The Aerospace Family Residence.
This morning I drove my own car. She takes Rania and her two children to meet her parents.
"Papa, what is this place?" Zoe asked as she looked up at the grand, grand, and luxurious residence of her grandparents like a royal palace.
"That's grandpa's and grandma's house, honey. Papa actually lives here as well, not in the villa" Kaaran replied. "Come on everyone, we're down."
The four of them got out of the car. His arrival had already been warmly welcomed by the dozens of servants in the mansion.
"Young Master, big master and big mistress are already waiting for you in the dining room. Let me take you." Mr. Harun, a middle-aged man who served as the butler in the mansion since Kaaran was born until now. That was about 35 years ago.
"Hem." Kaaran nodded. The four of them followed Aaron from behind. The four of them walked while holding hands. Zoe and Zack were in the middle while Kaaran and Rania were on the sidelines. But before they entered the dining room, Kaaran told her two children to wait outside first. They will be called in when the time comes.
"Dear, come on." Kaaran invites Rania to enter, but the girl looks very nervous when she wants to meet her future father-in-law.
Kaaran smiled. "Why? You're nervous, aren't you?"
Rania nodded. "Hem."
Kaaran held Rania's hand tightly. "Relax, there's me next to you."
Kaaran holding Rania's hand entered the dining room where Dirgantara's master and mistress were waiting for them there.
"Pa, Ma." Kaaran stopped her steps when she and Rania were already standing not far from her parents.
"Ekhem. You guys sit down." Mr. Dirgantara cleared his throat before starting to open his voice.
Meanwhile, Madam Dirgantara stared at her future daughter-in-law from head to toe since they started entering the room. Somehow her assessment of Rania, the middle-aged woman had not commented anything.
"Come, sweetie." Kaaran invites Rania to sit across the table from her parents.
"What's your name and how old are you?" Madam Dirgantara asked after Kaaran and Rania sat before them.
"My name is Rania, Madam. I'm 25 years old." Rania replied nervously, her hands have started shaking.
It was like meeting with a prospective in-law.
"Just relax, honey, don't be so nervous." Kaaran whispered while holding Rania's hand. He tried to calm his future wife.
"Rania, you and Kaaran are 10 years old. Do you really love my son and not because of his possessions?" Madam Dirgantara again asked Rania and with a probing look. No mother would be willing to make her child wrong in choosing a life partner.
Rania looked at Kaaran who was sitting beside her. I have to answer your mom's question? I don't love you. You know that, right?
Kaaran gave a small nod to Rania, as if asking the girl to agree to the question from her biological mother.
Rania looked back at the Madam Dirgantara. For the happiness of my two children, I must do my best.
"Yes, Madam. I sincerely love your son and not for treasure." Rania replied steadily making Kaaran raise the corner of her lips slightly.
"You said what was your name? Rania?" This time the Air Force spoke.
"Yes, Sir." Rania answered and nodded politely.
"What's your full name?" ask Mr. Aergantara again.
"Rania Blanco?" Mr. Dirgantara seemed to think for a moment. "Are you .. Rahadian Blanco's daughter?"
"Yes right, sir. I am her eldest daughter" replied Rania.
How can the Airgantara master know the father's name? Rania was a little curious.
The Airgantara master and mistress stared at each other, both of them looking to shake their heads slightly. I don't know what that means?
Kaaran and Rania also stared at each other. Is this a sign that they won't get their blessing?
...----------------...
At the time of returning from campus, Andre had indeed picked up Rina using his car. The young man took Rina to a cafe located not far from the campus. Andre said he had rented the cafe to celebrate his 21st birthday.
Arriving there, there were 4 friends of Andre who sat with their respective partners. They all arrived first and waited at the cafe.
"Well, Bro. I admit that you are very good, it turns out that you can really bring the prima donna of the campus to come with you here" chirped one of Andre's friends whom Rina knew her name was Dion.
Andre only responded to Dion's words with a smile, while holding Rina's hand walked over to his friends who were waiting for him and gathered at a long table.
Lina felt a little surprised as Andre clasped her hands. The girl did not expect Andre to be able to sassy it to her. He wanted to let go of his hand but Andre grasped it very tightly, making it difficult to escape.
Why do I feel like there's something strange about Andre's brother today? I don't think he's like usual. Rina murmured in her heart.
Andre treated Lina like a queen in front of his friends. After pulling up the chair to be occupied by Rina, Andre then sat down next to the girl. They sat so close that it made Lina feel uncomfortable. But the girl tried to be relaxed especially she knew very well that her senior brother had indeed long since put his heart to her.
"We'd better order some food now. I'm hungry" said Andre.
"As far as you are, Bro. This is your show" said one of Andre's friends again.
1 Hour later, one by one Andre's friends have started to go home with a stomach that has been filled. Now only Rina and Andre are both there.
"Sister Andre, I'm going home too." Lina said as she grabbed her bag that was on the table.
"I'll take you home, yeah" Andre bargained. Lina nodded and smiled.
"But finish this drink before we go home. Let the drink not go out." Andre pushed a glass of orange juice towards Rina.
"Hm." Rina just complied and downed the orange juice until it was gone.
Goody. Andre smiled with satisfaction when he saw Lina finish the drink.
"Come, Rin." Andre invites Rina to get out of the cafe.
"Yes, Brother." Lina walked side by side with Andre, but suddenly she felt her head was very dizzy.
"Oh, well, why is my head so dizzy?" Lina suddenly wrapped her hands around Andre's arm so that he wouldn't fall. His hand also held his head which felt very dizzy. Not long after, the girl remembered nothing else.
The medicine worked so fast. It's not wrong that I put the medicine at a higher dose. Andre smiled with satisfaction and carried the unconscious Rina into his car.
"Rin, don't blame me if I do something like this. I love you so much but you always refuse my love for no apparent reason." Andre kissed the back of Rina's hand and drove her car to her apartment.
It turned out that the love that clapped one hand had blinded the young man's eyes. He was willing to do anything as long as he could have the girl of his heart.
