At Bratajaya's large residence, Oma Belle was driving housekeepers to prepare a banquet for the evening. Yes, like the discussion with Chalvin before, the old woman who always looks elegant will hold dinner with their old relatives.
Karen who just arrived from campus, then stopped by the kitchen to see their activities that seemed busy.
"Oma, what's up!"
"It just so happens that you've come. Here .... here .. there's someone Oma would like to point at you." Oma Belle pulls Karen into the living room while showing her a piece of paper containing a list of names.
"Is this Oma?" karen began to read.
"This is a recommendation of names that bring good luck to your baby," explained Oma Belle with excitement.
Karen took a breath. As usual, Oma Belle still manages their grandchildren. Even for the business of naming the baby. Moreover, the list of children's names that he recommended, was not very suitable for Karen's taste.
"Oma, I'm the same Darren hasn't thought of our baby's name yet."
"That is precisely .. because you have not thought there, so Oma help you think. If we choose the wrong name of the child will be sickly!"
Not wanting to argue at length with Oma Belle, Karen said as she folded the paper. "Yes, Oma, I'll give you a look at Darren first."
Just as Karen was about to leave, the Belle oma said again, "Oh, yes, after the night we will have a special guest. Don't forget to tell Darren to come home! There are old relatives of our family who will visit, coincidentally his son wants Oma to mate with Chalvin."
"Night night, Oma?" Karen was a little surprised. "Oh, but I'm the same Darren tar night going to grandma's house. I promise anyway.
"Lah .. so you can't eat the mallem with us? But Oma wants to know you as well as them. They're curious to know Darren's wife."
"Sorry, Oma, but my grandmother also wants to go back to Bali.
Darren and Karen's absence tonight doesn't seem to be a problem for Oma Belle. Because, the main focus tonight is to arrange Chalvin's matchmaking.
"Kok Chalvin belom came too, yeah. Though not told to come quickly before the first family Silvia." Oma Belle was busy pacing back and forth from thirty minutes ago.
"Don't tell me you want to fuck her again!" guess Grandpa Aswono.
"Clearly! If he is not married, where he wants to marry. Maybe it's not thinking!"
Grandpa Aswono clucked. "You don't give up on him!"
"He who should be betrayed is fooled. Especially the age that should have been married, give us great-grandchildren like Darren. The people are on nanya loh, the Chalvin is already married what belom? I'm ashamed he replied, lest they guess Chalvin's ass!"
"This is going to be a problem! When he lives life based only on expectations, demands and coercion of the community, eventually it will only harm people who are dragged into his life, for example the couple chosen for him later."
"Everything looking for that pair should fit. You see if it doesn't fit, it's finally just a wishful thinking."
"Pas in our opinion is not necessarily the right fit according to him!"
"Terooss dress!" cerocos Oma Belle in an annoyed tone.
Just like Oma Belle, Nadya who is still guarding the stand was waiting for Chalvin from earlier. Although he had rejected the man's invitation, but still he hoped Chalvin fulfilled his promise to date. Moreover, this will be their first date. Unfortunately, until now the man has not revealed himself. It feels like you are faced with the uncertainty of a relationship.
Once got manipulation from Farel to make his mental fall, now he has a crisis of trust from a man. Fear Chalvin just do breadcrumbing¹ to him.
"You haven't changed your clothes? So, date, right?" asked Andre the barista who was beside him.
Nadya stared at the Belleria stand from her place, where there was no sign of Chalvin appearing.
"It's not possible!" he replied with a disappointed tone.
At the same time, there is a distinctive body aroma and is quite familiar. It turned out that Chalvin had just come from the opposite direction. The man appeared in a casual style wearing only a short-sleeved chocolate shirt from a famous brand.
"Sorry, I'm late! Again got stuck on the road earlier," said Chalvin, "oh, yes, we went to Oma's house first, huh? Oma must have been waiting for me."
Nadya gasps to find out they are going to visit Oma Belle's house. Because, it has been long enough not to meet the most powerful woman in the Bratajaya family. Chalvin himself has not told Oma Belle about their relationship that continues. When Oma Belle asks him to attend dinner with their old relatives, he just agrees.
Chalvin and Nadya walk towards the car park. Along the way, Chalvin clasped the girl's hand tightly. Although their age is quite far away, but they look like a delivery. This is because the character of Chalvin's oriental face makes him look younger than his actual age, supported by his appearance that is good at adjusting the fashion of young people today.
"Next week there is a long holiday. The red date is the same Thursday. Continue Saturday same Sunday. How about going to Bali?"
Nadya flinched with Chalvin's invitation. Understandably, this is the first time he established a relationship with metropolitan men from the upper class who are famous for indulging their lovers with a long vacation, to unwind during their time in the capital.
"Why? You don't like going to Bali?" chalvin asked as soon as he saw Nadya's mimic who seemed to refuse. "Are there any recommendations for places you want to visit? Oh, yeah, you have a passport, don't you?"
"No, Brother. But ... That next week I'm going home to my parents."
"Oh, in Bogor, huh?"
"Yes. Sorry ...."
"Hhhmmm .. I'm anther, huh?
"Huh?" Nadya.
"You want to know your parents. No papa, right?"
Nadya did not answer. He chose to hide his pleasure. However, Chalvin's invitation for a vacation, made him wonder if the man had previously also often invited other women to vacation? I don't know! Why think that far if Chalvin alone does not care about his past that had fallen, right?
From this close distance, Nadya could see Chalvin's handsome face clearly. Nadya's heart was struck when their eyes met. He became misbehaved and tried to set his facial expression to be ordinary in the eyes of the man.
"Cock pouting? You don't like it, do you, I take a walk?" chalvin asked with one eye narrowed.
Nadya shook her head quickly. He only hid the nervousness because they were very close and Chalvin locked his gaze instead.
"Certainly? You look really depressed."
"Not everyone can display pleasure on his face, right?" reply Nadya while turning her face. Getting such a look clearly made him misbehave.
"So you're happy right now?" chalvin asked as he raised his eyebrows.
Nadya was down. Chalvin smiled wryly as he gently pulled Nadya's chin, as if asking the girl to look at him.
"We're really a couple now. So, if there's something you don't like about me, don't hesitate!"
Nadya nodded while bowing her head again. However, Chalvin's thumbs again raised his chin until their eyes clashed again. In the next second, Chalvin's face approached gradually with his head slightly tilted.
Nadya's hand held Chalvin's chest, trying to restrain the man's movements. However, Chalvin instead took the tiny hand, then linked their fingers with a face that was getting closer to him. The distance of their lips drew closer and the breaths of the two began to blend in.
Chalvin's eyes began to dim as his lips would make landfall on Nadya's lips. However, the sound of the knocking of the car window blew away everything. Chalvin rushed down the glass window.
"Om, buy some tissue, Om! Cheap!" A teenager offers his wares to Chalvin.
While showing a sour face, Chalvin took out a piece of paper money from his wallet.
"Matsuya, Um!"
"Huh? Matsuya's? What, tuh?"
"Supervise suwun, yes, Om!"
(Suwun's temperature: thank you)
As soon as the boy, Chalvin immediately raised the window of the car. Fresh off a half-ride, a teenage busker whose front hair was long sideways stood at his car door strumming a guitar.
Jrengggs!
"The earth's sky testifies .. kujalani pain ... the earth's sky testifies ... kujalani pain ..." The busker continued to play the guitar while singing the song with his crisp voice.
"What the hell song is that? Kok kek cursing song!" cetus Chalvin with an expression of restraining horror.
"Colossal soap opera soundtrack on flying fish, Bang!"
"Replace ...change!" chalvin Pinta.
"OK, Bang!" The driver returned to pick his guitar.
Jrengggs!
"Peace ... peace .. peace .. peace .. peace .. many peace loving ..."
"Stop! Stopit! How about singing what song, anyway!" ketus Chalvin while opening his wallet.
"Song of peace, Bang. Let the earth not be hot."
"Yes, no, continue singing somewhere else!" Chalvin gave the money to the busker.
"Thank you, Bang."
Chalvin hurriedly closed the windshield of his car while grunting. The small giggling sound that was heard made him turn his face towards Nadya. Nadya then covered her mouth with a face holding a smile. Nadya's laughter made Chalvin laugh for a few seconds. He held the girl's hand again while tilting her body. Next to Chalvin's hand held Nadya's chin so that their gazes met again.
Chalvin's actions make Nadya think the man is about to continue what was delayed earlier. Sure enough, Chalvin's face began to approach slowly followed by a hand that held the side of his face. Getting closer, until the man's warm breath began to pounce on him.
At this moment, Nadya could do nothing. Chalvin's charm is too strong that his body first freezes. Their noses had intersected as Chalvin's soft lips were about to dock.
Priiiitt!
The sound of the whistle blowing loudly, successfully made the shoulders of both of them lift. In front of them right now was a parking attendant standing with a whistle that clogged his mouth. The parking attendant instructed the car to get out immediately as the access road to the exit has been stretched.
"Assem!" While exhaling a rough breath, Chalvin began to run his car.
