Real Or Fake

BROF #20

Now that Mikael's car has been on the highway, he's following directions from GPS.

"Next time I want you to drop off my lunch, not Teddy." Mikael is still focused on the streets.

"Isn't it the same Mika, me or Teddy who drove her?" Gladys.

"I said you're well you." Mikael said.

"Well, Mika."

"You should never give your phone number to just anyone and also don't look at other men's faces."

"Why can't you? That's my right, sir." Denied Gladys.

Mikael stopped his car when he saw the red traffic light. He looked at Gladys.

"But you have to remember, there's a contract between us." Mikael said annoyed.

"Sorry Mr. Mika. I'll remember it." Gladys.

Hearing the word of the contract agreement between them made Gladys can only be silent and obey Mikael's wishes.

"Tomorrow I'll pick you up at 05:00." Mikael.

"Tomorrow? Tomorrow is Saturday, where are we going on holiday?" Ask Gladys.

"Meet my parents." Answer Mikael.

"Why sudden? I'm not ready Mr. Mika." Gladys panicked.

"Whether you are not ready you must be ready. Have you ever met your boyfriend's parents?" Ask Mikael furious.

"Earlier. But his family doesn't like me." Gladys replied, then looked out the car window.

He recalls his encounter with Lina in the hospital, during Leon's accident. That day was the first time he had met Leon's family with such a chaotic situation.

The traffic light has turned green, Mikael returns to drive his car.

At first glance he looked towards Gladys as he looked at the left rearview mirror.

"Why does he look so sad? Was there a problem when he met his girlfriend's family?" Ask Mikael in my heart. "But stupidly, it's none of my business either." Further.

Mikael's car stopped in front of Gladys' apartment lobby.

"Thank you sir for the ride." Gladys said and got out of Mikael's car.

Mikael returns to his car.

Gladys had reached her apartment, she took off her shoes and walked over to her soft sofa and threw her body onto the sofa. He looked at the ceiling of his apartment.

"Will everything go well? What should I say when I meet them tomorrow? Will they like me?" Gladys. There was a sense of fear that Gladys felt considering his first meeting with Leon's parents.

Gladys then headed to his room to clean himself up.

***

Today Gladys woke up quite early. He wants to shop for cup cake ingredients to give to Mikael's parents when he meets.

He had finished preparing and stepped out of the apartment heading to the supermarket using a bulge.

"Gladys." Call someone.

Gladys turned around to see who was calling him.

"Silver One."

"What are you shopping for?" Ask Gilang.

"It's the ingredients for making cup cake." Answer Gladys.

"Can you make a cup cake?" Tanya Gilang who was slightly surprised to hear Gladys reply.

"My hobby is cooking."

"Good dong. May dong in masakin."

"Can. Sis Gilang likes to eat what, later I try masakin."

"As far as you are. What matters is that you cook."

"OK"

Finished paying. Gilang volunteered to drive Galdys home.

"Thank you, Brother Gilang." Gladys said when he arrived in front of his apartment and then got out of Gilang's car.

Gladys then stepped into his apartment.

Upon arriving he took off the sandals he wore then headed to the kitchen and began making cup cake that he often made while in Korea.

"Finished" Gladys said gladly as she finished her last cup of cake.

Suddenly Gladys remembered his papa who loved to eat his cup cake. When his papa birthday certainly Gladys asked to make a birthday cake from cup cake made.

"Hopefully Papa in Korea is fine. Then there's eomma, Gisel and Geral next to papa. They must be looking after papa" said Gladys in his heart and made a line of smiles on his lips considering his two sisters who scrambled to feed his papa the first cup cake on his papa birthday

Gladys' stomach sounds.

"It's so hungry." Gladys said as he held his stomach and looked at the wall clock near the dining table that showed at 1:30. He then stored all the cakes he made into the refrigerator and made an omelet.

Gladys took the cooked white rice into a dish and took a cooked omelet and poured sweet soy sauce over the egg rice.

Finish eating Gladys clean his kitchen and take a shower. After that, he chose the clothes he would use to meet Mikael's parents.

The choice falls on a light pink brenda dress above the knee, pink wedges and handbags matching her clothes and shoes.

After dressing Gladys thinly makeup his face with makeup that he used to wear to the office. He tied half his hair with a ribbon-shaped clasp. For the final touch Gladys wear dangle earrings shaped like teardrops, oval shape hanging silver white.
