Being Match with a Manly Man
CHAPTER 62 - Surprise
IN THE DINING ROOM
They had dinner together with a quiet atmosphere. After dinner, they started to open the conversation in the living room. Rey sits next to Dion and his parents. Karin sits with her cousin's parents. Risa was already saying goodbye to the room first because she was sleepy, maybe because she was pregnant so quickly tired.
"Rey congratulations on your wife's pregnancy" Dion said, patting Rey on the shoulder and embracing her with a sweet smile.
"Thank you ion, how do you like my cousin-in-law?" tanyanya whispers.
"I'm confused, I don't know yet. I'll tell you on WhatsApp, bro!" dion said quietly in Rey's ear.
"Ok sip's. Ready to listen to your curses, bro."
Papa Kevin told me about Karin's life.
"Today was the son of my younger brother Keynan Putra Alexander, Both my parents lived in Korea, My mother was Indonesian-Korean and happened to be Mama Karin is also Korean. So from childhood Karin lived in Korea. But take it easy, Karin can speak Indonesian because her father used to go to school in Indonesia and everyday his grandparents also speak Indonesian," Kevin said at length.
Then Dion's parents also told him about Dion's life.
"Dion is my second son. My first child died when he was a toddler. Dion people are independent, since childhood I schooled in the boarding school until the level of Junior High. My high school is in international school so that my son is well educated and they happen to be classmates again with Rey. If for the problem of arranged marriage let them decide for themselves, because they will live it," said Papa Dion.
"Yes I agree, neither does our family impose a will if Dion should be the son-in-law of the Alexander Family."
"Well, I'd like permission to speak with Dion's eyes?" karin.
"Talking four eyes is not good, because if you look at the eyes it is the same as eye zina. It would be nice if we are accompanied by someone in speaking, if only the third two are demons," said Dion.
"That's right, the thought of him everywhere is too religious. Just want to talk to each other. I don't like guys like this, my life will be full of rules that will become inner pressure. I don't want to die young from torture." Inner Karin.
"All right, it's up to you!" Karin has also resigned.
They were accompanied by Bi Ika on the porch of the house to chat.
"Have you accepted this match?" ask Karin to the point.
"I can't answer it now. We just live as friends, if indeed God's scenario says if we are destined to be a match why not?"
"Cihh...What kind of answer is that? There is no certainty!" Karin immediately left Dion who was still silent on the porch of the house.
Dion immediately chased Karin into the living room so they did not suspect.
"Then we go home. Thank you for the dinner" said Mama Dion.
"Together sir, thank you for taking the time to stop by our hut."
"Ah this father is too low, even though your life is even far above average. Even your house is like a palace" said Papa Dion.
"Father could have, do not talk too much," said Papa Kevin with a smile.
They have gone home, in the living room lived 4 people, Papa Kevin, Mama Angel, Rey and Karin.
"Darling you how did you end up talking to Dion? You guys ready to be betrothed?" said Mama Angel.
"We agreed to be friends first Ma" said Karin
"Today's permission to go to the room first yes," he said again.
Everyone in the living room immediately dispersed. They went to their own rooms.
...*****...
IN KARIN'S ROOM
"I don't want to be betrothed to Dion, not yet anything is so cold" while laying down on a queen-size bed.
"Ting.." WhatsApp message voice came in with an unknown number.
📥 081356xxxxx : "Assalamualaikum. Save my number, if you want to talk anything about matchmaking via WhatsApp."
Karin who read the WhatsApp message also knew who the message was from. Who else if not from Dion, the stiff and cold guy Karin had met. Karin did not reply to the WhatsApp message, preferring to sleep.
...*****...
THE RISA ROOM
Rey walks to her bed. Rey sees his wife asleep hugging a brown doll. Rey is laying herself on the backboard. He was waiting for Dion to vent. A few minutes later, a WhatsApp message came in.
"Tin..."
📥 Dion: "Assalamualaikum Rey, I don't want to be betrothed to your cousin-in-law. She's a lot different than your wife. He speaks loudly and his people are sweetened. I don't like."
📤 Rey: "Wa'alaikum Salam, try first bro befriend him. Maybe you'll know his true nature when you're friends with him."
📥 Dion: "I don't think I can accept this match. I liked another girl when I met her for the first time at your wedding. Sorry if I had to refuse this match."
📥 Dion: "Wa'alaikum Salam Rey. Good night."
"Dion likes another girl turns out. How am I gonna talk to Grandpa and Grandma this way."
Rey pulled the blanket to her stomach. He kissed his wife and fell asleep. Later that night after praying, Rey and Risa decide to go home to Rey.
...*****...
Mang Ujang Rey's personal driver from a young age had picked her up in the yard.
"Papa, Mama, Risa said yes to Rey's house first," he said, kissing the backs of his parents' hands and then hugging her.
"Dear baby be careful, you don't be tired, remember now you are pregnant," said Mama Angel while stroking her son's long hair.
"Yes Ma" he said briefly.
"Son Rey took Papa's son? Follow everything Risa wants. Pregnant people like to change mood."
"Yes Pa, Rey will take good care of Risa."
"Honey you take care of my nephew yes, you have to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables to always be healthy mother and baby" said Karin.
"Thank you say. If you miss me, I can play Rey's house."
Karin also gave her right hand code to form the letter ok. They leave Risa's parents' house.
...*****...
Rey and Risa are home and they are in the living room.
IN THE FAMILY ROOM
"Thank God the son and daughter-in-law of Mami have come home. How is your honeymoon fun in Korea?" ask Mami Ana.
"Seru Mi, we often travel and culinary in South Korea," said Rey.
Mami Ana did not ask him what he ordered and should be there. At that time Risa did not answer her WhatsApp messages. Mami Ana understands the reason Risa did not reply to her WhatsApp message Mami Ana thinks that Risa is not pregnant yet so she better not reply to her WhatsApp message. Mami Ana also became confused with her daughter-in-law, who continued to urge her with the question of when to get pregnant.
FLASHBACKS
"Ting.." Risa's phone rang.
📥 Mami Ana : "Honey, tomorrow Rey's 19th birthday. You prepare a special gift for your children later tonight. You have 3 weeks in South Korea and 3 days back to Indonesia. Try this morning you test with a test pack whether you are pregnant or not. Mami wishes her test results were two lines dear. Suppose you are not pregnant, later tonight as a birthday gift for Rey you make a grandchild yes dear, so you do not have to bother buying a special gift for Rey 😊.
Risa scrunched her forehead reading a WhatsApp message from her mother-in-law.
"What kind of birthday is this? There's always a request from the mother-in-law." Risa's mind while patting her head.
FLASHBACK OFF
Rey opened her suitcase to give her parents a gift. Various snacks and Korean miniatures he bought. Mami Ana also looks disappointed because the order is not there. Papi Aldi who saw the look on his wife's face then embraced and held her shoulder.
"One more souvenir of Mami who has not been seen," said Rey with a smile.
"Where's honey? Didn't you take out all your suitcases?" Mami Ana was confused to hear her son's words.
Rey then squatted right in front of Risa's stomach. Rey stroked Risa's stomach slowly and kissed her.
"Surprises..... Mami's order is already there, Risa is pregnant with my son Mi," he said who still stroked his wife's stomach.
While Risa smiling face towards her two in-laws. Mami Ana also had teary eyes she immediately hugged her husband.
"But, we'll soon have Pi's grandson." Mami Ana is thrilled to hear that her daughter-in-law is pregnant.
"Yes Mi" he said slowly.
Papi Aldi shed his happy tears. Mami Ana then released her embrace and approached her favorite daughter-in-law.
"Dear thank you for giving special gifts to Mami. You take good care of Mami's granddaughter, baby," he said while stroking his daughter-in-law's stomach for a moment.
"Sama-sama Mi's. Risa will take care of Mami's granddaughter with all her abilities that Risa has," she said with a smile and stroking her stomach is still flat.
"Oh yes, this afternoon we check with the obstetrician, baby, let us know how many weeks your gestational age has been."
"Yes Mi, Risa wants to."
"Yes, Mami will contact Yudha's doctor. We'll be in the hospital later. Now you rest first, baby," he said gently.
"Good Mi."
"Rey you take your wife to rest in the room, son. Pregnant women should not be tired." Papi Aldi also gave a code for his son to go to the room.
"Yes Pi."
Rey then takes Risa to her room.
