All of Brian's cooking was neatly arranged on the dining table. The smell went all over the room. It makes anyone who sees and smells feel hungry.
''Boy Brian, it turns out you are smart to cook. What is this cooking?''
''It's a sweet sour gourami, ma'am. And this is a regular kale saute. From the hanga made into default, it's a pity.''
''Oh my goodness you are, you are handsome, you are cooking again.'' Said Bu Hana who was so proud to have a candidate like Brian.
''You shouldn't bother like this.'' Sahut Gea's.
''It's okay Ge. This is all I can do for you.''
''Assalamualaikum!" the voice of a man.
''Waalaikumsalam, '" replied Gea and Bu Hana simultaneously.
''Dad!" exclaiming Gea poured into his father's embrace.
''Gea, my son!" exclaim Mr. Hendi.
''I'm sorry Dad, I just got home.''
''It's all right. You are working. I'd like to know that Dad is with you.''
''Gea is also Yah.''
''If it was like this, Gea looked cute and spoiled. His ferocious attitude instantly disappeared.'' Brian murmured in his heart. Pak Hendi's gaze then focused on the figure of the glasses man, Brian.
''Who is he, Gea?'' ask Mr. Hendi. Gea approached Brian, pulling his arm to face his father.
''This is Brian, Dad. Mmmm she's Gea's boyfriend.'' Gea said shyly.
''Boyfriend?'' Mr. Hendi frowned.
''I'm Brian, Om. I like Gea, daughter of Om.'' Say Brian as formally as possible. Brian even boldly expressed his feelings for Gea's father. Mr. Hendi did not answer because he was still confused by his daughter who suddenly brought home a man.
''We'd better eat first, Dad. Continue talking later, hunt the food cold.'' Sela Bu Hana's.
''Yes-yes because Dad is hungry.''
''This is Brian's cooking, Dad.'' Showing off to Bu Hana.
''Hmmm a man can cook?'' Mr. Hendi was surprised.
''Just cook it properly, Om. Mother's hand was injured by a knife so I replaced her.'' Obviously Brian.
''Yes Father. Though it was so until here to Brian drunk land. Uh but still want to help Mom.'' Said Ms. Hana who favored Brian.
''Come on, eat first.'' Sahut Gea's. The four of them sat at the dinner table.
''Hmmmmmmm this is delicious. This time I ate this. Like in restaurants.'' Ms. Hana said with such enthusiasm.
''Son of Brian. I just can't cook like this.'' Gea Saying.
''Thank you.'' Brief Brian.
''It's delicious but Dad prefers his fish in fried as usual, same sambal lalapan.'' Said Mr. Hendi. The words of Mr. Hendi, make the joy of Gea, Ms. Hana and also Brian immediately disappear. The lunchtime atmosphere turned tense. It even ended up tense. Mr. Hendi went straight to the backyard, sat on a rattan bench to rest for a while before returning to the rice fields.
''Dad,''
''Hmmmm, what is Gea?'' ask Mr. Hendi. Gea sat down next to her father.
''Dad is the same as Brian. She's been good helping me.''
''You're sure of him?''
''Sure enough, Dad. He's very nice.''
''A lot of people are nice but just pretend.''
''But Brian is not like that Dad.''
''Do you know his family background?''
''Not yet, Dad. After this Brian will introduce me to his parents.''
''What if your parents disagree with you? We are only villagers and ordinary people like this.''
''He's just like us, Dad. He's my office-worker, Dad. He's also a foreigner. He can also get a scholarship.''
''What makes you sure about him?''
''He wants to fight for Gea, Dad. He was very polite, not like a man in general. He takes care of Gea. Gea understood Dad's worries.''
''But Dad, don't be fierce. Poor him, Dad.''
''After all, you don't defend him. Let us talk as a man.''
''Yes-yes. This father.'' Gea a little annoyedly left her father to call Brian. Turns out Brian was in the kitchen helping Ms. Hana do the dishes. The two looked familiar and joked.
''Looks like I've clipped Brian. They are equally happy to be a frequency. I hope you like Brian.'' Gea murmured in the heart.
''Brian!" call Gea.
''Eh, what's up Ge?''
''Called Dad tuh.'' Gea Saying. Brian looked at Bu Hana, Bu Hana nodded with a smile. So that Brian does not hesitate to face Mr. Hendi.
''It turns out this is how it feels to ask for the blessing of the parents of the woman we love.'' Brian murmured in his heart. Brian mustered all his courage to meet Gea's father.
''Om,''
''Sit Brian.'' Pinta Pak Hendi's. Brian sat down next to Gea's father.
''Are you serious about Gea?''
''Very seriously, Om.''
''What makes you love my daughter?''
''Just this time I didn't find it even took no reason to love Gea. All I know is, I just love Gea.''
''If you are serious, never hurt Gea. He is very valuable to us, his parents.''
''I wouldn't do that, Om.''
''Actually as a father, of course I have concerns. Because Gea has trauma.''
''Gea told me everything, Om. When we were friends. She's an honest girl and what she is.''
''Thank goodness Gea told me that. When you are young, look for the future first. You know, this Gea is just an ordinary village girl.''
''I understand, Om. What is clear is that I came here to see Om and Mom to ask for their blessing. I will also save for our future. I guarantee Gea will never lack anything.''
''I love your spirit, young man. So take care of Gea. Keep him there and don't touch my daughter.''
''Sure Om. I will guard and protect his honor.''
''Alright if you are serious with Gea, follow me to the rice fields.''
''Huh? The rice field? Un-for what Om?'' Brian was shocked by Mr. Hendi's request.
''Yes to plough the fields. So you know how Gea's parents work.'' Said Mr. Hendi while embracing Brian's shoulder.
''Ouch, die! I've been to the fields. Hmmmm how is this? Just imagine never.'' Brian murmured in his heart.
''Yes, let's go! But change your clothes first. Wear shorts and t-shirts only.''
''I-iya Om.''
''Don't call Om. Just call Dad. Strange it feels like the villagers are called Om.''
''Yes Om, uh Dad. I change clothes first.'' Brian then went into the room that Gea had prepared. Gea followed Brian into the room.
''What do you want, Gea? If Mom and Dad knew how?'' Brian was astonished, Gea went into the room.
''Oh ge-er, who would want to do anything. I just want to ask, how is Dad?''
''The green light. I can convince your father.''
''Oh thank goodness.'' Gea stroked his chest.
''Yes, I want to change clothes.''
''Where are you going?''
''Dad took me to the rice field.''
''Huh? To rice fields?''
''Yes Gea. It's out there.''
''But what can you do?''
''Yes, I am also from the village. It must be whispered, hehehe.''
''Oh yes already, the spirit yes.'' Gea said as she patted Brian on the shoulder. Brian just nodded with a big smile. A smile of falsehood (hahahaha).
