"We go first, May and pray that our efforts will succeed" Naura told Mayu.
Tonight Naura and Alex will be attending Alex's big family event for the first time. Naura had known Alex's parents and Naura had also come to Alex's house several times, only Naura rarely participated in Alex's family events and it was because of her busyness. It was only recently that Naura started to relax and that was because her lecture was finished and just waiting for her graduation.
Although Naura has never met at Alex's big family event, but almost all of Alex's family already knows Alex is dating him and that's because his future father-in-law of course. Her proud prospective-in-law told her family about her.
"That's definitely Naura and hopefully things go well. You guys careful!" mayu.
"Yes May,"
"We're leaving May" Alex said.
"Yes Mas and make sure Naura returns home and nothing less!"
"Beres, you don't have to worry about that. Assalamualaikum,"
"Waalaikumsakam," replied Mayu.
Mayu still looks at Naura and Alex until they get in the car. Mayu subconsciously smiles at Alex's romantic attitude and who never forgets to open the car door for her lover. Mayu is reminded of her lover and what is she doing?
Meanwhile Alex is already running his car. Slowly but surely the car was getting further away from Mayu's house.
"Are you deg-degan By?" alex asked for a quick glance at his lover and refocused on the set.
Naura shook her head.
"Why am I deg-degan? Instead, I'm happy to go with Alex." said Naura asked back.
"I know By, but it's the first time you've been on my big family show. My extended family is very crowded, more crowded than your extended family or the Algae family" said Alex. Although Naura has never participated in the big family event but Alex has often participated in Naura's big family events, not only that, in Alga big family events, he often participated because the relationship of Naura and Alga parents was already like family.
"What's so much?" ask Naura.
"A lot of it anyway. My father was 7 brothers loh 3 boys and girls, Papa was son number 4. My cousin has 15 plus one mbakku and one sister. Not to mention the nephews. My niece is only one but my cousin's niece is 9 and it will definitely add up again. Not to mention the Mother family. Mother is also 6 brothers and my cousins are also many from the Mother's family. It's just that from the Mother's family there is rarely a family event unless there is a wedding or lebaran only. Mother's family is not as successful as the father's family." explained Alex.
"Means very crowded dong ya Mas, exciting for sure. I can't wait to meet them." Naura said enthusiastically.
"Remain impatient? Don't let it come later nyesal. I don't mean to vilify my family but the name of many people must be various thoughts as well, and there are certainly good and some difficult as well. Moreover, Frans tuh mbaknya not playing and likes to rise again, but not everything really, and arguably more good. Let alone my auntie bontot, she is very kind and friendly people." explained Alex again.
"Guaranteed not to regret it. Besides, I have no problem dealing with people who are difficult, because I am also the former bully and the arrogant." said Naura proudly made Alex shake his head.
"And you're proud that you've been such a tough and arrogant person?"
"It could be not dong Mas, but more proud hehe ..." said Naura and ended with a little laugh made Alex again shake his head. There is-there is indeed this is his lover, but Alex also can not lie to him if he is proud of Naura. Naura can finally change even better after having an older sister.
***
Alex turns off the engine once they get to his aunt's house. His house was as luxurious as the Alga house, because arguably from his father's family Alex, his eldest brother was the most successful. She was married to the son of a wealthy property magnate and her husband was her main heir just like the Algae.
Alex got out of his car first and did not forget to open the door for his lover.
"Come on!" alex said as he extended his hand to Naura.
Naura nodded and warmly welcomed her lover's hand.
They then stepped together into that luxurious mansion. Naura was quite familiar once they passed the car a lot of luxury. Naura was no wonder, her name was also a rich person.
"Surely this is, aren't you nervous?" ask Alex again to make sure his girlfriend.
Naura.
"A little nervous anyway?" naura finally admitted it too. Even though this was the first time Naura had met her husband's extended family, it was only natural that she felt nervous.
Alex smiled faintly at the honesty of his lover.
"Grab my hand if you're nervous and you always have to remember that I love you so much" Alex said, making Naura smile.
"What the hell is Mas?"
Alex just smiled back and don't forget his hand that was clutching tightly Naura's hand. Alex certainly wants his lover to still feel comfortable in the middle of his family because they will all be Naura family as well.
Naura and Alex reflexively stared at each other as soon as they heard the noise and it was the majority of the child's voice.
Naura involuntarily tightened her grip the more the nervousness struck. He was really curious what Alex's big family welcome was like. Is it as warm as the welcome of Alex's parents first or are they just indifferent?
Almost everyone in the house looked.
"Waalaikumsalam," compact them.
Naura could see the look of their faces differently welcoming her arrival. There are warm smiles, there are even some who are jutek and some are surprised. Frans is the one who is most surprised to see Alex coming with Naura. Although Alex has never introduced Naura to her, Frans knows Naura.
"How could they still be together after what happened that night?" monologue Frans. As Frans knows, Naura is a nice and classy girl. The good and classy girl, certainly will not want to accept her guy who almost did a se*sual relationship with other women. Is that a stupid girl or what?
Let alone Naura who is the son of the CEO, former Frans who is only the son of a manager, immediately asked to break up once he caught Frans making out with a girl at a nightclub.
Frans could not accept this, what was seen in front of his eyes was very far from what he had imagined.
As for Alex, he had smiled widely at his family, finally after a long time he could give his lover to his extended family. Alex also no longer needs to accept questions that make his ears hot.
"Alex, finally you came too, here you are!" said old aunt Alex.
"Yes Aunty," said Alex salim to his om and did not forget to also introduce Naura. Naura also followed the salim on them one by one including Alex's parents. Tere bundanya Alex even gave a warm hug to his future son-in-law. He was happy that Alex finally invited his son-in-law.
Naura who had been nervous was suddenly lost due to their warm welcome, although there were two who stared at him especially Frans and his mother.
"So this is Alex's candidate you're proud of, just a casual feeling. His face is also very market." said Roses Frans mother.
Naura who had just sat down immediately turned to him and Alex also immediately gave an unhappy look. Just sitting down has acted alone is the tantenya. It's so annoying, it's not much different from his son.
"Geez Rose, this Naura just sat down, instead of being offered a drink first even directly served with bad words." reprimanded second aunt Alex. Although he is not the host but he does not want their guests to be uncomfortable because of the actions of his sister-in-law. Moreover, for a long time he wanted to meet with his nephew's future wife who was said to have a Maga Beauty business.
"Know this is the Rose, the words are exactly as the name suggests, thorny" said auntie bontot Alex and immediately produced laughter in the room. Although the aunt Alex that one is very difficult, the om and aunt Alex are ordinary and understandably, because it can not be denied also thanks to people like him, because, their family life is more colorful.
Naura also secretly smiles and feels funny with Alex's family. It turns out that Alex's family isn't as I imagined it to be.
"Naura, you should not be surprised, Naura, in this family it is common like this and this is a medicine for us if we are tired of working" Ahmad told his father Alex.
"Yes Om, it's okay Naura really understands." said Naura as it is.
"You sure understand, but why does that look forced on his face?" said Melati fourth aunt Alex.
"Belati you yes, follow the Rose, you are suitable to be a twin brother." first aunt Alex reprimands and again produces laughter in the room.
"Udah .. pity Naura. He could be uncomfortable because of us. Naura what they say don't be taken heart! They like to joke." said the eldest brother Alex, the husband of his aunt.
"It's nothing Om. Naura is common, in the work environment Naura is also familiar like this." said Naura as it is and to be honest even though she had only been with them for a while, Naura felt comfortable.
"Good then. Ah yes how are your parents, are they good?"
"Very good Om. You know my parents?" ask Naura.
"Know Naura. It's just that Om's not so close to him. Om is closer to Pratama but that was when Om was still actively taking care of the Om company. And Om really did not expect to be besananan with the pratama family part. Clever is Alex looking for his soul mate." he said again making Naura and Alex secretly smile happily. Glad they got support from Alex's oldest.
Very different from Frans who secretly increasingly upset to hear it. He really does not like to hear the oldest who gave praise to Alex because it is undeniable, other than the oldest om most successful among them. He is also very respected.
"Yes dong Om, Alex. This means that Alex's candidate is not ordinary Om and not the market either." said Alex deliberately let that tantenya not arbitrarily talk about his lover.
"Of course not unusual. Naura also has her own business, right?" smith again.
"Yes Om already, his name is Maga Beauty is still one company with Maga Wear." replied Naura.
"Well that's good. It fits Alex. Om sure if you are united, in the future you can certainly make the business even more great." he then turned to Frans.
"This is Frans who you should be an example of your cousin. If you find the right partner, who both want to succeed together. Not just anyone who wants to spend your money. It's free that she's beautiful if she only has a bad influence on you. Not only is your relationship getting more untrue, but your work is also decreasing." he said again.
"Where does it go down, you don't give it a chance. Frans Loh should be the CEO, but why did you choose Alex. This is really unfair to Frans. You're all favoritism." said Rose, who won't take her son for blame.
"We are not choosing the rose. We love Frans and dear Alex. They're both the best candidates in our family, but the reason we chose Alex, it's because Alex is more responsible. In addition, he also wants to get married, which he will certainly be more responsible. While Frans, his days are only spent at nightclubs. Not to mention that she likes to change girls, and even worse, she has even courted her own secretary. It's not a good candidate for the Rose" said Alex's second uncle.
"His name is also young, it's natural that he's gonna change girls. Frans wants to find the best for him. You're all never young. Besides, as long as Frans' performance is still good, it is not appropriate for you to look for his mistakes." said Rose again.
"We are not looking for the fault of the rose. It's just that if anyone deserves it more than him, don't blame us if we choose the more deserving because either Alex or Frans have the same opportunity. Even if Frans's position should be under Alex, it's not a problem. I was also always under Ahmad, as was Toni your husband, but we never had a problem because our goals were the same and that was to advance the company" Alex's second uncle said.
"The reason is, just say it is because you guys love Alex more than my son." he said again making the om Alex exhale rough.
