Our Love Destiny

Chapter 23

"Hey sleepyhead, we'll be up soon."

"Mmm" I blinked my eyes, my back was sore, it seemed like I was asleep all the way, "Where are we?"

"According to the GPS we'll be up to about half an hour."

Aldrian turned out to be quite adept at driving a car, I was worried because I would travel far and was driven by a teenager, he said, most of the teenagers were driving recklessly but Aldrian was driving at a moderate speed and also felt comfortable, I even fell asleep in the car.

"You're not tired? Don't you want to rest first? You've been driving for two hours." I was worried, I could sleep and rest in the car while Aldrian from since we left had not rested in the least.

"Let's be there soon, and I'll rest at your house." He answered while turning the wheel to the left.

"Yes, huaamm." I yawned and got ready to go to bed again before Aldrian suddenly changed the pop music that was the background of our trip into rock music with a high volume.

"Gusti, fast very." I said while covering my ears.

"You want to make it good to sleep again, right? Don't expect to sleep well again."

It turns out that Aldrian deliberately changed the music and raised the volume so that I could not sleep, but it was only half an hour left also we arrived, after all, I had been sleeping to avoid any awkwardness between us, just imagine, we both traveled for two and a half hours, and we were not close friends let alone girlfriends, let alone girlfriends, it felt really awkward when the silence hit us and I didn't know what to talk about, so I'd rather sleep.

"Ok ok I wake up, turn the volume down a little ok, my ears can break."

Aldrian laughed and played down the volume of his music, "Tell me about your family!"

"Huh? My family? Why?" I was confused by his sudden request.

"Tell me the character of each member of your family so I can know before I meet them." Aldrian.

"Oohh, well there's nothing special about them, they're like ordinary people in general."

Aldrian glanced at me, clearly drawn on his face that he was as if he wanted to hit or pinch me but he could still control it and vent it into the steering wheel by tightening his grip.

"Can you please clarify the meaning of such a person in general how? Is your family not a person?" Ask Aldrian the circus.

"Pfftt-ok ok I was just kidding, I mean they were humble and simple, so I was a little worried when you said you wanted to come to my hometown. Fear our simple lifestyle will not suit you, as you are a person of all-excess." Say what it is.

"What did they respond to when they found out I was coming?"

"Yes, it's shock!! But because last time you said we were a species, so I convinced my parents that you're the kind of person who can accept what you are, so we just have to act like we always do. So please don't disappoint them."

"Of course, because we're one species." Aldrian replied with a smile, it seems that this time he was quite satisfied with my answer because he did not ask other strange things.

But we talked about a lot of things along the way, and without me realizing it turned out that talking to him was not as good as I thought, it turns out we had a lot in common, he said, evident from our conversation that can always connect despite changing topics.

"Ok Maam." Aldrian answered while turning the car to kana at the intersection I pointed and after walking straight a few meters saw a building in the form of a house but with a large sign that read "Sariwangi Village Office". Where my father worked as the village chief, and our house was not far from the office, we only had to walk a little into the alley on the edge of the village office and my house was about two hundred meters deep.

"The car's parked here, it's safe here so don't forget you just lock it."

I got out of the car with Aldrian, he opened the back trunk and grabbed his small suitcase before locking the car with the alarm, and we walked into the alley to my house. My village is still fairly village, because there are still many rice fields and gardens, even my house has a yard that is quite large which was used as a garden by my father, and behind our house there is a wide expanse of rice fields.

Since it was now night time our eyesight had also become limited and I used a cell phone flashlight to light the way. Aldrian walked right beside me with his hand holding my shirt like a child afraid of being left behind.

"You have to, you can turn on your cell phone flashlight too, so you don't have to walk around with a stick like this."

"No, no need to protest, just focus on the road, talking here no snakes, right?" Aldrian asked as he tightened his grip on my shirt.

"Mwahaha so you're afraid of snakes huh? Just calm down if on the road that is usually passed by people rarely have snakes."

"Ssttt I'm not afraid, just careful, if we accidentally mengginjek snake continue to be hit by the path of danger."

"Yes yes, young master need not worry, my house is tired." I pointed to a whitewashed house surrounded by trees with my cell phone flashlight, and we sped up our steps.

"Assalamualaik." I said while knocking on the door of the house.

"Getishalight." Someone answered from the inside and when the door opened, my mother's face appeared.

"Riri Alhamdulillah dear you finally arrived, the same mother father waiting for you from earlier." Said my mother while hugging me, ignoring the presence of others beside me.

"Yes ma'am, did Rian say that it was possible that Rian went home around catch-all hours." I said as I returned my mother's embrace.

"Ekhem" Aldrian who felt ignored cleared his throat asked for attention.

"Eh Ri, who is this?" My mother seemed to have forgotten that I was going to bring someone, but a few seconds later she finally remembered, "Oooh this is your boss's grandson anyway?? Oalahh ganteng tenan, Aden must be tired yo, come in first let you rest first inside."

"Yes ma'am thank you, I'm driving no break so fast until, this waist already want to break the taste, excuse me then."

"Who told you not to rest, that's what you want."

"Eh let's go in first, your father's been waiting for it."

The three of us entered the house, and in the living room looked my father who was sitting waiting for my arrival, earlier I did not have time to pay attention to my mother's appearance but when I saw my father's appearance I glanced at my mother, and I just realized that they're wearing clothes that they don't normally wear at home, especially at night like this.

My father wears a batik suit while my mother wears the usual robe she wears to the stage, usually also if my father's night wear a t-shirt and color while my mother wears a negligee. Is it because there will be special guests so they dress like this??

"It looks like your father and mother aren't as simple as you said ppfftt." Aldrian whispered while laughing a little in my ear and it made my cheeks slightly red.
