After the Farewell
Abe Takahashi
"Assalamualaikum papa" said Rayden.
"Wa'alaikum salam. Are you really dating a widow?" ask Abe Takahashi.
Rayden just smiled wryly looking at his papa's face.
"Yes pa. Her name's..."
"Kara Gantari and Adi Saputro's ex-wife who took Irene."
Rayden felt his legs limp. Duh! Babeh knows it!
"Where are you going?" ask Abe.
"You're sitting down, lemes on your feet" Rayden replied.
"Who told you to sit down? Sono, stand there until papa tells you to sit down!"
Rayden gawking. Oh Allah Gusti! Paringi patience!
"Pa, I'm not an elementary school kid, kayaking is punishable in front of class?" whining Rayden.
"Whose son did you say you were SD? Wong you can also date a widow!" abe's sarcasm.
"Allahuacbar! Even if Kara's a widow, I'm fine. Is it not that widows have more experience?" kerling Rayden's.
"Oh God! Ajeeenberg! Your son is lhoooo!" abe called his late wife's name.
"Don't call mom, Pa. How about rising from the grave? Kan berabe Pa" whispered Rayden.
Abe throws a sofa cushion at Rayden that could dodge him.
"Abroad! You think your mom is Suzanna?"
Rayden just grinned. True papa gualak but if about change, 11-12 with him.
"Ray, papa seriously..."
"Ray's serious too."
"Diem used to be a shucks!" Abe bertehem. "Are you serious about Kara?"
"1000 percent serious Pa. Even Ray had applied earlier, but was rejected" said Rayden.
Abe held his temple. "Rejected to be proud."
"Marry is still rejected but Ray kisses the same forehead hold hands, Kara does not refuse."
"When is Iddah Kara finished?"
"Two months away."
"When did you meet Kara again?"
"Tomorrow Sunday at his house."
"Who is she staying with?"
"How to stay with Ijah, his assistant."
"Yes, we're there tomorrow!" breaking up Abe makes Rayden gawk.
"Seriously dad?" ask Rayden.
"You think papa's here, what's the distance from Tokyo? Want to know what kind of flower widow that crazy son papa!" Abe stood up and walked into the room. "Oh, you can sit down." Abe closed the door.
Rayden cursed his papa with all the coarse language on earth.

Kara was stunned when one of her colleagues said there was a man looking for her. As she scrunched her forehead, Kara walked out of her room. Hopefully not Adi.
Kara arrives at a VIP room in what is commonly used as a meeting room and a bodyguard opens the door to let her in.
Kara nodded respectfully towards the five men there and appeared to be a middle-aged man who seemed to be an important person. Kara saw GM's Star hotel there. What's the matter?
The middle-aged man gave the code for everyone there to come out and now they both live.
"Please sit down, Miss Kara Gantari." The man gave Kara a code to sit in front of him. The girl sat down too.
"We'll finally meet up before I go to your house on Sunday."
Kara gawking. A Sunday?
"What do you mean, sir?" ask Kara.
"My name is Abe Takahashi. I'm the father of the man you've been with, Rayden Takahashi."
Kara was surprised then nodded respectfully. "It's nice to meet you Mr. Takahashi."
"It's fitting that the shucks are crazy about you, lha wong your appearance is like this." Abe looked at Kara sharply.
Kara looked down at her outfit today. I feel like I'm wearing a polite shirt, long-sleeved sweatshirt, brown trousers, boots. Not a dirty shirt.
"Not your shirt, Kara but your face."
"What is my face, sir?" ask Kara confused.
"There's something similar to my late wife."
Kara's speechless.
"So, are you really dating Rayden?" ask Abe coldly.
"You could say so, sir."
"Not but..."
"Leave her if you don't love her!" abe's orders.
"I've rejected it but..."
"Or you learn to love her."
Kara's mouth is gaping. It's father and son alike! Deflect it!
"How do you mean?" kara didn't understand.
"I'm not blocking your relationship, let alone you're still in Iddah right? So there are two months to understand each other. Think of it as training against my son, me and Rayna my daughter."
Kara still looked at Abe with a confused look. "Did you let Rayden come into contact with me?"
"Don't I just say that?" keekh Abe's. "But you should also be able to take Rayna's heart, Rayden's sister. Because he's worse than me."
Kara felt her head throb. Said Rayden, his papa is gualak but this is why so dimeh anyway?
"Ohya, don't tell Rayden that we've met before. Please cook tomorrow a good Sunday and a little bit more because I'm going to come with Rayden to your place."
"I want to cook tripe fried rice on Rayden's request" replied Kara.
Abe smile. "I love tripe fried rice and don't forget the pickles!"
Kara gawking. Holy hooch! Did I open a restaurant?
***
On Sunday morning, the Mercedes Benz G silver car was beautifully parked in front of Kara's house. The two people inside came down and headed for the fence. Bik Ijah, who had been racing with Rayden's car, opened the door.
"Assalamualaikum bik Ijah" Rayden said.
"Wa'alaikum greetings Mr. Rayden. Who is this, sir?"
"This is my papa who just came from Tokyo, Abe Takahashi."
"It's nice to meet you Mr. Abe" greetings bik Ijah.
"Thank you bik."
"Monggo, come in."
Rayden and Abe came in. Abe immediately liked how Kara arranged her home. Artistic.
"Kara darling! You where?" call Rayden.
"Kitchen" Kara replied.
Rayden sat down on a chair near the kitchen table and saw Kara frying something.
"What are you frying my dear?"
"Your milk" replied Kara of origin.
Rayden instantly held his stomach dramatically. "My dear, take care of yourself."
Kara ignored Rayden's face. "You're sitting in the living room there. Bothering the cook."
Rayden stood up and kissed Kara on the cheek and ran away before she screamed in anger.
"RAYDEENN!"
***
Abe and Rayden tasted tripe fried rice and both were very fond of it.
"Kara, this is so good! The fried intestine too. It turns out you're good at cooking" Abe praised.
"It's my choice!" rayden Grin.
"Hmmm" replied Abe. Rayden is a manyun.
"I just found out, Mr. Abe Japanese likes tripe fried rice" commented Ijah.
"My late wife was Javanese bik, so Kara's cooking and Ijah's bik, fit on my tongue" Abe smiled.
"Thank God if Mr. Abe likes it."
Kara just kept quiet to see the interaction of the three of them.
"Why are you quiet, babe?" ask Rayden.
"Your feet can't stop stroking my feet?" hiss Kara stared intently at Rayden.
Abe then clapped the back of his son's head.
"But caught!" rayden grinned while rubbing his head.
