The Macau Love Story
Part 2 (Decision)

We never know when luck will come our way.

Many people do not realize it, to miss the opportunity just like that. But in some cases, especially in the Casino world, there are some people who are able to capture the opportunity and make them a billionaire in just a matter of minutes.

This is what happened to that man. His entire fortune comes from the gambling he won, that is my speculation towards Pandu at the moment.

They hadn't realized that I was in the kitchen and eavesdropping on the conversation.

"I didn't expect big brother to be able to throw for three hours and fifty minutes non-stop, and without making a seven"

From Clara's words, I can guess that Pandu just won the gamble.

"Unknown, in addition to winning and raking in billions of rupiah, brother is the first pitcher to create a world record in the game of craps"

I don't know what he has, until he can master the dice he threw does not bring up the number seven throughout the game. And I, really would marry a gambler guy like him.

The man simply smiled in response to the words of his cousin's sister.

"How are my wedding preparations?"

"Everything is ready, we're going to do it in secret like big brother's will"

"Good" said the man.

"Lantas, what are you planning to do after marriage?" clara asked, she asked while lighting a cigarette.

She smoked?

I never thought I would live surrounded by people like them.

I sharpened my hearing to hear the man's answer.

"I'm going to ask him to stay with his mother in Hong Kong" he replied, smashing cigarette ash on the coals.

Mommy?, she has a mother?

"Did Risa know that she was getting married?"

Pandu shook his head "Like the whereabouts of the mother I hid from the gambling mafia, she too will I hide her status as my wife. I haven't told mom about this. Anyway" she said she smoked a cigarette, then exhaled her smoke "Mom would've agreed if I married her"

Again I was surprised by his words. For the umpteenth time my head shook as if in disbelief.

As sure as that his mother would agree, if she married me. What's his mother like?

I saw Pandu standing up and walking towards the cupboard where he kept the wine, he grabbed a bottle of drink and a glass.

"They're the women I love" he said pouring the drink into the glass "I can't let it be known by my enemies"

The woman he loved, we just met a few days ago.

In my heart I wondered what he meant. I tried hard to swallow my own saliva. That fast she fell in love with me?, impossible.

I put my hearing even sharper "You take care of the visa for him, I'll visit them twice a week"

"Sister Pandu don't worry, I've taken care of everything" said Clara then walked to the kitchen, where I am currently.

"You?"

Clara's call makes me nervous "What are you doing here?" tanyakanya.

"I just finished cooking, you guys eat, I've prepared at the dinner table"

"You cook?"

I nod my head "What are you cooking?" tanyanya full of search.

"You can see it for yourself there" I said as I pointed my finger at the direction where some of the food menu was served, then grabbed a bowl and chopsticks.

It didn't take long, the two of them were already sitting on the dining chair "What's wrong with you guys?" I asked when the two people just sat staring at me, then switched to staring at the food menu that I had served on the table.

"How can you cook this food?" clara asked intimidatingly, "You're the first time here, right?"

"Eat and don't ask too many questions"

"How can you cook Chinese food?" tanya Pandu repeated Clara's question. It scared me and shook me.

"I used to work at a Chinese restaurant in Jogja, so it's not hard for me to cook food to your taste" I replied with a heart that I made as calm as possible, even though my heart was shaking violently inside.

Inhaling a deep breath, then slashing out slowly, I finally grabbed the bowl and picked up some rice for them when they were just silent.

I have to face people like them. "Let's eat!" I said as I thrust the rice in front of Pandu, then Clara.

I saw them looking at each other, then slowly holding the chopsticks and starting to chop up side dishes and vegetables.

"It's good to taste too" Clara said, "I've lived in Macau for a few years and can't even cook this well"

*******

I held up my double position, then looked at her face which was also looking at me, and at that moment, my chest grew stronger.

This guy is pretty handsome, but also scary.

Shortly after lunch, Clara got a call from someone to go to the hospital immediately, and now, this man is sitting with me in the living room of Clara's apartment.

"Is there something you need?"

I shook my head to respond to her words.

Silent for a moment, there was a lizard sound on the wall sneaking amongst the silence we created.

"Before marriage" he said flatly but very firmly "What else do you want to know?" he continued with a sharp eye drawing my net "Although you deserve to know about me"

I bit the corner of my lips, in my heart I confirmed his words, I really should know all about him and his family, only one I just knew about him, he was a great gambler.

"Is there anything you want to ask?" his tanyanya disperse my daydream.

"Are you really going to marry me?"

"That's what you've been asking, he said without taking his eyes off "I don't like to answer a re-question"

"My heart is not steady, and my brain is completely denying this marriage, but what can I do"

"So?" he asked me.

But I can only be silent.

"Nayla" call her. I slowly lifted my chin, looking at him with my lips still mute.

"I really want to be a good man for you" I saw his eyes shining with earnestness "I want to protect you" he said again making my heart gasp, my mouth tightly closed, and my face heat up.

I was really confused, the guy who just knew me, he really wanted to marry me, and wanted to protect me.

Honestly I still could not believe hearing his words, but there was a strange feeling I suddenly felt, which I was obviously stunned and there was a peaceful sensation of slipping away at the recesses of my heart.

"I want to know about your family"

"I used to live in Jogja" he said casually, "My mother and I moved here shortly after my father betrayed him" he kept silent for a moment with a focus on staring at the table.

"My mom's almost crazy because my dad remarried a rich woman"

So he used to live in Jogja, just like me?

"Because I don't have anyone in Jogja, so I went here to live with my aunt, Clara's mother" he said.

"And you play gambling until you can succeed like this?" tanyaku later.

Call it not as well as ignite my meddling.

"At first I just wanted to play once, but after I won the first try, I always wanted to do it again and again"

"So you said your mother was almost crazy, so how is she now?" ask me with a look of pity. I really feel sorry for her, even though my life is more bitter than her, still, I have a very sensitive heart towards things related to feelings.

"Later after marriage, you will know how my mother's condition" he said that makes me more curious.

"Given your father, do you also intend to leave me after we have children?"

"I know very well how left by a father. I'm the victim, and my mother, until now, still thinks about it, so I won't repeat my father's mistake"

"What can I hold you?" many doubt.

"Of course"

I looked at her face deeply, I went through her net and I found that there was seriousness in her eyes "Well, I'm willing to marry you"
