Agni was surprised to see Hardi's stunning figure as Agni stood at the entrance of the fine dining restaurant. Hardi smiled sweetly at Agni. Hardi was wearing a blue dongker suit and a sky blue shirt. Agni returned Hardi's smile. Agni continued her steps towards Hardi. Agni's footsteps were followed by her bodyguards. Agni brushed off Hardi's right hand when Hardi wanted to hold Agni's left hand.
"Well, are you here? Isn't it Mbah who wants to come here with me for lunch?" agni said confused while looking at Hardi.
"I'm actually the one who brought you lunch here. I'm afraid you'll refuse if I take you to lunch" Hardi said.
"Ooo," said Agni flatly.
Soon Agni and her bodyguards walked to the only table in the restaurant while looking at the very romantic restaurant decor in confusion. There were no visitors in the restaurant except for them. The restaurant room is filled with various flowers and candles - candles are arranged neatly so that they look beautiful. Agni stopped her footsteps. He looked down, it turned out that the floor of the restaurant was covered in a red carpet sprinkled with some petals of white roses.
"What are you doing and decorating this restaurant for?" ask Agni confused.
"For both of us lunch," Hardi replied gently.
"But it does not need to be this romantic, Mas" said Agni flat.
"I'm doing all this for someone very special to me."
"Gombal" said Agni ketus."
A second later they continued their steps towards a table that had been decorated by several aromatherapy candles and flowers so that it added a romantic impression. Hardi pulls a chair for Agni. Agni nodded her head with a smile, then sat down on the chair. After circling the table, Hardi sat on a chair opposite Agni so they faced each other. While the bodyguards Agni was standing behind Agni.
Two waitresses approached them with food trolleys. One by one the two maids put a romantic lunch on the table. Two servings of Tenderloin steak with mashed potatoes, two servings of fruit pudding, two glasses of water and two glasses of orange juice are served on the table. Agni took the napkin that was on the table, unfolded the napkin, then put it on her two thighs.
"Thank you" Agni said politely as she turned to the waitress.
"Same Madam," said the waiter, then the two waitresses left from there.
"What was the process of investigating your abduction case when you gave the statement this morning?" hardi asked as he picked up a fork and a small knife, then cut the steak.
"Thank God, it's going well, Mom" Agni said, cutting the steak.
"Have you met Auntie Sri?" hardi said after swallowing a piece of steak.
Agni simply shook her head in response to Hardi's question because she was chewing. Hardi entered the piece of meat into his mouth, then chewed it. Instantly the atmosphere was silent, only the sound of knives, forks and spoons clashing with plates. Hardi noticed the motion - agonized Agni who was eating lunch while eating.
"I did not expect Om Hendra to do such a cruel thing to me," said Agni sadly after drinking water.
"Well, his name is also a bad person" Hardi said after drinking water.
"I feel sorry for Aunt Sri because she has a husband who is evil to her older sister's family."
"Do you know why she wanted to kill you and your late husband, Edward?"
"I don't know yet, Mom. Oh yeah, thanks for lunch."
"Samely," said Hardi, then he flicked his thumb with his thumb.
A second later the music of Waltz Venna echoed inside the restaurant. Hardi stood up, then walked slowly towards Agni. Hardi reached out his right hand to Agni while bowing his body like a European noble who wanted to take the dance. Inevitably Agni accepted the invitation because she respected Hardi's efforts that had made their lunch atmosphere romantic even though it was not as romantic as expected by Hardi.
Hardi's left hand hugged Agni's slender waist, while her left palm held Agni's right palm. Agni's left hand hugged Hardi's right shoulder, while her right palm held Hardi's left palm. They dance to that music. Their eyes meet each other. Agni turned her gaze to a flower bucket that had orchid flowers. Agni remembers having dinner with Edward on the riverbank. Agni closed her eyes in memory of that time.
"Why did you close your eyes?"
Instantly Agni opened her eyes, then turned to Hardi and said, "No problem, Mas."
"If you're not married, who will look after you while you're at Oxford?"
"I'm sure I can take care of myself, Mom."
"It must be that the late Eyangmu who was already in heaven so sad to see yourself living alone in the land of people."
"I'm still confused about marriage right now, Mom. Only nine days later I felt the happiness of marrying Mas Edward, and then the sadness of losing Mas Edward. But I have a feeling that Mas Edward is not dead and I'm sure of it."
"Where do you think he is now? If he's alive, he'll come for you. You have to move on from this, Agni."
"I don't believe one hundred percent of the criminals. I think they shot at Mas Edward, but those bullets didn't hit Mas Edward. Edward threw himself into the river to escape the bullets of the criminals."
"Ok, after he fell into the river, he swam to the river bank. He should have come to you. But the truth is that up until now he hasn't come to you."
"Your imagination is too high. You can still think in reality and accept that reality sincerely. I'm sure you can definitely accept the fact that Edward is dead. You can definitely take that."
"But my feeling is that Mas Edward is alive!" agni said annoyed because Hardi did not believe her feelings.
"Ok, I'll find Edward later. But there's a condition" Hardi said lying.
"What's that?"
"You want to marry me."
"May I have a few days to think about it?"
"May, but only one day to think. And Edward's search limit is only up to a week. Hows it? Deal?"
"Ehm .. okay."
"Where are you going?" asked Hardi who shifted their topic.
"I'm going to see Jenny, Mom."
"You better not get too close to him."
"Why is it, then?"
"She's a bad woman, I'm afraid you'll be affected by the negativity of being too close to her."
"No, I want to wake him up. I feel sorry for his life. You don't have to worry, Mommy."
"May you manage to resuscitate her."
"Aamiin Yes Robbal Alamiin. By the way, while studying at Stanford, you were influenced by the free lifestyle** yes?"
"Well, it can be said that."
"At first who influenced you to have sex before marriage?"
"Boy work."
"Job buddies? Isn't that where you went to college?"
"When I started college, I worked part-time at a coffee shop. There I met James and Valerie. I quit my job because cooperation was forbidden. I should focus on college there."
"If it's not wrong Valerie is your ex-boyfriend?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Don't he take your virgin?" ledek Agni's
"Ehmmm, don't discuss it," said Hardi flatly.
"Oh yes, then please tell Mbah, out of Jenny, I want to go to Aunt Sri's house," said Sri.
"Would you like to see him?"
"Yes, I want to say a lot about Aunt Sri."
"I'll accompany you there."
"No need."
"I'm sure you'll ask me to go there."
"Yes dech, you'll be there."
"Ok, I'm happy to accompany you."
