"Did your parents know about us? At least do they know you have a boyfriend?" kalila.
"They know." replied Theo sure.
"What?"
"Why? You don't believe me, I've said that I have a lover and they don't mind it." Theo replied casually.
Kalila who was surprised Theo's response that was too relaxed and seemed to underestimate made Kalila astonished.
"Do they know about me?"
"No. More precisely not yet. Do you want me to introduce you to my parents?" goda Theo smiled knowing what Kalila was worried about.
"No, my max is not now, I am not ready for heartache" Kalila looked down.
"What do you mean by heartache? Why do you have to be hurt?" theo asked in surprise to approach Kalila.
"You haven't said anything about me, they may not like me and reject me" Theo was astonished to hear Kalila's words.
"Wait...Don't tell me you've been rejected by your future in-laws before...?" guess Theo, Kalila who got a statement on target made him look up at Theo.
"So..really?"
Kalila nodded, not rejected by the prospective in-laws but had not arrived there had been rejected by her future husband who became her boyfriend as well.
Theo approached Kalila holding her.
"That's not going to happen, I'm going to fight for my love" Theo said.
"really? Is that sure you are?" kalila asked doubtfully.
"You... You just have to trust me?"
"Really...?"
"Sure..."
"What if your parents set you up with someone?"
Theo took off his embrace, to hear Kalila's unexpected question.
"Why do I have an arranged marriage if I have you?" theo asked back.
"Are they going to bless us?"
Theo looked at Kalila in wonder, what made him not believe me? inner Theo.
"How about tonight we try to meet them?" challenge Theo.
"What?"
"I'll make an appointment with my parents and I'll pick you up tonight. Let's see what their reaction is?" Theo contacted his secretary to arrange a dinner schedule with his parents.
Theo clenched Kalila, inhaling her fragrance, making the one below stiffen. Theo immediately let go of his embrace, Theo did not want to lose control.
Kalila still could not believe what was happening, thinking about the bad possibility that would happen later.
"We're back like you missed your lunch hour. Eat first, I'll give you an extra hour of rest." Theo sat Karina in the chair. And start eating.
**
At 7 pm, Theo was ready in front of the house Kalila chat with Aksa like a long time never met. Talk to young people who only understand.
Kalila was prepared with dres under the knee yellow ivory and black leggings of shirt material, making Kalila look more beautiful and cute. Theo flinched straight up from his seat as he saw Kalila emerge from behind the door of the house.
"Well.tumben is beautiful!" goda Aksa broke the silence of the two lovebirds.
Placed..
Aksa's head was pinned by Kalila in pain.
"Yes. mbak's sick."
"That's why don't you just talk.." Theo smiled looking at the two brothers who were still always arguing.
About an hour later they arrived at Theo's house, the butler taking them in. But Kalila is still unmoved in her place standing in front of the door of Theo's very luxurious house, Kalila is still shocked to look at Theo's house which is the son of the President of the famous property businessman in his city even in his country. Kalila became less inclined to go inside.
Bad thoughts haunt him, the rejection that might occur makes him nervous afraid and hesitant again to step up. When Theo saw Kalila who was still standing outside the door not following him, Theo again clasped Kalila's hand.
They arrived at the dining room, already available a variety of luxurious dishes prepared at the dining table. Kalila approached Theo's mother of Indonesian origin, greeting Theo's mother following Theo.
"That's pretty? What's your name, son?" theo's mother, Kartika.
"Kalila Aunty," replied Kalila politely.
"Beautiful as the name suggests,"
"Thank you aunt." replied Kalila smiling shyly reddened her face.
Theo was right, Theo Kartika's mother was very friendly.
"Let's sit down, wait for your papa to receive a call from his business partner," said Kartika sitting at the place that has been prepared, as well as Theo and Kalila followed.
Papa Theo arrives after a few minutes of sitting, they stand up again greeting papa Theo, Mr. Jhoni. Kalila looked down as soon as Theo introduced herself. Jhoni or more familiarly called Mr.Jhon a Dutch citizen whose face is similar to Theo, if they stand together maybe people will say Theo is a young version of his father.
Mr.Jhon who is also fluent in Indonesian is very friendly, far from Kalila's shadow about his estimates so far. They ate quietly and in silence, it seemed like they were completely forbidding to talk while eating.
After we finished eating we gathered in the family room which had been provided drinks and snacks by the housemaid. Kalila did not talk much she only listened to the conversation of two men who talked about business that Kalila did not understand.
"Follow auntie yuk!" take Kartika to wave at Kalila.
Kalila looked at Theo, she just nodded reassuringly not to be too anxious. Kalila followed Kartika to her reading room. Kalila waited on the designated sofa.
"Wait here, auntie grab something in the room for a second."
"Yes aunty." Kalila's a little awkward.
After a few minutes Kartika appeared from behind the door across the sofa which seemed to be the connecting door between the reading room and her private room.
Kartika opened the box he carried out the contents, a gold bracelet that looks very expensive may be a price that can never be accepted Kalila common sense.
"Do you know what this is, son?" tanya Kartika showed Kalila the bracelet.
What to ask again, isn't that a bracelet? kalila mind that had not been answered had been answered Kartika.
"You're right it's a bracelet" said Kartika smiling as if she knew what Kalila was thinking. Kalila just smiled shyly.
"You know. This bracelet is a family legacy of heredity."
It's not just any bracelet.
"Tante got this from my mother-in-law first?"
What does that mean?How could I fail to understand why he told me?
"Now I give it to you!"
"Yes?....what? oops." Kalila immediately closed her mouth in shock and unintentionally shouted in front of Kartika. Kartika just smiled.
"Ta..but I..."
"I know you're still dating. You know Theo told us everything about you, every time he told me about you, Kalila this is how Kalila is.." Kartika said with a big smile about her son. Kalila further blushed her face withstanding embarrassment.
"She's been telling me about you, since college in year 2, when I told you to introduce yourself to us she always said it wasn't time, it wasn't time, always looking for excuses to reject her. But yesterday he called a aunt for dinner. Aunty was very happy." obviously Kartika smiled happily.
Ah, so has she liked me that long?
"Thank you for accepting Theo, you know before you get to know you and start telling me about you, Theo's a quiet kid who doesn't know what makes him quiet. He also does not want to hang out with his peers. Aunty had thought about whether anyone would want to be with her. Aunty is glad you can give back our old Theo," said Kartika at length her eyes glazed about Theo. Kalila clasped Kartika's fingers hoping to cheer her up.
"Kalila promise aunty, will always be on Theo's side and love him," Kartika smiled.
