Pursuing Love in the Past

Ferdo's Match Plan

Happy Reading 😊

🌸🌸🌸

Dafa turned to the woman who did not appreciate him. Reddened eyes and fists, showing overflowing emotions. Sherly, who saw the creepy face of Dafa, shuffled back. He was a little scared and tried to run away from Dafa, but Dafa managed to catch him and raise his right hand. But his hand failed to land on Sherly's face, as he saw Ayunda, Ferdo, Reina and Tony just outside from inside the elevator.

Ayunda gawked, seeing the other side of Dafa, which looked rough. At that point, Ayunda had no idea what had just happened. Ayunda walked away from Dafa and Sherly, ignoring what was their problem. Reina and the others also followed Ayunda.

Dafa tries to chase after her, but Sherly blocks Dafa by forcibly pulling his hand. Dafa tries to shake Sherly's hand, despite having to make Sherly fall because of the action of mutual attraction between Dafa and Sherly.

Dafa immediately chased Ayunda and the others, when they had just gotten into the car. But Dafa failed to catch up with them, because Tony had already driven away from the basement.

Tony had just escorted Reina to the front gate of his house. It took them ten minutes to argue with each other in the car, and finally Reina had to give in to Ayunda and Tony, as Ferdo spoke up.

"alright. Next time you should stop!" exclaimed Reina who did not want to be denied again.

Ayunda and Tony quickly nodded their heads, in contrast to Ferdo who gave no response. But in his mind, he mocked their child-like behavior. Tony rushed his vehicle to leave Reina's residence, he did not want Reina to force them to stop.

"Sir", call Tony with doubt on Ferdo. Ferdo glanced at him at a glance, which made Tony even more hesitant to continue his remarks.

"What's wrong?" ferdo asked impatiently, as Tony did not continue.

"Ehm, do I have to take you first?" ask very carefully.

"Not necessary", he replied briefly.

Tony nodded his head as he waited for Ferdo's next speech. But after a few minutes of waiting, Ferdo did not also continue his words, Ferdo was seen silent while looking out the window. Tony was getting riled up, he kept asking himself in his mind. So Mr. Ferdo went to Adrian's apartment, huh? his inner. After the question rages in his own mind, Tony finally decides to take Ferdo to Adrian's apartment. Then Tony drove his vehicle to Adrian's apartment at a moderate speed.

Ayunda and Ferdo tell each other the memory of their past. Tony who focuses on driving, just looking from the rearview in the car, the look on Ayunda's face was very happy when talking to Ferdo. His eyes seemed to sparkle even though Ayunda did not directly look at Ferdo.

Tony turned the car, entered the basement of the apartment. They went straight out of the car, when the vehicle was perfectly parked, then walked to the elevator.

Ting.

The elevator doors opened wide on the third floor, where Adrian and his family lived.

Chequek.

The apartment door was wide open, and suddenly Adrian approached Ferdo while looking intently at him. "Why don't you pick up your phone?" adrian asked in annoyance. But Ferdo ignores it by slamming in while passing Adrian.

Adrian pulls his best friend's hand, which forces Ferdo to turn around. "He's your grandfather, Al", said Adrian, who made Ferdo quiet in his place. "Try to call him" he said, patting Ferdo's arm gently. Then Adrian walked past Ferdo who remained silent.

Ferdo grabbed the phone in his pocket, there were dozens of missed calls from the grandfather on his phone screen. He hesitantly contacted his grandfather again, then placed the cell phone in his ear.

"Hallo, Grandpa", said Ferdo when he had just heard his grandfather's voice across the phone. Then he walked away, towards the balcony.

Adrian just stared at Ferdo's back who was walking away while scratching his non-itchy head.

"No", reply Adrian brief.

"O, where's his grandfather?" ask Ayunda later.

Just as Adrian was about to reply to Ayunda's remarks, Ferdo had already come up with an annoyed face. "Bro, I have to go home. Grandpa is in this town" he explained to Adrian.

"OK, be careful on the road", Adrian replied seriously.

"Should I take you, sir?" tony asked politely, because he knew Ferdo had come with them. Tony had no idea that Ferdo had asked his subordinates to pick him up at Adrian's apartment.

"No need" Ferdo replied briefly, then walked out of the apartment after saying goodbye to Adrian, Ayunda and the mother who had just come out of the room.

Ferdo got out of the car, as his subordinates escorted him to the front door of the restaurant. He stepped up lazily, knowing the purpose of his grandfather asking him to come at a family gathering tonight.

Ferdo circulated his gaze when he was already inside, he was looking for the whereabouts of the grandfather. After finding him, Ferdo walked over to his grandfather.

"Night, Cake", greet Ferdo while hugging the grandfather. Siska who heard the baritone Ferdo's voice, instantly widened her smile. I hope Ferdo greets him. "Night, Om", he said politely.

"Hi, Ferdo", Benny greeted Siska with a smile. "It looks like you're very busy, yes", he continued.

Ferdo looked at Benny with a knotty smile. "Not really, Om", just reply.

"You're a hard worker. It's lucky that the woman who will be your wife" said Benny who made Siska smile in shame.

Ferdo cleared his throat when he heard Benny's words, "Om, too praising", he said with a forced smile.

"Well, you're great. Hardworking, humble. You're the ideal son-in-law" Benny said, praising Ferdo. Ferdo choked when he heard Benny's words, he put the glass in his hand back on the table.

"Be careful, Fer", exclaimed Siska attentively, then tried to gently pat Ferdo on the back, but Ferdo brushed him off quickly.

"Ehm, it seems like they are getting close" said the grandfather while clearing his throat. "How about you, would you agree that he'd be your son-in-law?" tanyanya.

"Yes!" benny answered firmly. "There will be no one who rejects a son-in-law like Ferdo" he said later. Then Benny turned to his daughter. "Are you right, baby?" benny asked while winking at Siska.

Siska nodded her head in slight hesitation, "yes, Pa", she replied with a smile. Siska really hoped it would happen.

"Sorry, Cake. I don't think it's his time anymore, to do matchmaking" Ferdo said firmly. Then he got up from his seat and put the napkin from his lap on the table.

"Ferdo! Don't be disrespectful!" sergeant the grandfather, when Ferdo is about to leave. "Sit down!" pinta the grandfather firmly while staring at Ferdo.

"Sorry, Cake. For this one, I'll argue!" exclaimed Ferdo, who had moved from his place, after hurriedly saying goodbye to his grandfather and Benny.

The grandfather continued to call out to him, until he distracted the other visitors, but Ferdo accelerated further, walking outside the restaurant in annoyance.

To be continue...
