13 Days Love Seed In Qatar Stadium

CHAPTER 49: FAMILY GATHERINGS

That Sunday night, Lena came out of the beauty salon with her mother. Her mother with thin makeup and modern hair became very beautiful, like she was not her everyday mother. When he got into the car, Lena gawked because her father used batik, but had bought a nice shirt. Lena was silent for not daring to comment.

When she reached David's house, Lena was increasingly gawking because Axel seemed to drop something from the trunk, where the Tupperware box belonged to his mother because of the purple color, to be brought in. He approached Axel and asked. "What is that, Mr Axel?"

"It's satay lilit, he said it was made while you were working."

Lena mutters, then waits for the new mama to get out of the car. "What did you bring?"

"That's for David's family. The time here brings nothing. How are you?" Sumarni was still smiling to herself due to the compliment of her husband just now, who said she was very beautiful. Sumarni looked at the moody son, then embraced while stroking the son's shoulder. He knew what the son meant. Sean from childhood is very caring for his sister, and the purpose of taking judo lessons, he said to protect the younger brother.

Leora greeted Sujatmiko with a warm hand job in the living room. "Welcome to our family, I am Leora Xavero, Grandpa of David."

Ardian greeted Sujatmiko with a cold look. "Ardian Leora, David's father. Just call me Ardian. Your clothes are good. That's Batik?" Asked Ardian with his head slightly tilted. While Lena continued to pay attention to the conversation of Father and Papa Ardian.

Thank God, if Papa Ardian thinks it's good. I'm afraid you'll get hurt because of the spicy words of Papa Ardian. (Lene)

"Yes, Balinese batik. We also bring some batik writing materials with high quality hand touch. You can shape the clothes as you want."

Ardian laughed with pleasure, his brown eyes sparkled, it turned out that Lena's father knew manners. "really? You're too bothered. Please come in."

Sujatmiko squinted at a very fashionable woman who turned out to be David's mother, as well as the grandmother even though they were still very old to maintain a young appearance.

Lena breathed a sigh of relief, so far her family, especially the fathers were well received by the David family. They headed for a large dining table in a garden full of yellow lights, the atmosphere was very family-friendly with saxophone music.

Sean had just returned from the bathroom and he passed a beautiful woman who seemed to have just arrived. "Silva ...."

The woman in the pastel-colored dress turned around, the black eyes instantly sparkling. "Eh, Sean? How can it be here. Do you know this family?"

"Why are you here?" ask Sean back. Again, his heart was pounding as he inhaled the pleasant smell of Secha's wavy hair.

"My father is deputy director at Mr. David's company. Papah can not attend, I'm the plant operations manager at PT Mutiara Pangan Indonesia."

"What factory?" Sean was fascinated by the way Secha spoke which attracted his attention..

"Snack factory. Uh but what's your interest here, Sean? To my knowledge, it's a family event. Only high-ranking corporate officials are called to Mr. David's dinner."

Sean was grinning the horse, a servant came to call him. He walked side by side with the extremely beautiful and feisty Secha. "Can you sit next to me? I'm so bored."

The ready Lena was pounding even more, who would have thought this was a formal dinner. His mother looked pale and nervous.

In front of him was a very long dining table of one row. Yellow, orange, pink rose bouquets on the table. Glass Chiavari chair, Tiffany is made of transparent plastic. David said, all consisting of 45 family David, 10 people in the office. In the center of the park is a large projector display featuring the center side where Grandpa Leora, David's parents and Lena's parents, as well as David and Lena. So that the one sitting at the end can see in detail.

Lena's eyes were rounded when on the screen, a waiter whispered something in Sean's ear, then it appeared that Sean glumly walked towards him and now sat down to Lema's right. David sat opposite Lena.

"How many satay lilit did you have?" lena whispers when there is a new satay lilit dish coming, which she believes is mother-made, because the aroma is very challenging.

"100 seeds, father and mother who made, your brother who roasted. I asked Mr. Axel to roast it for a moment let the angel."

Lena nodded. Looks like all of David's family tried, once Grandpa tried to taste. The way Grandpa tasted it like a chef, made Lena rem4s the hands of the mother. Geez they're just tasting, but their expressions are so serious. Lena's heart pounded, because they were muttering while whispering, some were closed and ate back.

"This satay .. rich in spices." Ardian looked at Lena's mother. "Muilipino ...." Ardian smiled as he looked at the papah.

"Yes, delicious as you say."

"Gustus ... " Bilqis likes satay lilit, this is delicious, Indonesian spices are not much different from Italian spices.

*Gustoso: delicious. Delizioso: Delicious.

David winked flirtatious eyes at the lover who smiled shyly, as he had just finished one satay. However, his smile faded due to Sean's sharp gaze. "Sean, eat it, introduce it to our country's signature pizza, which rarely features chicken and pineapple toppings as well as typical American pizza, as most of the country sells."

"Lena, that's Margherita pizza, just the dough covered in tomato sauce, cheese and fresh basil leaves. Simple," Bilqis smiled at Lena who was tasting pizza.

"Mother Sumarni, it's typical of our small town, it's called pizza Naples. Contains only tomato, cheese, seal and oregano toppings. All flown directly from Italy." Bilqis explained and Sumarni immediately closed her mouth as if surprised.

"Mother, despite the name of the seal and the shape resembles a dog, it is halal. I don't have to be afraid" Sujatmiko said to her wife, believing her two children had listened to her words.

Bilqis. "You must be surprised. Do not be afraid, in this house, in the kitchen we make sure the food we eat tonight is halal. David has already brought our kitchen in the concept of halal food."

"Thank you, for all the wonderful treats you've given. We all enjoyed it very much." Sumarni followed Bilqis eating pizza by hand, as did Grandpa Leora eating pizza by gripping pizza. Thank God, if I had a knife, I couldn't.

Sean whispered in Lena's ear. "Why do they serve to brother's plate, the pizza is thinner? They're differentiating, aren't they?"

Lena smiled embarrassedly at David's probing gaze, then Lena whispered to Sean. "Sister, earlier, all the different pizza variants. David said that the Napoli version is thicker, has a thinner brother original version. Thinner than US pizza, but it's crispy, delicious .. I've tasted it. Brother want my thicker tukeran?"

Sean did not reply, he straightened his back and grasped the bread like David had eaten. He ate it, indeed. Very thin, almost resembling a wide creker as big as a plate. If only eating this does not make it full.

"What you know, our pizza is never sliced every time he is served on a table, unlike American pizza" Leora told Sujatmiko, with a typical Italian hand gesture that makes the interlocutor always pay attention to him. "Traditionally it was sold as a hand-held food eaten by the poorest neapolitans on the streets. It is not baked, fried and can be plain or a plate of raw dough that is filled only with cheese and vegetables.

New baked pizzas have been prevalent in recent centuries. I was also a pizza seller, and I always weighed in 80 grams of dough. I made it so thin, then folded four with just a simple topping touch and wrapped in paper. Until I find a great woman .. because of that." Leora swung her head to the left and everyone laughed.

"It was nostalgic of our meeting." Leora's grandmother stroked her husband's shoulder with a tearful applause from her children.

Sumarni looked at Sujatmiko and threw each other a smile. The story of Grandparents Leora opens up old memories, because Sumarni used to buy pancakes sold by her husband.

"In your personal view, what are the advantages of your country's pizza, compared to American pizza for ordinary people like us?" sujatmiko asked with interest in Ardian. He asked because Ardian kept silent, but as if he wanted to plunge into the chatter.

"Yes right what you said," Sujatmiko replied and smiled in agreement. He looked at the grimacing princess looking confused.

"Maybe we need to work together on making Italian pizza here." Ardian looked at Sujatmiko, as if he could guess Sujatmiko's thoughts.

"Sounds good." Sujatmiko.

"Maybe we also need to build an elevator company and I heard from your daughter, that Sean is a mechanical engineer?"

"That sounds really good too." Sujatmiko began to soften as Ardian's tone began to soften and sound warm.

Sean glared while looking down. So, Lena also told me about me in front of David's dad? Why are rich people so easy to open a business? while people like me need hard work to achieve freedom independently.

David and Lena exchanged lyrics, then smiled in satisfaction. A gift came from the servant's hand. It was Sujatmiko herself who had just wrapped it up with batik patterned gift paper.

Leora opened the box and rubbed the batik cloth thoroughly, the wife also touched what she was holding. Likewise Ardian opened a new type of batik given, and agreed to the words of his wife, will goods with high artistic value, for them.

"This gift is very memorable for us, especially for me personally," Ardian said staring at Sujatmiko, Sumarni, Lena and Sean in turn. "Thank you for all of you. My family and I apologize if there is anything less pleasing in the way we entertain."

Sujatmiko and Sumarni thanked him again. Until Grandpa Leora speaks seriously in order to propose Lena to David next week, and if it is accepted, the next day will carry out the marriage. During the conversation, David and Lena lowered their heads in embarrassment and awkwardness.

Sean gets out of his chair as all of David's family begins to cool themselves around the park. Sean was aloof while staring at the koi fish pond, until someone patted him on the shoulder. He only smiled faintly without being able to hide the sadness.

"They fit, Sean. Truly your sister is blessed, the Xavero Family is considered to uphold peace and happiness especially for her daughters-in-law. Their lives are far from gossip."

"Why do you seem to know so much about them, Secha?" Sean turned to Secha who was just sitting next to him. He glanced at the hand Secha touched.

"Do you have any doubts about them Sean? My dad wasn't just this early working with Mr. David. At first, my grandfather worked with Grandpa Leora, and then my Papah worked for Mr. Ardian. Until Papaku works at Mr. Ardian's hotel, which he passes to Mr. David. Now my Papah is coming back to Indonesia, because it is trusted by Mr. David. Papa also recommended me until I passed the interview test, two weeks ago in Qatar.

You know, that newly purchased factory, it's almost sold again. Because ... sorry I heard from papah, that Mr. David's lover, who turned out to be your sister, had left Mr. David. But! it turned out that a week ago all the chief managers and directors were called in suddenly! Hehe.

"Why are you laughing?" Sean frowned.

"His words! it's gonna be a dowry for your sister!"

"What?" Sean's shoulders are slumping. "How can you?"

"It's all being taken care of to the notary. My boss is very serious, right? hehe." Secha stabbed Sean in the waist with her index finger. "Don't pout dong, it's not nice to see. Honey, you have a cute face but it's hidden."

"Please you, Cha? Around you are also a lot of cute men."

"Maybe the ones selling expensive like you are rare." Secha closed her mouth and Sean was now looking at her with furrowed brows.

"Actually, I'd rather agree with Lena with my best friend. I know how the inside out of my best friend is, that's definitely not gonna hurt Lena."

"Masa, you want to force your sister? What's good for you isn't necessarily good for Lena. We never know God's plan to bring us together with the soul mate God has given us. You are not God who can arrange a match for them. We're weak, Sean .... "

"Why are you sad?" Sean looked at Secha unblinking.

"I was following Papa's betrothal and I just found out, that guy was cheating when I had time to put my hopes on him." Secha laughed lightly. "But, I have no regrets because I will be more careful with men. Then what about you yourself? Why are you so busy with your sister?"

"I'm not important. Any woman who wants to be with me. They run away and are reluctant to me who often sweats and smells."

Secha laughed with excitement. "Sean! You're so funny?"

Sean flanked Secha's head on his armpit because he couldn't stop laughing. "You right?"

"It does smell natural, but it won't make me die. You just need to exercise more, maybe I can help you? Actually it smells macho, Sean ...."

"Are you one of the professional armpit scent kissers from the deodorant factory?"

"Haha. Not ... loose, Sean!"

"Why can't you stand the smell?"

David sees Sean from the second-floor balcony, not knowing since when his employees are close to Sean. He found the clap of the girlfriend. "Lena .... What if Sean doesn't give up on stopping me?"

"Mas, my brother didn't stop us. He's the one who roasted the 100 sate lilit just now alone. Brother is afraid, if you will leave me later, because you will not have much money to find Mas to Italy if Mas to dump me." Lena smiled gently.

"So, that's .... " David thought hard. He takes Axel's cell phone and chat to move Sean to another company with a higher position. Thanks to the help of the Mafia, David can recognize who Sean's boss can still manage through the mafia's right hand.

"What are you busy with?" ask Lena seriously.

"I'm meeting with the Wedding Organizer tomorrow. You come home tomorrow, we have a new famous designer, his friend Bianca. A week is not enough time to create a wedding dress, dear."

"Whatever, Mom." Lena felt David's sudden embrace from behind.

"Big, make Baby, yuk!"

"Mas .... "

David chuckled at the whimper of his lover, he bit Lena's ear a little hard, then whispered. "Who told you to wear a back-and-forth show?"
