Grabbing Dreams
Chapter 62 ANDINI'S SECRET PLAN

The morning atmosphere at Reino's parents' house..

Andini and Rahardian were chatting on the front porch of her luxurious home while watching Sesilia play bicycles in the courtyard.

"Pa, I'd like to invite Marta and her niece to dinner in this house. Can you?" ask her husband.

Rahardian frowned. Just this time his wife wanted to invite Marta to the house.

"What's wrong? Usually you guys prefer to meet outside." Reino's father said a little astonished.

"Yes, I'd love to have dinner at home too, pa. Bosen's gathering at the mall again at the mall. Then Marta will come with her nephew as well. Beautiful, pa. Her name is Nina."

"You're going to betroth her to our son, right?" guess Rahardian felt sure.

Andini smiled meaningfully.

"Papa knows. There's no harm, is there, pa? Reino has never looked close to women. She's ripe, it's time to get married, pa."

Reino's father took a deep breath, trying to digest his wife's words.

"Yes too. But you better ask Reino first, ma. Maybe he has another view. Or maybe she already has a boyfriend."

"Ah, where is it possible. All this time Reino has never brought women to introduce us, right? Wanda said so, too, pa. He's never seen Reino walk the same way women."

"Yes, know. But you should ask directly the same concerned." suggested Reino's father wisely.

"Yes, I'll ask Reino, pa. What matters is that papa agrees. I've prepared a plan for Reino to want me to make a match with Nina" Andini said very confidently.

Rahardian just shook his head. He understood the stubbornness of his wife. If he wants something, he will try as hard as possible to make it happen.

"It's up to you, ma." the breakup relented. He doesn't want to argue with Andini about Reino.

"Papa take it easy, soon papa will be able to get a son-in-law." said Andini, standing about to enter the house.

"Where are you going, ma?"

"I'm going to Reino's office, pa."

"You're gonna bother your son to work early in the morning."

"Ah, this papa. Just wanted to meet Reino, I said annoying. Papa please take care of Sesil first. Wanda's gonna pick him up."

Andini breezed in leaving her husband on the porch with Cecilia. He immediately prepared to go to Reino's office.

"Morning, ma'am." said Maya when she saw Andini coming into her room.

"Morning. Is my son inside?"

"Yes, madam. He has a guest." Maya replied politely.

"I'll say hello to him for a minute, please tell him I'm coming."

Maya grabs the phone at her desk and calls Reino.

"I'm sorry, sir, your mother wants to see you" Maya reports, "Alright. I understand."

"Please come in, ma'am." said Maya escorting Andini into Reino's room.

"Hello, honey. I'm sorry if mama bothers you." said Andini to her son's desk. As soon as he saw who was with Reino, he looked surprised.

"Nina's? I never thought I'd see you again, baby."

Nina stood up to greet Andini in a friendly manner.

"August, aunt. Coincidentally my company has a cooperation project with the RR group. We're discussing something."

Andini smiled. He looked towards Reino and Nina in turn.

You guys are a really compatible couple.

"Oh, yes, tumben mama's here? Is there something?" ask Reino astonished.

"Mama wants to take you to lunch. It just so happens that there is Nina here too, all three of us having lunch. Hows it? You want one, Nina?" take Andini to look at Nina expectantly. This was a chance to bring her son closer to Nina.

"I want to, aunt. Maybe Reino's a lot of work." replied Nina turning a glance at the man.

"Come, baby. You rarely have time for your mom. Just for a moment, just lunch." pinta Andini pleaded.

Reino took a deep breath. Although with a heavy heart, he finally agreed to the request of the mother. But he promised in his heart that he would tell his mother everything soon.

"alright. But I can't take long, ma. I have an appointment with a client at 2 o'clock." Reino said looking for an excuse.

"You just calm down. It won't be long, baby. Just have lunch. Mama promised."

Eventually the three of them went to lunch at a restaurant near the office. Andini chatted with Nina at a table in the corner of the room while Reino was away to the restroom. He intends to contact Kanaya.

"Assalamualaikum, mas." said the wife on the other end of the phone.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, baby. Where are you?"

Kanaya who was with her friends was a little away from them.

"I'm still in the office, ma'am. But soon me and my friends will have lunch. Rita today gets sustenance, he said to buy us a meal. Where is it?"

"I'm having lunch, baby. Same with mama."

"Yes, honey. I'll see ya."

Kanaya hangs up the phone and soon joins her friends.

"Come, Nay. It's been a long time."

"Yes, sorry, Rit. I asked for permission from Reino earlier." whispered Kanaya slowly afraid to be heard by others.

"Where are we going to eat?" ask the Goddess as they walk out of the building.

"I want to invite you to eat at the restaurant." exclaimed Rita excitedly.

"Cieee..many money here's the story." chirped Nia girang.

They rushed towards the restaurant near the office, where Reino, Andini and Nina were also having lunch.

In the restaurant...

Reino rejoins her mother and Nina who have ordered food first. Andini deliberately arranged a seat for her son right next to Nina.

As he was about to feed the food into his mouth, Andini's phone rang. He quickly grabbed it.

You're on time, Wanda, inner Andini is happy.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to answer the phone first." Andini said to the two and walked a little away.

After finishing, Andini returns to her desk to meet Reino and Nina.

"I'm sorry, dear mama. Mama has to go. Wanda asked Mama to accompany her to the doctor." Andini told a lie. Actually, it was he who sent the message first, asking Wanda to call him.

"Is Brother Wanda sick?" ask Reino worriedly.

"Ah, no big deal. He just wants to be accompanied to the doctor for routine check-ups." kilah Andini concocted an excuse.

"Let me drive, ma."

"No need, honey. Mama can take a taxi. You guys continue the lunch. Mom goes first. Forgive aunt, Nin. Next time we can go again."

Nina smiled. In his heart he felt happy to finally get a chance alone with Reino.

"Be careful, aunt." Nina's message was greeted with a smile Andini.

After Andini left, Reino sat down again and continued his lunch. Nina glanced at him.

"Oh yeah, Rei, I know you and your wife sometime" said Nina spontaneously made Reino choke on the food she chewed.

"Sorry, Rei, you're okay, right?"

Nina rubbed Reino's back after taking a glass of water for her.

Just then, Kanaya and her comrades arrived at the restaurant. The position of Reino and Nina's seat that turned her back to the door made her invisible to them.

"Let's sit there!" rita exclaimed in command, pointing at a table not far from Reino and Nina's table.

They're sitting there right away. Soon a waiter came and asked for their order. One by one read the menu book proffered by the waiter of the restaurant and started ordering. On the sidelines of their chat, Dewi noticed Reino's presence there.

"Eh, isn't that Mr. Reino, is it?" the Goddess asked half a whisper.

Kanaya and Rita who were looking at the reflex menu book turned their heads in the direction pointed at by the Goddess. And sure enough, they saw Reino there with a woman who was rubbing her back.

Isn't that Nina? kanaya began to burn with emotion.

Instantly there was anger in his little heart. She recalled her husband's words on the phone that he was having lunch with his mother. But the reality he saw now was completely different. He feels lied to.

What does all this mean?! Why are you lying again?!

Unknowingly Kanaya stood up in anger. He rushed out of the restaurant. Before reaching the door, Rita called out to him.

"Kanaya!!" yelled Rita loudly.

The entire restaurant looks. Reino and Nina are no exception. How surprised the man was when he saw Kanaya half-run away from the restaurant.

Reino got up from his chair and soon followed Kanaya out of the restaurant.

"Day! Waitaminute! I can explain everything." exclaimed Reino as soon as he could catch up with his wife on the restaurant page. Reino blocks Kanaya's wrist.

"Please, mom! I don't need to give any explanation." said Kanaya as she continued to try to release Reino's hand with emotion.

"Please calm down, baby. Listen to me."

"Enough mas. I don't like being lied to." Kanaya managed to take off her husband's hand.

"Darling, you misunderstood." interrupted Reino trying to give an explanation.

"Whatever it is. Please go back inside. Don't let that woman wait for you too long." Kanaya was furious. He ran away from Reino and returned to the office. Meanwhile, everyone watched the quarrel from behind the glass of the restaurant, not least Nina and Kanaya's friends. They looked at each other with many questions flashing in their heads.

*Is there something between Kanaya and Mr. Reino? they are compactly entrenched.

Apparently she's your woman, Rei.

(Nina*)
