The next morning Alex was already sitting in the living room of Desi's house. With the address that Desi gave last night made Alex not difficult to find where Desi's house is located. Desi was sitting on the same sofa next to Alex.
"So you two have been in a relationship since when?" Tanya Darmawan is sitting on the sofa in front of her only daughter while Siska Darmawan's wife is sitting on the sofa next to her.
Why did Papi ask that? I thought that question was over last night. How'this? Inner Desi. The anxiety in his heart grew even greater when he could not answer the question from his father. "Pi..."
"We were in a relationship after I moved to Jakarta" Alex replied cutting off Desi's words.
While Desi just looked at Alex from the side without blinking. It was not that he was fascinated by the aura Alex was emitting on him. But he was afraid that Alex's answer would not be the same as last night's answer.
So he's really coming home from America? Inner Darmawan was still watching the man sitting next to his daughter.
Then slowly Alex looked at Desi with a sincere look. For a moment he held Desi's hand, carrying it in his hand. "I have loved Desi since Alika, the wife of my cousin, has always walked with Desi" said Alex, who still stared at Desi's meaningful face. For a moment he smiled. Then looked towards Desi's parents.
"I'm sorry om-tante. Because I didn't ask permission first to om and aunt when I was in a relationship with Desi" Alex said again. Convincing both of Desi's parents to believe his words. He still clasped Desi's hand. "I'm sorry, too, because I didn't dare say to marry your daughter and aunt. But at this time I ask permission to apply and invite princess om and aunt," added Alex again. With deep sincerity he tried once again to convince both of Desi's parents.
For a moment Siska held the husband's shoulder. From the look of his eyes, Siska also tried to convince Alex that he really loved Desi.
What the hell is he doing? Why are his words touching? And why are Papi and Mami silent? Ahh I'm just gonna get out of here.
Shouted Desi in the heart. He could not believe the words that came out of Alex's mouth.
***
They are both in Alex's car. Alex, who plans to introduce Desi to his family, is currently driving. Desi sat in the front seat on the left. He looked at Alex from the side. After both parents approve of their relationship, Desi is now a little worried as she will face Alex's parents.
"Can you stop staring at me like that?" said Alex who managed to surprise the daydreams of Desi. He did not look at Desi one bit after they came out of Desi's house.
Desi threw her face in any direction when Alex found out she was being noticed. "I just can't believe that you were so eloquent in front of my parents" said Desi who looked out the window. Look at the trees on the side of the road blown by the wind.
"What?" Desi was already stirred by emotion when Alex said that. Now his face has turned red because it restrains emotions.
"Why?" Alex asked as he glanced at Desi with his red face. "Are you angry? Are not my words true. You started this charade, right?" Added again.
Don't I just have to be patient with it? I don't want to marry the matchmaking given by Mami and Papi. It's only for one year of Desi. Be patient...
Desi said in the heart. He closed his eyes while taking a deep breath and then took it out. Then he opened his eyes again. Take one map out of his bag. A map containing the agreement between her and Alex as long as they are going to get married. "This is our covenant letter" said Desi, who held out the map to Alex.
Alex just glanced at the map. Then he pulled his car over. After that he took the map from Desi's hands. Open that map. He read everything written in the paper that Desi had given him. For a moment he laughed loudly. "Are you kidding me? You said last night you'd only apply for one condition. But what is this?" Alex said as he lifted the map up. "You even filed five requirements here" Alex continued.
"I changed my mind" Desi replied a little indifferently by throwing her face out the car window.
Alex let out a cynical laugh. He again read one by one the conditions that Desi put on him. First, after marriage Desi will continue to work as usual. Second, after marriage we will sleep separately even in the same room. Third, after marriage Desi will do whatever she wants and Alex must not forbid it and vice versa if Alex does something Desi should not forbid it. Fourth, after marriage, both are forbidden to touch a fingernail. But if in urgent circumstances such as in front of the family both can interact directly. The five of them should as much as possible not show awkwardness in front of their families if they are playing a show in building domestic relations for one year. Alex nodded his head slowly. "All right, I agree. But you have to remember. Be nice in front of my family. Especially with Sandra. Because the last time I saw you had a chance to get into a fight with him," Alex said.
Ahh I forgot that she has a shitty sister. Inner Desi. He was silent for a long time thinking about what Alex had asked him.
"Why don't you agree?" Alex asked who saw Desi's residence.
It seems that besides me having to be patient with him I also have to be patient with his sister. Inner Desi again. "Alright I agree," he replied in a loud voice. Then he took out a ballpoint pen from his bag and handed it to Alex. "Hurry to sign the agreement."
Without answering the words of Desi, Alex immediately grabbed the ballpoint pen from Desi's hand and immediately signed the contents of the agreement. Then he handed it to Desi again. "Keep the letter of agreement well. So you can remember that our deal is only for one year" Alex said, then he started his car and continued to drive to his house.
Desi still holds the map containing the letter of the agreement. He looked at the blue map. Whether this was a right or wrong decision, but he found no other way to avoid the matchmaking that many times his parents suggested. When she met Alex at a dinner between import export businessmen last night she consciously told her parents that Alex was her future husband.
Isn't this just for a year? For that long I will look for the man who truly loves me. Just one year.
