They had already sat three on the sofa of Rima's private room. The smile on Rima's face had not faded in the slightest since Navya's arrival.
" Navya, what's it like to work as Alvi's secretary?"
" Alvi sir is good for Nek."
" Is that right?" Then he came a little closer to Navya's ear. "Isn't he that fierce ?" Rima whispered but could still be heard Alvi.
" Granny...!" He glared slightly at her grandmother's question to Navya.
" Don't you see that for yourself. He even glared at Grandma." But Navya just smiled looking at the interaction between the granddaughter and the grandmother.
" You've got a girlfriend yet, son?". Granny Rima asked Navya.
" Hmmm... I'm..."
" Navya's engaged." Alvi's voice sounded cold as she spoke Navya's status. And Rima could read the changes on Alvi's face.
While Navya was smiling around her, she actually did not want to discuss this because she was also not so enthusiastic about the engagement.
Alvi's attitude instead gives an idea in Rima's head "Oh yeah, lucky guy who can get you son. You're beautiful, kind, gentle and polite." Rima glanced at the granddaughter who suddenly became silent. He smiled with Alvi's change.
" Thank you, Grandma."
" Look at you, Grandma remembered someone. You look so much like him." Watching Navya's face up close while stroking her cheek. His Grandmother's words also made Alvi turn her head completely at the two of them.
" If Grandma can tell, what's your parents' name ?" But Navya has not answered that, Alvi interrupted their conversation.
" Mr..." Alvi shook her head as if beckoning to Rima.
Then Rima saw Navya's face that suddenly turned sad.
" Oh.. Forgive Grandma dear." Understanding the meaning of the Alvi's reprimand, he stroked Navya's hair.
" It's okay, Grandma. They've been dead since I was 3 years old. Now I live with my foster parents "
" Granny is sad baby, you must be a strong woman." while holding the girl's hand.
" Vy, you enjoy the juice and the cake." Alvi tried to melt the atmosphere.
" His face is very similar to that of Hafizah. His manner of speaking and his manners, was really like Hafizah. I can't be wrong. But his parents are dead. Maybe they are dead. I have to find out. I'm pretty sure this face, the smile is like Hafizah."
While Navya who was enjoying the pieces of cheese cake felt very familiar with the typical race of the cake. It feels a lot like her Mommy-made, Finny. Finny often makes them cheese cakes. A cake with a sweet and savory cream cheese that became his favorite as well as everyone in his house.
" Why, baby ? Is there anything less ?" They noticed the silent Navya.
" No, Grandma, the cake is delicious. Vya likes. "the answer is honest.
" If you like it, grandma will give it to you to take home."
" Thank you, Grandma".
Their attention was distracted by the vibrations from inside Navya's bag. Actually Navya lazy to lift it, when looking at the name listed on the screen of his phone. But there was no way he would ignore it anymore, it could be that the two people in front of him were suspicious.
" I'm sorry, sir, Grandma, I'll take it for a minute."
Rima and Alvi nodded.
" Hello... Mas Dafin."
" I'll pick you up. Mommy's waiting for us at the boutique."
" But, Vya is still out with Mr. Alvi. "
" Yes, you have sent me your location now, I'll take you there."
" Yes, yes ."
After hanging up the phone call from Dafin, Navya then sent the address of the bakery where she was now. Alvi feels strange with the way Navya talks to the stiff impressed. Navya is not talking to her boyfriend.
" I'm sorry sir, I have a need. Mami asked me and Mas Dafin for wedding dress fittings."
" Yes, I'll take you."
" No, no, sir. Dafin has already come here. I sent her address. Then excuse me, Grandma, let me just wait in front."
" Next time you have to come again, son." Rima seemed to feel very close to Navya, even though the first time they spoke to each other.
" Let me accompany you outside." Alvi then opens the door for Navya.
They walked out of Rima's private room, and sat on the sofa of the cookie shop lobby. "Dafin hasn't come yet, you just wait here first. I've got something to take in the car."
Navya nodded while sitting her body there. Not long after that Alvi had entered the store and approached Navya while giving 2 paper bags that he had brought from the boutique. "Make you."
"What is this sir?" Baffled. He also has not taken what Alvi handed to him.
"This is for you, I bought this at the boutique." Take Navya's hand and hand over the paper bag. Navya will already be voicing, refusing, "This is an order. Refuse not!" Rigorously.
And what else Navya will say besides thank you. Actually he's not good, who he is to get something from his boss. Moreover, the price of clothes available at the boutique is quite fantastic. Not that Navya was unusual in the price of branded goods, the money she had earned from Damar and Finny was more than enough for her to spend. but Navya is not too fond of expensive goods. He just likes to wear what he feels comfortable with. Sometimes Finny is the one who often buys him expensive things.
They came out, after Dafin called that he had arrived. "You shouldn't have to give me anything like this, I'm not good."
" It's okay, consider it a bonus for you. Don't forget to wear it at our office later."
" Thank you again, sir. Excuse me."
Then he got into Dafin's car. Dafin opened his car window to greet Alvi.
" Al, I'm not coming down. Mami is waiting"
" It's Ok.." Alvi replied with a smile.
Closed with the sound of her car horn, Dafin and Navya passed from there. Alvi was still standing there until the car was gone from her sight.
***
" You're shopping ?" Dafin suddenly broke the silence between them. He noticed the items located in the back seat that Navya had brought.
" Oh, this is Mr. Alvi's gift. And that's the cheese cake, Grandma Mr. Alvi gave it."
" It's so good that your boss, you haven't even been a month to work with Alvi?" And why is Dafin so chatty.
" I don't know Mas, I just accept him to appreciate Mr. Alvi."
And they did not talk anymore until the car stopped at a boutique parking lot that was no less famous than the one Navya came with Alvi earlier.
Inside there is Finny and a woman who owns the boutique. " You come in first, I'll catch up. Inside there's Mommy."
" Good Brother."
Then Navya walks inside, an employee escorts her to a room where Finny is.
" Mommy.."
" Here baby, come in. This is Mel my future daughter-in-law." Finny patted the empty spot next to him. Before sitting down, Navya greets Melly, she kisses her hand.
" It's so pretty, baby. You met where the hell Fin is." The words of Melly who is the wife of her friend Damar and the owner of the boutique managed to make Navya's cheeks red.
" Hahaha, you can. Navya is actually my adopted son. You remember when we had a reunion at the top, other than Dafin, me and Mas Damar brought a daughter."
" Oh I remember. Oh my, you're a big man."
"Vy, where's Dafin?" Finny asks because he did not see his son when Navya came.
" So Dafin asked Vya to come in first Mi, I think he had a business for a while."
" Basic boy, let me call him." But Finny had not had time to press Dafin's number, the door in front of him was open. He raises a questionable figure by Finny. " Where have you been Fin?"
" Oh, Dafin's got a call from my office."
And then, as per their purpose of coming there. Navya and Dafin do fittings for wedding attire and reception. Like any bride-to-be couple in general, Dafin and Navya should be very enthusiastic when choosing clothes for their important day. But the excitement was even seen from the Mami. They both just let go. Even when Finny asked them to pose for photos, Dafin and Navya looked stiff.
