Finally Getting Blessing
With a smile still on his lips, Jonathan continued, "Your intelligence, dedication, and everything you do for the Byhantara family make me realize that you are the answer to Jayden's happiness. I am grateful to have realized this, and I hope you can become a part of our family."
Jonathan resumed his work with newfound confidence and a smile that never faded from his face, realizing that Agatha had brought positive change to his family.
Days passed, and Jonathan continued to ponder his decision. Every time he saw Agatha, he became more certain that uniting Agatha with Jayden was the right move.
One day, Jonathan decided to talk directly to Agatha. He deliberately found a free moment to visit Jayden's company. With a warm smile, he approached Agatha in her office.
"Afternoon, Agatha. Can we talk for a moment?"
Agatha nodded and politely replied, "Ah, of course, Mr. Jonathan. How can I assist you?"
Jonathan sat in front of Agatha. "Actually, I want to convey something. I realize that I once had an incorrect view of you and Jayden. However, after seeing your dedication and abilities, I feel fortunate to have someone like you in the Byhantara family."
Agatha was taken aback, feeling very surprised by Jonathan's words just now. Even when she heard the news that he would come to see her, she was already extremely surprised and nervous. Nonetheless, she remained silent and let Jonathan continue.
Jonathan took a deep breath. "I feel that you are very suitable for Jayden, and I hope you can become an official part of our family. What do you think, Agatha?"
Agatha, increasingly surprised, struggled to swallow. However, it was not impossible that she eventually smiled happily upon hearing those words.
"Thank you, Mr. Jonathan. I am happy and grateful to hear that. I also want to be part of your family."
Jonathan felt relieved to hear a positive response from Agatha. He was confident that the Byhantara family's happiness would be even more complete with Agatha's presence.
With firm steps, Jonathan left the room, while Agatha smiled happily thinking about the positive change in her relationship with Jayden and the Byhantara family.
Agatha walked out of the office with a smile she could hardly contain. The blue sky and bright sun seemed to welcome her happiness. She walked towards a small garden in the office area, looking for a place to savor this moment briefly.
Under the shady trees, Agatha sat on a garden bench. She allowed herself to contemplate, merging feelings of joy and gratitude for the support given by Jonathan.
It felt like a significant change in her life, and Agatha couldn't wait to move on to the next stage.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated. Agatha saw an incoming call from Aluna, her best friend. It was just in time that she wanted to share this happy news with her.
Agatha smiled and answered Aluna's call. Aluna's cheerful voice sounded on the other end.
"Aluna! I also have good news. Mr. Jonathan finally gave his blessing for our relationship with Jayden. He supports us!"
["Wow? Seriously? Oh, Agatha, that's amazing! I'm so happy for you. How do you feel now? You must be so happy that you want to shout, right?"]
Agatha chuckled, then briefly recounted the moment when Jonathan gave his blessing. Aluna cheered joyfully over the phone.
["You're really lucky, Agatha. Jayden must be also thrilled to hear that! In that case, let's celebrate tonight with a feast!"]
Agatha giggled. "Of course. That's a great idea! We will definitely have a great time. Thank you for always being there for me."
They further discussed their plans for the evening. Agatha felt lucky to have a friend like Aluna who always supported her.
After the conversation, Agatha fell into silence again under the trees, enjoying her happiness and contemplating the next steps in her relationship with Jayden.

They walked amidst the hustle and bustle of the night market, colorful lights creating a cheerful atmosphere. Aluna and Agatha laughed as they explored various stalls offering delicious food, unique items, and street entertainment.
"Agatha, do you know? I am truly happy to see you being happy with Jayden. You two seem like a couple destined by fate," Aluna remarked.
Agatha smiled brightly. "Thank you, Aluna. I also feel very fortunate to have Jayden. He has made my life more meaningful."
They chose a stall offering the famous ice cream at the night market. While enjoying their ice cream, Agatha shared more about the changes that had occurred in Jonathan's family and how she had played a significant role in the process.
Aluna looked amazed. "Wow, Agatha, you are truly a remarkable woman. Being able to have such a positive impact on Jayden's family."
Agatha chuckled. "I'm just doing my best. And seeing them all happy is very satisfying."
They continued their journey, sharing laughter, stories, and collecting beautiful memories at the bustling night market.
The warm atmosphere of friendship and happiness weaved through the night, creating memories that they would cherish with gratitude and joy.
"Last night, my mom was asking about you, Agatha. Initially, she didn't like you, but now it seems her view is starting to change," Aluna changed the topic.
Agatha turned with excitement. "Really? Seriously? Wow, I'm glad to hear that."
"I'm very grateful to you, Agatha. You have made my life go smoothly. I'm lucky to have met you," Aluna said as she hugged Agatha's shoulder.
"We complement each other, Aluna. I also feel lucky to have a friend like you," Agatha replied.
While enjoying the bustling night market, Aluna and Agatha smiled at each other. Warm and lively conversations between them brought warmth to the bright night. Aluna talked about what she discussed with her mother last night.
"What? Did you really do that? You showed my photo from the competition? How did your mother react afterwards?" Aluna nodded with laughter. "Of course! I want her to know how good of a friend you are! And wow! My mom was so impressed that she couldn't comment anymore!"
Agatha chuckled and shook her head. The bustling night market, the colorful lights, and the light conversation made their evening even more memorable.
"I hope after this, our lives will truly be happy. Hopefully, there are no more problems, and we can work on our thesis peacefully until graduation," Aluna expressed.
"Exactly. I don't want life problems to disturb my thesis work. It's really frustrating. Especially with the thesis topic I chose that's driving me nuts," Aluna added.
Agatha also expressed the same hope. "We can definitely get through everything together. And regarding the thesis, I'm sure we will complete it well. We have overcome so many things together; this is just a small test."
Aluna nodded. "Exactly! We'll get through it all with the strength of our friendship. So, let's enjoy this evening without any heavy thoughts."
They continued their night by strolling along the night market, enjoying delicious food, and sharing laughter.
"Oh, by the way. Mr. Cakra still hasn't returned from abroad. I wanted to see his face again," Aluna mentioned.
Agatha let out a small scoff. "I actually hope he never comes back."
"Oh my, Agatha. You're outrageous," Aluna said, patting her chest.
"What can I say, Aluna. I just feel better without him around me. At least, since Mr. Cakra's departure, everything has been more peaceful."
"Well, hopefully his return won't bring problems again. We need peace, don't we?" Aluna said.
Agatha scoffed again. "I'm not sure. But I hope so, well, I hope so."
Aluna shrugged. "Well, who knows it will get better in the future. After all, we have many fun things to enjoy now. Like, oh, look at that! It's your favorite snack stand!"
Agatha spontaneously looked and her eyes sparkled. They both then ran and continued their journey at the night market, enjoying every moment together and hoping their happiness will continue in the future.
