Nev waits for Raya's return while chatting casually with Sahara on the porch of the house. They talked about Nev's work and daily life.
Sahara thinks Nev is an independent and intelligent man. Nev also has a well-established life, and not to forget, the bonus is that Nev has a charming visual.
"So you had some leg paralysis, Nev?" ask Sahara and Nev nodded.
"Now that you are healthy is a miracle...are you going abroad for treatment?" ask Sahara with an enthusiastic response.
"I'm not going abroad for treatment, Tant. Thankfully, my paralysis was not a harvester, so it could heal at any time. I also did not expect now to be healthy again, because I had felt pessimistic to recover,"
"You're young, don't lose confidence" Sahara told Nev.
Nev smiled with a glance at Sahara.
"Oh yeah, by the way you're married?" ask Sahara again.
When Nev wants to answer, it turns out Raya and Adrian have arrived home - automatically his attention and Sahara was turned towards the fence of the house - where Raya was entering the yard of the house with Adrian who seemed to have just finished paying the argo taxi.
"Nev.." said Raya in shock to see Nev in the house with his mother. Raya is afraid that Nev will do the no-no to cancel his marriage to Reka. The current head of the Kingdom is full of suspicions over the whereabouts of Nev in his home.
Nev smiled gently looking at Raya who looked silent.
"A guest, Ma?" greet Adrian behind Raya's body, then head straight to the terrace to see Nev closer.
"Where, Pa? Is it done with the business?" ask Sahara to her husband.
Adrian nodded, "Who, Ma?" tanya Adrian refers to a young man who is among them.
"It's Nev, Pa. It was loh, which at that time Mama told Mama when she came home from a notary," said Sahara and Adrian reached out his hand to Nev with a friendly smile.
"I'm Nev, sir" said Nev to Adrian's hand.
"I'm Adrian, thank you for helping my wife the other day" Adrian said.
Nev nodded politely.
"And it turns out that Nev knows Raya, Pa," said Sahara and the three looked towards Raya who was standing on the porch without a sound.
"So you're here to see Raya?" adrian's fashion with a curved smile.
Nev bowed in shame while rubbing his own nape.
"Raya, when are you gonna stand there?" adrian said insinuating attitude bengong Raya.
"Yes, Pa." said Raya regained consciousness and hurried into the house without greeting Nev further, she knew the story of a man who helped her from the pickpocketing, but he didn't expect that man to be Nev.
Nev was stunned to see the attitude of Raya who entered the house just like that. Is something wrong?
"Mama asked Nev to have lunch here with us, Pa." Sahara told Adrian.
"Yes, yeah, that's good. Come on in Nev. we have lunch together," said the middle-aged man as he accompanied Nev to enter the house.
In fact, Nev felt very reluctant and awkward, he preferred to meet a client or investor who was arrogant - rather than meeting both parents in conditions like this. How not awkward, he did not even prepare anything to meet the two Grandfathers.
If Nev had known it would be like this, he would probably have brought many parcels as a polite form of sweeping for his first meeting with Raya's parents.
Nev was too upset, so he approached the house without thinking in this direction. Moreover, he also did not think that the woman he had helped was Mama Raya. Although the incident made him have a plus in the eyes of the Sahara, but still for Nev it is not something to be proud of.
Until at the dining room, Nev saw Raya who was busy arranging dishes at the dining table. Raya also stole a glance to look at him, but no words or sentences came out of the woman's lips. He seemed to stay focused on his activities.
"Let's sit down, Nev." said Adrian who had pulled up the chair, followed by the Sahara next to him.
Nev follows in the footsteps of the middle-aged man - by sitting across from him. Along with that, Raya also sat in the only dining chair left next to Nev.
Raya Gegas brought rice to her parents. So, all of them did eat with rice taken by Raya, including Nev.
"Thank you" Nev said to Raya, who put a plate of rice on him.
Just this time Nev felt awkward to eat with Raya, maybe because opposite him there are two parents of Raya who are paying attention to her interaction with Raya. I don't know.
"Briliant Group, sir" said Nev.
"Oh means getting to know Raya there, huh?" ask Adrian again. "The other day there was a man who visited me, said a colleague at Briliant Group, he asked me for Raya's home address. He came to the police, loh," he concluded.
"Who?" ask Nev wonder.
"Who is his name, forgets me. Rian or Dian, you know?"
Nev smiles a little, realizing Adrian is Bian.
"Yes, Sir. Maybe I mean Bian."
"Well, that.... Bian, but why did you come here instead of Bian? As I recall the address of the house yesterday was Bian Bian, it was," said Adrian chuckling.
"Yes, Sir. Bian wanted to come here before, but I represented him" Nev said.
Adrian also understands.
While Raya already knows where Nev initially knew his new residence, of course from Bian who investigated to see the Police.
"Don't call 'Sir'. Not that I refuse old, but I feel like you're my assistant, not a good fit." - Adrian.
"So what does it fit, Pa?" timpal Sahara is serious.
"It's the right fit to be a son-in-law," said Adrian joking.
And simultaneously Raya and Nev choke on their respective food.
Sahara and Adrian look at each other meaningfully.
"I mean Mama, what she called, that's not what she fits," Sahara explained the error of her sentence.
Adrian was chuckling. "Hahaha, Sorry-sorry, Nev. I misinterpreted Mama Raya's words, just now. Call 'Om' only, yes." he concluded.
Nev chuckles, "It's okay if I'm a son-in-law, Om?" ask Nev to the point and instead discuss things that should not have been discussed since the beginning.
Raya elbowed Nev and Nev just smiled charmingly without turning her head towards Raya, making Raya unable to say anything more than bowing her head while massaging her forehead. Duh...
"Yes, it's okay, if there are two girls Om. You're engaged, Nev. Hahaha," It turns out that Adrian answered Nev with a laugh, sort of a joke.
Nev smiled wryly realizing Adrian's words were true, that Raya had indeed been engaged, right?
"So Raya's engaged, Om?" nev asked acting foolishly while looking at Raya with his inner gaze.
"Yes, Nev. You're late..." Adrian smiled a little, then took a glass of water and drank it.
Nev felt his throat dry, he grabbed a glass and drank water until the toilet in one gulp.
"Let's come to the wedding, Nev. Give me your address, there will be someone who takes the invitation there," Sahara said chiming-with a smile.
"Hmm, I can't promise you, Tant." said Nev, who couldn't cover up the sadness in his face and tone of voice.
They continued the meal until it was over. After eating, Nev wanted to go home soon because meeting Raya today was enough to make him happy even though Raya seemed to close herself and did not talk much to respond.
Nev also maintain the attitude in front of both parents Raya, he does not want to force to talk to Raya one eye.
And through his visit this time to the House of Raya, he finally could know that Raya still did not cancel the marriage. Raya and Reka will stay married, that's the conclusion she came to today.
Apparently Raya did not heed Nev's warning the other day, the proof Raya did not tell her parents about the cancellation.
Raya really does not want to disappoint her parents, that's what Nev understands here.
If Raya's decision is so, what else should Nev do? Should she really come to the Grand wedding later?
...Seriate......
