The Delayed Soul
Chapter 21

Adam Pov

Tiar has always shied away ever since I asked him to talk to his parents about getting engaged before going into business in America.

Previously for what reason I did not know, if indeed he did not want it why not immediately refuse why it even avoids, I finally find a way to make it open to me.

It turns out that his father was the reason for Tiar to avoid, on the grounds that he had not agreed to an engagement bond at our age.

Today I decided to invite my parents to visit the Tiar residence, I want to directly talk to his Papa who of course will be assisted by Papi and Mami.

My phone alarm rang indicating it was morning, I took my phone to turn off the alarm when I looked at the screen it turned out the clock had shown at 08.45.

I put my phone back on the table, I got up and took a shower, because at 09:00 I was going to Tiar's house.

After the shower I glanced at the phone because the screen was on, I stared fixedly at what made it light up, it was a reply to a message from Tiar.

The night before I went to bed I sent a message to Tiar about his parents' schedule, and this morning he replied by saying that his parents had left early in the morning somewhere.

Tin!...Tin!.....Tintin's!.... The sound of a car horn in front of my porch.

"To be sent out Den seems like there is an important guest looking for Den Adam" Mbok Inem said after knocking on the door.

I picked up the clothes I had not been able to wear, while walking down the stairs I continued to wear clothes.

"Well, your hair is still wet? just had a shower?" Tanya Mami who was standing at the dining table prepared the dishes for the guests.

"Who's coming?" Askaqua.

"Tante Vina, go ahead first. They have found you" replied Mami.

"Good morning Om, Auntie" I greet them, then sit across from Om Frans.

I was looking for Tiar's whereabouts, and Om Frans accidentally noticed it.

"Let's not come to Dam, the last time we came here he had not woken up, maybe tired because yesterday was out of work all day" replied Aunt Vina.

"Sorry yes jeng very early in the morning we come, so ngerepotin gini" said Aunt Vina.

"Oh no bother at all kok jeng, even seneng jeng can be friendly to our house, please drink first Jeng" Reply Mami with a friendly attitude.

Tin!....Tin! The sound of a horn from Papi's vehicle was heard outside the fence of the house, Mbok Inem immediately ran out to open the fence because the security guard at home was permission to take his wife to give birth.

After parking the car in the carport Papi directly into the living room.

"Well, there is a wind what this special guest comes" Papa papi told Tiar's parents.

"Hello sir Daru, it seems like just coming this seems to be very busy?" Om Frans stood up and greeted Papi like a friend who had not met for a long time.

"This is how the workers of Mr. Frans, always chased by the boss" Canda Papi.

"Ah don't be humble sir, big boss people can say labor, where do you try?" Reply Om Frans.

"We even though we have our own business are still workers sir, the job that became the boss" replied Papi.

"Hahaha" They laughed together.

"Sit down for us sir to have a better conversation, already?" Papi invites Frans to sit down again.

"This is how I am Daru, the plan I will give all business to Adam, but first I will ask him to handle in the new America to know his business capabilities" said Papi.

"So Adam's going to America? then ask Tiar?" Ask.

Papi and Mami just look at each other to hear the statement from Om Frans, it seems like Tiar's parents just knew if I was going to America.

"Anything right, Ma?" Ask Om Frans.

I was surprised by the question, what code was meant by Om Frans? will we talk about his rejection.

"So this is Mr. Daru, tomorrow is there a thanksgiving event? we deliberately bring this for tomorrow's event souvenirs, all want to leave because there will be a business trip to Medan for a week, so sorry if you can not follow the event" explained Om Frans.

"How come it's so sudden sir? can't come first, can you? it's a pity that Jeng Vina can't come even though he wants to catch all our old friends I've invited special for all reunions" replied the mother a little disappointed.

"Well, what about Jeng? because the Papanya Tiar is not accustomed to going alone without my assistance "Aunte Vina explained.

"Em...so is it? yes, I have not maksa Jeng, after all, it has become an obligation of the wife to go wherever her husband goes, what if tomorrow represented by Tiar Jeng?" Mami imbuh.

"Sorry Ms. Reni, it looks like Tiar can't be here tomorrow either" said Om Frans.

"Oh...Is it busy, sir?" Ask Mami back.

"No, but this is the second meaning of our coming here" said Om Frans.

"How do you mean?" Ask Mami to be confused.

"Have you talked to your parents yet, Dam?" Suddenly papa Tiar threw a question at me and gave a sharp look.

"What's Dam talking about?" My mom looked towards me.

"Let me explain, two days ago Tiar asked me for permission to get engaged to Adam and I refused, but that doesn't mean I don't like Adam, it's just that this is too soon for my daughter who is only twenty-one years old yet even" said Om Frans.

"If the problem is we already know from the beginning, it is in the form of good intentions, if they both like why not?" Answer Papi.

"You're right Daru! but for me the father of a daughter of goodwill like this need not rush to be thought through carefully, is not it true like that Miss Reni?" Said Om Frans.

"I'm also a father to Frans' daughter, don't forget I also have a daughter. But even though I never forced my will on him" Reply Papi.

"Don't patronize me, whatever I do that's what's best for my son" Om Frans replied very loudly.

"What's wrong with getting engaged Om?" I started to vent.

"Oh no Dam, the engagement is not wrong but your age is still too young let alone you will go to America, what will be your relationship in the future" he explained.

"I believe I can be loyal to Tiar Om, even though I'm far away in America" I assured Om Frans.

"We are both Dam men, you should think carefully before making a decision. Marriage is not playing games" said Om Frans.

"Just believe my son Frans, his father was loyal to cook his son did not descend the nature of his father?" Imbuh Papi defended me.

"Yes, we will see in the future he can not make me believe and believe" Challenge Om Frans.

"I'll prove Om" I answered steadily.

After getting an answer from his challenge Om Frans asked permission to leave home.
