Hope Is You's
Three
Atika and Ian walked into the restaurant area where they were going to have dinner with Ian's parents, hand in hand.
They approached the middle-aged couple who were sitting gracefully in a chair located inside the vip restaurant room.
"night mi, pi" Ian first greeted the parents and kissed the woman's right cheek and hugged the man beside the woman
"dear night" the middle-aged woman replied while her husband simply answered Ian's greetings with a smile on his hand
"mi, pi, know this Atika" Ian gave the girl his hand, and Atika approached Ian's parents and shook and kissed the parents' hands alternately while saying his name
"beautiful. Come sit down" praised Mrs Andi. Diana Altar then again landed her butt in the seat behind her and Atika replied with a sweet smile and shamed cheeks
Not long after, two servants came in carrying some menus that had been ordered by Mr. Andi. Wihardi Altar-fire Ian - a few minutes before the arrival of Ian and Atika
"loh, haven't you ordered anything yet how the food came?" Ian was astonished by some of the menus had been neatly arranged by the waiter on the table they occupied
"the papi had a message before you arrived here so that the right food you come also has come, and more efficient time" replied papi Ian with a heavy and calm voice, and Ian just shook his head back to realize how papi this is very time-first
"but I don't know what Atika likes to eat" said Ian again
"Well, you don't like the food in front of you that ordered this?" his papi even turned the question to Atika who had been just silently staring at the interaction of people in front of him.
"eng not really om, su.suka k.kok" replied Atica nervously
The woman sitting in front of Atika smiled displaying a dimple on her left, sweet and displaying a slight fine wrinkle on the corner of her eye
"yes we've had dinner, we'll just start. Please Atika" prospective retired CEO of Altar Group was also starting their dinner
Their dinner went quietly without any conversation, there was only the sound of the clang of spoons and forks and Ian who occasionally offered some dishes in front of him to Atika
"so, Atika you just finished your S1?" mr. Wihardi first started to open his voice after the dinner was over
"iya om" replied Atika with a nod and a smile
"what studies?"
"Business management, um"
"lecture where? "
"STIM Lasharan Jaya, um"
"where to go to S2? "
It was silent for a moment before Atika answered Papi Ian's question
"engg for now I have not thought continued S2, om. I now focus more on finding work first, want to explore the world of work first so that my fathers can menggerasain my hard work before later dikunting people" obviously Atika with red cheeks met when saying the end of her sentence
Ian smiled meaningfully looking at his lover answering his papi question confidently
"where do you work, atika?" this time Ian's mom asked me a question
"Dad retired, aunt."
"where did you work before?" continue the middle-aged woman
"Pensioner father secretary lurah"
Papi and mami Ian muttered while nodding their heads in response to Atika's statement
❤❤❤
"gado-gado" replied Atika with her gaze fixed on the screen of her phone
"gado-gado kok? No mixed rice, all right?" Atika raised her head while chuckling looking at Ian
"i mean, I don't know what it's like to be sad, scared, embarrassed, just mixed it feels like to meet your parents" explained Atika then returned to focus on her phone
"Fearful? Embarrassed? Why?"
Atika put her phone in a bag and leaned her head against the window beside her
"when it comes to my instincts, it's like your parents won't give us our blessing"
Ian's forehead wrinkled, not understanding why Atika could think so
"you don't have to think macem-macem, we will definitely get their blessing and we will get married and have TiAn junior" Ian smiled sumringah when calling 'TiAn junior' aka Atika-Ian junior
"aamiin" Atika responded with an amused smile but was not covered she did hope it happened
"even if they don't give their blessing, I'll still marry you" continued Ian who made Atika momentarily straighten her seat and narrowed her eyes to look at Ian.
"surely? Can you afford to lose the throne of the Altar Group, facilities and more? "
"that's all I can find for myself as long as you're always around me. But losing you? I can find and get where the pugnacious Nisku is?" obviously Ian by pinning the minimalist Atika nose with the index and middle fingers bent, and Nis is Ian's affectionate call to Atika because Atika's middle name is Nisfah.
"ish hurts Hardian" complained Atika was singing her lips while rubbing her nose and making Ian chuckle
"oh yeah, we stopped by the minimarket ahead first well. Alana nitip toast, stock at home is over he said" Atika asked Ian to remember whatsapp message his sister had and answered with a nod by Ian.
Ian parked his car in the parking lot of a minimarket in red and yellow, Atika was out of the passenger door of the car that Ian was driving
"good evening, welcome to Alfimart" said a girl in a typical minimarket employee uniform - standing behind a cashier-screen monitor and smiling kindly.
Atika smiled back at the cashier's greeting and passed towards the shelf where various kinds of bread were displayed.
"you can't do your duty, price updates on the shelf just not becus, it was just one customer who complained how if there were five or more complaints?!" faintly Atika heard the heavy voice of someone - perhaps reprimanding his subordinates who were doing wrong - at the front close to Kassa.
Atika ignored the sound and then walked towards the back after taking 2 packets of bread, she then put butter, cheese slice her favorite, jam nenas favorite father and mother, he then put butter, and Alana's favorite peanut-brown jam in the basket she was carrying.
After feeling enough, Atika stepped towards kassa.
"this is mbak? " ask the cashier at Atika before scanning her groceries
"so that's the bread why are you scanning, fir?" Atika and the cashier in front of him simultaneously turned to the source of the voice, apparently this man whose voice was heard by Atika, who was angry, it should be scanned is my groceries. Inner Atika noticed the man who was not far from her and the cashier
The man approached and grabbed the loaf of bread and checked the packaging
"THE INFERNAL IS EXPIRED! " strictly the man
