PRETEND POOR

ASK FOR BLESSINGS

After returning from Ruby's apartment, Melvin did not go back to his apartment. He chose to continue his journey directly to his parents' residence in the next city. Although he would get there quite late, Melvin would not waste the time and opportunity he had obtained.

Ruby's father had given them the green light. Melvin has to show her seriousness that she really loves Ruby. If you have to get married tomorrow, then Melvin will do it tomorrow.

Arriving at the mansion, the guard opened the gate for him. The waiter greeted him at the main door. He was welcome to sit in the living room while the servant went upstairs to tell his parents.

"Well remember the house?"

Kennedy came down the stairs with Kania after the housekeeper told her that Melvin was coming home. The look on his face showed pride in welcoming his own son. The son who had long forgotten his home and came at will to the house without seeing the time.

"How are you, honey? Mama misses you so much." In contrast to Kennedy's attitude, Kania hugged the warmly missed son.

"My news is good, Mother." Melvin returned his mother's embrace.

"Sit down, honey," said Kania with a sweet smile. "Dad, you're sitting down too!"

Kania glared at her husband. Inevitably the man obeyed the will of his wife. The three of them sat in the middle room. The waiter served them a warm drink.

"A late night like this why did it suddenly come? You need money? Or have you made a big deal?" Kennedy seemed to be caught off guard by his son's behavior, which he said he never obeyed his parents.

"Dad .... " Kania is an angel to Melvin. His father could not dwell if his mother was already getting upset.

"What's up, Vin?" asked Kania in a soft tone.

"Melvin needs Mom and Dad's help proposing to Ruby."

Kania and Kennedy looked at each other.

"You mean Ruby, Mr. Wijaya's daughter?" ask Ken to make sure.

"Yes." Yeah." Melvin answered only briefly.

"Wouldn't she want to marry Ardi, your friend?" He was amazed by his son's request.

"The wedding's off, Dad." Kania who are more diligent in watching TV of course know the latest news about the metropolitan city.

"really? I just found out." Ken's a guy who doesn't take care of other people's problems too much. He is not aware of the latest news.

"How does the story go they just broke up and you say you want to propose to Ruby in the near future?" Kania is also confused by this.

"Dad and Mom would know that I love Ruby. What's wrong with them after their marriage is off I want to propose to her right away?"

"Can't be rushed like that, Vin. Ardi was also your friend, it would be painful for him to know you proposed to Ruby shortly after they broke up."

"What your mother said is true, Vin," Kennedy said. "In addition, Mr. Wijaya does not necessarily accept your application."

"Om Wijaya himself told me to propose to Ruby." Melvin chimed in on his father's words.

"What!?" Kania and Ken were both shocked.

"Om Wijaya told me to take my mom and dad to his house tomorrow night."

"She said she'd marry me to Ruby."

"What!?" once again Kania and Ken exclaimed compactly.

"Melvin, have you impregnated Ruby?" Hearing her son being told to get married suddenly made Kania think.

"No, Ma .. "kilah Melvin.

"Yet in your face must have been Mr. Wijaya who did it, right?" asked Kennedy who suddenly became focused on seeing the wound on his son's face.

"Ah, yes." Melvin forgot about the cut on his face.

"Pak Wijaya can't beat you up if you don't do bad things to his daughter." Ken is suspicious of Melvin. "Honest ... Ruby must be pregnant because of you so her marriage to Ardi was canceled and she asked you to take responsibility! You're a total mess, Vin!" Ken's emotions are rising again. His son was always making trouble, unable to give him a chance to breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy life.

"We .... "

"If you speak clearly!" Ken snapped.

"We're just going out as usual, Dad. Then ... Om Wijaya caught us kissing." Melvin covered his own face in shame.

Kania and Ken are stunned. They don't know what to comment.

"Om Wijaya knows we've been in a relationship for a long time. Not wanting to happen something like Dad and Mom to worry about, Om Wijaya told us to get married soon."

"Vin .. Your behavior makes you dizzy." Ken's pinching his forehead.

"I promise this is the last time you're gonna bother me. If only Om Wijaya hadn't asked for your presence, I wouldn't have bothered Mom and Dad."

"Vin, Vinn ... You're still stubborn." Ken no longer knows what to do with Melvin's indifference.

"Darling, was the wedding very sudden? Can't we talk about doing it at the right time? There are many things to prepare for a wedding." Kania is dizzy. It is impossible to build a marriage in one day.

"Said Om Wijaya I don't need to prepare anything other than mental and parental presence."

"Even though her father Ruby said that, it was still inappropriate for a man to come empty-handed. Especially for a wedding."

"Om Wijaya himself wants the show private and closed. We just have to come there."

Ken sipped his warm drink. "I don't know what's on Wijaya's mind anymore. To find out, we must come and listen to the explanation directly."

"Yes, Dad! I agree too."

"I'm just afraid Wijaya will play our family. Maybe he wants revenge because our family once arbitrarily told Ruby when he pretended to be poor."

Kania clasped her own clothes. She felt she was being insulted by her husband. In the past, Kania had told Ruby to leave Melvin by giving some money even though the money was rejected. If he remembered it again, of course it made him very embarrassed.

"Om Wijaya and Ruby aren't such people, Dad!" Melvin disputed Kennedy's words.

"Dad hoped that too. Our business relationship is very good. Don't let 'cause you're all getting ruined."

"Mother is still scared, Vin. You never offered money to Ruby." Kania admitted his mistake.

"Mother don't worry, everything will be fine."

"Do we have to bring the whole house?"

"No, Pa. Only the three of us came."

Kennedy let out a long sigh, "Alright, it seems like father and mother can accompany you to come to Wijaya's house."

Melvin smiled, "That means ... You guys gave my blessing to Ruby and me, right?"

"Of course, honey. We will appreciate and accept the woman who is your choice" Kania said. "Now, you rest in the room so that tomorrow can prepare the application as much as possible" he continued.

After a serious discussion, they discussed trivial things that would also cause problems later on. Melvin and his father were not far from business.
