Galang looking for the right time to introduce his future wife to his family.
Today he will visit his father's house, and express his good intentions to immediately marry his idol.
"Galun, Papa is glad you stopped by the house. Come here often. Bring your sister here, too."
"It looks like Rocky's been busy, Pa. He's on a project Sania gave him."
"Sania?! Sania Rocky's ex-lover?" Elena joined as soon as she heard the name of her son's former lover.
"Yes, Ma."
"Isn't he married? Are they back close?"
"They're just friends. Oh yes, Galang's arrival here is because Galang wants to introduce you to Galang's future wife."
"What?! Wife-to-be?!" Leonard and Elena were shocked together.
"Papa never heard of you being close to any girl, why do you suddenly want to get married?"
"I've known him for two years. And I think two years is enough for me to step into marriage."
"Oh yeah? Which girl from the family will be your future wife? Or maybe your Papa's acquaintance's child?" Elena was suddenly excited.
"No, Ma. She's just an ordinary girl. And she already has one child."
"What?! Have you gone crazy? You want to marry a widow?" Elena's getting cynical.
"I love him and his son. I have no problem with his status. So, I beg of you to also be able to accept it with open arms."
"Pa..." Elena looked at her husband who had not commented.
Galang looked at his father with anxious expectation.
"alright. Invite him to dinner at our house."
"Pa!!!" Elena tried to protest.
"There's nothing wrong if we know first what kind of woman Galang's choice." Leonard.
Galang smiled relieved to hear his Papa agreeing with Visha's relationship.
...***...
"Hello, Rocky..."
"What's up, brother?"
"Come to dinner tonight."
"Main house?"
"Yes. Papa invited us there. There's something Papa wants to talk about."
"Ah, I'm lazy, brother. At most Papa will just discuss my business and bring me down."
"No! Don't be so bad to think. Brother beg you to come."
"Yes-yes, all right."
The phone call ended. Galang smiled grinning.

"Tonight, Mum?"
"Yes. We're gonna go see Papa and Mama."
"But..."
"Nav. It's time we met them. I'm sure they'll accept you. I talked to Papa, and he agreed with me whatever I wanted."
"But I don't have any good clothes to wear there." Visha is embarrassed.
"Oh, so that's your problem? Just chill. I'll get you some clothes ready. And I think you're still pretty despite wearing any outfit."
"Thank you, Mum."

That night at Abraham's house,
Galang and Visha came early because they had to give a good first impression to the Galang family.
Visha kept her breathing when she arrived at the Galang family home. She wears a long-sleeved maroon-colored dress. Her long hair she let loose freely and featured a feminine side. His face is just natural makeup to impress not excessive.
Galang grabbed Visha's hand and took her inside the house. The two of them were greeted by Bi Iroh with a wide smile.
"Mas Galang's... So this is the candidate?"
"Yes, Bi. Meet me, this is Navisha. Nav, this is Bi Iroh. He's been taking care of me since I was a kid."
"Greetings, Bi." Visha shook Bi Iroh's hand.
"The task will soon be replaced by Visha's mother."
"Auntie could." Visha downcast shy.
"Let's go in! The ladies and gentlemen are waiting." Bi Iroh drove the two of them in.
Leonard and Elena were sitting in the living room. They stood up when they saw Galang and Visha coming in.
"Groof!" Leonard greeted his son and hugged him.
Elena looked at Visha from head to toe.
"Yes, Ma. Her name is Navisha."
Visha immediately greeted Elena and kissed the back of her hand. Then move on to Leonard.
"Beautiful, anyway" said Elena flat.
Soon another person came and headed to the living room.
"Rocky!!!" Elena immediately hugged Rocky.
"Mama! Don't overdo it." Rocky took off his mother's arms. "It looks like there's a guest."
"Yes, Galang brought his future wife" explained Elena.
Rocky widens his eyes to see Visha there with Galang. Visha did not dare to return Rocky's gaze and averted her eyes.
"Because everyone has gathered, let's have dinner first" Leonard said.
The dinner was solemn. No one spoke during the meal. Only the sound of clanking plates and spoons filled the room.
"Mom cook your favorite food, Rocky. Eaten ya!" Elena said she took a few pieces of snapper meat and gave them to Rocky's plate.
"Yes, Ma. Thank you." Thank you."
Sometimes Rocky's eyes stared at Visha who kept silent while eating her food.
After dinner, they return to the family room with a cup of tea as they chat.
"So, when are you planning on getting married?" Leonard's question managed to get Galang and Visha to throw one another a glance, and Rocky rounded his eyes perfectly.
"Umm, I haven't set a date yet. But, I want to marry Visha soon" Galang replied.
"Are you sure?" Ask Elena.
"Related, Ma. Galang loves Visha."
"You've been married, haven't you, Visha?" ask Elena again.
"Eh?"
"Ma, don't ask the past. Forgive my wife yes."
"Ah, yes. It's okay" replied Visha with a smile.
"Then you, Rocky! When are you getting married? Don't keep playing with obscure women."
"Pa... Why talk like that? Rocky never came to the club again." Elena defended Rocky.
"I'm still waiting for someone..." Rocky's words surprised everyone there.
"Rocky?" Elena looked at her son seriously.
"What's wrong with you guys? There's no harm in waiting?"
"What are you waiting for, Rocky?" ask Leonard.
"I'm waiting for him to realize his feelings..."
DEG. Visha felt that the sentence was meant for her. She squeezed the dress.
Why would Rocky talk like that in front of his family? Inner Visha.
"If waiting is the best thing for you, then do it" Leonard said.
"Thank you, Pa."
...***...
On the way to her house, Visha kept silent. Galang occasionally glanced towards the woman sitting beside him.
"Hows it? They're taking you, aren't they?"
"Eh? Ah, yes. I didn't expect. Your father was a very wise man."
"Papa is so. Always be firm with us."
"His charisma is dropping on you."
"really?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"When are we getting married?"
"Did?"
"We're looking for a good day and date."
"................"
"Why? You still not ready?"
"Bu-not that, Mom."
"It's okay. Let's just do it slowly." Galang grabbed Visha's hand and grabbed her.
Visha is worried now. He can't run anymore. Galang loved him very much. And his son needs a father figure like Galang.
How do you feel about Rocky? Should he forget for the sake of his son's happiness?
