AUTHOR POV
Dave and Teddy have arrived at his house.
“Assalamu’alaikum” Dave greeted when he had entered the living room. He walked with Teddy. His tired face, his clothes were crumpled, and the jass he was holding in his arms revealed just how exhausting it was today for him.
By the time he had reached the dining table, there had gathered all the members of his family.
“You're home, son? Want to eat directly or want to take a shower first?” ask Mommy.
Dave glanced at the figure of a tiny woman who was pacing back and forth preparing food at the dining table. He didn't answer his mother's questions. Whether it was because his attention was being diverted to the figure, or was it because he did not want to answer it.
Dave just stood dumbstruck on the deck of the chair he used to sit on while eating together. Everyone noticed it while the one who was noticed was paying attention to someone else. Now everything there followed Dave's eyes. They're trying to draw conclusions about Dave's eyes.
Dave's eyes seemed to hint that he misses the little woman so much. These few days he doesn't pay much attention to it. Tired today as if lost unraveled because he could look back at it. But there was a thumping feeling as well when he realized what he was going to do tomorrow. How will he react later?
Mommy then stands up to Dave, nudges his arm and whispers “You like him?”
Sontak Dave turned to his Mommy and glared. He looked at the woman who had given birth to him. Then the woman with eye sign language, winked her eyes while nodding, as if saying ‘I tau’. Realizing that, Dave immediately pulled up a chair and sat down.
“I'm so hungry. I want to eat right away, Mom” Dave looked up at his Mommy who is currently standing next to him.
Then Mommy nodded, walked up to her chair and sat down.
“Narita, please prepare a plate for my son!”
“Baik” replied Narita then he rushed to the pantry and took the plate.
Narita was about to put the plate on Dave's front desk, but Mommy immediately said “You bring him food!”
Hearing the order, Narita rushed to get the rice, vegetables, and side dishes served. Narita picked it up without asking Dave first about the portions and anything he wanted to eat. After he filled the empty plate with food, he immediately handed it to Dave.
Meanwhile, Dave seemed to be smiling with satisfaction as Narita painstakingly took him food. But his eyes suddenly glared when Narita took it with a portion of jumbo, until the plate was full.
What the fuck? Does he think I'm clumsy? How could I spend that much food? – inner Dave.
“Please!” Narita hands food to Dave without seeing Dave.
Dave thought that Narita was daydreaming. Even though his body is here but it seems like his mind is out of nowhere. Dave's eye tails still follow Narita's movements that begin to move away from the dining room.
“Wait Narita!” hearing her name called, Narita immediately stopped, turned back and looked in wonder at Dave.
“You want to make me a ball?” dave's question made Narita mlongo while saying “Ha?”
“Dave lifted his plate and showed it to Narita. Everyone at the dinner table, immediately stopped his eating movements and stared alternately at Dave and Narita.
They had already guessed there would be anger there.
“Darling, be it,, if that is most, we just get rid of it now!”
Narita realizes his mistake of immediately taking the plate that was in Dave's hand.
“Sorry, you want to be reduced by how much?” Narita looked at Dave. Dave who was stared at by Narita did not answer but smiled.
“Maaf” Narita instantly takes his hand off that plate.
“Ted, get me a seat!” Teddy got up from his seat and immediately took out an empty chair and placed it next to Dave. Realizing the empty space next to him was quite small, Dave slightly stood up and moved his chair. The movement certainly caused a small movement Narita because he had to move from there immediately.
“Who told you to go?” realizing Dave was talking to her, Narita stopped his steps. His view seems confused because of Dave's unusual attitude.
Everyone at the dinner table is still watching Dave and Narita. Davis though lazy but he was also curious about her brother's behavior.
“Sit! Let's eat!” everyone mlongo when Dave thrust his plate into Narita.
Dave handed his spoon to Narita while he ate with a fork. Narita who did not understand Dave's intention, just sat with his right hand holding the spoon. Still glued to the spot.
Everyone at the dinner table is aware of Dave's orders. Yes Dave wants Narita to eat a plate with him.
Dave had already taken some food and chewed it casually, while the others were still staring at Dave and Narita in surprise. Aware of being stared at by everyone there, Narita only dared to duck.
“I hope tomorrow Mommy, Daddy, Opa, Davis, and Jess are at the press conference venue” Dave's voice breaks the silence of the dining table atmosphere.
Because of that voice, finally everyone returned with his eating activities. But not the case with Narita, he still lowered his head with his hands under the table holding a spoon.
“It's definitely a darling. We'll support you. You need to solve this problem soon. Scandals like this do not have a good impact on our company and family” said Mommy.
“What do Daddy need to help, Dave?” ask Daddy.
“There is no Dad. All Dave has overcome” Dave then turned to Opanya who happens to be his Opinion is staring at him. For a long time they had been staring at the two.
“Tomorrow Dave will announce Dave's proposal to someone Dave loves a lot” continued Dave who suddenly made all glare at Dave.
Dave only smiled and occasionally glanced at Narita who was still in a lowered mode.
“Can Mom, Dad, Opa?” Dave threw a question at the three people he called.
“Sure, Dear. Mommy's happy that you finally found the woman you love!”

In the workspace, Dave, Teddy, and Opa are already in it.
“Opa, please this time Opa follow Dave's will. Dave can't possibly do anything to endanger our company and our family!” Dave opened his voice when they had been on the sofa of the study.
Opa smiled smirk as if knowing what Dave's plan was. He didn't answer anything.
“We've spoken to him. We are sure, he will follow our game.” Teddy.
“Do you threaten Opa, Dave? What would you do if Opa refused?” Opa was too tired to talk.
“I'm not a bad boy, Opa. But please Opa also do not interfere too much in my personal affairs. Opa is old enough, enough Opa just play with the great-grandson Opa!” sahut Dave's.
“If you or Davis give Opa a great-grandson, Opa will stop and retire to interfere again!”
Dave smiled smirk then said “Deal!” Dave stood up and stretched out his hand to be held in his eyes. Opa immediately welcomed Dave's hand. They shake hands because of a business deal.
