"Om, can we talk?" nathan said, without further ado, to make Rejendra and Lina startled and stare back at Nathan standing in the doorway.
"Nathan then? didn't you just go home with your parents, Son?" ask Lina.
Nathan, did not immediately reply, but the man swung his foot stepping in appreciation of me both Renata's parents.
"No, Tan. I was still waiting outside" Nathan said.
"So why are you still standing? come sit!" Lina let her future daughter-in-law sit down.
"Emm, can you, um?" nathan asked carefully.
"Please!" rajendra replied in a voice that still sounded heavy, as a result of crying. Just the one he expected now. She hoped that Nathan wouldn't see himself crying.
"Thank you, Om!" Nathan reviews the smile and lands his body sitting on the sofa.
"So you said, if you want to talk. What do you want to talk about? why was it that when your parents were still here you didn't even open your voice? you didn't protest at all. Or perhaps, your desire to marry Renata is not entirely out of your heart?" tukas Rajendra, full of probes.
Nathan smiled again. The young man was really not provoked by Rajendra's remarks that impressed him.
"Not at all, Om. I'm silent doesn't mean that I don't care about the debate between Om and Papa. I just don't want to ruin the mood. If I join the emotion, the problem will not be solved it will be more runnyam, is not it, Om? so after I felt a little calm, I came again,"
Rajendra was silent, did not expect that the young man who was still not even 23 years old, could think rationally like that and was not rash in addressing a problem.
"Om, I came back here to talk about the problem. I know and understand why Om asked where we were going to live, after marriage. Now let's look at it from two sides, Om. My company is in London and Om is in Indonesia, while Renata is the sole heir. If only, I chose to live in Indonesia as Om said, so what about my company and gallery in London? isn't that company also the hereditary company of your big family? isn't it my responsibility to continue? if I leave him, can I still be called a man who can keep trust? do you believe in a man who can't trust? And it's not Om himself who says he wants to have a daughter-in-law who doesn't depend his life on the princess, Om? if I choose to live in Indonesia, doesn't that mean I have to hang on to Renata? well then, do I still have a face in front of everyone later?" Nathan was silent for a moment to take a pause or just wanted to fill the air vacuum in his lungs.
"I'm sorry, Om instead I want to demean a woman. I know that woman, is a powerful creation of God. However, they were created from the ribs, which means to be a companion .. who must be protected and loved, not to be a backbone, although I know many women can be both, he said, so the companion at once became the backbone, and I salute such a woman very much. But, here I want to say that I want to be the backbone for Renata, and he's my companion.
I want to make him happy with what I've been doing and Om knows for himself that it's in London. For the Om company problem in Indonesia, I make sure I will still allow Renata to manage it later, with a note he can. I also promised to contribute to helping him manage the company," Nathan continued. The smile on the man's lips never dates when talking to Rajendra.
Rajendra did not answer at all, in the man's heart there was still something he was waiting for and wanted to hear out of Nathan's mouth and what he wanted he had not heard at all.
"One more, Om. Although I will take Renata to live in London, I will never intend to keep Om away from Om's own daughter. Because after all I will never be able to replace Om who is Renata's first love. But, I will try to replace Om, to love and protect him. I wouldn't have banned him if he'd gone back to Indonesia and met with Om and Auntie,"
Rajendra's smile suddenly broke, because the sentence he wanted to hear was finally heard from Nathan's mouth.
"Thank you, Nathan, I'm finally relieved now. I'm now sure I'm handing my daughter over to you. The company's real problem was just an excuse for me, which made me really heavy, when I imagined that I would soon part with Renata and I would be forgotten. But, hearing your words, I believe that you are a very wise man" Rajendra said at length.
"So, Om?"
"So, I agree you're married to Renata. Om also does not mind if you take her to London, because it is her obligation to follow her husband. Besides, being able to live with you is also the happiness of my daughter. There is nothing happier for a father than to see his daughter happy with the man of her choice" Rajendra said.
"Thank you, Om!" nathan's smile was getting wider. The cloud in his heart instantly left when he heard the approval spoken by Rajendra.
"But what about your parents? Mr Rehan was already so angry?" Lina opened her husband's voice.
"Son, Nathan, there's actually one thing I want to tell you and I hope you can agree" Rajendra continued with great caution.
"What is that, Om?" Nathan scrunched his forehead.
"If you want, after you two get married later, I want to do a merger between your company and my company, and you manage it is up to you to keep using your company name or be replaced. I think that's the right way. For profit issues we can talk about, fine. I made that decision, because I don't doubt your ability" Rajendra said.
"Om, actually I want to say this to Om, but I undo it because I don't want to be considered to want to take advantage" Nathan said.
"Not at all!" rajendra said, firmly.
The silence paused for a while. The corner of Nathan's eyes, seen moving, glanced at him towards Renata's room.
"Renata is in her room, she's probably crying right now. If you want to see him there, go ahead! but remember, don't do anything!" chirps Rajendra who immediately understood the meaning of Nathan's glance.
Hearing Rajendra's words, Nathan's cheeks flushed. The man scratched his head which was not itchy at all, while Lina's mother Renata was already chuckling.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Meanwhile, Renata still slumped her face on the pillow when she heard a knock on the door.
"Ma, I'll be alone first! please don't bother me!" sahut Renata from the room.
"Darling, it's me! can you open the door?" it turns out that the one who knocked on Renata's room door was Nathan who had received permission from Rajendra and Lina.
Renata raised her face from the pillow with her eyebrows.
"Eh, isn't that Nathan's voice? but it's impossible, right? is he home already? I must have just been hallucinating" Renata slumped back in the face.
Tok .
"Darling, it's me! why don't you open the door? you don't want to see me anymore?" nathan's voice came from outside.
Renata sat down and rubbed her ears, "I really heard Nathan's voice right? it's not a hallucination, is it?"
as the girl wondered in her heart, Nathan's voice called out to her again.
Renata, finally believed and jumped out of bed, ran to open the door.
