An Ancient Relique's

Meeting of Daughter-in-law and In-Law

Bi Asri deftly arranged the flowers on the dining table, while Mbak Dini and Tono were busy organizing and cleaning each room. Occasionally, Asri arranged the furniture and gave orders to two assistants who were none other than his son and daughter-in-law.

After Pur died, Bi Asri became the main assistant in his place. The woman, who is now in her fifty years, looks enthusiastic about the news of the return of Nirwana Zehra.

"Mother, is everything already in the machine? Wana's room with her husband too?" Bi Asri.

"Sampun Ma'am, everything's clean. Bed linen, the same blanket has been replaced recently." replied mbak Dini.

"That's the curtain already mbok coatis right Ton? Don't let the sun break through the room!"

"Beggih, sampun Bu." replied Tono while sweeping the floor, Bi Asri also left the two to prepare lunch.

Mbak Dini and Tono immediately approached, "Eh mas, this is really Mbak Wana coming home with her husband?"

"Lha yes no, a time of lies to Din?! If it's not time, let's tell you!"

"Suami mbak wana kok strange yes he said had a sun allergy. Does that mean staying home all afternoon?"

"Lha mbuh! Wes don't take care of Darren, take care of your husband! It's been a month since ki pie?!" gerutu Tono was upset.

Ms. Dini hit her husband's hand with a washcloth, "Iish, asked instead ngeles others! Wes didn't help me in the kitchen!" He passed away no matter Tono who continued to grumble.

In her study, Sari sat quietly staring at the photo album in front of her. He rubbed a picture of Nirvana at his birth. Having Nirvana is the most beautiful gift after a long journey of his life. 

"Is this a wrong decision?" he murmured softly, he closed his eyes, calming his mind.

The arrival of Nirvana leaves a sense of worry, whether his daughter can be happy with a vampire, precisely the King of vampires. He never thought how his daughter could get involved and marry a handsome vampire named Darren.

"Want me a massage?" doni's voice greeted him softly, whispering fondly in Sari's ear.

Sari fell silent feeling Doni's hand slowly massaging her soft shoulder. "Destiny is playing us again, Don?!"

"I thought it was over when I killed him."

"You remember what Pandji said? Mustika witch only changes one destiny to run to another." said Doni patiently.

"You were right, and now another fate is approaching our daughter." Sari opened her eyes and looked at her husband. "How does Darren look, is he handsome, pale and fanged?" 

Doni chuckled, his wife always being cold to the messenger Darren who came to see them three months ago. Even when the daughter-in-law came to see you begging Sari's blessing still did not budge to meet her. It was always Doni who faced his own vampire son-in-law.

"Curious right? That's why I met him yesterday." Doni pinches Sari's cheek.

"I'm not ready to meet that vampire. I'm still sprained by Wana!"

Sari looked at her husband's face, Doni could always calm her heart. "Is he worthy?"

"Well, after the series of tests we gave her, I think she deserves a chance dear. Darren loves Wana so much and vice versa."

"What if I call Bimasena or Bayu to do another test!"

"Sari! Is that enough, Wana will suffer greatly if you do? Want to get to when? Until Darren wins or Wana ages and spends golden time with Darren? That's not fair, Sari!"

Sari took a deep breath, "Alright, if it's best you think I'll go along."

Doni hugged Nirvana tightly. "Whatever Nirvana's decision must be best for him, rest assured."

Three luxury cars entered the courtyard. Nirwana is agitated as she descends from the airport, she is about to meet her parents after her sudden marriage to Darren. Darren's hand clasping tightly to Nirvana calmed his wife.

"Rumpy?"

"Of course I'm nervous Darren! You're making a surprise that's not very funny to me!" 

Darren chuckled, he had indeed deliberately kept everything secret from Nirwana. Shortly after his victory against the Vasile family, Darren secretly went to see Nirvana's parents. Not easy indeed, considering Abraham's first envoy was rejected outright by Nirvana's parents. In fact they almost lost their lives when Sari was furious and threatened the messengers with her family heirloom.

When Darren meets Nirvana's father for the first time, Doni even blows his heirloom right into Darren's heart. If Darren followed his emotions, it was certain that Doni would be defeated easily, but he respected his father-in-law. Darren loved Nirvana very much and he did not want to hurt Nirvana's feelings by hurting or killing her parents.

Darren never gave up, the next week he came back with a number of dowries filed. The wedding dowry was beyond the estimation of ordinary humans, and again Darren could do it. The handsome, real-blue-eyed sea vampire was tireless to approach her in-laws.

How much Darren can give for the happiness of Nirvana. Finally Nirvana's father was devastated and willing to accept Darren on the condition that Nirvana must come alone to visit both parents. The request was granted by Darren.

A meeting of four vampire families is held to inform Darren's departure, he enlists the help of Balan's family to lead a temporary clan. Abraham was also preoccupied with preparing carefully every detail required by the Nirvana family including repeating the marriage according to the customs of the Nirvana family.

Darren hides all of those things and intends to surprise Nirvana. Yesterday after their wild enough lovemaking game, Darren finally told Nirwana. His heart was both happy and sad, but Nirvana had to accept and take responsibility for her own decisions.

So this is where Nirvana, back to his house which is quite spacious. It was almost dark when Darren's party arrived. Darren opened the door for Nirvana and reached out like a princess descending from an iron horse.

"You ready?" Darren asked as he clasped Nirwana's hand tightly.

"Hmm, I don't know. I'm nervous, Darren. What if you throw me out?"

"No, I guarantee it won't happen." Darren's smile hinted at something Nirvana couldn't translate
