Child From Another Man

Chapter 5

Tia Tumben once made tea for guests. He usually never does that. Suddenly Mr. Asep was looking for Dara.

"Where's Dara...? How can he not be seen."

Ask Mr. Asep.

"Kok she nyari Dara anyway. There is already me here. Sebel to me."

Tia's inner speech shirked.

"Emmmm again go with her boyfriend this time sir."

Connect Tia.

Tia purposely replied like that, so that they would not be interested in Dara. Hearing Tia's reply, Mr. Asep and his family became shocked.

"Daughter...?? Didn't Dara yesterday say she didn't have a boyfriend..?"

Answer Mr. Asep again.

Grandpa asked Mr. Asep's question.

"Dara has long since broken up with her boyfriend Ali. So he's not in touch with who - who. Tia knows about Dara."

Connect grandpa Irwan.

Irwan's grandfather explains Dara's relationship with her boyfriend, because what grandfather knew when Dara came to meet Ali, he thought Dara had decided Ali not to be in a relationship anymore.

Shortly after, Dara came out of her room. He felt excited to welcome Leon's family.

"Why not like yesterday. Today it feels like my heart is pounding so hard."

Dara's inner speech.

How glad Leon was to see Dara coming out of his room to meet them. Her charming face made Leon stop admiring her.

Tia who was still standing in the middle of them seemed to feel regretful.

"That's so nice of Dara, so pretty, so sweet, so plain. Grandpa also likes to pick him up again. It's really me."

Tia's inner speech.

"Hay Dara how are you."

Leon asked as he sat in the living room with his family.

"Good Leon. What about you and your family."

Dara replied while showing her sweet smile. Dara looks very fresh to see Leon who is wearing a long black knit sweater. The curves of his body were visible while wearing that shirt.

Tia had no idea they knew each other.

"You are all the same - equally familiar."

Tia asked in surprise.

"Leon has been here before. You are the new one."

Answer Dara.

Tia felt alienated while in their midst. Tia went away by herself.

"Squeaky. The feeling he's still dating Ali, you cheesy. Unwilling to admit her boyfriend for the sake of being close to another man, pretentious. I really want to break her face. Hih sebel."

Tia's inner speech was very upset.

Tia still couldn't accept this.

"I used to love Ali. But Ali prefers Dara, and now Dara is wasting Ali."

Inner Tia still did not accept. While Grandpa Irwan and Leon's family were enjoying tea made by Tia earlier.

Mr. Asep invited Dara and Leon to ask each other answers and chat whatever they want.

Ashamed, Dara is not confident with her appearance in front of Leon who wears Magenta colored clothes. But inevitably Dara must be confident in front of Leon.

Leon starts a conversation with Dara.

"Grandfather, can you not if I invite Dara to go to the park near here.? Let's have a nice talk, cake. Shame on being here."

Said Leon with a sweet smile.

"Oh please may dong. Yaudah there you two go. Mr. Asep and Ms. Yuli here just don't go anywhere nemenin grandpa."

Grandpa answered allowing.

Leon takes the keys to his car and takes Dara to the park where Dara met Ali yesterday.

"duh. Why in the park anyway, yesterday I was able to meet Ali there. Ali's afraid it's there too, it could be this mess."

Inner Dara was worried.

"Gold, Leon. Should we go to the beach..? It seems like the air is cooler and more soothing."

Dara asked Leon to shift his goal from the start.

"May also. Yaudah we go to the beach."

Leon replied to Dara's request.

In the car they both chatted about their personal lives.

*****

"Ali, I can't talk to you."

Tia asked nicely.

"You ask what..?"

Answer Ali ketus.

"You really broke up with Dara..? Dara wants to go with another guy."

Tia said honestly.

Fortunately, Ali did not believe Tia's words, even though Tia was actually telling the truth.

"She's fighting sheep with Dara, and ruining our relationship."

Ali's inner speech did not believe Tia's words.

"That's a big step for you. They know people's business. Yaudah I'm first yeah."

Ali replied with a wrench again.

Tia was annoyed by Ali's attitude that underestimated him.

"Ihhh, what the hell am I lacking. Though I am beautiful, tall and slim not rich Dara that short, but why Ali even underestimated me rich anyway. Sebel to me."

Praise Tia for herself.

"Tell me later. Ali will be a nyesel, because he won't believe my words. Catch that..!!"

Tia's inner speech with a grudge.

*****

Leon was curious about Tia's remark earlier, that Dara already had a boyfriend.

"Oh yeah, I want it. Why did the girl say that you already have a boyfriend. You were dating before."

Leon asked curiously while driving his car.

"Emmm yes. But you're not, because grandpa doesn't fit him."

Dara replied while lowering her gaze. He did not dare to look at Leon's face because he was lying.

"Why do you depend on Grandpa...? You're not your grandfather."

Ask Leon again.

"My grandfather doesn't fit anyone means it's nothing, it's not good according to grandfather."

Answer Dara.

"Oh so. Yasee means I am safe with you. No one is jealous."

Said Leon while focusing on looking ahead.

"There is no dong. Who is jealous."

Answer Dara.

Dara is forced to lie because she is afraid that Leon knows Dara is still in contact with Ali.

Physically and materially, Dara prefers Leon. While the heart, Dara is still in love with Ali.

Dara knew Ali from childhood, and she thought Ali was a good person. But the more mature Dara's mind turned to matter. Yes it is true, looking for a partner must be assessed from the seedlings bebet weight, said parents, for the sake of a good future.

Leon looked at Dara while driving his car. She said, Dara is so beautiful. Dara also looked back at Leon, in his heart he said that Leon was also handsome, but not mentioned.

"Why don't you find a girlfriend in college, lots of pretty girls. They're all educated, too."

Dara.

"Searching for the couple is not that easy Dara, comfortable is also not easy. But once at ease with people, even if we're new to it, it's not a problem."

Answer Leon.

"If I liked you, you wouldn't be my girlfriend."

Leon tries to tell her his feelings, but the inappropriate one is a wish.

"If you like it, I might accept it too, but...."

Dara paused her speech.

"But what.?"

Ask Leon curious.

"Sometimes girls need certainty. If dating continues there is no certainty for what."

Answer Dara.

Dara spoke like that while remembering Ali.

"Yes I also want that, if I like girls, I immediately apply, continue to negotiate with couples to marry when. Materially inshaallah I am ready anyway, the candidate is not yet."

"You don't want to be the candidate..?"

Leon asked with a serious face.
