"Sorry, I'm late."
A heavy voice interrupted them. Everyone who was there stopped their activities, not least Viola.
That heavy voice sounded familiar to Viola's ears. And sure enough, when the owner of the voice sat across from her and faced her, Viola rounded her eyes in disbelief. Naturally it felt like he was no stranger to this heavy voice, it turned out that that person was the one who a few hours ago had argued mouth with him.
Ardo reacted the same when he saw this girl who dared to swear at him, but he quickly normalized his mainstay expression as usual, flat.
The new Viola was about to raise the question in her tiny head, but Mama Lia's voice stopped her.
"Where are you?! Really long! Mama is starving for her!"
Viola frowned, waiting from Hong Kong huh Tan? People doi aja already eat first, where do you wait to try?
While the suspect of Mama Lia's nagging is just sitting in a henchman without caring about her mother's nagging, disrespectful indeed but who cares?
Papi Galih who saw the behavior of his candidate only shook his head slowly and said, "Truly Jose Vazquez's grandson."
"You're right, Galih. My son is very similar to his grandfather" Papa Martin said as he laughed and patted Ardo on the shoulder.
Is that flat to be pride? Ckck if I have been lectured by Kanjeng Mami, the Inner Viola. He looked at the man.
Long time this meal, I want to nampol face. Where the pretentious flat again, hidih must be miserable tuh people who will be the bin, thought Viola again.
"Once again, continue eating. Ardo, add dong, son." Mami Tania mediates.
Again Viola ngedumel dalem heart. Paan anyway, Mi. Pake Nak all, hellow son of Mami tuh I'm the same Marvel doang. I'm just saying Mami never said 'Son', annoyed Viola again.
"Why, Viola? Mommy's food is bad?" ask Mami Tania.
Tumben nih Mami is good, usually aja gini 'Why? You want to say Mommy's food is not good? Yaudah don't have to eat there!', Viola's mind again. So Viola tuh can only mempatin doang, ater if he immediately cleplas ceplos aja his family will be embarrassed. Viola gini-gini also keep the good name of the family.
Viola. "Honey boy, Mi. Mami's cooking is the most delicious cuisine I've ever tasted."
"Jaudah added dong, look at your body already like a broomstick."
Viola glared, Subhanallah Mami her own son who said. "Yes Mi yes" said Viola annoyed.
Marvel on the other end is like a monkey mask and he laughs. Viola glared his fierce eyes at his brother, please remind me to teach Marvel a lesson. It's amazing to have a brother like Reog!
During the banquet, Viola was not at all calm, many questions he wanted to ask. Including the person sitting in front of him. One of the questions is,
This refrigerator is the candidate?
Viola straightened his chest, if it was true then he would be the one who was miserable.
But, suddenly Viola's smile expands, if it's true that this refrigerator candidate then thankfully Alhamdulillaah finally dapet handsome man too. Even though this man seemed to dislike her at the beginning of the meeting, Viola would still be grateful. Over time people will melt also with the beauty he has. Viola smiled devilly thinking that. Eits don't get me wrong if Viola has accepted this matchup. Not yet, Viola was just thinking about the possibility that would happen. But before that he would struggle to undo this senseless matchmaking.
"Viola, what do you want to ask? From earlier Papi loi you fidget constantly," asked Papi Galih, like Papi Galih always pay attention to Viola during the meal.
The pensive Viola gasped at the question from Papi Galih.
What do I want? So much to forget, complained Viola. "Anu, Pi. Where is the candidate?" oh, Viola's mouth! so many questions why did it come out? Why not the others, like 'Who is he?' well, that makes a little more sense.
"In front of you that." Papa Martin chuckled as he pointed at Ardo
Suddenly Viola turned his gaze there was a man who was also looking at him with a sharp look. Ye sir just relax, what pain does his eyes?
"This? This fridge?" Viola turned his lips towards Ardo.
Ardo glared at the mention of Viola to him. What the fuck is this girl! Her parents painstakingly made her name, and the girl just as well as call her a refrigerator! Holy hooch!
"When is the right time for marriage?"
Waita!
Whahuh? A wedding?
Iw wow! Viola has not answered 'yes' the marriage period without her consent, not fair.
"I haven't answered 'yes', Auntie,"
"That's what you answered 'yes'" Marvel said. At once Viola glared at Marvel as if to say, 'Diem lu!'
"So what did you say, baby?"
"No!" firmly Viola. All the eyes there were glaring, and it made Viola's guts faintly. "Eum-gini ouh--Aunty, Om, am I still young at the time of marriage? It's not as hard as it used to be, how?" bargain Viola. In Ardo's heart he confirmed the girl's words.
"The two five aren't young anymore, Viola. How old do you want to be married? Thirty? It's your menopause first" replied Mami Tania.
"Dating out of marriage can be, more freely dating. In addition to avoiding sin of course, dating children today is mostly not really all," continued Mama Lia.
Viola swallowed his saliva, had berabe nih his affairs, where their faces had changed again, the inner Viola.
"Ehem, gini Tan. Mam, Papi knows I don't know this guy, ok that's easy I can handle. But yes, I'm not the one who can not be diem, the time must be married to a pendiem person anyway, Mi? Died young dong me, by talking to yourself continue to be that."
Sounds excessive, but whatever it is Viola will do for the sake of canceling this matchmaking event.
Ardo looked at Viola not accept, he was quiet not mute. Hah, Ardo could only be silent.
"It is a big lebai. It would fit if one other diem can not be diem. It'll complement each other, won't Tan?" ask Marvel about Aunt Lia. Aunt Lia nodded in spirit, unyielding before Viola became her main ghost.
Seeing Viola who continued to look for reasons for this matchmaking void made Ardo careless himself. Then he took the initiative to talk first to this bar-bar girl. "Can I talk to Viola for a second?"
