Bianca has been in Melvin's car at the moment, both of whom have walked far enough to get to the parking lot.
"Where do you live?" ask Bianca.
The engine of the car that was originally turned on and ready to go, turned off Melvin, he changed his sitting position to face Bianca.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to disturb your focus."
Melvin smiled and nodded, Bianca again and again made it difficult to control her heartbeat due to Melvin's gaze.
"You want to talk about a lot of things?" ask Melvin.
"No, forget it, maybe you're tired and want to get home soon."
"That's not true, we can talk here until whenever you want."
"Can't you stop staring at me?"
"Isn't this the ethics of talking to someone?"
Bianca was silent, but it felt too misbehaving, Bianca was not used to being stared at like that by a man.
"Do you mind, if you mind, we can go straight home."
"No, I'm just not used to that kind of look."
"If it's like that, from now on you should start getting used to this kind of gaze."
Bianca was silent, she smiled looking back at the man in front of her.
"How old are you?" ask Melvin.
"19, two more months just 20."
"really?"
"Yes, of course I'm right, I'm only 19."
"Then, why are you joining this show, you can still look for others out there?"
"Let's see, obviously, I want to find my prince, and maybe here I can find him."
"And you found me, does that mean I'm the prince you want?"
Bianca smiled, hopefully it was like that, and hopefully Melvin like what he wanted so far.
"I'm looking for a partner to marry, not to date."
"Yes, that's what it's supposed to be."
"But you're 19."
"I'm not 15 years old, I can get married, besides the rest of my 19 years are only 2 months away."
"And you're ready to get married?"
"How old are you?"
"24, and 2 months is exactly 25."
Bianca was silent, really like that, what is possible if they were born on the same date.
"Aren't I enough to get married?"
"Yes, of course."
"But I want to marry you."
Bianca went back to silence, didn't they know each other before, what if she wasn't the woman Melvin wanted her to be.
"You're going to reject me?"
"No, it's just, we better get to know each other first."
"So, you want to ask me out?"
"No, we know each other first, maybe the fact is I'm not the woman you want, and it could be the other way around too right?"
Melvin nodded, for some reason he was so reluctant to turn away from Bianca, he held on with his gaze towards the woman.
"Alright, it seems like there's still a lot to talk about, but now it's night, I'm gonna get mad at your parents if it's too late to take you home."
Bianca glanced at the clock on her wrist, right it was also 11 pm, Bianca would definitely get scorned by the house people.
"Where's your house?"
"Near the hospital ahead there."
Melvin nodded and turned away, he restarted his car, and drove away.
"Tomorrow holidays, do you have events outside the house?" ask Melvin.
"It looks like yes, I'm going to Cafe Mentari."
"For what?"
"Some, I've been invited there."
"Can I come?"
"Please, it's a public place, anyone can come."
"What time, I'll come with you."
"Once 4pm."
"There at home, I'm helping you make a cake."
Melvin nodded without saying anymore, his eyes were already very sleepy, and he should focus on driving.
"Right turn, my house is a green fence."
Melvin followed him, looking for the green fence in question.
"That's my house, indeed" pointed out Bianca.
Melvin saw it, he stopped the pace of his car, not too bad, although not as luxurious as his house, but it was a proper minimalist house.
"Yes, I'm not a son of a successful businessman, I'm just a son of a cake maker."
Melvin turned his head, Bianca had made him want to look into those two eyes again.
"But take it easy, I'm on this show, not looking for a rich guy I can spend his money on."
Melvin smiled, was it that way, and hopefully it was.
"Well, I have to go in, and you have to go home, too."
"Do I have to drive you in?"
"Maybe it's better."
The two smiled, they then went out and walked closer to the fence when Bianca's hand was raised, the fence was opened first.
"It's good for you, yes" said a woman behind the gate.
"Mom, why haven't you slept?"
Melvin was silent, so the woman was the baker Bianca had meant earlier.
"Is it worth it like this, running around till midnight like this with men?"
"Mother ...."
"We've only been together for a few hours, we just met tonight" Melvin said.
"Who are you?"
"Melvin" he said, extending a hand.
"Mother, he's the guy who chose me to do it."
For a moment the woman was silent, until she finally shook Melvin's hand.
"Darling," he said.
Melvin nodded and kissed the back of his hand respectfully, Mayang glanced at his smiling daughter looking at it.
"I made him late tonight" Melvin said, letting go of his hands.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not lying if your daughter's okay."
Mayang did not flinch, he glanced at Melvin's luxury car there, whether the man chose his daughter, but how could Mayang realize if his daughter was far from classy impression.
"Mother" call Bianca.
Mayang blinked and glanced at the two alternately.
"Alright, thank you for bringing my son home, but you should also go home because it's time to rest."
Melvin nodded, he glanced at Bianca beside him, perhaps he would be able to miss her after parting ways, and if that happened then Melvin would not change his decision to choose Bianca.
"Don't look at my daughter like that, it's not very polite of you."
Melvin lowered his head for a moment, well he had forgotten the existence of Mayang nearby.
"Now you go home, and don't be like this anymore."
"Okay, please forgive me again."
"Well, it doesn't matter, go."
"Yes, if you'll excuse me" Melvin told Bianca.
"Be careful."
Melvin nodded, he glanced back at Mayang, and greeted him until he finally entered the car and left.
"What is true you say?"
"Mother, did I ever lie, tonight I've found the prince of my dreams, doesn't he look good?"
Mayang smiled and nodded, Bianca was so happy with the night, she turned around and grabbed both of Mayang's hands.
"I'll take care of him, I won't let him go."
"Bianca."
"I like it, Mommy."
Bianca turned back around without letting go of Mayang's hand, she was so happy for her encounter with Melvin.
"It's funny" Melvin said.
Apparently the man stopped his car some distance from Bianca's house, he could still see the two women there through the rearview mirror of his car.
"Until that's how she reacts."
Bianca was still acting there, she looked so happy, jumping indistinctly and spinning like she was dancing with Mayang.
