Maya (Father From Anankku)
Part 42's
"How are you doing today, son?". Hartono asked as Nino who had just arrived at the dining table for breakfast together.
"Pretty good pa, as papa sees". Nino replied with a very fresh face after two days of locking herself in the room. If such a thing has happened then both parents will let it happen because Nino was so long ago if he was facing problems in his life.
After confining himself for two days so usually Nino will go out of the room and continue his activities as usual like no problem whatever is happening to him. Both Hartono and Ningsih agreed not to discuss at all what problems their son was facing and pretended not to know anything about Maya's marriage.
"Later home early tonight baby, mama's friend and her son want to have dinner here". Ningsih said after they finished breakfast that morning, but he did not make an appointment with anyone, only he wanted to see how Nino reacted.
"Well ma, Nino go first and Nino will try to go home as soon as possible". Nino replied indifferently.this time he did not want to run away again when mama wanted to introduce herself to a girl because she had resigned to the fate of her romance.
Ningsih rounded her eyes while giving the code to the husband as if he had to how because in fact he had not made an appointment with anyone, but who was asked for help it was as if he did not want to bother. Ningsih really did not expect if Nino would agree to meet with his friend's son whose account will be betrothed to his son.
"But baby if you have a woman of your own choice, mom and dad won't force you to match up with a woman of our choice". Said Ningsih again.
"Okay, Nino agrees, give Nino a month and Nino will take the girl of Nino's choice to this house but mom and dad can't turn no one down or I won't be married for the rest of my life". Answer Nino off guard. He wants to buy time and look for a girl who he thinks does not fit the criteria of his family's dream daughter-in-law so that later when he introduces the girl his parents will refuse and he will be freed from the idea of arranged marriage silly about her mom.
"Where can it be like that, mama disagrees". Ningsih answered quickly.
"Papa agrees". Hartono's answer was quite the opposite, sparking a small debate among the husband and wife.
"Here, Nino left first and Nino's decision remains on our agreement because papa has agreed to it". Nino then passed away leaving both of her parents. For the future in will think how to make him no longer forced to marry then he will bring the woman who he thinks will be rejected outright by both parents.
Arriving at the office Nino was surprised by the behavior of a couple who were afraid to ride the elevator, they seemed to push each other like frightened people and if in view of their appearance, they seemed to be pushing each other, the couple seemed to be villagers with slightly hick looks according to Nino.
"Emmm". Nino's stern voice made the middle-aged couple stop arguing.
"Hehe, sir, you want to come in?". Ask the wife.
"Yes, excuse me for going through". Tell Nino because they're blocking his way.
"Lord wait, can we hitchhike?". Ask the wife again.
"Humping?". Nino asked confusedly, then after the husband gave a code if they wanted to take an elevator with him then Nino understood if they were from earlier arguing because they did not dare to ride the elevator. When Nino asked the two, it turned out very coincidentally that their goals were the same.
Nino just nodded and the couple immediately excited and followed Nino's steps despite still hesitating. Inside the elevator the couple held hands with their eyes closed and their mouths were constantly memorizing prayers that Nino herself was confused by what they were saying so she shook her head.
Ting...
"Ah, it has arrived sir, we do not know because asim prays for us to arrive safely". Said the husband.
Nino did not respond to the middle-aged man's words and immediately left the two of them but they instead chased after him and asked back.
"Sir, do you know where our son's room is?".
"Mom, sir, I don't know my mother and father how can I know my father's room?". Nino asked back.
"Oh yes, our son works here sir, she's the most beautiful girl in our village name Shely, do you know?". Ask the wife who continues to pursue Nino's hasty steps because she does not want to be confused by other people's problems because her own problems are piling up, but hearing her name secretary is called making Nino's step immediately stopped.
Nino looked at the couple from top to bottom with a full-fledged look, even she did not expect that they were Shely's parents. It's nothing just that even though Shely looks like it, but his appearance is not as funny as the two masters can even be categorized their appearance more to tacky where the color of the clothes and accessories they use collide with each other.
"How, sir, do you know our most beautiful daughter?". Ask your husband this time.
"Yes, come with me". Firmly Nino and they also follow the steps of Nino because if not they will definitely get lost because seeing the many rooms alone has made them confused.
"Shel, your parents are looking for you". Nino Seru. Shely who saw the presence of her parents beside Nino rounded her eyes perfectly but both her parents were excited while waving to her.
"Mother, why are you here?, Shely told you to wait for Shely at home". Shely approached her parents.
"We're bored at home, you're always late, does your boss have no feelings about hiring you late at night?". Replied the mother without sin because lately he saw his daughter was often home late.
"Shely works mom". While giving a code to keep his mother quiet. "I'm sorry, sir, my parents must have been troubling you". Shely said awkwardly because of her mother's words earlier.
Without answering Shely's remarks, Nino immediately darted from the place and headed for her room because she didn't like to see the drama of Shely's parents let alone say if she was a callous boss.
Seeing the pile of files he had to do made Nino's brain feel like it wanted to break, yes, two days off due to confinement made his work pile up on his desk, it was, it also causes Shely often overtime because of handling his work, not to mention the time of one month to cancel the plans of his parents who continue to force him to get married also makes his head suddenly throbbing.
Nino leaned her body on her big chair while twitching her nose. Maya's pretty face in her bridal suit continues to fill her mind but suddenly Shely's figure comes to her mind.
"Shely, yes only Shely can help me at this moment". He then took his cell phone to contact his secretary.
