The Estuary of Zalina Love
Chapter 26 Zalina Meet Ferdy

"What about your lecture, Zalina?" ask Marcel.

"Next week I'm in a thesis hearing, Pa. Please pray hopefully launched and graduation according to the schedule," replied Zalina.

"Sure, Papa will always wish you good luck in everything."

"Amin .. thank you, Pa."

Zalina including rarely visit Surabaya where his father, in addition to the distance, maybe also because he is not so close to his papa who has busy like other entrepreneurs. Sometimes, Marcel was the one who often visited Zalina in Malang, after the work was done then he would stop by to visit Zalina.

"Mom, Zalina, stay here first for a few days, it's been a long time since you guys have stayed here" Marcel said.

"Mother will follow Zalina's decision, if she agrees to stay the night then mother will stay the night too, How, Zalina?" Nema asked Zalina who was still silent.

"Zalina, you remind me that I once wanted to introduce you to my friend's son, if you want to stay here for a few days, then I'll ask them to come here so you can get acquainted first."

Zalina who heard the words of her papa could only sigh. Not because of his sense of kangen or his longing for Zalina, his papa asked to stay here, but because of other intentions.

"Well, we're gonna stay here, but I can't take too long, Pa. Because I took a 3-day work leave, the day after I had to reach Malang again" said Zalina.

Marcel who heard Zalina's words pulled his lips smiled happily. "It's okay, tonight I'll ask them to come here, so you can get acquainted first."

Zalina only replied with a slight smile, even though she actually did not like this plan of her papa. But, there is no harm in obeying the will of the papa this time, how to know all for his good.

Nema could not say anything, she knew that Zalina actually did not like this, but Nema also knew that Zalina did not want to disappoint Marcel this time. Nema can only pray that whatever happens to Zalina, everything is a good destiny for Zalina's happiness in the future.

In the evening, at the long dining table at Marcel's house there are various dishes served menu. In fact, they were already sitting in their respective seats while waiting for the person who was going to visit tonight.

"Zalina, you're beautiful tonight" Liliana told marcel.

"Thank you onty, the opposite is also so, onty also looks beautiful," Zalina said to her mother. Yes, Liliana is beautiful because she has Chinese blood just like her papa. Likewise with Zalina, who has Chinese blood derived from the papa.

"Onty hopes you get a mate in Surabaya, so you can stay close to us" Liliana said.

Zalina just smiled at Liliana's words.

Ting nong's ...

Ting nong's ...

Ting nong's ...

"Let me open," Liliana said as she stood up from her chair.

Liliana walked to the main door to see who was coming.

"Good Night, Jeng Liliana" said one woman after Liliana opened the door.

"Good Night too, Jeng Melisa," Liliana replied as she poked and hugged for a while.

"Let's all, please come in!" said Liliana who invited the three people in front of her.

Liliana and the guests walked towards the large dining table.

"Come, please sit down! Andre," Marcel invited a guest named Andre and his family to sit at the dinner table.

"Zalina, this is the guest we're waiting for. He is Mr. Andre and Ms. Melisa, and their son Ferdy" Marcel said, introducing Andre and his family.

Zalina smiled kindly while nodding politely at all her guests.

"Ferdy is working at his papa company which is engaged in coal mining, Zalina. In fact, he is a graduate from a foreign university" said Marcel who introduced Ferdy to the princess.

Zalina simply gave a faint smile to Ferdy, who was greeted with a smirk by Ferdy.

"You're beautiful, son," said Melisa.

Right in front of Zalina, the man named Ferdy showed a smile full of his Smirk. She looked at Zalina with a gaze that Zalina did not like, but Zalina was not a weak, timid and easily wavering woman with a look, or with seduction. Zalina put on an EGP face, I care when Ferdy looks at her, with Zalina's stupid time turning her eyes to another direction, not interested at all with Ferdy.

"Son Zalina, what's his activity now?" ask Melissa again.

"I'm in college and I'm working, Mom."

"Your daughter is beautiful and talented, Marcel. You say, if at this time he is also in business even though he is still pioneering. I like this kind of woman to be my daughter-in-law, don't you think, Ma?" ask Andre to his wife.

everyone in the room laughed, Zalina only responded with her smile.

"Papa's right, but we're just a bridge for the two of them, if they feel right then we'll support him. We leave it to the two of them, after all, this is the first time we meet, maybe we can arrange a chance to meet again to get closer," said Melisa wisely.

Zalina did not respond to anything from the words of the people at the dinner table, she just smiled or replied as if asked.

"Now, let's eat first! after that we can still continue chatting casually." Marcel invited everyone at the dinner table to start their dinner.

They all enjoyed a dinner full of intimacy. After eating they returned to chatting, no matter what Zalina was talking about did not care about it. Until Andre and his family say goodbye to go home.

"Zalina, if you have a chance to stop by our house, or if you're playing to Surabaya, let Ferdy pick you up" Melisa said.

"God, Mom." Zalina could only give such a response, because she was also notah when will come to Surabaya again.

"Later, if I have a job to Malang, I will invite Ferdy, so that he can visit Zalina and get to know more, at this time they are still shy because they first met, at other times you may be able to talk to both of you," said Marcel.

"All right, then we say Marcel. Thank you for dinner" Andre said.

"Together Andre, thank you for coming." Marcel cheers up Andre.

After Andre and his family came home, Marcel invited Zalina back to sit in the family room.

"Zalina, what do you think of Ferdy? do you like it?" ask Marcel.

"Come, Pa. Maybe the first time we met so we don't know each other yet" Zalina replied casually.

"Papa hope in the future there is good news for the relationship between the two of you. Later, papa will take Ferdy to Malang, so you can meet and chat together to get to know each other more."

Zalina just sighed softly hearing her papa. After chatting with her papa, Zalina caught up with Nema who had first entered her room after chatting with Andre's family earlier.

Zalina opened the door of Nemanya's room, and saw Nema who had just come out of the bathroom.

"Zalina thought Nema was asleep" said Zalina, walking into her room.

"But baby, it's just ready to clean. Come, Comehere!" said Nema patting the bedside next to her seat. "You like the guy your dad knew?"

Zalina sighed, confused as to what to say to her Nemanya. Zalina leaned her head against Nema's shoulder.

"See, Nema. We had only met for the first time and had not chatted with each other, probably due to the still awkward situation as well.

"Well, I hope he's a good man to you, son."

"What, according to Nema, is he a good man for Zalina?"

"Nema doesn't dare to conclude it now, because the one who knows her better is certainly your papa, papa you can't possibly mistake a partner for her daughter, never mind! don't think about it anymore, tonight let's take a break, because tomorrow we'll go home to Malang."

"Hmmm ... Yes Nema, then Zalina will return to Zalina's room. Good night, Nema," said Zalina, kissing Nema's cheek.

"Good night, son."

Zalina left her room and went to her room.

"May my judgment be wrong, may the man be a good and proper man for my grandson" Nema said.
