Love, take my side
Chapter 125

"Hopefully this is a good start" Anna muttered. The woman was standing in front of Grandma Rieta's bedroom door. As Rendra said. Anna is ready to fight for the sincere blessing of her future mother-in-law. Anna thinks it's time she had to change her thinking patterns in her life. Rendra loved herself. Anna thought she would repay the man as much as she could.

Anna is standing at the door of Rieta's grandmother's room. Prepare yourself first before talking to Grandma Rieta. Anna moved her hand, knocking on the door of the room while sharpening her hearing.

"Grandma," call Anna. He also called the old woman as a grandmother because she did not believe in calling Rieta's grandmother as mother. He is not yet a part of a big family. He did not want to be considered too confident if he immediately called Rieta's grandmother by the name of mother.

"Lake in."

Anna opened the door slowly along with Rieta's grandmother who was staring at the door. But when he saw Anna who appeared in front of the door Grandma Rieta immediately pulled a blanket about to envelop his body. Rieta's grandmother still showed dislike towards Anna.

"Grandma, can I come in?" ask Anna.

"Come in."

Anna stepped her foot into the room in a condolence as Rieta's grandmother told herself to enter in in a cold manner. Setting foot in the room of the first known and future mother-in-law was not easy for Anna. But Rendra's insistence made Anna do this. Seeing Grandma Rieta get up from the bed and towards the sofa. Anna followed the old woman's steps and sat down after Rieta's grandmother told her to sit down.

"Grandmother, I'm sorry if my attitude is lacking in my grandmother's heart" Anna said, squeezing her finger. She was afraid that grandma was being so hard on her.

"Do you really love my son?" ask Grandma Rieta without confirming Anna's apology. Rieta's grandmother did want Rendra to get married as soon as possible and did not want the marriage to be only temporary but eternal marriage in the world.

"Yes, grandma,"

"Anna. You're all grown up. What does love mean to you" asked Rieta's grandmother again.

Anna did not answer. The woman lowered her head. After failing to live out her first marriage, she actually doubts the meaning of love in general. He said love is the source of happiness. But all he gets is love makes him hurt. If she did, Rendra would be her second husband. It was because he felt comfortable with the man. And that sense of comfort was what she meant in response to Rieta's grandmother's question.

"Yemen is not necessarily love," Rieta's grandmother said as if she could read the reason for Anna's acceptance of her son. Rieta's grandmother said that just because she thought what she was. Which woman is uncomfortable with a guy like Rendra. Financially comfortable and comfortable with Rendra's polite attitude. Rendra is a good man.

Anna lowered her head. Rieta's grandmother had already guessed if her guess was correct.

"I don't forbid your relationship Anna. My son has chosen you compared to a woman much younger than you. That means, Rendra was thinking mature when making his choice to you. If one day that comfort fades in you two. I hope you fight to defend your household" said Rieta's grandmother. There is no point in opposing that relationship. Rendra's age is not the age of a man who just stepped into adulthood as well as the age of Anna. Rieta's grandmother thought that the two humans only needed to struggle, accepting the advantages and disadvantages of each other's partners.

"Yes," replied Anna. Just like his previous thought. Anna will not precede words by deeds. Anna promises in her heart will take good care of her household later.

"You're friends with Salsa, right?" rieta's grandmother asked Anna to be confused but nodded her head.

"Please call him to come to this house right now."

"What's ma for?" asked Rendra who had just appeared in the room. Rendra was about to help Anna get the blessing of Grandma Rieta. But when he got to that room. The topic of conversation has changed. Rendra was also astonished, why Grandma Rieta found out about Salsa and even asked herself to contact the woman.

"Don't ask too many questions. Call now, too," said Rieta's grandmother firmly full of pressure.

Anna and Rendra looked at each other. They have Salsa's contact number. And Rendra can really position herself as a potential husband. He asked Anna to contact the brave girl. Because Rendra doesn't want Anna to misunderstand if she's the one who called Salsa.

Anna showed a protest with a confused face that she purposely showed. But Rieta's grandmother's insistence makes Anna finally contact Salsa. Anna eventually contacted the woman despite her need.

Salsa is heard not to refuse because Anna calls the girl to Rieta's grandmother's house because it is still related to work.

Rieta's grandmother's mood improved after Anna's arrival to her room. Although Anna did not promise her much to make Rendra happy. The old grandmother appreciated Anna's attitude. Rieta's grandmother judged that the attitude shown by Anna was an initial struggle for her relationship with Rendra. Rieta's grandmother does appreciate people who can be directed in a better direction.

Rieta's grandmother, Rendra and Anna rejoin the living room. But the joining of Rieta's grandmother in the living room was already with another purpose. He was waiting for Salsa to arrive. They returned to talk relaxed. Rieta's grandmother repeatedly developed her smile imagining the life of her son and granddaughter full of happiness with a complete family. Next week, Rendra will marry Anna, which means the burden on the old grandmother's mind will be reduced. He asks Danny and imagines his grandson finding a good companion.

Half an hour waiting. Salsa finally arrived at the house. The beautiful and brave girl was forced to cancel an appointment with her best friend who wanted to spend the weekend together.

Salsa was confused when a worker escorted her to the living room. Moreover, seeing Ada Anna in the middle of the big family Rendra made the girl unable to hide the confusion. While Evan and the others were also surprised to see the arrival of the woman. They did not know in advance if Anna contacted the woman to come at the request of Grandma Rieta.

"Grandmother told him to come to this house. Sit Salsa. Your name is Salsa, right?" ask Grandma Rieta. The grandmother immediately became familiar with Salsa. He was happy because Salsa looked so polite.

"True grandma, my name is Salsa" Salsa replied. The girl directly approached Rieta's grandmother and extended her hand. He also bowed his body respectfully to the others.

"Sit here son," Rieta's grandmother said as she shifted her seat. Salsa according. The girl sat next to Rieta's grandmother.

"You're Rendra's secretary, right?" ask Grandma Rieta again. Salsa nodded her head. Since sitting down, Salsa looks misbehaved coupled with the question of Rieta's grandmother who mentioned the name that made her heart broken. He did not dare to look at Rendra who was staring at him.

"Next week. Anna and Rendra are getting married. The show is not too big. I appointed you specifically to help with the wedding preparations together with Danny."

Salsa lowered her head. There was a subtle incision felt in his heart hearing the marriage plans of the man he had been dreaming of. Trying to let mehklas and comfort yourself was not making his heart good just to hear the marriage. Finally he heard the happy news.

"Why should Salsa grandma?" ask Anggita protest. As a fellow woman. We can feel the heartache of Salsa which is very clearly visible. Helping to prepare for the marriage of the man she loved was not easy for Salsa. We can see that in Salsa.

Rendra scratched her head at the unilateral decision Rieta's grandmother had taken. To be honest, Rendra regretted that he had hurt Salsa, who forbade the woman from being too cheap. But to take part in the preparation of her wedding. Rendra disagreed because she knew it would make the woman even more hurt. Rendra could not bear to see the woman getting sadder. He realized that his decision to choose Anna was a tough one for Salsa. Rendra only follows his conscience so Anna is chosen to be his life companion.

"Because Salsa is Rendra's secretary. Salsa must know who Rendra's business relations should be invited. Wasn't Rendra's wedding the one that failed yesterday. Salsa took part in the preparations. Is that really Salsa?" ask Grandma Rieta.

"Good Grandma. I'll do whatever Grandma orders," said Salsa. All eyes looked at the woman including Anna. Salsa nodded her head in a sign that her desperation was not a problem for her. The woman did not want to look weak in front of Rendra.

"All you guys approach. Think of this work as a means for the two of you to get to know each other," said Gunawan quickly connect the words of Grandma Rieta.

All eyes were now staring at Salsa and Danny alternately. Salsa and Danny looked ordinary. Salsa was not wrong. The woman had now acted much calmer than she had since sitting next to Rieta's grandmother.

Heard the story of Salsa and saw Salsa firsthand. Gunawan immediately liked the woman. He hopes Salsa can be his son-in-law.

"Papa, don't say that. Danny didn't marry Nia. But at least we should appreciate Nia during her pregnancy. Danny needs to be close to someone. Let it happen after Nia gives birth" Evan says. He did not like the words Gunawan originally spoke.

Gunawan, Danny and Rendra stared at Evan sharply. Indirectly. Evan had already told of their family matters in front of Salsa.

"Salsas. Whatever the conversation is at the moment. I hope it doesn't leak out" Evan told Salsa aware of the sharp gazes of the three men.

"Good Sir. No need to worry," replied Salsa. Without explaining the woman was able to draw conclusions from Evan's words.

Danny looked at Salsa. Look at the woman carefully.

"I think now you can start doing what I said. Next week is just a matter of fingers" Rieta's grandmother told Salsa and Danny.

"Come on, Salsa," take Danny and stand up. Everyone stared at Danny who was immediately familiar with Salsa. Rieta's grandmother touches Salsa's hand so she follows Danny into a different room.

Danny and Salsa are busy in Rendra's workspace. The two humans worked well together as if they had known each other for a long time. Salsa doesn't look awkward. He is very focused on his work.

"Three hundred people invited the pack in total" Salsa said, pointing to Danny's laptop screen. He had already written the name of the name that Rendra wanted to invite in the wedding.

"Added an invitation from the family of the groom-to-be a hundred people. From Anna's mother's side, it can not be ascertained" said Danny showed a paper that already contains the name of the person who wants to be invited.

"About the invitation from the lady. I'll ask Anna's mother, sir." said Salsa, typing the name written on the paper onto the laptop screen. Danny gave his thumbs up a sign agreeing with Salsa's words. So that the work is quickly completed. Danny took the initiative to read the name of the name and Salsa typed it.

"Kira Kira what gift do you give to Rendra and Anna's mother?" ask Danny. We spent almost an hour in that room. Danny and Salsa work joking around. They were not awkward even though they had just met.

"Take a guess sir. Guess what I gave them?"

"Where do I know what kind of gift you will give. Usually, the broken hearted woman will not give gifts. A gift of terror."

"Wrong Sir. I'll just give you a gift that will support their first night smoothly."

"What's that gift?"

"Balchem. I gave them balm so that Mr. Rendra's gout doesn't recur at night so that their first night is smooth without gout."

Danny couldn't help but laugh. The man laughed out loud. And Salsa too. Imagining Rendra smelling balm on the first night made Salsa laugh.

"A very nice gift Salsa. Very fitting gift because om Rendra is tired one day," said Danny after tired of laughing.

"If Mr. Danny. What gift do you want?.

"Consecret. It's definitely not the balm because you gave it away" Danny said with a laugh.

"It's not fair ah. Sir Danny called me. I told you. It's her turn, play secret secrets."

Danny smiled. He immediately mentioned a name and Salsa typed it.

"O yes Sir. Nia is not on the list. Was she invited or not?" ask Salsa. He only wrote the name of the relationship and the company officials as invited guests. And after researching the invited guests recorded by Danny. Nia's name wasn't there.

"Don't know, we'll ask who has the party" replied Danny flatly. Her cheerful face changed after hearing Nia's name.

Salsa and Danny returned to the living room with a few sheets of paper bearing the name of the invited guest.

"Om Rendra, Anna's mother. Did Nia get invited to your wedding" Danny asked the bride. Anna and Rendra looked at each other.

"no need. Let's just find safety" replied Gunawan. Rendra and Anna have not answered but Gunawan is already prejudiced against Nia. Gunawan's words seemed to be if inviting Nia would be a threat to them.

"According to Grandma there is no need either. We want to party and be happy. Don't invite those that can later make something unwanted happen."

Just like Gunawan. Grandma Rieta is already prejudiced.

"I think so too, pa. Nia doesn't need to be invited. Isn't it mas?" anggita. She wanted her husband to agree. It's not that Anggita doesn't want her best friend to come to Rendra and Anna's wedding. But Anggita doesn't want to see Nia get hurt later just seeing Danny. In addition, Anggita can still see the hatred in Gunawan and Grandma Rieta if she hears the name Nia. Anggita is afraid if Nia is invited and present at the wedding. Grandma Rieta and Gunawan showed the hatred directly to Nia.

"I think so, too, pa" said Evan.

My good readers. Who asked about Nia's story, it will definitely be written.

This chapter will relate to the next chapter related to Nia.
