Prang
Daddy Jack dropped the glass he had just held onto his feet and hit the floor. Instantly the glass made of crystal broke and scattered on the floor.
"Try me to repeat what you just said, Der?" Daddy Jack asked the son to repeat the words he had just uttered. Until he was surprised and successfully dropped the favorite crystal glass of his wife. He thought he heard wrong, but saw the look on Darren's face so serious that he looked at the son.
"I want to get engaged to someone, Dad." Darren repeated his words.
His face really shows seriousness, though Daddy Jack is looking for a crack of a joke on his son's face, but nil. It seemed that his son really seriously wanted to get engaged to a woman he did not know about.
But seconds later Daddy Jack chuckled amusedly. During this time his son was never close to any woman other than his cousin's sisters. But just now that his son said he was getting engaged? Gosh, has he been left behind something important in the son's life? thought.
"Who is that woman? Do I know him?" Of course Daddy Jack wondered who the woman who managed to melt the heart of the eldest son.
"Yes, you know him Dad" said the mysterious Darren. It is still not clear to mention the woman. Just wanted to make Daddy guess.
"really? What is one of the daughters of colleagues in the company? Or one of your date's all this time?"
Hearing the real words like a mockery from Daddy Jack made Darren click his tongue. "I've never dated another woman other than my current boyfriend Dad."
"Wow, that's amazing." Daddy Jack is so excited. Hearing her son mention the word 'lover' made her goosebumps a little. "So who's that woman? Do you still want to hide it from me and from your Mommy?"
"No. Actually-"
"What's? What are you guys talking about? And what's Der hiding from us?" Suddenly Mommy Millie interrupts Darren's words and immediately walks over. When he saw the son talking to his husband, it made him curious. Just wanted to sit himself right in the empty space next to the husband, his eyes widened when he found the broken glass of his favorite crystal is not perfectly shaped. "God, what happened to my favorite glass?" the screeches were a little shocked. Because the broken glass is one of his favorite collection sets and the price is equivalent to a sports car. She glimpsed with the face of her husband who put on a smile.
"Sorry baby, I accidentally dropped your favorite glass." Still showing a face full of smiles which of course can make Mommy Millie become stricken.
Inhaler.... The middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful was trying to dampen her emotions. There was no way she would scold her beloved husband. So then he shouted calling one of the maids to immediately clean the broken glass.
One of the maids immediately approached and did his job quickly. Instantly the granite floor was free from crystal glass fragments and the maid immediately withdrew.
"Say, what are you talking about?" ask Mommy Millie after sitting next to Daddy Jack. "So Mommy heard that Der was hiding something from Mommy? Really it?" And his eyes squinted suspiciously at the son.
"You'd be surprised just like me. That's why I accidentally dropped your favorite glass." Daddy Jack tell me first. It is certain that his wife will be very surprised and will not believe it.
"really?" Mommy Millie's attention turned to her husband. "What's wrong?" he continued urging impatience.
For a moment Daddy Jack sat down with Darren. His son seemed relaxed with what he wanted to convey to his Mommy.
"Der wants to get engaged to his girlfriend."
"Love?" It seems Mommy Millie failed to digest so repeated her husband's remarks. Heh. "What??" the screech then when it managed to digest well. "really that? Is it true what your Daddy said Der?" And Mommy Millie was so excited to get an answer from her son.
Nodding Darren's head already represents the answer. So that made Mommy Millie flabbergasted for a while.
"You okay, honey?" Daddy Jack touches Mommy Millie's shoulder. Of course the reaction of the wife made him worried, because only dumbfounded.
"Eh, Yes. No. gabe. I'm fine." Sangking surprised in disbelief made Mommy Millie like a daze. "I'm just surprised that suddenly Der wants to get engaged."
Daddy Jack chuckles small. "Don't I tell you you'd be surprised just like me."
Mommy Millie confirms. But how does he know if the words of their son really give a heart shock effect.
"Since when was Der? Why didn't you tell Mommy and Daddy all this time?" Yeah, Mommy Millie's getting curious. The son never showed any interest in the opposite sex. Even a few months ago refused an arranged marriage with a beautiful woman like Keiko.
"Don't you know our son, baby? Der would never tell us if he was in love." Daddy Jack snatched. He clearly knew his two sons. Moreover, Darren, it is impossible to open up and tell about the woman who has managed to attract his attention.
"Ah, you're right, dear." Mommy Millie once again confirmed. Their eldest son completely shuts himself off from any woman. "But Mommy was wondering who that woman was, so you decided to get engaged to her. And since when are you guys together?" he asked a question.
"One month ago." And Darren answered honestly.
"Fastly Mom."
"alright. What if you're engaged by the end of the month? Doesn't it coincide with your birthday?" Mommy Millie gives advice.
"Ah, right. I agree." Daddy Jack agrees with his wife. "Late March you're 24, Der. It doesn't hurt if you start committing."
"Yes, it doesn't seem bad."
"alright. Then Mommy and Daddy will prepare for your engagement. But before that you have to bring Mommy's daughter-in-law first. And he should also get acquainted with all our family members." As a mother, that conversation was something to be happy about. He must prepare the best for his son.
"Hm, tomorrow I'll take him to the Mansion."
Daddy Jack and Mommy Millie looked at each other with a big smile. It turns out that their anxiety has not been basic. Their eldest son is still attracted to a woman.
"Hem, then I'll go first Mom... Dad. I promised him I'd deliver it today." Darren ended their serious conversation. Today he did promise to deliver Veronica for a photo shoot of one of the famous brands.
"alright. Take Mommy's daughter-in-law wherever she goes. Don't let him get another man before you tie him up." Seeing Darren standing up, Mommy Millie and Daddy Jack moved out of their seats.
Ignoring Sang Mommy's joke, Darren stepped out of the living room. But his steps stopped for a moment when he found the male and female figures standing in the middle of the foyer.
"A, Keiko... Kenzos. You guys have come?" Mommy Millie enthusiastically welcomes the arrival of Keiko and Kenzo who have just come from Japan. One day before he did get news, therefore he and some maids had prepared various foods for them to eat this afternoon.
"Hi, Auntie... Uncle. How are you?" Kenzo spoke first by asking about his Uncle and Aunt.
"Aunty and Uncle's news is very good." Mommy Millie replied after she broke the embrace of Kenzo and Keiko in turn. Not with Daddy Jack who does not welcome with a hug, just a smile is enough.
"Come in. Since then Uncle and Aunt have been waiting for your arrival," he continued, then invited the two to sit in the living room.
Kenzo nodded. But his attention turns to Darren who seems not to welcome his arrival with Keiko.
"How are you, Der?" tanyanya. Though it was clear that the man who stood looming before him looked fine.
"My news is good." Darren flatly. He ignored Keiko's gaze at him. I don't know, maybe the woman still hopes for him. "Then I'll go first. I have business."
"Ah yes, all right. Be careful on the road." Kenzo certainly didn't get in the way of his cousin. Moreover, the figure of Darren again ravaged Keiko's heart which may still not be well arranged when he saw the man he loved was in front of him.
Darren just nodded silently and quickly passed without greeting Keiko, especially warmly welcoming the arrival of the woman he had been betrothed to.
"Hm, then come in. Don't just stand here." Mommy Millie's voice put an end to the awkwardness that had occurred during those few moments. He would not protest his son's disregard for Keiko. For he and his husband could not change the attitude and disposition of their eldest son.
"Hm, Auntie...." Keiko held Mommy Millie's wrist. There was something lingering in his heart as he unintentionally heard their conversation. "So I overheard your conversation. W-did Darren already have a lover and get engaged soon?" His voice trembled slightly as he asked that painful thing. But he really was curious.
Mommy Millie did not immediately reply, she just crossed eyes with Kenzo who was in front of her and turned to look at her husband who was at her side.
"really. Der says she has a boyfriend and wants to get engaged by the end of the month." Mommy Millie doesn't have the heart of Keiko. He knew how this beautiful woman before him felt for his son. But feelings and love are things that cannot be forced.
Deg
For some reason even though he had heard it accidentally, when it was made clear so clearly, Keiko's heart was as if it was sliced by thousands of knives. He really had no hope of getting the man's love.
