She's My Brother Not My Mother

26. Choosing an Matchmaking

It has been a month since Ken fell down the stairs, the father of three children is healthy as ever, although the age is almost half a century but his face still looks handsome and more mature, he said, what never changes is his perversion to his beloved wife.

Already ingrained may if not get rations or meet with his beloved will be dizzy and not concentrate in work.

Ezo has finished taking his final Junior High examination, Fia has also obtained SMU graduation certificate at one of the favorite public schools in Jakarta.

Almost a month ago Faro also heard Ramos Sandara's group was closely monitored by the police or intelligence, so that their movements were not too free as before.

But unfortunately the man who shot the two men who attacked Fia was not found, as was the gaek's lawyer, in Singapore, the lawyer was reportedly shot by a drug gang that was seizing the area.

It's almost past this week of the promise to meet, Inneke still does not dare to meet Faro, although Inneke has returned to live with his parents and grandmother in Jakarta.

Faro himself almost broke up not being able to contact Inneke via mobile phone or looking through his friends, even Erna could not if she wanted to contact him.

Unexpectedly, while Faro was sitting in his brother's office, was reporting the company's development getting a WA text message.

"Bang, I'm waiting at the restaurant where Jelita's sister works, now yes...!".

Faro widened his eyes reading the message, rushing his heels to his ashes.

"Abang otw.. wait there" Faro wrote briefly and sent to Inneke's mobile phone.

"Abi, old man, there's something I have to do, Mario come quickly with me!" Faro kissed the back of Ken's hand rushing out towards the company parking lot.

"What's the boss, why the rush?" mario asked curiously following Faro from behind in a hurry.

"Let's read this from Inneke, after disappearing for a month, suddenly he wants to meet at Jelita's restaurant" Faro replied walking along and Mario read the message.

"Elo who brought his car, but speeding yes, he will run away from there" orders Faro give the car keys to Mario

Almost an hour Mario is splitting the streets of Jakarta's crowded capital, at a fairly high speed, hoping that Inneke is still waiting there.

Just arriving in front of the Faro restaurant did not wait for the perfect parking car, immediately down ran to the restaurant where the beautiful and graceful girl was waiting there.

Inneke smiled seeing little Faro running up to him with a thumping heart.

"Have it been a long time?" tanya Faro sat in front of Inneke face to face.

"Not yet Bang, is Brother healthy?".

"Yes Alhamdulillah healthy, elo itself how?".

"Yes. I don't know Bang, I'm facing a dilemma" Inneke shredded looking at Faro's handsome face for almost a month never met him.

"Why is the dilemma, what is it exactly, elo like avoiding Abang continues, even the Erna is also difficult to contact elo?".

"Sorry Bang, looks like I want----?" Inneke lowered his head, speechless unable to continue his words, his tongue becoming a mute.

Faro clasped Inneke's hand, looked at his beautiful face, a little pale, like a lot of thought, and depressed.

"What's the matter, what's the dilemma?" Faro was still staring intently into Inneke's eyes that were so cute.

"Sorry Bang, I have no other choice, I must give up and retreat from this struggle of ours" Inneke lowered his head and his eyes were already creeked without being able to hold it.

While Faro was aghast and almost in disbelief with Inneke's remarks, it had been almost four years that the relationship had to end.

"Why is this so, we haven't fought, we haven't met our parents, why have you given up?" questions were asked by Faro with a high tone.

"I have no other choice Bang, grandfather has already betrothed me to the son of his best friend" Inneke replied, adding to the torrent of tears.

Faro recalled the opa Tomy, who a few months ago also said that he would also be in a match with the descendants of assistant Abi Dona.

"Who's the name of the man who's going to match Grandpa Elo?" asked Faro with a very disappointed heart.

"I didn't ask Bang his name, I don't seem to be interested in that person, I'm sorry this Bang is our last meeting, I have to carry out the mandate of my grandfather, I don't want to be an ungodly child, my father and mother were very much looking forward to this match, hopefully you can accept my decision, goodbye" Inneke stood up and ran towards the restaurant exit with tears still in his eyes.

Faro could only stare at Inneke's departure without being able to say a word, his lips locked tightly, only muttering to himself it turned out that in the past month he had been avoiding matchmaking as well.

Mario who from the beginning sat at the table behind Inneke, hearing clearly the conversation of the two couples, walked up to Faro and patted his boss's shoulder to give support.

"Boss, why don't you tell me that elo is also in a match, but choose to defend himself rather than the girl who is guaranteed a bokap" asked Mario smirked and rubbed Faro's shoulder.

"So, bro, maybe he is not my soul mate, if he is my soul mate, we will definitely unite again someday" replied Faro resigned, although his heart still can not accept the reality, but Faro tried sincerely, which he remembered only a message from his ummah that meeting, separation, soul mate and death were the secrets of Almighty God.

Mario slightly pulled Faro's hand as if his life was still not in his body, but near the door Mario hit a man holding a long-haired girl about two years old and holding a woman he knew and there was another sweet black girl following from behind.

"Sorry" said Mario, crashing into the man while bowing his body.

"Bang Rio...elo here?" jelita asked in shock.

"Eee Lita.iya just met with a client.

Mario then looked at the face of the man who was holding Jelita without blinking, like a stranger this man murmured in his heart.

"Who introduced her to my man, you should know, Bang Beno and this is our little daughter" Jelita introduced her little family.

"Beno who used to throw mangoes hit his head?" mario asked with an indescribable smile.

"Yes I'm Beno who often eloquently plop and will fly if exposed to the wind" Beno hugged Mario tightly and laughed loosely.

"Hi bro.elo forgot my ama" Beno's replacement hugged Faro trying to smile at least there is a friend who can comfort his wounded heart.

"Oya introduce this boss of mine Bang, his name is Ara, he comes from Thailand lo" Jelita told me again.

Mario immediately reached out to greet the sweet black girl who was smiling, while Faro only glanced at the girl as if reluctant to know the opposite sex.

"Hello, I am Ara, nice to meet you, nice to know you" Ara said kindly.

"Gue Mario and he's Faro" Mario tightly greeted Ara, while Faro just wrapped his hand on the chest smiling politely.

"Does he speak Indonesian fluently?" tanya Mario approached Jelita with a glance at the girl from Thailand.

"Bang Rio has a crush, huh, hayo?" goda Jelita blinked her eyes.

"We sit down for a while, long time no see!" invite Beno to pull Mario's hand with enthusiasm.

Beno was a neighbor of Mario when he was Junior High his house was at the end of the alley at that time, they often played together, indeed from a small Beno so adored Jelita, Jelita, until finally Jelita moved and Beno also went to school in the USA.

"Truly true love, so from Junior High elo only chase this mango tree-taught tomboy girl, crazy lo?" said Mario while shaking his head, and pointing towards Jelita.

"If it is love what is wrong to fight for, you know I chased after it for almost ten years" Beno told an enthusiastic story and looked at his wife with a sparkling gaze.

Faro like impaled right in his heart to hear Beno's words that love what's wrong in fighting for, while he was just left the girl of his heart because of arranged marriage without fighting for it first.

Faro's heart is so gamang, must how, want to follow Beno chasing the love of Inneke but it is impossible if the one who will be fought choose the matchmaking.

Mario glanced at Faro because of the words from Beno, right about his own heart murmured, but Mario was only able to rub the back of his boss as moral support.

Eventually Faro chose to play on his cell phone, rather than chat with them, just hearing them tell stories.

"Yes ... Ara said Thai, how can you be your boss anyway Lita?" Mario asked so curious because he saw his face, his age is not much different from Lita.

Finally Jelita told me, if Ara was Beno's friend while studying in the USA, Ara joined Beno to Indonesia because she wanted to embrace Islam and learn about Islam in Indonesia directly.

Ara wanted to embrace Islam because she often heard Beno read the holy verse of the Qur'an while still in college in the USA.

Jelita also told me that Ara bought the restaurant to start her own career without the help of her parents in Thailand, because her parents in Thailand did not approve if she converted to Islam.

"That means he's been living in Jakarta for a long time?" ask Mario again.

"Tell Ara yourself, don't go through me?" tease Jelita again.

Faro looked up at Jelita teasing Mario, nudged his arm and whispered in Mario's ear "Sono asked for his phone number, so as to lose his nickname of eternal singles".

Mario glances at Faro and moves to Jelita and Beno, but Mario is hesitant and nervous.

"Ara... Can I have your mobile number?" said with doubt.

"Yes can Bang, here's the number" Ara gave the phone that had a number on it, and Mario typed it quickly with the name of the prospective companion.

Faro who was next to Mario glanced at his cellphone had read the name written by Mario.

"so the name, what's that for?" ask Faro wonder.

"To encourage myself aja boss, I do not want to lose the same as the playboy village" replied Mario sekhenya.
