A week after the dinner at Ratna's house, it is now Kuswan and Inggit's turn to invite them to a night at home while introducing Arya. He was out of town last week, so there was no time to meet.
And here's Dinda now. He has to take half a day off because Arya is going out of town again this weekend. Either by chance, Arya often goes out of town for work after serious talks with her papa.
Dinda, Ratna, and Arga were already sitting neatly at the dining table of the residence of Kuswan and Inggit which was definitely bigger than their house. Kuswan, used to pursue a career in multinational companies. He is very good at investing so that when he retired, he still had an income and was well established.
Inggit also received some inheritance from his family which he turned again into income - active income. Although not a conglomerate, but they are an affluent family.
“For a while, Arya had a sudden meeting, so it was still on the way home. Maybe we should eat first? The food was ready, the food was cold.”, said Inggit in a friendly tone.
But Ratna, Dinda, and Arga still don't feel good about eating first. Their faces say it all.
“Gapa, he also rarely eats at home, because he has eaten outside with his clients. So gapapa, if we directly eat now.”, said Inggit again while coding Bi Rumi to immediately serve food.
They enjoyed dinner while occasionally chatting lightly. Arga was asked the most - asked because he had just finished the final exam. Kuswan is curious about the plans of a boy who is 4 years younger than his third son.
Baskara, Kuswan's third child is about to graduate from college. He majored in DKV at a private university in Malang. About 40 minutes they ate while chatting, the roar of the speed of the car entering the fence began to sound. It's not wrong, it must be Arya who came. The thoughts of everyone in the house.
Arya parked her car and walked into the house. Bi Rumi was quick to open the door. Shortly afterwards, the stature of the man with a height of 182 cm was immediately visible to the occupants of the house.
Kuswan and Inggit sumringah because this boy did not break his promise. Honestly, they are actually already very worried if Arya arrives - suddenly missing from the event tonight. They can be ashamed.
Ratna smiled with relief when she saw Arya had already entered. Ratna hasn't seen Arya since Inggit moved in. Inggit children rarely get along with neighbors around when they are small. So, Ratna also did not remember how Arya looked.
Despite agreeing with Inggit's idea, Ratna actually had a bit of a concern. What if Arya was too old for Dinda. Given Arya has been married for 5 years and widowed for 3 years.
He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and even felt happy because Arya turned out to be a handsome figure and had an athletic body. Despite being about 11 years adrift with Dinda, it still seems to be compatible.
Even Inggit was happy, from the first impression, it looks Arya will be able to protect this girl.
From far away Arya seemed ordinary. He could already guess the atmosphere tonight at home. He walked towards the dining table without any burden.
However, as he got closer to the dining table, his face was slightly shocked. He knew the girl sitting there. His intelligent brain could already deduce if the girl was the one to be betrothed to him. There were no strangers besides the three people at the dinner table other than his father and mother.
There were only mothers whom he believed to be Aunt Ratna, a teenage boy, and one girl. So, it's definitely the guy.
He recalled the name his father had said while he was still in the hospital.
‘D-I-N-D-A. ****, I think Dinda's name is thousands in this world.’, once the world becomes very narrow for him.
Although in his heart he was very surprised, but Arya seemed to be acting ordinary. He is very expert for ‘stay cool’ because he is used to also face clients - his office clients.
He stood at the dinner table waiting for Kuswan's aba to introduce Ratna, Dinda, and Arga to him.
On the other hand, Dinda feels like a dead flea. Body freezes. The food that was currently in his mouth was powerless to swallow. He stared as he pointed his face at the dish on the plate he was eating.
Dinda panicked. Especially when Arya was sitting next to him because Kuswan asked Arya to fill the empty seat.
No one noticed Dinda's instantly confused face. Because all the attention is now on Arya. Only Arya understood Dinda's face.
But Arya didn't care. From the beginning he had considered all this a joke, so he had only followed the plot.
“Dinda, this is Arya, om's son who wants to mate with you. Arya..”, Kuswan gives Arya a code so she introduces herself to Dinda.
He was no wonder. In the office, he was also very cold. At first, Dinda thought Arya behaved like this only in the office.
Kuswan, Inggit, and Ratna were still shocked.
Hahaahahaha. Soon Kuswan's laughter broke out. Neither he nor Inggit ever asked where exactly Dinda worked. The girl also answered only a multinational company when asked. He did not expect it to turn out Arya was Dinda's superior.
“Papa didn't expect you to have an office. Haha.this is just the name of a soul mate. No wonder we like having an attachment, when we see Dinda.”, Kuswan again said after releasing a laugh as wide as possible.
“Means already familiar dong yes.”, said Inggit.
“Emmm with aunt, I also only occasionally to the room of Mr. Arya. Mr. Arya is not my direct superior, aunt, om, hehe”, Dinda replied quickly correcting Inggit's conclusions while grinning.
He no longer knew what to behave like. Finally he could only smile wryly or laugh foolishly. His hands and feet were sweating and trembling.
“Gapapa, from now on just know each other. So, when Ratna, Inggit, we had her marriage proposal.”, Dinda was shocked - shocked to hear that. His heart had just been beating fast when he saw that the big boss of his division was here. Now Kuswan has spoken about the date of application and marriage.
Instantly Dinda forgot all that and just remembered, she came to this house due to further discussion of the relationship.
‘How is this? Mr. Arya is also very strange. Why is he so relaxed. Impossible diaa??. Even if I was as beautiful as a top artist, she would not be able to accept people carelessly.
He's not the college kid who's being told to get married. He's an adult.’, various thoughts popped into Dinda's head. He still doesn't understand Arya. The man just silently listened to his father and mother talk to Dinda's mother.
‘Pasrah. Accepting also not. Interested in? Or actually he's not interested. He was just as confusing as in the office’, so thought Dinda.
Before long, not since when and out of nowhere. These parents have set the exact date. Dinda was not even aware, she daydreamed into another dimension where only the sizzle of beach sand could be heard.
“Arya, can you take a leave of absence around August? Two weeks to prepare for your wedding and honeymoon.”, said Kuswan. He knew Head level like Arya had a lot of leave rations exceeding employees below him.
“Dinda, how? Could take two weeks off, right? You will definitely be able to leave at least 12 days.”, Kuswan asked but answered it himself.
“A... it's om, aunt... ehmm..”, Dinda answered stamped - brick.
“Cut 3 days should be enough, Pa. Dinda's still an intern. Even though he had a 12-day leave, but he could not miss more than 5 days in a row - participate. The application can be on weekends, one-day weddings, and do not need a honeymoon.”, said Arya without feeling guilty. He casually said it even though Ratna was there. Ratna's face was instantly gloomy.
“Arya, for you this is indeed the second. But for Dinda, it's her first marriage. At least there should be a honeymoon, prewedding, and preparation - another complete preparation.”, Inggit said. Ratna glanced at Inggit and showed a feeling of relief that Inggit had already thought about it.
“Pa, mom, aunt Ratna. Arya apologizes, but Dinda is an intern at the office. He can't take much time off. In addition, Arya will also be busy with various big projects starting next month. Papa and Mama have seen for themselves lately Arya weekend also met a client. If you still want to join papa's timeline, Dinda can lose her job.”
Kuswan. He couldn't find the gap Arya was looking for - look for an excuse. Everything Arya said was true. Kuswan has been khatam about it for a long time. Until his retirement, Kuswan dedicated himself in the office world.
“One more time, in the Aryan office, there should be no relationship outside the co-workers between one division or cross-division interrelated. Because there will be a possibility of impartiality. So, if papa and mama stick with this plan, we should keep this a while from the office. At least until the vacancy Head in Dinda division filled.”, Arya again threw atomic bombs on Kuswan, Inggit, and Ratna.
Again Kuswan knew the rules well. Everything that is said is true. Unless Dinda resigns, they can't be too touting this marriage.
Kuswan also pityed if Dinda had to resign. She knew how enthusiastic the girl was at her job while chatting in Ratna's house. She was also grateful that Dinda wanted to be a part of their family.
“Oke, you are right. Papa can not back down the timeline because papa wants to be as soon as Dinda officially become a papa child. Honeymoon problems later we can arrange some time after marriage. How's ma? Ratna?”, Kuswan said.
‘Should have been asked that I did not.’, cried Dinda in heart. They were discussing something that changed their lives, but they did not even ask their opinion. Mr. Arya also did not look at Dinda.
‘Actually what Mr. Arya is thinking. If I were him, I would marry someone I don't know. One office, subordinates anyway. Just looking at me he almost never.’, until now Dinda still ask questions.
