My Complicated Love: Triangle Love + You

S2: Papa's Interrogation

"I ... Not not ready yet. Yeah, I mean ... "

"Yes, that's it ... Don't talk about it, I know you're not ready to be with me"

"But ... "

"Said it already"

'Bri ... I don't doubt how to accept you. It's about our different way of life'

I fell silent when Brian seemed uninterested in my explanation, even his tone just now seemed to indicate disappointment. The way he spoke was very short and looked cold.

A moment later he took me back to walk, to the nearest restaurant in the middle of the sea area close to the beach. Dinner went on as usual without further conversation about our relationship or anyone involved in our matters. That's all that's revealed ... I dare not ask again.

It had been ten o'clock at night, we had just reached home from a bland journey. Papa was seen sitting on the floor waiting for our arrival.

"Bri! ... Papa!"

I patted her on the arm as we arrived and parked the vehicle right on the side of the road in front of my house. Apparently, Papa had been waiting for us who had been playing cat-cats to avoid meeting Brian with him.

"Yes, then why. Let's get out"

Brian had a flat expression, not surprised at all, he even chose to go out and greet Papa, regardless of his condition.

We walked towards the house, getting closer to Papa who looked indifferent to our arrival.

"Assallamualaikum, Papa hasn't slept?"

"Good night, Om." Brian said hello.

"Vaalaikumsalam. If Papa wants to sleep at night why?" he answered me, and looked back at Brian, "yes, night. What time are you from the office? every day you go home tonight"

"Eh ... We ... "I tried to explain, but Brian quickly cut me off.

"We're having dinner first, Om. Sorry to make Susan come home late" Brian explained.

"Yes, but occasionally ... Don't always come home tonight, it's not good for your health. You are also not well seen by this person. Both of you, coming home at night, there's an ethic of her bringing girls"

My heart feels like it's coming out. Papa who spoke a little like this suddenly talked loudly with people he rarely met. Maybe this time, it's not Papa's fault. He was just trying to keep his daughter from a foreign man who became his son's lover.

"Yes sorry, Om. Next time we'll let you know if you're going anywhere" Brian replied.

"Yes 'Pa. Eeeeh ... Brian also wants to go straight home"

"Later first. Brian, you got a minute?"

"Yes. Uh ... Sure, 'Om"

"Susan, make Brian some tea. And coffee for Papa"

"Don't bother, 'Om. Water only" added Brian.

"Hmmm. Yeah, it's there, Susan"

"Yes, 'Pa ... "

Brian looked at me and nodded small. His gaze seemed to signal that he was capable of facing Papa, and I didn't have to worry about him. I know he's good at talking. But, in this case I don't know ... I think it's about our relationship.

I walked in and stole a little hear from behind the window.

"What time are you from the office?"

"About five o'clock, 'Om. I picked her up in time to Susan's office"

"So long trip and dinner? You ... What's work now, Brian?"

"I ... Still active as counselor 'Om"

'Brian did not want to say much about what he did so far, but a lot of work' my inner self when he heard Brian's answer.

"Then?"

"Not much, Om. While taking care of the NGO"

"WINDY? Moving for??"

"Our NGO mission ... Prefer to the protection of children and women victims of violence, 'Om. Some of us are trying to be a forum for the aspirations of the lower middle class people, even without there being a political laden in it, we avoid it"

"good. But is that promising enough for the future 'Dek Brian himself?"

"For that matter, Iaa ... Try gradually cultivating other areas. I will not rule out the financial need for my future, Om. Surely" Brian smiled slightly.

"alright. Plan everything carefully. I honestly wouldn't close my eyes if it was Susan. 'Dean Brian must understand why I'm asking about this."

"Very understanding, Om. I don't mind."

"I'm a little worried about you two. Sorry, in our family, commitment and goals are important, especially considering your age is quite mature compared to Susan. His career is not much."

"I've always supported Susan, 'Om. Even though our age is quite far apart, all this time I tried to keep pace between his career needs and as a couple"

"But I haven't seen the seriousness of 'Dek Brian himself, I waited from yesterday to talk like this, baby."

"I'm willing when 'Om back to talk to me like this, I'll try to always take time."

"Okey, we can continue later. But there's one more thing I want to ask you"

"Yes, how's 'Om?"

"So seriously what are you with my son"

"Ehhhh ... I made sure my and Susan's seriousness to 'Om and the family. If later I make a mistake or even act excessively, please rebuke me. My reference is a provision from my partner's parents, I don't want to disappoint at all"

"How are your own parents?"

"Iyaa ... Stay with my Uncle here. Coincidentally ...my parents did not live in Indonesia, and it was just my own Mother. My father's been gone since I was a kid"

"Your biological brother?"

"Single child? But being away from the nuclear family is not easy"

"I've been used to it since I was a kid far away, because that's all my late father said, Om."

"Yes already. Had been ... I don't think I talked much about this. I just broke something ... I know, 'Dek Brian gave a ring to my son. Does that mean a binder? "

"Eeeh yes, Om. But it's just a ... Just a regular gift, not anything "

"Ordinary giving, don't you think. for such an expensive thing is it true that you just take it as ordinary?"

"Thuu ... I memaaang ... Uhaeh ..."

Brian seemed confused to be stuck alone with his words, I reappeared cutting their conversation to help Brian think for a moment.

" 'Pa, is the sugar a little or a lot?"

Papa looked quickly at me.

"You haven't done anything yet?"

"Eh, yes. Abis from the bathroom first, 'Pa"

Brian was seen sighing slowly and then looking at me.

"Why not made?" Papa looked at me signalling not to disturb.

"Eh, yes it is normal ... Scroll a little"

I walked in with a high level of tension, Papa looked serious and resolute this time.

POV AUTHORS

Brian seemed to doubt this time, what he gave Susan was indeed not an ordinary item of value. How does he explain if it is just a meaningless gift from a man who is not from class, while his confession is just a simple person is not much different from the life of his lover.

"Where, 'Dek Bri?"

"Eeeh, actually it was my savings all along, Om. I have a relationship working in the store that sold the ring and ... It was my luck that he gave me a good price. I just want Susan to have it, when else, right 'Om? Hehe" Brian sounded awkward.

"Hmmm cliche is actually for me. Well, but whatever you're working on I guess ... I don't need to know to what extent. All I have to make sure is that my son did not choose the wrong one. It is better to be with people who are not carelessly dating and have a purpose"

"I'm sure to try to fit in 'Om and family expect." Brian smiled reassuringly to Papa.

"This ... We're talking to each other, you know, understand what I mean"

"Yes, I understand 'Om"

'It turns out like this in the interrogation of prospective in-laws, a little miss answer can be very dangerous' inner Brian.

"Think carefully if you want to be serious, there are many things outside the match that you need to understand. If from 'Om himself enough to look at you well, beyond that all I do not know what you are like"

"Yes, 'Om. Thank ye. Maybe in some other way I'll try to talk to Susan"

Susan came to bring coffee and a glass of water for Brian and his Papa, some other things were also discussed between the two of them without involving Susan at all.

It seems that Papa is trying to be convinced by Brian's seriousness, his calm attitude and satisfactory answer while this is enough to reduce Papa's concerns, beyond all they are both human, but they are both human, who could have failed to have a mediocre relationship.

Susan drove Brian to his car, Susan standing right next to the steering wheel door where Brian was inside and opened the window for a moment to speak.

"Happy today? Because of you? Haha"

"Satisfied, what? ... I haven't received a bonus from my answer yet"

"And you're badmood again"

"Well, how can I not be badmood?"

"What yes, hmmm ... Here"

Just now Susan's head was slightly getting into the inside of the car through the window, about to approach Brian who was grabbing his face. A strong call from inside the house knocked the two of them off.

"Saaan!" Shouted Papa who was still behind the window.

"Ahhh shoot to gap!" susan said, "Yes 'Paaaa .. " cried Susan towards Papa.

"Hahaha, haduuuhhh this is what it's like to hide"

"Parents want us to be straight 'Bri, where they know you're still pubescent like this"

"Loh, I didn't ask for anything"

"Muna' basic, what was the bonus try"

"Yeah ... Yes, a bonus, yes"

"There, hus hus ... Home"

"Oh yeah, I only got this dream"

"Yeeee ... Go there, tell me if you've arrived!"

"Yes Dear, just wait. I won't tell you, let you miss it"

Another call from within.

"Saaaan, it's late!!"

"Belgium ... Iyaaaa .. " said Susan.
