Me And My Man
111. Against Gandhi
One week later, Mr. Man the driver came early to pick up Reyna and bring her to Alex's residence on Saturday.
A few days earlier Reyna had contacted Ms May's family to come today without explaining her needs.
Gandhi was the thing Reyna feared the most, a man who could hardly guess his way of thinking. I don't know what's going to happen.
---
When Alex welcomes her warmly, Reyna hugs the man and whispers softly apologizing. He is heartless when Bimo has to explain himself about the complexity of their relationship in the past.
"Here you go, let's get going. I can't wait to meet your family"
Bimo climbed into the steering wheel followed by Reyna next to him, God sitting behind with Om Alex.
"Tell Om who we'll meet Reyna with?"
"There was Pakdhe Hermawan, my guardian from childhood Om. There is Ma'am May my sister's cousin and her husband and son who are currently also on their way there"
"And.. " Reyna glanced at Bimo "Dan Mas Gandhi the eldest son of Pakdhe, um don't be surprised if later Mas Gandhi's reaction is a bit excessive"
"Excessive? Meanin?"
Reyna glanced at the middle spy "Ehmm.. Mas Gandhi was affectionate with his younger siblings so yes uh. I'm afraid Brother Bimo is being bullied"
Unexpectedly Om Alex terbahak "Ah let it be, yesterday Om also not satisfied to make Bimo battered"
The man who was the main topic of the conversation was focused on steering and only glanced lazily.
"Om favoritism, why only Bimo gets angry, Reyna should be too" he grumbled
"It's definitely you who's wrong, already knows someone's wife" Alex hit Bimo's shoulder
"Reyna entered Bimo's room willingly.. "
"Sister, I don't know .. We were drunk at the time"
plaques
Again the punch landed on his shoulder making Bimo complain
"What...!!!! So you got Reyna drunk too!!! " call Alex
"Eh is not Om. Reyna almost drunk, not really drunk" Reyna stroked Bimo's shoulder.
"Om, we like to like it. We are not conscious by force"
and "adooowww".
"Sir, shame ah!" Reyna glared as she stroked her pinch on the man's waist
.

Reyna takes God into the house of Hermawan followed by Alex and Bimo behind.
"Sit down Om, I call Pakdhe first" Reyna breezed in
---
"It's up to Rey.. "why Ma'am May from the living room "You brought your own car?"
"Ehmm.. did not bring Kak Bimo, Pakdhe and Mas Gandhi where Mbak?" reyna asked as she greeted May and Mas Aris
May knitted her eyebrows "Bimo? Um, the next door neighbor, right?"
Reyna nodded and walked to the back of the house, asking Mbok Sri to prepare a drink for her guests.
"Pakdhe.". "greet him cheerfully, hugged the man he did not look at long. "Where is Gandhi?"
"There's a side. Who's Rey's guest?" apparently Hermawan heard Reyna talking to Mbok Sri
"Ehmm. pack change clothes yes.. " Reyna guided the man into the room and changed his house shirt
"His guests matter Rey?" Hermawan just according to when Reyna tidied up his shirt
"Pakdhe meet first, Reyna wants to find Mas Gandhi"
Gandhi was shaking his waist giving directions to workers beside the house. The man looked sangar with his hair getting longer touching the nape and the hair was left thick.
"Mas .... " Reyna wrapped her hands around the man's waist hoping that today Gandhi's mood was bright today
"When's it coming?" Gandhi grabbed Reyna by the shoulder and squeezed her shoulder
"Barusan. in front of yuk. there are guests. Pakdhe's gone first" Reyna was still writhing spoiled and wrapped her two hands
Gandhi glanced at him sharply, he memorized Reyna's attitude when smooth, soft and spoiled is his nurse if he wants something, or when he has made a mistake and when persuading him to hold back his anger.
"Who?"
"Later Mas also knew" Reyna took a close look at the man's waist and dragged him towards the front door
Gandhi's close embrace on Reyna's boat loosened as his eyes fell on Bimo upon his arrival in the living room. Nodding respectfully towards Alex then took a seat next to Hermawan after greeting the 2 guests.
"Drink Rey... " Mbok Sri holds the tray and Reyna helps arrange the glasses on the guest table
"Thank you Mbok, ask for help call Mbak May and Mas Aris yes"
---
The living room was crowded, Alex took a breath and began to open his mouth
"So Mr. Hermawan and his family, I'm Alex the guardian of Bimo, he's a nephew I've considered a son of my own"
"Sorry before that our sudden arrival is disturbing, my intention here is to propose to Reyna for Bimo"
Silent
All eyes were on Reyna. Hermawan sighed, Ma'am May held the back of Reyna's hand sitting next to him.
Reyna glanced at Gandhi, the man was staring intently at Bimo.
"Reyna." call Hermawan.
"Mr... " Gandhi turned towards Hermawan
"You've been carefully thought out Reyna" Hermawan looked at Reyna
"Already pakdhe.. " Reyna nodded without hesitation
"No. It's too soon" Gandhi shook his head
Bimo sighed "I.. "
"Bimo. "cut Alex and shake his head to look at Bimo telling the man to keep his mouth shut "I can help explain if Nak Gandhi is pleased" he said.
"I'm sorry, but it looks like you came at a bad time" Gandhi still dominated.
"Gandhi. keep your attitude" said Hermawan.
"But Sir.. "
Hermawan held his son's arm
"Sir Alex, thank you for coming all the way here to propose to my daughter. But I don't know your son yet. Bimo boy, how long have you known Reyna?"
Bimo looked at Alex, for some reason he suddenly became afraid if he mispronounced, Alex nodded his head giving him a chance to talk
"For a long time Mr. Hermawan, Reyna was my assistant" silent for a moment to see the reaction of the man in front of him "We have only been reunited for about one year"
"What prompted Nak Bimo to propose to Reyna?"
"We were bound by something Father" painstakingly Bimo gulped, cold sweat began to condense on his forehead
"Something? Meanin?" gandhi's voice is rising
Reyna and Bimo look up, me or you will talk !
"God is their son" Alex's voice was soft but it sounded like a bomb in each guest room's ear
Again, all eyes looked at Reyna who could only bow down.
"Rey. tell me it's wrong" Gandhi shouted.
"That's right Mas, Pakdhe... Maud.. " Reyna looked at them in turn
"Rey... " Hermawan held his chest, a disappointed look clearly on his face
Reyna got up and hurriedly rested at the feet of Herwaman
"I'm sorry Reyna pakdhe, Reyna was wrong... Sorry"
"Follow me! You're embarrassing the family!" Gandhi stood up and pulled Reyna's still-strapped arm
"Mas Gandhi don't .I am wrong .. " Bimo is standing
"Gandhi. sit down! Let your brother explain first" orders Hermawan
Gandhi snorted and pulled Reyna's arm back to sit down
"At that time Mas Satria and Reyna wanted to explain this. We both had to have a marriage"
"Forced heh?" Gandhi glanced at him
"Reyna was afraid to see Pakdhe's efforts drag if Reyna rejected the proposal at that time. While Mas Satria was also forced because he was in need of money for his business promised Pak Wiji if he wanted to marry Reyna"
"You're messing around!" again Gandhi was strangled
"Yes Yes Mas.. " Reyna was annoyed at being cornered
"That means you were pregnant when you were Satria's wife?" Ma'am May asked quietly which only Reyna subscribed to.
"For Reyna.... Ye... " May shakes her head not knowing what to say
"Why didn't you hold Bimo accountable in the first place?" Gandhi asked
"Mas, Brother Bimo said we've only met again in the last year. Salah Mas Gandhi himself disposed of the simcard so I couldn't reach him" Reyna replied resentfully
"And where are you going? Run?" gandhi's eyes stared at Bimo
"They are looking for Nak Gandhi, but it can not be maximized because Bimo was transferred to a branch office outside the island and only applied to move back to the headquarters this year. A return that was only a few times in a short period of time was also due to my deteriorating health"
"Why don't you try to find Reyna's address in your office application file" Gandhi continued to pursue
"It was Mas, but the address Reyna listed was Satria's residence. I have visited here twice during the year-end holidays but the house is always quiet. I left a phone number for Mas at that time, I delivered an important message related to Reyna"
"Sister Bimo has been here?" Reyna
"Considered?? Did I ever ask you the way?" Bimo grunts
Hihhhh stupidly I Reyna scratched the back of her hands rough, she was too afraid to imagine the meeting today to not realize it
Gandhi stood up and went to the front door shouting loudly to call Mr. Min the housekeeper
"Yes Mas" caught the old man coming closer
"Did Mr Min ever feel like meeting that man?" show Gandhi to Bimo
Mr. Min stared fixedly, his old forehead folding up as he tried to remember "Oh yeah.. The cook who came gave the phone number to Ms Reyna yes"
Bimo smiled winning.
"Did you give me my phone number?"
"I threw! I thought it was from Satria" Gandhi scratched his head and sat back down
"I'm sorry.. " Mr Min is about to pass
"Pak Min. ask for help to bring Mbah Mijan here" asked Hermawan who was quickly embraced by Mr. Min
"Father.this is too soon" Gandhi insisted.
"Faster is better! " Hermawan raised his tone
"I'm sorry but who are you calling?" Alex is sounding
"People used to count the good days for the wedding" Hermawan replied firmly
YES!
