Marrying the Father of My Foster Son
A Deal

"Tante Ayu who's here? Imran and Leon, where are you going?" Ghani dizzy looking for the whereabouts of his best friend and papa. However, the tail of his eyes did not find the presence of the two men around his apartment unit.

"Auntie came here alone. His father Leon was suddenly asked to be a source at a seminar held by the campus, while Leon was still in the hospital. He said there was a major operation that made him come home late" Ms Ayu replied.

"Tante came here on purpose because he wanted to meet you and Queensha. Can auntie come in now?"

The question of Ayu's mother suddenly resuscitated Ghani who had been blank for a while. So surprised, he forgot to let the guest into the house.

"Sorry, Auntie, I forgot. Please sign. My wife is inside. She was accompanying Rora to study." Ghani turned his body to the side slightly to let the mother of his best friend into the apartment unit.

After Ayu's mother entered, Ghani showed her the way to the living room. A room used by the owner of the apartment to entertain his guests. Apparently, the room not only serves as a place to entertain its guests, but also serves as a family room.

"Ghani, aunt apologize if it interferes with your rest. Aunty was forced to meet you directly because the thing to be conveyed was quite serious. It can be talked about via phone, but aunty feels meeting while meeting face to face like this is more affdol."

"No problem, Tan. I happen to be just watching a movie. Oh yeah, he said there was also a need with Queensha. That's it, I'll call her in Rora's room first." Then Ghani walked into the hallway that would take him to a room with the front door containing a hanger bearing the name Princess Aurora. If in Indonesian it means "Princess Aurora".

Queensha reflexively turned her head when she heard a knock on the door, followed by Ghani's appearance on the doorstep. Her tears showed seriousness, making her ask what caused her husband to look so serious than before.

"Why are you, Mas? Were you asked by the hospital to go back there because there was an emergency case that only you could handle?" Queensha suspects this has something to do with Ghani's work at the hospital.

"I'm fine, Sha." Ghani walked over to Queensha and whispered in his wife's ear. "At the front there is Aunt Ayu. He came here deliberately to meet the two of us."

Lips half-open, staring at Ghani in disbelief. "What does he need to do here? How did you meet the two of us, Mas."

Shake both shoulders up. "So, I don't know either. We'd better meet him in the living room. If we just stay here, we don't get any answers."

Ghani bowed her back next to the princess who was focusing on writing at the study table. "Darling, I'll borrow Mama for a second, okay? So, Rora studied first alone until papa finished talking to Mama."

Slowly, Aurora looked up. Then a big smile was created on the little girl's chubby face. "By, Papa. But don't be long because Rora still wants to be alone with Mama."

"good. After papa's done, papa goes back to Rora again."

Queensha smiled amusedly. She thinks that she is an item that is being contested by her beloved husband and children.

"You meet Aunt Ayu first. Talk to him, while I'm gonna make him a drink."

Though disinclined that it was she who should have made the drink for the guest, but given all of Ghani's talk, Queensha was forced to agree with what the man had told her.

"Good night, Aunt Ayu. Sorry to keep you waiting so long" Queensha said as she arrived in the living room. Then he stepped inside and took a seat opposite Ayu's mom.

"Night too, Sha. It's okay, anyway it's also wrong to come here suddenly without telling you first."

After Ghani gathered with them, Ayu maam immediately conveyed the purpose of his arrival there.

"Previously aunt would like to apologize if my arrival here interfered with your rest time. Aunty was forced to come here because there was something important that wanted to be resolved immediately because this matter was very disturbing to my mind."

Bu Ayu looked at Ghani and Queensha alternately. Then the lips opened again and he said, "About Leon. Aunty knows that Leon is currently close to a girl named Lulu."

Queensha was stunned when her best friend's name was called. The fear within the woman slowly surfaced. Afraid that Ayu ma'am would blame him for being presumptuous to introduce someone to the beloved son.

"Tante already knows all the information about the girl. Even my aunt met him. First impressions of meeting him, aunt .. liked him. Lulu's personality is so stunning and aunty feels very suitable with Leon, aunty who is sometimes slengean to often make my high blood rise suddenly."

"Thus ... Aunt Ayu has met Lulu. Where's where?" asked Queensha with her eyes perfectly round. He was very surprised to find that his best friend was face to face with the mother of the man he was about to be betrothed to.

Ayu replied casually, "At her workplace. We talked for quite a while and the aunt was able to draw the conclusion that Lulu is a good woman who is indeed suitable to be my daughter-in-law."

"Then what's the connection between Aunt meeting Lulu and the two of us?" Ghani, who had been silent, spoke. He was as surprised as Queensha, but not as shock as his wife.

Bu Ayu looked back at the newlywed couple in front of him and said, "Because aunt wants to ask for help from you and Queensha to match them both. If only the aunt moves, it will not be maximal. Aunty needs the help of the people closest to Lulu and Leon to bring the two of them together."

Queensha was shocked again and again. Even his heart felt like it was falling down because he was so surprised.

"Near Lulu to Mas Leon. Did I not hear wrong?" Queensha stared in disbelief at the middle-aged woman before her.

Nodding fast. "Yes, bring them both closer together. Use all sorts of ways to make Leon and Lulu's relationship stickier. Aunty believes 100% that you can do it."

"How can you, right, help aunty?" Bu Ayu looked expectantly at the two figures in front of him.

Queensha scratched her head that did not itch. "If you try, you can. However, does Mas Leon not mind if we continue to push him closer to Lulu? I'm afraid Mas Leon will get angry if we interfere too much with his charm."

"Will not mind at all. In fact, Leon must have said a lot of thanks to you both."

Bu Ayu smiled to herself when she imagined the face of Leon who looked more cheerful since she met Lulu. His premonition as a mother said that his youngest son was happy and the source of Leon's happiness came from Aluna Humairah.

"How can Aunty Ayu be so trusting if Leon doesn't mind that my wife and I are pushing him closer to Lulu?" This time it was Ghani's turn to speak.

"Because aunty can see if actually Leon has feelings for Lulu. It's just that he hasn't realized about his feelings yet. She .. was too stupid to realize that she had fallen in love with your best friend's wife."

Ghani. Admitting that Leon is stupid about love. If not stupid then why did he not realize that he had been cheated by his former lover first.

"So, how? What ... Do you want to help auntie? If our mission succeeds, auntie will give you a five-day vacation ticket to South Korea so you can take a selfie at Sono Calm Jeju swimming pool with a background of the sea and sunset similar to in the drama King The Land, that, loh. You can visit various tourist attractions in South Korea for free. Interesting, right?" Bu Ayu raised both eyebrows. It does not matter if you have to spend money on savings and sell jewelry for the future of your favorite child. According to Ms. Ayu, this is a rare opportunity that cannot be repeated a second time in her life.

Silence enveloped the three adults. Ghani and Queensha seemed to be thinking hard, weighing the best decision on Ayu's offer, while Leon's mother was waiting in dismay. Although she was confident that Ghani and Queensha would help her, she was still worried that the bride and groom ahead would reject her offer.

Ghani and Queensha stared at each other, then two pairs of winking eyes followed by a faint nod of the head.

Almost simultaneously Ghani and Queensha replied, "Well, we agree!"

Bu Ayu gave a big smile, satisfied with Ghani and Queensha's reply. "OK, from now on we work together to bring the two of them together. Auntie hope, we can work well together until our efforts pay off. Leon and Lulu follow you to the undercover."
