After dinner, Gea chose to be alone in her room. Brian and his parents are watching new television together. Gea peeks briefly at the closeness of Brian and his parents. Then he sat back on the bed hugging his knees. Trying to recall his meeting with Brian for the first time.
Gea grieving. ''I can be fooled. I should have realized he was rich.''
But Gea recalled all of Brian's sacrifices to him. Where when Gea had an accident and when Nino's gang arrested him even almost himself in rape. All her kindness and safety with Brian flashed through her mind beautifully. And in this very second, Brian with his true self still loves him and also loves his family. Gea couldn't be fooled by feeling the same way about Brian, but Gea was afraid to go further.
''Ah, stop. I'm confused.'' Mumbled. And that night Gea chose to sleep alone. There is a sense of annoyance also because both parents are getting closer to Brian.
The next day as usual, Gea was busy in the kitchen to prepare breakfast. My mom and dad went nowhere. Brian just woke up. Smelling the aroma of cooking, Brian rushed towards the kitchen. Brian grinned, looking at Gea himself in the kitchen.
''Good morning to the future wife.'' Greet Brian cheerfully as always. Gea just kept quiet while continuing her cooking. Brian approached and gave a peck on Gea's cheek.
''BRIAN!" Angry Gea.
''Why ''Why? You are my future wife. You better cook a lot because Papa and Mama will go home to propose to you officially.'' Said Brian while winking his flirtatious eyes. Brian then passed to take a shower immediately.
''So his parents are coming? Well how is this?'' muttered Gea while continuing to cook. Soon, Mr. Hana and Mr. Hendi came with a lot of groceries.
''Brian is up, Ge?'' ask Ms. Hana.
''Even Brian was asked, not his own son.'' Upset Gea.
''Yes dong. Kan Brian's favorite daughter-in-law of Mother.''
''Gea, today Brian's parents are coming. I hope you can be polite with them. Don't make Mom and Dad ashamed.''
''Yes-yes Well.''
''Now we finish cooking yes because in an hour they will be there soon.'' Said Ms. Hana.
''What-what Mom? Another hour?'' Gea was suddenly nervous.
''Yes Gea. They came here specifically for you. Be careful if you disappoint them. I'll be angry with you.'' Threaten Ms. Hana.
''H Mother, same child himself playing threatening.'' Upset Gea.
Finally, all the dishes have been presented on the table with complete. Not to forget the traditional cake snacks that Gea's parents have prepared to welcome the arrival of the prospective iron.
...****************...
''Papa-Mama!" brian exclaimed as he hugged his parents who had just arrived.
''Oh the bontotnya the most handsome Mama.'' Madam Dira peed her son's cheeks.
''This is the home of the woman you love?'' sahut Mr. Keenan.
''Yes Pah. In Pah!"
''You are an adult now.'' Said Mr. Keenan while rubbing the head of his youngest son. Brian then took his parents into the house. There Gea and her parents are ready to welcome Brian's parents.
''Assalamualaikum,'' greet Madame Dira with her kindness.
''Waalaikumsalam. Ladies and gentlemen welcome to our hut.'' Said Mr. Hendi who welcomed his iron candidate.
''Pah-Mah, this is Pak Hendi and Bu Hana, both parents of Gea.'' Brian introduced his future father-in-law to both of his parents. They then shake hands with each other.
''I'm Dira, Brian's Mama.''
''We are also very happy to meet you, gentlemen.'' Connect Mr. Hendi. Gea then shakes hands, peeping the backs of Brian's parents' hands.
''Om-Tante, how are you?''
''We are good Gea.'' Madame Dira answered while stroking Gea's head.
''Let's sit down, gentlemen. And this is all we can offer.'' Said Mr. Hendi.
''Ah it's okay, Mister.'' Answer Mr. Keenan.
''Ladies, before we chat, how about we have breakfast first? You must not have had time to eat breakfast after a long trip.'' Tawar Bu Hana's. Mr. Keenan and Mrs Dira glanced at her son. Brian gave a nod code. Because Brian was the one who whined asking both parents to come to propose to Gea immediately.
''Alright, of course Madame Hana.'' Answer Madame Dira.
''Alright then we go straight to the dining room first.'' Continue Ms. Hana.
''Chat while eating seems more relaxed too, '' said Mr Keenan.
''Yes Mr.'' Sahut Pak Hendi's. Now all four of them were sitting in a simple dining room. There are various food menus available there. There are grilled gurami, chicken soup, snapper and lalapan gulai.
''This is how the cuisine in the village, Gentlemen. Just like.'' Said Ms. Hana who felt sad with Brian's parents. The appearance of the two was enough to show that they were a wealthy and distinguished family.
''I love this kind of food, It's just .'' Madam Dira said enthusiastically.
''Fish the teacher is appetizing once huh.'' Mr. Keenan.
''Yes Sir. Because we took it from the fish pond directly. I happen to take care of the farm." Sahut Pak Hendi's.
"Well, you're great, sir
Must be good fish because it must be fresh."
"Definitely Mr. Please Sir, no need to hesitate." Said Mr. Hendi.
"Mah, please get me the fish. Put away the flesh and bones." Pinta Mr. Keenan is always spoiled from the first.
"Yes Pah, you haven't changed. Always eat that fish." The affection of Mr. Keenan and Mrs Dira invited the attention of Gea and her parents. They also felt how happy and simple Mr. Keenan and Mrs Dira were.
"I'm sorry Mr. Hendi-Nyonya Hana. This is how Brian's father behaves."
"It's okay, madam. Her name also serves the husband." Timpal Bu Hana with his little laugh. Brian then ate the Gea sitting across from him. Imagine his old days with Gea who is always compact and romantic like his parents. After finishing eating while chatting lightly, now they all turned to the living room. Talk about the purpose and purpose of their arrival as Brian's parents. Prepare to explain what really happened.
''Ladies and gentlemen, so our arrival here is to propose to your daughter, Miss Gea for our son. We also apologise for what happened before. Moreover, it has made Miss Gea very disappointed and hurt because she already felt lied.'' Mr. Keenan started his chat very formally.
''This brian is our youngest son. And our only unmarried son too. We have two daughters and two sons. Our first daughter, Queen, lives in London with her husband and children. The second was our son, Arsen, Miss Gea's boss in the office. Belinda got married just a few months ago and is now on her honeymoon. While Brian is the youngest who is quite difficult to manage as well. She grew up in Korea, after High School until her studies in London. So after she graduated college, we asked her to live a simple, independent life and leave all the facilities we gave her. Our rented house provided it. So we didn't know that there was Miss Gea in the house next door either. Moreover, Brian is a man who does not deserve if he is spoiled so our goal is to make him an independent man, tough and responsible. Although at first he did not feel at home because he was used to living with all the luxuries. And it turns out that her encounter with Miss Gea made her understand what life really means. Moreover, this Brian is our last son, there is definitely a spoiled side in him.'' Obviously Mr. Keenan is at length. Hearing the story and the ins and outs of Mr. Keenan's family, it certainly makes Gea's parents know that his future ironclad is indeed a conglomerate. Of course there was a sense of insecure in Gea's heart and both of her parents.
''But ladies, forget all that. We as Brian's parents, strongly accept Gea as our daughter-in-law. For us Brian's happiness is everything. All we have is a deposit, gentlemen. Seeing Gea made me remember my youth. I also used to work anything to earn money, which is important halal. I also went to school while working especially I only lived with my Dad because my Mom was dead. So I also once felt bitter and fell awake to fight for life. Gea, Mr. Hendi-Nyonya Hana, we're all the same. Before God, we make no difference. So we hope you will also accept any shortcomings of Brian. And to be honest for the first time in his life, Brian brought a woman home and introduced her to us. And that's you Gea.'' Continued Mrs Dira who tried hard to convince the hearts of Gea and her parents. The two parents exchanged looks.
''We, as Gea's parents, knew from the beginning who Brian really was, we accepted Brian for what he was. We think Brian is a good guy and a hard worker. Moreover, Brian was also the first man that Gea brought home.'' Connect Mr. Hendi.
''And after knowing who Brian really wants us to worry about the Gentlemen. We are afraid of being considered to take advantage of the situation. Given us this is just an ordinary person and you are a very respected person.'' Sahut Bu Hana's.
''Don't have such thoughts Madam Hana. There is no such thing as taking advantage of circumstances or anything. So please, never have such thoughts.'' Said Madam Dira.
''Yes Madam. We are very sincere to make Gea our daughter-in-law.'' Timpal Mr. Keenan.
