Forced And Forced Marriage
Part 4 Dinner

Delvin stared at Elijah's hands and face in turn.

Wrong, I shouldn't have done this! elijah cursed himself. Wanting to pull back his hand, but already, everyone who was there looked towards the two of them.

No, I should be able to! Elijah you can! do not embarrass yourself at the beginning of the meeting. Elijah said in his heart.

''hekm, don't keep looking at my face young master Delvin.'' Said Elijah with a bright smile by putting a little shy look of the cat on his face. ''You forgot to return my hand.'' continued Elijah while taking Delvin's hand on the table to shake.

''Eli.'' Elijah introduced himself.

Delvin was astonished to see the woman he was about to be betrothed to, so unpredictable, he thought she would not do this kind of thing, but what was this?

Delvin looked annoyed at Elijah. ''Due...''

''Delvin right? I already called it earlier, your name is already stored in my brain memory.'' Elina's words cut through Delvin's words that looked very upset, even the look of hatred from Delvin's eyes was very clear and Elina smiled happily to see it all.

Elina ended the handshake, she looked at the old people who were watching them from earlier, Elijah smiled.

''Well, it's good that you guys already know each other, now we have dinner first after that just continue chatting again.'' Said Ms. Mira with a happy smile. From the beginning he had already strongly agreed with this matchmaking plan, for some reason he wanted Elijah to be his daughter-in-law so badly.

The waiter of the restaurant came to bring a variety of food, which Elijah saw there was his favorite meal, Takoyaki typical Japanese food, since the first time he ate it he had fallen in love with this meal.

''Takoyaki stuffed shrimp eating my daughter-in-law's favorite.'' Miss Mira handed Takoyaki over to Elijah.

''Well, auntie know?'' Elijah took Takoyaki with vigor.

Delvin sighed seeing his mother's behavior. Whatwasthat? prospective daughter-in-law? mama never even wanted to get close or get to know Runa. Inner Delvin looked hatefully at Elina he was sure of the cause of his mother and father not accepting Runa because of the match with Elina.

Elina raised one eyebrow to see Delvin staring as if he had done something wrong and why the look of hatred made Elijah feel bad.

''I'm aunty know, you're a future aunt's daughter-in-law.'' Answer Miss Mira.

Elijah smiled at Mira's reply.

They all focused on eating no chatter as long as they ate.

After less than 15 minutes they had finished the dinner and continued with a serious chat about matchmaking.

''How do we get the wedding date?'' Said Mr. Hendra starting the conversation.

''Yes, it's straight away, isn't faster better?'' said Mr. Dika chimed.

Elijah and Delvin were silent to their parents' free speech, and they both had no choice.

''How about the 23rd of this month? that's the beautiful date 23, 2, 23 right?'' said Ms. Mira.

the four old men were happy with their decision, but in contrast to Elijah and Delvin the shocked and anxious look on their faces.

''23? isn't that too fast? and we haven't prepared anything yet.'' Elijah said worriedly, he did not want to get married quickly with people who had looked at him hate on the first day he met, really he was not ready.

''Don't worry we'll arrange everything together, the most important thing is that you two should be able to focus on preparing for the event. So Elijah can take two weeks off from college and Delvin will also take two weeks off at the office as well.'' Said Mr. Hendra to provide a solution.

''Elijah's leave order will be the father who takes care of tonight.''

Hearing the words of her father Elijah biting her lower lip looked at Delvin hoping that the man would say something to have the marriage postponed for another year or two.

Elijah did not get any response from Delvin he remained relaxed as if he agreed with the decision of their parents, but Elijah doesn't know Delvin is worried that his lover has not explained anything to Aruna if Aruna knows she will get married at this close time so she will not be able to imagine how disappointed and disappointed she will be Aruna's pain.

Damn, why should I be in a situation that would cause him to hurt Aruna? delvin said in his heart.

****

''Elijah, Delvin pick you up, right?'' Ms. Mira asked her son who was eating his morning breakfast.

''hunm, yes, he was rich, last night his agreement was that.'' Reply doubtful Elijah, because he was not sure a Delvin who always looked hatefully at him would pick him up. Elijah saw his watch, as agreed last night today he and Delvin will fit exactly eight o'clock this morning.

Elijah finished his breakfast the next morning. ''Bun, Elijah would like to ask you something after this, may?''

Miss Elina raised both eyebrows. ''Why can't you? let's run the family room now!'' said Miss Elina standing up from her seat.

''Mommy, is it over?'' elijah asked his mother.

''Already, the mother is full, come to the family room now hunt her Delvin come again.''

Elijah and his mother fell into the family room and sat there.

''Bun, hunm....Mother knows Delfina right?'' elijah asked carefully.

Ms. Elina looked at her confused child and then nodded her head.

''Mama.... know how rich he is?'' elijah asked again, not without reason Elijah asked this but because Delvin's hateful gaze last night made him think negatively about Delvin.

Miss Elina nodded her head. ''Delvin was well-established, kind, polite, and he also loved his parents.'' Ms. Elina stared and held her daughter's hand which looked hesitant. ''Makanya mother and father believe that Delvin can take care of you, he is a responsible man.'' Elijah's mother assured Elijah.

Elijah looked at the eyes of his mother, his mother was very sure that Delvin could take care of her, but why was it as if he was not sure if the man who was the choice of both parents could take care of her, Delvin hates the look Delvin gave him last night in his memory and why does Delvin hate him? it was a question that was always there when he thought of Delvin.

An arranged marriage that forces them to be united in the bond of marriage later. Elijah doesn't know why Delvin accepted this match? is he supposed to be the same as her or him? hah already, Elijah's head so suddenly dizzy thinking about it all.

Elijah's determination is already unanimous he will run his marriage later with sincerity even though he accepted this matchup because forced at least he will not disappoint the expectations of both parents.
