Chick Intern And Duda Cool
Chapter 11 Awkward and Silence Part 2

“Arya, you really have a business trip?”, said Inggit while helping Arya tidy up the clothes in her suitcase.

Inggit had not been taking care of Aryan needs for a long time. They have been living 5 years apart and only a few months back to live in the same house.

Inggit just wanted to make sure Arya wasn't lying. Today she and Dinda will be fitting clothes, choosing jewelry, and various other wedding preparations. Inggit desperately wants Arya to be able to accompany them. It's also a weekend. But he went abroad on a job.

“The girl, sorry in front of there is non Dinda.”, said Bi Rumi approached Inggit in Arya's room.

“Oh.. prospective daughter-in-law mama has arrived apparently. Bi Rumi told Dinda to wait a little while, yeah. Don't forget to drink, yeah. Please tell me in a moment I am down.”, said Inggit replied.

“What time is your plane, baby?”, Inggit asked Arya.

“Jam 1.20 *take off, *ma. So in 30 minutes I should be at the airport" replied Arya.

"That's chatty. Chat first with Dinda.", said Inggit proposed.

"So you guys got together with two other employees.”, Arya said as she closed her suitcase.

Looks like some of it's done.

Inggit and Arya went down together. Arya went down the stairs while lifting her suitcase. Dinda could see them from the living room sofa. Bi Rumi told her to wait in the living room because soon Kuswan's acquaintance would also come to the house.

“You are so beautiful Dinda. A week did not meet you, aunty so kangen, loh.”, said Inggit directly approached Dinda.

Dinda automatically immediately clumsily heard the words - said Aunt Inggit. Instead of making the atmosphere melt, Inggit instead made his position even more awkward.

While Arya immediately looked into the kitchen while leaving her suitcase under the stairs. Arya did not even glance towards Dinda.

“Arya no business trip abroad, you know ga?”, said Inggit. He still wants to be sure again.

The more here, Inggit becomes a crisis of confidence in Arya.

“Sorry aunt, Dinda did not know, but yesterday the meeting time, Dinda heard that there was going to Singapore for 1 week.

“Arya, did you not tell Dinda if you have a trip abroad? Mama also recently you infoin last night.”, said Inggit in a tone pretending to be upset.

“Ma, I told you a month ago. After we had dinner with Dinda's family, I also talked. Mama aja who forgot.”, Arya arrived - arrived from the kitchen carrying a tumblr that likely contains coffee and a box of sandwiches.

Arya was still standing in response to the protest from Inggit. He held onto his suitcase, intending to shift it into the living room.

“You chatted for a while with Dinda, yeah. Two weeks from your application, next week you'll be back here. There is no time for conversation. Mama is ready - ready for a moment.”, Inggit got up from his seat and went into a room not far from the living room.

Arya glanced at her mother to make sure that her mother had entered the room.

“Din, come with me for a moment.”, said Arya opening silence while pointing at Dinda and giving the code to talk briefly outside.

His tone immediately changed. Now Dinda is in the office. Is this how it feels to have a relationship with an office person? Weekendpun sense of work.

Arya invites Dinda to talk in the side garden. Although the Kuswan family home is not as big as other houses in the area, but their home yard is quite large. At least enough for Inggit can channel his hobby of caring for ornamental plants.

Inggit put up some park benches there so that at any time they can use for BBQ party with close family.

“You really agreed to this marriage? Just so you know, I've been married for 5 years and divorced. My distance is the same you are also quite far.”, Arya directly entered the core of the conversation as soon as they reached the park beside the house.

There is empty, there are no residents of the house at all so it is suitable to talk about personal problems.

Dinda looked up at Arya. The height that is far adrift also makes it have to be a little head up. Dinda was obviously surprised by Arya's question.

“Meanour question?”, Dinda ventured to ask. She did not know why this man asked her such a thing.

If she asked when her mom first proposed the matchmaking idea, Dinda could still answer it. But now, the dates are set and he just asked Dinda this.

“My first marriage happened because I love my ex-wife the same. We dated for a long time before we finally decided to get married. I do not understand why you can accept this marriage.”, Arya gives serious spotlight on Dinda.

Dinda bit her lower lip a little. He knows where Arya's talking is going.

“Continue, Father himself, why accept this matchmaking?”, Dinda asked back. He wanted Arya to know that it wasn't just him that was curious all along. Dinda is also very curious why Arya did not say anything when this idea first came up.

This idea came from his family. If there was a first party who should have refused, it was him. Not Dinda.

“I'm asking you. Why are you asking me back? I've been married and I consider it a serious decision that I have ever made and the only marriage in my life. “, said Arya firmly.

“I really don't understand your question. If you ask me this when we first met, I can still understand. But, what do you mean to ask this when all the dates have been determined?”, said Dinda in a firm tone.

Arya was silent at Dinda's words. He did not want to say the main reason for accepting this marriage was because it only opened up new things that would actually lead him to greater problems.

Arya is confused as to why Dinda accepted this match. He's married and divorced. Their ages are far away. He must have known how Arya's personality was when he saw her in the office.

Arya was sure this girl would give up halfway. But the more here, everything even goes smoother. The parents have met and the date has also been set. ‘Actually why would Dinda accept it?’

“If anyone has to cancel this wedding, it's not me. Whether you want to be serious or not with this match. I don't care.”, Dinda said out loud but still with a controlled volume.

“I just want to warn you not to spend your future with me. You'll be sorry. I don't know what made you accept this match. But my advice as a person who was married first, you better think again your decision.”, Arya's speech is not less loud with Dinda.

They are the same - equally assertive but still control the volume of the sound so as not to be heard by others.

Dinda began to look at Mr. Arya with a look of disbelief. This man had never spoken to him before this seintens but instead threw a bomb ahead of H day application.

In his heart, Dinda was already shaking violently. From the beginning he was not sure of this marriage. But, hearing the words of Mr. Arya, he became increasingly unsure of his future. Dinda could only take a deep breath. He had no more words to say.

“You have one week to cancel this wedding.”, Mr. Arya passed immediately after saying those words. Dinda could only be silent hearing it. In Dinda's head right now there was only her mother and sister.

She wanted to cry but held it as much as possible.

“Din, what kind of clothes do you like?”, Inggit said. They're already at Inggit's acquaintance's boutique right now. This boutique information he obtained from his arisan acquaintance. When he attended the wedding of the son of his friend, he saw the clothes used were very good. Inggit became interested in trying to find in this boutique.

“I don't know aunt. Everything looks good.”, Dinda said with a smile.

In his head, Dinda is still thinking about the words of Mr. Arya. Dinda had expected something like this to happen, but she did not expect that Mr. Arya's refusal could destroy her pride.

‘If he doesn't like, not seriously, why doesn't he just reject this matchmaking. Why should I? Why did she actually accept this match? She wants me how?’, Dinda keeps asking questions in her heart.

“Din, let's try this shirt.”, said Inggit patting Dinda's shoulder.

This was the third shirt he tried. It was England who chose him because Dinda could not choose which one she wanted. After several turns left and right, looking at the material, they finally dropped the option on a kebaya with a beige peplum model.

Kebaya with sequin details on some sides is very beautiful to use especially for hijab women. Unlike the kebaya application in general, kebaya model peplum fits perfectly paired with classic batik cloth at the bottom.

Inggit considered Dinda who was currently wearing a hijab. Kebaya models like this make it look very graceful but stay within the limits of simplicity. It just needs adjustment at some point.

Inggit choose a ready-made kebaya because the time is fixed if you have to order from the beginning. The boutique only needs to release a little more to fit the size of Dinda's body. The process took less than a week.

For the marriage contract, Inggit had wanted to try another boutique suggested by his acquaintances. But, looking at this boutique is already complete, Inggit chose to use the one in this boutique only.

Inggit chose the long white kebaya mode with the Sunda siger. Because this event was only attended by families, Dinda chose to use a kebaya akad that did not sweep the floor like most people. The bottom will also use classic batik cloth.

For men's clothing, Inggit has taken a suit that is commonly used Arya, so just equalized the size.

I don't think they've spent nearly 5 hours in that place. Inggit invited Dinda to eat for a while before driving her home. They stopped at Inggit's favorite restaurant. He used to eat at this restaurant when Andin, Arya, and Baskara when they were little.

“Tante look at you from earlier bengong continue. Why?”, Inggit's been seeing that weirdness ever since they arrived at the boutique. But, Inggit chose to undo the intention of asking. He thinks maybe Dinda's just tired.

But Dinda kept daydreaming even when they were in front of the delicacies on the table.

“Engga kok aunty. Time passes quickly, tomorrow is Sunday, and it is Monday again.”, replied Dinda smiling knot.

He doesn't understand what he's saying. He just doesn't want Aunt Inggit to worry.

“Kalo you have a problem, story to auntie, yes. Don't hesitate. Soon we will be a family. Auntie already considers you her own son. But I think you still think aunt is someone else.”, said Inggit a little offensive and make Dinda surprised.

“Engga. Don't be aunty, don't talk like that. Dinda apologized yes, aunt.”, said Dinda slowly.

“Gapa, baby. You tell auntie, what problem do you have?”, asked Inggit again.

“Engga aunt, I just thought about Monday's meeting. I have not prepared the material.”, said Dinda trying to ngeles.

“Oh.. auntie guess why. Work issues will be thought about again. You have to balance work and life. Work Life Balance.”, Inggit said with a smile.

They ended the day with dinner together. Inggit drove Dinda home. Inggit did not take the time to stop by because it was night and Kuswan was also alone at home. His friends have gone home.

Although it is gradually healthy, but Kuswan still needs to be monitored a lot regularly. Moreover, he had undergone surgery.
