Reaching Hope
Chapter 65 The Coming of the Family

Not felt the day of Juan and Clara's engagement stay another week, all preparations have been completed 90%, only staying fittings clothes for engagement, family costumes during events and catering. For where they choose the newly established Shangri-La hotel ballroom has not been in Surabaya for 2 years, the owner is still one of Juan's business friends.

Juan had told his parents about his decision to get engaged to Clara, but they seemed unconcerned so it was likely that they would not come at the time of the event. But Juan is quite happy because it turns out Om and Tante will be present at the event even though he has put his son, David, into prison. Her cousins and some relatives have also confirmed their presence.

Unlike the Clara family, her parents and sisters are very enthusiastic about this event, they plan to come 2 days before the engagement event at the title. While their other siblings will follow by chartering 2 cars right when the event is held. The atmosphere of kinship is still very thick in the village so that if there is any event they must voluntarily participate.

"What's mom, 5 cars?" clara was surprised.

"Yes, Son. They all want to come, if allowed even 10 cars. It's been close relatives of all those chosen" Clara's mother explained on the phone.

"Mom, it's just an engagement so there's no need for too many who come along I'm not good with Juan, all the engagement costs he bears. He doesn't let me out the money at all, so please set up enough 2 cars, the nuclear family only ma'am," said Clara softly.

"Oh so, son. Yes, I will let Mom and Dad arrange for 2 cars to come," replied his mother.

"Thank you, Mom. On Thursday Juan's driver will leave early in the morning to pick you up, so please be ready maybe around 11:00 to get there" said Clara.

"Yes, Son. You don't go away for another week to get engaged, you have to take good care of yourself, yes" his mother said.

"Yes, Mom. Mom, I'll see you Thursday. Assalamualaikum" said Clara.

"Greetings" answered his mother.

"How many people want to come, Clara?" ask Cindy who had been listening to them.

"So you know that the mother is easy to get along with, everyone is affected by disaster, celebration and others must come and help. This is the first time I have a wish so there must be many who want to participate," explained Clara.

"Well, until I forget that almost everyone in the village knows my mother because she is a kind and generous person, I am proud to be born from her womb" Cindy said.

"Yes, I'm proud too. Unfortunately Juan's parents most likely did not come, only om and tantenya who deigned to attend" said Clara.

"Prophe Clara, it's important the man you're with is the one you love and love you so much" Cindy said.

"Did you know that you haven't loved Bima yet?" clara asked seeing the hue of sadness on her brother's face.

Cindy shook her head softly, the look in her eyes revealed a longing for someone. Yes, he did miss Andre's figure in his days.

"I'm also confused, why it's so hard to forget. Though as I remember when Bima disappeared without news and Mas Andre came to bring hope, the taste quickly faded. At this time Bima is always good to me, pampering me but still can not make the shadow of Mas Andre disappear. I hope he's not as hard as I am to forget the love that was once established" Cindy said.

"Please, brother, may God soon show you the way to happiness" Clara replied.

"Amin" replied Cindy.

Today Clara and Cindy's parents will arrive in Surabaya City, they rush home when the office hours are over. Just now her parents call if it was out Pasuruan, Clara immediately bought some food and snacks to welcome her family who would have been hungry because they had not cooked.

About 1.5 hours later his family arrived at the apartment, they picked him up in the lobby.

"Son't we get in wrong? Why are we even going to a multi-storey building like this? Isn't your engagement still Saturday night, son? Is this a hotel?" ask their mother in succession.

Seen their families look amazed this apartment, even they think the place is a hotel because in their village there is no building as high as this.

"No ma'am, this is where we live. It's called an apartment, it's Juan's. He told us to stay here, because it's safer than boarding or contracts let alone close to the office. It's a tall building up ahead there it's our workplace, the office belongs to Mas Andre" Clara explained as she pointed to her office.

"It turns out that Juan and Andre Nak are very good, ma'am, it's not wrong that I leave my daughters to them" said their father.

"Let's just have a chat inside, sir," Clara asked her family.

Clara and Cindy are thrilled to meet and reunite with her parents and siblings.

"Subhanallah, this is a very nice place for you. Juan's son is really rich, yes, it's lucky that Clara got his love yes, sir," said his mother.

"Thank God, Mom. May they be happy, lasting until death to pick up," said his father.

"Amin" said Clara.

They immediately cleaned their bodies, then ate together. After they finished relaxing while watching tv, their sister seemed very happy to see the things that were there. Moreover, Clara and Cindy had bought them toys and new clothes a few days ago, they were very happy to meet her brother.

"Cindy, when are you going to catch up with Clara getting engaged to Andre's son?" ask her mother gently.

Cindy and Clara look at each other, they forget that her parents do not know about Cindy's decision to part with Andre. The question of his mother again incised a wound in his heart, he was also confused to explain this to his parents.

"Well asked, son? Are you not serious about your relationship?" ask her mother again.

"That's not it, ma'am," Cindy replied bowed.

"Why is it sad when your face is, son? Is Andre kid not engaged to you yet?" ask mother.

Cindy sighed deeply, Clara understood her brother was lazy to tell a story because it would make her even more unable to forget the man.

"Sister's parted ways with Mr. Andre, ma'am. Maybe not yet a match," replied the wise Clara.

Both her mother's netra were rounded, her father was also flabbergasted. They did not expect that soon their relationship ran aground, but only a few months ago the man expressed his seriousness in building a relationship with his daughter.
