The Beloved of the Heir

15. Meeting Event

Silence enveloped Erlangga's mind which was currently soaking in the bathtub, he tried to make peace with his mind and heart in order to accept, that Israel is Rangga's fiance.

"Abueh ... Sat bang!" Erlangga came out of the water while hitting the water around him.

He rubbed his face to the back of his head violently, then got up and came out of the bathtub. He took out a towel that he wrapped around his waist, then he walked out of the bathroom.

"Excuse me Young master, Master is already awaited by the great Lord below." Mr. Beni stood behind Erlangga.

"In a moment, I will go down" Erlangga said with a jutek.

On the other hand, the Louis family welcomed the arrival of Israel and Karina in a friendly manner, as the maids escorted her to meet the Loius family who were already in the dining room. Kylie hugs Karina and praises Israel's natural beauty like her mother.

Joshua invited Israel and Karina to sit down first to wait for their two children to leave their room. Grael sits next to his mother and hears Kylie calling Rangga's name, sending his heart racing.

Grael grew increasingly nervous as Rangga came down the stairs approaching them, so handsome and had a high posture. He wears a white long-sleeved shirt that matches the white dress of Israel, not forgetting the black cellana jenanss to add to his cool impression. Rangga smiled at Israel and kissed Karina's hand

"Geez, the handsome one" said Karina.

"Who used to dong Papi." Joshua confidently prided himself and made Kylie laugh while pinching her husband's waist.

"Still Aunt" said Rangga who blushed in embarrassment and glanced at the beautiful Israel.

"Well, where's your brother? How come you're not coming down?" josua asked who was looking towards Erlangga's room which was above.

"So, Rangga called Pih, maybe it will come down soon." Rangga chose to sit right in front of Israel.

"Ah .. yes, that's it." Joshua immediately told the maids to serve food on the table.

Some maids directly carried out the orders of their master, so many dishes on the long dining table. Starting from appetizers, main meals, desserts and various drinks that Israel has never tasted.

"Well, eat a lot yeah .. don't be shy," said Joshua who told the maid to serve Israel and Karina.

"Makasi, Om," said Israel.

Joshua just laughed at the sweet and innocent look of Israel, he was getting impatient to marry his son to the beautiful girl.

Not long after, Erlangga came down the stairs with the appearance of wearing a sweater shirt and Jogger pants, so simple but able to bewitch everyone who was in the dining room looking at him, he said, except for Israel who is still cool with his mind to choose the food that is in front of his eyes.

"Well ... Grael, Ms. Karina introduce, this is .. my first child, Erlangga Louis." Joshua introduced Erlangga.

"Er-Erlangga?" Karina was immediately surprised, she had not been able to continue her words. Karina looked at Rio who had already moved his limbs from a distance away, so that Karina would not say anything and shut her mouth.

Karina who understood just laughing while saying that she often saw Erlangga on television, Joshua also laughed happily when his eldest son was really very famous.

Grael was also surprised when he saw the figure of the man in front of his eyes was the first child of Joshua, he returned Erlangga's hand with a forced smile. Their eyes met each other, looking at each other. Grael who saw there was sadness on the face of Erlangga, somehow he felt like he was caught red-handed because he was caught cheating on him.

Joshua immediately told everyone to eat, the atmosphere in the room was able to make Israel shiver. Because he felt uneasy when Erlangga continued to look at him coldly, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

"Well, eat a lot! Don't be shy .. if there is still less to say." Joshua gave her the salmon steak that had been cut by her.

"Thank you, Om." Grael accepted it happily and glanced again at Erlangga who was still looking at him with a murderous gaze.

"Papi .. That's Rangga's job! Please start first." Rangga stood up and exchanged the dishes of Israel with his plate.

Josua's laughter immediately broke, when he saw his favorite son was so jealous to see him pay more attention to his future daughter-in-law, so happy Josua when his dream all this time who wanted a daughter will finally be achieved by having a beautiful daughter-in-law plain and smart.

They enjoyed their dinner with warmth and laughter, but in contrast to Erlangga who put on a cold face during dinner. After finishing the main meal, they continued to eat dessert while talking about their child's matchmaking.

Joshua, who wanted Rangga to marry Israel at a young age, made Erlangga stomp his glass violently on the table. Sontak made everyone look up to him, as did Israel. He had already guessed the dark aura above Erlangga's head.

"Er, it's full." Erlangga got up from her seat and left everyone still dumbfounded with her attitude.

"Oh, shouldn't we wait to graduate from school?" persuade Rangga who dilutes the atmosphere.

Everyone also objected to Joshua's decision to marry Rangga to Israel in the near future, but not Joshua if he could not get what he wanted.

"Rangga and Grael can still go to school, and continue their schooling to college. Delaying pregnancy is also okay, after graduation this may directly love Papi grandchildren," said Joshua, because he wanted to make Israel live decent and get good facilities.

"O-om, if possible Israel pinta .. can I get engaged first?" ask Grael nervously.

Joshua looked at Israel and saw a shady face in his eyes, making Joshua instantly say he agreed quickly. Everyone did not believe what Joshua had just said, he quickly accepted Israel's request.

"Ok, Om will talk about the date of his fiancee. As long as you want to accompany Rangga who from earlier wanted to be alone with you," said Joshua kindly.

"But you know, thank you." Rangga smiled, he approached his father to do a slang child style tos and stood up to invite Israel to go to the back garden.

***

The atmosphere at night is so bright with the light of the moon and stars, adding a romantic impression on two lovebirds who are kasmaran. Rangga continued to hold the hand of Israel until he reached a place called Gazebo.

'"You're sitting here, yeah, for a second." Rangga let go of his handrails and picked up a guitar, he sat in front of Israel while giving the girl a red rose.

Rangga smiled at Israel and then plucked the strings on the guitar she was holding, then she started singing a romantic song to her lover.

...Not sure if you know this...

...When we first met...

...I got so nervous I couldn't speak...

...In that very moment...

...I found the one...

...My life had found its missing piece...

...So as long as I live I love you...

...Will have and hold you...

...You look so beautiful in white...

...And from now 'til my very last breath...

...This day I'll cherish...

...You look so beautiful in white...

...Tonight...

Songwriter: Shane Filan

Beautiful In White

Grael was so moved when Rangga sang the song Beautiful in White by Shane Filan, so melodious and touching. She shed her tears, and covered her mouth with both hands as Rangga pulled out a love-shaped pendant necklace, after singing the romantic song.

Rangga approached himself to put the necklace on to Israel, the distance of their faces so close that Israel could see eyeballs, nose to lips Rangga so close.

After putting on the necklace, Rangga saw the eyeballs of Israel who was staring at him. He smiled and whispered words of love to Israel while peeping his forehead.

"Thanks, you want to come into my life." Rangga held Israel's cheeks with both hands and gently rubbed Israel's lips, a kiss for the second time that Israel felt like a chocolate ice cream flavor that was so soft and sweet.

Without them knowing, from a distance. There was a human being staring at them full of burning fire, so great that it burned his mind to reclaim what he should have.
