“Tante will just directly ask with Tia. Because Papa Gilang died a few years ago, so in this family, Aunt who will replace the duties of husband Aunt.”
“Iya, Aunt. Tia will answer all questions from Aunt.”
“Look up with Auntie, if Tia is from an orphanage. But it doesn't matter. What Aunty wants to ask, in the Tia company as what? Is the same position as Gilang or is under Gilang?”
“Tia diapusahaan serves as manager, Auntie. So if according to the position, Gilang Tia's subordinate. Sorry yes, Auntie, not Tia's intent . .”
“Ahhh, it's okay. This is what you explained with Aunt.” Mama Gilang began to feel relieved because her future son-in-law despite coming from an orphanage but had a good career.
“Then, where has Tia lived? Is it still in the orphanage?” continued Mama Gilang.
“Tia after graduating High School out of orphanage, Auntie. Tia got full scholarship from campus.”
“So Kak Tia now live where?” added Gaby.
“Kakak now lives in A.” complex apartment
“Wahhh, Mom. It's a luxury complex, Ma.” Gaby was amazed by Tia's reply and smiled sweetly at her mother.
“Sorry, yes Tia. Can Tia name everything Tia has? That if Tia wants, just understand soon we will be a family, Aunt will also be Mama Tia herself, so Aunt must be clear.”
“Maa!!” Gilang protested his mother's question which was felt to be out of bounds.
Tia clasped Gilang's hand asking him to calm down. “It's okay, Lang. Calm down.”
“Sorry yes, Tia. Tia can be silent if Aunt's question is considered offensive.” Mama Gilang showed a face of regret.
“It's okay, Auntie. Tia will answer.” Tia smiled at Gilang and looked back at Gilang's parents and youngest sister. “Currently Tia lives in apartment complex A with a type of house that is quite large, and also already on behalf of Tia herself. Tia has one of the latest Aunte.” sedan cars
“Waahhhhh . . . Brother Tia is great!” Gaby held out both thumbs. “Yes, Ma!”
“You are very great with such a background, Tia.” Praise mama Gilang.
“Thank you, Aunt. It was all thanks to the support of those closest to Tia who were very meritorious.”
“And certainly thanks to your hard work, dear.” Gilang added praise for his future wife.
“Thank you, Aunt. Ahh . . . I mean, Mama.” Tia was deeply moved by the warmth given by the Gilang family.
“Darling, I want to go to my room first, yeah. I have to change my clothes. This shirt is very hot.” Gilang said goodbye to Tia to go to her room.
“Emm . . . Tia, Mama wants to say something like Gilang doesn't exist. Mama has one condition Tia.”
“What is it, Ma?” tia asked curiously.
“You know if Gilang works in the same company as you with the position below you, Mama is afraid that it will make Gilang inferior and embarrassed because his wife has a higher position than him. Miss it's a boy, Mama is afraid that over time will damage her confidence.” Mama Gilang paused her sentence, “Can Tia before marriage, quit the company. Tia can be at home accompany Mama and also accompany your sister cooking.”
“But, Ma, Tia got the position full of struggle. Should Tia step down, Ma?” tia's face in an instant turned sad due to the wishes of her future in-laws.
“But Kak Tia will also have to think about the feelings of Kak Gilang, Kak. Pity Brother Gilang if anyone says a sentence that demeans him.” Gaby helped strengthen the opinion of her mother.
“Let Gilang work quietly, Mama is sure she can live you properly and give you what you want as long as she is his wife. Mama's not asking for an answer from Tia right now, but please think, yes.”
“Good, Ma.” Tia replied after a moment of silence.
“It's afternoon, Ma. Gilang wants to take Tia home first.” Said Gilang as he got down from his room.
“Alright, glad you could stop by this house. Come by again sometime. This is also your home.” Mama Gilang hugged her future daughter-in-law warmly when Tia was already standing from her seat.
“Tia says, Ma. From Gaby.” Tia kissed Gilang's mama's hand and waved her arms to Gaby.
As she walked out, Tia fell silent. His mind was floating everywhere. Gilang had to call him several times to ask him to get in the car. Until finally Gilang shook his body to disperse his reverie.
“What's up? Why did after I stayed you become moody?”
“Nothing really, Lang.” Tia got in the car and fastened her seatbelt. Followed by Gilang afterwards.
“Come on, I'm sure something's wrong. I'm not gonna stick my gas in if you don't wanna say what's wrong. Does Mama?”
Tia shook her head slowly, “Go ahead, I'll tell you later.”
“OK. Can you smile for me?” ask Gilang. Tia showed her sweetest smile to the man she loved so much. Gilang kissed Tia's forehead gently. It was enough to make Tia's heart flowery.
