Reaching Hope
Chapter 67 In Hina Again

"Son, we go home first yes, you take good care of yourself here. We just go with the group, sorry the driver Nak Juan had to go back and forth to pick us up" said Clara and Cindy's mother.

"As much as the Father and Mother just how good, it's pastries and food just brought enough to stock during the trip," replied Clara.

"Yes, Son. Thank you, all the brothers are very happy with last night's party. Son Juan also to give them a room to rest in the hotel, they feel very appreciated. It turns out that not all rich people are arrogant, son Juan and his family are very good. Clara is patient, maybe over time her parents will bless your relationship, the important thing is not to stop praying," said her mother.

"Yes, Mom. Every prayer I always pray for the good of everyone. You guys be careful on the road, if there's time we'll go home" Clara replied.

After saying goodbye they drove her into the car and greeted her brothers who had come far from the village to attend her engagement. They don't stop by for fear that the time isn't enough.

***

A week had passed, the days continued as usual. Their routine is back as it was before, working every day and taking a weekend off.

This Sunday Clara invited Juan to attend the wedding of one of her family members.

"Assalamualaikum My love, are you ready?" ask Juan.

"Greetings, maybe 10 minutes, baby," replied Clara.

"Ok, I'll be there in half an hour. Wait, yeah, honey. Assalamualaikum" said Juan.

"OK, Honey. Salam waalaikum" replied Clara.

Clara appears to be staring at herself in the mirror, although her wedding dressings are as natural as ever. If usually in the village women will dress up frenzied when there is a party invitation, Clara prefers natural only. The clothes we wear also prefer simple but elegant.

"Duh who wants to be brought to the family event of a lover has not finished also the grooming, it is perfect really. Do not look at the mirror will break lo," ledek Cindy who has seen Clara for approximately 2 hours looking for the right clothes and dress up.

"Duh Brother makes it even more groggy, I am restless because this is the prime I was invited to Juan's family party. Automatically all his family is present including Juan's parents are likely to come. Hopefully everything goes well, brother," said Clara.

"Amin, I will wish you all the best. The important thing is that you must be sure that you have gone this far, just one step away from marriage, may Allah ease your hopes" Clara said.

"Thank you, brother. Didn't you come out today?" ask Clara.

"Together, Clara. Later Bima want to pick up, he said to invite to a special place that is beautiful and we have never visited. Evening must have gone home" replied Cindy.

"Oh, yes Brother be careful. I don't know for sure what time I'll be home, I'll call you on the phone, sister," said Clara.

"Yes, no problem. That's your phone ringing, maybe Juan has arrived" Cindy said.

"Oh yes, Brother. I'll go first, see you later" Clara replied.

"Darling, you are so beautiful. Especially with your hair that you dyed brownish like this, you are like a walking doll. I'm just stunned to see you, what about everyone else. It turns out there is no good yes have a beautiful lover, must be willing to see others, it does not feel sincere," said Juan.

"You're from earlier on the dreadlocks, honey. You think I'm willing that all women don't blink see the handsome face of my future husband. You are handsome, good position, abundant property, especially good for mercy, who try not to be tempted by my lover," said Clara with a sullen face.

Clara's words were right, all this time I don't know how many girls were chasing her. Starting from relatives, business associates, school friends and college, even many employees who openly pursue it. But he was always indifferent, but when he first saw Clara his heart was immediately adrift.

After a 2-hour journey they arrived at the venue. The host greeted them kindly once, they immediately mingled with the other invited guests. Juan's parents looked at them as they arrived, but there seemed to be no desire for them to say hello.

"Jeng, your future daughter-in-law is so beautiful. Very compatible with your son, do not forget the law if they marry you," said one of the guests to mama Juan.

He glanced at Juan and Clara, indeed they were compatible. If Clara were from the same class as them, her husband would have approved of the relationship.

"Yes, I'd invite them if they got married. Pray yes" replied Juan.

"Eh, but you guys don't approve of their relationship, do you?" ask the woman.

"Ah don't talk about it, I want to find my husband first yes," replied Mama Juan trying to avoid.

"Ma, look at that Juan has begun to dare to invite the village girl to family events like this. When the day they got engaged, now to the family event, tomorrow-tomorrow they will be determined to get married even though we do not agree," said her husband furious.

"Already, Pa. Let them be together, their blessing, so that our relationship with Juan will be harmonious again. Juan seems happy with Clara" said his wife.

"How dare you say that. Don't you ever mention the name of that village girl in front of me, and never defend them! Until whenever I disagree she gave birth to my offspring!" snapped at her husband, freaking her out.

"Yes, don't yell that way, be embarrassed to sound like someone else" his wife relented.

The party went very well. Mr. Danu could not take his eyes off Clara and Juan. As Juan was joining his relatives, and Clara moved away to grab a drink, it was seen that Mr. Danu was pulling his hand away from the crowd.

"Until when will you survive with my son? Did you dump my son's treasure? Look, I'll never approve of your relationship even if you're engaged, do you understand?" tanyanya was a little screaming.

"I've said that I love Juan sincerely, not for possessions. Why do you hate me so much, is it true that I am a poor country girl?" clara asked calmly.

"Of course it's because you don't deserve to be with my son! As long as you know, dirt even if mixed with the most expensive perfume will never be able to cover the smell. Such is the parable of you and Juan!" he was very insulting to Clara.

The man rushed away after being content to insult Clara. The girl was silent trying to calm her feelings, she had to be strong because this was her choice. Although his lover's father's words were sarcasm once and deeply hurt his heart and feelings.
