JUST HUG ME FOR A SECOND

CORNERED

A few days later, Nindi invites Rima to meet. He wanted to talk about the matchmaking of Dance and Evan. He was afraid when others first.

"Come, Ri. After I thought there was a point too, make a match for Dance with Evan as soon as possible. The dance is now 26 years old, Evan is 27. Yeah, I thought, they're supposed to be married. So if Evan is not ready, the fiancee used to just bind them so that their introductions process is not disturbed by other people. I agree, Ri. But Evan's not forced either. If he doesn't want to. I don't want Evan to take cerein Tari when they're married" said Nindi a bit worried.

"Haha ... You must be scared because of the accident. Evan's been asked a lot of questions, huh? Just calm down you. I still choose Dance. But then Aida called me nanyain Evan. You know it's not Aida the owner of the property business selling the apartment. She also has a daughter who now works at the finance ministry. He asked me to find Evan's wife! I replied, wait for Evanya to be ready first," Rima's story made Nindi even more worried.

"Yes already that, accelerate their engagement," said Nindi began to be impatient.

"But you give me a chance to talk to Evan first, yeah! The child cannot be forced. We have to play smart if we want to talk to him," said Rima, Nindi also agreed.

"Tomorrow you'll have dinner at my house, yeah. Try talking to Evan slowly. If I go to your house, he won't. So you're the family that went home. Let him not feel good for nolak, what else he is good. He won't leave the dinner table if he eats again. So it's a good opportunity to talk about this with him. Moreover, he will already know Tari, he will not dare to refuse Dance in front of us all," said Rima gave an idea. Nindi agrees.

The twitch of the afternoon at Rima's house can't wait for Evan to come home. He kept looking at the clock. Still at 4 pm, Evan will usually arrive home at 5 or 6 pm or Magrib. He keeps preparing Evan's favorite menu. Evan likes chicken calio the most. After 5 o'clock. There was a car coming, Rima immediately ran out. It turned out that her husband was coming home. Rima immediately welcomed her husband's return, she greeted her husband and brought him her husband's bag. Not long followed by Evan who also just came home. Rima turned to Evan's car, and he waited until Evan got out.

Not long after Evan came out, he saw his mother who seemed to be waiting for him, because his father had entered but his mother was seen still standing outside.

"Mi?!" greet Evan while locking his car.

"You just got home too, Van?!" sapa Rima is friendly. Evan just smiled and walked over to his mother. They went in together. Rima looked clumsy as he was looking for a gap to set his strategy.

"Mommy cooked your favorite. Chicken calio. So tonight you don't go anywhere for dinner at home, yeah!" rima is a bit groggy. Evan looked at his mother, his instincts telling him that his mother was planning something. Before Evan knows everything, he would rather leave Evan.

...***...

Arriving in the room, Evan immediately took a bath and finished he immediately fell down for a while just reducing his fatigue in the room. Evan opened his phone. Surfing on social media.

Bored, he opened his phone folder. Tucked a secret folder inside. A folder containing photos of Aluna with him, still neatly stored there. Evan deliberately kept in a hidden place so as not to be known by others.

Evan smiled at each of the portraits, which looked so happy at the time. He continued to pay attention to her with his longing feelings for Aluna. His mind kept thinking about Aluna's figure, how she smiled, she spoke, his mannerisms, and his style while being upset. Tucked into a portrait when Aluna was pregnant, the look on Evan's face immediately turned sad. He was instantly fixated, his mind returning to those memories again.

Suddenly the door to his room knocked on someone and his mother came in.

"Vans. You pack neat clothes, we have dinner with mas Tama, his wife. Mami invited them to eat with us," said Rima who still hid the arrival of the family Dance. Evan nodded in understanding. He immediately changed his clothes with a shirt and trousers.

***

That night Evan, his father, and mother were ready to wait for Tama and his wife in the living room. Now Tama and his wife have kept their own home since they got married. So at home there is only Evan himself who still lives with his parents.

Not long after coming with his wife. They welcomed him with joy. Before dinner, they chat in the living room.

Rima deliberately stalling for time to wait for the arrival of the Dance family. Evan, who had been starving, continued to code his mother for dinner. But her mother always answered wait a minute.

It didn't sound like anything new came... That's family dance. Rima and her father immediately welcomed her arrival. Evan begins to feel bad, because his mother suddenly invites Tari, even though she tries to hide her feelings. Dance looks very happy, her sister came, dad Dance looks like a classy man like a successful businessman. Her mother looks good tonight.

Seeing the neat look of everyone, of course this has been planned. Evan feels trapped here. But he couldn't do anything because he couldn't possibly act in front of this many people. What else there is Tama and his wife, it will make Tama's wife think badly about her family.

"This is your boy Vishnu?!" ask dad Dance.

"Yes, this is Evan" Vishnu replied with a proud smile, while Evan only smiled thinly with compulsion just a small talk.

"Where's work now, Van?!" ask dad Dance.

"In the Brahmin Company, um," answered Evan politely.

"Well, that big company! So are you there?!" ask dad Dance again.

"The branch director, om,"

"But if Richard comes out again, he takes Richard's place" Vishnu added with a sparkling expression and looked proud.

Make dad dance wildly in disbelief.

"Gee. Great you could be the vice of that fierce man? We're fellow businessmen if there's Mr. Richard, it must be on diem. Because if there is him, we must all be afraid. He has a strong charisma. So everyone is disinclined by him, what else he is the king of reliable business. All he holds. Hotels, restaurants, PTs, and resorts in Bali are also many in the name of his shares," explained Tari's father.

"Heh. You know what not? Evan is mentored by Richard directly. Maybe because his business is very big, a bit overwhelmed as well as him. So he asked Evan to hold onto his company. But he wants to guide first he said. Now it is still the branch director Evan," explained Vishnu who is unceasingly proud of Evan.

"Your orders don't want to work at your dad's company, yeah! Already got a better place turned out" praised Dari's father again with a proud smile.

"Tuh, Van. Wait what else? Mapan already, age is also enough, now you just think about who takes care of the house again. Let's go home from work there are waiting, if you want to eat there are masakin. Like your sister Tama, tuh," shoot Tari's mother. Evan began to catch a strange gurgle from the direction of this conversation.

"Yes, Evan. It's difficult to be invited to talk to a companion," cried Tama. Evan immediately stared intently at Tama. He suddenly felt that he was now being cornered by everyone.

"Not ready yet, Auntie. Then first, lah. Let's focus on cooperation first," said Evan still trying to calm down and keep everyone's feelings with a rigid smile.

"You are not ready for marriage. Just fiancee first. There's Dance, tuh. Beautiful, independent, painstaking again taking care of the household. If you can just try acquaintance first," said Rima added. Dancing just smiled shyly beside Evan. Evan looked at Dari suspiciously.

Evan began to dislike this topic of conversation. But he can't leave. There's a lot of people here. So he just kept quiet, with a cold smile. Rima begins to catch the unpleasant guts from Evan.

On the other hand Aluna is making Dea and Silvi as a tester of his cuisine. This time Aluna really hopes the cuisine does not fail again. He waited expectantly from his cooking. Two dishes of hot fried rice were already served in front of Dea and Silvi.

"Where?" tanya Aluna seemed impatient waiting for the response of these two friends over his cooking.

"Hmmm... It was delicious, Lun," Silvi exclaimed with a smile as she gave her thumbs up. Now how does Dea react. A very fussy-seplos.

"Lumayan. Than the first one. It was like poison. Want to die if nyampe throat. If this one has been quiet," Dea's comment made Aluna exclaim with pleasure And Silvi breathed a sigh of relief. It feels like Silvi's heart will be dislodged while waiting for Dea's answer. He was afraid that the ceplas-ceplos of Dea would make Aluna go berserk again.

"Feel you good, Lun. But, yes it is. Do you believe Evan will ma..," Dea's speech was cut when Silvi immediately silenced Dea's mouth for fear that Dea would again throw tantrums with strange comments.

"Udah, Lun. Enough of our comments. This one does not need to be horrified again," Silvi's timpal still silenced Dea's mouth with Dea who continued to rebel to escape. While Aluna just grunted her breath rough with the behavior of Dea and Silvi.

SERIATE...
