My babysitter Maduku
Chapter 105

"Please sit down, Arini."

Hendra pulled out a chair and invited Arini to sit there. After Arini sat down, he soon followed. Sit right opposite the woman.

"What do you think of this place?" asked Hendra to Arini who was still amazed staring around the room.

"Of course it's cool, Mom. But, what I think is how much budget you spend just to be able to sit here and enjoy the dishes" said Arini, rounding his eyes.

"I told you it's okay. Relax, we don't go every day anyway, do we go to this place?" reply Hendra while chuckling softly.

"You know, every day Mas Hendra brings me here, Mas will definitely go bankrupt."

Hendra again chuckled and not long after a waitress came to their table while carrying food that had been ordered by Hendra before. After finishing arranging all the dishes, the Waitress immediately left.

"Let's eat and don't hesitate to tell me if you want to add," Hendra teased Arini.

"I think twice about eating here, Mas" Arini said, whispering.

Again Hendra only laughed softly at Arini's words.

Hendra and Arini begin their meal with wisdom. There was no talk when they enjoyed the meal. Only occasionally did Hendra glance at Arini with a sweet smile. After a few minutes, their dishes were left out.

"Well, thank you very much, Mas Hendra. Don't be deterred to take me to a place like this again, yeah!" Arini laughed softly.

"Of course, Arini. There will never be a deterrent word if it is with you," replied Hendra with a smile looking fixedly at the beautiful looking Arini while laughing without such burden.

Arini has changed a lot. If in the past the woman always looked moody and more silent, different from the current one. He looked even more cheerful and his sweet smile kept floating on his face.

"Oh, yes! I haven't answered my question yet. It's my birthday, huh?" ask Arini curiously.

Hendra shook his head slowly. "No. But ...."

Hendra smiled then grabbed something from inside his pants pocket. A small red box with a gold-colored list appears on the sides. The man showed the box to Arini while smiling sweetly.

Arini looked confused. He continued to pay attention to the red box and occasionally glanced at Hendra, still with his confused face.

Hendra opened the box and now there was a 24-carat gold ring weighing 10 grams with a jewel in the middle. The gem seemed to sparkle when it was exposed to the light of the lamp in the room. Looks beautiful and stunning make anyone stunned to see it.

"Will you marry me to be my wife and mother to my children?"

The deg!

Instantly Arini was silent with round eyes staring at Hendra. Arini never thought that all this time Hendra had a special feeling for him. While he only considers Hendra like a brother.

"M-Mas Hendra, I-I ...." Arini was confused as to what to answer. It is unlikely that he accepted Hendra's proposal, while he was already bound by a promise to the late Mrs Arniz to marry Mr. Malik.

Hendra noticed Arini's expression at the time and he knew that she was worried. "Why, Arini? Do you still love Mas Dodi?"

Arini shook her head quickly. "Bu-not that, Mom! No," replied Arini with a paled face.

"Then?" Hendra started to limp. His spirit suddenly faded after seeing Arini's reaction back then.

"Actually I've made a promise to the late Mrs Arniz, Mas. Before he died, he asked me for something and I promised to fulfill his last wish" Arini said with a sad face.

"What's that?" Hendra's curious.

"He wants me to marry his husband, Mr. Malik Abraham."

Hendra took a heavy breath while closing the jewelry box that had been outstretched before Arini. "Then what about Mr Malik? Did he also agree to his late wife's strange request?"

Arini nodded slowly. "We have no other choice, Mom. Mr. Malik was no less shocked to hear the final request of the late Mrs Arniz. I know, actually Mr. Malik refused the match. But how else?" Arini was silent for a moment while continuing to look at Hendra's sad face. "I'm sorry, Mom."

Hendra smiled wryly then pushed the jewelry box containing the ring in front of Arini while nodding his head slowly.

"Yes, I understand how you're in position. Forgive me .. Because this ring has been intended for you, then take this ring even though it is not as a binding ring of our relationship. Think of this ring as a gift from me because soon you will give up your status as a servant, become a Lady of Abraham" said Hendra.
