My Mom Wants to Mate

20. Daniel In Karen's Parents' Home

Karen secretly admires Daniel's handsome face and tall body.

The man went back to his food.

Karen glanced at Daniel who never spoke. "Niel?"

"Yes?"

"Ehm ... Have you worked in the Happy Family Hospital for a long time?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Don't you work there?"

"Enak" Daniel replied without seeing the interlocutor.

Duh Gusti, what am I talking about? (Karen).

"So how much did the doctor pay?" Karen started asking provoking questions.

Why ask for salary? (Daniel).

Daniel looked up and looked at Karen.

Yes it works, let's answer. (Karen).

"It's not proper to talk about salary."

Huh, shit! But I'm your future wife, shouldn't I have a salary? Come on, Ren, turn your brain around again, ask him what could make him talk at length. (Karen).

"Hmm, may you know, why would you want to be fooled by me?"

"Because .. my family asked me to get married."

"Keep, why did you choose me? Are there two candidates?"

"I don't know."

Did I choose wrong? He seems to have no interest in me. Let's not let him choose me using the method of counting clothes buttons. (Karen).

Not long after, Daniel packed up and prepared to go to the kagi hospital as the clock was already showing at 12:45. "I'm sorry, I went to the hospital first" Daniel said as he passed.

"Yes, heart-ha-" Not yet had Karen finished the sentence, Daniel was already far "the future husband ...."

Karen also returned to her office. On the way she kept agitated at the thought of her future husband.

I should want to get married it's something to be happy about, right? Why just meet a prospective husband it feels like hell gini huh? (Karen).

Arriving at the office, Karen went straight to Inda. "Cat Woman, I want to ask you something."

"What, Boss Black Widow? Seriously as it is."

Karen thought about how she could ask without being caught by Inda. "Ehm, the doctors we saw at the time of the grilled rice meal, you know what kind of person it is?"

"What's wrong, boss?"

"It's okay, just curious. The one with the glasses how's the guy?"

"Oh Doctor Dion, he's a nosy and ignorant man. I was told the same thing about my old boarding house." She looked at Karen. "Boss likes Doctor Dion? Don't you, boss, he's got a wife."

"No. If one? Doctor Nathan, whose husband gave you?"

"If he was that guy, he'd be a little messy. Uh, boss, really you know, don't be an actor."

"Geez, this is really just sociology and psychology research, don't think that weird. The other one how's the guy?"

"Doctor Daniel? That's not what I know."

Stump cockroaches! Mubazir nanya-nanya, where already in the words of the actor too! (Karen).

"Soni or Temen kos you never told me about him?"

Inda shakes.

Suddenly Karen's phone rang. Mami Seli called.

"Cat Woman, you out frame! There's an important phone."

"Ready, Boss Black Widow!"

📞"Hello Aunt."

📞"Karen, how was lunch? You guys talk a lot?"

📞"I-iya, Aunt. We talked a lot."

Lying, I'm the one who said it. Aunty Son kayak wall. Yes, I had lunch with the wall! (Karen).

📞"Thankfullaaah ya Lord."

📞"Anu Aunt, this is Karen, not God."

📞"Wahah, could it be you, Ren. The aunt was worried because Daniel was so quiet, but it's good that he'll talk to you."

📞"Hehehem, yes Aunt."

Mami Seli hung up.

Fyuh, my fate is why this is so. I used to have trouble getting a mate. Now it's in front of the eyes, uh the candidate is cute, diem so. (Karen).

Karen held her head and banged on the table quietly.

Outside the room, Inda had started to fidget because her boss had not told her to come in. He knocked on the door. A few times, no response. Inda is in.

"Black Widow boss, my God, why? Don't beat his head in pain" Inda said as she ran to prevent her boss from banging his head again.

The boss is friday again. (Industry).

"Hey, I'm Black Widow. This won't make me sick!"

But my heart hurts (. (Karen).

***

Karen arrives at her parents' house. Daniel's car was there. Before setting foot into the house, Karen stood at the door, closing her eyes, gathering all her acting skills to pretend to be happy.

After a long breath, no matter how much, he entered. Karen was surprised that only Daniel was there. The man was looking at the pictures of the Karen family on the wall.

"Eh .. hi, Niel."

Daniel raised his eyebrows.

"Where's Kendrik's mom?"

Daniel pointed inward.

"In the kitchen?"

Daniel nodded.

Couldn't anyone answer like humans in general? (Karen).

Karen went straight into the kitchen. "Mamaaa ...," Karen's long greeting to Mama Puri.

"Here, Ren, Icypin Mama's cooking!"

"Kok cook for himself? Don't buy it, Ma?" karen asked while tasting her mother's cooking.

"Today's the one who's having dinner with the future daughter-in-law, Mama's the one who's cooking."

Hearing the word 'prospective son-in-law', Karen's ears felt like flies. He immediately turned the eyeball upwards while scraping his ears with his index finger. Mama Puri did not realize that because her daughter had already inched backwards from the front of the stove.

"Which cricket?"

"So in the room. Uh, there, you make tea continue to chat first with Mama's favorite potential daughter-in-law, heheh."

"Dreams?"

"Yes dong, the first child husband who will invite you will be a favorite ghost."

Now, the word 'favorite ghost' makes Karen's ears itch again. He rubbed his ears.

"Why, Ren?"

"Itching, ma, there's a mosquito just now."

Karen obeyed her mother's order to make tea. He brought the tea to the living room. He found the future husband chatting with his younger brother.

"Oh, is this brother a doctor?" Kendrik was amazed by Daniel's profession.

Daniel nodded with a smile.

"What university was he at?"

"Vanguard University."

"Well, I went to college there too. Tos, Brother!" Kendrik raised his right hand into the air, greeted by the hand of Daniel who patted Kendrik.

Seeing that familiar interaction Karen smiled. It seemed, her beloved little brother liked the future sister-in-law.

Kendrik likes it? I will also try to love and love Daniel. (Karen).

"This is the tea, Niel." Karen interrupts Kendrik and Daniel's preoccupation.

Daniel nodded.

"Fry me, where do you make me?"

"Bikin' yourself!"

Kendrik went inside with a look of annoyed face. In the living room, Daniel and Karen live. They were silent for a moment.

I guess if I don't talk first, he won't talk. (Karen).

"Drink, Niel!"

Daniel drank his tea.

"Ehm, it's so fun that you talked to Ken."

Daniel nodded.

"Chat what?"

"Much."

Karen took a very long breath while looking at Daniel.

If you want to cancel this matchmaking is also okay, you look upset now. (Daniel).

Daniel resigned because he had experienced it. Getting married was something too lavish for her and too far beyond her reach. The doctor then grabbed a photo album located on a shelf under the living room table.

"Aren't you going to see a photo album?" Karen protested against Daniel's actions.

The doctor looked at Karen feeling strange. "This is in the living room means the owner of the house allows anyone to see this photo because the living room is the most public space in a house building."

Karen was amazed to hear Daniel speak for a long time for the first time.

Ha's? Not wrong with horrors? (Karen).
