Duren Mateng's
Chapters 13. Big Mouthed Man
Tonight, Alvaro again has to attend a dinner invitation. However, this time it was not from the woman chosen by her mother, but rather the figure of the woman chosen by her son.
Alvaro had refused outright, but considering Bima's speech earlier this afternoon made the man think again and accept the invitation from Bima's teacher named Nana.
Alvaro only wore a white t-shirt combined with a brown sweater, and black jeans.
The man slightly revealed his sleeves. 20 Minutes left showing at 8 p.m. After feeling enough appearance, Alvaro was immediately out of his room.
Alvaro closed the door of his room, he saw Bima waiting for him on the sofa while playing his cell phone.
"Are you ready, Boy?" ask Alvaro.
"Ready, Papa." The little man immediately put his phone into the small bag he was currently wearing.
Alvaro took his son, walking towards the exit. While outside, Bima was busy looking down, seeing her footsteps in unison with the father. Sometimes he smiled equating his steps with Alvaro's wide strides.
They passed a long-haired woman wearing a mask, half of the woman's face was not clearly visible.
Hatchymn ...
The woman sneezed in front of Alvaro, making the man immediately take a handkerchief in his pocket, and then cover his son's nose.
"Papa, what's wrong?" bima asked looking up in surprise at her father's treatment suddenly.
"Virus, Son. The woman is spreading the virus" Alvaro said. Bima immediately took over to hold her own nose. Alvaro took something back in the little bag. Spraying hand sanitizer into his hands.
Rania who passed from a different generation man heard their conversation. And of course one of them was offending Rania, making the woman turn around and look at who that annoying guy is.
"You, ...."
Just now Rania was about to say, but the two men had already entered the elevator first, and the elevator door was immediately closed. Rania had seen the face of Alvaro but she did not see the face of Bima.
"Basin' a shitty guy! What did he say? A virus? So he thinks I'm a virus spreader? You big-mouthed man! I don't want to get the flu like this either!" rania blabbed behind her mask.
"What are you talking about?" asked Ms. Isna with her head sticking out of the door. The middle-aged woman came out and looked around.
"What's wrong?" ask again.
"There's a big-mouthed man who just said to me" Rania grumbled. The woman chose to step inside the house.
"The big-mouthed guy? Who?" ask Isna again.
"Come, Ma. I'm lazy to talk about it. My head feels very heavy," lamented Rania who was walking towards her room.
"Okay, my girl. Mother will make ginger wedang so that your body feels warm," said Ms. Isna who immediately stepped into the kitchen.
....
Alvaro was driving his car, heading to the place he had been promised before along with Nana.
"Papa, is this woman virus dangerous?" bima asked with her innocent face.
"Good, Pa." Bima did not recognize Rania's face because it was covered by a mask. Similarly, Rania who did not see Bima closely. In fact, Rania is the one who is very sought after by her grandmother to be made a son-in-law until she cussed Alvaro to be a match with the woman.
After a long journey, Alvaro finally arrived at the restaurant X mentioned by Nana last afternoon. The man glanced at his watch before getting out of the car.
"It's 10 minutes late" Alvaro said.
Alvaro got out of the car, then turned to the next door to lower Bima. The man took his son to enter the restaurant.
While at the entrance, Alvaro circulated his gaze. However, Bima suddenly moved Alvaro's hand, making the man look at his son.
"Mr ... Papa ... it's Master Ma'am," Bima said as she pointed at Nana who had waved her hand looking at the two handsome men.
Alvaro followed Bima's line of sight. The man was surprised. The woman is not alone but with two couples who range in age 60 years.
"Is that his parents? That's right!" inner Alvaro shouted.
It feels like Alvaro has a disappearing style right then and there. This time he was really embarrassed because he had to face a meeting that his woman without speaking first had brought his parents.
But Alvaro can't just leave. When the two aging couples looked at him and waved their hands.
"Why did Teacher take Grandma, Pa?" bima asked looking up at her father's face that looked shocked.
"Come, Son. Maybe after this you have to change schools" murmured Alvaro.
"Mom, come here!" exclaiming Nana who just touched all the gazes of people who were there staring at him and towards Alvaro alternately.
"It has to be as thick as my face to face this woman" said Alvaro, who was still in her place.
Until finally Nana approached the two handsome men. Forcibly pulled Alvaro's arm to invite him to occupy the seat that had been provided.
Alvaro could only smile awkwardly. The man was really uncomfortable with this kind of situation. In the past, he only once faced the parents of the woman he loved, the late mother of Bima.
Alvaro occasionally stared at his son, and Bima seemed to give a similar expression. He was surprised by the presence of two elderly couples in the place.
"Dad, Mom, this is the man I meant" said Nana, who was enthusiastic about introducing Alvaro to her parents. The girl's eyes looked sparkling. In contrast to Alvaro who only showed an expression of surprise.
Nana looked at Alvaro who was silent. The woman grabbed Alvaro's arm. "Come, Mas. Introduce yourself in front of my parents" said Nana who seemed a little pushy.
"What did he say? Mas's? Didn't I tell you I hate the call coming out of his mouth. All you can call me is one woman, and that's Diara, Bima's mother." Alvaro spoke in his heart.
"I'm Alvaro" said Alvaro so stiffly. He still appreciated the two elderly couples who were in front of him.
"It turns out my daughter was very smart in choosing a man. He tells me about you every day" said Nana's mother.
"Then, when are you planning to marry my daughter?"ask Nana's father.
Alvaro was immediately surprised, the man widened his eyes to hear the words of the old man who was in front of him.
