Dear Captains

22. Seriously

It turns out Damian really took me to see my parents. Damian's on his way to get me. I don't think I believe Damian is that serious. We just got to know each other, even the way we met was not as beautiful as in Korean dramas that used romantic settings and were full of sweet surprises. Even the way we met was embarrassing because I fell while we were camping. God, if I remember that, it feels like my face wants me to throw into the river to get washed away.

"Hi.." said Damian who surprised the daydream.

"E ehh. Hi," I said back with a bit of a wave.

"What dreamer? Sorry for the long wait. There was a little business in Rumdis."

"No."

"It seems like you're nervous. Though the one who wants to meet your parents is me, dear," Damian grabbed my shoulder with a sweet smile.

"You sure?"

"Why? You're not sure about me!!"

"It's not like that. But. We just met. Are you sure of how you feel?"

"The soldier is always confident in the steps he takes."

"Mm.." I muttered while looking at him.

"Trust me." Damian held my little face and pointed right at his handsome face.

"Yes." I nodded.

"Let's go, yuk."

Along the way, Damian just fell silent and focused down the streets. Occasionally speaking just because asking for the direction of the road. Is Damian thinking about something? Is he composing words to meet my parents later? I wonder if he will meet my parents.

"Yank, how long is it gonna be?" damian asked suddenly and broke my daydream.

"Eh.." I saw a clock on my wrist. "It looks like 10 minutes to go."

"Okay, it's close."

"You ask me how many more times until you believe it?"

"Eemm yes, yes."

Finally, we arrived. Damian parked his car. We went down and walked towards the house. I saw my parents standing on the porch. It was as if he had come out to welcome us. They smiled kindly at us.

"Dad. Ibuk." I shook my parents' hands and hugged my mother, because I actually missed her so much.

"Is this what my name is, Damian?" asked my mother with a friendly smile at Damian.

"Yes, Buk. Meet this Damian sister Sesil told me about."

Damian reached out and greeted my parents. My father and mother welcomed us with pleasure. But I don't know my father, he just smiled without saying a word.

"Come in" my mother asked.

My mother and I went into the room. I helped my mother to get us drinks and cakes. Damian and my dad are still in the living room. Either they talk about what is clearly the atmosphere in the living room so impressed serious and tense.

"Well, here's the cake and drink. Ayokk enjoyed first. We keep eating. You must be hungry from a long journey."

"Thank you, ma'am," Damian said softly.

My mother and I prepared the table and arranged the food that was prepared before we came. We enjoyed the food, because my mother's cooking was the best. So yummy.

"Please permit. Dad, mom."

"Yes, son," said my mother.

"Formerly, I thank you for welcoming me here with pleasure. Actually, my goal is to come here because there's something I want to talk about with mom and dad."

Beyond my expectations, Damian is amazing. He's not even nervous at all. In fact, he was very firm. I am the stubborn one.

"I want to have a serious relationship with Sesil. I want to ask permission and blessing from my mom and dad."
