"Want some, sis?" Grace grabbed the arm of Lea, who was standing in her room thinking. Grace's invitation from Daniel had come rather suddenly and had also taken her by surprise."Uh, it's not allowed by mom and dad," Lea replied skeptically. She had wanted to go to Bali for a long time. She just needed to find the right time or the right travel companion. Amanda had gone there on business, and when she invited Lea, she couldn't go because she was so busy at the office that she didn't feel comfortable asking for time off for non-urgent matters."Ah, I will help me talk to Mom and Dad. I think it's okay if I go with Brother Daniel. There are business interests there as well. Not for fun," Grace answered Lea's doubts.A moment later, Mrs. Anna called for them to come for dinner. They quickly went downstairs to the kitchen and dining room, where Mrs. Anna and Mr. Adam were waiting at the dining room table."Uh, Lea came down too? Did you eat meatballs after work earlier?" Mrs. Anna repri
After work that day, Daniel picked Lea up from the office and stopped by to meet with Mr. Adam to fulfill his order to ask permission to take Lea to Bali in person.He had prepared detailed reasons and a convincing narrative to prove that he would not jeopardize his daughter's safety.Mr. Adam immediately cleared the way for Daniel to be more relaxed in the discussion. The wise man jokingly said to open the conversation."Ah, this is the man who dared to take my daughter to Bali for two days, huh?"Daniel immediately responded with a light-hearted reply,"I'm sorry, Uncle. But this man has proven sound and dares to keep his promise to bring back your daughter as perfect as before she left.”Daniel's relaxed but responsible way of speaking convinced Mr. Adam. After all, he also believed that Lea could take care of herself."Haha, well then. I’ll giving yande as well as a test. If something is broken, you'll know who you're dealing with." The threat, spoken lightly but with a firm warni
"Ish, it's different, Lea. PKL is a campus event. There's a chaperone and lots of friends. There's a lot of chaperones there, too."Ms. Anna persisted with her worries."Well...isn't Lea going?"Lea finally got annoyed at being pestered by Ms. I'm worried about you anyway. I'm afraid because I love you. I don't want anything wrong to happen to you, dear."In a lower tone, Mrs. Anna revealed the reason. Lea was silent. When that's the case, the mother always wins the argument with all her theories of love—the ultimate weapon of mothers in Bella. After finishing the packing scene, which was emotionally draining and invited some heated arguments, Lea finally had to obey her mother's command to sleep early that night after dinner. Mrs. Anna reminded her to get up early tomorrow and leave right away. Be on time and take the plane. And all sorts of warnings that made Lea's ears prick up and automatically duck into the room for peace. Then Grace came to Lea's akaamr to deliver a long list of sou
The following day, after dawn, Lea was ready. Mrs. Anna had also prepared a special breakfast of marmalade bread and grilled sausages because Lea was not used to eating rice so early in the morning. Mrs. Anna was the kind of mother who never let her family members leave the house without first filling their stomachs.Around six o'clock, Daniel arrived to pick up Lea. A private driver was at the wheel, probably so the car could be taken straight home after they both arrived at the airport later. He made small talk for a while and then took off because they had to go to Husein Sstranegara Airport, which was about half an hour away via Kebon Jati Road, which was usually quite quiet on weekend mornings like this.Lea, who had only a fancy backpack with room for a few more pairs of clothes, looked happy throughout the trip. She also kept joking with Daniel about whether she should cut the ribbon and her position."Yes, as the future son-in-law of the owner," Daniel joked.Lea immediately p
"Ish. That's not right. A man must yield to his wife. Go to bed. I'll sleep anywhere." Daniel insisted and plopped down on the sofa instead, making a face that refused to be denied.Lea smiled briefly at Daniel's polite attitude, then slipped into her room and locked the door. Her mother texted her back and forth, telling her not to forget to lock her room. Haha, oh my! Double security is indeed necessary.Before closing her eyes, Lea sent a chat to Daniel,"Good Nite! If it's important, just call, don't knock on the door, it's locked!"Daniel read it, giggling. What a Lea! While he made himself as comfortable as possible on the sofa, which was too short for his tall body, Daniel finally used the thick blanket from his room as a mat on the thick carpet in front of the sofa and slept on his back there. It was much more comfortable, and he fell asleep immediately because he was so tired that day.The next day, Lea, used to waking up at dawn, came out of the room and saw Daniel sleeping o
Meanwhile, after Shane received word the next day that his proposal to hold Masquerade Party Part 2 had been approved, he had to make several trips to the organizing club's base camp to coordinate.This time must not fail; Shane must succeed in finding the Miss Purple who stole his heart. No matter what. Because she was the only one who could make him leave Lea, who was already with another man. Damn it, he muttered angrily.Finally, the invitations were successfully made with the same number as in Part 1. There were many considerations to distribute them only through club members who at least knew who had gotten diversion tickets from invitees who couldn't attend. The purpose is to keep the invitations in a mode that is not for the public but only for their limited circle.Then, this time, Shane also put in personal funds to increase the list of door prizes so that more people would stay until the end of the event for the door prizes.Now, he just hoped that somehow Miss Purple would
"I know, no, sis. I got this," Grace reported when Lea came home from work that afternoon."What is it?" she asked curiously, looking at the phone her sister held out to her.There was a photo of two tickets, just like the ones Adelle had given her at the office that morning."Wow? That's good. I don't have to worry about you getting the mumps anymore." As she said that, Lea reached into her briefcase and showed her the tickets.Grace's eyes lit up at the sight. Her sister was always one step ahead of her. Lea had gotten to them first."So, Sister Lea, where did you buy the costume first? Later, Freddie will pick me up to look for a couple of costumes too, here," Grace said, starting to question her sister.Lea told Grace the name and address of the store and then went to her room to shower.After showering, Lea remembered something, but when she looked for Grace, it turned out that her sister had already left with Freddie. Mrs. Anna asked what her sister had planned and why she seeme
Amanda was now faced with a dilemma. If she told Daniel about the party and why it was being held, he would be furious and object to Lea going there.But she also couldn't bear to tell Daniel about the party. Daniel wouldn't have gotten an invitation because he came in the back door. How could that be recorded, right?Finally, after some consideration, Amanda told him only about the Part 2 party. I also informed her that there was no need to worry about tickets. She had two. She and Alvin could not attend because her boyfriend was out of town and would not return until Sunday."Huh? Until part 2 of the party? Why?" Daniel asked in surprise."I don't know. Maybe it's because too many people wanted it to happen again, haha, who knows, right? Maybe many people met their soul mates there, so the organizers were inspired to do it again." Amanda tried to joke.Daniel joined in the laughter, dismissing his astonishment."Oh, yes, there's a note on the invitation that participants must wear t
