After finishing lunch together, they gathered near the swimming pool which is wider and cooler. Darren just quietly listened to the chat and only occasionally spoke it if asked. He felt inferior in the midst of the Annisa family. He looks wrong.
Annisa's house is very luxurious inversely proportional to my home. Ah, I'm so ashamed of Annisa, she already knows what my house looks like. Inner Darren.
Andre then asked Kevin to talk to each other.
"So Darren actually went to college there?" asked Andre curiously.
"Yes, Dre. At first she didn't want to but I kept persuading her she finally wanted to. At first he was only willing to take a diploma. It seems like it's because he's short on the cost of taking the S1" Kevin explained.
"Now he wants to, right?" ask Andre.
"I promised him a scholarship" Kevin replied.
"Scholarship? Do you still have a scholarship?" andre asked confused.
"Calm down, I'll try" said Kevin.
"Are you sure, Kev? Didn't you pay for college?" andre asked suspiciously.
"I'm going to work on that scholarship for Darren!"
"You're not lying, are you, Kev?"
"Dre, don't you trust me?"
"For Darren's trouble to get a scholarship soon, I doubt!"
Kevin's forehead wrinkled, "Dre?"
"You're the one who went to college with Darren, right?"
"Dre, I. . ."
"Let me cover the cost of his college. You just help him deal with his problems on campus!" Andre.
"But Dre, I can propose that scholarship to Darren!"
"OK, but before the scholarship goes down, I'll pay for it. Kev, after all, he's my brother! And his life was less fortunate than mine. Let me help her."
Kevin took a deep breath, "Ok, Dre. It's up to you."
"Thank you for helping him. I haven't talked much with him."
"Yes, I had helped Alya that day. You know that, right?" tanyaKevin's.
"Yes, I just found out from my wife about Alya being helped by Darren."
"Try if there was no Darren at that time either no one nolongin Alya. I don't know what will happen to Alya, I can't imagine" Kevin said, shaking his head.
"Yes. God is still protecting her,"
"Oh yeah, Dre. I want to talk to Alya first" said Kevin.
"Oh yes about Alya again. Are you serious about my sister?" andre asked as he looked at Kevin fixedly, looking for honesty there.
"In God, I'm serious, Dre. You agree, right?"
"Hhh, I agree that you really love my sister and I hope you can forget about your past!" Andre.
"It was buried years ago!"
"Hhmm, okay. I'm waiting for the next news" said Andre then approached Darren who was chatting with Annisa.
"Dek" said Andre then sat between Annisa and Darren.
"Hmm, mas," said Annisa in shock.
Darren looks wrong.
"Can you talk to Darren for a second?"
"However, mas," replied Annisa then rose from her seat leaving Darren and Andre there.
"Your wounds are completely healed?" ask Andre.
"Thank God, doc. Uh, mas," replied Darren nervously.
"Thank you, yeah. He helped Alya. You are a good boy" said Andre.
"It just so happened that I was there, Mom,"
"Oh, yes. Congratulations, you can go to the same university as Alya. He's not long at graduation."
"Yes, mas. It's also because Kevin got a scholarship."
Andre smiles. You are so different from your father. I hope you're always like this. So a good boy. Inner Andre.
"Hmm, if you need anything, say the same, yes!" said Andre.
"I-iya, mas" said Darren with his head lowered. She was deeply moved by the kindness of her mother's ex-husband's family.
"Yes, talk to Annisa again. But remember, it's forbidden to date!" Andre.
"A-what, mas? Wh-why? A-what because I. . ." Darren shocked. His face looks sad.
Andre chuckled, "Hahaaa, Anissa is still in school. Can't date yet."
Darren's face flushed with embarrassment.
"I-iya, mas" said Darren with a shy smile.
"You really like Annisa, hmm?"
Darren looked down, "I. . ."
"Think about your college. Your future is long. Annisa is going to college too. I'm not banning you from being close to him."
"Yes, my mom."
"Yes already, I live first," said Andre while patting Darren's shoulder slowly.
Meanwhile, Kevin was talking to Alya.
"Later tonight, yeah!"
"Hmm, where are you going?"
"I'd like to introduce you to my oma and aunt. Dinner there."
"W-what?"
"You, huh?" pinta Kevin with pleading face.
Alya nodded with her head down.
"I want to quickly marry you, Al!"
Alya looked up, "Ta-but I still want to find a job.
Kevin smiled, "We got married after you were at graduation, yes. One more month!"
"Why not too fast?" alya asked in shock. One more month it was a very short time.
"After you graduate, we'll be hard to meet. Want, huh?" persuade Kevin.
"Hhmm, I-I'm not ready, sir,"
"What's not ready yet? Your age is also well deserved, right!"
Alya looked down, she was in a dilemma, "Hhmm, I asked you first, yes,"
"If your father agrees then?"
"I-I will agree," Alya replied curiously.
Kavin smiles. Of course your father would agree, Al. Inner Kevin.
After a long chat, Kevin and Darren say goodbye with Andre who is going back to the hospital.
***
The night after the prayer, Alya was standing in front of the glass. Last afternoon had asked his father for permission that tonight, Kevin would introduce Alya to his oma and tantenya.
"Sir, what's the appearance of not being shy?" alya asked worriedly.
Alina, who was sitting on the side of the bed, stood beside her mother.
"Bak Alya is beautiful. Brother Kevin must be getting sticky, deh," praised Alina.
Alya's face flushed, "Does it, deck?"
Alina nodded her head, "Right, madam. Mbak looks fashionable with a blend of gamis and hijab, very suitable."
"You could have, deck!"
"Don't mean my darling!"
"Yes let's go down!" bring Alya.
When they just came down the stairs, Kevin was sitting with Andre in the living room.
"No, Kevin's brother can't wait to bring mbak," Alina's tease makes Alya's face redder.
Kevin was stunned to see Alya's appearance was different than usual.
"Mother Alya is so beautiful, brother Kevin. Not later when wearing bridal clothes, Kevin will be even more fascinated!" Alina seduces Kevin.
Kevin just smiled in response to Alina's joke.
"My brother's under guard, yeah. No one is scuffed!" joke Andre.
"Calm down" said Kevin, smiling.
Alya rolled her eyeballs. It's been scuffed, mas. This lip. Alya's mind then looked resentfully at Kevin.
