Discernment
Ch 16's. Darren's shadow

Now Aya and her family and Darren have arrived at a restaurant that is quite famous in the city. Aya herself was very surprised by the graduation party this time, although she said a small party, but she thought it was quite special. And one more thing that made him distrustful was that the party was prepared by Papa Vano, his future father-in-law.

Now Aya has entered the restaurant where some places have been rented to celebrate her graduation day. Papa Vano has stood up to welcome Aya while stretching his hands. With doubtful steps Aya approached ca; her father-in-law was and welcomed her embrace.

“Congratulations yes, Son Aya! Papa is happy on your graduation day.may the knowledge you have gained so far be useful and can realize your ideals.” Papa Vano said sincerely.

“Thank you, Om,-“

“Call Papa! Because soon you'll be Papa's son-in-law.” Papa Vano's.

Aya just nodded. While others are also happy to see the closeness of Aya with her future father-in-law, especially Darren. Somehow Darren's heart was a little disturbed to see the closeness of Aya and her Papa. What if later her father found out about her true relationship with Aya. What if Papa Vano finds out about her divorce plan after marrying Aya.

It is not that Darren wants to force love on Aya or instead force Aya to maintain her marriage later.it is just that Darren is not ready to make her Papa disappointed for the second time.

If Papa Vano was disappointed with his first marriage, although in the end Papa Vano could accept Jenifer. And for this time Darren actually does not want to make his Papa disappointed again, but keep in mind that Aya also has a lover. Of course it is not easy for the woman to leave her lover just for the sake of this matchmaking.that means Aya is the type of loyal woman who always maintains and maintains her relationship.

Now everyone has gathered to enjoy the dishes presented on the table. Aya also receives a gift from Papa Vano, but on behalf of Darren. Maybe Papa Vano deliberately did that so that the relationship of the child and his future son-in-law who is still stiff slowly warmed.

“Thank you, Pa! thank you for all these surprises.” that is all that Aya can say as her gratitude for this little party.

“Already, we better eat first.” Papa Vano said later.

After eating, they finally chose to go home. But Darren asked his father to take Aya first, because he had brought his own car. Likewise with Papa Vano who was escorted by a driver.

Actually Aya wanted to refuse but he did not feel good with Papa Vano. Moreover, both of his parents agreed to go home with Darren.

On the way, as usual the two people must have been quiet with each other. Darren is focused on the streets, while Aya is busy with her own thoughts.

“Thank you.” Said Aya suddenly and made Darren frown.

“Thank you for attending my graduation earlier as well as the surprise party earlier.” continued Aya.

“It wasn't me who made the surprise, but Papa. My arrival was also because of Papa.” Answer Darren as he is.

Instantly Aya's face turned irritated to hear Darren's statement just now. indeed the man was really annoying. Can't just pretend a little good to not make her heart hurt. Or it's Darren's attitude.

Aya finally chose silence and threw her gaze outwards. Darren himself refocused on the wheel. Until without them knowing, Darren's car has entered the yard of Aya's house. Aya immediately came out without saying thank you which in the end must have made her heart even more upset.

“Aya wait!”

Aya stopped her steps when suddenly Darren called out to her.

“This is your doll!” Darren brought a doll belonging to Aya and the doll was given Gandhi earlier. Why when he came out of the moti Darren, instead he brought a bouquet of flowers given Darren rather than a doll given by his lover.

“Thank you!” said Aya reflexively and took the doll from Darren's hand.

Aya was astonished to hear Darren's words just now.It was eager for him to tear apart Darren's mouth that had spoken the origin and had never been filtered first.

“Arghhhh!!! Shitty!” aya shouted as Darren's car turned around. And it turns out that Darren heard it, because the windshield of his car happened to be open.

Darren stopped the car for a moment. And that made Aya surprised. But he soon enters the house rather than dealing again with Darren.

***

After Aya's graduation ceremony and closed with a small party, the night Aya went out to celebrate her graduation with the idol. Of course with the right reason not to be suspected by his mother. Because by chance this afternoon his father was traveling out of town.

Aya is on her way to the hotel where Gandhi is staying. This time the hotel is not the place Gandhi used to stay, but rather a different hotel. Gandhi said to Aya, there was a restaurant at the hotel that he would use to celebrate the graduation party as well as a surprise for Aya.

Upon arrival at the restaurant, Aya immediately headed for one of the visitor seats which was a little further away from the crowd. There was Gandhi standing there to welcome him.

Aya smiled as she approached her lover. They hugged for a moment before finally sitting down to enjoy a romantic dinner.

Aya was very moved by Gandhi's dinner tonight because Gandhi prepared everything perfectly. The violin accompanies their romantic dinner. And at the end of the event Gandhi berkong in front of Aya while thrusting a velvet box maroon berwaran where the contents there is a diamond ring is very good.

“Ayara, will you marry me?” gandhi said with a gentle look at Aya.

Aya was really surprised and happy because Gandhi proposed to her tonight. With confidence and not stalling, Aya answered her lover's proposal steady.

“Iya. I want to be your wife.”

Gandhi put the ring on Aya's ring finger. After that a short peek at the back of Aya's hand. He stood up and embraced Gandhi. Aya was really happy because her proposal tonight was very different from her proposal with Darren at that time.Thankfully Aya never wore an engagement ring from Darren, until when Gandhi proposed to her, he said, the man did not know about his true status.

Gandhi knew, although it was still a long time ago that he would marry Aya. But by binding the woman first can make Gandhi safe so that Aya can not be owned by anyone.

“Do you still have patience to wait for me, dear? I promise, less than a year, I'll see your parents soon and ask you officially.” Gandhi.

“Of course I'll be patient. Thank you.” He said and embraced Gandhi again.

But the hug was only for a moment because suddenly Aya saw a shadow Darren.
