If Lisa hadn't played hard to achieve, things wouldn't have been this complicated. Sinar knows how crazy he is, even his family understands that he is able to do whatever he wants as much as any obstacle that hits him. This is the effect of hard upbringing that constantly shackles him so that whatever he wants is always buried deep within him, too suppressed from year to year so that as he grows older, at his present age, he was much more capable of spewing out all the things he had never been able to accomplish in the past. Like a bomb, now great decisions and madness are in his hands without being challenged by anyone. Including people he loved himself.
The news came in the afternoon from her mother. He had just completed a document check and employee performance evaluation that was routinely carried out at the end of each month accompanied by Nabila and Chandra when the phone came in personally. Sumringah, he got the good news that the meeting was approved by Mr. and Mrs. Cakrawijaya held two days from now.
Noren doesn't care when he has to fly to Sakura State to meet the two people he's met before about asking for first permission about his feelings for Lisa. And he also did not mind to fly anymore right now. Submitting the task of booking a flight ticket for a predetermined date to Chandra, Noren prepared for himself.
“Lo today this week went where, anyway, Ren? shouldn't there be no schedule for this month?”
The question that Sinar asked when they met in the promise of lunch together made Noren pause for a moment. His lips were interested in forming a smirk when his gaze fell on the face of a curious wrinkled Rays while chewing his lunch. His best friend looked very innocent and Noren was sure, it would disappear in the next few days after his meeting with both of Sinar's parents, the man would definitely throw tantrums with this decision he took.
“Tau so much about my schedule? You want to replace Nabila's job as my secretary?” he asked back in an indifferent tone. Stirring his food, Noren knew Sinar would be provoked by the answer he gave.
“Dih, that's not it, Ren. Very males I become babu lo” Sembur Sinar not with a sharp tone that does not refer to silly quarrels. “But yesterday when I asked Nabila about when to return Indo after signing a contract with Mr.Kwon which turned out to be even ngacir to Finland, he said you do not have a schedule for overseas travel again after that for a month or two monthly”
“But it turns out that you want to leave tomorrow for another trip? What other business would you like to go to the company, Ren? Don't tell me, lo?”
“Not a business trip, kok” denies Noren fast. He nodded in chewing, pleased with the topic of conversation where Sinar looked very clueless. His head was calling out with many exclamations that made him tickle. The beam would explode if the man knew what the plan was. But let it be, he's not looking to provoke a fuss. Better his best friend knows in his own way and he will see further in the future. The plan had to be faster to deal with on its own and not even Sinar could to block it at all.
Not when he got this far.
“Terus?”
“More lo know better” the rebuttal again. Standing up, Noren decided to finish with his lunch. “Gue to prepare first. I didn't leave for long either. Don't be so possessive of me that's dong, bro. I, ‘kan has the same crush loek lo, not the same lo” Noren can not stop himself from giggling amused when he saw the horror face of Sinar with both cheeks bulging due to chewing his food unresolved.
“DIH?!” Spray his best friend fast.
“Stress. Who's possessive to you, lo? My taste is not lo?”
“Good if that is so. Can not my heart if adek lo must rival same lo”
Expelling the Light is part of his pleasure. So, when Noren saw how Rays were ready to be ravaging his food just to throw it right into Noren's face, he chose to pull his former feeding ground and retreat away from the rampage. Looking at the ray that had already brandished the two middle fingers to him and with a shout;
“Gue is still normal, asshole! Get off my face!”
Making Noren know that the Cakrawijaya gene didn't fall so far. Because the reaction given by Ray is also Lisa, is the same. The two sisters share the same brain cells and that's what makes Noren too used to how Lisa behaves to him. The light had been his test for many years and he was already immune to what reactions first arose. His prediction will always be true if it comes to the unique family of Cakrawijaya.
So, before he turned around, Noren threw the same middle finger at Sinar who was now laughing out loud, attracting the attention of some of the employees who ate at the same cafeteria as them. Boost. It was such a common thing that Noren had even gone dumb with the image that his best friend had built. As long as Noren is not involved and is still the best role model of his employees, he does not care about his best friend's property. Besides, if the master doesn't care, why should he?
Jumping over time, the night when he was packing, Sinar paid a visit to his apartment. It was an unusual thing that his best friend visited without giving him any news first. It was their routine to tell each other about their arrival. No matter how close they are, it seems that Sinar or Noren must provide communication or at least an illegible message sitting in the messaging app box so they are aware of each other's presence.
They are close, but they meet more often when the two decide to take over a job in the same country and decide to work together and form an alliance. Ever since they became friends, it had been very short years before they were divided in two different countries, even two different continents so to meet could not be realized any time soon. For communication it can even be counted with the fingers.
That's why, between Noren and Sinar, although they already know the vices of each other's nature and share the same burden as a child who grew up in the insistence of business parents and the life line that has been set by both of their parents, they are, there is still a distance of respect that they apply. The little things exemplified in this communication about presence are one of them.
Lying on Noren's king-size soft bed, with his head facing the ceiling of the room but hanging on the side of the bed, Sinar complained about Wildan constantly teasing him about his feelings that had not changed at all until a complaint about how Hala had not contacted him in recent times before turning around again to rant about how Wildan was not only does it try to find a girlfriend at her age who has already entered the heads of three and instead teaches her about just looking for someone else and developing new feelings.
Noren nonchalantly listens to unnecessary complaints while he is busy with his phone, exchanging messages with his mother regarding the meeting that will be held tomorrow and about the flight where he will leave early in the morning. Papa and his mother, who are in Europe, have landed smoothly in Japan and they are resting to eliminate a little bit of jet-lag. The two had not travelled far at all in recent years (Except the Papa) and it was one where they had to fly to Asia just to fulfill the request of their first son. Noren couldn't be happier than anything else.
Lucky for him, his father was excited about establishing a closer business relationship with the Cakrawijaya company so that the middle-aged man did not complain about his son's request. It was much easier as he thought. Maybe, if Lisa is not a decent business boy or not at all, she will do extra things to get the approval of both parents, especially on her Papa. Of course that would not prevent him from going reckless and further. But lucky for him, this time he did not have to do anything more troublesome than anything.
“Ren, you don't, anyway?”
“Gue is not horrified I can know what you complained about from earlier, Nar”
Turning a lazy eyeball, Noren puts his phone on a table close to his collection which is now hidden by the wood that has been designed deliberately and as well as possible to disguise his special possessions. Once hidden, it will look just like a regular work desk, with a set of PCs and gaming chairs that he now sits comfortably on. Turning from his position, he decided to refocus on his best friend who is now complaining about romance again and again.
Not that Noren isn't. Only, the path was now further and a little further ahead. So that soon he will get his love in a way faster than anything Sinar can imagine.
Well, instead of Sinar would have imagined it, Sinar would beat him without further ado.
“Dih, really” snarl Rays. He turned around to identify himself. “What am I talking about from earlier?”’
“Lo, tuh.” Noren snorted, massaging his temple because the Rays could sometimes become thorns in the flesh and he didn't particularly like how it worked. “Lo know, anyway? every one that comes out of your mouth if you are in vent mode, tuh, other and not yes about his best friend Lisa. Who, huh, Nala? Cala?”
“Hala, stupid”
“Nah, that” Noren grinned, the reaction of the Rays really reminded him of Nalisa.
Ah, about it, of course Noren is still in touch with Lisa. After the statement of his marriage invitation was rejected by the woman so Noren recklessly doing the thing he would do now, Lisa became more and more often reply to his message and fight silly with him. The woman was much more open with him and it was easy to laugh when Noren idly made a video call some time ago.
Rejection is the worst, but the seed of rejection is something greater. Something better where everything will be on his side. It's okay, Lisa just has to see what kind of monster could push her to do more unexpected, bigger things that could ensnare the woman in her restraints. In a poisonous net full of all the hearts that he laid only for the woman.
“Ngot very exciting same story lo, njir”
“Which tells you the story doesn't exist either, yes, Nar. Self-aware” Noren shoots in every word of fact. The light screeched, lost. “Lagian, lo from the first it's so mulu. Do not take a real step, as if you are not serious about your feelings to him. How did he know?” taking on the role of a good friend for a while, he tried to speak his opinion.
“Gue seriously equals her!” not accepting the accusation, Sinar jumped from his lying position. “Gue has tried his best to approach him, to worry about him if I have any taste. Dan, guess? Everyone knows that I like him, but why is he the only one who doesn't know?”
Standing up, Noren chose to do something else. Don't want to deal with the light that's whinny. Dumbbells in corner storage cabinets are what the goal is now.
“Ya means just two reasons, anyway, Nar”
“What?”
Lifting a weight of 6.5 kg, he divided the focus on his best friend. A sneer was imprinted on his face cunningly.
“Between your efforts are really less until he thinks you are good to him because he is his best friend Lisa, or it could be less charm because you are not his type he”
“Not the second one for sure!” The light persisted, even though his face was now red either due to the emotion of dislike or feeling self-conscious.
“Ya otherwise, it means he already likes each other, anyway, in my opinion. That's definitely better than lo, Nar”
“Damn lo!”
One pillow that used to be his bedmate floated right into his face. Noren, who was unprepared because his focus was divided, did not have time to dodge so that the pillow was right in the face. Luckily, Dumbbell was still in a low position to fall and destroy something, his precious legs managed to be far from the reach of heavy loads.
“Job! This if I get it, I've lost one like my foot, dog!”
Feeling innocent, Sinar shrugged both of his shoulders indifferently. Choose to be busy turning on the television in the room. Choose not to lift things that will trigger a physical fight between the two best friends. Noren let out a heavy sigh, rubbing his face with both hands before deciding to go back to storing his sports equipment. It is dangerous if Sinar is still around and tries to draw a fight with him.
“OK, I consider this in return from lo and lo can not be angry for what will happen in the future. You've already paid an emotional DP fee with this one, yes, Nar”
“Hah?”
Noren grinned, choosing to sit back in his comfortable gaming chair.
“Anyway, yes, gitu” he waved, ignoring the stupid reaction of Sinar. “Now, try to tell me why you came here without warning to me like usually?”
The light was silent for a moment. He pressed a few numbers on the remote control before sighing lightly. There was a moment of muttering before he shook his head somewhat strangely.
“Free, how, ya” looking for a suitable vocabulary, Sinar looks to think for a moment. “Isting I told you, anyway. Really strange. I'm gonna have to stop you from leaving tomorrow.” There is a pause, “Ya, anyway. I think I should stop making it go away. Weird.”
Nodding his nose, Sinar looked relaxed as he found a suitable movie channel. Noren froze in position. Be aware of what the light reveals. It was a bit surprising how strong the man's instincts were about his little sister.
“Udah, ah, maybe just my feeling. Be careful when tomorrow goes. Now, let's watch the ball first, boss”
Noren smiled slightly. Observe his best friend who now steals snacks from his mini refrigerator and secures himself in the middle of the mattress like the real owner of the room, he said, Noren wondered just how much anger Rays would have when the man knew it all. And, the next question that comes up is, which hand will Noren feel for the first fist that will greet his face.
...….....
Air travel is no longer a new thing that he feels. But for the trip this time is what makes Noren feel very excited. His smile never faded. He could not resist the ticklish giggling that continuously tickled him. Fortunately, his journey was completely uninterrupted and he was satisfied with most of the trip.
Looking over his sunglasses, he had just changed clothes at a hotel to improve his appearance for a meeting held at a famous restaurant close to the residence of Cakrawijaya. The choice of place was mostly left to their families so that Noren and his parents were ready to come wherever it was chosen.
The clothes that wrapped his body now were formal clothes with an ash suit matched with a black tie and a white shirt. The material trousers that were attached fit on his feet were neater than anything he expected. The clean pantofel was enough to show the impression that he was serious about the meeting being held. His hair was quite friendly with him and not too cute to be preoccupied in the exhibition of the forehead is not too flashy. Noren also exerted himself to apply makeup, in a thin sweep, he was ready to show himself again in the presence of his second family candidate.
The second family was, in a sense, his future father-in-law.
“Oh, baby, have you arrived?”
It was a greeting from her mother when they passed by outside the family restaurant with a private room that had been chosen. Noren smiled, hugging his Mama for a bit with a gentle pat on the back as a greeting of meeting. He looked at his Papa and nodded in a code that the two understood each other.
Noren and his father were not good fathers and sons and were too compatible. Many were different in paths that were covered by the eyes of outsiders. But just this time, on the intersecting road, Noren will hold on to his father.
“Then, we better get in. It is not good to let others wait for long” Her father cleared his throat, reminding mother and child not to spend much time talking. “Noren, you brought something for the Cakrawijaya family?”
“Already, Pa. Noren wouldn't be a fool to come empty-handed. After all this talk about the future of Noren and their daughter”
That's what he made sure. Some branded parcels were already inside the paperbag he was carrying. Showing his satisfied Papa, the middle-aged man nodded and they immediately stepped in to enter the room.
Introducing themselves to the serving staff, they were immediately taken to the room on behalf of Cakrawijaya. It was a long hallway before they climbed the two floors using the elevator and then turned to the right before finally being in the right room.
Grinning in a nervousness that was hindered with confidence and decisiveness within, Noren stood at the very front. Opening the sliding door in front of him in a slow motion that was inversely proportional to his heart beat like a horse race, he said, he is faced with a luxurious room typical of modern Japan with both adults who are already waiting for their presence. The view is trained towards the door so that in the end a smile is spread on their faces in a matter of time.
“Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Cakrawijaya, sorry to make you two wait too long for our arrival family”
The pair laughed for the fluent formal Japanese accent that Noren put out before the jitters of anxiety came in echoing the sounds of pleasure and hospitality like two arms open in a sincere, voluntary welcome.
“Oh, Nak Noren” Mrs. Cakrawijaya stood up, welcoming him with joy that was mapped on the beautiful face of the old woman. “Don't be too formal that way, we've agreed in the previous meeting, right? what should you call this beautiful woman?” the ignorant smile that knew was brought on as the woman approached her. Noren laughing.
“Oh, what should I say” He muttered sillyly before widening his hands to welcome a hug from the woman before returning to call in a beautiful dialogue the word that bounced off his lips, said the,
“Nice to see you again, Ma”
“And what do you call this old man?”
Noren laughed loudly, this time his pleasure was not trying to hide in his mask again.
“Oh, stop calling yourself old, Pa!”
He told you, right?
The Cakrawijaya family was his second family, his future father-in-law.
Sinar and even of course, Nalisa should be prepared with this sooner or later.
But for this case, it looks like they have to take faster steps to start getting used to it because the marriage, will definitely be held soon.
