After the usual dinner ended, Kenneth's parents invited me to sit back in the living room. And success makes me have a no-no mind. I'm worried that after this there will be painful conversations like the ones that have happened before. For example, about those who are not happy about my closeness to their son?
maybe
My experience in the Maheswara family was the greatest lesson of my life.
Kenneth took his place leisurely on my right side. While aunt Kirana was on my left side, but there was an empty space, unlike me and Kenneth who were side by side. Then om Damar sat dashingly on a single sofa on the left side of his wife.
"Tante's heard stories about your parents, Ra,"
The first sentence that Aunt Kirana said made me look at her. Ah apparently Ken has told my family to his parents. Okay, is it time for me to get anxious?
"Tante is sorry for what happened to your mother" he continued. "And also your father." There was a pause from the beautiful woman. "Although Aunt is not very familiar with your mother, but Auntie knows her. Widia's mom is her best friend. But Aunty quite often met with mbak Nadhifa while she was playing at the house of Auntie with mbak Widia.
I'm trying to smile. "The world is this narrow, yes" I said.
"True." the woman returned my smile. "And after hearing the news that happened to your mother ... Aunt is sad. Patience, dear."
Oh I see sincerity in the eyes of aunty Kirana. I hope my guess is true.
"Thank you, Auntie."
"You made it through yourself, it's something no one ever imagined, Ra. You're so strong, you know."
I don't know what to answer. To be honest, I am currently thinking about my mother again.
I never thought that Aunt Kirana had now brought me into her arms. A warm embrace full of sympathy.
"A girl who grew up patiently through her life experiences, is a good mother in the future, Ra." she let go of her arms and looked at me. "Watch a Aunt as your mom's replacement."
Ha's?
This gentle woman only knew me last night, but why was she so easy to be nice to me? What did Kenneth tell his mother?
I smiled awkwardly in response.
"Azzura!"
I turned to the call of the dashing man who looked handsome at his age. It is the result of his legacy is the right line that is now carved clearly in the face of Kenneth, the son.
Om Damar does not smile easily. I concluded that the man had a firm and calm nature and was also a little stiff. Highly inversely proportional to the crybaby, petty and spoiled Kenneth. I don't know why my brain directly connects that, Kenneth is more suitable to be a child om Mandala, while Reiki is right when being a child om Damar.
My magic thinking.
"You want to work at Om's?" maybe om Damar looks stiff, but I catch his good intentions to me. The offer surprised me enough. And it turns out I wasn't the one who was surprised.
"Well, Papah? How is that the talk?" kenneth's protest doesn't like it. "Kan Rara is working with me. What the hell is it?"
"But it's only temporary, won't you say at the beginning?"
"Yes yes–"
"You're saying, Azzura while waiting to get a job call so willing to replace Maya as your assistant? Right?"
"Y-yeah, we haven't got it yet, Pah ..."
"Well now he's got an offer from Papah. So, it's up to Azzura, Ken."
Ken looked at me while shaking his head. "Don't accept, Ra. Plis .. Anyway you keep working near me. I want you to be wherever I am. Yea? Yea? Yea?"
"Ken," aunty Kirana interrupted. "Let Rara decide what she wants."
I'm getting confused. It's too sudden, isn't it?! It hasn't been in my shadow at all since coming here. I thought the conversation would be about my relationship with Kenneth. Or something similar, for example, should I keep my distance from their child or others. Not something about work.
This sounds pretty good I guess.
"Don't want to, Ra! Gusuf ..." Kenneth kept begging me. His face that already looked cute looked even more cute, because he was whining to me.
"You think about it first, Ra," Om Damar said again. "Because Ken says you're waiting for a work call, Om intends to try to help you get accepted to Om's place. That's if you agree."
"Yes, Ra. You're young, of course you still have a lot of dreams you want to achieve, right?" added aunt Kirana. "Om Sama Aunty sincerely wants to help you achieve your goals. Whatever it is. That's why you don't have to worry. Your own smile. Because we also do not intend to. Up yours. Would you rather be Ken's baby sitter?"
"Ma, Rara's dream is me. Don't make Rara fly away from me, dong– what? baby sitter's? why would Mama say that?" exclaim Ken.
And I want to stuff his mouth with a lot of tissue. Because what? because he just yelled near my ear.
"It's precisely because Mama can't bear to see this skinny Rara must take care of a lot of your activities for sure, right?! not to mention your extraordinary spoiled nature. Are you the heart?"
Kenneth looked at me. His hand clasped my hand and said with a face full of worry. "Yes, Ra. It turns out you are this cute. My schedule is mostly? hm? you tired? tired of? wanna rest? why didn't you tell me?"
I couldn't speak because of Kenneth's uninterrupted fad. "A-aku–"
"Mama understands, Ken," aunty Kirana tells her son. "You guys look good and interested in each other" I wanted to deny, but I couldn't. "... yes, Mama understands. But you should also be able to appreciate and support Rara's wishes in the present and future–"
"Rara's future is me, Ma" Kenneth said.
Kenneth this makes me feel bad. His behavior seemed to mean that he and I had a special relationship. Okay, maybe both of his parents ate their son's gimmick at me at the party last night. But, right, it's just a setting ... which .... which ... turns out to be real from one side?
I don't know.
"Yes, Om. I want to," my answer made Kenneth hysterical.
"Nooooooo! Rara, noooooo! Why are you the same with me? Why are you so–"
"Udah, Rara, you don't have to listen to Ken for now." aunt Kirana patted my shoulder gently with her winning smile. He implied to ignore the ramblings of his son that the King drama was. Ken is an actor too!
"When can you come to Om's office?" ask about Damar. "What if tomorrow, can it?"
"Can, Om."
"Rara, tomorrow I'm shooting the commercial in Bogor. You must come with me!" Kenneth already looks more and more bete and he sulks.
"Sorry, Ken–"
"No, Ra–"
"Ken! Enough's enough!" his papa was firm. Inevitably Ken was silent as well but with a frown. "Don't force your will while your woman doesn't like it. You may be cut off later. Wanna?"
Kenneth shook his head loudly.
Don't we?! Om Damar and aunt Kirana must have thought and thought I was really dating her son.
Oh my goodness ... It's getting more complicated.
I even forgot my original intention today, what it was, because of that annoying Ken.
Plus, now I'm accepting an offer to work at Ken's papa's office. Oh, I stepped wrong. Instead of staying away, I just kept getting stuck around the conglomerate.
"Tomorrow to bring your application file at 8 o'clock. Later Ken will tell Om's office address."
Ken just moved his lips in annoyance. Because what happened was not what he wanted.
"Yes, Om."
