As usual, every dinner, the whole family gathers at the dinner table. They enjoyed their dinner quietly and quietly. As well as Oma Ana, no sound completes their dinner.
It didn't take long for them to finish their dinner. If not the strict rules made by Oma Ana, Alvin prefers to run as far as possible to avoid his Oma and certainly prefers to spend time with his friends.
"There's something important that I want to say" Oma Ana's voice made everyone at the dinner table stop their eating activities and immediately directed her sharp gaze towards Oma Ana. A very curious look and can't wait to listen.
Oma Ana wiped her mouth with a special silk napkin she used to eat and put it back on the table.
"I've found a suitable woman to marry to Alvin"
"Uhukis.. Uhuk.... " Alvin who was drinking suddenly choked when he heard the words Omanya. His eyes glared in disbelief. His fierce look looked scary. Oma Ana did not budge. He was still calm in his sitting position.
Hadinata and his wife were only able to exchange glances.
"Oma ain't serious, are you?"
"This time Oma is serious. Tomorrow, Oma will invite the girl to lunch here. And all must be present, without exception" he said with great emphasis.
"Sorry Ma, it looks like tomorrow I won't be able to attend lunch. I've had an appointment with my new client from Singapore" Hadinata argued trying to convince her Mama of her job.
"Cancel all appointments. Tomorrow is a holiday. I don't accept various reasons. You've been spending too much time off with other people outside" Oma Ana's voice sounded flat but was able to make my hair stand up.
"But Ma, my client this one is a very important person and difficult to find. This greatly affects the cooperation of the company. And I made an appointment with him a month ago, I can't just cancel"
"Would it be that if you weren't a director you could still meet with your important client?Huh uh?? You must remember Hadinata, my position is still as the President Commissioner of the company you manage. So I have full rights over you" Hadinata only fell silent with her clenched hands. His wife helped to calm him down by holding her husband's hand.
Oma Ana got up from her chair and walked slowly towards her room. Alvin stared furiously at his parents. A look of anger filled with frustration because his parents could not do much to thwart the crazy plan of his omanya.
"Should I marry a woman I don't know at all? How's character? And where did his family come from?" Alvin was furious with a dead end like this. He wanted to run as far away as possible from his family.
"If you want us to live a simple life, you can resist your Oma's wishes. But unfortunately, Mama is still not willing if you have to live suffering from Alvin. There's no choice unless you marry the woman of your choice Oma. If you don't like it, you don't have to continue the marriage forever. The important thing is that you get married first" said the mother really sounds very hypocritical and irresponsible to her son.
"From time to time, you only prioritized money over everything. Please mama think about my feelings. I will have this wedding. Not you. Do you love your wealth more than your own happiness? Huh uh?"
"Alvin, Papa thinks what your mama said has a point. And papa is very familiar with your Oma character. Right now, Oma you are really very serious with her words. If you refuse, we can all suffer. Including you. Have you forgotten what your Oma said yesterday? He will give 60% of his total wealth to social institutions. Are you willing to lose it all? 60% is not a small amount of Alvin.... And sometimes, succumbing to win can be the right decision"
"You are useless parents. Usually just using your own children for your personal interests" Alvin moved from his seat and intended to end a sickening conversation for him.
"Alvii... You're almost in the head of three. It's time for you to think about household affairs" said his papa full of emphasis. Alvin looked at his father grimly not liking his papa to bring up his age.
"I'm 29 years old. And I'm still young. You shouldn't force me to get married. Especially with a woman of origin."
"At least please think about the matter of your family treasure that could be lost in an instant. Don't make a small mistake, you'll regret it forever... It's time for you to serve your parents Alvin." added his mother who increasingly upset Alvin.
"You guys.... " Alvin was getting furious feeling cornered. His hands clenched and he died at the dining table.
Hadinata and wife just looked at each other and shook their heads. They also feel guilty about what is going on. But they also cannot refuse. Luxury and the life of wealth that they have lived all this time makes them unwilling if they have to lose abundant property that will make their lives suffer only because of a small problem like this.
Unfortunately their views are different from those of Alvin who feels as a victim of their greed. If you have to be honest, either Alvin or his parents will not be willing if you have to lose the amount of property that does not play. But marrying a stranger is not the right solution, right?

Nanda has arrived at the magnificent Oma Ana residence like a palace. Previously he was picked up by a special bodyguard sent Oma Ana to his house. Nanda doesn't have a beautiful dress. Don't dress, just a decent dress she doesn't have. Nanda did not have such clothes because she rarely traveled to large party parties that require her to wear a beautiful dress or dress.
Nanda's appearance that afternoon was very simple in the eyes of the Hadinata family. A collared blouse suit and blue jeans with a sling bag make Nanda look like an SMU kid going to the movies.
Nanda walked slowly into the main door of Oma Ana leading to the dining room. There was already a gathering of the nuclear family members who were already waiting for him. With a shy step Nanda approached the dining table and greeted politely.
"Oh, you've come. Come here, let me introduce you to my family." Nanda obeyed the order, walking up to Oma Ana's seat.
"You guys, listen. This is Nanda. The woman I told you about last night. Nanda, he is Hadinata and his wife, son and son-in-law. And he, is Alvin. My only granddaughter, your future husband" Nanda gulped and clenched her teeth as her eyes rubbed with Alvin's sharp eyes. His fierce gaze made Nanda's heart seem almost out of place. Alvin's sharp and cynical gaze instantly collapsed the power within Nanda. And wait... It seems Nanda recognized that face a little...
"It seems we've met... Isn't that Miss Nanda?" alvin said he guessed nebak while remembering. Nanda's heart degub beats faster than usual and his brain immediately transfers the stimulus memory that makes him remember the accidental meeting with the man who is now in front of him. Yups, annoying meeting on getting out of the elevator. Alvin brazenly rammed himself and scolded him as he had already apologized.
"So you know each other?" oma Ana's question made Nanda reflex to immediately refute her. With a slight tremble, Nanda ventured to answer.
"Emmm... We don't know each other yet, Oma. Only met once and unintentionally" Alvin singled out a cynical smile with an impulsive answer from Nanda.
Oma Ana raises her face and tells Nanda to sit on the empty chair next to Alvin. Nanda nodded and sat himself down next to Alvin, a rude and annoying man to him.
"Let's eat" said Oma Ana. Everyone starts to eat and enjoy it. The housekeeper began pouring empty glass cups with water. Nanda felt very awkward being in the middle of the family. The cold gaze of his mother Alvin made his cold sweat begin to wet his temples.
No sound came out during lunch. Either because it has become a rule in this house or there are other things that make them reluctant to talk while eating.
Nanda turned the view to Alvin. With awkwardness and embarrassment, he caught a glimpse of Alvin's face up close. Alvin's face looks handsome even from the side. His white skin and sharp nose add perfect value to a man. But unfortunately, his good looks are not supported by the wisdom of his attitude. The first impression you get is a rude and arrogant impression that sucks.
"Ga ever seen a handsome guy? Until the ga blink of an eye" said Alvin Lirih who managed to make Nanda stunned and giggled with the attitude of Alvin who managed to corner him. Nanda thinned her lips to cover her nervousness.
"That's a real GR guy, I swear. It sucks!!" he swore in his heart.
The lunch is over. Hadinata said goodbye to her mother to return to the office. Likewise with his wife, he also said goodbye to return to the hotel. Oma Ana simply nodded and let her son and daughter-in-law go. The most important thing for him right now is Alvin and Nanda. Because they are the main point.
"Alvin, please take Nanda back to her house" Oma Ana said in a note of emphasis. Alvin just grunted in objection to his omana orders.
With a sense of force, Alvin is willing to drive Nanda home with his car. Nanda hurried to say goodbye. It's uncomfortable to stay there for a long time. Although Oma Ana's house is very large, it feels lonely and stiff.
"Oma, Nanda said yes. Thank you for lunch" Oma Ana nodded with a smile. Nanda's friendly attitude was able to make Oma Ana gentle to him.
"Alvin, take Nanda to her house. Remember, to the front of his house!!" for Alvin, the unequivocal voice of Oma Ana who rules him is very annoying. As if to ask for something in vain.
"All right." she answered quickly and got straight into her car. Nanda waves to Oma Ana and follows Alvin into her car.
Alvin drove his car out of the house at a fast pace. No conversation in the car. Nanda also chose to be quiet.
About two kilometers away from Alvin's car home, Alvin suddenly stopped his car casually. Nanda, who was looking outwards, had to turn his gaze toward Alvin.
"Get out!" alvin's flat voice sounded relaxed but very piercing. Nanda just gaped not understanding.
"Huh?" Alvin stared intently at Nanda's eyes without the slightest smile on his face.
"I said EXIT!! My time is too precious to take you home" Nanda took a deep breath and nodded her head. He realized his position is not who he is.
Nanda got out of Alvin's car and stood by the side of the road. Quickly, Alvin drives off his car leaving himself still glued to himself on a deserted road.
