Dinner preparation



In the morning Ameera was ready for martial arts training. As usual, on Sundays, he would practice martial arts with his father. Ameera was waiting in the courtyard. But his father hasn't shown up yet. He wandered in the park alone. Occasionally his tail glanced at the door, but the one in wait never came.


"Which father yes. Dad's usual waiting, why hasn't this clock appeared yet?" ameera muttered in astonishment.


Ameera went into the house to find her father. Not yet in the house, the person in the car had appeared to make Ameera shocked.


Rudi approached Ameera who was standing in front of the door.


"From today you no longer need to exercise. You graduated!" said Rudi who made Ameera widen her eyes.


"Huh?"


What does that mean? Why I goosebumps. I graduate?


"You've had enough of his training. You've been training hard all this time "he said as he stroked the top of Ameera's head.


Things he had never done to Ameera, making Ameera feel something strange. Because all this time his father seemed to forget that Ameera was a daughter. She brushed her hair almost never.


"Ma... Ma's..... Thanks dad. "he said with a weird smile.


"You don't have any activities today, do you?" ask Rudi.


Ameera shook her head, "No, Dad. "


"Tonight Dad has a dinner invitation with Daddy's boss, you have to dress up pretty. Dad has prepared a dress for you to wear, later in the afternoon there will be a salon person to help you. "


Glug


Ameera gulped down a rough spit, then groped her nape.


Especially this? Inner Ameera


"Yes, Dad. " Ameera was forced to do so even though there were thousands of question marks on her head. Abolished her martial arts training, invited to dinner, and told to dress up pretty. For Ameera, there is something worth questioning.


He had no idea what surprise was waiting for him. With a gontai Ameera steps up the stairs to her room.


"Isn't Dad just a regular employee at the company he works for? Why are we invited to dinner all?" ameera


Ameera opened the door of her room. Upon entering the room, his gaze was fixed on the two boxes that were on his bed. Soon he approached, and opened the box. Looks like a beautiful bone white dress.


"What'sthis? A dress? it must be this expensive. Looks like this dinner is important, dad to buy an expensive dress just for dinner. " Ameera looked at the mirror as she lifted the dress.


"I never had a dress this good. But I must be like wearing it." murmured Ameera considering how tomboyish she was that she felt she did not fit in that beautiful dress.


Then Ameera glanced at the other box and immediately at dikita. Ameera gaped in disbelief, in the box there were very beautiful shoes. Ameera tried the shoes.


"What should I do with these shoes? How to wear it try?" Ameera wondered.


"Evening is important, why should I come?"


Rudi had been covering it from Ameera by not giving Ameera a life of luxury. He only gave a matic motorcycle for Ameera to use to go to school.


Something that Ameera had never realized was, when she left school with her motor matic. If it has passed the fence of the house, that's when the guard over him is tightened.


Some of his father's men will follow him and make sure he has security from leaving to going home from school. And only Rangga noticed it.

Meanwhile at the Chandra Jaya family home, Zarima has just told Ozan that tonight there will be an important dinner with the Hutomo family.


"Where are you going tonight, Zan?" ask Zarima.


"No, where are you going? I'm just a house arrest. " said Ozan insinuating the mother.


"You're ready, Zan. We have an important dinner with the Hutomo family. You have to be as cool as possible. "


"Loh, is not his wife Mr. Rudi already dead huh...? Who else is in his family?"


"Sir Rudi has one child. Tonight, Mama invited Mr. Rudi and his son to dinner at our house." added Zarima


I never knew that you had a child. I don't think dad has any kids. That's why he thinks of me as his own son. But I never said I had a child either. Inner Ozan


"Then why do you have to perform as well as possible?" Ozan is amazed if only dinner with Rudi who almost every day in his jump, for what formal dress.


"Just mama doesn't want to know, you have to look as perfect as possible. Point no use comma! " Zarima tried to stress Ozan not to appear in casual clothing.


What's the matter? Tumben they're having dinner. What's so special about this dinner ? Is there anyone else coming? Inner Ozan

In the afternoon came the salon employee who will help Ameera dress up. There were 2 beautiful women there. One is a make up artist and the other a stylish hair. They started making over Ameera at Ameera's father's request. Ameera who had never gotten such a privilege was astonished.


After struggling for a long time, finally finished the two men dressed Ameera.


And the results are really unexpected, Ameera looks very different from her daily life. Ameera stood in front of the mirror staring at her reflection. It was as if he was looking at a different person in the mirror.


Rudi who was ready since earlier in formal clothes, was impatient to wait for Ameera in the living room. Occasionally glanced at the clock on his wrist.


Until Ameera came down the stairs. Rudi who saw it felt amazed. How not, all this time Ameera never looked like this.


Ameera looks more beautiful and mature, with natural makeup on her face, her hair in the form of a sausage curly hairclip, combined with a bone-white dress, it is knee-length on its front and somewhat longer on the back.


"Lumayan also make your makeup, let's leave later late. It's an important event" while being amazed looking at Ameera.


Rudi also drove his car to the Chandra Jaya family home.


Along the way Ameera wondered where they were going and why they should dress up like this. He wanted to ask his father, but seeing his father's serious face, he abandoned his wishes.
