" tomorrow come ?"
Rey's been in kost an Andin now . At school they did not meet , because the class had an additional lesson , so only this afternoon they can talk.
" where to ?"
" his birthday Aunty Vienna, Papa has a reservation for dinner."
" diner ?" Andin looked at her in wonder . "it's your family event, why should I come along ?"
" Papa told you to make sure you're ."
Andin laughs.
" can't believe it ?" ask Rey sewot .
" nope is ."
" yes I've called papa now . " Rey picked up the phone in her pocket and when she was about to call her papa, Andin forbade.
" don't be .."
" let's let you believe ."
" yes, believe ." Andin shut up for a while. "but you better not yeah .. I'm not good, it's a family event ."
" so you want to decline papa's invitation ?"
" it's not like that ..."
" just relax, not an official event as well." persuaded Rey , although he was actually curious also by the words of his father this morning , is there indeed a serious matter to be decided about the relationship of Papa and Aunt Vienna .
Andin finally nodded despite a little hesitation.
" now we go to the mall first yes, find a gift for Aunt Vienna ."
" Vienna, it's all done . " Poppy , who served as a financial manager at this company, became his closest friend here .
" it's Pop already, just stay a little bit this anyway, yesterday I've been nyicil bring some, so this is just the rest ."
" are you sure you want to leave a job ?" poppy asked to make sure, it might look doubtful on her face .
Vienna nodded . "yes, this was the day I decided ."
" yeah ya ya, it is your desire to be a full housewife ."
Vienna sighed softly . He did tell Poppy once, after marriage .. he wanted to devote his life to the family . Without having to be a career woman like now .
He smiled . This would be the greatest happiness of his life, had he known what the end of all this would be .
Tomorrow will be the most important day of his life .
He will leave his work here to be his wife and mother completely or .. if destiny says otherwise, this will be a farewell for him . He will lose his long-dreamed marriage and his job .
The thought of it made his heart beat fast . If Rey rejects him tomorrow, then he must be willing to leave the family he has always felt he already had, but .
Already from the beginning he knew what the relationship will be like , but still , he was afraid to face it , what he could lose all . Losing this new family he's gonna have.
" Win how crying ?" ask Poppy worried.
Vienna shocked, unwittingly it turns out tears dripped .
" no papa Pop, only I feel sad if I have to leave this job" he said .
Slowly Poppy approached and hugged her . "yes I must also miss a lot, usually every day we are both here ."
Before long Poppy let go of her embrace . "but I'm also happy, soon you will be Madame Gunawan." she said .
Vienna smiling flatly . " Amin.." only those words can be spoken as an answer . May it all be according to his will, if not, he will prepare his heart from now on .
