Young Master Liem

Young Miss Liem: Dance party

Siaw Cing hurriedly pulled out his hand that was being held by Antony.

“Actually I do not need to be held, my legs and hands are fine, can walk alone,” said Siaw Cing.

“In Europe, this is common. Oh.. I forgot, this is in Semarang, different from the Netherlands. By the way is there a man who has ever taken you?” ask Antony.

“Ada.”

“Who?”

“Two of my sisters. But it was then, when I was a kid.”

“After big, who have you been with?”

“Nothing, I have no male friends.”

How happy Antony's heart when he heard it, the girl was still pure. It is fitting that he does not care so much about appearance, it turns out that there is no urge to do it.

“Simply, it turns out you are still innocent. Nice.”

“You said what, good?”

“It's good, meaning I have a chance to be your first male friend.”

“Who said I agreed to make you a friend. We are just acquaintances, if you have proven good as acquaintances, then I will consider you friends.”

“Then, give me the time and opportunity to prove myself as a good acquaintance.”

“Actually I've been kind to you, wanted to be invited to a party of people I don't know. It's gonna be awkward, uh,” Siaw Cing snorted.

“It turns out you are a difficult woman to conquer.”

Siaw Cing turned to Antony who from earlier could not be separated from looking at his face with sparkling eyes.

“So your goal wants to conquer me?”

“Sorry if my words are a bit offensive, I shouldn't say conquer. I just want to be close to you,” Antony said.

“There are thousands of girls out there. Even I just don't consider myself beautiful, why choose me for you to approach?”

“Because you're different, and who says you're not pretty?”

“Hahaha... Koh Wan Siang used to say, hey Siaw Cing my ugliest brother. And Koh Sun Kwan said, Siaw Cing is my funny brother. No one said I was beautiful.”

“Means I'm the first one to think you're beautiful.”

Siaw Cing seemed almost at a loss for words when he heard Antony say so, he suddenly felt embarrassed, his cheeks became hot instantly. Then he tried to adjust the breath so that his heart became calmer. What kind of words would that mess with his heart?

“Looks like you are very good at seducing and conquering women huh?”

“Not really, I am a person who likes to express what is in my mind. If I say beautiful, it means you are real beautiful.”

Siaw Cing's feelings became more and more chaotic, then he cupped his palms to his own face, he had never felt so embarrassed like that, until inwardly he repeatedly said “Aiya!”

“You've had how many lovers?” ask Siaw Cing.

“I have lived in the Netherlands since childhood, I know many Dutch girls, but... because of my ideals married to Semarang Chinese women, like my mother, so I never had a lover.”.

“You think I can lie to you?”

“I don't like to lie, what good is lying with you?”

Siaw Cing was silent again, if from his straightforward and unhesitating manner of speaking, it seemed that Antony was not lying.

“Not many Chinese girls in Semarang, why take me to the party?”

“Because, you're the only one that caught my attention. I'm not interested in the others. Arguably, I like you.”

“What?!”

Siaw Cing did not expect that the man could easily say that, now it was not only Siaw Cing's heart that was messed up, even his heart was like it was about to come off.

“I hope you like me too, be my wife,” Antony said.

“I wonder..why there are people like you in this world. That confidence in yourself, too high.”

“Iya..but, you said this when we've only met three times. Just met three times, have asked me to be a wife, it's surprising.”

“Then you need how many more meetings to be my wife?”

“This...it doesn't matter how many times you meet. This is the problem, I just don't know who you are. I don't want to buy a cat in a sack. So far I only know that your name is Antony Gwie.”

Antony Gwie laughed at Siaw Cing's confession. He had not told much about himself to Siaw Cing, it was fitting that the girl was so shocked when she said she wanted to make him a wife.

“Oh. Eh... do you know cigarette brand “Ship Lajar”?

“Yes, I also know where the factory is, everyone in Semarang also knows it,” said Siaw Cing.

“Good start. Well... I work in his factory.”

“Oh, so your job is in that cigarette factory, in what part?”

“The cigarette factory is actually a company called NV. Gwie Ting Tjiang, and that Gwie Ting Tjiang is my name. The founder is Papaku, Gwie Sin Boen.”

Siaw Cing was surprised to hear Antony's explanation, then he noticed the whole car, the car certainly belongs to the Gwie family which is very rich.

“Master, we've arrived,” said driver Antony.

“Parman, you go straight home, I'll drive home.”

“Good Sir, goodnight.”

Siaw Cing heard the conversation of the two people. The man named Parman seemed to have great respect for Antony. So indeed Antony is Young Master Gwie, NV owner Gwie Ting Tjiang. Now that Siaw Cing's feelings were even more chaotic, besides being shocked to hear Antony's background, the girl was also embarrassed because all this time she had been thinking a no-no, even had thought that Antony was just a seductive man.

Upon entering the Resident's house, an incredible sight appeared before Siaw Cing. The Host House is so spacious and beautiful, filled with Dutch ladies and masters in beautiful clothes. The Dutch-language music flowed melodiously, while the lighting in the room that came from crystal lights made the atmosphere warm.

The party at the Dutch host house is incomplete without a dance, and in that place, space is provided as a dance floor. Young people who are mostly Dutch start to pair up and dance to the beautiful music.

Antony raised his hand again in front of Siaw Cing.

“Will you dance with me, Siaw Cing?”

It would be impolite if Siaw Cing did not respond to Young Master Gwie's courteous request. So Siaw Cing gave Antony his hand and indulged his desire to dance.

While dancing with the accompaniment of soft music, causing the position of Siaw Cing and Antony's body to be very close to each other. Antony clasped Siaw Cing's slender waist and the two stepped into the music. Siaw Cing was once taught the basics of dancing by a teacher brought in by Ms. Liem's. It turns out that the science of dancing Siaw Cing finally applied also today.

Adjacent to Antony like that makes Siaw Cing cheeks reddish, especially from earlier Antony's view never separated from him. It's like in a fairy tale. Siaw Cing was like dancing with a prince. Antony was very happy to be able to bring Siaw Cing up to that point, from earlier he smiled, as if Siaw Cing had become his wife.

“Sorry.. I've been suspicious of you all along, I thought you were a seductress who wanted to take advantage of an inexperienced girl like me.”

Antony smiled as he understood Siaw Cing's thoughts.

“Perhaps because I have lived in Europe for a long time, so my way is different from men in Semarang.”

“Maybe, I've never met anyone as brave as you,” said Siaw Cing.

“From now on you have to get used to my attitude. Don't think I'm weird again yeah.”.

Siaw Cing nodded, and tried to understand Antony's character that was shaped by European culture.

After finishing the dance, Antony drives himself to return Siaw Cing. The girl was sitting on the chair next to Antony. Enjoy the night view with Antony in a slow-run car.

“Can I be your friend now?” ask Antony.

“Bby.”

“Means, I can go to your house often and take you out?”

“Ya, but I have to permission Mama first.”

“Oh, of course.. I will also ask your Mama for permission. We will often travel in this car. Do you like to ride in the car?”

“Yes, I like. More convenient than riding a horse carriage, the shock is less.”

“I also want to adventure with you, will definitely be very fun.”

Antony's offer was very interesting, because Siaw Cing actually likes to walk around seeing the outside world. Too long at home bored him, especially now his brothers have moved. Antony is his ticket to the outside world which is very interesting in the eyes of Siaw Cing.

Because the atmosphere of the night was so soothing, Antony suddenly desire to hold the hand of Siaw Cing. He held the hand of Siaw Cing on the sidelines driving, as if he did not want to lose the girl. Now Siaw Cing had given up his hands to be held by Antony, because his heart felt happiness when his hands were in the hands of the young man. It feels so comfortable.
