I'm the One You're wasting
Dinner

"Why are you guys so long?" rose asked as she saw Alma and Arash coming down the stairs.

"Or, just keep reading for hours," grumbled Alma answered Rose's question.

"Don't start sister, I'll go home" said Arash who was behind Alma slowly. Because he was afraid that Rose would hear him coming home.

"Just go home, because the main door is wide open. Just go home!" ketus Alma while continuing to walk and stroke her stomach. "You're right, it's changed since mee–"

"Why are my clothes different? He said we were all going to wear a couple" Arash suddenly interrupted his sister with a slightly loud voice. "Did Alma's sister lie to me?" He looked confused so he asked.

"No, someone lied to you because tonight is night per–" Again Alma's sentence was interrupted when he heard the person who said hello from the main door.

"Assalamualaikum" said three men simultaneously standing in front of the main door.

Not waiting long for Arash, Alma and Rose immediately answered their greetings as well in unison. "Getishalight."

Rose with a smiley face greeted the guest she invited to dinner. "Jeng, how are you?" Rose asked as she approached them.

Arash looked at himself as he looked at the figure of the woman who was wearing a robe similar to the cocoa clothes he was wearing today. They look like a couple in a couple. "What the hell is this, why is that woman wearing a robe that's so similar to my current clothes?" he said he asked Alma.

Alma simply answered Arash by shrugging both of his shoulders.

"Sister, explain what this is all about"

"Arash, apparently you're quite an adult son," said Sari's friend Rose who suddenly cut off Arash's sentence. "You're becoming more and more dashing, just like your father when you were young" he continued, speaking as if he had known Arash for a long time.

Arash who felt unfamiliar with Sari just nodded with a smile

as a sign of his response, so that he is not considered arrogant by a woman who seems to be the same age as his mother.

"Please sit down first, Mr. Ahmad, and Nak Anja," said Rose told his three guests to sit down. "This is my daughter who used to play with Anja, do you remember?" He pointed at the heretical Alma after he asked so.

"There may be we forget he's the same Anja used to share brother and sister who did not want to separate when we moved house out of town," replied Sari while nudging Anja's arm. He wanted to get his son to open his voice.

While Arash and Alma can only be silent while listening to what Rose is talking to Sari and Ahmad.

There was only the sound of spoons and forks heard. However, suddenly Rose's voice broke that silence.

"Why do we start telling our sons and daughters that at this dinner we're going to talk about their engagement?"

Arash choked when he heard it all. "Ohuk, uhuk, uhuk .. uhuk."

Anja swiftly thrust a glass of water in front of Arash. "Drink first, if you eat carefully," he said gently.

"Thank you," Arash replied as he poured himself a drink into an empty glass while the drink he had offered Anja just left next to him.

Makes all of them who were there surprised to see that Arash did not drink the drink that Anja gave him.

Alma who feels her sister is currently trying to reject Anja subtly can only stay still, while enjoying all the dishes neatly arranged on the table which she thinks is very delicious.

"Sorry Anja, it's not that I refuse a drink from you but that I don't deserve it even if it's just a glass of water." Arash spoke very politely so that the feelings of Anja and her parents were not offended.

"A glass of water you reject Arash, while the clothes you wear indicate that you want to be able to accept Anja as your fiancee" Ahmad said with a smile.

Arash looked at Rose hoping that she would explain what this meant. "Ma, why even discuss the issue of engagement like this, isn't this just a regular dinner?"

"This rash is dinner at once to discuss the issue of your engagement with our son Anja," said Sari suddenly reply Arash who still looks confused. "Anja has agreed that your engagement event will be held one more month, now is your turn do you agree with what your mom and dad have planned? That they have asked you for our son, Anja."

Arash suddenly silent a thousand languages, he did not expect that his mother and father had been this close to win Anja for himself without telling him first.

"Arash would have agreed, because the future wife he was looking for was all Anja," Rose said without thinking about Arash's current feelings. "Here it is, let's continue eating again because the food will be cold. It's not good, even" he continued.
