I was in a turbulent sea
Is he going to be the captain?
*****
Bian smiled welcoming us, He seemed trying not to always look at me. Honoring Grandpa Dan and Den, the first Generation of Grace.
Not long after that Lusi's aunt, Diandra, the two men I assumed were Papa Bian and Diandra's husband. Two of Diandra's sons and daughters came out from inside the house welcoming us.
They saluted with grandfather, and the two adorable boys burst out asking for his grandfather's embrace.
The carefree babble of Diandra's son, diverting everyone from my fierce face to face with Setya and Diandra. Setya has the face of his three children but has a resemblance of aura to Diandra.
I straighten the body. Gesture to tell them, I'm not afraid. At least I came with two of the most influential people in the Anugrah family.
On the basis of manners, of course the reverent salute was still given to the Bian family. Gives a positive view that I'm a good daughter-in-law. Don't they think so?
"Prospective son-in-law? Your son brought me here but it was as if I were asking," This heart is deepened.
It's all over, Orchid. Not in the heart. In a space in the corner of your heart, this is what you really want. The subconscious desire that holds the heart to soften on Kenzo.
"It was unexpected that we would meet so soon after the last meeting" Danar said. I replied with a small smile.
Should I blame Danar's views? the last meeting that just happened. I with the status of Kenzo's lover is now present as his sister's future wife. Maybe if in the position of Danar then will think the same if you do not know what happened.
Bian took a position next to me, Now everything's headed our way.
"You're so cheerful that I miss youth" joked Den's grandfather. I could hear the laughter of some of us on the terrace. Except for a father and his daughter.
"It's not polite from earlier we just stand here, let's please come in," Aunt Lusi let us all go into the dining room.
"Lusi, did you invite chef Daniel?" grandpa Den asked, His gaze was towards a man with a white apron who nodded towards us.
"Yes, we deliberately invite respect to Papa Dan who is so fond of all chef Daniel's cuisine,"
"You don't pay attention to my taste, Lusi's just Danny," Den's grandfather joked.
"Papa Denny likes all the cooking, I know whatever cuisine is served will not be a problem,"
Danny laughed at his sister, We sat down at the big dinner table. Tasya is on my left side, while Diandra is next to Tasya. Bian positioned himself to my right. Danar was of course next to his sister. The parents are in front of us.
The concept of an open plan room, featuring views of the garden and swimming pool from large windows. Patterned marble gives an attractive look. As interesting as the charming looks of its residents.
"Thank you dad Dan and Den for attending this lunch, I represent a very happy family in the midst of our busy lives. Can together fulfill the idea of Lusi to hold a lunch together," said Setya.
"It takes a special moment to be present, you finally introduce us to the prospective daughter-in-law. Bian will even step over Danar," Danny replied as he looked at us.
I can see Setya's flat expression. Age has provided enough experience for such a heart-wrenching expression.
"Yes but anything can happen, For now because there are things to be resolved we have not officially visited the Orchid family,"
Setya's sentence literally showed that she had not proposed to me, Officially I'm not her son-in-law.
"We haven't proposed to Orchid, Grandpa Dan. There are many things that must be resolved," added Diandra affirm his papa sentences are conveyed subtly.
"Yes because Orchids still have to do their business so while the time is delayed, I will return to the city of Orchids. To help her so that our relationship could be formalized soon," Bian looked at me with a sweet smile. I of course retaliated. We acted as if innocently not knowing what 'many things to finish' meant'.
"What are you doing, Orchid. Can you tell us?" diandra's voice sounded melodious.
"I am currently managing a noodle business and opening a franchise and launching our boutique products...."
"Oh noodle stalls huh? do you have a boutique or a regular dress shop, Orchid? for the naming of the boutique itself leads to limited sales with exclusive products, you know?" ask Diandra in a satirical tone.
He pretended to ask when he did not further downplay my efforts.
"Can also be called a noodle shop depending on the viewing angle. We prefer to name the outlets for branches and partners because it is packed modern, restaurant for sales that covers the whole. I've implemented a franchise for Miepa. Special boutiques themselves so far me and colleagues who design each product, For this season we use the services of fashion designers," explained I was full of confidence.
Isn't Danny's grandfather also started the business from the bottom level.
"Anggrek also packs noodle packaging in the form of frozen food so it can be shipped out of town, in addition to other frozen food sold through the agent and reseller system," added Bian.
"Oh yeah, where did your fashion designers come from?" I could see Setya's happy look at her daughter who meant to corner me.
"As our target market is medium, our Fashion designers are graduates of fashion majors. Have good qualifications and experience in this target market. He has worked with several boutiques and achieved good results, Analysis for the market segment and his design boosted the sales of the boutique, That consideration made us recruit him,"
Yes, I definitely add spice to our designer fashion. Let alone knowing the background of education even which is Meidina. The fashion designer Natasha chose, I don't know yet.
"Figures start from the bottom, in my view. He has an entrepreneurial spirit. The idea is interesting, Pack an authentic traditional dish with a simple dish. Being frozen packaging and providing a place that attracts all people including young people, He introduces new ideas in his area" Danny's grandfather chirped in the middle of the conversation.
"A new idea usually faces many obstacles and risks to launch ideas, especially for your area. Is this your first attempt?" ask grandpa Denny.
"Rubber, Kek because in my own area there is no franchise for various variants of noodles. It can be said that our early pioneering efforts for serving noodles from various natural ingredients and homemade frozen food are packaged modern. My place is also in an effort to have an instagramable feel, my price range is friendly in the pockets of young and middle people," I explained.
What I've been doing has gone a long way with Danny Anugrah Company but it's my hard work.
"It's simple but it sounds good because in the area if in Jakarta, it's normal" Diandra looked at me. He seemed to represent the inner voice of Setya who seemed to be looking for safety with the two Anugrahs.
"Grandfather started the business also from below, Diandra. You who are in this room just run what is the result of our hard work," sidelines Denny's grandfather staring Diandra and Setya.
"Not something that is easy to start a business, let alone new ideas, We will face many obstacles and risks to launch these ideas. We've felt the phase that was on the Orchid run without support from anywhere, we started from zero" added Danny's grandfather. Makes the mood quiet.
"That's right, Grandpa. My business once reached the mentioned point when there was someone intent on stealing my ideas and sales location. Sometimes we can't guess the reason people do that" I said lightly as I looked at Setya.
"Sometimes someone wants to take us down with or without a reason" Denny's grandfather said.
"Would we start lunch, Daniel has everything ready. Please for the opening menu," aunt Lusi took over the situation.
Finally Daniel the private chef called the Bian family has finished his task, I breathe a sigh of relief. This family always makes my heart shake.
After lunch, we moved into the family room. Setya and Diandra seemed more silent, I breathed a sigh of relief when Grandpa Danny and Denny decided to go home.
"Thank you for the lunch, I hope after this there will be another big banquet" Grandpa Denny patted me gently on the back.
"I also can't wait to be busy again in a big event, Later when my proposal comes along yes uncle Setya and aunt Lusi," said Tasya, the first voice after he had been silent.
"Of course we're going to propose to Orchid with your mama and daddy, we're just going to collect the invitation with Setya,"
"Well, papa," Setya nodded respectfully to the two Graceful. Yeah, he didn't have any more 'weapons' after Tasya called off the match. The Anugrah nuclear family will not interfere in Prasetya's affairs anymore.
"I also can't wait to return to my hometown, Glad to get candidates from my own village. There's a reason to go back home," aunt Lusi smiled gracefully at us.
"Thank you all for your support in our relationship" Bian said with a nod.
"Come home with us or you, Bi?"
"Together with me, thank you, Dan's grandfather and Den and Tasya have received Orchids. Later we stop by your house again," said Bian who greeted Grandpa Den's clap on Bian's shoulder.
After the passing of the Anugrah family, the Prasetya Family chose to leave me and Bian.
"You're looking for something, Brother Bian!" my growl.
"Because of searching, I know you are good at defending yourself now" whispered Bian in the ear.
"You know I have to rewind the schedule home, I have a lot to finish tomorrow!"
"Yes Orchid, you remember my message, right? you don't go anywhere because I have to be always in your heart,"
"Sister, I have to organize and finish everything first,"
"Good, Orchid. I'm always waiting for you,"
I know the Prasetya family has approved of our relationship, there is no reason for rejection because our relationship is supported by Danny Anugrah and Denny Anugrah.
One support alone Setya has lost let alone two. Just keep the hearts and feelings of the people in my city.
24 Hours unexpectedly, the love cord that Kenzo has broken off. Not that I immediately knit love with Bian. I need some time to sort things out with the family that still exists.
My parents can hang if they know their daughter is coming home with another future husband. Bian is never easy but this time the first step is smooth. We stayed 'tidy' to step into the dream relationship.
