I'm Betrothed And Adjoined
chapter 23 sees Gendis at the mall

Danar was already in the office and just got straight to work.

It looks like Mr. Haryo who is also in-laws entered his room.

"Sorry son Danar, I have something to say"

"What's up, huh?" danar asked, inviting his father-in-law to sit down.

"Regarding the project that is being worked on in area B is son, it seems to be experiencing obstacles. many residents protested. There could be provocateurs masterminding the citizens"

"It's not all settled, the people have already dealt and agreed, and the payment has been completed.what else do they get?" danar was surprised.

"They protested against some of the land that he said was still not paid"

"How come? the company pays for the land that has been contracted, right, if not how can they sue?" ask Danar grumpily.

"Citizens are inedible by new investors, who promise bigger payouts"

"Can they give us back our money if they choose to sell to other investors? And why they're so impatient, we just haven't signed a contract on that land, doesn't mean we don't buy it"

"Now I ask our father and company lawyer, take care of this problem, pressure them by saying the company is asking for compensation if they still intend to find other investors. Because we cannot develop a business there if the land is divided with other developers who are not one field with us" explained Danar later and asked his father-in-law to take care of this problem.

"Well, Danar, I will immediately solve this problem, excuse me son" said Mr. Haryo saying goodbye then walked away from Danar's office.

Danar threw his butt in his chair, suddenly his brain became hot, this morning got very unpleasant news.

Danar checked several incoming emails as well as the problematic project.

Hoping that Gendis' father would be able to finish it without her having to intervene, Danar believed in Gendis' father's prowess in terms of lobbying.

Until lunchtime Danar still had no word from his father-in-law about their troubled project.

His phone rang, Danar quickly picked it up from his desk, his father-in-law's name on the screen.

"Good day, son Danar" Mr. Haryo's voice was heard from a phone call.

"Good day, how did it go! Did it work?" danar asked impatiently.

"So there was a negotiation, son, and we explained about the land, and they agreed to continue to give land to us" explained his father-in-law.

"Thank God, yeah,,"

"Yes son, it turns out there is one citizen who provokes other citizens, but everything is sorted, the guidance has been found and investors who want to tackle us have retreated regularly"

"Good father," said Danar satisfied with his father-in-law's performance.

"Don't forget dad's lunch, it's lunch time"

"Yes son, now I've been in the restaurant having lunch with my father's lawyer"

"Oh yes please continue, and thank you for your cooperation" Danar said later, hanging up the phone.

Danar felt relieved and calm now, did not have to linger long to take care of the problem earlier, father Gendis was able to solve it in a short time. Danar was very proud of his father-in-law.

Danar gets out of his office and picks up Lalita at his house. He had promised Lalita to take him to lunch at the mall.

Danar was already in front of Lalita's house, an ordinary housing estate, Lalita lived there with her mother and two sisters. His father and mother had been divorced since Lalita was in Junior High School, and his two younger siblings were small at that time. Then Lalita became the backbone for her family.

"Dear, baby, it's here" asked Lalita when she got out of her house.

"Yes, yuk is leaving" Danar asked.

"Okay," Lalita replied as she got into the car as the door was opened by Danar.

Both are already on a crowded road, to get to the destination mall they need a decent time, coupled with a crowded and quite jammed streets.

And almost half an hour they struggled with traffic jams on the road finally arrived at the destination mall.

Danar parked the car then both got down and into the mall area.

"What do you want to eat, baby?" ask Danar while holding Lalita's hand.

"Why would I eat steak, baby?" answer spoiled Lalita.

"By my dear," said Danar then they took the elevator to the restaurant that provides steak and also indeed a place to eat their subscription both.

When Danar and Lalita arrived looking for a seat that was a little over the edge and not too crowded visitors.The waiter came to bring the menu and recorded their orders both.

The waiter left after Danar and Lalita finished ordering the food.

"Sayanggg, there are those who want me to talk to you" Lalita opened the chat with her typical spoiled style and sedu dayu, but somehow Danar just likes to see Lalita's attitude.

"Yes, what are you talking about?" ask Danar gently.

"Emmm,, yesterday I had a look at the house, in the elite housing it's a pity, it seems I'm interested" Lalita said then told the intention of the chat.

Danar frowned, confused by the meaning of Lalita's words.

"Yes,,,"

"Terusss, do you have any savings? Or is your savings enough?" ask Danar.

"Lohhh,,,"Lalita was surprised to hear Danar's question.

"Why?" ask Danar later.

"Dear is insensitive?"

"meaning?" danar asked, confused.

"Darling to buy me a house there?" finally Lalita bluntly.

"Ohhh,," Danar began to understand the direction of Lalita's conversation, not insensitive but Danar wanted to see Lalita's reaction if she was ordinary, not so responsive.

"Honey has savings is sure, every month the money I transfer is more than enough for the needs of love and also dear family, surely can be dear to save" explained Danar.

"Dear count that count?" ask Lalita began to look unhappy with Danar's explanation.

"Not so dear, dear times assume I count while I always meet the needs of dear"

"If the matter of the house we can still think about later, then I want to let me just buy later, for us to live if we get married, so it's a pity not to bother thinking about buying a house now" danar again.

"I also want to love having a better house than the current one, I want to live with my mother and sister"

"Isn't the house now habitable?"

"Yes, but it's outdated"

"The house I want is nice baby, the model is modern, and luxurious"

"Yes, but what a pity to have enough savings to buy the house?"

"I don't have any savings, baby"

"Why buy a house and buy a house like that?" ask Danar.

"And I have a rich boyfriend, when buying a house for his girlfriend just use a thought" said Lalita.

"Honey, we still have to think about other things besides buying a house"

"I'm not stingy or calculating with a boyfriend, but as long as you're still a girlfriend doesn't mean I have to issue or comply with all your requests"

"I deliberately didn't buy you a car, because I gave you more than enough money. So I think you can definitely save, and surely your savings money has been a lot, to buy a car can be"

"Well, baby can't save? While the money I give is also different, money needs home, money needs dear, money for the needs of my dear sister, I fulfill right? " Danar begins to discuss Lalita's finances.

"Sayangg, not me to bring up but I mean it's a pity to realize that I give what dearly asks also not to be scattered"

"Sayangg,, really you're changing. Now you're discussing my financial problems, and the money you've given me, what if I'm your wife, how is that?" lalita then accused Danar.

Danar smile.

"Even if you were my wife, I would be more royal, I would not ask back what I have given because it is my responsibility, it is my duty to support my wife"

"But baby, as long as you're still my girlfriend, I have the right to ask you where the money I've been giving you? Let me also believe more and more that you are using it on something important, and if so I am also more sure you deserve to be my wife" explained Danar again. Lalita's face was getting nervous.

"Having a rich girlfriend does not mean having to be used dear, I'm happy to be able to give you, buy you luxury goods, give you money, but I mean do not take advantage of pity, still have to be able to save, keep saving,it's just that I'm happy that you can manage the money to open a business" explained Danar again in a soft tone hoping Lalita would like to hear it.

Lalita's face pouted her hands just playing the food that had come from earlier.

While enjoying the food, Lalita tells Danar that there is a Gendis in this place as well. Danar circulated the gaze in the direction Lalita pointed. And it's true that Gendis is sitting here as well but alone.

"Don't he follow us?" lalita said prejudiced.

"No, this morning he gave me permission to go to the mall this afternoon" explained Danar.

"Hemmm, should you have the same permission, husband?" lalita satirized with a face holding back in annoyance.

"It doesn't have to start"

"I want to go to him" murmured Lalita.

"What do you do?, don't try to get into trouble, he doesn't bother you, just look at us not" Danar reminded Lalita.

"Just look at her face, it's so pretty snatching people's girlfriends"

"You're wrong baby, he didn't snatch people's girlfriends"

"Don't defend him, baby, he took you from me, right?"

Danar smiled feeling weird and funny with the words Lalita said. Isn't he the one who actually became the actor?

And Gendis did not take him from Lalita, it was Danar who asked Gendis to be his wife.
