Tone of Nara
Chapters 111. July Doesn't Want to Make Trouble (Part 1)
Coming home from Pradipta park is a happy walk. She herself did not expect, the effect of meeting Nara made her chest expand out of happiness. She was happy to hold Nara's hand. There was a sense of comfort he never got from July. In the past, the same sense of comfort had emerged from his wife Nada. The comfort was covered with disgust at the fat lump his wife had. That comfort he realized now, was covered by shame over the insults of people around him because he had a wife as big as a swollen elephant. That comfortable feeling came back from a different person. A beautiful woman he can be proud of. Even prettier and better than July. It looks like Pradipta is starting to compare Nara to July. Along the way from Nara's house to Hermawan's residence, Pradipta's smile continued to expand. Clearly visible from his face, the man was very happy with the meeting in the park earlier.
Arriving at the Hermawan residence, Pradipta stepped up and greeted his family. The aura of happiness that just now made his face glow slightly changed. From the car parked outside, Pradipta knew who had come that night. She knew that she had to answer endless questions from her lover. Well, this lover is indeed different from his wife, Nada. Nada used to be jealous a few times and asked. But when explained, at least it makes no sense whatever Pradipta's answer, Nada will not ask again. Nada will treat himself as a husband that his wife must serve. Unlike July who always demands to be the daughter of the king who must always be happy. If jealous or suspicious, he will ask at length and effectively chase. Currently, Pradipta is not being bothered with July's interrogation and whining.
“I've come home. Lah tumben clock like this at the gathering,” said Pradipta while entering the family room, still able to hear the words of his father who asked him where. Pradipta was welcomed by his mother. His mother also told Pradipta that there was Juli who came to their residence. The actual notice is not important according to Pradipta. Of course, everyone knew there was a July in the Hermawan residence.
July who saw her fiance coming immediately gave a smile to Pradipta. Pradipta's mind, still filled with admiration and happiness for Nara, did not see the smile of greeting from her fiance. Pradipta only glanced at her without returning Juli's smile. He kept walking towards his room.
“Pradipta where are you going?” call Mr. Henky.
“Ke room well, very sticky my body,” said Pradipta.
“Then how about July,” asked Henky half-astonished sir looking at his son who had already crossed the living room.
“Mas, if you want to take a shower, you better take July to the room. Let him wait in your room. We want to rest. Poor brother Juli alone later,” said Prita.
“Iya mas, take son July to the room there,” said Mrs Henky agreed to Prita's proposal with a smile.
“It's already night. Why don't you go home to Juli?” mr. Henky said as he scrunched his forehead. The old man felt, women coming to the man's house let alone this night, was very inappropriate. According to Mr. Henky, Juli should have gone straight home.
“This father does not understand. His name is also young. Let it go,” said Mrs Henky scolding her husband. “Nak July, already there, just wait in Pradipta's room. Let Pradipta shower first yes.” Added Mrs Henky.
Hearing Mr. Henky's words makes Juli unwell. But he also wanted to talk to the fiancee. There is a lot they need to discuss with regards to the wedding preparations that are just around the corner. Juli himself is aware of Pradipta's change to him. And Julipun is fully aware that Pradipta's mind is still on Nara and their date in the park. However, Pradipta cannot escape from it. People and netizens already know their wedding plans. Even Pradipta glazed himself while being on the water on the best private television. If their marriage fails, Juli is worried about going viral. This would severely hurt Juli and damage her reputation. Juli is determined, no matter what happens, she must maintain this engagement and wedding plans, by any means.
Pradipta himself, upon hearing the words of his mother's father, turned his head back reluctantly. His hand was extended to July who had already stepped closer to him. July welcomed Pradipta's hand with joy. They headed for Pradipta's room without a word.
