SIN (Lecturer Dear)

Chapter 117: Finally Meet

"Nadya?"

Nadya gasped to hear Karen greeting her after she was silent for a while. "Ah, Kar, I'm waiting in Jakarta, yes! I'm the same Vera was very upset with you, nih."

Finally, Nadya decided not to tell the deal she made with Chalvin. Because, Darren's cousin asked him to keep it a secret from anyone.

After hanging up the phone, Karen turned her head back towards Darren. The man had just finished off the food that had made him swallow saliva.

"I want that, can you just keep telling me what it's like?" Karen pointed to the other hawker place.

Darren immediately invited him to move places and buy snacks in question. As soon as the food entered his mouth, a burning sensation was immediately felt. His hands reflexively moved in front of his mouth, wagging while asking for mineral water.

Karen laughed with satisfaction. Apparently, she had deliberately asked her husband to taste spicy food. She knew her husband was very weak with spicy food. She bought ice cream for her husband.

Meanwhile, at Bratajaya's large residence, Oma Belle complains about Chalvin refusing to gather in this house like Karen and Darren. Hearing his wife's nagging, Aswono's grandfather even giggled.

"Crocodiles want to be caged."

"Why not? I've never cornered a crocodile and immediately tamed." Oma Belle even insinuated Aswono's grandfather.

"It's not tame, but my predatory abilities instantly vanish once you meet," replied the seductive grandfather as he raised his pair of whitened eyebrows.

"Ah, your dreadlocks, Mas." Oma Belle turned her back to her husband while blushing.

...****************...

The anticipated week has arrived. Chalvin was walking back and forth in front of a narrow alley that became the boarding place of Nadya. Five minutes later, Nadya appeared with a different appearance than usual. He who always wears T-shirts and jeans, now look stunning in a plain white dress that Chalvin bought for him. Oma Belle will also take them to her friend's wedding.

"Remember, don't speak! Oma I if she's nagging the investigator. Will be peeled off sharply. Notice the way you talk, remember .. you are here as a descendant of the palace. Must be soft and smooth. Don't be like tap water filling an empty bucket." Chalvin gave a warning before they got out of the car.

"Kok must lie pake said all royal descendants. So hard, you know!" Nadya seemed to disagree to have to act like a court girl.

"I've already spilled if I have a girlfriend of royal descent. You see Oma I'm a bit primordialism¹."

"Surely this will succeed in fooling Oma Brother?"

"It all depends on you."

Nadya covered her own lips. "But what we're doing isn't real, you know!"

"How else. If I didn't believe it, I would have been forced to marry an oma. Where's the girl's choice of horror all over again."

When Chalvin said he wanted to be betrothed to the girl of his choice, there was a kind of disrespect in Nadya's little heart. It also motivated him to help the man.

Chalvin links their fingers like lovers. "Don't be kittens!" he said with softened eyes.

(Dont be kittens: don't be nervous)

They stepped together with both hands clasping each other. Once inside, Nadya's eyes felt pampered. A luxurious house whose courtyard is so spacious with a classic feel, like a museum. There are a lot of antiques in it. Not to mention, paintings of high artistic value Oma Belle hand scratches plastered on each wall.

Soon, a graceful old woman came down the stairs greeting the two. Nadya immediately guessed that it was Oma Belle.

"Oh, so this is Chalvin's girlfriend who's been under frequent criticism. It was so young. Same with my daughter-in-law's granddaughter. What's your name?" tanya Oma Belle greeted Nadya with a friendly and enthusiastic.

The long-spirited girl rushed to take Oma Belle's hand for a bow. "Nadya, Oma," he replied afterwards.

Oma Belle watched Nadya closely. Although it was old, but the vision of the woman was still sharp and clear. He could see the girl Chalvin had brought this time was indeed completely different. Although not as beautiful as his previous lovers, but Nadya has a sweet face typical of Indonesia. His smile was beautiful, as there was a faint hole in the cheek. It really looks charming with simplicity.

"Nadya is indeed a Jakarta person or ...." Oma Belle started the question and answer session.

"I'm a bo—"

"Boyolalli!" cut Chalvin fast.

Nadya looked in shock at him. "When did Bogor become Boyolali?" he murmured while whispering small.

"Udah, come with me! Let Oma believe you are a descendant of the court," Chalvin replied.

"Oh, so you wong Jowo? Same dong as Chalvin's grandfather. His grandfather's extended family is also in Boyolali!"

Nadya again said, "But my mama's a su—"

"Surakarta's. Yes, your mama is Surakarta, right?" Chalvin stared intently at Nadya with a pair of raised eyebrows. He was worried that Oma Belle would be suspicious if what she said was different from what the girl said.

Nadya who had actually wanted to say that her mother was Sundanese, could only nod while curling a smile as wide as possible until her eyes narrowed.

"I am Javanese but there is a mixture of USA" added Nadya who suddenly made Chalvin and Omanya surprised.

"Oh, so you have some blood, too?" Oma Belle huffing.

Nadya nodded her head while smiling stiffly.

Chalvin whispered from behind. "What are you doing Blaster USA? How come there's no bullshit."

"USA I mean Urang SundA. Alias Java mix Sunda." Nadya whispered back while grinning.

"Wow, mind blowing!" muttered the man with a tightened face.

(Mind blowing: slang word to respond to something astounding or surprising)

"You know what your parents work for?" ask Oma again.

"My father is a Mabel handyman" replied Nadya innocently.

"Huh?" Oma Belle's forehead forms a crease.

Chalvin quickly corrected. "I mean entrepreneurs who move in the world of furniture, Oma. That furniture. He's too low!"

"Can't you use some cool language?" ketus Chalvin whispered behind his ear.

"What does Nadya herself do?" ask Oma back.

"I ...." Nadya glanced for a moment at Chalvin for fear of mispronouncing again.

"He's still a student, Oma," Chalvin added.

"So still a student? Didn't expect the taste of Chalvin candidates according to the criteria of Oma who is still young and virgin."

The last word Oma Belle said made Nadya's face darken. Reflexively, he was bowed in.

"His cousin also has a wife who is still a student as well, it's Oma loh who is a mate," added Oma excitedly.

Feeling that Oma did not stop asking, Chalvin immediately said, "Oma, we should go to the party now. Fear of getting stuck. Talk on the street."

"Ah, yes, yes?"

Chalvin and Nadya were getting ready to leave. The fake couple sighed for a moment as Oma seemed to believe them. It could even be said that this charade went smoothly than they had imagined.

"Nadya!" call Oma suddenly.

Nadya turned. "Yes, Oma ...."

"Let's call your parents and let them know that Chalvin and his family are coming to your house."

"Why, huh, Oma?" asked Nadya who was immediately stunned by the eyeballs that shifted to the side.

"Yes .. would like to come and propose to you. You two are Oma blessing. Now, it's your turn to ask for your parents' blessing."

Oma Belle's speech made Chalvin who was sipping a canned drink he was carrying and then choked to gush out of his mouth.

"Chalvin, don't forget to book a plane ticket to Boyolali" Oma Belle told him.

Simultaneously, Karen and Darren arrived at the residence, bringing shock to all of them.

Primordialism is a view that holds firmly the things brought since childhood, both traditions, customs, beliefs, and everything in its first environment (understanding according to KBBI)

So Oma Belle is a figure of primordialism, yes, people like gini are usually high nationalist.
