Tenry knew he could not visit the prospective-in-law's house empty-handed, so Tenry bought a lot of food from the Chinesse food restaurant. Bringing something can pave the way for the sincerity of his plan tonight.
All the adults in this house finally knew what Tenry meant to come home. The conversation was held after dinner. All family members want to hear directly, so they sit not far from the front room.
There was Hanie who was deliberately sitting not far from Tenry right next to Holly. Mama herself just sat for a while, as if she had no emotions whatsoever for something as important as this.
"By the way your father..."
Once the sentence mama Ibeth then returned to his room with a lot of stitches.
Holly felt sad in her heart at the indifferent response of mama. The happy feeling of feeling confidence in Tenry's attitude when asking for permission to marry was evicted by the unpleasant feelings that soon dominated the response of his mother.
Tenry finished expressing his heart's intention to ask for permission to marry Holly, sentence by sentence which he spoke fluently. Although accompanied by nervousness, but relief can be revealed to Holly's parents.
After Tenry spoke, Papa Dol in a voice made sad with a voice like a father who is not willing to lose a favorite child began to do 'orning' about his sickly self, about the economic condition of the family, about the family, and how precious Holly was as the youngest child.
Since her father spoke Hanie held back strongly for not liking her papa's trite story, she knew where her estranged mother was. Hearing it was all like hearing the deafening sound of a racing exhaust, even though the voice of the papa was weak.
When saying about the treasure suddenly his voice turned authoritative.
"So Tenry, you can't just ask people's children. If you're willing to fulfill what I'm asking for, please marry Holly. I don't matre ya, just blatantly that I still hold the family custom there is a treasure given the groom."
"Yes, I understand..."
"Tell your parents about this, every family has hereditary rules..."
"Yes, I will tell you..."
"I wait before the wedding.Let's not bother, my house will be looking for, around here a lot to sell, I've bargained there are some... if the price is right, I will tell you... I don't want to move anywhere else.
"Pa.. don't overdo it, it's not obligatory that's actually, Herlina there Helny they marry just don't bring their property here, even those who live here..."
Hanie began to be angry to see his papa which clearly looks had planned this.
"Silence you're Hanie! You know what? It's in the best interest of Tenry's family name.All the neighbors already know Holly's boyfriend is rich, do not lose their prestige if the neighbors know they do not give property..."
"Papa exaggerates, even if Tenry wants to give something that is his willingness, do not sue pa..."
"You get out of here, Hanie, just interrupt..."
Hanie smiled cynically and did not get out of her chair, she had long not get along with the papa. Holly was sitting uneasily as well as feeling helpless as it was impossible to stop her papa.
"Tenry listen. I don't want to just give my daughter... You asked Holly to be your wife, so you're obliged to give us what our parents want..."
"So this.. Papa wants to sell Holly that way? Want to exchange Holly for a treasure?"
Hanie said again the higher because she could not hold herself anymore.
"Don..."
Tenry calms his best friend down to stop arguing with his own papa. He knew Hanie had always been cynical about her papa and was the child who argued the most about her behavior. He wanted to end this conversation immediately, Holly's feelings were evident in Holly's facial expression, the only way was to agree to her future-in-law's request.
"You better get out now..."
Papa Dol kicked Hanie out. Hanie snorted, her eyes rubbed against Tenry, the small arm of Tenry's head like a signal to him to be quiet.
"All the requests I had before marriage already existed..."
"I follow tradition..."
"Yes, I understand... My mom and dad and my family will come here to propose to Holly officially, the plan is early in the year, maybe in the second week of January..."
Tau-tau mama Ibeth appears with a circular senti around her neck. Tenry's last words could reach my mother Ibeth's ears.
"Ma.. in the house just .. it's better..."
Hanie chimed in, getting more riled up with her parents.
"The daughter of Mrs Reinny's proposal as well as her fiance was adain in the restaurant..."
"Why should I see someone else?"
"This house does not deserve to be a place of event, narrow. besides now people hold events in restaurants..."
Hanie exhaled in annoyance.
"I'll be talking to old people first..."
Tenry eventually mediates before becoming sharp again and will automatically get longer.
"Om, aunty, the important thing I've made my point, later with my parents..."
"Don't forget what you said before, and you don't accept promises..."
"Yes, I will try..."
Without further ado both mama Ibeth and papa Dol left Tenry. Tenry and Hanie took a breath and threw it away for different reasons. The only sprain was so relieved that it had one step forward to the orientation point he had dreamed of.
Tenry immediately stood up to Holly, grabbed and held Gentle Holly's hand, he could feel Holly who had wanted to get out of here.
"We're going home?"
Holly just nodded, since then she looked down as if she kept her emotions to herself, in contrast to Hanie who immediately vaporized her.
"You guys, I'd like to be here any minute..."
Hanie was still not satisfied, there was something she had to finish with her parents.
.
After getting into the car, Tenry who knew Holly's state of heart immediately grabbed the small body.
"Here's a minute..have a hug first..."
Tenry's hand rubbed Holly's head.
"Don't cry yeah.learn strong emotions..."
Holly tried to control herself, her head went deeper into Tenry's arms, looking for her calm and peace there. In this deckapan he felt the warmth of love that became the reinforcement of his soul.The emotion since leaving here to face with papa and his mother, now evaporated especially when Tenry's hand continued to wipe the back, and the, leaving a coolness that neutralizes all the anger and sadness.
"One step we have passed. definitely the next easier, think of the great happiness that awaits after marriage... so from now on throw the sad away..."
"Yes..."
"My baby.. unfortunately Koko..."
The hug tightened, only the love they wanted and the love filled the recesses of the heart, each drop of love replacing the tear drops on Holly's cheek, the love that makes him learn to be strong and learn to be strong.
Tenry let go of his actual breath. Inwardly thinking whether her parents could agree to all of Holly's parents' requests. He was worried about this, had agreed earlier, but not necessarily with his parents.
