Restore Your Smile

Treaty

We're backtracking on a conversation that took place a few months earlier.

"Celine, where's your boyfriend? It has been a few months without the trunk of his nose," said Mr. Adipratama.

"Celine told Papa .... Bang James just lost his job, Pa .... So his savings are limited. The cost of boarding a plane is quite expensive, " replied Celine.

"Don't he get a new job?" ask her father full of questions.

"Yes, Pa .... It was only about a month that Bang James worked at RSUD. The status is still employee orientation, " replied Celine as is. Freely he covered it from the Father, because it could have been his father had investigated it.

"But the boy should still be facing Papa, Celine. The promise of your engagement he made in front of Papa. As a man, he should dare to take responsibility for it. After all, until he had to be unemployed for so long, wasn't that his own choice? Why won't he accept our help in finding him a job?" mr Adipratama Protest.

"For trouble facing Papa, Celine is forbidden. In addition to the cost problem, Bang James still needs adjustments to the new work environment. So Celine asked Bang James to focus first. For the matter of not receiving help, it was because Bang James wanted to be independent, Papa .... He does not want to use the power of our family. Don't you usually like people like that?" obviously Celine.

"Yes. In general, Papa likes. But so people have to be flexible, Celine .... We can't hang a relationship just because of self-esteem!"

"Bang James didn't hang up our relationship. He only asked for time until the orientation period was completed in two months." Celine defended her lover.

"If it is finally accepted. What if he was rejected? Your engagement plans are backtracking again?" Mr. Adipratama quipped his daughter.

Celine was silent for a moment. He knows no one can guarantee that. He was just trying to trust his girlfriend.

"Request time, Papa .... Please give Bang James a chance until the orientation period is over. Celine believes Bang James can definitely be accepted and continued with his contract, " said Celine in a clear voice.

Mr. Adipratama sighed. "alright. Three months right from the time the orientation began! If after that the boy does not give news or is not accepted, you must want to join the match!" Mr. Adipratama expressed his decision.

"Celine doesn't want to be betrothed, Papa! Celine will determine Celine's own pair!" push Celine away immediately.

"How can you determine the right partner for you, if you only look at the boy? You never give another man a chance to be compared to him. You are like a newly hatched chick, and will follow anyone thinking it is the mother. So is your experience with men" argued Mr. Adipratama.

Celine remained silent. Bekernyit. He did not like his father's opinion, but on the other hand he could not deny it either.

"Papa's not asking you to cut off your relationship with that boy, Celine. Papa just asks you to expand your association, especially with the opposite sex. Just meet up first. If you are a friend, please continue. If not, yes already. Consider meeting with a business partner. Because Papa does not want you to wait in vain without a certainty. You know what Papa means, right?" Mr. Adipratama tried to persuade Celine.

After three years of living together, Mr. Adipratama already knows the character of Celine. A few of his daughters have the same level of stubbornness as him and his brother. So it would be better for him to try to persuade her well with appropriate reasoning, rather than force her.

Celine took a breath. "alright. Celine agreed to enter into an arranged marriage only if Bang James had no news or was not accepted after his orientation passed. And even if Celine ends up following the match, Papa must promise that the final decision remains in Celine's hands. Celine who determines the man is suitable/not with Celine. The important thing is that as Papa said, Celine has given him a chance. That so?"

"Again, " replied Mr. Adipratama.

Thus was the covenant made, until it was not felt that two months had passed. Today was exactly three months James worked at RSUD.

Celine waited for news from James tensely. In the near future, the news must have arrived. Celine did not dare to ask him for fear that James would worry. So he chose to wait for James to tell him first.

A few days passed. Celine's getting nervous. James did not mention the matter of his orientation at all. His conversation with James was about that. Even now they are talking about the plan of activities they will do together if Celine comes to visit him later Saturday. Fortunately, his father had no movement at all. Therefore, Celine was still able to calm her heart.

Friday has arrived. Celine works in the office and does her usual activities. Until the time approximately shows at 13:00, his father enters his study (noted: Celine and his papa work in the same room, the main director's room - eps 74 ). Looks like his dad just got back from lunch.

"Celine, go to Papa's desk for a second. Papa wants to talk."

Deg. Celine's feeling is bad. His premonition said his father would discuss the matter of matchmaking.

After Celine sat on the chair facing the main director's desk, her father said, "The promised time arrives. Your lover has not told you. Now keep your promise. Papa has already made an appointment with the man you will be betrothed to today. His name is Stanley Gunawan Tirta, son of the chairman of Gunawan Persada Company. Meet him around 6 at restaurant X, and enjoy dinner together."

"Papa will respect your decision, whether you will accept the man or not. Just promise to judge fairly. Don't make it difficult for her just because of your rejection of this matchmaking." Seeing Celine's moody and uninspired reaction, her father gave her advice.

"Good." Celine according. He must also respect his father's opinion if he wants his opinion also appreciated by the Father. As long as this deal is fair enough, he will.

"Good! We will continue this conversation at home after your meeting with him. Papa wants to know your assessment of that man."

"Good, Papa."

"Yes .... Go back to work."

"Good, Pa. Celine excuse me, " said Celine.

Celine returns to her desk and tries to focus on her work. Decreased spirit. It was filled with guilt. It felt like he was cheating on James.

No. gabe. I'm not cheating! It's just a regular introduction. Consider it a meeting with a business associate. What matters is that my heart stays faithful, right ? Celine tried to calm her own heart.

...****************...

The time is 17:30. Mr. Darwis was holding his aching stomach. He has been to the WC several times. It seems like he ate wrong when choosing the lunch menu earlier.

Rrnrrn .... His stomach rumbled back, as if persuading his owner to return to the nearest WC. But he did not dare to leave his guard post, because soon he had to carry out his duties to take Bu Celine to the matchmaking place. The order this time was handed down directly by the President Director. The leader has advised that he must not be late.

In his suffering to withstand the demands of the law that increasingly forced to be immediately disposed of, suddenly he saw a young man who he had taken to his house, was removing a service car from the parking area. He immediately ran up to the young man and knocked on the glass window next to the driver.

"Wait on! You ... from what part and where are you going?" asked Mr. Darwis after the window in front of him was opened by the Driver.

"I'm from the healthy food section. I want to take samples of raw materials requested by the production department, Mr. .." replied Joseph who recognized Mr. Darwis as Celine's driver.

"You're close to Miss Celine, right? Please replace me to take him to the matchmaking place yeah .... My stomach hurts so much, going immediately to the WC, " said Mr. Darwis with a clear face.

"But, Mr .... What is my job?" joseph was confused.

"Let's talk to Ms. Celine. He will definitely arrange it. The task of leading him to an arranged marriage is more important, because it is an order from his father directly. It's been yeah .... I can't take it anymore. Here's the car keys, " said Mr. Darwis, handing the keys to Joseph.

Without waiting for Joseph's reply, Mr. Darwis immediately ran towards the nearest WC. Only Joseph was still fixated on what had just happened.

What did Mr Darwis say? Take you to a matchmaking place? Miss Angel wants to be betrothed ?

Joseph was speechless aware of the difference in the situation between himself and the Miss. At a relatively young age, Miss Celine has been betrothed by her father. Compare with him who has entered the mandatory age of marriage. Boro-boro anyone wants to be betrothed to him, looking for himself he can not.

That brief contemplation made Joseph smile bitterly. With his current condition, he did not dare to look for a partner. He still has to focus on his mother's health and the cost of his sister's education. Connecting with a woman definitely requires a separate budget, which if calculated the amount is certainly not small.

Joseph stopped thinking that would make him feel sorry for himself. He prefers to focus on what is in front of him.

He then saw two keys of the car that were now in his hands. One is the official car key, and the other is Miss Celine's private car key. Once he realized one fact he inevitably had to face in a moment, cold sweat immediately sprung up on his forehead.

Wait a minute .... That's Miss Celine's private car, not a black BMW? I-I have to drive that expensive car??!! Die me, Mommy!!! Am I capable ??!! ask her to herself, while looking at her already trembling hands.
