The Delayed Soul
Chapter 22
I thought hard after Tiar's parents came back from my house this morning, what can I do to prove that I am serious about my invitation.
The three of us decided to deliberate, making the best choice of path.
"Before Tiar's parents leave for Medan you have to get Dam's blessing because if you wait for his parents to return it will be long because it will be another week" said Mami.
"Well, how is Mi, too ?" I'm confused.
"Yaudah try Mami contact Aunt Vina who knows you are still given the opportunity"
Rang.....
"Hello Jeng, I'm sorry to bother you for a minute, Jeng Vina is home again or not?" Ask Mami after her call is answered.
"This Jeng's house is ready, what's wrong?" Aunty Vina's voice was heard clearly because Mami activated the loadspeaker on her phone.
"Gini jeng plan later tonight we want to take turns coming to visit there is it okay?" Ask mami back.
"May Jeng, but tomorrow morning because the Papanya Tiar is not home because there are workers who have work accidents so temporarily handle it first" replied Aunt Vina.
"Yes, sorry Jeng, did not leave tomorrow to Medan Jeng?" Ask Mami.
"Not Ren, maybe tomorrow or the day after." Answer Aunt Vina briefly.
"Alhamdulillah" said Mami relieved.
"How about Ren?" Ask aunt Vina.
"The size will be tomorrow night Vin, at home also has been handled, meaning tomorrow can be here first huh Vin?" Mami Imbuh.
"Hopefully Mas Frans has finished his business so that he can get there"
"Then I hang up Vin, thanks for the time"
"Yes Ren is the same"
Mami finished her call, tomorrow morning around ten we will be there because the night will be a Thanksgiving event at home will definitely be very busy.
Fidgeting cold sweat when thinking about meeting Om Frans with my parents, I was afraid even though they came but Om Frans still remained strong with his decision.
I decided to send a message to Tiar telling him that tomorrow morning we will come to visit.
[Good afternoon princess]
Send.....
[What the heck are you]
Received....
[Where was his sleep last night? got it? how come you didn't come here?]
Send.....
[What's wrong, how are you? who's going there? :v]
Received....
[I have trouble sleeping only usually at three in the morning so late to wake up, your parents were here]
Send....
[So what I said came out from that morning to your house? What are they talking about, Dam?
Received......
[Yes, keep talking about our engagement]
Send.....
Long time no reply from Tiar, even he stopped online, but I have not had time to tell him about my intention to visit tomorrow.
The next day, the,
At 09:30 Papi and Mami were getting ready to leave for Tiar's house, this time we went to be escorted by the family's private driver.
Forty-five minutes we arrived before the great gate of the house of Tiar, with the security guard to open the gate for us.
"Sorry sir, who's with you and who's looking?" Ask one of the guards who approached our car.
"We are guests of Bu Vina and Mr Frans" replied Papi firmly.
"Sorry at this time the Master and the Big Lady are out of the house there is a business trip" explained another security guard.
"Loh, the phone was said to be at home kok Vinanya" replied Mami a little annoyed to the security guard.
"Sorry Mom but it's out right now" Sangkal the security guard.
"Yes already called her Mi Aunt Vina" I asked for reassurance.
Mami took the phone from her black bag then dialed the Auntie Vina number on her phone screen.
Lama Mami contacted aunt Vina there is no answer finally I initiative to call Tiar.
"Let Adam help Tiar Mi's phone" I said.
"Yaudah try Dam" Mami's orders.
For five minutes I tried to call Tiar's number but none of it was answered, even I had to send hundreds of messages to WhatsApp.
Where are they all, if they don't want to see my family why do it like this.
Drrt...!Drrtt!.Mami's phone rang a sign there was an incoming call.
"Oh this is Aunt Vina calling mami Dam" Mami said after looking at her phone screen.
"Hello Vin, yes, I was in front of the house but said the security guard you again out of the house" explained Mami.
"Try loadspeaker Ren" said Aunt Vina.
"This time I've activated the speaker" replied Mami.
"Sir Tarno please this special guest I am welcome to enter" Aunty Vina's order to his security guard.
"Yes Ma'am" he answered.
"Yaudah yes Ren I'm waiting in front of the terrace yes" Mami put her phone back in the bag after the call connection was cut off.
The security guard let us in, not long after Aunt Vina came out of the house and waited on the terrace.
My driver drove the car to the carport, there were three cars, namely the car that Tiar used to drive and two cars owned by his parents, it looks like the Tiar family has been in the whole house.
"Hello Ren" Sapa Aunt Vina told Mami after we got out of the car.
"Yaampun Vin I don't think at home, because the security guard said he said he went all" Reply mami with cheeks with aunt Vina.
"So the story I deliberately told them if there are guests tell stop in front say we are not home because there will be special guests uh even special guests at the stop, I also forgot to say that you guys want to come, sorry" said Aunt Vina.
"It's okay Vin" replied Mami.
"Jaudah yuk yuk yuk, Tiar's father is also already inside" We walked following Aunt Vina's steps from behind.

Serious talk
Pov Tiar's
Ignoring him, I focused on filling the drinking water from the dispenser.
When she was about to step out, she ended her call and called me back.
"Honey here for a minute, son" Call Mama.
"What's wrong Ma? Tiar want to jog has been awaited" answered me lazily.
"Today don't go jogging, take a vacation. We make a cake just a moment again want a special guest to come" he said.
"Who Ma? mom or Dad's guest? males ah Tiar has nothing to do with it"
"Eh..this is a guest for you baby, don't argue let's help Mama cook and make cake"
"There is already a Pastri Sister like Bik Inah Ma, Tiar males ah" I argue.
"You have to learn to adapt to the kitchen from now on, let's not protest too much! we will cook a lot and the guests come at ten if only Mak and Bibik behind will not finish their own tired"
"Jaudah deh" I was forced to obey Mama, when I stepped into the kitchen door of my phone rang, it turned out a message from Adam.
I had a message with Adam, but because mama kept nagging I finally turned off the data on my phone and went straight to the kitchen.
We were both preoccupied with making cakes while Pastri and Bik Inah cooked side dishes and vegetables.
It didn't feel like we had two hours of sweat fighting in the kitchen.
After everything was done I decided to go upstairs to take a shower and ask Bik Inah to clean up the rest.
When I reached the upper floor I immediately took a shower because the body felt very sticky because of sweat.
Tin.....!Tin.....!Tin......!
Before entering the bathroom, there was a car horn that entered the front yard seemed to be a new car coming, but I did not touch it and continued my activities.
After taking a shower I turned the internet data back on my phone, it turned out that there were dozens of messages and several phones coming from Adam.
[Where are you? I forgot to say if I want to visit the house, now I'm in front of the fence but your security guard can not enter] One by one I started to open the contents of the message.
Why did Adam say that he was in front of the house, he said Mama wanted a guest? is his guest Adam? inner wondering.
A moment later Bik Inah called from outside the room asking that I immediately go down.
Before descending I tried to peek out of my bedroom window which happened to be directly facing the front yard of the house.
The car that came was still unfamiliar to me, the latest Alphard output is shiny black, if it is true Adam is impossible because the latest black Adam Pajero car.
Because long time did not go down now replace Mbak Lastri who called and waited in front of the door until I came out.

Gather in One Room,
We went into the living room together with Aunt Vina, not long after ART issued drinks and snacks that seemed to be deliberately prepared Aunt Vina to welcome our arrival.
"Tasting Vin, this is delicious lo cake made by Tiar" said Aunt Vina.
"Tiar himself made Ren?" Tanya Mami chimed.
"Yes Vin this morning Tiar who made, for a moment yes I call Tiar and Papanya first, drink and taste the food is relaxing" said Aunt Vina.
"Oh yes Vin" replied Mommy.
"Well that Tiar's gone down, so I'll call the Papa first yes" Imbuh Aunt Vina.
Tiar down from the stairs, today she looks very beautiful and mature with cream-colored toad pants combined with a collar of white bone color.
"Om, Auntie" Sapa Tiar then greeted my parents.
"What a beautiful Tiar, how are you?" Mami seemed to know my thoughts.
"Alhamdulillah good news Aunt" he replied simply.
He took a seat next to Mami, more precisely across from my seat.
A few minutes later Aunt Vina and Om Frans joined us in the family room.
"Good morning Daru, how are you? it seems like just yesterday we met" said Om Frans friendly.
"Yes this is missing with you, today not to the office?" Ask Papi to Om Frans with a little joking.
"There are, coincidentally, this morning was spacious because there was a foreman who gave birth to his wife" replied Frans.
"In your house he said there would be a celebration today, why even visit here?" Imbuh o'm Frans.
"Yes, but there is someone to handle" replied Papi.
"Then what made you come here?" Ask Frans to be confused.
"So this is straight to the point, as we talked about yesterday, the purpose of our arrival here to support the seriousness of Adam over his relationship with Tiar" explained Papi after successfully stringing up the sentence.
"Is it still unclear Daru?" Om Frans.
"Sorry Om I interrupted, I just wanted to ask one question is it okay?" I asked on the sidelines of the conversation Papi and Frans.
"Please" Frans replied briefly but still in a friendly tone.
"What makes Om Frans so hard to allow me to get engaged to Tiar?" I was hoping to get an appropriate answer from Om Frans.
"You know how old Tiar is right now? the career journey of his life is still long, I don't want my son's focus to be divided I don't want to see my daughter hurt or even cry just for a moment's love" Frans explained.
"Om knowing our family for a long time, is it impossible to entrust to Tiar to us?" I tried to convince.
"I still do not believe" replied Om Frans staunchly with his decision.
"We should not be selfish Frans for the happiness of our children, do you want them to be depressed and even secretly establish a relationship in the back?" Said Papi trying to knock on the door of Om Frans' heart gently.
"I'm more selfish if I don't protect my daughter alone" replied Om Frans firmly.
"Sorry Pa Tiar interrupted for a moment, please listen! because I also have the right to express my desires and feelings! I've grown up, maybe Papa considered not mature enough but it's not the time to be over-regulated like this, Tiar can definitely take care of himself! Tiar want of coursein own choice Tiar, after all we are still fiancee! what harm?" Tiar.
Frans was just silent without saying anything, all of us in the room fell silent.
"What's wrong with giving them a chance?" Aunt Vina gave her support.
"So mom supports it too?" Ask Frans to his wife.
"Mama just wants the best for Tiar Pa" he said.
"This is not the best name ma" Om Frans sentence this time a little higher, he then left all of us who were still in the living room.
When Papi and Mami looked at each other, we did not get a definite answer, Aunt Vina had already approved but Frans was still firmly rejecting our good intentions.
Finally, because we felt bad, we decided to go home soon.

When Adam contacted Tiar his cell phone died because he was busy with a cake to be served to guests, namely the Adan family, and at that time the Aunty Vina phone forgot that silent mode was active so when Aunt Reni called there was no answer.
While the thing that makes Om Frans still strong with his decision is the war between himself and his heart, no wonder because such things are common to parents who love their daughters especially Tiar is a child only wayang.
But inversely proportional to Aunt Vina, she better understand the feelings of her son because the closeness of a mother's heart is never wrong, she knows what her daughter wants.
When he left the living room OM Frans immediately locked himself in the room, he cried and pondered alone.
