Not Always Beautiful

7. Adrian Dzaky Pratama's

These few days Papa managed to make me very busy, to the point of ignoring the phone from Meera, three days had to supervise the construction in Surabaya which was just a few more stages so as not to make a mistake, because if there is a mistake we have to repeat everything from the beginning again and it will take a long time. I deliberately chose the morning flight home so that I could rest longer at home later, the plan is I will see Meera tonight, she must be very upset because I ignored her.

At 9:25 I have arrived home, seen Papa was chatting with someone in the living room, it was Mr. Sigit he Papa confidant.

" Assalamualaikum "

" Waalaikumsalam has arrived, yes it's there rest must be tired"

" Yes Pah, I'm in, let's go Sigit"

" Yes Adrian sir, have a good rest"

Mama came up to me and took over my briefcase, I kissed the back of her hand and said goodbye to the room, I was really tired. Arriving in the room I immediately spread my body without changing my clothes, it did not take long I fell asleep.

Tok tok tok tok

" Drian woke up, already dzuhur prayer used to keep eating" that's Mama's voice

" Yes ma"

I went straight to the bathroom to clean myself, finished bathing and dressed for prayer I immediately fulfilled my obligation.

" Drian hasn't prayed yet, let's eat"

" Oh ma, come" I don't forget to take this woman who took care of me

" Mommy's getting pretty" she smiled

" You're exactly your Papa the carpenter"

Papa was waiting for us at the dinner table and we ate quietly, yes we were not used to the chatter at the dinner table. After eating we continued chatting in the living room.

" How is the construction of the dri"

" Current pa, I'm sure I can finish on time"

" If Meera how" this time mama asked

" Meera called a few times, but I didn't have time to answer"

" then"

" I'll see her tonight ma, mama take it easy"

" Thank God"

" Your mother really likes Meera Dri" whispered papa who can still hear Mama

" I know Pa" Mama just smiled

************

I arrived at Om Danang's house at 8:00

" Assalamualaikum" there is no answer

Tok tok " Assalamualaikum"

" Waalaikumsalam, uh Adrian let's come in, please sit down to drink what?"

" Aunty anything"

" Wait a minute, auntie make you drink all call om"

" Yes aunty" not long after Danang came

" Adrian is home, I heard you were in Surabaya, let's sit down"

" Yes, I just got home this morning, um how are you?"

" Om good, how is your Papa Mama healthy?"

" Please have a drink, son of Adrian"

" Thank you aunt, oh yes om Meera there was time in Surabaya I did not have time to answer Meera's phone"

" Meera went to watch with her friends, son, if only Adrian's phone om would have told Meera at home"

" It's okay om, let me follow, then I'm sorry about aunt"

" Yes son, be careful on the road" I say goodbye to catch up with Meera, do not forget to ask permission to go home late I might take Meera for a walk for a while.

The Mall

I went straight to the cinema once I got to where many people spend a lot of time shopping or just eating, I saw 3 girls coming out of the studio saw 2 girls laughing satisfied while 1 even had a sour face but still beautiful. It was Meera and her friends I knew named Caca and Tya, Meera realized my arrival whether what 2 girls say Meera instead smother their mouths with an embracing position.

I took them to eat, finished Caca and Tya said goodbye to go home first I know they must have deliberately given time for me and Meera.

" Want to go for a walk, I've asked om and aunty for permission, you don't have to worry"

Meera just nodded and followed me behind. I took him to the city park, I'm gonna tell you a lot tonight, it won't take us long to get to the city park.

" You sit down I want to buy a drink first" I forgot to buy it at the Mall earlier, he nodded, obedient girl.

I came back with a drink and some snacks. Not been able to sit

" It's ready to tell"

" wow wait a minute girl, I haven't even sat down" I'm sitting on her right damping.

" Do you remember the first time we visited your house?" he nodded

" Papa told me earlier that we were going to your house, the purpose was to introduce me and you, to you, this is the 4th time papa introduced me to his friend's girl and you're the only one I like"

" then"

" Are you this stupid?"

" I really don't understand"

hmmmmm I took a deep breath

" well, you remember dinner at my house, when you went to the bathroom the parents were talking about our matchmaking, we were getting engaged next month, this is what I mean by seeing you more often, remember?"

" i remember, then why don't you refuse this match, and what about the previous one?"

" i love my parents so much, especially Mama, she likes you so much, first introduction she's a model and I know how the life of the models I don't like, secondly he's my age he's so aggressive I'm afraid, third he's probably your age but very childish, he's, fourth you and mama like you so much I can't resist but I won't force it all on you either" this time he fell silent, probably digesting my explanation

" i'm accepting this matchmaking, I'm going to talk to Mom and Dad like they like you too"

" Thank God, now I'm gonna take you home or...."

" we finish this food first, then drive me home"

" well girl, like you said"

We spent the night with a lot of chatter, he told me a lot about his family and friends from here I know he never had a special relationship with any man, I will be first and foremost her husband.

The time is getting late, I immediately drove her home even though she had asked permission to go home late is still not good if waiting too late.

At 22:40 until his home, without much conversation I immediately decided to go home
