CH 12

After dinner Pandji was alone in the room, while the whole family was gathering at the front pendopo.

The night was so cold, but the sky was brightly studded with stars. Pandji was reading his textbook when he heard a knock on his door.

With a lazy face Pandji opened the door and asked Atika in a flat tone, "What?"

"Eyang and Mother are waiting for the arrival of Mas Pandji in the front pendopo, there is an important thing to talk about!" answer politely.

"Is Mika there?"

Atika shook her head slowly, "Mak Mika was out, was picked up by her friend."

Pandji raised an eyebrow slightly, "Woman?"

"Male."

"Well, tell my mother I'll be there soon!"

"Yes, Mum." Atika nodded, walking away from Pandji's room without daring to look.

Is there something wrong with my face until he has to look down if he talks?

Closing the room door, Pandji followed Atika who started to move away. His view cannot be separated from the back of the young courtier.

Pandji scratched his head that was not itchy, lately his mind is easily complicated just because of such trivial things.

Arriving at the pendopo, Pandji sat next to his Eyeang, took the wrinkled hands of the older woman he loved so much and gave a light massage. “There need to be same Pandji huh?”

With a gentle smile Eyang great-grandfather Pandji nodded, “Mas Pandji is an adult, what would you like for a birthday?”

“Pandji don't want anything, Pandji can buy his own gift if you want something." Pandji refused the subtle gift of the great-grandfather that sometimes exaggerated on his birthday. He is no longer a child who should always be given gifts when his birthday arrives.

"But Eyang wants to give you a gift, Mas! It's routine every year, so Mas Pandji can't resist!"

Pandji suddenly felt worried about his speech, it was because Mother also smiled strangely when she did not refuse at all. "Is everything okay, Mother?"

Pandji's mother smiled gently, "Of course, Mas Pandji will soon mature and have greater responsibilities than usual."

“Pandji don't understand, Mother. Are Mother and Yangyut planning anything? Pandji feels there is a mendoan tempe behind this conversation,” Pandji said with a funny grin.

Laughter sounds loud, “You will be given a very special gift this year." His father was still laughing even when he finished speaking.

This must be a trap!

Pandji regretted taking for granted a gift he had not known, this was akin to buying a mummy in a crate.

“So what's the prize, Eyang?”

The elderly woman cleared her throat before answering Pandji's question, "Mas Pandji wants Eyang to know his grandson Temen Eyang from Solo."

"Eh .. meaning?"

"The grandson of Eyang's friend was his son, very polite and gentle. I like him, I think it fits Mas Pandji. You've invited them to come to your birthday!"

Pandji stopped the massage on the fragile hands of his great-grandfather, "Only acquaintance is it Eyang?"

It is better to pretend not to know than to get stuck for the second time. Eyang's intention must have been to match her to the girl he had never met.

"Yes if Mas Pandji agrees can be arranged directly for the engagement event, let Cah ayu it is not hosted by people. Sing important is the bond first, about marrying him later if Mas Pandji is ready," explained Eyangnya with a smile that Pandji thought was annoying.

Pandji complained to himself, feeling like a stepson because Father and Mother were even just smiling looking at his half-angry pias face.

Please ... I'm only 17 years old and have never had a boyfriend! I have absolutely no interest in having a fiancee now!
