Conqueror of the Casanova

Simple family

...Happy Reading ...

......................

In the afternoon Gio and Diandra are seen outside the hotel along with the rest of the Diandra family. They intend to find lunch outside, after from yesterday continue to eat hotel cuisine.

Gio has provided a special family car with a fairly large number of seats, so it can accommodate all members of the Diandra family. This time Gio drove himself, although as usual, another child car always faithfully followed them from behind.

Diandra sat in the middle seat with Binda, while Ares, Ana, and Andra sat in the back seat. I sat down next to Gio. Diandra was surprised when Gio opened the middle door and told himself to enter, whereas before, the man always never wanted to be far from him, if he was driving.

However, it turns out that Gio was quite mature when the man was in the middle of his family, he knew that he was married to a firstborn child, who automatically had to position himself as the eldest son-in-law as well.

Gio respected Dad more, and gave him a seat beside the wheel, while choosing to budge and stay away from his wife.

Today Randi has returned to work in the office, while Romi and his family have been saying goodbye since this morning, considering he also had to return to work soon he hotel.

Along the journey filled with typical big family discussions, whatever they see will be the talk that will later expand everywhere. Even sometimes an ad written on the board alone, can make them laugh happily.

A while later Gio had parked his car in front of a simple restaurant, the choice of the Diandra family of course. He said Dad was tired of eating fancy food at the hotel, so for this afternoon they instead chose a regular food stall that looks quite big.

Diandra seemed to hold back a smile, when Gio seemed hesitant to go inside, he knew that Gio had always been spoiled by luxury. It seems only on the beach alone Gio wants to eat at a simple seafood stall, because there are rarely fancy restaurants.

"Darling, are you sure you're going to eat here?" gio asked, having previously withdrawn from his family-in-law.

"Indeed why? This restaurant looks clean, the food is also good. Yuk, in!" Diandra immediately grasped Gio's hand and pulled him to walk back, following his family who had walked first.

"But, honey, is this the first time we've ever had your family eat out, when we've eaten in a place like this?" Gio was still trying to bargain.

Diandra exhaled violently while stopping her steps, she looked at Gio, preparing to give an explanation, as her husband seemed still reluctant to enter.

"My family comes from the village, they will not be comfortable if we continue to eat in a fancy restaurant, and it will be more comfortable if eating in a simple restaurant like this, Gio," explained Diandra.

"Come, let's go in. Later they will wait for us a long time," continued Diandra again while returning to continue his steps.

Gio looked speechless, digesting what his wife had just said, he then nodded faintly, upon understanding what his wife had been talking about just now. With his broad strides he equalled Diandra, and walked hand in hand.

Arriving inside, it turns out that Father and the others have chosen a seat that is located in a saung, at the back of the restaurant.

Everyone had ordered food except for Gio and Diandra, who had just arrived.

"We have ordered a package of rice liwet complete with grilled fish and vegetable tamarind. Now it's your turn to order" Dad said when Gio and Diandra had just arrived.

"We're the same as them, how?" ask Diandra to Gio.

"May, but add fried chicken as well," replied Gio.

"Well, Mr. –" The restaurant waiter seemed to repeat the order from all of them before resigning himself.

It turns out that the traditional-style sunda restaurant, looks quite large, with a play area for children, making Andra who just woke up, after falling asleep during the trip directly struggling to invite Ares to play.

The boy who was very active, as if not tired, continued to walk and run to and fro, looking for a game that he found interesting.

Gio who was initially hesitant to go in and eat there, even several times seemed to ask for more rice. It turns out that eating simple with family, makes the atmosphere more pleasant and can add to appetite.

Gio, who rarely has time to eat with family, was very happy because he could take the time to accompany his family-in-law who was visiting Jakarta. Although surely tomorrow his work will pile up, considering he will return to the office after a few years he left it.

During this time Gio only noticed from afar, sometimes Randi also check the condition of the office, while to come and join, Gio even never did it. Everything is still held by Gio's father's former confidant.

After finishing lunch, they continued to head to the mall, to look for souvenirs. Although the Diandra family came from the village, with a medium-sized economic tarap. However, they have not never been to Jakarta, especially Father and Mother, long ago when the grandparents of Diandra and Gio were still there and were friends, they often visited each other, they often visited each other, what else if there is an event.

Although after getting older, they are no longer strong enough to travel far, until it becomes rare to meet.

Entering the largest mall, where Diandra shopping with her in-laws and sisters-in-law yesterday, everything seemed sparkling to see the beauty and luxury offered by the mall concept.

"Well, this mall is big, yes," said Ares, who was immediately embraced by everyone, they circulated his gaze, looking at every corner of the mall that could be reached by the eye.

Although, eventually they all seem reluctant to buy things, because the price is exorbitant. Those who are accustomed to shopping at wholesalers or regular shopping centers, immediately retreat regularly, when they see the prices placed on the labels of the goods there.

"Pardon me, Bun, look at the price!" said Ana, when she idly saw the price of a shirt on display in front of a store.

Mother who saw immediately justifies his eyes, then shakes her head feeling will not be able to buy it.

"What to buy expensive clothes, later also if you are tired of being lazy to wear again" he said, while poking his lips.

Ana who heard Mother's murmur, nodded in agreement. He also will not want to buy clothes at exorbitant prices, a waste of money.

Their attitude is the same as Diandra yesterday, when invited to shop by his in-laws and in-laws. Therefore, now Gio is the one who plays an important role, to convince his in-laws and brothers-in-law to choose whatever they like.

"The price of clothes here, can be enough to give our labor salary for one week, Dad," Mother argued to Dad.

"Dad, this is mah, mending us kumpulin money to buy kebon in the village, rather than buying clothes that will just pile up in the closet sajah," replied Dad innocently.

"Sister, aren't you mistaken to get us in here? Where would you like, Mother of the same Father, shopping in such an expensive place." Ana who walked with Diandra seemed to be nudging Diandra.

"So, this is the mall where the Gio family is shopping. I told you, go to the regular mall. But, you will know for yourself how Gio is, where does he want to go to such a place," grumbled Diandra, taking a quick glance at her husband who was walking behind her.

"A', mending we shop elsewhere, here the price is like an expensive deh. Father of the same Mother who wants to shop here.they even think of buying kebon or rice fields, if you see the price of clothes here," said Ares who walks with Gio, who walks with him, while pushing Andra who was fast asleep on the stroler. He seemed to know what his parents were thinking.

Gio scratched the back of his head, confused by the attitude of all the Diandra family who did not even want to when he presented luxury items in plain sight. They even agreed to protest together on him because it was considered wrong to bring them to a place like this.

Geez, my family-in-law is indeed different, it's just that Grandpa doesn't want to lose them, until I match up with Diandra. They were not at all glared at treasures and luxury goods. His life is simple, and what it is. Inner Gio, sees the entire Diandra family.

Thank you Grandpa, Papah, for you I can be in the middle of a family like them. People are kind and simple, without wanting to be a burden and shame for those around them. Now I realize, why you forced me to marry Diandra, to reconnect the cord that you have created.

Now that I can accept it, I even love her. The wife you chose for me was the best one for me.
