The Seed of my Friend's Beloved

The Seed of my Friend's Beloved
Rest


Melati and Kevin were greeted by Kevin's parents with warm smiles. Doubt that was in the heart of Melati before vanished with the friendly attitude shown by her two lover's parents.


Not just a warm welcome. It turns out that Tika's mother Kevin has prepared dinner for the four of them at Kevin's house which is much larger than Melati's house. The four of them are now sitting face to face at the dining table with a variety of good food on the table.


"Let's be eaten don't be ashamed. Think of it at home alone," said Tika's mother invited Melati to take food for herself. Melati smiled nervously and still felt embarrassed to move her hand to grab the spoon.


Kevin is aware of his lover's attitude and he understands it. Kevin took the initiative to take food for his lover. It made the smiles on the faces of his parents remain visible. Tika's mother and Raka sir can see if Kevin loves Melati very much and vice versa.


There is nothing that makes a parent happy other than seeing their child successful and happy. Kevin can be said to be successful with the position of manager at the age of not reaching thirty years. For Mr. Raka and Tika's mother there is no point in wasting time dating if later it will still be a match.


After that dinner. Both of Kevin's parents expressed their hopes for Kevin and Melati's relationship.


"So, Kevin's age is no longer a teenager. And it is appropriate to think of marriage. What about you Melati. Are you ready to marry young?" ask Mr. Raka without saying stale.


Melati. Talks like this is what he avoids so he is not willing to meet the parents of Kevin all this time.


"We just want the best for your relationship Melati. We asked Kevin to introduce you to us. Because we give you the blessing of this relationship," Tika's mother added.


Kevin touches Melati's arm to answer her parents' questions. If asked, he would agree. But to force his will to marry as soon as possible with Melati. Kevin doesn't do that either. The love in his heart was too deep that he could not see Melati being forced let alone depressed.


"But I'm still a college aunt, um."


Melati said that so that Mr. Raka and Tika's mother can understand and patiently wait for her to graduate college in two years because that is what she wants. Melati wants to get married after she holds a college degree like Mama Lena wants. Mama Lena once expressed her wish when she was healthy and Melati wanted to realize her wish.


Melati squeezed the end of her dress. She was worried, her answer disappointed both of Kevin's parents who were sitting opposite her and changed their attitude towards her. Apparently not, hearing the answer. Mr. Raka and Tika's mother heard a small laugh.


"So you think if you're still in college can't marry Mel?. Aunty used to be like that. Married while still in college and om Raka already working. We dated exactly like you guys used to. But look, our household is lasting, right?. The most important thing is that you love each other and Kevin can support you."


Mr. Raka smiled as he nodded his head confirming his wife's words. Not without reason they want Kevin married as soon as possible because Kevin's age is appropriate to get married.


"True Mel, if we get married. I will not limit your movement let alone college. Trust me. Everything's gonna be okay. Nothing will change but my status and responsibilities to you."


Melati felt increasingly uneasy in her heart but tried to remain calm. The words of Kevin's parents sound sincere to want him to be a son-in-law. Honestly, Melati was affected by the words of the person but there was still something stuck in her heart. If she gets married soon, then what about Mama Lena?.


"Mama aunt. My mom had a severe stroke. And only I can take care of mama right now," said Melati honestly. It is heavy of his heart to reveal the reason but it must be for the sake of his obligation to mama Lena .


"You're Mel's dream daughter-in-law. Aunty likes a filial child like you," praise Mama Tika honestly.


"True, your devotion to parents adds to your plus in our eyes."


Mr. Raka also praised Melati. For those children who are devoted to their parents are good children. They are getting happy because Kevin is not wrong when it comes to choosing a partner.


"By marrying Kevin will lighten your burden Mel. Kevin is not only responsible to you but also to your mother."


Jasmine exhaled her breath as if it was heavy giving a decision at this moment.


"We're not forcing you to give an answer now Melati. You can think first. Whatever your decision will be we will appreciate."


"Thank you om. Auntie," said Melati feeling relieved. She looked at Kevin. Melati could see there was disappointment on her lover's face. Seems less satisfied with his answer.


Melati lowered her head. He could not see Kevin's face. If you think, Kevin has sacrificed a lot for himself. Not just because of the daily shuttle. Sometimes, Kevin also accompanies himself to bring Mama Lena treatment. Not just that. Kevin also lightens the burden of Melati by paying for the services of a maid every month who works at Melati's house.


Kevin is a good guy for Melati. The man never raised his voice to Melati. Kevin is very patient in dealing with Melati's attitude. Really, Melati also did not want to lose that man.


"Do you still doubt my love Mel?" ask Kevin slowly. Jasmine shook her head quickly. He does not doubt the love of his beloved. He really believes in Kevin.


"If I answered yes now. How long do you think the wedding will take?" ask Melati at last.


"If we were up to you. It could be three or more of the most important marriages this year" Tika's mother said.


"All right, I'm ready. But if it's the end of the year."


Kevin develops his smile as well as Raka and Tika's mother. Finally they get the certainty of Kevin's relationship with his girlfriend.
