Cerryl slowly stepped out of the parking area towards the restaurant entrance. Although not so wanted, but inevitably he had to come. Because given the good relationship between his parents and Reza's extended family.
At the entrance, two women in blue black uniforms immediately guided him after seeing and reading the invitation that Cerryl showed. Heading into the room on the second floor that had apparently been booked specifically for the big family event of Mr. John and Mrs Natalie, the old man from Reza.
"The beauty of the future son-in-law, aunt,,,"
Welcome a middle-aged woman upon seeing Cerryl coming. What was clear was that at once also several pairs of eyes immediately glanced towards Cerryl. Including Reza.
"Auntie's too complimentary,,,"
Cerryl replied with a forced smile while greeting Mr. John and Ms. Natalie. The rest, Cherryl only greeted the others by closing both palms in front of his face while half-bending.
Reza, who had risen and stood by her mother's side, immediately pulled out a chair and invited Cerryl to take a seat next to her.
Cerryl can only smile with a forced smile. Immediately sat down to avoid Reza's mischievous gaze that he had not seen for how long.
"Cerryl, we invited you here on purpose because there's a family of oms who want to see their daughter-in-law's niece,,,"
Miss Natalie just after Cerryl had just sat down. Cerry was not surprised. He had already guessed from the beginning the purpose of this banquet. Because Cerryl had previously heard that Mr. Goerge had just come from the Netherlands. In addition to business, he also visited his sister, Mr. John's family.
Mr. Goerge has lived and settled in the Netherlands for a long time. So it's definitely a good opportunity to visit and get to know their new potential family.
Cerryl was still silent with a smile of her compulsion. Trying to figure out a way not to mess up the banquet.
One by one the waiters began to come in and bring the appetizer menu. Laughter, jovial jokes began to spread. Some talk about business, households also gossip. But Mr. Goerge was more interested in talking to Cerryl. It was as if he was stripping Cerryl to let him know how fast Cerryl would fit into their extended family.
Mr. Goerge is the eldest son and the main holder of control of his business and extended family. No one dared to oppose with all his decisions. Included in determining the life partner of their family's grandchildren. It has special rules that cannot be broken. Although it looks friendly, but once roaring, it will be clearly seen the meaning of his power.
Cerryl is still Cerryl. He was never the slightest bit afraid or felt concern with the attitude of Mr. Goerge. Because honestly Cerryl never agreed and willing with this matchmaking plan.
"Cerryl, can you ask me a little bit of you?"
Mr. Goerge began to speak in a light tone after gulping down a bit of drink from the glass he was holding.
"Bole,om. Cerryl will try to answer" Cerryl replied calmly.
The mood also turned serious. Instantly they fell silent to wait for Mr. Goerge to speak. They know there must be something important and related to their families. The other with Cerryl. He looks so relaxed and calm.
Mr. Goerge also began to explain a little about the rules and life in his extended family. Although not detailed, Cherryl can already capture and understand what the meaning of Mr. Goerge is trying to convey.
There's a little doubt in Madame Natalie's heart. Looking at the direction of his sister-in-law's conversation was very sharp and piercing. However, he himself has tried to match Cerryl with his only son, Reza.
Cerryl was calm and happy. Because as far as he understood from the explanation of Mr. Goerge, he was unlikely to enter the creteria of prospective members of their extended family. Slowly a triumphant smile was seen from his face. Of course it invites many questions in the heart of Mr. Goerge also his sister, Mr. John. Especially with Reza. His face looked pale and gloomy looking at Cerryl's smile.
Anggun Cerryl speaks like a tutor. His words slid swiftly without being hampered by a word. Smooth but deep meaning. Even so, it still left two thoughts from those present.
Reza gently nudged his mother's arm, asking for clarification on Cerryl's words. Anyway, the guy knows what Cerryl meant. But he did not expect that at all. It really fell for Cerryl.
"Hem,, we'd better enjoy our dinner. Then we'll talk about it later"
Madame Natalie breaks the silence of the atmosphere. After having already given a hint that the dinner banquet menu was immediately issued to one of the servants standing nearby, as soon as Cerryl spoke earlier.
Finally one by one the waiters had finished delivering the main dish menu. While the others were ready to grab some menus and move to their respective plates, Mr. Goerge seemed to be starting to understand the attitude of his sister-in-law. While taking a few menus to her plate, she noticed the attitude of her sister-in-law and niece. The rest looks normal and normal in enjoying the dishes. Only the two of them in the eyes of Mr. Goerge showed a very contrasting attitude.
Mrs Natalie was very agitated when eating her dishes. So did Reza. It was as if there was something that made both of them lose their appetite. Mr. Goerge very clearly saw the attitude of his sister-in-law and nephew. Eating but a few times their eyes glanced at Cerryl who was not so concerned about the attitude of Reza and his mother. He enjoyed this meal.
Similarly, when Cerryl knew that Mr. Goerge also continued to pay attention to him. But he was just as happy as not caring and continued to eat dinner casually. Because at that time Cerryl was really happy and calm.
"Finally," whispered Cerryl inwardly.
That night, Cherryl felt something was missing. After a long time in his heart and mind, that night was so happy Cerryl. It was as if he had just received the grand prize from the lottery.
Along the way home, Cerryl ceaselessly widened his cheerful smile while occasionally seeing it himself the smile from the rearview mirror in the middle of his car.
"From today, I can do what I want without having to think about the feelings of Reza and Aunt Lie, too" he said.
