Jevian drove his car to the restaurant where his nephew was celebrating his birthday. Along the way, Adisti was silent. He was nervous not playing. Indeed, he came with Jevian as a friend, no more because they did not have any relationship other than friendship, but somehow Jevian family judgment later.
Worry fiddled with Adisti's mind. Not all rich people have an open nature and are willing to accept low-caste people like himself like the Rainero family. For him the Rainero family is truly an extraordinary family. They are a family of conglomerates, but they never distinguish the status of the people around them. In fact they not only accepted Shenina with open arms, but she and Gladys were just ordinary people, even foreign nationals as members of their families. They did not bother about him and Gladys who remained good friends with Shenina. Even Delena often invited them to lunch together. They are considered like their own family.
But for some reason, he doubted that the Jevian family would accept his presence in their midst.
Adisti's nervous expression turns out to be captured by Jevian. He then invited Adisti to talk to unravel his nervousness.
"Any silence? A sariawan?" ledek Jevian made Adisti flinch and then glared.
"Dental pain, why?"
Cittt ...
Suddenly Jevian braked suddenly. Fortunately Adisti wearing a seat belt, otherwise his face will definitely hit the dashboard of the car.
"Nrank ..."
"Ah, sorry, sorry, are you okay?" ask Jevian to worry.
"Why are you suddenly?" adisti Protest.
"That was, you said toothache? If so, let's go to the doctor first, how?"
Adisti rolled his eyes lazily, "no, no need."
"But ... "
"I don't have a toothache."
"So you said that?"
"I'm just kidding. Ah, continue the road. Be late, I'm the one you're wrong."
Jevian chuckled, "if it's too late, yes mending go home. Continue to eat in your apartment, how?"
"So, not capital. To the cake restaurant, masa' has been dandan-beautiful eating back and forth to the apartment," Adisti said.
"If .. but if you want to go to a restaurant, okay too. No problem."
"By the way, that's your nephew's birthday, right? Brother's son or what?"
"Actually it's cousin's son."
"Oh," Adisti only ber'oh ria only.
"Not nervous anymore?"
"Eh?"
Jevian chuckled as he looked at Adisti's expression which he thought was adorable.
Before long, Jevian's car had been parked in the courtyard of a fancy restaurant.
Adisti also gushed open the seat belt and held the door handle, but had not had time for the door to open, Jevian had already stopped it.
"Wait," cried Jevian.
"Huh?"
Jevian smiled slightly, then got out first from inside his car. Afterwards he turned his steps and opened the door for Adisti.
Adisti smiled amusedly, "sook romantic," Adisti sneered as she chuckled.
Jevian only responded with a small smile.
"Come on!" Jevian extended his hand. Adisti put his hand on Jevian's arm.
"Lookin?"
Jevian nodded.
"It's really okay? What if your family misunderstands?"
Jevian pressed his shoulder. He immediately invited Adisti into a fancy restaurant that turned out to be crowded with invited guests.
Suddenly Adisti was nervous. The conscious Jevian then rubbed the back of Adisti's hand gently. Adisti also turned his head, at the same time Jevian also looked at him while smiling.
"Come, we'll go there!" bring Jevian. Adisti just according to where Jevian took him. This is his nephew's birthday party.
"Mom, Dad," call Jevian. The two husbands turned towards Jevian with smiles. But the smile immediately receded when he saw Jevian holding a woman they did not recognize.
"Jev, we don't think you're going to come like last year" Mommy Jevian said.
"No need to remember that, isn't it important now that I'm coming. Oh yeah, Mom, Dad, introduce, he's Adisti, Jevian's friend. Adisti, let's introduce them to my Mommy and Daddy," Jevian said, introducing her parents to Adisti and vice versa.
"Good night, uncle, aunty. I'm Adisti" Adisti said kindly. He also extended his hand to shake.
"You're not a citizen of this country?" guess Mommy Jevian who saw Adisti's face different from the people in her country.
"Yes aunty. I am from Indonesia."
"Indonesia?" mommy Jevian's parrot. Daddy Jevian just kept silent while staring at Adisti flat.
"Do you work here or are you in the family?"
"I ... follow a friend. I work here too."
"Friends?" There was a snide tone as mommy Jevian said that word.
"Mom, stop. Well then, I'd like to see Rachel first to wish her a happy birthday. Go, Adisti!" Jevian then took Adisti immediately left in front of his parents.
As he said earlier, Jevian congratulated his niece, Rachel. The girl who had just turned 12 years old was so happy to see her handsome uncle come.
"Uncle Jev, you're finally here" exclaimed Rachel delighted. "Thank you, kadonya. Ah, by the way, who is he, Uncle? Why did Uncle come with him? Are Aunty Eve angry?" rachel's tease made Jevian smile thinly. Unlike Adisti who feels bad. She thought Rachel's name was Jevian's lover.
"Hey beautiful, happy birthday" said Adisti. Rachel simply responded to Adisti's congratulations with a small smile. Then Jevian invited Adisti to sit in one of the chairs.
"Adisti, are you waiting here for a minute okay? I'm going there. They're still my family" Jevian said.
Adisti nodded with a small smile. Jevian immediately approached several young men who were talking. It seems like they are still Jevian's family or relatives.
Although the birthday is a 12-year-old child, but the invited guests do not seem to come from young people only, but the parents are also quite a lot. It seems like this party is made especially among the upper class of various ages.
Axton and Rainero were actually invited, but due to Shenina and Gladys circumstances that were not possible, so they did not come along.
Just as Adisti was about to lift the cup thirsty, suddenly several women had stood before him and one of them was Jevian's mommy.
"Tell me, what's your relationship with Jevian?" ask mommy Jevian to the point. An unhappy tone sounded clear from the middle-aged woman's mouth.
"We're just friends, Aunty," Adisti replied honestly.
The woman smiled cynically, "what do you and your parents do?"
"I'm just a cashier at a Luxurious restaurant, while my parents are long gone."
"Huh? Is this a woman's job? Your son's taste is strange, Chris," said one of the women standing next to Jevian's mother.
Jevian's mother flinched. But his eyes look bad on her.
"You should be self-aware, you and Jevian are like heaven and earth. Don't ever dream of being part of our family because you're so, so inappropriate."
"Sorry aunty, what do you mean?"
"Don't call me aunty 'cause I'm not your aunt. Call me madam because you deserve to be my servant rather than my son-in-law" joked Jevian's mother, inviting the attention of the other guests.
Adisti clenched his hand. Staring at the nyalang Jevian's mother who had been staring cynically at him, "when did I say I wanted to be your daughter-in-law? Did I say that? It seems like your hearing is starting to get disturbed, Madam," Adisti said, pressing Madam in front of Jevian's mother. "I said we were just friends. But you say otherwise. Really funny."
"What did you say?" jolt Jevian's mother again.
"I said funny, why? It's funny, isn't it? I said I was just friends, but you said I wanted to be your son-in-law, crazy."
"Basic brash. This is how a lowly man, not even manners know."
"I behave like the person I'm dealing with. People are polite to me, I'm polite to him. People are rude to me, I can be even more insolent to him."
"Heh poor woman, watch what you say!" joking friend Jevian's mom.
"Which words should I keep? Are you polite to me? I'm just sitting here quietly, but you guys suddenly came accusing me recklessly, can't I defend myself?"
"What's this about? Disti, Mommy, what's wrong? Why are you fighting?" jevian asked who had just come while pushing the wheelchair of an old woman.
"Just ask this lady who doesn't know her manners. Are you crazy that Jevian took this lowly woman to the aunt's children's party? Look, she's, really brash, even daring to answer every word of your Mommy," Rachel's mother said.
"True Jevian, where did you find this woman? He really doesn't deserve to be brought into the middle of our family. Poor women are shameless. No manners. Don't tell me you want to make her a wife? Mommy and Daddy won't agree, remember that," Jevian's mother said loudly, making almost everyone's attention turn to them.
"Mom, what are you saying? Didn't I just say he was my friend?"
"Friends? Bedmate, is that it?"
"Mommy, enough!" jekak Jevian, but the mommy was indifferent.
"See your speech, Madam. Is this what we call a rich and classy woman? Even Aunty Delena who I believe is much richer than you can treat people with respect and very well, no matter where they come from" Adisti said aloud.
Hearing the name Delena spoken from Adisti's lips makes everyone wonder what relationship Adisti and Delena think they are.
"You, who are you, Delena, huh? Oh yeah, you said you worked at a Luxurious restaurant, didn't you? Oh, you're just his worker. But you said Delena like she was your own aunt, you shameless bitch."
"So, speak to you, Madam! Never insult my future wife if you don't want to feel the consequences!" the jolt of a man who came suddenly shifted everyone's attention to him.
