Chapter 14 Spike the Milky Way

"When can we meet your parents, Clara?" juan asked while waiting for their order to come.

"What's? Why meet my parents?" clara asked so innocently.

"Good God, honey, of course asking for their blessing, do you think I didn't seriously say I was going to marry you?" juan asked, twitching his forehead.

"No, I mean isn't it too soon? Help me find a job first, I don't want to disappoint them Juan, I beg you," said Clara with a parched face.

"Well, what do you want to work for, honey? Are you my assistant? We can be together every day" Juan said with a mischievous smile.

"What kind of job is that?" asked Clara who had just heard of that type of work.

Juan chuckled amusedly, so innocent of the girl he loved. Embossed his mischievous idea to work on it again.

"The job is so easy, you just go with me wherever I go, serve my needs, how?" juan said grumbling mischievously to Clara.

"So your maid means that?" clara asked misrepresented.

Juan was cracking up, his stomach until cramping at the words of Clara earlier.

"Darling, do you think I could make you a maid? That bad was your assessment of me?" juan asked pretending to sulk.

"Duh, wrong again," said Clara, scratching her non-itchy head.

"Speak as I understand Juan, I'm just a graduate of Junior High School, not an educated person like you" said Clara, then lowered her head.

"I'm sorry, baby, I'm just kidding, I'll let you know if there's a job," Juan comforted, feeling that he's been comforting Clara.

"Yes that's okay" Clara said with a smile.

They spent the day together, enjoying culinary, sightseeing, surrounding the city of Surabaya which is always crowded. Not feeling almost magrib, Juan also drove Clara back home.

"Honey, I go home first yes, greetings everyone," Juan said farewell.

"Yes, be careful on the road huh," Clara replied as she waved her hand.

"You know what, it's a factory with Juan, still can't take care of him" Mr. Danuarta scolded David.

"I've been trying to separate them Om, even I've been pressing the girl, but it didn't work" David explained

"Why didn't you tell me from the beginning, Juan couldn't have been so close to that woman" Mr. Danuarta said.

"Sorry Om, I don't think Juan is serious, I think he just pityes the girl" Juan replied again.

"I want to talk to the girl, bring her to me immediately!" juan's father's orders were firm.

"Okay, Om," David answered, then hurried away from there.

David thought what would happen to Clara, so that she would meet Juan's father. Actually he's afraid, Mr. Danuarta will hurt Clara. He loves that girl anyway. Why does the person he loves have to deal with the Danuarta family who often look down on people who are not equal to them.

"Today they just eat and walk around Surabaya, Boss," said Juan's father's man.

"Ok, keep an eye on them every day!" mr. Danuarta's orders, then turn off the phone.

"Okay, boss" replied the man.

"What exactly is the girl's advantage? Many beautiful and rich girls were after him, but he was never interested! I must meet him immediately," inwardly Juan's father.

"Hello ma, where's mama?" tanyakanya.

"At the charity meeting, what's up, Pa?" ask

"Juan is currently close to a girl, but the girl is from the bottom, not equal to us, Ma," Mr. Danuarta explained to his wife.

"What's? Is their relationship close?" ask mama Juan.

"It doesn't seem like it yet, so I'll meet him soon, he'll just want the money" he replied.

"Maybe a village girl like herself doesn't like money! Let's let papa take care, Mama quickly find a girl who is equal to us to Juan," said Mr. Danuarta decided.

"Well, Pa, see you at home" replied Juan's mother, then hung up.

Tok... tok... tok. heard the door of the house knocked. Clara opened the door, because the others were busy.

"Excuse me, Cindy is there?" bima asked as Clara opened the door.

Clara did not reply immediately, she looked at the man from the bottom up. She wondered inwardly, who is this man and why ask her brother?

"Sorry, is Cindy around?" ask Bima again, because it did not get a response from Clara.

"Oh sorry, who are you?" clara asked to be sure.

"I'm Bima, her friend Cindy," Bima replied politely.

Clara thought a little, then remembered her sister's story the other day.

"Oh the hero who saved Cindy the other day, let's go in, please" said Clara happily.

"Thank you" replied Bima and sat down.

"I call Cindy first yes," said Clara, answered Bima's nod.

"There are no guests" said Clara, who saw her brother had finished praying.

"Who?" ask Cindy while frowning.

"That's Prince sister," Clara replied, smiling meaningfully.

"Whose prince? Don't make a guess at dong, Clara," said Cindy, as she hurriedly folded her alphabet.

"The Five Saviors are, Brother," said Clara, showing her arm muscles, mimicking bodybuilders.

Cindy laughs at Clara's behavior, knowing that Clara is teasing her.

"Oh him, yaudah I met first," he said and went out of the room.

"Tumben, what wind brings you here again? I think it's gone in the swallow of the earth, no word," Cindy teased Bima, making the man misbehave.

"Don't do that, when you have friends you forget. Yesterday was a little busy again" Bima explained.

"Yes Bima, I'm kidding" Cindy replied.

"This is Brother, please drink yes," said Clara, bringing 2 glasses of drinks and a little snack for them.

"Thank you" said Bima.

"This is my sister, her name is Clara, this is Clara Bima," Cindy said of them.

"Kak Bima is great, I have heard the story, 3 brothers libas easily," said Clara while giving her 2 thumbs to Bima.

"Ah is normal, Clara," she blushed in embarrassment.

"That's amazing, brother. Yes it has been continued, Clara into first" said Clara, giving both of them a chance.

"Cindy, tomorrow night Sunday you have no show?" ask Bima when it's both.

"Ehm, no, what's wrong?"

"At my college there was an event, I also performed. You want to come not? You can invite your sister or friend too if you want," said Bima explained the meaning. Actually he just wanted two, but it wasn't nice to say it. Fear Cindy would misunderstand.

"Ok, God willing, I'm coming, yes" Cindy replied.

"Thank you, you have come" said Bima very happy.

Days of not meeting Cindy, it makes her realize that she is starting to like the girl. Several times he stole a look near the factory where Cindy worked, but there was no courage to meet him. It just so happens that tomorrow night there is an event on the campus, according to him, this is the moment that the place to take Cindy away. Will feelings be reciprocated? Keep reading the story yes.
