After waiting for a month, Darian finally set aside time for dinner with Kinanti and her parents. It's true that having Darian eat is even harder than meeting the President. It took Darian a month to leave Hanna for a while and leave with her family. Either Hanna forbids him from leaving or Darian reluctantly reunites with her family again.
Their dinner appointment starts at 8 p.m. And since 6 Kinanti has been getting ready for not wanting to be late to be there.
"Mas, let's get ready too. It doesn't feel good that we're late and Mama Papa is waiting too long." Said Kinanti while pecking herself in front of the mirror.
Lazily Darian moved her body from the bed. It appears that Darian is reluctant to join the Kinanti euphoria. Kinanti approached him and held both of Darian's shoulders. His eyes looked straight into Darian's eyes.
"Mas, I beg you. At least you should pretend to be enthusiastic and excited. Not for me, but for your parents. Youunderstand?" Ask Kinanti seriously.
Darian just nodded half-heartedly. Tonight he should be able to binge with his girlfriend while watching Netflix and maybe take Hanna for a round on the couch. But this fucking dinner thing messed things up. Since this afternoon Kinanti had told him to go home and get ready.
"Let's take a shower and get ready. I'll pick out clothes for you." Kinanti.
Darian only grumbled indistinctly as he walked towards the bathroom. Kinanti snorted softly. Exhausted it felt like persuading Darian to pretend to be a good husband with Kinanti. Though all Kinanti wants is that her two in-laws do not know there is a problem in their household. But it seems Darian can't be invited to cooperate.
At half-time seven in the evening, Kinanti and Darian were ready and performed amazingly. Kinanti wore a long sapphire-blue dress with a diamond necklace adorning her neck. While Darian looks dashing with matching colored suits. The two are ready to go on stage and show the world how happy they are.
...****************...
The dinner that Kinanti and her mother-in-law planned went quite well. The food was delicious, the place was beautiful, and the two in-laws seemed happy to see their son and daughter-in-law present and romantic. But still the atmosphere felt awkward. Because it seems to Darian it is very difficult to hide the fact that he does not want to be in that place.
During the dinner, Darian focused only on his food while occasionally giving the exact reply to the words of his parents. Even Darian looked faintly smiling and only showed a lazy smile as Kinanti nudged her legs.
"You don't like eating with us, do you, Ian?" Tanya Mama Darian felt sad when she saw her uninspired child.
Kinanti glared towards Darian. He nudges Darian's leg under the table and signals Darian to stop acting so annoyingly.
"Ah, no, Ma. Ian's just a lot of thoughts." Darian replied with a smile.
Kinanti. Really am. Can't Darian please his family just this once? If allowed, it felt like Kinanti was eager to hit Darian's head with the dinner plate in front of him. Who knew a hard blow would realign his brain and allow him to think like a sane person?
At last the dinner ended. Without any meaningful discussion. Without any stories being shared. And without it there are stories that will become memories. Darian hurriedly moved out of his chair when he saw his father and mother standing up and preparing to go home. Suddenly Darian gets excited at the thought of being able to immediately return to Hanna's place and share the warmth of the night with her lover.
"Let's go home." Get Darian excited.
Kinanti just rolled her eyes irritated. Basic men do not know in profit. How could he have been so cruel to his own parents? Is it true that in her brain there is only Hanna so that the others look insignificant to her?
Kinanti also stood up and held Darian. He and Darian walked side by side trailing behind Darian's parents. Suddenly, however, he lost his balance. His world seemed to spin and blurred. Kinanti and eventually fell unconscious. Fortunately Darian was sprightly and caught Kinanti so that Kinanti did not fall smashing into the hard marble floor.
"Kinan's? You why?" Darian asked confusedly.
Both of Darian's parents turned to hear the sound of someone falling. How shocked they were when they saw his favorite son-in-law was already on the floor. Mama and Papa Darian panicked and quickly ran over to the fainted Kinanti. Not only the three of them, some of the waiters of the restaurant also seemed to run to help and some guests looked on out of curiosity.
"Pa, why do you want to? Let's get him to the doctor now, Pa." Pinta Mama Darian panicked.
"Mas, can you please help me get my daughter-in-law to the car?" Ask the father-in-law for help from the waiter.
But Darian swiftly lifted Kinanti's body alone. Darian who is large and twice the size of Kinanti can certainly easily carry the woman in one go.
"No need, Pa. Let Ian." Said Darian briefly while holding Kinanti into the car.
The three men ran in their fancy clothes towards the two sedans parked in the restaurant. Both Darian and his parents deftly drove the four-wheeled engine they drove. Speed across the congested streets of Jakarta.
Within 15 minutes, they reached the hospital. The sisters and the doctor quickly and responsibly examined Kinanti. Both of Darian's parents waited in the waiting room nervously. They wonder what happened to her daughter-in-law? Why did Kinanti suddenly faint for no reason?
While Darian? Darian was busy calling Hanna. Ask permission to his girlfriend if he can't come home soon tonight. Seduce that the lover does not sulk and cancel giving Darian rations.
A doctor came out of the room where Kinanti was being treated. Mama and Papa Darian stood up and ran to the doctor. They guessed what pain his daughter-in-law suffered? Even if Kinanti was sick, why did she hide it from her parents-in-law?
"If I may know, what do you and your mother have in common with the patient?" Ask the doctor carefully.
"We're her in-laws, Doc." Answer Papa Darian.
"Is the patient's husband here with us, sir?" The doctor asked again.
Papa Darian looked for the figure of his son and called him to come closer. Darian hastily turns off her phone with Hanna and approaches her parents.
"What's up, Pa?" Darian asked confusedly.
"Is Father the husband of Ibu Kinanti?" Said the doctor.
Darian nodded. The doctor then invited the three of them into his room. It seems like there is something important to talk about regarding Kinanti.
"So the condition of Bu Kinanti is very weak because his physique is not too fit. Besides, it seems that Ms. Kinanti is experiencing quite high stress." Obviously Doctor.
Mama Darian looked shocked. His son-in-law always looked healthy in front of him. And a stressor? Why can he be stressed when his life is adequate and comfortable? Mama Darian glanced at her son who seemed uninterested in listening to the doctor's explanation.
"But I have good news for your family." Said the doctor.
Papa and Mama Darian who initially seemed worried suddenly like electric shock jolts. Looks like the doctor will bring good news to them. Papa and Mama Darian looked at each other sharing a gesture.
"What good news, Doc?"
The doctor smiled wryly. His hand thrust out a lab examination with the name of Kinanti on it.
"Congratulations, Father and Mother. My mother is currently pregnant."
