Petunia Amarily

7. Stealing phone numbers.

Breakfast this morning, like the day before. Abhimanyu's family still gathers at the dinner table, even though last night Nia created a melee because she came home too late, and both parents Adam Billy Hutama who came suddenly asked for marriage to be done as soon as possible.

The atmosphere of the dining table looked silent, with Nia who remained wearing loose clothes as usual. The more days, the middle part of the woman's body was getting full, and none of the house people noticed it.

"Nia, if you notice, your body gets fuller over time. In fact, you don't like rice these days," said Kirana who suddenly made a sound. The woman was astonished, about the change of her daughter which was fairly drastic.

"Nia just wants to diet and not eat rice, Mom," answered Nia, "In addition, maybe because of stress thinking about the course and ending up like a sweet snack" added Nia again.

"Yes already then. Oh yeah, last night, where did you go with Farel?" ask Kirana again, chewing her food.

"At the cafe where you used to hang out with Tika. Just having dinner, talking about the subject matter and yes, young people's conversation in general" Nia replied, still in a calm tone.

"You sure, honey?" asked Abhimanyu suddenly, making Nia blink her eyes uncomfortable. That question, Nia should not accept. The father's sharp gaze, as if hinting that Nia's father did not believe him.

"Please go to the cafe before the red light, Dad. Checking all the CCTVs around the cafe, I will definitely find Nia there with Farel last night," Nia replied as it was.

Nia was sure, only a picture of her and Farel, would definitely be seen there. It's just that, about what Nia and Farel are talking about, I won't know.

"Dad is not in disbelief, Dad just asked," Abhimanyu said to chimed in.

"Oh yes, Two more Weeks Your brother will do the blessing in the church, the marriage is done quickly, because the family of your beloved brother who asked, and your Brother is also willing," added Abhimanyu, who was not involved in the marriage, it was like a dagger ready to plunge into Nia's heart without feeling.

Slowly but surely, Nia's face paled, along with her breath that felt stopped in the esophagus It felt tight, but Nia still had to behave normally.

Two more weeks?

A blessing?

At church?

Oh my God, why is it so fast?

So, the family of Adam who asked directly, so that the blessing was done as soon as possible? Nia wanted to roar right now, but the woman was still holding back, with all the strength of her heart remaining as small as possible.

"No problem, Nia will give her blessing. It's just that, Nia wanted to tell Dad, maybe the Farel family will also come to ask Nia, to Father and Mother. Nia and Farel, want to get married as soon as possible, too" said Nia, making Kirana choke on her own food.

"What are you saying, Nia?" abhimanyu asked later, "didn't you and Farel just be friendly?" ask Abhimanyu make sure.

"Yes, but we both like it, and we have to get married. To get married, my age and Farel was enough, farel also had a job that made him earn though not much," answered Nia calmly, feed a spoonful of vegetables cooked into a capcay.

"Let your sister finish getting married, Nia. Do not be too rushed, after all, you are still both in college, too" Kirana reminded.

"No, Ma. We are ready to get married" Nia said in response.

Abhimanyu slammed the spoon on his plate, creating a loud clanking sound on the dinner table.

"Father is no longer appetizing to continue eating," said Abhimanyu later, while drinking the water and immediately got up.

Silence occurs at the dinner table, between Kia and Nia, because Kirana also goes after the husband who looks uncomfortable.

"What does all this mean, Nia? You're making Dad mad, and I'm avoiding you this time. Brother replied, what makes you want to marry Farel as soon as possible?" ask Kia.

There's no fire if there's no smoke, there's no way Nia's asking for a marriage with Farel, if something doesn't happen to both of them. What the hell is this really?

"Me and Farel love each other, brother. Just like sister Kia and Adam," Nia replied casually, feeding a piece of sausage mixed with her capcay.

"His name is Billy, Nia. Not Adam," Kia later said.

"While brother wants to call him who. What is clear, since the first time he prefers me to call him as Mr. Adam," replied Nia lowered her head, holding back tears because she did not want her brother to see her cry.

"Is Billy your ex-boyfriend?" kia asked, starting to speculate on the direction of the love affair, "you're hurt because Billy decided to marry me soon?" ask Kia again.

"Don't just pick me up, brother. Ask your boyfriend the same. I just wish he could be better for marrying my sister. Please, don't ask any more," Nia replied as she drank the water nearby, "give me Brother's phone, I borrow it for a while."

"For what?" ask Kia.

"See my contact number, and I'll send it to my WhatsApp," Nia lied.

Unfortunately, by believing Kia gave away her phone, without peeking at anything Kia typed into her phone.

Nia didn't run out of sense to find Adam's new phone number. Nia wanted to meet the man, ask a lot of things and demand a promise that the man had once made.

After sending on WhatsApp herself, Nia immediately deleted her chat, and returned Kia's phone.

"Thank you, Brother. I have to go to college now," said Nia who then passed away, leaving Kia who looked at him curiously.

Kia long hesitated to continue the marriage with Adam. Although from this day Adam took care of everything, and also registered the marriage, but Kia was still not satisfied.

Zaskia just wanted to know, what was the reason for her sister acting so strange, including when she had to find the behavior and response of Nia who seemed reluctant to accept her Billy.

While Nia, the woman headed into the room, before leaving for college with the driver. The young Abhimanyu and Kirana took her bag, laptop along with her cell phone. Luckily, last night he had bought a new number for him to use to contact Adam.

He looked at a WhatsApp from Kia's number, Adam's new mobile number. Lucky chat history on Kia's phone earlier, it was deleted by him.

Nia thought before sending Adam a message that she wanted to meet him. There were many considerations, which now became a wedge in Nia's heart.

'I want to meet you at the orchid cafe not far from your lover's workplace, at 13:00 pm . I hope you come before you regret that something happened to me.'

The message was sent, and immediately read by Adam. Good, Nia smiled inwardly.

"Whenever you avoid me, I'll talk to you, Adam. Let's see, you love me, or my brother!" muttered Nia with a soft voice.
