"Here they are -."
"Ervin.... They, my father and mother are coming." Asiah clasped her hands up, giving up on knowing the problem further.
"Aps... Hoot-!."
Ervin was obviously surprised. He was greatly shocked after learning the identity of the two people in front of him. He rushes off Roberto and moves 10 steps away from him. I-I can't speak. His heart skipped like a marathon on the road. How now?.
Ervin was worried that the first impression that both Asiah's parents had was a bad impression on him. I've been training for a whole week to look good in front of them but.... Haha... I may have forgotten the faces of both parents. Ervin's face looked so frustrated.
"Glupp's...." Ema swallowed her lungs and rushed towards her husband. "Darling are you okay?!!."
"I'm fine, but... More than that."
When Ema helps her husband to stand up Roberto notices her daughter Asiah approaching Ervin. Asiah noticed that Ervin was injured on his back after seeing a broken glass table on the floor and was quite worried about it.
"Are you okay???." Asiah touched Ervin's back and found a little fresh blood there.
"Dad's outrageous!."
"Huh...??? What's Dad's fault???."
"Well, I'm fine!."
"Silent. You are like a madman, why are you only wearing a towel?! Where's your shirt?" asked Asiah.
"That's... I didn't have time to wear it when your parents came in."
"Now you call us his parents?, Where was your arrogant attitude just now?," asked Roberto raising his eyebrows.
"Dad just shut up."
"...."
CRACKS.
Roberto touched his chest right where the heart was. Did I just hear a cracking sound?.... Please, anyone tell me that my only daughter didn't tell me to shut up. Roberto was so shocked that he did not hear any more sounds around him.
"Ervin go in the room, I'll get you a medicine box for a second."
"O-okay."
Ervin enters the room, while Asiah opens one of his medicine cabinets. He said nothing to his parents there even after he finished taking the medicine in the box.
"Well what is this???" asked Ema.
"Mom take care of Daddy first and then we'll talk later."
"Huh??? You inii... Who's That Man To the Point You Did This To Parents."
"He's the Father of my baby!."
"Eh?!."
"I go inside and check it out for a second, we'll talk again." Asiah enters her room leaving Ema and Roberto in the living room.
Click.
"Huh... Forgive them, my parents usually come suddenly like that" Asiah said.
"No problem hahah... I was also wrong for directly thrusting such a weapon." Ervin's voice trembled, his tone so low that Asiah could barely hear him.
".... Show me your back."
"certain." Ervin showed his back, there were indeed many wounds covered in tattoos there but new wounds remained visible on his back. Slowly Asiah cleaned the bloodstains and applied the wound healing cream there. "Wouldn't we just go to the hospital now? You're afraid your wound's gonna become an infection."
"No need, this kind of wound is common to me" Ervin said as he cleaned Asiah's hand from the bloodstains. "It looks like your parents' first impression of me has been bad."
"What is important."
"Hem? You are how, if you want to marry someone's daughter, surely I must give a good first impression on the family?."
"You want to marry me?."
"Of course!, so all this time you've been thinking what kind of man am I?, you've been pregnant with my children so what else now? Don't ever think that you can run away from me after doing everything first."
"You're leaving me out of words."
"Forgot that, now what?! The effect has been destroyed already..," said Ervin frustrated.
"Bright... Don't think too much, it's also my fault for leaving the house for a while. Miss, I should have been home earlier," Asiah grumbled his tongue.
"You're aware too, next time try to listen."
It could be a big deal if my father kills Ervin, the Alvaro family won't stay silent and destroy everything my family has until that happens, Asiah's inner being.
DEG DEG...
Ervin's heart was pounding as Asiah leaned her head against his chest.
TOKTOOK.
The door is knocked.
"Well, can you talk to both of you?" said Ema from behind the door.
"Now can't Mom, I'm treating Er-'s wounds."
Ervin held Asiah's hand and looked into his eyes. "I think the first impression hasn't been completely destroyed yet."
"Where were you the one who was disappointed just now???."
"Come Quick! We Have to Talk to Your Mom And Dad" Ervin said excitedly.
***
"Where's Dad?" asked Asiah.
"Your father was asleep in the room, he was so surprised that you ignored him."
"Gaps." Asiah turned her face to the right.
".... So, who is he?" asked Ema pointing at Ervin who was sitting next to Asiah.
By the time Ervin had dressed modestly, he was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt that covered all the tattoos on his hands. Ervin even sat like a classy man in front of Ema.
Asiah nudged Ervin's elbow slowly to let Ervin introduce himself directly. "Ehem." Ervin was nervous.
He stood up from the sofa and greeted Ema as politely as possible while introducing her name.
"Good Morning, Madam, ... Channelize... N-My name is Kyros-I mean Ervin Kyros Alvaro!!! S-I Have A Relationship With Your Daughter!!!," she stammered.
"...."
"...."
Ema points at Ervin but sees his daughter turning her face away from Ema. Aiss... Why is he even stammering like that, Asiah's mind.
Ema opened her mouth once more to ask. "You're not Asiah's contract girlfriend like the others?" asked Ema earnestly.
A moment Ervin saw Asiah. Ask what Ema meant just now but Asiah doesn't answer her question.
"What?."
"...."
Ervin turned his gaze again to Ema and answered her question. "I'm not the contract girlfriend of Asiah but, if I'm frankly me and your daughter are still not too close, we even set some requirements for now" said Ervin seriously.
"That means it's the same."
"Not the same madam."
"Why do you call me madam?."
"Because I treat older women with respect."
"But I'm not a madam."
"So you are the Madam who has power over your daughter."
"...."
Waw... Look, the acting is great. Upon hearing that Asiah was almost at a loss for words.
Once again Ema saw Asiah. "Have you done a covenant on child custody before?."
"No Madam."
"Tell me honestly."
"There's No Madam!."
"Dad." no."
"There is no Mama. The deal we made was just because I still couldn't forget tarauma - I mean... I still don't want to give my heart to anyone else" he said, staring at the floor.
