Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 250 - Parental support
...***...
Nightfall. After finishing washing his body and dressed neatly. Leon spent some time resting before he finally came down to dinner with his family.
Leon's family consists of only three people who are none other than himself, his father and mother.
Leon actually has a female cousin who is a little older than him. He is the son of his uncle, who is the older brother of his father.
But his uncle's family lives in London, because his aunt Leon is a woman of blood and British citizenship.
Since moving to Indonesia in approximately 2001, Leon has rarely met his cousin.
His last meeting was his eight-year-old.
Back then, as they should have been, they always flew to France to visit their grandparents and spend Christmas together. A few years later, his grandparents died.
Since then, Leon has never met his cousin again whom he even considers his brother. Very unfortunate.
Leon sat at a table with his parents. They are busy with their own food.
Not a single word came out of each other's mouths. All that is heard decorating the dining table is the sound of spoons and forks that occasionally collide with plates.
"Hm." Maxime Laurent, cleared his throat to break the silence that has since enveloped their togetherness. "Well, how far along have you been with Elvina?" tanyanya opened the conversation.
Leon and Zabrina spontaneously turned to her new direction.
"We just got to know each other more" replied Leon as if.
"So, you guys aren't official yet?"
"Not yet, ma." Leon shakes.
"Why do you keep buying time? Do you want Elvina to fall in love with another man?" Maxime seemed confused by his son stalling the start.
"It wasn't me stalling, but Elvina never realized I liked her. I've already expressed my feelings for her, and I'm waiting for an answer from her. I'll give it time to think."
"That's what it looks like."
"Mama really hopes you can be with Elvina. She is a good girl, besides being good at finance and math, she will definitely be very good at managing finances in your family later. Mama hope you guys will soon be, after that step towards a more serious level. Married." Zabrina smiled. He is very interested in discussing a topic that is already related to Elvina.
A beautiful and smart woman who works in her husband's office. Ever since he first met her, Zabrina had already felt interested in her abilities. She became more interested after seeing her ability to carry out her position in the financial department of her husband's office.
Every financial plan made and predicted by Elvina is always on target. Evidently over the past year, since Elvina joined her husband's company, there have been no problems in the office related to the budget.
"Just pray for the best, ma, pa." Leon smiled knot.
"Mama and papa will always support and pray for the best for you," said Zabrina, who was accepted by her husband.
After hearing the words from my mom and dad, I became more and more eager to fight for his love, Leon thought. He paused for a moment while smiling at the words of his parents, before turning back to focus on the food he was enjoying in front of him.
