14 DAYS FOR YOUR LOVE, POLICE OFFICER

XLVIII MANTU CANDIDATE

For a moment Mr. Johan was stunned, but then he smiled when he saw the seriousness in the eyes of Rama. " Let's sit down first.., what's your name ? " ask Mr. Johan in a soft tone. Rama was sitting slowly in the living room chair facing Mr. Johan.

" Rama Aditiya Putra" replied Rama. Although actually he was very nervous dealing with Mr. Johan the prospective in-laws, but he tried to master it. He did not want Maria to feel worried, he really wanted to fight for their love both towards a marriage that would justify their relationship.

" Is it true that my daughter said that you came here to ask for my blessing to marry my daughter immediately ? " ask Mr. Johan looking at Rama as if looking for seriousness in the eyes of the handsome man. Rama nodded "Right Sir, if you agree I will officially come to bring a proposal with my family." said Rama firmly with all his sincerity. Johan smiled at him.

" Where to stay..? " ask Mr. Johan again. " We live in Raden Pak City. But if I get married, I have prepared a house on the Malang River Pak. " replied Rama, he has indeed built a house with his own hard work by saving. Johan smiled back at him. " You have prepared it apparently, very good." praised Johan sir. " What's your job...? " said Mr. Johan again. " I'm a police officer sir. " Rama replied firmly. Mr. Johan frowned. Maria looked tensely at her father. He was afraid that his father did not like Rama's dangerous work and took great risks. Mr. Johan who knew his daughter who was tense then smiled. " Maria, hurry to the kitchen help mom make a drink, do not forget to bring bananas, tempeh and fried tofu that was just made." said Mr. Johan to Maria. As much as Mary wanted to reject him, he wanted to be next to Rama now, but he could not possibly deny his father's orders. Mary looked at Rama for a moment. Rama smiled, Maria clasped her lover's hand. " I live first Ram.." said Maria tightened her hand. Rama nodded and gently rubbed the lover's head covered in a veil. Johan smiled at him. He knew that Rama and Mary loved each other. Mary walked out of the living room towards the kitchen. For a moment he passed by his brother Iqbal. " Sister take it easy, I'll keep an eye on him. Oya brother, sister-in-law handsome once rich korean artist. Where did you meet brother ? " iqbal said half-temptingly. Maria looked at the sister with half a glance. Iqbal smiled wryly, he knew his brother was in a state of anxiety about the lover who was facing the future in-laws. " Yes, my beautiful sister. Your sister will support the sister-in-law with full strength" said Iqbal smiling as he gave his thumb. Maria finally smiled at him, with a rustle in her hair ruffled her sister. " Ah..kk, tarnish my fondness.." said Iqbal with a sullen face. Maria laughed a little. Iqbal is a little bit of a tadpole but he has great attention and is good at entertaining.

Iqbal sat in the living room chair next to Rama, he began to listen to Rama and his father who were still chatting coolly, not tense as in the beginning. Mr. Johan and Rama seem familiar quickly.

Sometimes they start to hear their laughter. Although sometimes Iqbal does not understand what is being talked about between Rama and his father, Iqbal seems to listen to the conversation carefully.

Shortly afterwards Maria showed up with a drink and a small meal . His face looked fresh as he had taken a shower and changed clothes. Maria put drinks and bananas, tofu and tempe fried on the guest table, also a jar filled with biscuits, not to forget also he put a bowl of water to wash his hands .

Mary stared tensely at Rama. Rama smiled sweetly, he knew at this moment that Maria was very worried about him. Maria who was not satisfied with Rama's smile turned her gaze towards her sister Iqbal, but the sister blinked her left eye. Maria's vow was very bubbly with the two guys. I really want him to pinch his second.

Suddenly from the direction of the kitchen appeared Ratna the wife of Mr. Johan, the mother of Maria. the woman although already somewhat aged but still looks beautiful. " Who is this Pa ? " said Bu Ratna looking at Rama curiously. " He Rama Aditiya Putra. Our son's lover. " After Mr. Johan, Ms. Ratna was a bit surprised at him, because all this time Maria almost never brought a boy friend home. Back Bu Ratna looked at Rama, Rama also smiled sweetly. " Whoa.pa. Very handsome our future ghost. Lucky for Maria, there are people who like this who have a crush on you " said Ms. Ratna praising innocently. Rama smiled and Mary seemed to be embarrassed. " When have you been dating ? " ask Ms. Ratna again. " Now ma'am, I want us to get married quickly. I want to justify it ma'am.". Rama said softly and politely. " Son Rama, Mary is just an ordinary girl" said Ms. Ratna. " For me he is special. I love him very much, ma'am." said Rama steady. Bu Ratna smiled at Rama's earnestness. " What is the work of Rama's son, by the way, if I may know ? " I'm a policeman Ma'am." said Rama. For a moment Bu Ratna was stunned, but she then smiled.

" Wow.kak Rama is a cop. Brother Rama has two pistols.., one to shoot the other criminal. I have to be ready." said Iqbal teasing Maria. Maria frowned . " What does 2 yach pistols mean ?🤔🤔🤔🤔. "says Maria in heart. Mr. Johan and Mr. Ratna immediately glared at Iqbal because Iqbal's joke was too much. " You are still a stinky child kencur." said Mother hit the arm of Iqbal. Iqbal chuckles. Rama was embarrassed. " I'm sorry my son Rama. He is a kid who likes to joke around ", said Ms. Ratna felt guilty. " It's okay, ma'am" said Rama politely.

Mr. Johan stared at the wall clock that showed 17:00 WITA. It doesn't feel like it's getting late in the afternoon. "Iqbal, lend your change of clothes to Rama.." said Mr. Johan again suddenly "Yes Pa.." said Iqbal quickly. Johan looked at Rama. " Kid Rama should go home after dinner, rest here first. Nak Rama can bathe first and rest in the room Iqbal to azan magrib. Then we eat with the magrib prayer and dinner together" said Mr. Johan. Rama nodded. " Thank you sir" said Rama politely. " Iqbal, let's take Rama to rest" said Mr. Johan to Iqbal. " Pa Ready, Come brother Rama join Iqbal" said Iqbal while smiling at Rama, Rama also returned the smile. " Thank you. Excuse me, sir, ma'am, "said Rama politely before leaving with Iqbal. Mr. Johan and Ms. Ratna nodded and smiled. " Please son." said Ms. Ratna. Rama and Iqbal went together.

Maria, tidying up the food and drink on the table. " You sure ...want to marry her ? " ask Mr. Johan suddenly. " Mary loved her very much Pa." said Maria with her faith. " You know being the wife of a police officer is very heavy and risky" said Mr. Johan again

" yes, Mary knows. But Maria is ready to take all the risks. Maria will be strong, trust me Pa. Mary is not a person who gives up easily. Mary will accompany him with all her heart. Please the blessing of your father and mother " said Mary wholeheartedly. " Papa likes Rama, he is very good and has advantages. But he had to pass the final exam to become your priest, only to be able to get blessing" said Mr. Johan. Maria stared tensely at her father, she was so curious about the test.
