MARRIED DUREN ANSA

That time

A sleeping Kevin is carried by Alex to a couch in the VIP room. They chose the room, because it was considered more private. Alex put Kevin on the longest sofa, then fix his sleeping position to make it more comfortable.

"But you want to be honest about your thoughts earlier, papi hope you don't get angry. You don't have to answer, you just listen!" kusuma said then.

"Actually the papi just before leaving for Widya's house, papi does not approve you. But once you know that Ary Widya's youngest child, it feels like papi can't bear to not give you your blessing." Finally, I was relieved, because I had told her son honestly.

"But you have to give us your blessing?" alex asked narrowed his narrowed eyes.

"But not feeling forced, papi bless you from the bottom of your heart papi. Without coercion!" answer Kusuma.

"But you've known Widya for a long time?" alex asked after taking care of his son, then sat to the left of the father.

"We've known each other since childhood, because our parents were friends" replied Kusuma.

"That means it's close!" sahut Anton who sits to the right of Mr. Kusuma.

"Nearly enough, we even planned to make a family. We used to be happy lovers. But that happiness was lost after there were people who didn't like our family."

"There was someone who deliberately complained to our family. So that there was a misunderstanding, Widya's parents' efforts began to fall because there was a massive embezzlement, but your grandfather was made a scapegoat. At that time Wijaya was Hadiningrat's right hand, so the furniture business owned by Widya's father developed rapidly."

"Although Wijaya, your grandfather, had his own business but he still helped Hadiningrat. The closeness of the two also brings closeness to their children. It just so happens that the distance between papi and Widya is only a few years. So that we're easily familiar and close."

"As time goes by, as the saying goes, love exists because it is ordinary. The love between us grew, the family grew closer. At that time, Widya had become an honorary teacher in an Elementary School. While papi takes care of your grandfather's business. Your grandfather owned a fairly large clothing wholesale store. Because papi's the only boy, so papi's taking care of the business."

"Your grandfather, who recently resigned as Hadiningrat's personal assistant, is accused of embezzlement. As there was no solid evidence, the two became hostile. Now Hadiningrat's business is not what it used to be, Hadiningrat's name is slow but definitely missing from the business world." Kusuma told his son everything.

"In that time I was going to propose to Widya as a companion. Because of the problem, my application was rejected by Mr. Rahardja Hadiningrat. Widya is betrothed to her teaching friend in SD. That man will now be your father-in-law. He is a kind and loving man. So their marriage is happy until now." Kusuma took a sip of his coffee which was getting cold.

"Pak Kemal is kind and loving, Pi! Just look, he is not the slightest bit angry or reject us. He accepts us with both hands." said Alex sipping his favorite black coffee.

"So papi said there was a third person among grandfathers with Ary's grandfather, did Ary's grandfather know?" ask Anton curiously.

"Know, I guess! Because we no longer deal with their families after that incident." replied Kusuma.

"But know who is the mastermind behind Rahardja's grandfather's business collapse?" ask Alex.

"His sister-in-law, who also works at that company!" kusuma replied, actually he did not want to reveal the disgrace of others. But this concerns the past that has not been settled, inevitably he tells everything.

"Where is that guy now?" alex asked as he played his index finger on the edge of the coffee cup.

"Have you ever heard of Harto Meubel? Efforts that make and sell household furniture." asked Kusuma looking at the faces of Alex and Anton alternately.

"It's over!" said Anton

"Not yet!" answer Alex.

Anton and Alex answer Mr. Kusuma's questions simultaneously, but different answers.

"It used to be that the shop was spread out here!" said Mr. Kusuma surprised his son answered never, even though the business was the most famous here.

"Oh, yes! I remember now! There are five outlet stores along Jogja - Solo. The outlet was huge." cried Alex as soon as he remembered about Harto meubel.

"Later remember too!" sahut Anton's.

"Harto meubel was once owned by Rahardja, but now it has been controlled by his sister-in-law" explained Kusuma.

"Rahardja with her son, Sofyan, tried to build the business again from the beginning. Still making meubel and handicrafts, but exported because he no longer wants to deal with his sister. He also opened a business from concrete, making brick and paving." Kusuma continued his story.

"But before long Rahardja died, after a few years, her son and daughter-in-law died in an accident. So that effort is now in the hands of his son Sofyan." Kusuma ended his story by sipping his coffee again.

"Isn't Sofyan's son mentally retarded, Pi?" anton asked, he knew a little about some of the businessmen in the city.

"His first wife's son is there! Male instead, but it seems he prefers to be a state servant. Because I've seen him wear a PNS uniform." replied Kusuma.

"Kok you know about Sofyan?" alex asks Anton, wondering where Anton knows.

"Om Sofyan is Bayu's father, our upperclassman in High School! Remember?" Anton explains.

"Oh! Mean Bayu's cousin Ary's sister? They deserve to be sticky!" alex said cheerfully, he did not end up thinking that the man who was envied was Ary's cousin's sister.

"Why? Shocked?!" Anton sneered at Alex.

"Why not say it before! Aseeem!" alex yelled at Anton in annoyance.

"Buahaha! Sorry, it hurts!'' anton shouted laughing while avoiding the blow from Alex.

"Already! Don't fuss in public places. We'd better go home, it's night!" kusuma said he broke both.

After paying all the bills, they walked out of the cafe. Alex holds back Kevin who is still asleep. The child was not disturbed at all, even though he had repeatedly moved places.

"Papi feels the same as Bu Widya now, how?" alex asked suddenly after they entered the car.

"Okaya! Like meeting an old friend." replied Kusuma lying, actually he still harbored that feeling. Had there been no one near them, maybe Kusuma would have hugged Widya tightly.

"It should be like that, because soon he will be my father-in-law. It means it's gonna be besan papi!" alex responded to his father's words.

Actually Alex knew, there was a deep longing in his father's eyes. But he pretended not to know, to keep his father feeling.

"Now it's time to find a way for your mom to accept Ary as her daughter-in-law. Not thinking about your mother-in-law's feelings!" kusuma said as silence struck, as they were already sleepy and tired.

"Yes, Pi! Alex already has plans to cancel the engagement with Tere." replied Alex confidently.
