CHAPTER 1: When to Get Married, Son?
Sunday morning at 07:00, Randy was enjoying a day off in the back garden of the house. He was sitting relaxed on a bench in the park while sipping his warm tea. He often spends holidays in the back garden, because for him the back garden is very cool, beautiful and soothing.
Randy often takes care of ornamental plants in the back garden, although in his house there are two housekeepers and a garden guard. But he did not feel sad if taking care of himself when on holiday. According to him, ornamental plants are able to clear his mind, after six days of full work. Understandably, Randy was a director at his late father's company. So you can be sure how busy he is, even so Randy always took time with his mother.
Randy's father, Rohit Haryo Notonegoro, died when Randy was eighteen, exactly one day after Randy's birthday. At that time, Rohit gave permission to monitor the project of building a hotel in the city of Yogyakarta. But unfortunately, Rohit's car had an accident to make Rohit who was only alone when he died. Coincidentally, Ari, Rohit's driver was sick at the time.
Randy and Ratih Purnamasari Notonegoro, Randy's mother, are devastated by Rohit's death. Even Ratih had a depression for a few days that almost hurt him, quickly Randy asked for help from a psychiatrist and a psychologist to treat and monitor his mother. Up to five months later, Ratih was declared fully healed. Randy is very happy.
Young Randy who just graduated high school, must continue to live by managing the company that has been inherited Rohit, he then learned about the business of the confidant Rohit, David his name.
David has been working for Rohit since Randy was five, until Randy was twenty-one in 2021.
Rohit company, Denon Group, engaged in property, has many properties that he built. Such as five-star hotels in the city of Bandung, apartments in Jakarta, three-star hotels in Yogyakarta and three-star hotels are being built in the city of Cirebon.
Randy himself has successfully built a hotel in Yogyakarta, a project that was delayed because Rohit was gone. In addition, Randy has successfully built an apartment in Jakarta last year, and now Randy is working with entrepreneurs from Cirebon to build a hotel in the shrimp city.
Even though Randy had a lot of money, he never boasted about it, he always remembered Rohit's message, that all the possessions he had were God's. In addition, he also routinely donated some of his property for orphanages in the city of Bandung. Because he knows that every property he has, there are rights of others in it.
While Randy was enjoying the strawberries plucked directly from his tree, Ratih suddenly called out to him. Soon Ratih also came and also picked fruit with the prince only wayangnya.
In the back garden, there are various types of fruit plants, ranging from strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, cloves and mangosteen. In addition, there are various types of flowers, such as white and red roses, jasmine and orchids.
Randy wanted to please his mother by planting a variety of flowers. Because he knew Ratih loved flowers, Rohit often bought him a bouquet of white roses.
“Ran, I'm going to ask. Can?” Patih asks permission first.
“This mother, usually also never permission first, whether you want to ask what?” randy replied casually, then devoured a strawberry that had only been held.
Randy and Ratih are back.
“Look, my mother is now getting older, and your father has long left us..” Ratih hangs his words.
“You, are there no plans to get married yet? I'm worried that mom's age won't be long.”.
“Mother will live a long life, mother should be optimistic. Randy is sure mom will see mom's grandchildren, even to great-grandchildren and beyond. But Randy apologizes, if you ask when Randy married, Randy can not give an exact answer. Because there is no plan, besides that I am still focused on the project of building a hotel in Cirebon, bu.” cut Randy carefully, he does not want to disappoint Ratih.
Randy is not exactly a picky guy. But for him the most important thing is, his future wife will have to love what is in him and the mother. He did not want his wife to only love him when he was struggling with treasure. However, as a real man, Randy also hopes to have a beautiful wife and soft heart.
Beautiful according to Randy, it does not have to have a proportional body shape, lashes, thin lips, dimples and white skin. But the standard of Randy's beauty is, the woman can accept it as it is, loyal, always trust him, love the mother and can manage finances well.
According to Randy, beauty is very broad in context, can be beautiful physically and beautiful heart or inner beauty, and Randy prefers women who have inner beauty. Because inner beauty will never fade eaten time and age.
“But your age is twenty-one years, and that age is actually enough to get married, besides that you are also well established. I'm sure you'll be able to support your family someday,”
“Ya already so, mom can not maxain you.”
Randy hugged Ratih.
...***...
The next morning, Randy was already wearing his expensive suit neatly, he was ready to leave for the office
“Randy, breakfast yuk.” invite Ratih who is already in front of Randy's room.
“Randy just left aja ma'am, there was a morning meeting because. Randy had breakfast in the office aja.” said Randy while putting some files in his bag.
“Hey don't, mom prepare yes. You have breakfast in the car, I am worried if you do not have breakfast first, the meeting will not focus, besides you will be late for breakfast. Because it can't be so until you eat breakfast.” said Ratih firmly, while Randy just grinned the horse.
Two minutes later, Randy got out of the room and was about to head for the door. But the mother's call stopped her steps.
Ratih gave a box of bread to Randy's favorite sandwich and a bottle of mango juice.
“Thank you, dear.” said Randy as he rolled his eyes. Ratih just chuckled at the behavior of the prince just his wayang.
“Makanya a piece of marriage, so you can seduce a woman other than mother. Hihi!”
Instantly Randy again stopped his steps and turned to Ratih who was behind him.
“Mother, didn't you agree yesterday?” Randy pretended to sulk.
He approached Randy.
“Yes yes, sorry mom!”
Randy came back to his mother, then kissed the cheek of the woman who had given birth to him at a glance.
...***...
On the way to Denon Group, Randy enjoyed his mother's breakfast. Unintentionally, he re-thought his question about marriage, for some reason he became a little distracted.
“Pak Ari, according to the father, if our parents only when to marry what does it mean?”
“Normally an old man who is like that, as if getting a bad feeling about him. So he wants his son to get married quickly so that his son's life is not lonely if later they are gone.”
Duars! Randy's heart exploded.
