Marrying Grandpa's Choice

Missed you

The sunlight began to show its light, breaking through the sides of the window gap that was not covered with curtains. The woman who was lying on the bed squinted her eyes at the morning light she received, she began to stretch her arms and stretch her muscles.

“Hoam.” He yawned following the two slowly wide-open eyes. For a moment he stared at the ceiling of his room while gathering his spirit to wake up. Abel felt lazy to wake up.

Before long the ringing of the cell phone forced him to immediately move his body and get out of bed. He searched where the origin of the ringing mobile phone that turned out to be in a bag lying on the sofa.

“Halo.” Lifting the phone call immediately before the caller disconnects the call.

‘How long ago, dear?’ The voice of the man Abel loved.

“Sorry, I just woke up.” Abel answered softly. For a few days he had not met his girlfriend. Because Daniel has a job in Borneo. “What is your job smoothly, when are you back?”

‘My work is going well, maybe the day after I can return to Jakarta. I missed you!’

Abel pulled both corners of her lips curved upwards. “Hurry home, I miss you too.”

‘Wait for me baby!’

“Definitely darling, I must be waiting for you!”

A phone call from Daniel in the morning was a moodboster for Abel. He became more energetic as if his body battery was fully charged.

Abel headed to Caca's apartment in between by the driver Daniel had prepared. While on the road he stopped by the market to buy chicken porridge and some market snacks. Abel had not had breakfast, after bathing Abel went straight to Caca's apartment.

The flash back on..

Abel and Daniel are on their way home after their romantic dinner, when Mike suddenly calls Daniel and tells Daniel to go to Caca's apartment. Mike said he was with Caca who was drunk.

Daniel drives his car at high speed to Caca's apartment because Abel is worried about Caca.

Arriving at Caca's apartment, Abel went straight into the apartment, he saw Mike sitting pensively in the guest house while propping his chin.

“Where is Brother Caca, doctor Mike?” Abel was used to calling with his profession. Mike answers Abel's question by turning his eyes toward Caca's room, Abel understands Mike's point of view, he goes straight to Caca's room leaving Mike and Daniel in the living room.

“What happened?” Daniel sits himself next to Mike.

“Kak kawar lo drunk almost brought a rat got, fortunately I was there.”

Daniel patted Mike on the shoulder. “Thank you for taking care of my sister-in-law.” Chuckling. For Daniel who is older than Caca calling Caca sister-in-law makes her amused.

“Is he always like this when there is a problem?” Mike was curious, Caca doesn't look like a rundown woman. She doesn't fit in with the night world.

Daniel shrugged both of his shoulders. “Entah.”

“How is your application?No need to answer looking from your face, I can already guess the answer. I wonder what Abel saw from a guy like lo.” Mike bobbing head.

“Gue is handsome, and also well established.” Daniel answered with pride.

‘What brother is out of his mind, Ha?’ Abel's voice was clear.

Daniel and Mike nodded. “What they quarrel.” Daniel got up from his seat and stepped into Caca's room before things went wrong. So did Mike, the man tailed behind Daniel.

They arrived at Caca's doorstep, which was not sealed shut. Daniel and Mike stood at the door to keep watch, if things were heating up according to Daniel then the man would go straight in to mediate.

Caca sobbing. “Abel brother please, persuade Kevin to marry big brother. You and Kevin are close, right?” Pinta Caca's.

“Married is not the solution, brother forgot what brother said to me yesterday, Ha??Sister will focus on Sister's career.” Abel said while holding back the anger within him.

“That was before Ilham bothered me again, you know Ilham wants to turn back.”

“Reject what's hard.” Reply Abel cuek.

“It's not that easy, Bel. She will definitely not stop bothering me before I get married, her one-on-one path is to get married. And, Kevin the right guy.” Both of Caca's beads filled with clear liquid that continuously fell dripping on his cheeks.

Abel shook his head. “Kevin already has a girlfriend, brother. Be aware, marriage is not the solution, brother.”

Caca took Abel's hand and turned to Abel, who was standing before him. “Alright, I'll sleep with a man only. Then I will return to Inspiration. It was better, I could avenge the betrayal of Ilham and afterwards we could start a new life. Anyway I still love Ilham.” very much Caca's talk is getting more and more slurred.

“You want, right, help sister?”

“Enough, brother!Abel doesn't want to hear any nonsense from sister anymore. Brother is drunk, better brother rest, I will stay in the next room tonight.” Abel releases Caca's hand which is still attached to her. Then he flipped his body walking out of Caca's room.

Daniel and Mike quickly return to the living room before Abel catches them in front of Caca's room. Daniel and Mike pretend to be talking.

“Honey, I'll stay here tonight.” Abel approached Daniel and sat down on the sofa in front of Daniel.

“Alright, Mike and I will sleep on the sofa.” Daniel is reluctant to leave Abel and Caca after the Abel and Caca debate.

“Better in the TV room only, there is a carpet also a floor mattress, you can sleep there.” Daniel obeyed the words of Abel.

Abel prepared two blankets for Daniel an Mike as well as two pillows. After Abel went into the guest room to clean himself, he changed into sleeping clothes in Caca's pajamas.

Flash back off

“You've arrived, let's have breakfast!” Caca greeted Abel with a sweet smile. The woman had woken up, and was struggling in her kitchen to prepare breakfast. When Abel came along, Caca finished cooking.

“What cooking sister?” Abel sat in the pantry seat and put the porridge and market porridge he had bought onto the table.

“Fried rice seasoning racik.” Caca chuckles.

Caca can only cook with the help of concoction. Just like Abel, but now there is less progress. Abel began to cook with his own concoction.

“I like the sausage, sausage has a brother love to Abel aja dong. Instead Abel love brother martabak.” Abel pointed at the plastic crisps he had brought.

“You from small do not change, sausage belongs to brother always you ask.” Caca grumbled with Abel's nature. Even though he wants to get married.

“Abis delicious anyway.” Abel scoops the sausage on Caca's plate and moves it into her plate which already contains fried rice.

Today Daniel went to his law firm to finish his job which he stayed for a few days. Daniel has been working all day because he works so much. He could not meet Abel at lunch. Daniel was forced to wait for his work to be completed and was only able to meet Abel.

At five o'clock Daniel's job was just done. Daniel drives his car to Abel's apartment.

Daniel accidentally presses Abel's apartment bell to surprise Abel. She carried a bouquet of flowers that she hid behind her body.

“Surprise!” Daniel yells.

“Honey, you're home?” Abel's eyes sparkled to see Daniel standing before him.

“I miss you so much, which is why I finished my work quickly. This is for you.” The flowers Daniel brought.

“Still, dear.” Received the flower and immediately rushed into Daniel's arms. Daniel rained down on Abel's head with a kiss.

“You won't let me in, baby?”

Abel lets go of his embrace and pulls Daniel's arm to get inside his apartment.

“You seem tired.”

“Can in said very tired.”

“Alright, clean yourself. I'll prepare dinner.”
