"Aeri, come!" call Tio to his youngest daughter to get closer to him.
The guests who were around were whispering in praise of Aeri's natural beauty. An embarrassed looking Aeri lowered her head down.
"Anton, how about we start today match our son?"
Question om Tio made his daddy Darren shock for a moment while Bella frowns. Darren and his daddy looked at each other, because the daddy was confused about what to answer to Tio. Darren gestured to his daddy from his face. It is implied that Darren does not like this matchmaking.
"That problem, I'm sorry I couldn't interfere. After all, I really appreciate your good intentions, but I also as the daddy must respect my son's opinion as well. So it was entirely Darren who determined whether he was ready to be betrothed or not" replied his daddy Darren wisely while turning to Darren.
Darren took his hand off Bella. Then he stepped up beside his daddy while smiling at his daddy's answer just now. On the other hand, Aeri embraces her papi hand because she nervously wants to hear the answer from Darren's mouth.
"I'm sorry Tio, I already have a boyfriend. Right now I'm in the approach stage with him" Darren said firmly.
"New boyfriend, right? Then you can also be friends with Aeri again like before?"
"That's..." Darren thought for a moment before continuing his words. He felt that the phrase om Tio effectively constrained him.
"You try to be friends. If you can't be a girlfriend, it doesn't matter. We will not force you. Isn't that right, mi?" said Tio who wanted to hear his wife's opinion.
"Sorry, om and aunt. I can't be so close to a girl if I don't have feelings for her" Darren said, causing Tio to lose face in front of people.
'What?? Darren refused to marry the sultan's daughter? Though there must be many who want his son juxtaposed with Aeri the princess of the sultan. Only Darren who to the point refused the matchmaking even friends just do not want.' Yeah, that's what the guests were talking about.
"All right! Don't take it seriously! Om and aunty just hope, but if Darren already has a candidate yes we can what. Hopefully in the future Aeri has a life partner like you," said om Tio while embracing Darren with his trademark smile.
Bella smiled smirk next to her papa as if enjoying her victory. He looks proud of Darren's attitude that rejects Aeri firmly. On the other hand, Aeri was seen in a friendly gangland by her mother who tried to calm her down. But Aeri did not show her sad face, she tried to smile in front of both her parents and the guests.
Bella follows wherever Darren goes. He followed Darren like a kid who asked to play.
"Why are you following me?" darren asked annoyed while taking five chicken skewers that had been served buffet.
"Why are you so cute gini anyway am I? Is there really a girl that you assess? Get to know dong to me!" her door was in a coquettish style while blinking her eyes.
"Hehehe.." Darren Cengengesan laughs. "Ogah," he replied firmly and then ignored him.
"Now that is it? Uda dare to play secrets, ama me? Tar I find out for myself," said Bella while leaving Darren who was eating chicken satay.
"You're here?" ask her new found daddy who is sitting enjoying his chicken satay.
"Yes, ded. Eat satay first, daddy want to?"
"So. Daddy was eating a vegetable salad. Why did you refuse to be sent to Aeri?" daddy asked curiously.
"I just don't want to give any hope to girls. Tau itself is ded, the om Tio ama aunt wants a mate of her son ama me. So it is better not to have any relationship than complicated. I'm mumbling my thesis, too."
"Aren't you having a crush on another girl? Alesan makes his thesis. Darren's... Darren's..."
"I have a crush on girls, Ded. But I also need time to get him, because he's different. He's the only one who makes me curious."
Darren smiled smirk and he imagined that if Via were easy to conquer, maybe he would not be single anymore.
"Wait for me to get her heart, tar I know to daddy and mommy. Anyway, she is the best girl and will not abuse daddy or mami," said Darren confident in his choice.
"OKAY. Daddy, wait for the good news. If she refuses, maybe you should consider Aeri going forward. He's a sweet kid too."
"No other girl, ded. Neither must he, "his protest.
"Haha.... It's all your choice, Der. Daddy wants to go there again. After this event, we just got home," his daddy said as he went to join his friends again.
Because it was saturated with the atmosphere of the party that took place, Darren decided to play the game on his phone. He sat with his right leg resting on his left leg while looking seriously at the screen of his phone.
"Sister, I'm asking for your phone number, okay?" asked Aeri who had been sitting sweetly beside Darren's right.
"Make what?" darren asked curiously and still looked at the screen of his phone seriously.
"mmm... Make a list of your friends."
"No need. I'm busy working. No time to reply to your chat."
Aeri. He gave Darren playing time with his postel first. Until Darren finally lost the game, he saved his phone back to his pants pocket. Half an hour, Aeri was still sitting with her sweet position next to Darren without bothering Darren at all. Darren had seen the clock at 19:45, he looked for the whereabouts of his daddy from his seat but the daddy was still busy chatting with his friends.
"Shy, brother?" asked Aeri with a sweet smile. "Here, I bring you a drink" she handed Darren a glass of apple cocktail.
"Trus if I take it, what do you drink?"
"I brought two, only mine was first," he replied with his innocent face.
Feeling bad, Darren accepted. "Thank you for the drink" said Darren.
"Take a shot, brother!"
Darren looked at his cocktail glass which contained several pieces of apples in it. He smelled the scent of the cocktail, it did look very sweet.
"Make me!" grab Bella who suddenly came and sat to the left of Darren and now the cocktail drink has changed hands.
"Ta.. but.." said Aeri with a tone of disappointment because Bella immediately spent it.
"Ohhhh.... Not bad," Bella responds after gulping down all the cocktails with no leftovers.
Darren just shook his head looking at Bella's reckless behavior. Then his daddy came to take Darren home. Aeri stood up from her seat and looked resentfully at Bella. While Bella was still sitting in her place while leaning. Suddenly his face turned red and he felt hot.
"Why is this sultry?" ask Bella who feels strange on her body. "Darren!" call him who didn't realize Darren was gone. "Der, where the hell are you?" bella asked who started to stand up but staggered like a drunk.
Seeing her son struggling strangely, both her parents Bella came to Bella and immediately took her home.
