If You Met Me First...
Anything For Thea

Land Rover Manufacturing Company Coventry England

"Let's go into my room, still at lunch" Stefan invited to Hugo and the Serbian man followed the Scandinavian-Javanese man.

Hugo can see the process of history of world-famous car brands from England even he has. The man walked into a Stefan workspace smaller than Adrian Ramadhan's workspace.

"Sit Hugo. What do you want to drink? Mineral water or tea?" haggard Stefan.

"Mineral water only."

Stefan opened the mini-fridge and picked up a bottle of mineral water while he picked up a bottle of tea. "I include addict tea let alone Indonesian tea. Viking face like this but prefer Javanese drinks ... Haha."

"Such Thea. He also likes a tea that tastes different to the tea I've had" Hugo smiled.

"Ah, you've been drinking wasgitel tea huh? Thea really likes that tea, our Oma concoction. Oma Amberley was a big fan of wasgitel tea despite its Taiwan-Java blend. I'm not even visible to Asianya." - rattled Stefan.

"You're laughing like Thea .." - Hugo's smile.

"His name is also twin. So, I know you're seeking permission from me as Thea's sister and twin brother about your relationship with the boy. Have you seen Daddy and Mommy in Stockholm?" ask Stefan.

"Have been and they still half heartedly accept me ..." Hugo smiled wryly.

"Yeah... Reasonable Hugo. Daddy and Mommy didn't expect you guys to date because Thea likes Asian guys but why could she fall in love with you...? Thea's a Korean oppa fan but where to look in Seoul right?"

Hugo laughing. "I just found out that Thea's a Korean oppa fan."

"You should see the contents of the phone... There are a lot of Korean actors there" Stefan replied.

"Geez Stefan, you're leaking your own sister's secrets."

"Let's not be jealous when you look at Thea's cell phone. I have already memorized. Okay we're serious now. What do you see from Thea?" Stefan looked at Hugo with a sharp look.

"Thea's the girl that made me fall in love again. You must have heard of my case? I honestly didn't expect it to be this fast to feel the zing ..."

Stefan raised his eyebrows. "Zing's? Like Hotel Transylvania?"

Zing, also known as "love at first sight", is a special feeling and status described in the Hotel Transylvania universe. It only happens when one person meets his or her soulmate with whom they will spend their life until old age.

"Believe it or not, I'm like Dracula met with captain Erica Van Helsing. I used to feel that I and Bila were a good match for each other but it turned out that she dared to betray me... I always feel like I'm too busy working or I'm not paying attention..."

"People cheat there's a lot of reasons, Hugo. You have given everything but someone's intention to cheat is sometimes we can not understand. He already has a partner who dreams of everyone but he wants another challenge, he is bored with a monotonous life or dissatisfaction in his eyes. We never know, Hugo" Stefan cut.

"Have you experienced Stefan?" ask Hugo.

"Yup. No one knows, neither Thea nor my parents. I have a boyfriend and I think I gave it my all but it turns out he doesn't feel right for me because I don't want to sleep with him." Stefan replied.

"You guys take care of yourself too?" Hugo knew Thea had never done it to anyone but if Stefan hadn't slept with any girl, it would have been shocking!

"We are not even men. Not without reason we do that, celibate life like a priest or a monk. We don't want to ruin girls and don't want to be framed with pregnancy. You know Hugo himself, who targeted us a lot and who wanted to be part of the family too much. We, men, should be more careful because sneaky women are resourceful .." Stefan smiled.

"But Stefan, you live in England..."

"i know's. England is the wild Dude ! But not for me. I don't drink, I rarely go to bars unless there's an office event and that's why I drink ginger ale ... Our family is very strict about that Hugo. So not just anyone can enter. Only people can put themselves into a part of our family and have to be dilapidated. In the sense that you can stand up, you can be funny, you can be blasphemous and blasphemed..."

Hugo gawking. "Blaming and desecrating?"

"Exactly."

The Serbian man laughed. "Astaghfirullah, I think your family is very stiff ... It turns out..."

"You don't know what our family is like when we get together, but Shane O'Grady knows how our family is" Stefan said.

"So, how's the ending? Do you accept my relationship with Thea?" ask Hugo.

"As long as you can protect, love and love Thea and won't hurt her, I can accept you, Hugo..."

"You know my track record, Stefan. Just like I said to your father, please check out either from oom and tantemu who owns the IT company or your brother-in-law who is an FBI agent."

"What's that?" hugo was confused.

"Fly to Jakarta. Meet both opa and omaku. They can't go far and they want to know who you are. Don't worry, I'll call my cousin there so you're not alone in Jakarta. How's it?" challenge Stefan.

Hugo laughing. "Directly you want me to be seen is it worth getting into your family, right?"

"Yup. Listen Hugo, my family is not allergic to Duda because Opa Kareem Hassan was a widower before marrying Oma Davina. Opa great-grandfather Abhimanyu Giandra was also widower before marrying Necan Dara. It's just that, nothing is as tragic and stupid as you are why they became widows."

"Is your family in Jakarta all right?" ask Hugo.

Stefan Ramadhan just grinned that made Hugo squint his forehead.

Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta Airport Two Days Later

Hugo exited the overseas arrival door and saw a man of mixed Turkish Chinese blood standing smilingly looking at him.

"Hugo Melker? Radyta Yung" the man smiled as he extended his hand.

"Nice to meet you Radyta Yung" replied Hugo.

"You can call me Radyta. So, this is really your trip looking for the blessing of the Ramadan family?" kekeh Radyta, son of Falisha Hassan and Aji Yung.

"Yup. It has to be like this?" Hugo looked at the handsome man as he walked over to his Toyota GR Supra. "Nice car Dude !"

"Thanks. I bought the wrong car because Jakarta jammed naudzubillah while this car hobby asked to speed" kekeh Radyta. "Your duffle bag just put it in here."

"I deliberately brought a Duffle bag that is easy to carry everywhere. Less clothes, just buy it, right?" hugo's smile.

"Yup." Both of them got into that luxurious sports car.

"So, were you told by Stefan to come here?" radyta asked while driving her fancy black sports car out of the parking lot.

"Yup. Stefan said, I have to meet both his opa and oma in Jakarta. And for Thea's sake, if I had to do a meeting with her family, why not. I'm an orphan, Radyta. Meeting Thea's family means finding a new family again, right? As a new person, I need to be able to adapt to a new family, Hugo replied.

"Rubber ... And relax, we don't bite or throw you into the black piranha Empang..."

Hugo glares. "Black piranha? Seriously?"

Radyta looked up at Hugo's panicked face. "Seriously, my cousin Luke Bianchi does have a bad pet... "

"How much does he have?"

"Don't I tell you, two Empangs are 100 square meters each. Let's just say tilapia can have 1000 there and black piranha can be half..."

Hugo looked at Radyta with a look of disbelief. "500 piranhas in one Empang and there are two? 1000 Tails in total ? Oh my God !"

Radyta looked up at Hugo's expression. " Oh, if you meet Opa Arya, don't let her meet the stove. Any stove !"

"Why?"

"Consider Opa Arya and the stove like an illegitimate couple..."

Hugo gawking.
