The Princess Mayor

4. The arrival of Jessica

Mila had finished changing her clothes, and she was now enjoying a cup of tea in the living room with Alex sitting across the table.

"Where do you work Lex? Mila asked Alex, he immediately asked about work problems because of the appearance of Alex who wears a suit stelan looks if he is a man who has earned income.

"I work as a staff at a company in Surabaya Aunty City." He replied to Mila, he had indeed been entrusted to take care of the branch of business owned by Mr. Wibowo.

"Oh ... I see." Mila mangosteen heard Alex's reply.

"Yes Auntie!" Alex replied again adding, every time he spoke or answered a question from Mila, Alex always looked polite in Mila's eyes.

"Old man ka- ..," Before Mila finished her question, there was a noise coming from the kitchen.

"Aagghhm ... Watch out! Watch out!"

Mila got up from her seat, when she saw Bi Nenah who was running towards her. "What's Bi, what's a thousand-ributes?"

"That, Mistress ... Anu." Bi Nenah's answer is unclear.

"Anu what Bi, speak clearly." Mila.

Leira also followed anxiously to see Bi Nenah like that. "Silence Bi! Relax!" He said as he hugged Bi Nenah and stroked her shoulder. "Let's explain slowly, what's up?"

Bi Nenah took a breath first and then told her the problem. "The pipes in the kitchen are leaking Non, the water is spilling everywhere Auntie just as Lilis has tried to close it but the bigger the bursts."

"Oh that way, no bomb exploded Bi ... He-he." Mila said instead of teasing Bi Nenah without feeling disturbed by the pipe problem.

"Let Leira call the plumber first yeah ... Auntie don't panic!"

"Sorry Aunt, Leira, if I may ... Let me just." Alex offered to help.

"Can you, Lex?" Ask Mila.

"I tried Tan, hopefully I can." The answer.

"Of course we can dong, even we are grateful that you are here." Mila. "Yes, Bi please take Alex there."

"Yes, let's den." Said Bi Nenah inviting Alex to follow her.

Alex goes with Bi Nenah to fix the leaky pipe, while Mila invites Leira to keep chatting with him.

"You seem to like Alex, Auntie, don't you?" Tanya Mila started her chat.

"No Tan, that's just Auntie's feeling." Leira answered evasively, but in her heart she was still worried between yes and no.

"Tante can judge from the change of your facial water, it looks very comfortable if you are close to Alex. Most Aunts know what your nature is, so you won't be able to lie to Auntie." It was clearly Mila who did understand the nature of this pounding. Leira was never familiar with people let alone strangers like Alex who had met several times.

"Leira feels that Alex is a good man, that's all Tan." Leira said briefly.

"Well, you know why Auntie talks like this." Mila's words imply that Leira must be vigilant and keep her distance from Alex because her match has been set.

"Yes Tan." Leira nodded but in her heart felt a pain that did not know why.

A few minutes later, a car came into the yard. Mila immediately rushed out to welcome her special guest, while Leira just sat quietly in her chair.

"Let's go, please come in." Mila's voice was heard by Leira and she immediately stood up from her seat. With anxiety, she waited for her future in-laws to enter the house.

"Good! Alrighty! Thank you, for the welcome." The voice of a woman who was called by Mila, her voice was soft and also sounded friendly.

Degs... Degs... Degs...

Leira's heart was pumping faster, as if she knew the voice of the woman speaking earlier. He was getting impatient to meet and find out.

The sound of footsteps began to approach, Leira became more and more agitated for him. In his heart he began to second-guess about the identity of the woman who would soon become his father-in-law.

"Hallo!" Said someone from the door, Leira turned her head and was surprised to see the person who had just greeted her.

"Aante Jessica!" Pekiknya was surprised by the appearance of his mother's best friend.

"Dear, this is Auntie." Jessica said as she spread out her hands.

"Aante!" Leira immediately ran towards Jessica and hugged her.

"How are you, baby? I'm sorry Auntie just came today." His speech was gentle to Leira who was now crying in her arms.

"Yes!" Leira nodded and wiped her tears. "It's okay." Said.

Mila who watched her nephew hugging his guest also shed tears, she felt touched by the scenery in front of her.

"This is yaa ... Her name is Leira!" The man who had just appeared at the door instantly opened his voice.

"Of!" Leira said as she reached out to kiss Wibowo's newly entered hand.

"It's big ... How's things going?" Wibowo.

"Okay, please come in. Wait, Ara called Bi Nenah first to make her drink." Sapa Leira's.

"God ... Relax, it'll be a hassle." Said Wibowo who was connected again by his wife. " Dear, later." Added Jessica.

"It's okay, it's okay." This time it was Mila who opened her voice. "You told Bi Nenah to drink it ..," he said, turning his head and speaking to Leira.

"Good Auntie!" Reply Leira, then go to tell Bi Nenah.

"Come! Mari! Ma'am, please sit down." Take it to that couple.

"Good ... Thank you!" Jessica replies with her husband's hand.

After they all sat down, Leira came to bring her own drinks because Bi Nenah was still busy helping Alex and she did not have the heart to bother him.

"Rohh ... Bi Nenah is still busy?" Ask Mila.

"Yes Tan, Auntie's still not quite right." The reply while serving drinks on the table.

"I'm sorry Auntie, dear Auntie, so take care of you." Jessica felt bad for Leira.

"It's okay, please drink Om, Auntie." Answer's friendly.

They also sip tea served by Leira, after drinking a few sips Jessica put her cup and glanced at her husband as a sign of starting the conversation.

"Look ...," Wibowo said at the beginning of his talk. "The purpose of our arrival came here, first of all want to express condolences for the incident that happened to Mas Crish and Ms. Marissa. And the second ...," Wibowo's remark paused for a while.

Leira waited for further remarks from the intention of the arrival of the two people close to her mother anxiously, she could already guess their intentions and goals. But he wasn't sure yet because who knew there was another intent behind him.

Wibowo took a slow breath before continuing his words." The second is."

"Mah! Whah! You guys have come?" Alex, who had just finished his work helping Bi Nenah, immediately returned to the living room, once he found his parents were there, he immediately let out a voice to call them.

Wibowo turned to his son, the conversation that had been cut was not continued. He told his son to come closer to him. "Dry!" Call her.

Mila who just found out that Alex is the son of his guest couple immediately exclaimed in surprise. "Alex!"

"So-so ...," said Mila nervously. "So Alex is your son?"
