Love Alone

88. Meet Candidate-in-Law

Brandon deliberately booked a plane ticket to Kualanamu. He wants to see Gita's parents. His determination was already unanimous to apologize to them. During this time Gita seemed reluctant to forgive him so he wanted to apologize to his parents only.

Brandon doesn't know if Gita keeps all her problems a secret from her parents. Not only to his parents, to his close friends or to Ary, Gita never told a story. Gita's introverted personality, not easy to share stories with anyone. He preferred to pour his anxiety on the writing and do'a.

Arriving at Kualanamu airport, Brandon went directly to the Medan branch outlet. He'll ask the employee there Rendy's home address. Brandon has the address of Gita's parents from Rendy. When they started the business, Rendy was often sickly, so she gave her parents home address just in case something happened.

In the past, Brandon thought that the address was useless. Even about to throw it away, but after Gita went to college in Yogya he paused his intention.

In the afternoon, after work hours. Brandon is escorted by one of his employees to the woman's hometown which has made him feel like a madman. They travel by train because the address is not far from the train station.

Traveling for six hours, they finally reached their destination. It was still dark because it was still dawn.

Brandon went to the bathroom to clean himself as soon as he got off the train. The same thing was done by his employees who delivered him.

After cleaning up, they decided to buy breakfast. Many stalls are still closed at dawn, so they only eat boiled instant noodles with buffalo-eye eggs. His hunger made the bowl of boiled noodles run out in just a few minutes.

By renting a rickshaw, they came to Mr. Chandra's house. It is not difficult to find the address of Mr. Chandra's house because the name of Mr. Chandra is already famous in this city.

"Parmy! What is jolma i jabu? (excuse me, is anyone home?)" shouted the employee who accompanied Brandon.

Incidentally last night, Norma and mama Hotma were going to the city of Salak sibakua. Only Mr. Chandra is home at the moment.

"Yes, cosy! Iki mlsih! (Yes, wait a minute. Still this way!)" sahut Chandra sir from the house.

Mr. Chandra is not a descendant of Batak, so he only knows a little Batak even though his wife and in-laws are Batak. Mr. Chandra always uses Indonesian for his daily life. Many of his men are of Javanese descent, making him comfortable with his mother tongue.

Brandon who happened to hear Mr. Chandra's voice from inside could only smile.

"Buckoo! One language uses Batak one Javanese language. They know what it means, right?" brandon is confused.

Shortly afterwards, the door opened from inside.

"This is someone who wants to meet Uncle," said the employee.

Brandon immediately approached Chandra, he immediately pulled Chandra's hand and kissed the back of his hand.

"Oh, you? Come, in!" take Chandra sir to his guests.

Brandon and his employees walked into that simple but spacious house.

"Let's sit down, my members haven't come yet. Want me to offer you a drink I can't make it. Just drink water, right?" chandra said as soon as they sat down.

"Don't bother, Uncle! What's out there," licked Doni, Brandon's employee.

"Who are you, why did you meet my son's friend?" ask Mr. Chandra curious.

"I'm a Medan man, Uncle! This Mas employee," replied Doni confidently.

"Why are there Medan employees?" ask Mr. Chandra to Brandon with eyebrows linked to form a straight line.

"Rend's Comp opened an outlet branch in Medan, Om," explained Brandon.

"That means you've been to the field?"

"L-yes, Om," replied Brandon staggered.

"Why don't you come over here?"

"That time went with the relationship, so couldn't stop by. Actually Brandon invited Gita who was on vacation, but he did not want to," said Brandon defended himself.
