SECOND LOVE

CHAPTER 107

As usual every time he came to visit Nilam's house, Mr. Indra must have invited Bas to talk, in a concrete chair near his koi fish pond.

Accompanied by warm tea and freshly fried bananas served by Bu Sukma, the two men from different generations enjoyed a sunny afternoon.

Bas's face, which looked troubled, attracted the attention of Mr. Indra, tickled questions that could not be hidden.

"Bas, what's wrong?" Mr. Indra asked in a low voice.

Bas took a breath, before answering the question of his uncle, as well as his future father-in-law.

"Akuu, intending to propose to Nilam, uncle. But, there's still something stuck in my mind." I'm honest.

Mr. Indra smiled, here he had to position himself as an uncle, who was receiving the curses of his nephew. Not as a father, whose daughter was loved by the young man in front of her.

"What's still on your mind? Does Nilam not make you comfortable? Or did the kid demand something from you?"

"No, uncle. He never demanded anything from me. He always made me feel comfortable. And Nilam really appreciates me. It's just, I don't feel like I can give the best for him at the moment."

"meaning?" ask Mr. Indra who does not understand the meaning of Baskara's speech.

Did the young man make a mistake behind her?

"I wanted to propose to her, but I forgot, I don't have a decent place for her yet. I'm still hitchhiking at mom's house" said Bas, with his head bowed.

Mr. Indra chuckled, amused by his bad thoughts a few minutes ago, who thought Bas had made a mistake.

"Uncle guess whata, it turns out the problem of residence,"

"Yes uncle, I ...." The Bus's speech came to a halt when he heard the clattering of steps leading towards them.

"Hi Bas, when are you coming home?" Apparently Surya who came, while carrying a cup of warm coffee in hand.

"Solar Bag," Bas greeted as he nodded his head.

"How are you?" ask again.

"Good, fine. You're giman? When's home?"

"Good, mas. Yesterday I came home, but stopped by town B, first. This morning we just got back here" replied Bas with a friendly smile.

Solar chuckles. Understand if what Bas is looking for in town B is the younger brother.

The three of them broke into small talk, stopping the serious discussion that had previously occurred between Baskara and Indra sir.

"What were you guys talking about, seriously?" The curious Surya finally asked, after a moment of silence.

Bas smiled awkwardly, embarrassed to explain to Surya about his intention to propose to Nilam.

Seeing that, Mr. Indra took the initiative to explain to his son.

"Si Bas said he wanted to propose to Nilam immediately, but he felt he did not deserve it, because he did not have his own home. If you think so, good intentions must be quickened. About the house, then slowly can be thought. After all, they will not live in the village anytime soon. Later you can save together, so together to start from zero. That's it, if according to the father, but later you try to talk first with Nilam and your family as well." Mr. Indra spoke while staring at Surya and Baskara in turn.

"If I think, the intention is really Bas, sir. That meant he thought about Nilam's comfort, later on. Everywhere the name lives with parents after marriage, there must be a bad taste." Surya gave his opinion.

"You've been obrolin' this same Nilam, haven't you?"

"No, Mas. Yesterday I tried to talk, but I didn't respond to him. Maybe I was kidding,"

"Patience, slow down your love."
