I Don'T Want To Be Cinderella #1
24. The Most Awesome Man I Ever Know
The Most Awesome Man I Ever Know
(The coolest guy I know)
Kirana thought her lunch was just a slice of meat, and the vegetables that Caraka said were Solo's steak aka solo straits. Turns out he was wrong! After the solo strait is finished, then the main course or main menu is present, and this time the typical Sundanese food from the start of grilled gurame, oxtail soup, sambal, lalapan, tofu, tempe complete with crackers, and, and continue with the pudding as a desert.
What is Kirana right now? Yeah, even though he doesn't know he's full from eating or from stomach acid rising from tension? I don't know for sure at this time he felt full, also tense because it seemed like everyone was still curious about his relationship with Caraka
“So why did Kirana reject Kakang?”
Don't you?
Arletha was still curious, making Kirana want to pat her eel. After the conversation was dominated by men who talked about business, apparently women were still curious about Kirana's relationship with Caraka.
“Which is definitely not the only reason earlier right?” ask Widya's mother with a curious face.
“I must admit Caraka is not the type of man who only relies on the big name of the family.” Widya and Arletha's mother nodded in agreement. “I once told Caraka that he would be able to succeed with his own business without relying on the big name Mahesa.” Widya and Arletha's mother nodded in agreement. “Caraka very smart.” They nod their heads. “Hardwork.” Let's say it's getting more excited. “Hmmm ... handsome?” Nodding her more spirit makes Kirana have to hold back a smile. “Isn't he almost near perfect?”
“Iya ... almost, my brothers are indeed amazing.”
Aaah, Arletha is indeed very sweet, it's nice to have such a sister. Can Kirana imagine if there is someone praising her in front of Oka, who there she will laugh out loud before throwing out a list of Kirana's disgrace.
“So, why did you reject Raka?”
Well, this is the Queen Mother why be curious like Arletha huh? Kirana was silent for a moment, thinking how should she answer him? Is he being honest? Kirana looked back to stare at Caraka who was still talking seriously with Candra and Big Boss about business while smoking in the bar stool. Is this so the business family, even when the family gathering event was only talked about business? Kirana could only sigh, listening to them had made her head pusiiing let alone having to engage in conversation, which was why Kirana had fled by joining Arletha and Widya's mother. But it turned out that the trial was wrong, because now he was like entering an interrogation room.
Alright since Caraka seemed to be unable to help find an excuse, so Kirana decided to speak honestly.
“Because we are in a different world.” Arletha and Widya's mother looked at each other confusedly, and were perhaps a little surprised by the answer.
“As I said earlier, Caraka is almost near perfect, and she comes from an amazing family. He's like a Prince who has everything.”
The two of them fell silent listening to Kirana who was smiling before returning to continue her words.
“Mother was right when she said Caraka was the most ideal son in-law for all parents, as was my mother. Maybe Mamah will roll out the red carpet if you know Caraka is coming home, hehehe.” Widya and Arletha's mother smiled at my words.
“But the problem is that I am an ordinary woman from an ordinary family, not a great business family like the Caraka family. My mother is just an ordinary single mother whose hobby is watching Korean dramas, her daily activities are just gardening, taking part in studies at the complex. The Arisan that my mother followed was just a pan of presto and RT slices. But I am very proud of my mother for successfully raising me and my sister alone very well.” Kirana smiled remembering Mega's mother.
When I was about to go, Ibu Mega advised the Caraka family to know their family as it is, and he is now doing it. Even if they won't accept it after he tells her everything ., it's time for Kirana to give up.
“Isn't this like the story of Cinderella? Where the Prince fell in love with an ordinary girl .. but, unfortunately I never thought of being Cinderella.”
“Why? Why don't you want to be Cinderella?”
“Because the story of Cinderella only exists in the world of fairy tales, Korean dramas and soap operas on TV,” replied Kirana while smiling at Arletha. “In the real world, maybe the prince will fall in love with Cinderella, but they can not unite.”
Kirana saw Arletha furrowing her brows in confusion, while Widya's mother was still speechless hearing Kirana's words.
“I'm sorry if I'm disrespectful.” Kirana gave a little pause just to look at Mother Widya who was still staring at her, until finally Mother Widya nodded her head as if giving Kirana permission to continue her speech.
“Not all families can accept couples from different worlds. Especially the world where Caraka lives.” Kirana looked at Arletha with a little laugh when she realized the difference in their world that she had denied lately, making her heart again feel claustrophobic. “The world that I will find difficult to penetrate and I reach.”
Silence ... No words came out of the three of them. Kirana who first realized from her daydream because it was re-awakened by the difference in status of herself and Caraka.
Feeling the atmosphere become awkward, Kirana tried to melt it with a bright smile while eating Arletha and Widya Mother who was still silent looking at her.
“So ... than in the end we were both hurt, better than now I am honest with pulling the line, although yes ... lately I myself sometimes cross that line.”
Arletha smiled hearing Kirana, while Bu Widya was still silent looking at Kirana.
“Hey, don't blame me if finally the immunity I injected so as not to like your brother is now thinning. Blame your brother for him .. the most awesome man I ever know (the coolest man I know).” Kirana whispered slightly as she said this, making Arletha laugh and finally the Queen Mother smiled, hearing Kirana praise her son. A mother everywhere is the same, happy to hear her child being praised.
“Hahaha.” Arletha laughed out loud.
“Don't tell him this, or he'll keep teasing me for days.”
“Slow, I've heard of it .. hahaha.”
Kirana gasped at the familiar voice right behind her.
“Since when did you listen to us?” Kirana asked with wide eyes looking at Caraka who had been standing behind her.
“Sejaaak ..” He now stands beside Kirana, embraces the girl's shoulder then smiles widely, his eyes begin to stare at the ignorant Kirana, with a slight bow Caraka whispered, “The most awesome man I ever know.” (The coolest guy I know)
Ah, crap! He heard. Kirana immediately covered her face in embarrassment.
“The most handsome, gorgeous, smart man you ever know, and the only one you love.” (The most handsome, charming, smart man you have ever known, and the only one you love).” Caraka cutting Kirana's words made Kirana laugh while shaking her head.
“The most narcissistic and annoying man I ever know.” (The most narcissistic and annoying guy I know)
“Hey, I think the predicate is owned by Oka.”
Kirana shrugged her shoulders relaxed. “Now the predicate belongs to both of you.”
“Hahaha.” Caraka laughed, her hands stroking Kirana's hair with her eyes staring softly, making Kirana smile back. “We go now?”
Kirana nodded her head, then stood up. Everyone stood up and walked to take them to the front porch. Kirana went back to greeting everyone while thanking her for her lunch, and it seemed like the atmosphere was a little different from the time of arrival. No drama is a little reluctant to accept Kirana's greeting by Big Boss. Even the Queen Mother gave Kirana a bonus of hugs and kisses on the cheeks making Kirana surprised to receive such treatment
“Thanks for the input about the concept, it's very interesting. I will talk about this with my people,” said Candra while greeting Kirana who had given a little input about the retail concept that attracted Candra's attention.
Kirana just smiled while nodding, now it was the turn of the youngest Arletha who immediately hugged her.
“Can I occasionally contact Brother?”
“Of course, you can contact me anytime, later just ask for my number to ... Caraka.”
“Rear.”
Kirana looked to the side when the Suri Mother's voice sounded. “We call her Kakang, you can call her Kakang or .. Kang Raka,” continued the Queen Mother made Kirana gaping, she looked at Caraka who was now smiling widely looking at her.
“Ehm .. hehehe.” Kirana scratched her un-itchy head in embarrassment. “Alright, I'm welcome home, once again thank you very much.”
Kirana and Caraka walk towards their car park.
“Come, call .. Kang Raka,” said Caraka with a big smile and look at the ignorant eyes as usual.
“iiih, what the hell?” Kirana tries to escape by walking faster.
“Eh, that's Mamah's order you know, can't dispute Mamah's order.” Caraka quickly caught up to him while embracing Kirana's shoulder. “Try to say .. Kang Rakaaa.”
“Okay, fix! You got the title of the most annoying man number one,”, said Kirana who instead made Caraka laugh out loud while opening the car door for Kirana who could only shake her head while smiling shyly.
Caraka circled the front of the car, got into the car and sat behind the steering wheel with a big smile still adorning her face. Before finally he drove his vehicle after previously raising his hand towards his family who were still standing in front of the porch of the house.
“Ba jingan lucky,” said Candra while staring at Caraka's car that drove towards the gate. “She doesn't deserve to be an amazing female partner like Kirana,” she continued with a slanted smile and walked inside the house.
“I also like her .. she's a nice sister-in-law candidate.” Arletha smiled broadly as she turned around. “Mas Candra, I asked for a voucher dong!” arletha exclaimed as she walked inside following Candra.
“I love it,” said Ms. Widya. She looked at her husband who was still looking ahead. “I love it because it has made me able to see my son laugh happily like that.” Widya's mother patted her husband on the shoulder before catching up with Candra and Arletha went inside.
For parents, especially mothers, the happiness and laughter of children are above all else. Rudi Mahesa of course realized that.
All this time he thought he had done everything for the happiness of his children, but he forgot that everyone had different benchmarks and levels of happiness. Happiness cannot be measured by how big their home is, how many possessions and assets they have, and how successful they are.
Caraka's words a few days ago had struck his heart. How he selfishly reproduces the lives of his children, so that they are nothing more than chess pieces that he moves for the sake of a recognition from the community for his success, and for the sake of a prestige. He forgot when he had last seen his children laugh. When they were little, maybe, when they didn't realize that their lives weren't entirely theirs.
He was reminded how precious a smile and a laugh of his children were.
When she first saw how Caraka looked at Kirana with eyes full of adoration, how Caraka smiled just by silently watching the girl laughing with her sister and mother, how he was teasing Kirana just for wanting to see her blush in embarrassment, and how Caraka laughed out loud just for successfully teasing Kirana.
Yes, Rudi Mahesa knew that at that time he had lost.
Now is the time for him to dampen his ego and forget the prestige for the full happiness of the eldest son.
