The Contract Husband I Love
8. Meeting Parents

The time has shown at 19:00 WIB. Without feeling the day has changed, the sun no longer shines and the moon has replaced its position.

The schedule of meeting with his father at exactly 20:00 AM local time, there is still sixty minutes left for Niken to prepare everything. To avoid negative things, Niken also brought Ardi to his apartment. There Ardi will be safer than having to rent a hotel room. The risk is so high for now.

Niken is still preparing in his room, while Ardi is pacing back and forth in the middle room. He could not sit quietly as he just kept thinking about his meeting later.

"Relax Ardi. Arrange your breath. Pull it tight, then blow it. Pull your breath out loud, then exhale."

Ardi also regulated his breathing repeatedly, but his heart was still not calm. Meanwhile, Niken is still busy dressing up in her room. She has to decorate herself as beautiful and as good as possible because tonight will be an important meeting. So he has to show his best and special performance.

The black evening dress was chosen by Niken to attend her meeting with her parents. Black dress that is only a foot long, deliberately chosen because it matches the suit that Ardi wears today. It's just that there are accents of some gems in her dress, while in Ardi's suit there are no gems.

"Is this appropriate?" look, at the mirror reflection. "Bismillah. Hope everything goes well. Amen ..." He prayed first that his meeting would be made easier.

Although it is beautiful, but Niken still polishes the powder and so on the cheeks and also the eyelashes. After it is felt to be enough, then Niken began to move from there. He circled in front of the mirror, to check his appearance is it appropriate or not? After that she grabbed the perfume bottle, then sprayed the perfume all over her body.

Perfume that he bought especially and produced directly in America, has a aroma that is not too concentrated. However, the aroma is long lasting in the body. So Niken only need to wear it once so that the aroma is not too striking.

Niken finally came out of the room, showing himself in front of Ardi who was still pacing around like an iron there.

"Come, we're going!" invite her without a doubt, with a face that blushes in shame and lips that are slightly played.

***

The two went to a five-star hotel located in Senayan. As promised, Ardi and Niken arrived there ten minutes before 20:00. If it were not for the traffic, they might have arrived earlier.

Ardi and Niken walk hand in hand, smelling romance like lovers who are drunk with romance.

Niken was pampered in Ardi's burly arms. Although never sports in the game, but he has a muscular stock. These muscles Ardi got from his job as a construction coolie. He often carries a load of over twenty kilograms, every day. This is what makes the muscles naturally created.

The people in the hotel looked at the two people. Coupled with the two Bodyguards escorting behind, increasingly stole their attention.

"Why is everyone looking in our direction?" whispered Ardi, without turning his eyes, and tightened his teeth because he felt uncomfortable being the subject of people's attention.

"This is what is called fame. You have to get used to it because every day you're going to be everyone's attention and not just this time, but every day. Understood?" reply Niken whispered and kept smiling sweetly to the audience.

Niken herself doesn't care what they think now? He just wanted to quickly meet his father and mother. Wearing a long and slightly tight dress made Niken uncomfortable. In her daily life, Niken rarely wears dresses. She more often pants a bit loose and so are her clothes.

"But, I feel uncomfortable" continued Ardi who tightened his grip on Niken.

Ayu girl, who tonight is styled like the Queen, can understand the fear that is plaguing Ardi's heart now.

If this is the case, how else? He had to speed up his pace so as not to further attract the attention of the visitors there.

Ardi also followed the rhythm of Niken's steps. He can compensate because this is what he wanted.

With an accelerated pace, it increasingly made people pay attention to both. Because the behavior of the two is different. Outfits are neat and luxurious, but the way they walk does not reflect an elegant demeanor at all.

Even so, Ardi tried not to care about it. Finally we arrived in front of the elevator.

"We don't have to see your mom and dad, yeah. I was nervous and scared" Ardi said, holding Niken back from entering the elevator. "Couldn't have her meeting backtracked. Maybe tomorrow or the day after, at least wait for me to be ready to meet them. Now I'm really not ready to meet your mom and dad," Ardi's pinta whined a little.

His hand continues to be held, so it is difficult for Niken to make a decision like this. Free also he gave advice, if finally Ardi will reject it as well.

Niken can understand the fear that is whacking her future husband because in fact she also felt afraid. Afraid that her father won't accept Ardi.

Niken thought, looking for a way for Ardi to be willing to meet his mother and father. "What if I give you an offer that might make you more excited?" smile with a victory smile.

Ardi let go of Niken's hand, stood up straight and looked at her fixedly.

"What offer is that?"

***

After being persuaded in various ways, Ardi finally wanted to also meet Bambang and Mita who had been waiting for the two on the twentieth floor.

"Niken is really sorry for making father and mother wait" he said sincerely.

Ardi confused how to? She wants to say hello, but she forgets the name of Niken's mother and father.

The atmosphere of the meeting became awkward between them. Mita took the initiative. "Subhanallah. Is this your future daughter-in-law? Very handsome indeed, you dear," he praised without making up.

"By the way, what's your name, honey?" tanyanya, who is getting closer to Ardi. It was even so attached to the young man who was about to become the husband of that one and only daughter.

Ardi smiled awkwardly, "My name is Muhammad Ardi Bagaskara. Aunty can just call me Ardi."

Her lips are so heavy when mentioning her real name, especially the last name which is actually just as a decorator.

Niken breathed a sigh of relief when Ardi mentioned the name as agreed. There was anxiety when Mita immediately asked Ardi's full name. However, one obstacle has been overcome. There are still some obstacles to halal.

"Sit their dong. Don't just stand up" said Bambang, furious when Mita did not invite Niken and Ardi to sit.

Mita patted her forehead and chuckled amusedly, "I'm sorry dear Mama. Mama forgot to take you guys to sit down because Ardi's charm makes Mama's world seem to stop, baby."

Mita's affectionate words show for Niken. Indirectly the sentence that Mita said earlier became a green light for Niken to advance towards the guarantee.

"Thank you, Ma," Niken replied shyly, when her cheek was touched by her beloved mother.

"Come on! Come on, let's sit down. Surely your father can not wait to get acquainted with his daughter-in-law," said Mita enthusiastically, while glancing at Bambang who sat alone there, as well as showing that he had agreed Niken married Ardi.

In fact, the charm of Ardi is able to make Mita immediately fall in love. Not as a lover, but a daughter-in-law chosen by the heart. It didn't take long for him to get to know Ardi. Mita feels right with Ardi.

Ardi also followed the steps of Niken and Mita. He must prepare mentally to meet Bambang Adi Atmaja, who is notoriously firm and stubborn.

Bambang has been waiting for the arrival of Niken and Ardi since then, even until the coffee ordered has been exhausted.

Niken pinched Ardi's waist, "Enhanced." He whispered without moving his lips. So that his voice is not too clear, but Ardi can understand it. He nodded, glancing at Niken who was walking by his right side. Mita is on the left side.
