the unexpected call

We all walked out of our memory apartment. I felt a little clumsy walking with Mr Abi. He is actually not too ugly for the standard of handsome guys because actually, Mr Abi's face is more handsome than my boyfriend Kris. However, I must not waver with only the lure of his handsome face and wealth.

Ario took us to the Korean barbeque restaurant. This is one of our favourite restaurants in the Korean city when this is the only restaurant that can cater for our strict diet.

Abi with her attitude quite knows the courtesy of standing in front of the door to invite our parents to enter the restaurant when Ario is busy taking care of our reservation table.

It turned out that we were brought into a small room that accommodated ten people. Abi patiently let me sit in between himself and Bella and in the opposite of our parents.

Ario and Bella ordered several meat menus and complimentary dishes while my mother and aunt ordered some other dishes for us to eat and drink. Abi casually prepared all our cutlery.

Suddenly, my phone rang. 'Mas Kris' name is on the caller ID video call to my phone. I was really surprised to see it.

Kris never called me out of a sudden and normally, he will text me first. Abi finds out about the phone call and he is getting expressionless.

"Who calls you, ras?" Mama asked me while she put some hot tea toward my father.

"It's nobody mom just my friend. Let Laras just send a message to him," Laras argued to his mother regardless of Abi's face that became cold after knowing who called his future wife.

"I hope for your loyalty and you will uphold our family reputation," Abi whispered to Laras's ear which instantly turned red. Laras was bowed her head down with her mobile phone above her thigh.

Laras typed messages through his whataps application.

"I'm sorry I was having dinner with mom and dad. Later tonight I'll call you. Is there anything important?' typed me to my lover in Indonesia. The message was sent directly to him and there was a two-tick blue sign indicating it had been read. However, there was no further reply or response to my message. I hung up my phone with the screen down and didn't forget to turn off the sound.

Food is coming to our table and filled the table. the barbeque charcoal stove was ready to grill meat at the table. Bella and mama swiftly put some kind of meat on the grilling. Mr Abi is busy discussing business with my father and Bella's father. Ario is busy helping Bella and making out together like a newlywed.

Suddenly, a few pieces of meat had already landed on top of my pile of rice. I was supposed to serve my husband and not that man who served me.

"Wow, this is what you call an ideal husband. " My mother teased me when she saw Abi painstakingly putting meat into my bowl.

"Thank you, Abi. I can take it myself," I refused the food from her future husband.

"Shut up and eat..." Abi replied with no expression on her face. I became angry and pout at the behaviour of the person I was going to be betrothed as my husband.

I didn't reply back to his words and was busy with the food in front of me. Abi continued to give the grilled meat to a small plate next to my bowl of rice. He was also busy with business talks with my father and Bella's father until we lost count into time.
