Moon In Hugs

Chapter 223

Diana and her father went home to Uncle Salim, Aditya, and the others that morning. They were carrying two suitcases and a backpack, waiting for their invitation to arrive. Yesterday Diana's father went here in a travel car.

“Do not leave immediately. Stop by first, sir,” Uncle Salim told Diana's father. “Yesterday we did not have time to chat a lot because of the affairs at the police station.”

“Bby, sir, may,” replied Diana's father looks happy, “but two hours away our invitation arrived.”

“Yes, it's still a long time. We also chat will not be kasa.”

Aditya doesn't see that as a good idea, but well, what's wrong with welcoming Diana for the last time before the novel's author actually leaves? After all, he doesn't know what Uncle Salim would be like if there wasn't any help from Diana?

Diana was seen talking alone in the kitchen with Uncle Salim a moment later. At that time the old man asked the girl to accompany him to the back to prepare drinks and sweet potatoes for the Diana family in Surabaya.

However, Aditya knows they are not just preparing the yam there. Uncle Salim looked serious about asking Diana to speak.

Diana only looked down and occasionally smiled as she somehow said what. Their voices were not heard from the living room.

Aditya sat down, “Uncle seems not to want to give up on matching me with Diana.”

Ratna and Frita were seen chatting casually with Diana's father, and were very enthusiastic of course Frita. When Diana returned to the living room, she polled her with some questions about the process of writing her novel, her ideas, and so on.

Uncle Salim sat back in the seat at the end of the room and said, “It seems like sometime I and Aditya also want to go to Surabaya. See the mood there. Said Diana a lot of good food stalls, huh?”

“True, Sir. If you go to Surabaya, let us know. We will take you to the most favorite places to eat,” said Diana's father.

“Yes, hopefully we have time to go there,” said Aditya to look polite, even though he had no desire to Surabaya again like many years ago.

They also chat a lot, chattering, and clearly Ratna and Frita, as well as Yusi and Deri, rarely get the opportunity, because they are not involved in the topic of the chat. Mostly about Surabaya culinary and Diana's career journey only.

It didn't feel like two hours had passed, but the pickup car hadn't arrived yet.

“Wah, it looks like you are destined to be here longer,” chirped Uncle Salim while glancing at Aditya meaningfully.

Aditya can only laugh when Diana's father finally called the travel party and found out that the car was late because the tires leaked.

Ratna, who had planned to go home that day, because Garin's stomach had improved, decided to take Diana and her father to the terminal, to ride to another travel car.

That's how they split up. Aditya escorted Diana without saying, and Diana also said nothing when Aditya drove them to the porch of the house. Unexpectedly, Diana suddenly hugged Aditya and said thank you for doing ‘like that’ on Dirga the other day.

“You mean ‘like it’ what, Diana?” ask Aditya astonished.

“Antend him. I'm actually glad to see him get such a lesson. He has been too insolent, both to me and to the villagers here,” replied Diana.

Frita did not look jealous because he knew the events related to Dirga and who the figure of Diana was. They hugged the three, irritated Ratna in their hearts and rolled their eyes over the heart sign: Oh my goodness, you are already!

After the four of them left, now only Frita, Yusi, and Deri are still in Uncle Salim's house.

Uncle Salim wasn't very interested in talking to Frita. Even so, he was not as irritated as yesterday at the city girl. Uncle Salim instead looks familiar with Deri who was guarding him the last few days.

The pick-up for the three of them came tomorrow morning, so for another night the three guests stayed in the village. Because Frita is the only girl, she was asked to stay in the room of Pak RT's daughter who is still Junior High.

“Thank you, Mr. Bambang, already want us to repoti,” said Aditya after Frita entered the room with Pak RT's daughter.

“Ah, you could have. As fellow citizens, we have to help each other, right?” answer Mr. Bambang.

That night, Uncle Salim persuaded Aditya to agree to a proposal to go to Surabaya if he had time. It turns out that secretly when Aditya had gone to the WC when his stomach was sick, Uncle Salim also had a four-eye conversation with his father Diana in the kitchen.

The old man was completely unyielding in order to get a daughter-in-law of a girl he really liked.

The contents of the chat were delivered directly by Uncle Salim to him: “Dad Diana also agreed to this idea.”

“What idea, Uncle?”

“Start you guys,” says Uncle Salim.

Before Aditya refuted, Uncle Salim continued, “You should not be annoyed at this old uncle. We were just talking. Just pleasantries. If you don't want to, how else?”

“If I obviously can't, Uncle. Diana was like her own sister. He takes care of Uncle and I see him as a younger brother I have never had, ” Aditya said firmly.

“Yes, we will see later,” replied Uncle Salim while grinning, making his teeth that are no longer intact visible.

Aditya wanted to tell Uncle Salim the truth that Frita was already his soul mate. He decided to be with the girl and not the others. How can you convince your uncle? Even the uncle did not seem to like Frita.

The next day before Frita and two of Pandu Saputra's men returned to Bandung, Aditya told Frita, “We talk now to Uncle.”

“What's the problem?”

“Our matchmaking.”

Aditya's answer clearly made Frita flowery. Since yesterday he really can't make Uncle Salim like him. Frita knew that even though he had tried. He was no less deft when handling something like Diana who had received eternal praise from Uncle Salim. But why is it always looked at so sharply? But Frita thinks it's all about time.

He said, “You don't worry, Mas. Later also definitely Uncle will like me.” It's just a matter of time.”

Aditya believed Frita's words. The girl looked very confident when they finally met her uncle and delivered the wedding plans.

Uncle Salim was silent hearing that. Wordless.

Then, after five minutes, he said, “You sure? Since when do you know each other? I never got married, but marriage is sacred and serious.”

Aditya and Frita looked at each other and the young man said, “We are sure, Uncle. He's known to me for a long time. We argued with each other like me and Uncle. And maybe they hated each other. Hehe. But love can't lie.”

Frita pinched Aditya's stomach and smiled at his uncle.

Uncle Salim saw his nephew looking happy. Plus yesterday Diana's father had said Diana may already have a boyfriend that he kept secret, so he could not say no. Aditya may have been destined to be with the girl from this city.

“Alright, I give my blessing to you,” said Uncle.

Frita and Aditya look happy. Yusi and Deri were also happy and congratulated. They made an impromptu plan for Aditya and Uncle Salim to come to Bandung.

“Isn't Uncle curious about who I work with? Later I will introduce to old colleagues in the special forces,” said Aditya.

Uncle Salim could not resist. They left by helicopter like before. The vehicle was huge and incredible. The villagers marched outside the house and clapped as one of them tried the vehicle.

“Begini turns out to be a helicopter ride,” Inner Uncle feels to be the happiest man on earth.
