Duren Mateng's
Chapters 14. Son-in-law Candidate
"Then, when are you planning to marry my daughter?"ask Nana's father.
"Well?!" Alvaro was immediately surprised, the man widened his eyes to hear the words of the old man who was in front of him.
"Yes, when do you want to marry Nana," said Nana's father repeating his words.
Alvaro immediately set his eyes on the woman next to him. Nana looked timid while tucking her hair behind her ears.
"Emmm... Look, there seems to be a misunderstanding here" said Alvaro, who tried to avoid the question.
"What misunderstanding does it mean?" ask Nana's father.
Nana who was originally blushed in embarrassment, the look on her face suddenly changed. He panicked from hearing what Alvaro had just said.
"Actually I was quite surprised to be met by Om and Aunt, before Nana did not tell me in advance about this problem," said Alvaro.
Nana's father frowned, "What do you mean?"
"I only came here because Nana invited me to dinner. At first I refused, but considering that Nana had been kind to my son, I felt indebted and agreed to Nana's invitation" Alvaro explained at length.
Nana's mother cleared her throat, the woman had already revealed a slightly sour face, and her eyes were staring at her daughter with a snort.
"Look at Mom, ...."
"You have humiliated us again! Why should you admit that you like each other? I don't know! I've lost face. Stupidly, we still believe your words," said Nana's mother, who immediately stepped out of her chair, choosing to leave the place.
"I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable with that question. Honestly, I as the father of Nana apologize profusely for this incident. I also feel very embarrassed because of our girl who was being overdone. Then excuse me," said Nana's father who still had a polite speech and say goodbye to Alvaro.
Alvaro becomes unpleasant, but how else, Nana has indeed acted out of reason. If left unchecked, then Nana will become.
"Father, mother, ..." muttered Nana when she saw her parents had moved out of her chair. Nana's mother had walked out first, while Nana's father had followed her.
Nana looked at Alvaro as she bent her lips inward, growling with annoyance that Alvaro was not interested in her at all. Though Nana has tried hard, preening every day just to captivate the heart of a cold widower on this one.
The girl got up from her seat without saying a word. He breezed about, leaving behind two handsome men of different generations.
Bima turned her head to look at her teacher who had just left without excuse. "Papa, Master why are you angry?" ask Bima.
"So, maybe he was angry because of papa's words" said Alvaro.
"But it's the fault of Master. It should be the Teacher who apologized not the grandfather," said Bima who discussed the apology of Nana's father earlier.
"Do you still want Master Ma to be your mother's replacement later, Boy?" ask Alvaro.
Bima quickly shook her head.
Alvaro smiled, his hands moving rubbing his son's curls. " Yes, then we should order food," said Alvaro. Bima nodded her head enthusiastically while commenting on the smile.
They called the waiter to order food. After finishing his meal, the two handsome men chose to return home.
.....
The next day, Alvaro returned to his usual routine. He prepared breakfast for his little boy. The man has taken over as a father and mother for Bima.
When Alvaro goes to the office, a servant from the main house will come to clean his house. Alvaro just left to put an envelope containing money on the table as payment for the sweat that the waiter took out.
Ceklekk ....
"Sir, ...."
"Yes, Boy. What's up?" ask Alvaro gently. The man removed the apron attached to his body and hooked the object into place. He also occupies the seat in front of his son while listening to what Bima wants to say to him.
"Papa, Bima doesn't have to change schools. Bima will continue to attend the old Bima school" the man's great-grandson. He was afraid that his father would oppose the decision he made.
"Why Nak?" alvaro folded his hands on the table, trying to be a good listener for an explanation of his son's decision.
"Bima is more comfortable being in Bima's old school, Pa. If Bima has to change schools, it means Bima has to meet new people again," Bima grumbled.
Alvaro smiled, trying to understand his son's intentions. Although later Bima will be required to be able to adapt quickly to new people, because later Bima will be the successor later.
"alright. Papa won't move you. But, are you okay to meet with Bu Nana later?" ask Alvaro.
"Bima's okay, Pa. After all Bu Nana is Bima's teacher at school. There is no way he will do evil to Bima," said the little man.
"Then, finish the toast and drink the milk" Alvaro said.
Bima also began to enjoy the breakfast prepared by his father.
...
After finishing breakfast, the two handsome men walked out of his apartment. When they left the house, it turned out that their next-door neighbor also came out.
This time Alvaro did not meet Miss Isna, but the daughter of the neighbor. Rania has been removed from her mask. The woman had recovered from her fever after being treated by Ms Isna.
Rania looked at Alvaro with a cynical look, considering that yesterday the man said she was a virus-carrying woman. Bima who saw Rania immediately developed her smile.
"Mama!" exclamation Bima.
At first Rania did not know and did not notice if there was Bima along with the man who was her neighbor. When Bima called the second time, made Rania turn around.
"Mama" said Bima while showing a row of white teeth.
"You're the kid at the restaurant" Rania muttered. Bima who acted sweet like a kitten was immediately nodded her head.
"Mama?" said Alvaro was surprised by the call pinned by Bima on the woman he just met.
Rania squinted her eyes. "Don't you be told by your father, huh?" rania asked looking at Alvaro still with her cynical gaze.
"I? I didn't teach my son to talk like that!" alvaro said, directly refuting the words of the woman in front of him.
Tingg ....
The elevator just opened. Arumi is seen with Bu Isna. The two talked even though they had just known each other.
Alvaro, Bima, and Rania stared at the woman whose hair had started to whiten. And the two old women looked at their two children and opened their eyes several times.
Arumi remembered the figure of Rania is the woman he had been looking for in recent days to become the next mother candidate from Bima.
"My daughter-in-law's candidate" Arumi said with a meaningful smile.
Hearing this, Rania and Alvaro were immediately stunned while throwing a look of surprise at each other.
