Asking Witri to come to this country? Is it possible he'll want to? Is it possible that he will not reason this just to reject his desire subtly?
"Try me first. Woo her. If he loves, he will want to, just leave anyway." Kyu cheered while glancing. Jiwo smiled faintly.
Yes, there is no way he will have the heart to ask Witri to come at his own expense. What kind of man would that be like him who has ideas and desires?
"Yes, later I will try to talk about it with him" said Jiwo finally, trying to strengthen and resolve himself.
"Had to succeed. I also want to know my sister-in-law's candidate." said Esti from behind.
"Heiisss..rasah melu-melu talking (no need to follow the talk)." said Jiwo with his face in the bend. Esti reciprocated by pursing her two thin lips until they were like duck lips, making Kyu laugh anxiously at her.
"Your lips are so funny, baby" said Kyu, unable to say a word of praise. Makes Jiwo again snort and Esti again blushed in shame.
"Darling again...Bizarre." muttered Jiwo annoyed.
"Dad? Tell Boss." ledek Esti while chuckling over teased Kyu's increasingly annoying laughter Jiwo.
"Heh you, go home! Go home!" drive Jiwo away while pushing Kyu's tall body out of his apartment. The one who was kicked out only a nosy laugh mocked him.
"Let me pick up at seven in the evening" Kyu said as he waited for the elevator to open for him.
"No need. We will leave alone. You will bother later if you have to pick us up too. Just tell me where to go." Jiwo refused.
"No! This is one way we welcome guests from afar. It won't be troublesome at all. Just make sure my future wife looks impressive tonight." Kyu sniffed. Of course it's a joke. Because no matter what Esti looks like, Kyu is sure the girl will still look beautiful.
Jiwo back clucking. Why does it feel so annoying like this is dealing with people who are happy because they are in a romantic hangover?
Is it true that Esti said earlier that she was actually suffering from envious feelings?
Astagfirullahaladzim apos....
"Alright...lah well." said Jiwo finally chose to obey.
And as promised by Kyu earlier, the man has reappeared in front of Jiwo's apartment with a look that looks more handsome than the usual good looks.
Even with Jiwo and Esti who that night wore batik cloth deliberately brought Esti from the homeland.
Jiwo looks cool with a modern Cirebonan pattern batik shirt suit short sleeves and fabric pants. While Esti looks cute with a simple and simple batik game. In accordance with the daily character of Esti that is not jaim and warm.
Dinner this time was deliberately done at the Kyu family home. It was attended by the Kyu nuclear family only. There will only be Kyu, his one younger sister, his two parents, and Kyu's only surviving grandfather. And they've all been introduced by Kyu to Esti when they got their chance VC.
The word Kyu is just a simple dinner, so Jiwo and Esti wear semi-formal clothes to keep looking relaxed but still polite and respectful to the host.
"You're so pretty." Jiwo could still clearly hear Kyu praising his sister as the three of them walked to the front of the elevator. Jiwo deliberately walked in front of the two of them because he was lazy if he had to see the intimacy of the two beings who were kasmaran.
He even willingly brought a bag containing several pieces of batik clothes for all members of the Kyu family as Esti's hand for the later Kyu family.
Little stunned Jiwo looked at the car that Kyu was driving towards his house tonight. A European luxury sedan with the latest series.
"Your car?" jiwo asked as he looked at Kyu curiously.
"Not." chuckles Kyu shy. "My Papa. He said he had to bring the best car to pick up our special guest" Kyu said as he opened the door for Esti to sit in the back.
"I feel your family is too much to welcome us" Jiwo said.
"Never mind's. We will definitely do our best to assure you that we are sincere and sincere with our intentions" Kyu said with a serious smile and face.
"Then, thank you very much" Jiwo said as he patted Kyu's arm slowly, who was preparing to drive forward his car.
"Pronounce it later in front of my parents directly" Kyu said with a light laugh.
"That's for sure." said Jiwo with a smile.
Their half-hour journey was filled with questions from Esti about everything around them at the time. Until finally Kyu stopped his car in a parking lot in front of a hanok house that looks so big but looks so warm.
"We have arrived" said Kyu, looking back at Jiwo and then back, to Esti, who started to look angry.
No different from the feeling of Jiwo who immediately insecure see the look of the typical Korean house. Very traditional but can already look a touch of luxury.
What exactly is the Kyu family?
At that time Kyu said his father was a businessman, continuing the business of several retail stores and laundry services that are inherited from the parents of the Kyu papa.
While Kyu himself Jiwo has not long known that has a fairly large cleaning service business and also recently accepted as a lecturer.
Kyu who saw the aura of anxiety in the gesture of the two special guests of his family tried to keep showing his casual attitude, hoping that the two brothers would contract his relaxed attitude. He also hopes that the warm attitude of his family will be able to melt the stiffness of the attitude of the two who just appeared.
"Koyone is really good Yo, Mom? (do you think it's rich, huh?)" whispered Esti while walking following Kyu's steps while holding Jiwo's arm with a groggy taste.
"Ho o.(yes)".Jiwo answered briefly his eyes along the front garden area that is not too broad but very slick and beautiful arranged decorated with various flower plants that look very well maintained.
The hearts of both of them were racing as faintly heard the conversations of some people with language that only a small part was understood by Jiwo. It seemed like the Kyu family had already gathered to wait for them.
"Assalamualaikum.." greet Kyu to inform the arrival of their guests.
And the gurgles on Esti's chest grew as one look after another from the Kyu family members gazed towards her and Jiwo's arrival.
"Wa' alaikumsalam." The answer came from the mouth of a young girl with a soft purple hijab at the age of Esti. She is Aera, Kyu's younger sister who Kyu had also introduced to Esti when they were VCs. Even several times the two have exchanged short messages on social media.
"Hi Esti.welcome to the country Oppa - Oppa." greet Aera cheerfully as she quickly hugged Esti who still seemed a little misbehaved. His eyes twitched as he stared timidly from behind Aera's shoulders at the three parents who were looking at him with happy smiles.
Jiwo already saluted the three elders while introducing himself. Soon after, Esti followed her brother to greet the parents of the Kyu family.
Tonight they all felt lucky to speak English. Somehow crisp their meeting that night if they use their respective languages that are clearly not well understood by their interlocutors.
Fortunately they all speak English which makes the dinner like an international dinner because it is really English that they use as a communication tool.
Esti looks very happy because the food served can resolve her curiosity in traditional Korean food. Kyu's mother turned out to have a traditional cooking shop not far from their home.
And the event of opening the hands that Esti brought was a very exciting time for them at that time.
Esti eloquently explained the kinds of batik motifs in the clothes she carried. Jiwo himself was astonished by Esti's ability to talk about batik.
"Mama and Papa have been to Indonesia once. To Bali. So have not been able to meet beautiful batik-batik clothes like this. Fortunately tomorrow we will have a chance to go to Java. You have to promise to take us to Cirebon, to Madura, to Pekalongan, also to Jogja" Mama Kyu said as she looked at Esti expectantly.
Kyu laughed hearing that.
"Our main objective to Jogja is, Ma. It's the town where Esti's family lives. Don't forget." said Kyu who made the mother blush in embarrassment.
"And Madura, it separated the island from the island of Java where Jogja is located. Cirebon and Pekalongan are in different provinces on the island of Java." explains Kyu so that his mother can imagine how long they have to prepare if they want to get to the place of his dreams.
"We can be there for a month if necessary." said Aera eagerly, compact with her mother who wants to go to the city of the owner of the beautiful batik-batik.
"Your job?" ask Kyu cut quickly.
"That's how it looks" Aera said casually.
"Are you going to leave your grandfather at home?" asked Grandpa Kyu while looking at them with a mashy face.
"Of course not, Grandpa."" said Esti then shuffled quickly to the side of Grandpa Kyu.
"Even grandfather must be in the group to Indonesia later. Esti will be very happy if grandfather will be present there" said Esti sincerely hopeful.
There is relief that clearly emanated from the wrinkled face that still looks the rest of his good looks.
"Of course I'll get there. My only grandson is getting married. Of course I have to be around him" Kyu's grandfather said cheerfully.
"Make sure you keep your diet, Pa." Papa Kyu led him to his father.
"of course. I have always taken care of my health all this time. You who should be ashamed because you still like to argue that you are given healthy food by your wife." ridiculed grandfather Kyu who made the one who was there to hold a smile.
One that Jiwo could see right now. Unmade family warmth and also openness.
The rich Kyu family is a warm and unpretentious family.
And he felt that it would not be wrong for him to let go of Esti to become a member of the Kyu family. And later had a new name with the surname Jeong behind the name given his parents.
May everything be done for the happiness of his little brother.
And after tonight Jiwo promised to fight harder to approach happiness for himself.
