Sinopse

Which one should you choose? Love, or ambition? Because the two cannot go hand in hand.

Chapter 1Warning

That afternoon, Warung Lesehan Jogja, which is located on the outskirts of Malang, looks very crowded, because it coincides with lunch time. In addition, the Lesehan shop complex is an office area. Multi-storey buildings are located along the street. The price of food at the Lesehan stall is also quite affordable, so this Lesehan shop is never empty of visitors, especially during the daytime, because the employees who work in the company around the Lesehan stall during the day will take a break for lunch at the Lesehan stall. Especially for companies that do not provide lunch services for their employees.

At one of the tables, a couple of lovers are enjoying their lunch. The woman seemed not in the mood to enjoy her lunch, on her plate, still intact white rice and her favorite kremes chicken. Meanwhile, the man seemed to be eating his rice and chicken kremes.

"Mas Genta, when are you going to propose to me?" Kaylila started the conversation after a long silence.

Genta fell silent, and stopped eating his rice, surprised. A few seconds later, as if he had mastered the atmosphere, Genta continued eating his rice again.

"How come you suddenly ask that, Yang? Why? Don't you still want to have a career first, want to go back to college? "

Kaylila exhaled roughly, then sipped her favorite Ice Degan Orange.

"I just need certainty, Mas. When we graduated from college, when we graduated and you met my parents, you said you wanted to work first, then you would formally ask me later. After 1 year you worked on the Expedition, you said, wait for you to get an established job first. Well, now that you've got an established job at the bank, you don't justify me. Yet if you calculate it, we have been in a relationship for almost 6 years. "

Kaylila spoke hurriedly, with emotion. Meanwhile, Genta seems calm in facing the attitude of his lover who can sometimes act spoiled, mature, sometimes even like a child. But this time Kaylila was serious about what she said.

"Honey, it's not like I'm not serious with you. I'm serious, I don't wanna mess with our relationship. If I just wanted to play around, of course our relationship wouldn't last until now. Is not it?"

"Yes, I know it, bro. But I'm a girl, I need certainty. Last night my mother called me, and again asked about our relationship. Yes, I said our relationship is fine, and it's still going on as usual. "

"Well, that's better. Indeed, our relationship is fine, right? Then what else, how come you suddenly ask about the certainty of our relationship again? "

"Mama took my ultimatum. This year I am 27 years old, mom and dad want me to immediately end my bachelor period. "

"Hahahahahahaha. Honey, how old are you now? You're still 27 next year, right? Already, don't think about it. "

"Mas, did you forget that in November I will be 27 years old?"

"Is it true? Let me count first. "

Genta pretended to be tapping his fingers just to count how old Kaylila was. In fact, there was a feeling of anxiety in her heart, when she realized that it was true that Kaylila turned 27 this year. Genta tried to cover up his anxiety by smiling sweetly in front of Kaylila.

"Eh, it's true, Yang. I'm sorry for not paying attention. "

They both fell silent. The rice on Genta's plate was left with a few mouthfuls left, but he didn't continue eating it anymore. Genta washed his hands, and sipped the sweet iced tea. Nosa finished his lunch. It seems he has no taste anymore.

"Honey, this time I promise to legalize you soon. But, please give me another 2 years. I think 2 years is enough for me to mature and solidify my mind to start a household. Right now I'm still not ready, I'm still afraid to start a marriage bond. I beg you, please tell your mama and papa. I'm serious, I won't ask for more time. It's March, right? In March 2 years from now I will propose to you soon. I will immediately fly to Jambi, propose to you. I promise!"

Genta held Kaylila's hand. Kaylila's face looked disappointed. She failed to get the assurance that this year she will have to get married. Kaylila is afraid that if this year Genta doesn't marry her soon, mom and dad will soon find a mate for her. And of course, papa and mama will find a mate in Jambi, Kaylila's hometown, and automatically, Kaylila must return to Jambi. That's impossible, Kaylila really loves Genta. Genta is Kaylila's first love and first boyfriend. Kaylila will not be able to part with Genta. Since college, they have always been together.

Since college, they have always been together. Their introduction during the Real Work College (KKN) continued into a lover relationship that has lasted until now. Genta is caring, gentle and loves Kaylila so much, makes Kaylila to bend her knees and return Genta's love. Genta a campus star, she studied Accounting major, while Kaylila majored in Psychology. Friends say that Kaylila and Genta are matched and compatible. And every time you meet friends, only one question is always asked, "When did you guys get married? Don't be too late, you will be carried away by the wind! " Kaylila always answered that question with a smile.

"Two years is not a short time, Mas Genta. I am a woman, the older the woman is, the more worried my mother and father will be. Especially in Jambi, my cousin is already married, and even has a child. Then when do I have children if I get married yet? "

"Honey, tell mom and dad, don't worry, I will be responsible for our future. Yes, don't discuss this again. You don't want to frown either, then you won't be pretty. "

Genta, put on a sweet smile, which makes Kaylila unable to hold back a smile. Genta can always dissolve Kaylila's frustration and anxiety. But this time Kaylila really gave up. Don't know how to convey what Genta said to mama and papa later.

"Well, that's it. If you smile, the more beautiful you are. Which, looks like I have to go back to the office soon, because there is an appointment with a client. Do you take me to the office or go alone? Hurry here. "

"No need to be escorted, I can go home alone, just cross the road anyway."

"Okay, I went to the cashier first, went straight to the office. You are careful to cross it, at this time on the road, there must be a lot of people passing by. Don't forget, this afternoon I can't pick you up. Can you just take a taxi? "

"Yes. Mas also be careful on the road. "

Genta went to the cashier, while Kaylila walked towards the exit. Genta looks like walking towards Kaylila, and waving her hand towards Genta's Honda Jazz. Genta passed, while Kaylila was still standing in the parking lot of the Lesehan stall. Kaylila was disappointed, because she could not persuade Genta to marry her this year too. Kaylila is in the parking lot, walking frantically, which certainly disturbs her concentration. Without looking either side of the road, Kaylila immediately crossed the road, which at that time seemed to be bustling with people who were about to return to the office.

Ciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt ... Bruk.

"Ouch ...!"

Kaylila did not see that there was a Honda Mobilio turning to the right, while Kaylila was going to the left. Suddenly Kaylila hit the front of the car and fell down. The parking lot at the Lesehan shop immediately came to Kaylila.

"Ma'am, it's okay?"

"Yes, bro, it's okay, just shocked."

The owner of the Honda Mobilio got out of the car. A handsome, tall, athletic man, clad in a light gray press body shirt, and black pants, displaying a broad chest silhouette with an age range of around 30 years. His appearance is fashionable, really charming. Make Kaylila stunned. Kaylila immediately brushed off her admiration.

"Sorry, miss, I don't see you want to cross."

This male bass voice sounded sexy in Kaylila's ears.

Without warning, Kaylila grumbled at once, releasing her emotions that had been held back by Genta.

"Can you see if I want to cross? I am this big, you know. If I was as small as a bird, then the mas would say that. Next time driving be careful, have a look. So as not to cause accidents and harm others. Cook a good car like this, there are no sign lights and horns. Or the mas who deliberately tried to hit me. It's really annoying. "

One Wild Night

Lucinda Perry, a social recluse and a workaholic, makes a pledge to herself to go all wild on her twenty-fifth birthday and even score a one night stand if she gets her long deserved promotion at work. Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?
