“I don't want to mince words anymore, I came here to propose to you for Fareed” said Mr. Peterson steady.
Uhuk....
Latitude choked on his own spit, he was startled when he heard Mr. Peterson's words without excuse.
“Dad, what you bi—” Fareed want to protest, what the hell is this, he does not want a proposal like this, he wants a very memorable application to remember throughout his life. Not a proposal like this.
“Silent you Fareed” hardik Mr. Peterson keeps Fareed's mouth locked, if it's like this, this old Bangka won't stop before his wish is reached.
Hiza still remained focused with her spectacle, while Elivan only noticed everything.
Nervous latitude, is this just a joke like the one he experienced this morning? or the fact that he is now being proposed?.
Realizing the confusion of the Latitude, Mr. Peterson smiled, he seemed to return to a time where he had a lover who was so beautiful yet, he was, he could not marry her because of her parents' insistence on a business marriage.
“How?” ask Mr. Peterson again.
“Mm, is this real?” tanya Lintang hopes all this is real, basically Lintang still keeps a lot of her feelings for Fareed.
“Hahah...” Mr. Peterson's laughter broke when he heard Lintang's question, which was a bit dubious about his proposal, perhaps Lintang was traumatized about the incident where he saw the Elivan massacre this morning.
Hearing the laughter of Mr. Peterson Latang frowned, was there something wrong in his body?, Latitude reflex lowered his head, he checked his limbs whether something was wrong or not.
While Fareed just silently did not respond to anything, in the corner of his heart said 'What if his Daddy proposal was rejected by Lintang?'.
“Already, how was my application?” mr. Peterson stopped his laughter and changed his facial expression to be more serious.
“Is this true?” ask the latitude again. Lintang wants to make sure that he is not lied to anymore.
Mr. Peterson sighed.
“Did you see I was joking?” asked Mr. Peterson, Lintang innocently shook his head to make Mr. Peterson want to laugh but he held back. 'Hold for the future' Mr. Peterson.
“Yasuda, so how is Latitude?” ask Mr. Peterson.
Lintang is confused to answer what, if considered again he has won a lot if married to Fareed, besides handsome Fareed is his first love. Elivan, means he married widower dong?
“Sorry my master can't” said Lintang lowered his head, this is his decision.
Fareed's jaw hardened after he heard the answer from Lintang, somehow it feels unwilling if Lintang is with each other or even married to someone other than himself, enough he who married someone else, not Lintang, really Fareed is not willing.
“Hmm, no problem, my son is not pa—” replied Mr. Peterson with a disappointed look, with a tone of speech Lintang already know if Mr. Peterson is now disappointed with the answer he gave.
“Mm, I mean can't refuse mister”
Brugg....
Lintang's body staggered backwards when the hard blow from Fareed's body hit him, Fareed hugged him as indeed his sitting distance with Fareed was only separated by Elivan's small body.
“Thank you” shrewd Fareed tightened his embrace to the body Latitude.
Mr. Peterson who saw the behavior of the child just looked at him flat, but in the depths of his heart he felt happy to see the happiness of his son. It was enough for him to fail the marriage, and for Fareed to be quite once.
Elivan is also happy that he will get a good mommy, a Latitude mommy, while Hiza is keeping busy with what she is watching right now.
“Come El, Hiza, come with Grandpa, Grandpa wants to give
you are something.” said Mr. Peterson stood up while inviting his two grandchildren, Mr. Peterson does not know if Hiza is not a grandchild born from the womb of Lintang.
“Is it a cake gift?” tanya Hiza showed her round eyes.
While Elivan was just standing and following his grandfather from behind, to be honest, Elivan's back was in a lot of pain from the forced pull of Fareed wanting to sit next to the Latitude. but Elivan realized that Daddy was too happy so he did not realize that he had hurt him.
It's okay, Elivan doesn't matter.
The latitude in the condition of being hugged by Fareed's large body felt bad, he was a little embarrassed and felt impolite because he could not take Mr. Peterson outside.
“Fareed off first” said Lintang, his hand moved slowly to release Fareed's embrace.
“Tid—”
“Leave it, here I have something for you” said Mr. Peterson put a large black wallet with a well-known brand on it.
Then Mr. Peterson walked out followed by Elivan behind him, trailing like a chick.
Now, Lintang is in a sitting position, while Fareed has fallen asleep on the thighs of Latitude while looking at the face of Lintang which is so beautiful in the eyes of Fareed.
Latitude lowered his head, he stroked Fareed's hair gently.
“Mm, I want to sleep, later tonight I work” said Lintang trying not to be nervous in talking to Fareed.
“No need, you have been fired by the manager for skipping for 3 days” replied Fareed. he drowned his head in the stomach of Latitude.
Lintang was surprised, what if he did not work to eat what he was with his two children?.
“I want to apply for a job tomorrow.” said Lintang arrived.
“Make what?” tanya Fareed remained in the same position.
“I don't have enough savings to not work during his” asked Lintang staring innocently at the wall in front of him while glaring away what if he doesn't work.
“No need to work, you just squeeze my wallet” said Fareed.
“Ha?” The latitude does not understand.
“You no longer need to work, just sit down and squeeze my money as you like, Fareed explained.
“Oh.. Yes dong ka— Ha? you mean I was told to be a female matre?” ask Latitude when aware of what Fareed said.
“Iya, no problem, right I have become your husband” replied Fareed casually.
Lintang wide eyes he is not married to Fareed. “Still candidates, not yet sah” said Lintang fix.
Once again, Fareed smiled, he changed his position to sit down, then took the wallet given by the Daddy earlier.
“This what?” tanya Lintang when he gave the wallet.
“Just open ” Fareed's orders.
With hesitation, Latitude opened the wallet, there were two rectangular-shaped objects in red and blue, slowly the Latitude picked up and read the title of the thing.
“Marriage book. Ha?!”
Bruks....
Latitude fainting.
