Love Me Tender's

Preparation of Reception Event

Tamara and Indira were already in the car. Mr. Joko also rushed forward the vehicle leaving the cafe parking lot.

"Ara, did you see what Dion's brother was doing on his laptop?" indira asked as she turned towards Tamara.

Tamara shook her head. "Why indeed?"

"So I saw he was doing a search on a website. Can you connect it to something?"

Tamara. "Don't..."

Indira nodded her head, showing that they were of one mind.

"Love letter", they said simultaneously which made Mr. Joko shocked.

"Do you have an example of Dion's writing?" ask Indira.

Tamara seemed to think for a moment. "Yes, ada. Brother Dion once wrote a recipe for mommy. I hope the notes don't disappear."

Indira nodded her head. "okay."

 

In a large but poorly maintained house, a mother sits in a wheelchair staring at the arrival of her only child.

"How was your lecture today, son?"

The man who had just returned from college also threw himself into his arms around his mother, then he kissed her forehead. "How's mom doing today? Did you take any medication?"

"Already, son. You don't have to worry about mom. Bi Rodiyah has taken good care of mom."

"Good, if your aunt has taken good care of your mother. Now, let's take a walk in the park."

"No need, son. Mom just stay here. I just want to ask you about the progress of our plan. Did you get it?"

"Not yet, ma'am", said the man bowed.

"Basic useless child! Doing easy things like that you can't, ha!" Momentarily the mother's tenderness changed.

The man could only silently stare at the angry mother by throwing something around her. Without feeling her tears fall down her cheeks.

 

The Tamara residence.

Looks simple home decoration but still impressed luxurious.

"Is your family having an event?" Indira circulated her gaze seeing the beautiful decorations filling the room.

Tamara scrunched her forehead. "Are we not family? You should've changed your family's word to ours."

"Yes that means." Indira straightened it out before Tamara continued her speech.

"Didn't grandpa tell you. If tomorrow noon will be held your wedding reception and Brother Theo."

Indira shook her head. 'But what is an event like that for? This is not the marriage we wanted."

"Everything has happened and time cannot be repeated. It is better to live first" Tamara said giving advice.

"Or don't you really want your relationship with Daven to be disrupted?" theo asked suddenly when he had just entered the house.

Indira looked at Theo who was waiting for an answer from her. "I have nothing to do with Daven, apart from college friends. He also knew about our marriage."

"Obviously he knows. Because he's the one who set us up."

"At first he just wanted to defame me. But she didn't think the end of it was me marrying you. Daven was stressed when his plan failed miserably, because there was no news in the newspaper about the incident."

Indira. "So call... "

"I'm tired right now, tomorrow we have our wedding reception. Think about it, don't think about anyone else. Remember, I'm your husband!" Theo cut off an indira greeting that did not want to talk about another man. Then he left Indira and Tamara.

"What Theo said. We'd better focus on our own business."

Indira was silent for a moment. He could only temporarily keep his curiosity over what had happened to Daven.

 

In the room.

Indira stared pushyly out the window of the room while sitting pensively on the sofa. He was still waiting for Theo to finish his bathing ritual.

Chequek.

The sound of the door opening distracts Indira. Spontaneously, he turned to the bathroom. With ease Theo walked out of the bathroom, just wearing a towel wrapped around his waist and showing off his torn bread, making Indira not want to distract him from Theo.

"Are you satisfied to see it?" theo asked as he saw Indira looking at him without blinking.

As if caught off guard, Indira quibbled. "The point is to see not to feel satisfied or not", replied.Indira ngssal. Then he again threw his gaze out the window so Theo did not see his merry face.

Theo smiled when he heard Indira's nervous voice. Somehow every word that came out of Indira's mouth, the more he was interested. Then Theo walked towards the walk-in closet to make his clothes. Indira got up from the sofa. He walked towards the bathroom hurriedly so as not to meet back with Theo.

 

In the dining room.

Theo family's warm welcome when he and Theo came together to the dining table made Indira feel moved. The nervousness that Indira felt before because of the sweet treatment of Theo who waited for her until she finished bathing slowly disappeared.

"Grandfather is glad you started living life as husband and wife. Grandpa, I hope you'll move on to the next stage." Grandfather smilingly looked at Theo and Indira alternately.

Indira frowned when she heard the ambiguous words of her grandfather. "I mean, cake?" Indira's question managed to make Theo choke.

Grandpa and the others smiled when they heard Indira's plain question. "Ask your husband later when you're both in the room" said the grandfather.

Indira. "Good, cake", he said casually. Then Indira's hand scoops the food into the dish, for her husband and for herself. Without Indira realizing Theo was secretly watching his every move. Theo wanted to prove whether his grandfather's words were true about Indira.

It didn't take long for them all to finish dinner. After that all the Theo family gathered in the living room as they always did. Tonight they want to discuss the wedding reception of Theo and Indira.

"Everything's night..."

"Grandfather... Granny..!" shouted Tamara as she got up from her seat, then scattered hugging her grandparents alternately.

"Where's Grandpa's naughty granddaughter?" The grandfather was looking for Theo who was hiding behind the grandfather's body from his father's side

"Message calm down!" pinta the grandfather. "Come, sit here."

"Sorry, cake" Theo said guiltily. He always had difficulty facing the anger of his two grandfathers.

Grandfather ignored him. "Is this grandfather's son-in-law's granddaughter?" asked the grandfather when he looked at Indira, because only Indira was a person he did not know among his family.

"Yes kek", Theo said. Grandpa still doesn't care.

"Where do your families live, cu?"

Suddenly they all fell silent, then turned towards Indira.

"They're gone, cake. Since 3 years ago", said Indira lirih. Tears that had been curled up in his eye sashes, finally fell freely.
