"I'm a freelance model for clothes sold in online stores."

The answer just came out of Vedra's mouth. At least at this time, claiming to be a freelance model is better than expected adult magazine models. I don't know what Verda means by claiming Vedra's job is a model. Is it just because Vedra has a towering tall body?

Vedra believes that Verda may have considered many things so all she has to do is improvise in harmony, harmony, and balance, for their common good.

"Oh, you run an online clothing store?" ask Vivie.

"'No, I just model for shooting according to the concept required by my client. It's just that I'm not interested in doing a photo shoot for a swimsuit catalog, or underwear," Vedra replied firmly.

Everyone was still staring at Vedra, seen the face of Mr. Daus getting sour.

"Work as a model means not to escape the glamorous life. Every time you're surrounded by beautiful women, shearing charms, and you end up being an accomplished cheat?" Mr. Daus again raised the accusation.

Verda glared back at his father, but Mr. Daus glared back at Verda.

"Did you really just want to make Verda your toy?!"

"Dad!" cut Verda.

"Verda, quiet!" sergeant Mr. Daus.

Mr. Daus cast his gaze towards Verda.

"Verda, if you can't keep quiet, you better just go inside the house!" toilet Mr. Daus.

Vedra gulped his saliva, Mr. Daus really intimidated him.

Mr. Daus, the man over sixty years old was glaring with his wide eyes. The middle-aged man who usually always smiles kindly does look scary when he is in high tension. His neatly arranged thin mustache twitched withstanding emotions.

"I apologize in advance, I think it would be wrong to judge me that way" Vedra said.

Panjenengan in fine Javanese grammar means you. Vedra used to use the word 'panjenengan' when with Pak Haryo, Silvia's father. Vedra uses the word panjenengan to refer to Mr. Daus who refused to be called 'pak' by Vedra.

"I'm not a guy who likes to play with women because I don't think women are dolls" Vedra continued.

Mr. Daus grinned wryly, apparently this man had great guts to challenge him like this.

"Dad, I'm hungry, let's stop this interview for a moment" whined Verda.

Mr. Daus ignored Verda's whining and was still fixed on Vedra.

"Hey, Dude!" said Mr. Daus. "Do you know the similarities and differences between you and the thieves?" ask Mr. Daus.

Vedra was stunned to hear Mr. Daus's question, as well as Verda, Vivie, and Ms. Eva.

Mr. Daus still maintained his cynical smile.

"For me, you're no different than a thief. You took my son without my permission. Do not challenge this widow Verda then you can just take Verda directly," said Mr. Daus calmly but gave stabbing emphasis.

It felt like Verda interrupted her father, but Vivie immediately held Verda's hand.

"Sister!" miss Vivie.

"Did you really underestimate Verda? Just because Verda's status is already a widow, so there's no goodwill. Don't stop feeling handsome. You're handsome because you're young. Try it if it's old, ugly you are too," continued Mr. Daus.

There was no resolute tone from Mr. Daus' speech, all flowing calm but sharp and piercing. Vedra steals a glance towards Verda. Verda is seen huffing, wanting to be angry with her father but Vivie continues to hold Verda.

"You must not look at Verda with one eye only because Verda is a widow. Verda is a lot of people want. You don't feel like you've got Verda and then you can act on it." 

Mr. Daus turned his eyes to Verda.

"Verda, this is why I'm so worried about you. I don't want you to carelessly choose a man just because he has a handsome face. Just being handsome can't be a guarantee that that guy can make you happy." 

Vedra only silent, it's up to Verda's father to meet him thief or thief, or the snatch of people's children. After all, the marriage that took place between Verda and Vedra was just a guarantee. When all of Verda's photo card collection is successfully collected, they can part ways well. The sooner Vedra gets back the set of photo cards, the sooner they split up. Sounds easy and far from complicated, right?

"Okay, Dad," said Ms. Eva.

With a swift Bu Eva filled the plate Pak Daus with warm white rice that the smoke was still steaming.

Verda harrumphed towards her father. He was upset because his father could still invite him to eat together when it felt like Verda's appetite was almost lost due to spiritual watering from his father. While Vedra was just silently sculpting, he was still immersed in his own thoughts.

"Why don't you eat?" ask Mr. Daus towards Vedra. "Thank you for being the host I'm willing to take you out to eat with my family."

"Thank you for asking me to eat with my family. It's just, I don't want to be puffed up by assuming I'm presumptuous because I eat without being invited" replied Vedra.

"I don't want to be able to assume I'm the sassy type of person. I'm really sorry because according to my panjenengan has been presumptuous to take Verda without permission. I realized that it was inappropriate. The marriage that took place between me and Verda was purely done by mutual agreement. Without any coercion or pressure from any side" Vedra explained at length.

"I never forced Verda to come with me. I leave it all to Verda. Because I believe in the decisions made by Verda."

Vedra has self-esteem that must be maintained. He does not want to be considered as a child of people. Vedra has even offered to Verda to meet the Verda family before their wedding. Vedra felt that he had walked on the right track, it was Verda who at that time considered that permission from parents was not important.

"Khu khu," Mr. Daus laughed.

The middle-aged man's laughter sounded scornful. This young man before him seemed to be mocking him for not appreciating Verda's decision.

"Alright, please continue eloping you guys, anyway, frankly, I have not accepted your marriage and I do not consider you as my son-in-law yet" said Mr. Daus.

"Dad!" Verda glared back at her father.

Mr. Daus smiled wryly towards Verda. 

"It's up to the panjengan only, I'm following whatever the decision of the panjenengan and Verda's decision," said Vedra relaxed.

Vedra immediately filled his plate with warm white rice and began to eat the dishes presented in front of him.

It's good to be able to eat for free, if you can often like this, the mind is happy.

...*****...

Verda approached Vedra which is currently standing on the edge of a freshwater fish pond that swims without weight. His eyes observed dozens of large fish that were so agile and actively moving.

"Ved," said Verda directly embracing Vedra's waist.

"Verda," said Vedra.

"What are you thinking?" ask Verda.

"I was thinking, the fish must be very good if fried dry and eaten with young mango sauce," replied Vedra.

Verda was flabbergasted at Vedra's reply.

"Ahaha, Ved, do you know, I'm thinking about my father's words, but you're thinking about cooking fish?" Verda chuckles.

"I even thought, may I take these fish for our dinner side dish? It's good if you get two sacks, you can eat one month," continued Vedra.

"Aahaha!" Verda laughed out loud at Vedra's words.

Mr. Daus and Ms. Eva who were watching from a distance were staring at each other.

"Verda looks really happy, Dad," said Ms. Eva.

Mr. Daus declined to comment on his wife's words.

Meanwhile, Vivie who saw from the balcony of her room is now filled with guilt because all this time has considered her brother just hallucinating married.
