Exactly at 10.00 Arseno looked at the street from the car that brought him.
'Today I'm going to meet the woman I'm going to set up with, somehow I seem to hope she's so ugly that I can reject her,' thought Arseno.
"Brother, are you all right?" Yuriza asked who woke Arseno from her daydream. Yuriza sat right next to Arseno. They both sat in the back seat, while Mr. David and Mrs. Diva sat in the middle seat of the car driven by Mr. David's driver.
"No," said Arseno curtly.
Arseno saw the car that brought them into the orphanage's yard. Now, they are starting to get out of the car and the name of the Dwi Hasanah Orphanage is written on the front. Arseno was sure that he had been taken to an orphanage that his mother often talked about.
"Why are you going to the orphanage? Don't we want to meet that woman?" asked Arseno in surprise.
"The woman is inside, Arseno," said Mrs. Diva.
'Is inside? Is he the owner of this orphanage? No, not him. The owner of this orphanage is Mrs. Sri. Mrs. Sri is already old, how could she possibly be matched with me,' thought Arseno who was starting to get restless.
'It's not funny if a CEO of the biggest company in Indonesia gets married to a woman, hmmm, to be more precise, a grandmother,' thought Arseno who was horrified by his own reflection.
"Arseno come on in!" shouted Mrs. Diva when she saw her son was still standing in the courtyard, while Mrs. Diva had already moved closer to the entrance.
Arseno immediately realized and walked after his parents and younger sister.
"Mr. David, Mrs. Diva, Mr. Arseno and Miss Yuriza welcome to the Dwi Hasanah orphanage, please come inside," said Mrs. Sri who was very excited to welcome her special guest.
"Thank you, Mrs. Sri," said Mrs. Diva who stepped into the house.
"Please have a seat, Mrs. Diva," said Mrs. Sri.
However, Mrs. Diva immediately went to the backyard, where food was already arranged and the children were playing in the back.
"Mrs. Sri, we should go straight to the backyard," said Mrs. Diva.
"Sorry, Mrs. Diva, but it's very hot behind because of the sun, it's better if Mrs. Diva is here, for the food, let Jingga and Adisty carry it," said Mrs. Sri carefully.
"Mrs. Sri, I don't mean to be special here, let me, my husband and my children get acquainted directly with the children in this orphanage," said Mrs. Diva.
Mrs. Sri seemed to be silent hearing Mrs. Diva's words.
"Mrs. Sri, what my wife said is true, let us get acquainted with the children here, after all, we haven't visited this orphanage in a long time," said Mr. David.
"Okay, let me take it to the backyard," said Mrs. Sri who decided.
In the end, everyone went to the backyard. For some reason Mrs. Diva was very happy to see a small child, she remembered back when Arseno and Yuriza were small and cute.
"Mrs. Diva, if it's hot, sit there," said Mrs. Sri, pointing to an empty chair that was protected by the hot sun.
"Mrs. Sri, don't make us special, here we are with Mrs. We will play with the children here," said Mrs. Diva who held Mrs. Sri's arm.
"Yes, Mrs. Diva," said Mrs. Sri.
"Ma, Yuriza is there with the little boy," said Yuriza, pointing at the cute little girl. Yes, what Yuriza was pointing at was Anna.
"Yes," answered Mrs. Diva.
Yuriza also walked to go to Anna, but it turned out that there was an Orange who also approached Anna.
"Sis Jingga," said Yuriza.
"Miss Yuriza, nice to meet you again," said Jingga.
"It turns out that Big Brother lives here," said Yuriza, who pretended not to know. Yuriza often goes to Jingga's boutique to buy clothes there, not because she wants to wear them but all this is on the orders of Mrs. Diva who wants to monitor Jingga's boutique.
"Yes, Miss, I lived here 10 years ago," said Jingga.
"Wow, it's been a long time, oh yeah, what's his name? I saw him thinking to himself," said Yuriza.
"Let's get acquainted with Miss Yuriza," said Jingga.
"Hello Miss Yuriza, my name is Anna," said the little girl named Anna.
Meanwhile there was Arseno who was sitting next to a row of drinks. Now he is really stressed with his parents' requests that don't make sense to him.
'If the two of them weren't my parents, I wouldn't want to follow this stupid request, until now Mama hasn't told me who the woman will be marrying me, I'm really sick of seeing small children running here and there,' thought Arseno who already getting annoyed.
Arseno stood up from his seat but suddenly...
Bruk!
A small child suddenly bumped into Arseno's big body. Arseno of course didn't feel any pain, but he felt something wet on his pants.
"How dare you spill a drink on my pants," Arseno snapped when he saw that his pants were already red with syrup.
Arseno's yell succeeded in making everyone silent and scared to see Arseno's very angry attitude towards the little boy.
"Master, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," said the little boy, looking down.
"You know my pants are very expensive, and you're just an orphan who can't possibly replace them," Arseno snapped again as he raised his hand towards the little boy.
"Master," said Jingga who immediately hugged the little boy.
"Sir, on behalf of Ridho, I apologize for spilling a drink on your pants and making you angry," said Jingga pleadingly as he put his hands together and knelt under Arseno.
"Orange stand up!" Mr. David ordered who approached Arseno and Jingga.
At first, Jingga looked doubtful but Mr. David nodded.
"Arseno what are you doing?" said Mr. David.
"This little boy has spilled the drink on Arseno's pants, Pa," said Arseno.
"What was the little boy's name?" asked Mr. David gently.
"Ridho, sir," said Ridho while holding Jingga's hand, it was very clear that Ridho was very afraid of Arseno's attitude.
"Okay, Ridho, you go first, okay, sir, I want to talk to your son, Arseno," said Mr. David.
"Okay sir," said Ridho who immediately ran away from Mr. David, Arseno and Jingga.
"Watch your attitude! Ridho is still a child and everyone here is a child, aren't you ashamed to be rude in front of the children?" said Mr. David disappointed to his son.
"Arseno is annoyed, Pa. These are expensive pants and a gift from Selva," said Arseno.
"Ohh, because this is from Selva, you look like a person who has no shame and manners? It's useless if you study abroad if you don't apply ethics here!" snapped Mrs. Diva who was disappointed with her son.
"Mrs. Diva and Mr. David, it is indeed Ridho's fault here for hitting Young Master Arseno, I am very sorry because they have spilled the drink into Young Master's pants," said Jingga who felt bad.
"Jingga, Ridho is still a child running and playing is their right. If they are wrong, it doesn't mean they are yelled at like that, after all, Ridho immediately apologized, right? Even such a small child knows his respect," said Mrs. Diva.
"Mrs. Diva and Mr. David, we should just talk in my room, it's not pleasant for the children to see," said Mrs. Sri who noticed that many children were watching the drama created by Arseno this afternoon.
They are now all gathered in Mrs. Sri's room, including Jingga, Adisty and Mrs. Dwi and the other caretakers of the orphanage.
"I'm sorry for my son, Mrs. Sri," said Mrs. Diva directly.
"It's okay, madam. Instead we have to apologize to the ladies and gentlemen's family," said Mrs. Sri.
"No, it's natural for Ridho to be like that because he is still small," said Mrs. Diva.
"Come on, let's just make it a lesson so that in the future it doesn't happen like this. Arseno, Papa and Mama, I hope you don't do that to small children. Let's go straight to the point where we are here," said Mr. David.
"Yes sir. Oh yes, because today the caretaker of the orphanage is very complete, so I will introduce all of them to the madam and sir," said Mrs. Sri.
"This is Mrs. Dwi and this is Jingga and Adisty who are orphans but when they are adults they still live here to help take care of this orphanage," explained Mrs. Sri.
"Well, greetings to meet everyone. I am Diva and this is my husband David and my children Arseno and Yuriza," said Mrs. Diva.
"Mrs. Diva is the biggest donor to this orphanage for the past 5 years," said Mrs. Sri.
"Yes, that's right. We are the biggest donors, I hope that in the future you will be able to work for this orphanage sincerely and of course form a good character for the children even though you are not their biological parents," said Mrs. Diva.
"Yes, Mrs. Diva," said everyone.
"Okay, Adisty you can leave here," said Mrs. Sri who asked Adisty to come out.
Adisty immediately rushed out of the room.
"Jingga you stay here," said Mrs. Sri when she saw Jingga about to leave.
'I'm here? What is it? Do you still want to talk about this problem? Wasn't it already done by Mr David earlier?' Jingga thought.
'What? Ji ... ' thought Arseno. Immediately, Arseno's head hurt when he heard Jingga's name.
"Brother Arseno are you okay?" whispered Yuriza who saw her sister holding her head.
"No," said Arseno.
'Why does my head hurt to hear the name Jingga? Who's he?' Arseno thought.
"Yes, Mrs. Sri, what's wrong?" asked Jingga.
"Sit down, son," said Mrs. Diva.
"Mrs. Diva will tell you something," said Mrs. Sri.
Deg!
'Oh my God did I do something wrong?' Jingga thought.
"Just take it easy," said Mrs. Diva. Of course Mrs. Diva said that because she saw Jingga tensed up against Mrs. Diva.
"Yes, Mrs. Diva," said Jingga.
"Orange how old are you now?" asked Mrs. Diva.
"20 Years Mrs. Diva," answered Orange.
"Have you known my son before?" asked Mrs. Diva.
"Yes madam, Miss Yuriza often goes to the boutique to buy clothes," said Jingga.
"Not Yuriza, but Arseno, Jingga," said Mrs. Diva.
"Mr. Arseno? I just met him in person, Mrs. Diva. I've never met him before," said Jingga.
"So this is Jingga and Arseno, we plan to match the two of you together," said Mrs. Diva, suddenly making Jingga surprised.
"Betrothed to Mr. Arseno? Mrs. Diva is not wrong?" asked Jingga surprised.
'So she's the woman? She's beautiful but not to my taste, her small body is far from sexy my lover, Selva,' thought Arseno.
"It's not wrong Jingga, we really want to make you our son-in-law," said Mrs. Diva.
"Mrs. DIva, but I don't have anything, I'm just an orphan living with both parents and my income is not much," said Jingga.
'He's an orphan? Why did Mama give me an orphan girl? It is clear that Selva is more attractive,' thought Arseno again.
"It doesn't matter Jingga, we are not people who look at someone from the economy, having a daughter-in-law like you is not difficult," said Mrs. Diva.
"Jingga, Mrs. Diva and Mr. David really want you to be their son-in-law, they see you as good and worthy of Young Master Arseno, I hope you can accept this matchmaking," said Mrs. Dwi.
"Why does it have to be Jingga? There is Adisty who is not more beautiful and kinder than Jingga. Really, Jingga doesn't have the power to be side by side with Mr. Arseno," said Jingga who felt bad.
"We chose you because you are destined for our child, we believe you are the best and can understand Arseno well," said Mrs. Diva.
'Mr Arseno? He's handsome, but this man doesn't have a patient soul and is very angry, I really don't like it,' Jingga thought.
"Arseno why are you silent? How about it? This is Jingga that we will match to you, you must agree, because this woman is very beautiful and kind," said Mrs. Diva.
"It's up to Mama and Papa," said Arseno who immediately left Mrs. Sri's room.
'Oh my God, Mister Arseno definitely doesn't accept this matchmaking, then what should I do?' Jingga thought.
"So how?" asked Mrs. Diva.
"Does Mr. Arseno agree with this match, Mrs. Diva?" asked Jingga.
Mrs. Diva seemed to take a deep breath.
'I knew for sure Mr. Arseno would not agree with this decision,' thought Jingga again.
"Jingga, indeed Arseno does not agree, but we really want you to be together, so we beg you to accept this matchmaking," said Mrs. Diva.
"What if Mr. Arseno still refuses?" asked Jingga.
"We will give you time, Jingga. We will give you time together until the wedding day," said Mr. David, who had been silent all this time.
"Okay sir, I ask for time to think about it," said Jingga.
"Then we say goodbye to go home, well, later we will contact you, Jingga," said Mrs. Diva.
"Okay, Mrs. Diva," said Jingga.
"Aren't you going to eat first, Mrs Diva?" asked Mrs. Dwi.
"No, ma'am, it looks like Arseno is waiting out there, later we will come back here, I apologize for the inconvenience that Arseno did," said Mrs. Diva.
"No problem madam, thank you for visiting," said Mrs. Sri.
Mrs. Diva immediately walked outside followed by Mr. David and Yuriza.
'It feels a little strange and like in novels, you are matched with a handsome and rich man,' thought Jingga, who smiled to himself.
Mrs. Sri, Mrs. Dwi and Jingga escorted Mrs. Diva, Mr. David and Yuriza to the car.
Jingga saw Arseno who looked at him with a questioning look.
'That face, why do I feel like I've seen it before? But where? Why does my heart tremble when he looks at me,' thought Arseno.
'Why is Mister Arseno such a fluster? Could he really fall in love with me so soon?' Jingga thought.
'Oh God, I hope my decision is right by matching Arseno with the child of the person who was hit by him, I hope this is the best way, not the other way around,' thought Mrs. Diva who saw Arseno and Jingga looking at each other.
