Desmala Gralind
Dinner

In the evening at the Gralind residence everything was neat to go to the Hermawan residence. That afternoon I don't know if there was any wind that Andi Hermawan contacted Herman. He said that he would return to Jakarta today. And he wants the Gralind family to come over for dinner at his house.

And Herman who already considered Andi as his good friend did not refuse. He gladly accepted the invitation from his friend.

"Udah ready? let's go" said Herman.

"Udah pa" replied Mala.

The Gralinds leave for Hermawan's house. Arriving in front of his security gate greeted the Gralind family cordially. And let them in.

Upon entering the house, the art of the Hermawan house leads them to the dining table. And there was Rakha and Andi Hermawan's father.

Upon the arrival of the Gralind family they immediately stood up to welcome their arrival.

"Herman"

"Paul"

They both hugged each other.

"A long time, haven't we met?" andi.

"Yes 17 years old" replied Herman.

"Know, this is my wife Alisia, and beside her my daughter Mala" Herman introduced his wife and child.

"Alisa"

"Paul"

"Mala om"

"Paul"

"Oh yes, know this is my son Rakha" said Andi introduced her son.

"Rakha" Rakha told Mala's parents.

"Come on, please sit down" Andi said.

Mala, and her parents sat at the dinner table.

"So how is your business growing?" ask Andi.

"Well, as you've seen" replied Herman.

"You've always loved to be humble" joked Andi.

"Oh yes mbak Alisia, if not the wrong owner of Alisia Glow? skincare products are famous in Indonesia" said Andi.

"Yes right" Alisia replied.

"What a talented family" Andi replied.

Herman and alisia just chuckled with Andi's praise.

"And Mala om hear you've won the Olympics in school several times?"

"Yes, um"

"What is Mala doing now?" andi asked a little curious about the daughter of the Gralind family. Because he is rarely highlighted because the Gralind family just introduced him at the age of 17 years to the public.

"As you know I'm busy at school" Mala replied. He really didn't like the way Andi asked. Like there was something he wanted to investigate.

"Hm you're just like your parents, you like to be humble"

In the conversation, Andi accidentally caught his son and daughter Gralind looking. Andi smiled strangely looking at that.

"Mala, you're not a schoolmate to Rakha?" ask Andi.

"Yes, um"

"If Rakha isn't ignorant, are you? he's his son who likes to be ignorant" kekeh Andi.

"Not really om. Rakha is kind to me and several times he has broken me"

"Oh yeah, what's it from?"

"I wanted to be kidnapped, Rakha's son"

"Good Rakha, you must take care of the women. Especially Mala" said Andi staring at Rakha. However, no one knew the meaning of those eyes except Rakha.

"Yes pa"

"By 9, we should end this conversation and eat" Andi said.

"Yes well" replied Herman.

At the dinner, Mala and Rakha could not say much. Both can only listen to their parents' chat about business.

After returning from the event, Mala wanted to ask her parents but she hesitated a little.

"Pa" call Mala.

"Why?"

"Not be me"

"You're!"

"Go to the room first" said Mala.

"Yes sleep yes, do not stay up late" said Alisia.

After closing the door to his room. Mala again remembered the look in Andi's eyes when questioning his parents and himself. And it was very clear when Andi looked at Rakha. Like there was a spark in his eyes.

"What is the same about Andi? why is it like there is something burning in his eyes" said Mala Lirih.

"But I must also remain vigilant" Mala's inner self.

Mala recalled the events after her birthday. At that time, Mala introduced her parents to the public. Since then everything changed, the kidnappers have never harassed Mala. Her life has been calm all along.

"It seems I should be able to take care of myself" said Mala.

.

In the morning, she went back to school with Rakha. Along the way, the two were silent. At school, both remained silent. Nobody starts the conversation.

"Racha!" call Mala.

"Yes?"

"Do you know where to learn martial arts?" ask Mala.

"Self? make what?"

"I want to learn"

"No, I can take care of you"

Rakha's words made Mala seem to fly. Rakha's words are sweet.

"You're not always beside me" Mala replied.

Hearing the words of Mala there is a point also Rakha finally obeyed the wishes of Mala.

"If so later go home to school we will make a list of you" rakha replied.

"Really?"

"Yes"

Mala was so happy that she jumped up and down with excitement and reflexes hugging Rakha.

When Mala realized her actions were stupid. He immediately released his embrace from Rakha.

"I'm sorry unintentionally" Mala replied.

"Not deliberately to make me unable to breathe" Rakha's inner, inexplicably she felt nervous when Mala hugged her.

"Yes not papa"

"Udah let's go to class" Mala asked him to walk first. Rakha followed him from behind.

***

After school Rakha immediately invited Mala to the karate training ground. Where is where Mala will be listed.

"Excuse me, my friend wants to sign up here!" Rakha.

"Please fill out the form"

After filling out the form Mala can already take classes next Sunday. Mala happened to get practice time on Friday Saturday and Sunday.

Finished with the registration Mala and Rakha directly left the place.

"Racha!"

"why!"

"Thank you!"

"Make what?"

"Everything" Mala replied.

Then the two are silent and enjoy the afternoon atmosphere in the city of Jakarta which is filled with traffic jams.

Arriving at Mala's house, Rakha immediately returned home. Actually Mala wondered why Rakha never wanted to stop by his house first. And always want to go home quickly.

"Maybe he has business times huh, so hurry up" Inner Mala.

Mala entered the house and how surprised he saw a sandal that was very familiar to him.

"Oma!!" mala shouted towards the living room.

"Omaa, Mala's kangen!" mala knocked on the guest room door.

Someone opened the door. The woman smiled gently at Mala. Her wrinkled face did not fade her beauty.

"This you, just returned home from school was screaming" he said with Mala's ear.

Oma Lia, the woman who loved Mala. Even more than his own daughter. For Oma Lia grandchildren are more important than her children.

"Udah Oma later Mala's ear is broken" Mala said. And sure enough, Oma Lia immediately let go of the jewel.

"Sick tau Oma" Mala replied with a frown while stroking her ear that felt hot.

"Who told you to scream, you're a girl"

"Yes Oma sorry"

"Oma when is it coming?" ask Mala.

"So morning"

Don't forget like and comen...
