Beautiful Monster
Rajendra Guests

There is one person who Ignacia thought was able to help her learn the Krama system when she visited her lover's parents' house. A good friend who is dating her lover without hesitation for getting permission from their respective parents. Ignacia believes she has also often met her lover's parents to just play.

Ignacia took the man to her house in the clear daylight. Yesterday's rain made the city cooler than usual. Even when the sun had reached a very hot time, it did not feel as hot as before. Ignacia waited patiently in the living room, busy flipping through the pages of a book on one of the sofas.

A message came into Ignacia's cell phone, from someone she invited. He said there was a slight delay because he had to fill the gas first. Ignacia was relaxed, she did not mind if she had to wait any longer. Besides, the distance of the gas station with this house is not far. Fifteen minutes later his friend arrived.

Ignacia approached the fence of the house, opened as wide as possible so that his friend's motorcycle could enter. "Thank you for coming. I'm not bothering you?" The owner of the house closed the fence after his friend managed to park well inside. The friend took off his helmet and put it on the seat.

"No, you're not a hassle. I happen to be running. Then what do you want to ask me?" The friend was brought into the house. There's no way Ignacia would be chatting with her friend out here. "Where are your parents, Ignacia? I want to say hello to them too."

"My parents were out to take my sister to buy swimming gear. My third brother will be in extracurricular." If Ignacia's parents were at home, she wouldn't have invited her friend to come. His father might be able to hear their conversation unintentionally and get angry later.

Before opening the chat, Ignacia asked first what her friend wanted to drink. Silence surrounds the friend when left alone for a while. Ignacia's two younger brothers are out, Athira is also in the room. Soon he will follow the introduction period of campus life.

Ignacia was so calm in the kitchen making drinks as well as grabbing snacks. His arrival to the living room alone was barely noticed by his friend. The friend was confused as to why it was so quiet here. She did not know how crowded this house would be if her sisters had returned. In about two hours they must have finished looking for swimsuits and more.

"So what do you want to ask? Said something urgent." He grabbed a glass of cold drink that Ignacia had placed on the table. Last night he got a message from Ignacia if there was anything important he wanted to ask. Kemala will not refuse if his friend needs help. Be now that he is sitting with Ignacia in her living room.

"Rajendra invited me to his house tomorrow. Can you give me some advice?" Then what thought, apparently about visiting the home of prospective in-laws. The narrow-eyed girl was well aware of it because this was definitely the first time for Ignacia. Previously he was also confused how to behave until now already clever and more confident.

Later that night Rajendra sends a message to Ignacia's mother, asking her permission to bring her first child home to meet her parents. After reading the message, Ignacia's mother hurriedly came to her son, making sure the message Rajendra sent was not playful. Coincidentally his son was busy choosing clothes, meaning Rajendra was honest.

Her mother sat by the bed, watching Ignacia open the closet. The plan he will look for clothes with sleeves along the elbow with skirts exceeding the knee. Blending a stripe shirt with midi skirt jeans and sneakers to give a girly impression.

"You should wear a dress or a top along with a skirt. It is not recommended to wear pants as this is the first time to meet." The first suggestion that Kemala gave Ignacia was to work that night. Making sure he's not late, Rajendra makes plans tomorrow night.

Ignacia showed the results of his discovery to the mother, he approached the body as it was being worn. "What do you think, Mom? Does it fit?" Her mother looked at her daughter from top to bottom, judging by the appearance her son would use tomorrow night. It looks beautiful, but it seems less than appropriate.

His mother got up, looking for something more appropriate. There was one dress that Ignacia's mother thought of before she finished looking through the contents of her child's closet. The woman came out of Ignacia's room without saying anything. Walk to her room and open the closet. There is a dress that he has never worn because it feels less suitable.

Vintage dress in patterned faded jeans that will be combined with nude color loafer. Ignacia will definitely be very beautiful wearing this outfit especially white children fit all the clothes. The dress was taken straight to her son's room. "Try this, Ignacia. It must be a perfect fit for you."

Ignacia's gaze seemed confused staring at the new clothes smelling dress from her mother. Doubtful Ignacia brought the dress to the bathroom to try. After looking at herself in the mirror, Ignacia found herself a perfect fit. The clothes are good when worn instead of displayed with a hanger. The shoes her mother chose also fit perfectly.

"True, it feels more comfortable too."

"Tomple her hair let mama set it. It's been a long time since mom's been arranging your hair." Her mother stood behind Ignacia, appearing in the mirror image. If you remember all this time Ignacia let her hair unravel or Athira who styled. For a long time her hair had not been touched by her mother. This woman behind him was too busy that Ignacia did not care about her hairstyle.

Time quickly passed, unexpectedly the night that Ignacia would be invited to dinner finally came. Rajendra came as scheduled, Ignacia was also waiting on the terrace as usual. The girl's father was too busy helping out in the kitchen to see her son being picked up by a man.

"Let Rajendra pick you up, don't come alone. My mom said it was better."

Rajendra's smile expands perfectly, his favorite girl appears with a stunning dress and a hairstyle that fits perfectly with her reserved personality. Coupled with a thin makeup sweep that more liven up Rajendra's favorite face. Her parents must be happy to see Ignacia tonight.

Not to forget in the hands of the girl there is a box of cake that is still warm, just a few minutes out of the oven. Ignacia prepared a cake that her lover's parents felt sure to like. Rajendra said he wanted to eat Ignacia's cake again, so that's what the girl made this afternoon. Driving with Ignacia is like being in a walking pastry shop. The smell of the cake is delicious.

"Bring souvenirs such as fruit parcels or foods that Rajendra's parents like. I used to bring fruits because my mother wanted to make juice. Just ask Rajendra what his parents want."

The girl wanted to ask whose car was in front of it but it didn't feel necessary. If any of the visiting brothers should have Rajendra tell Ignacia before leaving and plan this meeting. The owner of the house led the way, politely opening the door allowing his lover to enter.

The living room is empty, there is only a woman's bag on one of the sofas and a soccer ball. It sounds like people are busy in the kitchen. Ignacia was asked to wait for a while as she called her parents. Some times Ignacia was like hearing grubs from inside a room next to the living room.

"Don't be nervous, just relax. If Rajendra says his parents like you, there's no reason to be ashamed. The important thing is to remain calm, polite, and polite. Remember all three, Ignacia. Don't be so stiff. Don't forget to smile kindly too."

Ignacia breathes out long, regulating the ria-discovered heartbeat. His hands were cold, the warmth of the cake in his hands was as if it could not be channeled. Just setting foot inside the house was already trembling, what if Rajendra's parents had already appeared before him? I hope Ignacia can control herself.

A strange feeling came to Ignacia's heart. Behind the wall close to the next room appeared a little boy who seemed to still be sitting in elementary school. Rajendra had no younger brother, let alone this little sister. The boy still peeked long enough. Even a woman appeared from the kitchen. "There are guests, you should give greetings" said the woman to the child.

"I heard Rajendra has a sister, so don't forget to say hello to Rajendra's sisters too."

The woman and the child she spoke with appeared before Ignacia. Ignacia's back was shaken by the little boy while the woman he apparently called the mother reached out first. "You're Rajendra's lover? It's nice to meet you. Hopefully we can get along." Who is this woman? Why would you say that to her?

Slowly Ignacia shook the hand of the woman before her, smiling as graciously as possible. This woman and her son are probably the car owner's guests up front. "Hello, greetings know me Ignacia." It felt like asking but Ignacia was too embarrassed. The fall could be wrong.

"Amira, have you met Ignacia?" Another, softer woman's voice drew Ignacia's attention. Ignacia's mother appeared, directly approaching the guest. "The aunt was still preparing food so it was too late to welcome you. You're so pretty." It feels like going back in time.

Ignacia's face flushed. Can't believe I'm going to hear that simple phrase again. Ignacia tries as calmly as possible to shake hands with her lover's mother, kissing the back of her hand alternately with Rajendra's newly-emerged father. "Why didn't you get called when Ignacia came?" The man smiled, greeting warmly.

Rajendra's father's gaze was so similar to his lover's. Coincidentally this lover was also looking at him while holding a wide smile. Perhaps the nervousness of Ignacia that he was very familiar with became his own entertainment. Her daughter was in the midst of the warmth of her family. Something that has never happened before.

Ignacia almost forgot to hand over a box of cookies in her hand. "Tante, I brought you a chocolate cake. Just make it yourself." The cake box was presented to his lover's mother, the smell of the cake shop that had been smelled before entering appeared again. His nervousness must have stopped his sense of smell for a moment.

"Let me take her to the kitchen. I didn't know you were good at making cakes. It smells so good." Seeing her mother carrying something smelling good, the boy behind her wanted to reach for the box. "Let's have a meal with Aunt Ignacia. Now we go to the kitchen." The woman named Amira took her son in her arms, disappearing behind a wall.

Rajendra's mother's hand rests on Ignacia's shoulder, embracing the daughter her youngest child likes to take to the kitchen. It's time for dinner. Ignacia is told that the woman who met her in front was Rajendra's first brother. Apparently not guests who come, but family members who come from far away.

In the kitchen, Amira was already with her husband. A family meeting took place there. The man who was helping his wife pass the pot was named Qabil while his son was named Maaz. The man shakes hands with Ignacia, only to realize that this is his future sister-in-law. Maaz hides behind his mother's body, whining to eat cake.

As the dinner begins, Rajendra sits beside Ignacia opposite Rajendra's sister and brother-in-law and Maaz in the middle. Rajendra's mother is at the other table facing the husband. Ignacia was used to the crowded dining table, so there was no problem when Rajendra's sister's family joined.

Rajendra brought a lot of chatter so that Ignacia could get along well. Several times his left hand touched the edge of his lover's seat as a code if everything went well and there was nothing to worry about. Ignacia loved being in the midst of this family warmth she had never felt before. Everyone took it well.

"Praise Rajendra's parents' food. Remember, do it as smoothly as possible and don't overdo it."

Without Ignacia praising it seems to have been seen if the girl likes Rajendra's mother's cooking. From the aroma when entering the kitchen alone is making you hungry, let alone sit and enjoy it. Ignacia, however, tried to give her the most praise she could. Perhaps one day Ignacia could be taught how to cook well and properly.

From the other side of the table, Rajendra's brother also seemed to be interested in his sister-in-law's candidate. Ever since asked about Ignacia's life. Especially after Rajendra's mother discussed about graduation her son came to her favorite girl. Rajendra leaves early in the morning because the train that comes during the day is not operating. His son waited a long time to find Ignacia.

"Wah looks like Rajendra likes you so much. Since when are you dating? Where did you meet?" Before replying Ignacia glanced towards Rajendra. The man was also confused as to how. With his prank, Amira laughed softly, "No, don't answer me. I'm just joking. It feels weird when asked like that, Ignacia?"

The girl laughed stiffly, occasionally glancing at her lover for help.
