"Quen, you're done with your apprenticeship, you're about to graduate from medicine, didn't you rethink my proposal back then? I'm still waiting for you, and even this second. You know, I only spend time with you besides my family." Aditya clasped the hands of the two girls in front of him. Their two eyeballs met each other.
Quen blushed in embarrassment, he wanted to say yes right away, but, afraid of being said easily. If you say no, will there be another chance like this? It had been almost three years that Aditya was waiting for him. Quen also knew the ins and outs of the man before him.
"If you're serious about me, come home, see my parents." Quen turned his face away from being ashamed of being stared at like that by Aditya.
"Emm, when? Maybe Sunday morning you can come home. Because at that time our family was usually gathered together," Quen replied happily.
"So, does that mean you accept me when your parents approve of us?" aditya smiled mysteriously.
"Yes, that's it. I'm eloping to elope. I haven't gone to professional school, I'm in two to three years to get a doctor's degree."
Without a stale aditya raised the slender body carrying it and carried it running. Quen squealed in shock at Aditya's extremely sudden treatment.
"www... Sir, put me down!" The girl thrashed. Makes the man who was carrying her even more anxious.
"Hay, Quen! Plis, we are not a couple of children and fathers, why do you always call me sir? Call me Aditya!" The man's orders.
"I'm awkward, not ordinary." Her protest with a pitying and adorable expression.
"When are you going to keep this up? Huh huh? Get used to it from now on!" The man couldn't bear to tightly hug Quen's body and peeked at his cheek many times.
"Adiiiit! You're ashamed to look like a man." Quen pushed on the man's chest and rubbed the cheek from his kiss.
"You're so happy, honey? I'm a man, I won't leave a lipstick on your cheek" Aditya said, pinching her nose.
🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸
Aditya sat down in front of both Quen's parents.
The man tried hard to throw his nerves in front of the would-be-in-law, but, still, the sense was there. Although he tried to think that Quen's parents were the same age as him. Seeing that Vano and Clara still look so young, the three of them are like sisters.
Aditya was still frantically shaking his legs slowly in order to rilex, he was confused what to call? Big brother, but they're prospective in-laws, auntie om, if he's under twenty-five. His age is thirty-four. But still cool.
"Om, Auntie, I'm here to tell you my max for asking for your daughter, Quen." K
Aditya's heart seemed to beat fast, he even sweated to say the sentence.
"Are you serious about my daughter? Promise not to hurt him, and not compare him with... Sorry, I already know a lot about you, Doctor Aditya," Clara said firmly.
"Yes, Aunt. I pledge. I had my heart set on Quen from the beginning. We love each other, even my son, Axel. She likes it so much."
Vano breathed deeply. He grabbed a box of cigarettes in front of him to relax his mind. His daughter will marry, he will have a son-in-law, then a grandson. It feels like Vano still doesn't believe in any of this. It's too fast. Is he that old?
"We never forbid our daughter's son to have a marriage relationship with anyone. But, as parents, we have the right to make sure our daughter's future husband is really good. I am also a man, for sure if I will start a new life with women, not only looking for a wife, but also looking for a mother for my son" said Vano at length.
"Yes, Om. God willing, I will treat princess Amda very well."
"All right, you're doing business with Quen. I'll call him." Clara went to her daughter's room.
The door to Quen's room slowly. Shortly thereafter the girl came out wearing a mini dress made of cotton floral selutu motif.
"Mama, what's calling me?" said Quen timidly.
"Come, Son. Aditya's waiting for you downstairs." Clara smiled as she stroked her daughter's head gently.
Quen rolled his gaze down the stairs, seeing Aditya sitting opposite his papa.
🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸
Vano sits casually with Clara on her front porch. Drowsiness as if not go to datanh even though it was nine o'clock through thirty.
Both are hilarious. Bersma a cup of coffee. I forgot that tomorrow is Monday.
"Without feeling we're old, huh sanyang? It feels like just yesterday we knew, naughty together and married having a beautiful and tiny baby. But, the baby was already being fed by people," Vano joked as he puffed smoke into the air.
"Yes, I sometimes forget that I'm old, especially when I gather with friends at Reza's cafe" said Clara. The two laughed at each other as they realized that they were no longer young.
The two laughed, "Yes, let's go to bed, tomorrow I have to work and you prepare breakfast for me." Vano lifted Clara's body carrying her to the room.
🌸 🌸 🌸
"I want to take you to the beach this morning, can you?"
"Can you take Axel?"
"No, just the two of us, we just got home with Axel."
The man continued to talk on the phone. Looking at the plain face that is still asleep. Occasionally stroking his head.
"Ok, okay! I'll get ready. What time did you pick me up?" Quen flicked the curtains, opened the windows and inhaled the morning air that had not been contaminated with pollution.
"Around seven, after I drop Axel off at school."
"Ok, I'm on a ride!"
"Where are you going, Quen?" asked Vano, because he knew that his daughter had no college schedule.
"You go to the beach, Pa."
"Same Aditya?"
"Who else?"
Shortly after, Lyli approached Quen and Vano who were enjoying their breakfast.
"Miss, Quen is looking for you."
Quen seemed confused to see Vano and his watch alternated.
"Who, Brother? Just get in!" Quen.
Out of curiosity, Quen went along, and sure enough. In the living room Aditya was already waiting for him. He looks more macho and manly when he wears a black pres body shirt that shows off a little of his muscles and a dark blue trouser suit. And his slightly wet hair looks shiny when the sunlight that breaks through the window.
"You're coming in twenty-five minutes faster" Quen said as their eyes met.
"Women don't like to wait." Aditya smiled gently. It really fascinated Quen. It even felt like he wanted to jump sitting face to face on his lap. Fortunately, Vivian immediately came from the market and greeted them.
"Quen, have Adit breakfast with you" Vivian said as she arrived at the dinner table to see the food on her grandson's plate untouched.
"Breakfast first yuk!"
"You know, I've been together with my mama and Axel."
"Ok, wait five minutes here, huh?" Quen smiled back at the dining table.
After breakfast, Aditya tells Quen to his parents and grandparents.
Inside Aditya's car there was no end to stealing glances at Quen sitting beside him. Both are confused about what to talk about, until Aditya finally remembered that Quen said he had an older brother. But he had never met her before.
"Quens. He said you had a sister. Where is he now?"
"Sister, Al? He's in Japan. About three years ago after her marriage she went back there to continue the efforts of Grandpa Andreas."
"Before he was there, huh?"
"Yes, graduated high school he went to college there for five years and took control of the company. After that back to Indo but back to Japan. This grandfather asked him to really focus there. So, if it doesn't matter, she won't be coming home."
Aditya nodded in understanding. She knew Quen was the daughter of a successful businessman here, but she didn't expect that she also had a company in Japan. However, looking at his nature and lifestyle was exactly the same as that of a lower middle-class child. Eating at warteg. Snack on the roadside. Hang out at the regular cafe. Even in college he relied on gojek.
"He's a good man, you can meet him when we're engaged." Quen smiled again showing his dimples on the right cheek.
Arriving at the beach, the atmosphere is quite crowded, Aditya chose a parking lot that is not so close to other cars.
He looked at Quen meaningfully. And shifted his body slightly grabbing the waist of the girl next to him.
"Dit, what are you doing?"
The man did not answer, his lust was too strong, he immediately hugged and kissed the girl next to him.
Wildly his hands gnawed here and there, giving some red marks on Quen's chest.
Quen sighed softly grabbing Aditya's hair, "Dit, don't leave a mark on the neck!" Stammered.
"Why? You scared? I'll be your husband, baby."
Aditya's eyes looked foggy with lust. It's probably natural he's been about five years never playing with women. And ino in the car, away from the crowd.
"Don't make my parents feel good about you. Make a good impression on them, ok!" said Quen while rubbing Aditya's hair gently.
Aditya smiled mischievously and said, "Well, I won't give you a sign of possession on the neck, but somewhere else can, right?"
"Hey, you're getting naughty, Dit. Don't bite my ear!" Quen shouted while laughing amusedly.
Aditya held onto both of Quen's shoulders pushing his body until he leaned against the car door, creeping and kissing his lips many times.
Quen Hanua was still unable to do anything. Logically he refuses, but, his body responds to Aditya.
"Trust me, huh? I won't do it until we're officially married. Anyway, I'll take care of you. Let's go down and play the waves there." said Aditya finish the game.
Quen's face was completely flushed red because he was afraid of obscenity. Because what he knows from his friends. Men and women who have had sexual relations before, will not be able to resist temptation. Moreover, Aditya has long been widowed.
Indeed, even if today it happened, not the first time with for the girl, before she had done with her foster sister. But, obviously things are different. There was no love but admiration.
Quen walked a bit shabbily, he was still unable to come to terms with the atmosphere he had just felt. His body still trembled a little because it was too shocked.
Once again he looked at Aditya who was walking beside him. 'He no bat, many girls and widows are crazy about him. But, she chose me?' quen said in his heart.
