Not Sugar Baby (Mommy)
Restu's?

 “You turned out to be really amazing.” Oma Tessa is not reluctant to praise. “Not only graduated from a reputable university, but also graduated cumlaude.”

 “It was just a coincidence, Oma.” Delano is down.

 “Sadly you can not go to school abroad, even though with a brain like this, you can enter Harvard.”

 Hearing that compliment, Delano could only faintly smile. He couldn't say more because he was afraid of mispronouncing. After all, the goal came was for an interview. Not to boast about his education.

Oma Tessa sits on the couch opposite Delano. While Om Bayu sat on a single sofa next to Delano. They are in the office of a family company that is now managed by Om Bayu.

 “Well, when can you start working?” Oma Tessa chose to ask.

 “When you can, Oma. It just so happens that my contract expires next week and I still have time off. So anytime can.”

 “Then, after your employment contract ends.” Oma Tessa nodded confidently. “At least it's safer right?”

 “Yes, Bu.” This time Delano chose to speak politely as Oma Tessa would be his superior.

 “No need to courtesy it.” Unfortunately, Oma Tessa shook her hand. “Not me as your direct superior, so still Oma only if only two or with family.”

 “Oma true. You don't need that gig.” Om Bayu who was also happy with the man next to him was in support of the decision of the mother.

 Delano gave no answer and just smiled. He was confused as to what to answer. Moreover, the man who will soon strip off his office boy status just remembered something.

 “Oma, may I talk about something unrelated to work.” After thinking for a moment, the man who was today wearing a neat shirt ventured to ask. “All of you want to ask for your opinion Om Bayu also.”

 The two people being questioned looked at each other with confused looks. It felt like there was nothing else important, but they kept hearing.

 “It's about Adelia.” Delano begins the story. “I heard, she was betrothed and seems kind of forced.”

 “Oma had heard about the matchmaking, but did not know it was forced.”

 “Adelia confessed like that to me,” Delano replied to the old woman sitting in front of her. “She said the man was insistent and her father also immediately agreed, without asking first. Because of that ...”

 “Because of that ...” Delano again faltered because he felt this was an awkward thing. “Adelia asked me only who married her.” He can finally say it.

 “Ide the .. dare.” Om Bayu said that.

 “Therefore I want to ask for an opinion first.” Delano so grimaced at the expressions of the two nearby elders

“Oma doesn't know what kind of man Adelia.” is The old woman finally made a sound as well, after a long silence.

 “A lecturer. I've met and I think she's pretty good, but Adelia says she sucks.” Delano did not hesitate to tell.

 “Then? If she's good, you want to take off Adelia?”

 Honestly speaking, Oma Tessa was a bit confused by the reply of the young man in front of her. As a boyfriend, Delano should be vilifying the man he was betrothed to his granddaughter right? Not the other way around.

 “The name of the wedding will have to be with the consent of the parents.” Delano did not hesitate to answer. “If there is one party who does not agree, it feels free to continue.”

 “Then? What about your parents?” Oma Tessa would like to know.

 “I only have a mama and to be honest, she does not agree.” Although it may not be pleasant to hear, but Delano chose to be honest.

 “According to my mom, Adelia is too young. Not ready to be a wife and I also can not wait long because of the age factor.”

 Oma Tessa and Om Bayu nodded slowly. What Delano said made a lot of sense, but they couldn't make a decision either.

 “If for example Oma and Om agree, I might still be able to persuade mama.” The handsome young man continued.

 “But who the hell is the person who was betrothed to Adelia?” Although men, but Om Bayu also kepo.

 “I've been sent his social media.” Delano is not reluctant to show his chat room with Adelia.

 There was not much in sight because Delano directly hit the link that was there. It was Aris's social media page.

 “Then you marry Adelia.” Oma Tessa quickly made up her mind and appointed Delano.

 “Oma don't mind if I'm poor?” Of course the man tried to dodge.

 “What matters is that you want to work and Oma is sure you are not a lazy man.” Oma Tessa nodded confidently.  

 Delano immediately grimaced hearing that. Though he had hoped not to be condoned, but the opposite happened. If this is the case, Delano has no other way but to convince the mother.

 ***

 [Daddy Delano: I've been accepted for work and asked permission from Oma Tessa. After this, I will persuade my mother.]

 The forehead that has a cell phone is wrinkled deep, when it knows the lover pretends not to return the message. Not to be answered, not to be read.

 “Kok tumben anyway?” Delano muttered softly.

 “What's tumben?”

 Hearing that question-pitched reprimand, Delano immediately stood up. “Mama.”

 “Tumben neat?” Monic who today also looks very neat, directly sitting in the front seat of his son.

 Finished from Om Bayu's office, Delano directly contacted the mother. He asks to meet and Monic quickly agrees. It just so happens that he has no job.

 “Delano out interview.”

 “Oh, finally you want the right office work too.” Monic of course immediately nodded happily. “Where? “

 “His family Adelia.” Delano's honest answer, made his mother cluck.

 “You're still dating her?” ask the mother with a face that she does not like.

 “Ya and will most likely lead to a more serious level.” Instead of pleasantries, Delano prefers to go straight.

 “Taste Mama has warned.” Monic's face became ugly when he heard what the son said.

 “Adelia may be young. He may be a spoiled child who does not know about the household, but that does not mean he cannot learn. After all, if we are not married, he will be betrothed to another man.”

 This time Monic clucked at the son's long sentence. “You as you like it with him?”

 “Ya.” Inevitably, Delano nodded. “Again, Delano's age is enough. I don't want to wait anymore.”

 Hearing that, Monic again clucked in annoyance. What snag son said has a point.

 Monic can find other women, but not necessarily Delano would. Even if his son wanted to, it would take some more time.

 “But Mama doesn't want to see you unkempt ya.” In the end, Monic relented.

 “Take it easy, Ma. I'll tell Adel about it.” Unexpectedly, Delano felt quite pleased with the reception

 Too bad, the pleasure didn't last long. Worries quickly replaced, especially when Adelia had not come home and did not reply to chat or phone, even though it was night.

 Instead of seeing a message from Adelia, Delano instead got a message from an unknown number. It happened the next day.
