Love Assistant Cold

Chapter 37 - S2 - Dinner With Harsya

"really?" ask Elijah.

"He's my distant cousin, his name is Randy. He always asks about you directly through me" Mitha said.

"meaning?" Elijah scrunched his forehead.

"For example this way when I create a status on the sosmed, he will comment on where I am at the moment. I've met him at the minimarket he's gonna ask me if I'm gonna go out with you or not."

"Had he known me."

"That means he's been this guy who always sends you presents?" ask Elijah.

"Yes." Yeah."

"He didn't hurt you, did he?"

"No, he proposed to me."

"Huh? What!"

"I'm confused because I just knew him and he's been a fan of mine. What do you think he's the man of nature and attitude?"

"I don't really know his family too closely, because according to the genealogy the descendants are very far away. If I'm not mistaken, her mother is the niece of my aunt's husband. Ribet's just explaining it."

"So, you've never met at a big family event?"

"Just once, I don't know where he knows you either."

"When was Randy's mother in a wheelchair?"

"I don't know, El. Because I don't know him very closely."

"Do you think I should take it?"

"You better talk about this with Brother Harsya or your mother" suggested Mitha.

Hearing Mitha's advice, Elijah went to visit her brother's residence.

"Mitha, are you alone?" harsya asked when her sister had just arrived at her house.

"Yes, Brother."

"What's up here? Tumben without calling first" Harsya said.

"Sir, there's something I want to talk about" Elijah said.

"Yes, what do you want to say?" ask Harsya.

Elijah explains that there are men who like him and want to propose to him.

"Do you love her?"

"I'm confused, Brother."

"Why confused?"

"I've only known him for the last two months" Elijah answered.

"Are you comfortable with him?" ask Harsya again.

Elijah nodded.

"Find him with us at mom's house. If it is serious," said Harsya.

"Good, Brother."

Elijah calls Randy to meet and the man agrees.

Both are now in a cafe.

"My brother wants you to come to my parents' house if it's serious" Elijah said.

"When can I meet them?"

"Are you serious?" Elijah did not believe.

"Yes, I'm serious about you, El."

Elijah was so happy to hear that.

"There's something I want to ask you. Do you really know Mitha?"

Randy's speechless.

"It's only fitting that you know where I am, apparently getting information from Mitha" Elijah chirped.

Randy smiled.

"I will tell you the time" said Elijah.

Four days later...

Randy comes to Elijah's parents' house. In front of his family, he meets Harsya and Madya.

"I am Elijah's brother!" Harsha introduced herself.

"I'm Randy, Brother!"

"Please sit!" harsya.

The four sat together at one table.

"What's your job?" ask Madya.

"I work at a property company, Auntie."

"What about your parents?" ask Madia again.

"Papa died ten years ago and you can only sit in a wheelchair" Randy explained.

Madya and Harsya looked at each other.

"Are you really serious about Elijah?" ask Harsya.

Randy assented.

"What makes you like my sister?" ask Harsya again.

"I can't give you a reason" replied Randy.

Elijah who heard it blushed in shame.

"I will think again, whether you are worthy of my sister or not" Harsya said.

"Sister Harsya rejected Randy?" ask Elijah.

"No, I just want to find out who your boyfriend really is" Harsya replied.

"What Brother Harsya did was right, he just wanted the best for his sister" Randy said.

Harsya looked suspicious of her sister's lover.

After an hour of chatting with dinner, Harsya returned home with the driver, Alpha and Biom.

"I want you to find out who Randy really is? I suspect that he has other goals" he told Biom.

"Good, Sir."

A few minutes after Harsya, Randy said goodbye to Elijah and his mother.

Elijah drove Randy to the car. "What if Brother Harsya rejects you?"

"I'll keep trying to melt her heart."

"Hopefully you succeed, for it is very difficult to conquer."

"If it's about her sister's happiness, she'll be devastated, too" Randy said.

"It usually is, but look at it later."

"If he refuses, will you also reject me?"

Elijah was silent, he was indeed very worried.

"Don't think about it, just follow the path" Randy said.

Elijah assented.

Randy got into his car and drove to his house.

Elijah went back inside.

"Mom hesitated, El."

"On Randy?"

"Yes, I don't know why I'm sure about the kid. Looks like he's keeping something from us" explained Madya.

"Mom, we just met. It's natural to hesitate" said Elijah.

"Mother's hesitation is huge, El. So think before the plan."

"Yes, Mom."

In Elijah's room, think of his mother's words and Harsha's brief words at dinner.

Elijah has fallen in love with Randy but his little heart is doubtful. "Why with me? Why did my mother's words make me doubt?" inner asked.
