Thank You for True Love

12 (NOT) MATCHMAKING - PART 2

Looks like that question was Dad's last question for Adit.

Mom and Dad smiled at the same time. Then Dad picked up the phone that was placed on the table, and immediately spoke to someone across the street, with the loudspeaker on so we could all hear it.

⁇ ️ "Where, candidate besan? You heard it for yourself, your son said anything.."

⁇ ️ "Hahaa.., yes Arya. Is he not like me? Tough and brave.."

️ "Ok ok, I admit Satrio, your son is amazing, unyielding like you.."

⁇ ️ "It looks like our matchmaking plan was successful before it was done. Turns out they're fooling around on their own without us having to arrange it.."

Then they laughed together, over the phone line that was still being opened.

Adit and I looked at each other with confused eyes. What is this really..?! Balloon candidate? The kid? The matchmaking?

While Mommy, laugh with Daddy..

⁇ ️ "So, when will you and your wife come here? Do not over time Satrio, do not let the other first come to take your future daughter-in-law, hahaa.."

️ "Soon we'll be there. I'll tell you okay, candidate besan."

⁇ ️ "Ok, ready.. I hung up the phone. It seems they need an explanation from me right now."

⁇ ️ "Well Arya. Bye bye.."

Dad turned off his phone.

Adit and I are still waiting for Dad to explain. Because at this time Adit and I both do not understand anything about the conversation Dad had with a friend earlier.., named Satrio..?!

"It doesn't understand yet..?" That's all Dad said.

"Dad, who was that? How did you talk to us about it?" I can't wait to ask Dad for an explanation.

"Adit, cook you don't know whose voice that was..?"

My laugh made us even more confused. Adit who was asked even more dumbfounded.

"That was your Papa, Satrio, Om's High School friend."

"Huhh..??" Adit and I were shocked at the same time.

"So.., you know that Papa already knows each other?" Ask Adit.

"Yes, we've been friends since high school."

Then Dad told me at length about their friendship, Dad and Om Satrio, Adit's father.

"You know, your grandparents are both from the same town? And incidentally Adit's father and father are also one school, we are friends from High School even like brothers. But after graduation, Satrio went to Jakarta, while Dad went to college here. Well that's it.., as time passed and due to each other's busyness, gradually we lost communication with each other.."

Adit and I listened carefully, because we really did not know before.

"One year ago, there was a high school reunion. It was there that we met again after a long time apart with no news. Sharing stories until we find out that our children are studying at the same college. Starting from there, we plan to match you both up.."

"But after we sent each other your photos, then we realized, it turns out you have been in a relationship before we arranged a meeting plan for you. And finally, it happened as it did today..."

I closed the story with a happy face. While Adit and I still can't believe this. Today everything happened full of surprises.

"Adit, if you don't mind, stay here tonight. Today must be exhausting for you. It is not good to force home in a state of exhaustion. You drive a car alone.."

Mother who had been quiet more, asked Adit not to rush home today.

"Yes, Adit. Rest here for a day. Let Om talk to your papa later. He won't mind. Think of it as a bonus for your bravery, future daughter-in-law.." Father agreed to Mother's request with a bright smile on his face.

"Good Om, Auntie. Thank you very much.." Adit immediately agreed to the words of Father and Mother.

He looked at me while grinning himself. Don't be asked again my feelings, it's definitely happy because this is the first time Adit can stay at home, what else with a new status as a prospective daughter-in-law.

"Dear, thank you. Today I am relieved and very happy.."

Adit held my hand and held it to his chest, while his right hand held the steering wheel.

Sometimes he rubbed the back of my hand with his thumb. I still silently watched him nonstop. I still can't believe, today Adit has shown his sincerity to Mother's Father, asking me to marry him.

"Prospective husband..."

I unconsciously muttered without taking my eyes off her. Adit kissed my hand which he still held, breaking half my daydream.

"Have been satisfied yet, looking at your handsome and awkward husband-to-be..?!"

I tried to hide my shame from being discovered. I turned my eyes out the window. But it made Adit tease me even more.

"Why shame, baby? Keep glancing at me, I'm just grinning.." His grip grew tighter in his chest clutches.

Suddenly I remembered something..

"Darling, you owe me one explanation..!!"

Adit turned a glance at me, after which returned to the focus of driving.

"What debt? Debt to marry you..?"

I didn't break the joke. I immediately asked Adit to stop at an outdoor concept cafe in front of us. After ordering a drink, I took Adit to an empty table in the front of the cafe.

"Okay, now explain to me, what you said last afternoon. You told Dad that you were working..?"

Adit who was sitting in front of me laughed a little at me.

"Emang yes.., so why..?"

"Why haven't you ever told me the same story?"

"Because you never asked me.." Answer's short.

"Darling, I'm serious, don't joke around..!"

For a long time I was happy also with Adit's calm attitude without sin. After our drinks came, Adit finally started the story.

"At first I was just idly helping Papa's furniture business, after high school first. Previously, Papa's marketing target was only on a national scale. Biasalah, the managerial ranks in Papa's office are still filled with old circles. Then I tried to find an online marketing gap to market products from Papa's company to the international market.."

I began to listen carefully, because I was curious about Adit's income. Not that matre yes, just want to know, because last afternoon he with his pede agreed to Dad's requirements to meet all my needs.

"After some time, I finally began to be able to control the foreign market, market our flagship products and start to have many customers.."

"Saking fun to enjoy my busy life, I postponed my college for two years.."

Hearing her story, I became completely amazed by Adit.

"Then, after you went to college, what was your job?"

"I work online, baby. I can finish anywhere. In addition, there are some people who help take care of all the work in the field. There's also one assistant who helps me with my work at Papa's office."

"Your pedal was amazing when I was sacked. Even I'm the one who wants to faint.." I laughed to myself considering the gripping atmosphere earlier this afternoon.

"And it turns out that we are being bullied by our parents, hahaa.." Add Adit. Then we both laughed and laughed at ourselves..
