My babysitter Maduku
Chapter 121

"I accept Arini bint Rahmadi's marriage, with the dowry, paid in cash."

"How, witnesses? Right?"

"Well!"

Arini immediately grabbed the hand of Mr. Malik then kissed him. While Mr. Malik replied by kissing Arini's head. First kiss for Arini and also Mr. Malik. They both look awkward and nervous.

Everyone in the room was grateful and they were happy because Arini and Mr. Malik were officially husband and wife. Both in religion and in the state.

However, not with the two people who continued to stare at them from a distance with annoyed gazes. They are Tia and Toni who strongly disapprove of the marriage happening.

"We'd better go home, Mom. I can't stand being here for long" Tia said as she moved away from the spot.

"Yes, I agree!" toni said as she followed Tia from behind.

"Why are we going home, Mom? The princess did not even congratulate Opa," said the Princess while looking in surprise at Tia who suddenly took her back to their residence.

"No need!" ketus Tia with a bent face.

Mr. Malik stared at the departure of Tia and Toni from the top of the guarantee. However, he was not surprised if the two men went without saying goodbye to him because he also knew that they had never agreed to his marriage with Arini.

"Isn't that-"

"Yes, Tia and Toni. Let them, do not think too much," interrupted Mr. Malik to Arini who participated in watching the departure of the couple.

Meanwhile.

The saint who wanted to meet Arini on the lap, accidentally hit Hendra who also wanted to go upstairs to congratulate him.

"Mas Hendra!" holy Scream with a big smile. He noticed the appearance of Hendra who looked so handsome. Just like always.

"Eh, you."

Hendra also returned the gaze of Saints while watching his appearance carefully. He only realized that it turned out Holy was a beautiful and attractive woman. Suci looks beautiful and sexy with brocade kebaya and tight skirt patterned batik. Natural makeup attached to his face was very supportive of his appearance at that time.

"Who, Hen?" asked Bu Ria to Hendra.

"Oh, here, Mom. Introduce his name Suci. He's Arini's best friend" Hendra told Ria.

"Include, Ci. It's Mother. You can call her Miss Ria."

Sacred smiled widely then extended her hand to Bu Ria. Miss Ria immediately greeted him.

"Oh yeah, how about we go up there together?" take Hendra to the Saints.

Saints and Hendra boarded the podium, where Mr. Malik and Arini were still busy welcoming the invited guests who wanted to congratulate them. It is now the Holy and Hendra's turn. They stood in front of the happy couple with a smile.

"Congratulations, Sir, Arini." Hendra extended his hand to Lord Malik and Arini alternately then continued by Saints. Although he had felt afraid, but Suci tried to calm down and continued to smile to Mr. Malik who was now looking at him fixedly.

"Hey, you guys made a deal, huh?" goda Arini half-whispered to the Saint standing before him. While Hendra was down and waiting downstairs. Waiting for Bu Ria and Bu Nining who were still waiting for the queue.

"No, Arini. We happened to meet when we wanted to get up here. But, don't forget to pray for me that after this our relationship can get closer." Sacred chuckles, so does Arini.

"Ish, I'm serious, this!" holy Chirps.

"Yes, yes! I wish you all the best" replied Arini. Suci gave his thumbs up then followed Hendra who was already at the bottom.

After Saints left, it was now Bu Ria and Bu Nining's turn. While dealing with Arini, Bu Nining was suddenly unable to hold back her tears. He cried while tightly hugging Arini's body.

Between happy and sad. Happy that Arini has finally found her happiness. Sad, because all this time Bu Nining still hopes Arini is willing to accept Dodi's presence back as before.

"Congratulations, Arini. I'm sorry, I can't give you anything" she said, wiping away tears.

"Oh my goodness, Mother. I never expected anything from Mom. You can come here too, I'm very happy" replied Arini with a smile.

While Arini and Bu Nining were still talking to each other, Mr. Malik continued to watch them closely. There is a sense of awe that Mr. Malik feels towards Arini.

How not, he knew that all this time Bu Nining had wasted the woman when she was Dodi's wife. However, Arini never once hated her former father-in-law. On the contrary, Ms. Nining has been considered the same as her own mother.

Finally, the conversation between Bu Nining and Arini was over. The two women went back down and rested there while enjoying the party and the various dishes that had been provided.

A few minutes later.

"Is that man your ex-lover?" asked Mr. Malik suddenly.

Arini furrowed her brows while looking at Mr. Malik. "Who? Mr Hendra?"

Mr. Malik did not answer, nor did he return Arini's gaze. However, from looking at the look on her face, Arini was sure that what her husband meant was Hendra.

"No, Mas. He was just my neighbor back when he was living with Mas Dodi" replied Arini, trying to explain.

"From his gaze, I'm sure that he likes you," he said later, still with the same expression.

Arini smiled bitterly and she was confused as to what to answer.
