I Love You, Mother Teacher
The Part 31
"Who, Yank?" raka asked in panic because suddenly the wife's face looked lethargic and sad.
"Daddy," Shofie replied briefly, enduring the frustration as well as disappointment.
"Daddy why, hmm? Don't freak me out, Yank!" raka's insistence began to get carried away with emotions because he knew, the in-laws would find a way to separate them.
"Daddy asked me to come to dinner with his business partner. He said he wanted to introduce me to the colleague's child" Shofie explained at last with tears about to drip.
Raka immediately pulled Shofie into her arms, then rubbed Shofie's back slowly. She knew right now, the wife needed a place to lean on and that place was her shoulder. Then, willingly he will hand it over.
"I'm fine. Go then! However, he is a parent that we must respect and obey as long as it is true" said Raka while clutched tightly the body of the halal lover.
The sound of a bell ringing in the classroom. Raka let go of his embrace, and they walked with distance, towards the classroom.
Nightfall....
Shofie was actually lazy to go to meet the father's invitation. However, Raka convinces him to attend. Her husband promised to take her and wait for her, so Shofie immediately agreed.
"What a beauty my wife is tonight. But what a pity, beautiful for other men is not my bolt," said Raka melo and got a punch on his arm. Shofie hit Raka's arm using her sling bag because she was upset with Raka's words earlier.
"Usa sneered! I'm on gini's orders too. You forgot, hmm?" Shofie is very anxious with her husband.
"Who's cheating, Yang? I noticed that my wife's face is getting more beautiful. Make me more crazy about you," said Raka as it is, the young man was already a slave to love.
"Buck!" Shofie's cheeks look flushed despite not wearing a blush.
"I'm really talking about being a tombal anyway?" Raka did not accept being said to be dreadful by his wife. He then tickled his wife's waist because he was annoyed called a dreadlocks.
"Hahaha.geez! Already," Shofie shouted with a laugh.
"Yeah, go!" take Raka with you after releasing Shofie.
"Who is invited, who is excited? Huuff!"
"Not to be questioned anymore. Now we're off. Afraid of daddy getting angry and think bad of me," said Raka while riding his motorcycle with a helmet neatly mounted on his head.
"Yes, yeah!" Shofie climbed on the motorbike and immediately embraced the husband's burly body.
Motor running at medium speed. Fifteen minutes later they arrived at the restaurant where the father was waiting.
"You go first, Yank. I'll catch up. Let daddy not know that you are coming with me" Raka orders and is taken in by Shofie.
Just a few steps away, Shofie stopped and turned to look at Raka.
"What's up, hmm?" asked Raka frowned in wonder.
"I'm scared...."
"Don't be afraid! I will always be with you and take care of you. Believe me!"
Finally, Shofie continued her footsteps entering the restaurant. The father was waiting inside with his business partner.
Shofie was very surprised, seeing the father was chatting with a former lover who was very much avoided. The woman recalled with Ditto's words this morning, that she was invited to dinner by her father.
Alex, who was aware of his daughter's presence, called.
"here, Honey! We've been waiting for you since, "call Alex to Shofie, so that makes Ditto and her father turn to look at Alex's waving hands.
"Shofie?" Ditto pretends to be surprised, but she already knows who Shofie really is.
"It turns out that the teacher who taught at my school was my son. It is an honor for me to get a qualified teacher like Mr. Alex's family" said Rohman Bagaskara, the owner of the Nuswantara Foundation.
Shofie is pulled by Alex and forced to sit next to Ditto. With constancy and resentment, Shofie complies. He did not want to make a fuss and humiliate the father and himself.
After Shofie sat down, their dinner menu came. They enjoyed dinner without a sound. When they finished, they continued their previous conversation.
"Son Shofie knows what this dinner means?" ask Mr. Rohman.
"I mean Father?" answer Shofie with a question.
"We intend to match Nak Shofie with my son, Anandito. Aren't you two lovers? You better get married, so as not to cause slander. Isn't that Mr Alex?" obviously Mr. Rohman with a fluffy smile.
Shofie tugged at her thin lips, as if in disbelief at her own hearing.
"Are you not told by my father, about my status?" shofie asked with her eyebrows raised next to her.
"Aren't you still single, as stated in the CV of the application letter you submitted at that time?"
"That was a few months ago, Mr. Rohman. My status had changed a month ago," Shofie replied calmly.
Alex's face was crimson red holding back anger and shame all at once. He did not expect that his son was too clingy.
"Daddy should have told them Shofie wasn't alone anymore. If Dady doesn't approve of our marriage, Daddy shouldn't have me with anyone else when I was somebody's wife" Shofie told his father with a stern look. Angry and disappointed have taken control of Shofie at this time.
"Daddy never felt married to you. So, Daddy always thinks you're not married, until Daddy himself gets you married" Alex said.
"Daddy doesn't know that Daddy can't be Shofie's guardian forever? Daddy's right to be Shofie's guardian was killed after Daddy decided to go back to Daddy's old beliefs" Shofie explained, to Ditto and her father's surprise.
Yes, Alex converted when she married Ary. However, after his children grew up he fell back on his beliefs again. Since then, their relationship has become strained. (For non-readers, sorry there is no intent to insult your religion or your beliefs. This is just an author delusion alone 🙏).
Raka approached Shofie who was crying silently, but enough to make her feel pain.
"I'll take you home, Miss," said Raka, holding Shofie's hand and taking her out of the restaurant.
"How dare you take my daughter away, I'll make sure your life is ruined!" alex shouted full of threats, so they became the center of attention.
