" Food prep in the stirring and when to eat?" Father saw Pram stirring his meal and did not feed a spoon reprimanding Pram.
"Oh yes sir." Pram answered nervously, Pram immediately ate the food on his plate.
"So how? Papah wants to immediately have a grandson Tikah, you're the only son of papah. When are you ready to get married?" Ask Papah Atikah suddenly
Uhuk...
Pram and Atikah cough together.
"Father..." Atikah is really embarrassed.
"You know each other first, if we feel fit the parents will be very happy. But if you don't want to, we won't force it. You guys are gonna go through, we're just directing." Advice from Mr. Pram.
"Today you go to the city together, papah want to buy clothes for the retirement association tomorrow Tikah." Papah Atikah. They want to bring Atikah and Pram closer.
"Don't Miss Pram deliver Atikah?" Ask mamah Atikah.
"But pah, Tikah can bring his own car. I'm afraid Pram is busy." Atikah finally opened her voice after silence from earlier.
"Son Pram's busy?" Ask Mamah Atikah.
"No Aunty, today Pram is off. Later that night just get back to Battalion." Answer Pram.
Actually, they were both hesitant between wanting but also embarrassed. They have never met for more than 15 years.
"Yes there, this is the car keys Papah and Mamah waiting here, Tikah. We miss talking to Bude and Pakde." Papah Atikah hands the key to Pram and tells them both to leave.
Pram turned to Atikah for approval.
"Hmm okay the mat is leaving." Atikah knew that he could not dispute his Papa's will.
"I'm sorry, I'm troublesome Pram." Atikah smiled at Pram.
Mashaa Allah is sweet. Batin Pram's.
"Mass? Let's leave?" Atikah called Pram when he saw the man was dumbfounded.
"Oh yes sorry for Dek." Answer Pram while standing.
"Om, aunt, sir, buk Pram to go first." Pamit Pram on everything there is.
"Yes Pram be careful" they answered almost simultaneously.
The tram to the car followed by Atikah. Pram unlocks the car and enters it followed by Atikah in front.
Although awkward but Atikah knows ethics, he must sit in front so that Pram is not considered a driver.
Pram starts his car and gets out of the yard Pram drives Atikah's car to the highway.
"Where are we going Dek?" Ask Pram to Atikah.
"I have not memorized this city mas, but Papah asked us to buy clothes if ga shirt yes batik for a retirement association event in his office first. Mas Pram probably knows better?" Answer Atikah politely. As a teacher he soon mastered his feelings. I don't want to sound nervous.
"Want to be in the shop or at the mall?" Ask Pram again.
" It's up to you, it's good how I'm going." Answer Atikah again.
"Yes, we've just been to the mall for a lot of options." Finally, Pram decided.
They were silent on a long journey. Pram also confused Atikah want to start a conversation about what.
Usually Pram can always melt the atmosphere and quickly get along with new people. But there is a strange feeling when you are with Atikah. Feeling awkward and disinclined.
"How long has it been on campus?" Tanya Pram broke the silence. Finally he ventured to start a conversation.
"It was only three months ago, still adapting again to this city. Because it was a long time ago that we left this city and just returned. A lot has changed." Answer Atikah at length.
It turns out Atikah is not as arrogant as it seems. He was kind and polite even though he initially looked quite arrogant. Batin Pram's.
"Ah ingga mas, usual. I continued college was Papah's wish, because Atikah was his only child. So papah financed Tikah college. Mas Pram so the state servant must be cool huh? I like soldiers, they're not arrogant. Not using his office to scare the public into protecting." Atikah said at length.
Pram smiled turns out Atikah was chatty too.
"You can deck, that's not it. There are also irresponsible people. It's not work that makes us good, but ourselves." Answer Pram
"Yes, they all go back to their own person." Agree with Pram's opinion.
Without feeling they had a long conversation had arrived at the mall in the middle of the city.
"It's up to Deck, you just get down here let the car park to the basement." Reply Pram stopped his car at the lobby mall.
"Yes, thank you. Tikah tinggu here huh?" Answer Atikah and get out of his car immediately.
Pram parked his car in the nearest basement so it wasn't too far away on foot.
He returned to the place where he had left Atikah. The girl is still waiting there.
"Let's get the deck in." Take Pram.
Atikah soon followed Pram's steps and side by side.
" We're starting from this floor, yeah." Invite Pram to enter a boutique that sells men's clothing.
Atikah and Pram surround the boutique and look for clothes suitable for Papah Atikah wear.
"Mas seems like the clothes in mannequins are good for older people like papah. Let's see yuk!" Take Atikah to the mannequin displayed in the middle of the boutique.
Pram follows Atikah's steps towards the mannequin.
" Yes Dek, it's good to ask her to get this shirt." Pram replied after taking a close look at the clothes in the mannequin.
" Mom asked for the same clothes with this shirt, huh? All his pants." Pinta Pram at SPG who is in charge of waiting for the boutique.
"Okay sir, please wait a minute." SPG replies go by leaving them both to pick up the things they want.
"Will you buy something?" Ask Pram.
"With the Deck, this shirt is very rarely used." Pram replied, because indeed he never wore formal or semi-formal clothes.
"Ehm yes, yes, the work already has all the uniforms. Sorry to bother Pram." Atikah felt bad because Pram had to deliver Atikah to a city that was quite far from Pram's house.
"It's okay Deck, consider it a vacation." Answer Pram smile.
"Sorry sir, Mom waited a long time. Here's the shirt." SPG came back with clothes and pants that were still wrapped in plastic.
"Try to see the Deck! the size is right for you?" Pram asked Atikah to see the shirt because Atikah knew the size of their clothes.
After being felt fitting Pram wanted to pay for the shirt but was rejected by Atikah.
"Don't let the rats. I've been busy bringing Tikah here." Answer the Rat rejects the card that Pram will give to the cashier.
"It's okay Deck, this is it." Pram said forcing but Atikah still refused.
For Atikah it is not good to ask something to a man who is not her husband.
Pram and Atikah leave the boutique after getting what they were looking for.
"Dek we buy a drink first yuk while nyari snack there." Take Pram to a caffe in the mall.
They headed to the place to order the menu and chose some drinks and snacks.
After paying Pram and Atikah towards the prepared seats waiting for their order.
They were chatting suddenly a woman greeted Pram.
"What else is here? haven't seen you in a long time" said the girl.
