"What do you think Jay?"
"How's it going, Dad?"
"How's the guy? Fine. Polite. Handsome again."
"Yeah, yeah."
"How come you're just so used to him. You don't like him?"
"It's not like that, Dad. It's also the first time I've met him. So I can't judge him too much."
"Well then, you should get to know each other more deeply."
Lavanya just smiled faintly at her Father. This time Lavanya really didn't like the discussion her Father was having. Luckily the trip back to the Office wasn't long. So that Lavanya can go straight into her room without having to listen to her Father who is constantly boasting about Jay.
Arriving at the room, Lavanya was angry with herself. Because of what her Father did, actually Lavanya didn't like it. But Lavanya didn't dare to say it directly.
"Dad, why do I still match your friends children. I'm already an adult. I can choose my own partner. I just want to be happy with the people I love and love me," Lavanya said alone.
Incidentally, not long after that Dhira entered her room. Dhira entered Lavanya's room because she wanted to ask Lavanya for her autograph as her boss at the Office.
Knock... Knock... Knock...
Even though Lavanya is her best friend, Dhira still respects her as her Boss at the Office. Dhira can be professional between friends and work in the Office.
"Lavanya. What are you doing? You are so sluggish. Haven't heard from Arzan yet?" said Dhira.
"What are you, Dhira. I am really resentful of my Father. Just so you know, I was introduced to my Father's friend's son. Isn't it really lazy."
"Oh yeah? And what about the person? Isn't he handsome? Isn't that cool."
"What the hell, Dhira. I don't care about looks."
"Yeah, yeah. I'm joking. Well, if your heart is for Arzan, don't be too proud to contact him again. I'm sure that Arzan will be happy to hear from you."
"But he's already disappointed with me, Dhira."
"Haven't tried it yet. And you also have to have the courage to say no if you really don't like your Father. Don't force it. In the end it won't be good."
"Okay then I will try. Why are you here? Do you want to sign?"
"Yes Boss."
"Ready."
Lavanya immediately signed the file which had been stamped which Dhira brought. After that, Dhira immediately left Lavanya's room. Because there is still a lot of work for Dhira to finish today.
After Dhira came out of the room, Lavanya thought about Dhira's words. Lavanya wants to contact Arzan again but there is still some doubt in her.
"Should I contact Arzan? But what if Arzan is angry with me? Ah, I will just try it. Instead of thinking about myself," thought Lavanya.
Finally Lavanya sends a message to Arzan. Lavanya wants to meet Arzan to explain all the lies that Lavanya did with Arzan. Lavanya asks Arzan to meet her at Restaurant near from Lavanya's officye.
Lavanya is very grateful that Arzan wants to meet her again after the disappointment she felt with the lies that Lavanya gave. Lavanya explains everything to Arzan. And fortunately Arzan can understand why Lavanya did all that. Since then Lavanya and Arzan are close to each other and know each other more deeply.
Arzan already knows who the real Lavanya is. And now Lavanya also knows who Arzan is. Arzan is a child who grew up in an orphanage. He did not know who his biological Father and Mother were until now. All the necessities of life up to Arzan's school, the orphanage, are the ones who take care of him. Until finally Arzan decided to leave the orphanage after he graduated from high school. Since then Arzan started looking for a job for himself by relying on a high school diploma. Luck came to Arzan. Arzan can work in an Office even with a high school diploma. Although Arzan's position is also not high there. The most important thing for him is that he can support himself.
Arzan's expectation is that once Lavanya finds out who he is, Lavanya will stay away from him. But in reality not at all. Lavanya actually feels even more in love and proud of Arzan's struggles so far.
"Why does Lavanya want to be with him? He's right under you."
"Many are still richer than him."
"You are a child who has feelings, when you are dating an ordinary employee."
"You will only be used by him."
Lots of scorn is given by people to Lavanya and Arzan's relationship. But Lavanya doesn't care. Lavanya chooses to cover her ears with all that. Lavanya is still happy to have a relationship with Arzan. Lavanya and Arzan like to go out together like young people in love. Until finally the Father began to suspect Lavanya's slightly changed attitude. The Lavanya now prefers to come out.
"Where's Lavanya? Why doesn't she have dinner with us?" asked her Father to Esha Brother.
"I don't know, Dad. Lavanya just said she was going out. But she didn't tell me where she was going."
"Didn't you ask?"
"Never mind. Let's just leave it be. She's an adult right. Maybe she's dating again. It's Sunday night right."
"Dating? With whom?"
"Yeah I don't know either, Dad."
"Lavanya can't go out with just anyone. What I'm afraid of is that Lavanya is only used by men who don't know themselves. I want to call Lavanya now."
As his favorite daughter, when Lavanya is not in the dining room at dinner, her Father immediately looks for her. Especially after the older brother said the origin. His father immediately worried and immediately called Lavanya.
*****
"I'm going to the bathroom first," said Arzan.
"Oh yes."
Currently Lavanya and Arzan are having dinner together at one of the restaurants they usually visit. Not long after, Lavanya's cellphone vibrated. It turned out that the one calling him this time was his own father. Without thinking, Lavanya immediately picked it up.
"Hello. Yes, Dad."
"Where are you, son? With who?"
"I'm having dinner out, I'm with my friend. I'm sorry. Well, I didn't ask permission earlier because Dad hasn't come home yet. But I already have permission from Esha's sister."
"Whose friends are you having dinner with? Which? Your college friends or your workmates?"
Incidentally Arzan had finished from the bathroom. Arzan who saw Lavanya on the phone with someone immediately asked him. Arzan's voice can be heard by Lavanya's father.
"Who's on the phone?" asked Arzan.
