SUPPOSE THAT...

BIG LIAR

"See ! Brother Dave just said you look like Kirana's kid." Kiandra laughed out loud.

"Kian." Marisa's eyes were already glaring at her son's. But soon his attention was turned to his husband who also laughed. Pinched Andreas' waist until the man was surprised and glared inexplicably toward his wife. "Why are you laughing ?" his wife said it was angry.

Dave chuckled at the sound of Kaindra. But her laughter soon vanished as Kirana just silently stared at her with her tears that had washed down her cheeks.

Dave's stunned.

"Kira ?" Andreas walked straight towards her. "Why are you crying ?" ask her kahwatir.

"Not Daddy." Kirana looked away and rubbed her face many times.

Everyone there was shocked. It is not usual for Kirana to cry just because she hears the teasing of her sister.

"Even so many years his mouth was still as good as it used to be." Kirana lamented inwardly.

After explaining to all that he was just sleepy and accidentally came out tears. Without looking at Dave, Kirana went to bed.

"How's your Mommy doing, Dave ?" the question from Marisa made Dave who was watching Kirana's back who was walking away a little surprised.

"Good." Dave answers. "Mom opened a Parfume Shop in Paris to fill his spare time." Dave's eyes that had been wiped when he saw Kirana now looked radiant. "Every day Mom's health is getting better as her life spirit increases." she smiled.

"Thank God..." Marisa looked gratefully at Lalaki whom she had considered her own child. "You're certainly relieved now, Dave." Marisa says.

Once again Dave was stunned. "Leg ?" unconsciously he spoke in his heart.

"Kirana nangis Daddy, I'm sure !" Kiandra tugged at his father's arm.

"Makanya Kian don't like to make fun of Kak Kirana anymore." Andreas advised while slightly bending his tall body to be more parallel to his child.

"Usually Kirana was raging, not crying." Kiandra's face felt guilty.

Andreas smiled amusedly seeing Kiandra who was usually indifferent to her Big Brother turned out to be secretly very attentive.

"Being an adult with a job load is not easy, Kian." Andreas stroked the top of his son's head. "And maybe Kirana's sister is in that phase." her bright brown eyes stare fondly at Kiandra. "So Kian try to praise or say dear to Kak Kirana."

Marisa and Dave looked at them from where she stood.

"Dad always loved his children." Dave says.

Marisa turned her head towards him, then clung to his arm. "Dad and Mom love you, too, Dave." he smiled and walked together to sit on the couch in the living room.

"I didn't think you'd come home to meet my invitation Dave." Andrew said after they sat down. In her elus-elus Kiandra's hair was lying on her thighs with a face that looked guilty, for thinking her brother was crying because of her joke.

While Marisa went inside to make drinks for Dave. The woman was always excited when it came to Dave. He will do everything himself. Although Dave used to say rude to her, but seeing her attitude, it seems he had forgotten her, even before Dave apologized from her.

Dave smiled for a moment. "I didn't come home just to meet your invitation, Dad." he said.

In his squeeze his fingers are united by focusing two elbows on his thighs.

"Mom just got word from your mother, Dave." Her smile greeted her when she opened the door to their home in Paris. "Kirana will get married."

"Dave ?"

Andreas' voice broke his daydream.

Dave cleared his throat a few times and refocused on the conversation.

"Grandfather is old." Dave said after being able to control himself by being calm as usual. "Grandfather asked me to take his place." he said.

Andreas' face instantly brightened. "Congratulations to you Dave." he said. "President of the Sanjaya Company." he smiled proudly.

Dave was embarrassed. "No Dad, you know I don't deserve it yet." Dave's humbling. "My knowledge is a lot, but my experience is minimal. In terms of skill I was also mediocre.."

"You're Rendy's son" Andreas said sternly which made Dave stare at her. "Rendy's without learning is also smart." Andreas said again.

Dave smiled and looked down.

"Your brains are smart from birth." Andreas pointed at his own forehead. "What else you from childhood have gotten a hard upbringing from your old, old-fashioned grandfather." Andreas pinched while folding both his hands on his chest. "You can certainly be more than him, Dave." continued his steady.

Dave smiled faintly.

Marisa placed the white porcelain cup that was still billowing smoke onto the table in front of Dave sitting down.

"Drink while warm." he said.

"Thank you." Dave looked down for a moment. Take the cup of tea and sip it slowly.

Andreas and Marisa who had now been sitting next to each other in front of Dave stared at his astonishment.

"Truly like Rendy." Marisa whispers.

"Ganteng Dave." whispered Andreas did not accept and was hit by his wife.

Andreas complained, and made Kiandra who was asleep in his lap squirm for a while and then went back to sleep.

"Maybe.I'll come with Angela." Say Dave while putting the cup that he has half drunk on his place back.

"It is with great pleasure that we will welcome him." Marisa said enthusiastically.

"On Company's Birthday tomorrow I will also announce Kirana and Jonathan's marriage." Andreas says.

Dave immediately gulped, but he could still be calm even though his fingers were linked directly to clenching.

"You know that Kirana is getting married ?" Marisa asked.

"Yes, Mom. I already know." replied Dave with a faint smile.

"A !" suddenly Andreas claps both of his hands, making Marisa and Dave look towards him. "You are married alone." he proposed with a gleeful face, making the wrinkles under his eyes look more obvious because of his wide smile.

"What ?" Marisa doesn't understand.

"Dave and Kirana." Andrew looked towards his wife.

Marisa still doesn't understand.

"Dave, when did you marry your fiance ?" Andreas asked Dave who was staring at him not understanding.

"There's no talk yet, but.had to after I finished my S2 and Angela finished her ballet school." Dave answers.

"Why is that long ?" andreas's forehead is wrinkled.

"Hey, what are you planning ?" Marisa pulls her husband's arm. She was afraid her husband would do something strange.

"Why suspect so ?" andreas was upset. But her focus was back on Dave sitting in front of her. "Married this year." she said.

Dave was still staring at her.

"You're with your fiancee and Kirana with Jonathan." Andreas said excitedly. "You married together."

Dave's eyes instantly rounded.

Even as he sees Marisa's enthusiasm for her brilliant idea by hugging and kissing her cheek until Kiandra wakes up and sulks due to her disturbed sleep, Dave remains unmoved.

For years he tried to forget, instead of subsiding but the roar in his heart was getting great.

Dave bowed while holding his chest.

Sorry I can just go up now. 🙏

It is not that I am not diligent or lazy, but my circumstances are different from the past. At the moment I am getting busy with RL and very little time I have to write 1500 words in 1 chapter while the idea is not always there. 🙏

Thank you to all who still want to read my work that is still far from this good word 🙏🥺

As an author I will definitely complete my obligations by ending this story.

🙏🥰
