Gibran also sat with a sour face, so he would introduce Lea by saying, "Girlfriend candidate." eh even his sentence was cut by Lea.

"You're schoolmates Icha and Aslan."

"Yes aunty."

"Why did it come to Gibran."

"Oh that..."

"We are called Icha ma." - timpal Gibran.

Lea said, "And since then Lea and Gibran's brother have been friends."

"Friends, don't think boyfriend." said Mario.

"Not brother, we're really cement." Lea made it clear, he did not want to happen misunderstanding because what he liked was Aslan.

Lea stole a glance towards Aslan, the guy looked even more handsome with a white shirt.

Since everything was gathered, Mama Dina called the waiter and ordered, before long all their orders had come, one more addition, there was a birthday cake in the middle of the table, and they had a birthday cake, although Icha and Aslan's birthday is past, they insist on celebrating.

"Everything, I'm asking for a minute's attention." mama Dina stood up trying to attract the attention of the restaurant's visitors, and it worked, because all eyes were on their table, "We're here to celebrate my son's second birthday, Aslan and Icha." mama Dina points to Aslan and Icha taking turns, "And I ask very much of everything, to sing a happy birthday song to my two children."

"Dear, before blowing the candle make a wish first."

"Treatment again, bored." sizzled Icha in the heart, but she closed her eyes even though she did not pray in the heart.

And together, he and Aslan blew out the candle, again there was a sound of applause.

"They love Icha very much" Lea said gratefully looking at how Aslan's family treated Icha.

"Well, we should eat before mom and dad give a real surprise for you both" said Mama Dina.

"As a surprise, Icha likes surprises." said Icha enthusiastically.

They start eating dinner while chatting about things, and as soon as the dinner ends, Icha charges for Mama Dina's promise, she actually expects a very surprising gift.

"Ma, what a surprise."

"Oh, you're already impatient baby, pa, papa ya say." mama Dina asked her husband.

"Ekhemm." papa Ridho cleared his throat before speaking, "Icha, you know mama and papa sahabatan with the late mama and your papa."

Icha nodded, "Before your papa dies, your papa once told us, asking us to take care of you, and you know Icha, if we love you and think of you as our own son."

Icha nodded again, the affection of papa Ridho and mama Dina need not be doubted, "And one more thing, we promised when Dina and Aurel were pregnant with you." meaning Icha and Aslan, "If the child is born a girl and a boy, then we promise to set him up."

No need for further explanation, everything in the table including Icha and Aslan knew the direction of the conversation, but he still asked the question to clarify, "I mean papa, Icha and Aslan are set up that way."

Papa Ridho nodded along with a smile.

Lea dropped her fork so surprised to hear this news, when all eyes were on her, she hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I just, just didn't expect Icha and Aslan to be betrothed." lea's voice faltered, her heart ached, her best friend and loved ones were betrothed, she felt nauseous, the food she swallowed wanted her to taste like it was spewing.

"Ma, mama is not serious, mama and papa are just duplicating" said Aslan so can overcome his sense of surprise.

"Seriously donk dear, let's keep this one of our ways to keep Icha as per his papa's mandate." replied papa Ridho.

"But there's no need to be betrothed to pa, we're young, we're still in school, we want to achieve our dreams."

"Emang lo have a dream." - Cloteh Gibran who does not know the situation and the place to joke.

Icha glared, making Gibran curl his lips tightly.

"But we, we are friends, where we can be told, we grow up together, we are like brothers."

"It is precisely because of that, you already know each other inside out, so when you have become husband and wife, it will not be awkward anymore." Mario commented for the first time, he was very supportive if Aslan and Icha were betrothed.

Icha kicked Aslan's leg from under the table, as the code asked him to speak so that the arranged marriage that had been planned by their parents was canceled. But at this moment, Aslan seemed to be speechless, he was shocked by this news.

"You don't have to worry, we don't get you married right away, at least first fiancee after you graduate, Aslan will also have to work to support you and your children later."

Icha really-ener never thought that would be betrothed like this, the matchmaking that often occurs online dinovel-novel often read by Lea, Icha rolled her eyes at Aslan, Icha, looking at that flat and cold face carefully, he used to always say that Aslan was the last man he would marry if there was no stock of men in the world, not because Icha thinks Aslan is ugly, Icha admits that Aslan is handsome, Icha always thinks that Aslan is suitable to be his best friend not his life friend.
