Chick Intern And Duda Cool
Chapter 198 Tension in the Morning

The Kuswan family was enjoying breakfast dishes as usual at the dining table located not far from the living room.

There was no wall divider between the two, just a one-meter tall cupboard with a few flower vases on it.

All gathered except Arya who was on a business trip out of town. The atmosphere was a bit quieter compared to before. Although actually Arya also does not talk much while eating.

He's been answering more questions or the last few weeks he's been busy with his wife.

Inggit seemed busy asking Bi Rumi to prepare what he asked for. Especially for Kuswan food that requires special attention.

Inggit was rarely directly involved in the cooking process - cooking in the kitchen, but he remained the busiest sexy.

Downstream back and forth, until sometimes Kuswan asked him to sit down.

"Ma already. Later also Bi Rumi will bring all the food here. Do not go back and forth like an iron.", said Kuswan called his wife.

Mba Andin also brought two of her krucils who had woken up to greet their grandparents.

After that, Rafa and Samawa also sat neatly with Andin who was in the middle of the two.

Since yesterday Rafa and Samawa did not get along after fighting over a toy. Two different toys were purchased. Andin has said that the two toys can be purchased as long as they are used interchangeably.

He had asked both of them to vote but did not get a decision. He also should not spoil them by obeying all their requests, especially about toys.

Eventually Andin bought both of the different toys and the two agreed to wear them in turn.

Somehow the two even quarreled and threw the toy at each other. They both cry.

Rafa had to be evacuated to Dinda's room for a while last night. In fact, the two never throw each other even though it is not denied that they are often at odds.

Yesterday was the second most intense and longest dispute. Even the two still do not want to be close together. The proof, this morning Andin had to sit in the middle of them.

In addition, there was another unusual thing that emerged from Ibas. Not usually Ibas has been sitting neatly at the dining table.

Not only Dinda, but mama papa was also made somewhat surprised this morning. In fact, Ibas became the first to sit at the dining table with neat clothes although not formal but more casual.

“Arya when to go home, Din?”, asked Kuswan while enjoying a piece of rolled bread on his plate.

Today, the breakfast theme from Bi Rumi is a typical Malaysian breakfast with roti canai and sambal eggplant.

A very unique breakfast to enjoy a sunny morning. Of course, regular menus such as breads, sandwiches, and omelets are also available following each taste.

Dinda must have taken the sandwich. Ibas has definitely taken everything. And cereal for little Rafa and Samawa.

They were busy eating but occasionally kept chatting with each other in a slow voice.

The distance between Dinda and Kuswan's seats was far, so questions from Kuswan broke the silence that morning.

“If you follow the actual target is still next week, Pa. Mas Arya said the reason was because it took seven to ten days there until the initial phase of the project was completed. But Mas Arya is trying to make her meetings more efficient. Maybe Arya mas will reduce unnecessary meetings in order to go home faster, pa.”, replied Dinda stop her eating activities first and answered Kuswan's questions.

“Sorry yes, Arya is indeed her routine like that. You must be lonely.”, said Inggit giving attention.

“However, ma. Mas Arya calls Dinda every morning and night. According to Dinda, Arya mas has given tremendous effort to be able to contact Dinda routine like that.”, replied Dinda smiling.

"After all, this is an unexpected business trip. Suddenly the team leader who was in charge of this project was attacked by unknown people in the parking lot, so Arya would inevitably have to replace, Pa, Ma", said Dinda explained.

"Alhamdulillah, now Dinda has started to get used to the routine of Aryan mas in a super busy office. Although not used to being left behind, but Dinda understands kok, pa, ma. Maybe because Dinda also works at the same company. So, Dinda knows very well what Arya mas.", continued Dinda again.

In the past, Dinda was never as open as this when talking to papa and mama aka in-laws. But, as time went on, plus Inggit and Kuswan who did make him feel comfortable, Dinda was no longer reluctant to chat long.

Dinda is also grateful because Arya gave attention to her. It looks small, but Dinda knows it takes a lot of effort.

Routinely contact him, make time for conversation, and over time, communication strengthens their relationship.

Yeah, Arya almost never did this to Sarah before. Because they both have the same thoughts.

Sarah wanted the opposite. He wants Arya to contact him, but she feels it's not pro and undoes it. Finally, that curiosity piled up and exploded in his heart.

“Oooo.. rarely - rarely, Arya mas hold her personal HP routine. Even mama was once a century new to call.”, said Ibas who increasingly saw increasingly significant changes from Arya.

‘Can men change like that?’, sometimes Ibas also often think so.

Silence - silent, since long ago Ibas made Arya as a role model. Of course, he was not willing to tell his older brother that.

He became a fan in silence except for love affairs, long ago. Although Aryan mas is almost perfect in every way, but not for love.

Now, it seems like Ibas is slowly changing his opinion. He judged, Arya is getting better. Imagine, for a man like Arya, how could he marry a woman he didn't know at all. A woman much younger than him.

'Hm.. What is this thing called feeling a mother? Mama can choose a wife who is indeed Arya need.', Ibas thought in his heart.

"Oh, Arya mentioned it to papa yesterday. So, how did that happen? not that supervision in the office area should be tighter, huh?", continued Kuswan asked out of curiosity.

While waiting for an answer from Dinda, she continued to sip her special smoothie this morning.

"Still don't know, Pa. Who did it and why was it there. If you hear the development told by Aryan mas, most likely the culprit is only one person" said Dinda.

"Mas Arya guessed, the real culprit was still the person in the office as well. I don't know who, Pa. Because as you mentioned earlier, the office area has strict guard from security guards. So, it is impossible for outsiders to come in and do something like that and get out again easily" Dinda added.

"Rubber too. But, it's also good they check all incoming visitors in that hour range. The person who is not from that office and has no clear affairs, deserves to be suspected. This is no trivial thing. Until he entered the hospital, right?", replied Kuswan.

"Yes, pa.", Dinda nodded - nodding at the sight of Kuswan.

He had not even gore any more of his ijo bean porridge as he waited for Kuswan to finish speaking.

After talking about the topic, the atmosphere of the dining table was silent for a while. Everyone is busy eating.

Sometimes, Dinda felt bad because she was eager to help the service, but, Inggit always forbid it.

Even before she became pregnant, Inggit had already banned her. Dinda can only help while on vacation, national holidays, or weekends. The rest cannot.

Especially now that she is pregnant. Inggit strictly forbade her to go to the kitchen, unless she wanted to make her pregnant milk.

For that reason, Inggit has given a message to Arya, every time he has time, he must make it for Dinda.

'Pregnant are both. Just because the baby is in Dinda's stomach doesn't mean Arya isn't obligated to contribute. He should be the one who is more busy. Not only in physical form, but also in attention.'

“Oiya ma. Starting today I don't work freelance anymore. I got an offer from a start-up company. The address is still in line with the Arya and Dinda.” mas companies, Ibas said putting down his spoon and fork before making an announcement to everyone.

Ibas' voice just now, successfully broke the silence that only lasted a few minutes.

“Good... What company is it, bus?”, asked Kuswan enthusiastically to hear the announcement of his most bontot son.

“Start-up, Dad. They are engaged in online gaming. One of the largest companies in Asia, Pa. Here, Ibas became a full-time employee. Not freelance anymore. His office is also only 1 km from the Arya.” mas office, replied Ibas.

“You don't want to work in a place that has a brilliant future? Why instead choose to work in a gaming company that is not clear ends? In that case, what is the difference between you freelance by working in a gaming company?”, Kuswan said in a firm tone.

Kuswan even put his spoon on the table and caused a rowdy sound. This surprised Dinda, Rafa and Samawa.

A correct response was not predicted by everyone sitting in that chair.

Including mba Andin who was also surprised even though Kuswan was his father. Dinda moreover.

This was the first time he had seen Kuswan emit emotions in front of him. Not with Dinda.

After Kuswan placed the fork and spoon on the table, he then stood up from his chair.

“Pa, the gaming company also has a bright future. Then and now it's different. Many companies with new core businesses are emerging along with technological developments. It doesn't have to be just in a company like Arya.”, said Ibas, who surprised everyone there.

Usually, he prefers not to rub what his father says or reverse it with a joke. But, this time he responded loudly.

“You better continue your medical studies compared to a career like this. It is up to when such a company can survive.”, Kuswan said before continuing his steps towards the room.

“Papa is always more pro to Aryan mas, whatever he does. Even when he continued his studies in a place that papa did not like. But papa still defended him. Why not Arya who graduated in medicine. Why did papa vent it on me?”, Ibas seemed to forget whoever was there and took out his uneg.

A very warm breakfast turned into tension.

The awkward atmosphere arrived - arriving as Kuswan left the dining table and walked to his room.

"Grandfather has finished eating?", the question from Safa is the only one that can make the situation not awkward anymore.

"Ibas, you've just left. Mom will talk to papa. Papa's words just now don't think too much. You left with Dinda, didn't you this morning?", Inggit immediately distracted his son.

********

“You're okay - what?”, after a few minutes on the way, Dinda just dared to ask Ibas.

Since entering their family, since setting foot in the house and bearing the status of Aryan's wife, not once did Dinda ever see Ibas emotions. Even when trivia stuff like his car was confiscated by his papa for smoking, he just made it sound trivial with jokes.

But, this morning, Dinda saw a new side of Ibas. Although Dinda regretted the tension this morning, but Dinda salute the establishment of Ibas who can maintain what was his choice.

‘I can't voice anything that I want at home. No, I don't want to voice it out for fear that Mother is disappointed and worried. He has a lot of things in his head. I can't make him suffer more than that.’, Dinda thought inwardly.

There is a thing called ‘Privilege’, where not everyone can have it. There are options to take regardless of whether or not there is ‘Privilege’.

‘Kira - think what would Mas Arya do if he was there, yes.’, thought Dinda in heart.

“Why? How do you think I look? Fine or not?”, instead of answering, Ibas asked back.

“Why did you ask back.”, asked Dinda confused.

“Hm... It looks like you look good - fine.”, although confused, Dinda still answered it.

“Haha. so dong. I’m fine's. It’s ok. You're shocked, huh?”, finally Ibas whom he knew back.

From first getting into his car, Dinda was like getting Dejavu. She felt the same aura as Arya when she first met or when the man was angry.

“Gapapa... This is not the first time really, papa so. I'm used to it. Probably the first time since you married Mas Arya. Somehow papa wanted me to take medical college, but I did not want and did not continue.”, explained Ibas.

“Why you? What about Arya mas?”, asked Dinda did not understand.

“Hem. But when Papa sees the potential of other Aryan mas, he asks Arya mas to study in American business majors. But, Arya mas also rebel. He even moved to another campus.”, said Ibas let out his smile.

“Because mba Sarah, yes?”, asked Dinda.

“Anyway, all has become the past.”, replied Ibas.

“Hn. I've been unaffected by that, kok.”, Dinda replied confidently.

“Wooo. It used to be still often confused in the back garden to think of the former Arya mas.”, asked Ibas.

“Humm. But, I try to keep trusting Arya.” mas, Dinda replied in a serious tone.

“Wooh..seriously very expression.”, goda Ibas.

“I don't mean to interfere. But, you will talk again with papa?”, asked Dinda doubtfully.

“It’s okay. Hm.. of course I will talk about it later, with the help of Arya.” mas, replied Ibas with a smile.
