Between you and me

Demi

"This brownie is Dera's own? yummy. Mama cobain deh" said papa Dennis while giving a small bribe to his mother.

"It's really delicious. Gentle, the dough fits, no slingshot, no hook. Perfect as. Must be his talent dropped from his parents Chef right?" Ask mama. Dennis was silent to his mother's question.

"His parents weren't chef ma" Dennis said.

"Or he's the chef"

"He's a nurse ma, just finished graduation. Now again waiting for the call at RS."

"Waah nice dong has finished graduation. Nurse again, so later if mom gets sick there's Dera taking care of her . By the way, what kind of business does his parents have?" Ask mom again, while dad Dennis watches them while reading the paper.

"His parents had no business. His parents worked as laborers." Definitely Dennis.

"Labour? You mean the laborers who work in these factories?" Dennis asked half-in disbelief.

"Yes ma. But it's a permanent employee, not a contract."

"Yes, but it's still a laborer." Mama Dennis sighed and her father folded the newspaper he had held.

"Dennis, mommy is equally papa never forbid you to hang out with anyone. But if you choose a life partner, we hope you think carefully." Said mom.

"He's done college ma. he's a smart kid, went to college on a scholarship, and graduated cumlaude." Dennis explains.

"And I can teach him ma. Just like my mom taught me the business world" Dennis gave me an offer.

"Different teaching after adulthood with who has understood since childhood" said papa Dennis gave an explanation after just listening.

"Dear, think about it. It's all for you and the future of your descendants." Dennis could only be silent.

"This is why from the beginning papa wants you to study abroad, let you hang out with people who do have a business soul." Said papa.

"Naah mengumpung your relationship has not been far away, mama equally ask you to think and reflect on what we said just now. We love you so much, and this is all we do for your good in the future." Obviously mama while drinking warm tea.

Mama and Papa Dennis have left for the office. Dennis was still sitting at the dinner table staring at the brownies made by Dera that were no longer intact, as if symbolizing the mood of Dennis who is now being crushed. Dennis did not expect the relationship he had with Dera to be hindered by his parents. Great desire to continue the relationship with Dera, but he could not deny his parents.

"Mas Dennis didn't go to college?" Bi Inda's words awaken Dennis from his daydream.

"Bi's soon." Dennis replied briefly.

"Sorry, my aunt had heard a conversation with my father and mother, I should think carefully about the words of both parents Dennis." Advice by bi Inda.

"That's bi, I'm confused by this situation" Dennis's face seemed flushed with tears. "I've never felt in love, she's my first love, she's the one who can make my heart flutter. But what should I do if both of my parents reject bi." Dennis says. And tears flowed slowly from her cheeks.
