I Don'T Want To Be Cinderella #1
21. Surprised!!

Surprised!! (Surprise)

“So, where have you been with that handsome Boss lo?”

“Yes, that's it.”

“Yes what is it?” Siska was curious again.

Currently we are sitting on the terrace while eating chicken noodles, Mamah is going to teach weekly at the mosque complex, Oka has not yet returned to school, while I am off, but I have a day off, and because it's Wednesday so the boss goes to work, as a result who is always ready to accompany me only Siska.

Don't you think Siska is unemployed. Wasn't it! He's a real businessman, he provides everything we need. Anyway malugada deh (what you want, I exist) from super kw goods to kw 5, from providing services type thesis to providing services porters building, building, anyway he's all but witchcraft and shamanism, and also branded ori stuff. Yes, understand it because our capital is not much. Oh yes, I am also one of the investors there, enough to pay the red installment additional.

“The problem of the match is finished?”

I breathed hearing that question.

“No idea.”

“Indeed he never told you about that?”

I shook my head.

“And you didn't ask?”

“Gue confused, want to ask how.”

“Ya stay tanya.”

“Yes how?”

“Ya tanya.”

“Iya, Munaroh, ask how? How do I say it?!” my annoyance was a little upset making him think.

“Mild!” his reply after being silent thinking for a while made me look at him curiously.

“How?”

“Yes just ask, how is the matchmaking problem? Is it finished yet? Compress!” he said casually while returning to bribing chicken noodles.

Yes, it is that easy, but believe me that simple sentence is very difficult to say.

“If I ask it is not a problem?”

“Why problems? If you do not ask, it will be a problem for you. Would you like to until when is your relationship like this?”

I let out a breath.

“Gue also does not want to be like that, Sis, but if I often ask is the effect I am too weak he is not? Because I know this is not an easy thing for him to talk to his parents, he must also wait for the right time to talk about this problem with them.”

“Daaaan .. exact time it was when?”

I was silent and could not answer that simple question. Until we finished the chicken noodles and the brother of the chicken noodle seller came to take the bowl, even until the cart was no longer visible, and the day changed I could not answer the question.

It was Siska's simple question that made me think back these few days. All this time we were in a relationship like there was no problem, or rather pretend there was no problem whatsoever. We live our days like a couple in general, go on a date, watch, eat, or just take a walk to enjoy our moments together.

He introduced me to his close friends, trying to make me comfortable in order to get into their circle of friends. He had also been quite close to Mamah, Oka, and Siska, but never once did I get introduced to any of his family members and it came back like there was a void in our relationship.

I felt our closeness and happiness all this time as if pseudo, because after all our relationship is like walking on a thin ice surface that will drown us at any time.

“What daydream?”

I gasped at the side where Caraka was standing while looking at me probing. At the moment I was in the rooftop enjoying the night in my break, while he was done working, his tie was gone, his hair was a little messy, his shirt sleeves had been rolled up to ¾, he said, looks relaxed with a cigarette in between the fingers that he occasionally suction.

“No,” I replied as I gazed back into the distance where there was a dancing fountain that changed color in the park of the bull field, and the road was completely deserted only occasionally seen one-two vehicles passing by, and the road was completely deserted, the wind also felt increasingly cold blowing between the night.

“You can't lie.”

“That's a sign I'm an honest person.”

The boss laughed while throwing away his cigarette then stepped on it before he stepped closer to hug me from behind making me smile even though he was a little surprised at first.

“Cold?” tanyanya while hugging me tightly with her chin piled on my shoulder. I just nodded in response. “Why even nights are here, instead of taking a short nap in the dugout.”

“Danger if I sleep, can be blurred until morning.”

“Hahaha .. Then sleep here for a while, I'll take care of you.”

Aaah.. This fragrance, the perfume that became typical of a Caraka Continent. A gentle, but masculine fragrance is also very soothing, making me involuntarily smile while closing my eyes, my nose smelled in a perfume that must have been ori and expensive because it still lasted from morning until now it was more than midnight.

Unlike the perfume I bought at the Siska refill perfume shop in the Condet area, which only lasted a few hours and the fragrance will run away after being blown by the wind.

“Why not go home yet? Is there a problem in the office?” ask me with my eyes closed.

“There's been a little problem, but I've already cleared it up and tonight I'm staying here.” I nodded in understanding

Caraka does have a private room in this hotel, in the penthouse instead.

But he would rather go back to his apartment than stay in a hotel, the reason being that he felt that staying here was the same as staying in an office. Can't rest.

“So what did you think of earlier?” His hand stroking my hair made me feel sleepy. “What are you thinking about us?”

“Hmmm.” I nodded in response.

“About my matchmaking?”

“Hmmm.” I nodded back.

“Do not think too much about it .. I have taken care of it.”

I stretched our arms to look at her in surprise at her words.

“You mean to have taken care of it?”

“A few days ago I met Big Boss to say that Big Boss would not decide my matchmaking, then I will directly talk to the Anggi family to reject this matchmaking.”

My sleepiness was immediately lost hearing the words of Caraka who was also looking at me.

“Terus?”

“Teruuus ..” Caraka again pulled me into his arms.

“Iiih, answer first!” I kept my body away making her laugh.

“Kan can chat while hugging like earlier, when else try to hug you, usually also fierce bangat.”

“Tadi because sleepy ... now it is no longer sleepy.”

“Ckkk.” He clucked while leaning his body against the concrete fence, making me stand in front of him curious.

“Continue the one.”

“Iya already here or if you want to be continued mah.” He pulled me back into the arms making me hit his chest while away.

“Raka, yes! Seriously!”

Oh right, after the day that I decided to follow my heart, I decided to call her Raka. I originally wanted to call him Continent (because in the office he was called Pak Continent), but he said, Continent is the name most people use that is not so close to him. His family and friends called him Caraka or Raka. So I decided to call him Raka, without frills Mas, aa, akang, brother, or the others. Not yet, not unwilling, just maybe there will be a time when I call him .. Kang Raka? or Mas Raka? or maybe Bang Raka? Yeah, that's later after everything's clear.

“Hahaha, yes, dear, what the hell? I was serious.”

“Lanjutin the previous ... continue how did Big Boss answer?”

He was silent for a moment then clasped both of my hands before finally saying,

“They want to meet you.”

“A-what?”

“They invited you to lunch together.”

“A-what?!”

“Saturday tomorrow.”

“A-WHAT?!”

“Tomorrow, I'll pick you up to meet my family.” He still spoke casually no matter who I was now looking at him sharply with a sudden irregular heartbeat.

“Why tell now? You should have told me earlier.”

“Surprised!” the thrill of relaxing with a wide smile made me want to scratch his face.

Is this the time when all the events I've been watching on TV will happen? The male family tried to make the woman depressed by insulting and demeaning her, followed by bargaining for some money to leave the man, and ended with the dousing of the woman by the prospective in-law?

Mom ... What should I do???
