Grandpa's Choice Man

Restu Riza

"Sorrys. I thought Tiara was alone because the door wasn't locked either" Riza said awkwardly.

Riza even misbehaved himself holding the doorknob and wanted to close it again but canceled because everything had already happened too.

Tiara just lowered her head in a tremendous embarrassment. Didn't expect that intimate scene would be caught by her brother. He wanted to cry and run as far away as possible.

"It's okay, Za. Sorry if.." said Rama trying to behave normally like nothing happened.

"No. It's not okay. It's also my fault that I didn't knock on the door because I didn't know you were coming" said Riza nervously.

"Nothing," said Rama so confused himself.

"Oh yes. Mother send a message to get you down for dinner. Everything is ready" said Riza almost forgot the message that was the main purpose of coming there.

"Oh yes. Thank you, Za," said Rama.

"Emmm... Yes already. I went to my room to eat... Eh change clothes means," said Riza still very clumsy and mingled with adult scenes that he saw.

It's nothing, even though he had done it but if he caught his own sister would feel different. Between shame and want not to accept but Rama is Tiara's husband so legitimately do it. With this scene, he realized that Tiara and Rama really loved each other. There was no way her sister could do that if she didn't love her husband.

Long enough Riza was silent at the door so that Tiara and Rama were still pecking inside the room had not dared to go out to go to the dining room. The two of them were just confused looking at each other for a while, then both directed a glance at Riza who was still busy with her thoughts.

"Za, anything to say again?" rama asked to break Riza's daydream.

"Eh. Naw. Naw. Yes I have gone first," said Riza as she walked in the opposite direction to her room.

"Ehhh get there," added Riza turned around as she realized her mistake in the second step.

Rama and Tiara only looked at Riza in wonder. They did not have time to laugh even though Riza's expression was very funny when the wrong behavior was like that. They're still not feeling good about Riza.

"Doubt. Brother anyway. Why do you want weird, but do not lock the door. Where will my face be put!" accuse Tiara of fretting while covering her face with both hands.

"Oh means tomorrow-tomorrow can dong weird, but the door lock huh?" sahut Rama spirit.

"Duuh wrongly said. Forgetting that this Om-Om is acute," Tiara tipped the eel, then again said, "In times like this still had a perverted thought. Wonder!"

"Yes, how should I? Crying bombay? Escape to the moon? Not possible, right? Yes already. Just relax. After all masmu has grown up and he must understand because we are husband and wife," Rama's slap is relaxed inversely proportional to Tiara who until trembling all over the body.

"Current. Same with free. There is no solution. What is there makes more emotional. Dah ah's. Brother does not understand," cried Tiara while walking a la-ala nambek girl that her legs are somewhat slammed, do not know what the right term to call it.

"Eh. What would you like a solution to a problem like this, hey? Duh boy," said Rama trying to pursue his wife who returned sulking.

"Udah diem's. Brother is noisy," Tiara replied speeding up her pace.

...****************...

The atmosphere of eating was calm and tense, of course, the tension was only felt by Rama, Tiara, and Riza who had not dared to talk to each other. They are busy with food and thoughts. In fact, avoid eye contact with each other to anticipate misbehavior both times. Their appetite was suddenly lost as if the food in front of them felt bland so gripping the atmosphere that was being passed.

"Riza, Tiara, what are you doing? You guys usually talk too much?" asked Bu Lia who was aware of the awkwardness between them.

"It's okay, Bun. Again tired was a lot of work," answered Riza honestly, although it was not actually what made him silent because of course not funny if telling what he had seen.

"No, Ma. Tiara was just thinking about going back to Jakarta again" said Tiara, who surprised everyone at the dinner table until all eyes were on her, including Riza who had lowered her head.

Even Tiara herself was shocked that sentence could be thrown from her mouth without planning. Actually, that is not what you want to say but came out smoothly as if he had thought carefully. The girl cursed her careless lips, but her rectification was also certainly more embarrassing.

Rama coughed at the revelation of Tiara which they had not spoken of before. His arrival to Surabaya certainly only intended to visit his wife not to pick him up home together

In contrast to the response of Pak Adi, Pak Tirta, and Bu Lia, the three of them smiled while shaking their heads. They have different perceptions with Tiara's attitude and speech. Although they certainly still miss the Tiara togetherness but they understand that Tiara already has his own household. They are even happy to know that Tiara can not be far from Rama because it means that Rama is very caring and gives a sense of comfort to Tiara. A little sad but they began to get used to not worry because Tiara is sometimes not necessarily, whenever he wants to go straight home without a second thought.

"Oh so Rama came here to pick you up? He said he only visited because there was sulking," asked Mr. Tirta with a smile.

"Hehe," Tiara replied with a whimper as she was still inexhaustible with her mouth that could lose control.

"Yes, Rama's intention was only to visit, but it turns out Tiara asked to come home, Kek," added Rama was no less happy.

Tiara also stepped on the foot of Rama who sat beside him until the victim hissed almost jumped. Tiara glanced with annoyance because Rama made her more cornered until it was as if she did not want to part with Rama. Rama simply replied with a mean smile.

"Yes, Son. Go home. Want to be in Jakarta or Surabaya, all your houses. You can go home anywhere and anytime. The important thing is that wherever it is, you have to take care of your health and take care of yourself. Our prayers are always with you," said Ms. Lia very strongly.

"Ehh... Yes, Bun, Dad. You take care of your health too. Later also Tiara come home again really," said Tiara while squeezing his fork spoon because of the snarl with himself.

"Yes, Cah Ayu. When to go home? Tomorrow?" ask Miss Lia gnashy.

"Ep... It's up to you, brother," replied the clumsy Tiara herself.

"Tomorrow like that, Bun. Rama again a lot of work because and some can not be delegated to assistants. God willing, Rama will take Tiara again if he wants to go home," continued Rama triumphantly.

Tiara sneered more and more cynical to hear Rama who did not ask for his opinion first. He missteps her but all is already over. At least if tomorrow he returns to Jakarta, he does not have to fight with his mind when dealing with Riza.

While Riza looked at Tiara full of doubt. He realized the speech and attitude Tiara showed as being out of sync. The 25-year-old man also felt guilty in case Tiara asked to come home with Rama because it was so bad for him.

"Ra, why are you coming home so soon? Isn't your vacation still two weeks away?" tanya Riza started talking.

"Tiara has the same affairs of friends and indeed the SKS retrieval is scheduled early so Tiara has to go to campus," Tiara replied honestly, although it can actually be left to her friends but she was already wet.

"Oh yes," said Riza rather relieved to see the honesty in Tiara's speech and gaze but he still felt something was stuck.

After dinner, Rama said back to the room early because he got a call from Bayu who discussed about work. One by one family members also resigned to rest the body. Only Tiara and Riza remained at the dining table. They seem to want to talk to each other but still not until it is difficult to say.

"Ra, Mas wants to ask," said Riza felt she had to clarify her feelings in order to more calmly take off Tiara.

"You didn't want to go home because of that, did you?" asked Riza about the adult scene that was accidentally seen by her.

"No, Mas. Tiara has business. I'm sorry, Mas," replied Tiara lowered her head.

"What's the apology for? It's only natural that you are husband and wife too. Next time, be more careful. Thankfully I saw it. If anything else, don't bother" said Riza.

"Yes, Mas" said Tiara still not dare to show his face.

"Yes wherever you are, be more careful in any case. Not to be too sorry later on. Don't worry about the same, though. You are more experienced than you. Take it easy," persuaded Riza to calm her sister.

"Yes, Mas" Tiara continued.

"Do you really love Rama?" ask Riza seriously.

Tiara was silently weighing. He has not yet defined his feelings for Rama. However, answering her too honestly to Riza would also add a burden on her brother's mind.

"Yes. Tiara loves Brother," replied Tiara half-heartedly but her heart did not rebuff at all.

"Look at Mas and say it one more time," tell Riza more firmly.

Tiara lifted her face and slowly looked at Riza full of awkwardness. In contrast to Riza, he looked at Tiara solemnly and deeply.

"Bang Rama's love prince, Mas" Tiara repeated with hopeful eyes that Riza would not catch her doubts.

Riza's gaze turned sad and loving towards Tiara. Much was felt but could not be expressed in words. Can only try to believe what his sister said to calm the turmoil in the chest a little.

"Yes, there's all the process. Just enjoy. Marriage is a lifelong commitment. Do not be a burden because almost all humans will pass through it as well. If you can't, there's no harm in giving up. If it is love, keep it as you can. Although Mas has not married yet but Mas know the trials in the household that must exist and not just one two. But, from every difficulty, you will become stronger and your bond will become tighter. Mas must be very happy if Mas's sister is happy. So if it is heavy and can not tell a story with Rama or Mother's father, Mas's shoulders can still share the burden for you, Ra. Do not keep it yourself if there is anything. Mas do not want Mas's sister is okay," said Riza while giving advice for his only sister.

"Mas," said Tiara sadly as well as moved to hear the words of Riza who touched her heart.

Riza stood expressionless yet she was so eager to hug her sister. Without being told, Tiara immediately ran over and hugged Riza full of various flavors. Riza did not return Tiara's embrace but her gaze and silent attitude showed great affection.

"Mas Riza can't change to Tiara huh," pinta Tiara with her shoulder face.

"Yes. Don't be sad anymore" replied Riza not knowing what was felt because there was relief and tightness that was present at the same time.
