Chick Intern And Duda Cool
Chapter 8 Visiting Part 1
Today was the busiest day of Ratna's life. From morning he had gone back and forth the kitchen preparing for dinner later. Kuswan and Inggit will come to visit the house. The clock shows at 7 p.m. Chances are, they'll be up to about half an hour away.
Dinda was ready in the room. She looked at her phone while looking at some to-do-lists for her work next week. Strange and stressful times like these, Dinda chose to think about work.
He no longer wanted to think about this match. Let it flow like water. No matter how many times, he could not choose. The fixed option falls to the same option. Married to Aunt Inggit's son is the best path for everything. He also considered this in return for the kindness of Aunt Inggit.
“Assalamu’alaikum.”, from the front already heard a voice that he was very familiar with. Arga rushed forward after being told by his mother. Arga opened the door, greeted the two, and let them in.
At first Kuswan was going to sit in the living room, but Ratna immediately came and told them to go straight to the dining table.
“Eat first. Later when it is full, we just chat.”, said Ratna. He did not want anything later that became their conversation to affect the dishes that had been provided on the dining table. Apart from this matchmaking event, Ratna had indeed long wanted to entertain them a meal.
Ratna called out to Dinda. Kuswan could not hide his stunned face with the figure of a girl named Dinda. That's right said Inggit. Not because of her beauty, but because of Dinda's aura.
One look, they were immediately convinced that Dinda was a good girl - kind and suitable to be juxtaposed with Arya.
More precisely, a girl like this should be reserved as soon as possible before being struck by another family.
Dinda is beautiful, but it is undeniable that many other girls out there are much prettier. Sarah, Arya's ex-wife, may even be prettier than Dinda.
But this girl had more value that maybe the other girl didn't have. Different when he saw Sarah, Arya's ex-wife. Kuswan feels very comfortable when meeting, meeting, and communicating with Dinda. It feels like a child of its own.
Lebai. And it was Kuswan's expression and judgment when listening to Inggit's words that seemed to exaggerate - more than Dinda. But at this moment Kuswan understood what Inggit meant.
His confidence grew when he saw and interacted directly with Dinda while enjoying a dinner from Ratna. He is very polite, his way of talking to soft parents, but occasionally can show his passionate side to the younger brother.
Some basic questions - stale Kuswan was taken seriously. And this made Kuswan unable to hold back his laughter. This girl is so innocent, he thought.
As almost all of them seemed to have finished eating, Kuswan started to get into the core of their meeting tonight.
“A month ago, Inggit told Ratna that we want and hope that Dinda can be part of our family. I hope Ratna has already delivered it to Dinda.”, Kuswan said in a soft voice to Ratna.
Inggit smiled at Dinda while continuing to listen to her words, Kuswan told Ratna. Dinda smiled back at Inggit. Inggit only wished inwardly that the smile was a sign that Dinda approved of his wish.
“Mas Kuswan, mba Inggit, honestly, actually I was surprised when I first told Inggit this to me. How could the child of a family like us could attract the attention of mba Inggit and even want to be betrothed to the first son mba Inggit. I felt inappropriate...”, before Ratna resumed the word - he said. Inggit cut it off.
“You don't say that. It is precisely we who are very afraid now if - if Dinda is not willing.”, said Inggit. He did not want Ratna to say such a thing again.
“Mba. we never once forgot all the goodness of mba. Not to mention we can pay for all the good - the good. And mba gave us another favor. I have spoken to Dinda, she agrees mba.”, replied Ratna.
Ratna's last words made Kuswan and Inggit breathe a sigh of relief. They smiled broadly while looking at Dinda. Dinda also let out her smile. Seeing these people in front of him made him not to the heart to show his true feelings. Dinda still smiled warmly even though at this time her heart was tight - thin because she was very worried.
A week ago.
“Papa knows now papa like a selfish old man. But papa can't think of any other way to stop your already wild actions. Papa has run out of ideas during these three years facing you.”, said Kuswan who is still lying in a hospital bed.
“Maybe by giving you a new responsibility as a man, can change your life for the better. At least can restore the old you, Papa is grateful”, continued Kuswan.
“Pa, I live well. My career is good, I work seriously. I don't play like you think.”, Arya promised her mom not to argue with her dad. But hearing as if he was like a unstable ABG child who wanders around is unclear every day because of his divorce, making Arya need to defend herself.
“Papa know. Papa and Mama never mind your career. But you realize that your soul is empty. You came home late after overtime. Another morning of work, weekend to the club and home drunk. You think life is good just because you work like crazy?”, said Kuswan again with a slightly elevated tone.
Arya let out a long sigh and massaged her forehead. He leaned against the wall, looked up at the sky - the hospital sky and shook his head back several times until he hit the wall. He could not and did not want to refute Kuswan's words.
“Trus papa want me how?”, said Arya frustrated.
“Next week papa equally mom want to go to aunt Ratna's house to officially ask her son, Dinda married you.”, replied Kuswan.
Arya laughed a little with a cynical tone. He shook his head. Not to refuse but to show his insecurities.
“Okay, and then?”, ask again briefly. He couldn't believe that his father and mother had come up with such a ridiculous idea.
“Papa hope two months from now you can get married. “, said Kuswan who suddenly made Arya lose her mind. From outside his face was still calm but could not hide his insecurities.
Although Inggit had invited him to speak before, but still, hearing this idea directly from his rigid and logical papa made Arya not believe in all this.
