My Husband, My Ex'S Father.
Episode 42
Damar's father named Erick immediately welcomed the arrival of his son and future son-in-law with excitement.
"Honey, meet Sera, Damar's future wife." Susi introduces Sera to her husband.
"Hi, Sera. How are you?" greet Erick friendly.
"Ba-good, Om." Jora answered nervously.
"Why are you so nervous, Sera? Just relax." Susi who noticed Sera's nervousness, rubbed the girl's shoulder.
Sera grimaces,"Yes, Auntie."
"Absummer, Ma. His name also met the prospective in-laws, it's natural to be nervous," interrupted Damar and then looked at Sera affectionately, "Yes, right, baby?"
Sera gasped to hear Damar call her that, she knew this was just a charade but somehow her heart was pounding, "I-iya, Mas."
"Yesterday when I first met Mama, not nervous like this" Lusi protested.
"Maybe because of different circumstances, Ma. The first time I met Mama was at the mall, so it was probably more relaxing than at home" said Damar.
"Here you go, Mama's like she's never young. Mama also first met my parents nervous and groggy, even to the point of not daring to lift their heads, for hours just looking down like a sick chicken," led Erick.
Lusi sulked while gently hitting her husband's thigh, "Ish, Papa! Don't be reminded again, Mama is ashamed to know!"
Damar and Sera finally laughed at the interaction of the couple, as soon as the atmosphere became warm and cheerful.
"Oh yeah, where is this Sera?" ask Erick.
"Original Jakarta, Om. I was born and raised here, but if Mom and Dad are Bandung people" said Sera.
"Oh, your father and mother are Bandung people too? Then the same, Om is also Bandung people, Om family there a lot. Damar's ex-wife is also a Bandung man" Erick said.
Damar suddenly glanced at Erick, he felt angry because the father called his ex-wife.
"Pa, why mention Damar's ex-wife all, anyway? Not good with Sera," said Lusi.
"Papa kecelosan, Ma," Erick argued, then looked at Sera, "Sorry, yes, Sera?"
Sera smiled, "It's okay, kok, Om."
"So you've met Damar's son?" Lucia diverted the conversation.
Sera shook her head, "Not yet, Auntie."
Lusi frowned, "Loh, how come not yet? Didn't you meet at the cafe?"
"So when Mas Damar's son came, I was going to the toilet, so I didn't get to see him because he was in a hurry to leave" Sera said.
Lusi turned to look at the son, "Why is that, Damar?"
Lucia who understood also nodded in agreement.
"Yes, then now we have dinner! Yuni has prepared food for us" Pinta Lusi.
They also moved and rushed to the dining room, a variety of appetizing foods were already on the dining table.
Finally Sera had dinner with Damar and his parents, occasionally they chatted and joked with laughter, a familiar atmosphere was immediately created between them.
"You know not, as a child Damar was a child model, you know," said Lusi proudly.
"Oh, huh? I just found out, Auntie."
"The room never told you?" ask Lusi.
Sera shook her head, "No, Auntie."
"Maybe Damar was embarrassed, Ma," sidelines Erick while glancing at Damar who had only listened to the chat Sera and the mother.
"Why be ashamed, Pa? Should be proud, dong," continued Lusi.
"Yes, he's an adult now" Erick said.
"I wondered what little Mas Damar was like." Sera while looking at Damar while chuckling.
"Times small, Damar is very handsome," said Lusi.
"Until now it's still pretty, really." Damar finally interrupted with confidence.
"Narcissus!" exclaim Sera.
"Indeed, the whole world recognizes that," said Damar.
"What world? The world of the halu or another world?" mocking Sera, honestly in her heart, she did admit the good looks of Damar's face even though the man was already thirty-seven years old. And a glimpse of Damar reminds him of his ex-lover.
Damar laughed at Sera's taunts, while Lusi and Erick were delighted to see the interaction of the two people before them.
Seeing Damar's last laugh made them even more sure if Sera could definitely make the son happy.
"You are indeed a compatible couple, hopefully your relationship will continue, yes," Lusi hopes moved.
"Yes, until becoming a grandfather and grandmother" continued Erick.
Damar and Sera immediately fell silent and then looked at each other, the hope of Lusi and Erick that made both of them feel more guilty for lying to them. The two old men must have been very hurt if one day knew the truth.
The two forced a smile and continued eating awkwardly.
