Should I Joke (Again)
51. Special guest
The next day, when Rei returned to his activities as a teller, in a house there seemed to be some busyness.
While waiting for his guests to come, Papa and Mama Ardan prepared some parcels that will be taken to the house of his prospective besi.
Yes today as promised, they will propose to Rei to his parents. While waiting for his special guests to come, papa and mama sat down to enjoy a warm tea.
Tong
Aunty looked towards the door and saw who was coming, then met her master.
"Sir, ma'am, there's a husband and wife guest in front. It looks like it's from far away" said the aunt
"Yes,bi. Let's pa, let's meet our guests." mama and papa finally came out.
As he expected the distant guests to have already come, they welcomed him. Understandably for a long time, Mr. Hadi and his wife did not visit here, even the last meeting when there was a wedding of the daughter of one of his colleagues, they did not have time to meet.
"Finally come too, how are you, sir, long time we do not play golf together" said papa, shaking the hand of Mr. Hadi and his wife.
And vice versa, mama and mama Suci are involved in the conversation. Two pairs of parents who still look energetic at an age that is not young anymore.
They then talked about the plan today, also about Ardan who came suddenly on the grounds of wanting to invite cooperation when the main intention was to ask for blessing to Mr. Hadi and his wife.
They were seen laughing when they knew Ardan could do so because of the actions of a woman he loved.
Ardan did not heal anything from his parents about Rei, about how he wished Rei loved him as much as he did.
They also had time to say that Rei met again and was in the same office with his ex.
And that's what makes Ardan so desperate to ask for blessing and ask his parents to immediately propose to Rei.
After satisfied chatting, papa glanced at his watch and invited Mr. Hadi and his wife to leave for Rei's parents' house.
"Well we connect later there, we should leave soon because soon lunch hour, the streets will be crowded." invite papa.
They then left using a car that had been prepared by the driver. Mr. Hadi's car was moved to the garage after they left.

The journey to Rei's parents' house is indeed a little crowded, especially in some streets that are famous for the pujasera area in the city.
Before long the car they were riding in had entered the residential area. And after turning the car into one of the alleys, the car stopped in front of a house that looked well maintained from the outside.
"Finally we arrived here, yes pa, after a long time not visiting here since Anton's death" said the Holy Mother when she turned to look at the house.
"Yes, my mom was right. It feels like just yesterday we picked up Rei to take him away following Anton at his place of duty, but we also drove him back after Anton died." a look of sadness appeared on Mr. Hadi's face.
Everyone in the car felt the sadness, but then papa threw them away.
"Don't be sad, we just want to tie Rei back to being our daughter-in-law. We assure Mr. Fauzi that Rei will not experience grief again." Pras.
Everyone nodded, and they got out of the car. Mr. Hadi and Mr. Pras walked first followed by their respective wives.
Before long, the door of the house opened with the face of Amelia's mother who looked surprised, saw besan and also his iron candidate there.
"Waalaikumsalam, I am good sir alhamdulillah. Mom and dad how are you? for a long time we did not touch. Come on in, I'll call the father the children first." mama shook hands and hugged and kissed his lady.
Mr. Fauzi who knew there was a guest directly met his guest, although a little surprised it turned out that his guest this time was a special guest.
Yes between his old besan and his new besan candidate, Mr. Fauzi shook the hands of Mr. Hadi and Mr. Pras.
Ms. Amel then left them briefly for the kitchen to get her guests to drink.
Because it happened to be lunch hour so all just eat together, Amel assisted by ART has completed several menus and has been arranged neatly at the table.
Actually today both Rei and Dani and his little family will have dinner together because they have not been together for a long time.
Ms. Amel has returned to where her husband and guests are, serving her warm tea and some pastries.
The conversation that was initially relaxed became serious when Mr. Hadi expressed the intention of his arrival with Mr. Pras.
Mr. Fauzi had already caught the signal, however as a parent he just wanted the best for his son.
"The purpose of our arrival here is to propose to Rei for our son Ardan." said Mr. Pras sure.
"Actually he wanted to come directly to propose but because there was a sudden meeting and could not be left so, we as parents took the initiative to come, as well as want to establish friendship with the father's family."
"We know our son Ardan must have been here a lot, and they seem to have gotten along. We think if our two children are compatible with each other, why don't we tie in marriage. To avoid things that are not desirable."
Mr. Pras explained without intending to intimidate. Mr. Hadi agreed with the opinion of Mr. Pras, but it seems that it still takes time to convince the iron.
"I know our arrival here must have been guessed by father and mother. I also know Mr. Fauzi still feels heavy to release Rei because of Rei's status now."
Mr. Fauzi seemed to think, his wife knew that her husband could not immediately accept the explanation of his prospective ironclad.
But there's a point, too, if we just let these kids be together without a single bond, it won't guarantee that going forward will be okay.
The longer it will take the more people know about their relationship, and the more gossip there will be.
They were no longer young, they were both ready to move on to a more serious level.
Rather than just dating what's wrong they get married, even with the status of Rei who already bears the title of widow at a relatively young age.
Mr. Fauzi was finally willing to accept the proposal, if he saw Rei seemed comfortable with Ardan. Even she saw Rei could come back cheerful since her husband died.
He reveals the reason why he had been keeping a distance with his son Rei's male friend. She was still afraid of Rei being traumatized, let alone her former husband the latter was the result of her matchmaking.
They all understand, maybe even the same if they experience it. Finally, the talks continued at a proposal event that will be held soon.
Negotiating and giving opinions to each other, the parents looked enthusiastic. Especially those mothers who can't wait for H.
While enjoying the dishes they still continue to chat exciting, lunch hour arrived they continued the conversation at the dining table.
