The words of Daddy Kenzo are sharp enough to be with Arsen. But it's all real and what it is.
No father wants his daughter to fall into the wrong hands.
No parent wants to see his daughter cry out for the love of any man, like anything.
"I know, Uncle!" arsen replied with great confidence and decisiveness. "I'll take good care of Cla! I promise I won't ruin Cla too far as Uncle is worried. Because I also carry my Papa's good name in Uncle Kenzo's eyes!"
Daddy Kenzo stared deeply and intensely at Arsen's pair of eyes. Trying to find honesty and how far Arsen is serious about what he says.
"Today I ventured to face Uncle and Aunty, because the day after tomorrow I will return to New York to finish my last semester there" Arsen said seriously. "I promise I won't betray Cla for whatever reason!" said Arsen raising his hand, facing his palm forward.
"For that I beg you, help Arsen to keep Cla from other men who try to approach him..." Arsen glanced at his lover.
"Well!" peeking the Mommy hears Arsen's request which she thinks is strange. Initially on the left Arsen begged to keep Cla alone. If one does not need to be asked, it is certainly well taken care of by his parents.
At the end of the sentence, he asks to keep Cla from other men. "What does that mean?" ask Mommy Calina.
"I don't really want to be in a long distance relationship, Aunty... But all because of the conditions there that Arsen can not just leave" said Arsen. "While I feel, here I have a rival who does not play games." he continued to turn to Cla.
And it made Cla laugh without a sound. It was unexpected that Arsen would question Victor to his parents. It was like a child complaining.
"Rivals? who?" ask Mommy Calina again.
"It's Victor! He's a graduate student at the Cla campus! He keeps track of Cla's cell phone. To make it seem as if they met by accident!" arsen said with a little annoyed because someone acted like that to Cla.
"What!" cla shrieked as soon as he heard what Arsen said. "Where do you know?" cla asked confused.
"I found another signal when I tried to trace your phone number." replied Arsen turned his head and looked softly at his lover. "After I traced it to the boy's cell phone, Victor Yaala!"
Cla gasped at what the lover said, not expecting Arsen to know Victor's full name without him introducing.
"It is fitting that I often accidentally meet him!" grunts with a little disbelief. "I had the chance to think we were dating because we met too often accidentally!" muttered later.
Cla's spontaneous sentence indirectly pecked the fire inside Arsen's chest. To make him take a deep breath from his mouth. And stared irritatedly jealous at the lover who was considered too innocent in speaking like that in front of him.
' BABY.......!!!! '
In his heart he calls the call of the beloved with restraining annoyance. If there were no parents, Cla would have made this moment the first time she kissed and bit her lips so as not to talk about a mate with any man.
"He never dated! He knows how to keep your feelings from just short, spontaneous sentences!" said Daddy Kenzo who knew Arsen was burning with jealousy.
Take a long breath. "Yes, Uncle! I know.." she replied then slightly lowered her head.
"What does Daddy mean?" ask Cla.
"Nothing!" answer Daddy Ken who doesn't want his one-liners to be a long explanation.
Although he has given Cla the freedom to date since the girl graduated Senior, in fact when all that really happened... He is still very heavy if he loses the love of his daughter.
"Next time.don't like to talk about other men excessively in front of Arsen huh, Cla... Especially if the man is trying to get close to you." said Mommy Calina. "Keeping the couple's feelings is very important. And it all starts with words, conversations and actions."
Smiling by showing her rows of white teeth as if without guilt, Cla said... "I'm sorry... I didn't mean it!"
"Easy! You don't have to worry... If anyone does something like you did tonight, Uncle will reject it!" said Daddy Kenzo. There is no choice but to bless the two happy young people.
"But if it is up to you, and until my daughter sheds a single tear because of you, then Uncle himself will intervene to avenge her!"
"Arsen tau, Uncle!" reply Arsen.
The middle room became silent for a moment. And it makes Arsen feel like tonight's chat is over. Because time is getting late.
"Then Arsen said Uncle, Aunty!" arsen stood up from the sofa. "It's been too late to see you." he continued.
"Drink first, Mas Arsen!" a woman's voice emerged from the kitchen carrying a tray containing four cups of warm tea.
"Yeah!!! Where have you been, Mother!" arsen protests in a speech that sounds irritated but not serious. "The tension is over, the drink has just come!" his chatter made the entire room laugh with Arsen's attitude still the same as before.
Daddy Ken smiled in a straight line. Because keeping his wife after having a serious conversation with the young man who did look quite easy to get along with and joke around.
"Sorry, Mas Arsen." said the woman with a friendly smile. "I'm afraid to interrupt the chatter in this room..."
"Hmmm.." Arsen snorted without a sound. He was just in the middle of a trial by a prospective in-law. Throat's dry and needs a drink but nothing. The turn will come home so that it will not be seen again by Daddy Ken, just the row of cups came.
"Drink first, Sen.." said Mommy Calina, directing Arsen to sit back.
"Thank you, Aunty!" said Arsen grabbed a warm tea made by one of the domestic workers at Cla's house. And drink it slowly.
"Arsen excuse me, Aunty, Uncle!" pamit Arsen as he moved from the sofa where he was sitting.
"Yes, careful! Greetings to your Papa and Mama, yes." replied Mommy Calina who clearly looks more friendly than Daddy Ken.
"Yes, Aunty!" arsen replied in a friendly manner.
"Antar Arsen ahead, Cla!" the Mother's orders.
"Yes, Mommy!" answer Cla.
Two young people walk side by side to the main door of the magnificent Kenzo Adhitama palace. No one dared to look back. Because both are convinced, if Daddy and Mommy Calina are still sitting there and staring at them.
Once the main door is closed again, and they are already outside the house, then that's when the two are fighting with eyes that mean the same. They made both of them laugh without a sound.
"What do you think... Daddy's evil?" cla asked as he walked towards Arsen's parked car.
Arsen shook his head. "That's what a father used to do" replied Arsen. "Because, if we had a child and I became a father, I would do the same to my daughter." Arsen said, smiling, teasingly, making her face red.
' It's okay to talk to our son! '
