Be late.

~Happy Reading~

Miss Nancy was still staring at Carren waiting for her answer. For Ms. Nancy, her daughter's relationship with the man she just met was serious. Because Carren had never talked about a man who was his girlfriend. Therefore, Miss Nancy is serious and more careful to select the man her daughter is talking about.

Talks at every meeting with the mothers, began to ring in his eyes. There is always something to talk about among mothers or parents complaining about their son-in-law. Now again ngetrend, there are a lot of men starting to act upside down. Prefer to stay at home doing housewives' work and let his wife work outside the home.

Miss Nancy didn't want that to happen with her daughter, especially now that she's a worker. What if she's pregnant and has to work too. Miss Nancy did not want it to happen with her only daughter. He hopes that if he is married, he can take a break and work outside the home is not a necessity to make a living for his family.

"Name, Aaric, Ma. Aaric's brother works, and has a steady job." Said Carren confidently to convince his mother. Though he himself did not know for sure, what kind of work Aaric. But he was sure, Aaric had a good job. From his attitude and lifestyle, Carren was convinced of that.

"Arra sure about that? You won't agree, if the job isn't clear. Mama did not ask that she should be of high rank or position in the office. The important thing is to have a good job, which is halal to support his family." Miss Nancy said firmly and seriously.

"Yeah, Mom. Arra is sure of that. What Arra wants to talk to Mama now, Aaric wants to meet with Mama tomorrow. Kak Aaric called and told him that tomorrow he arrived in Jakarta. Aaric's sister wants to meet Mama and Arra." Carren said quietly and hoped that his mother would understand and not ask much more about Aaric.

Miss Nancy looked at Carren with a serious look. If a man named Aaric wants to meet him, then he's serious about Carren. There's one plus for Aaric in Miss Nancy's eyes. Because she's not only dating her daughter out there, but is willing to introduce herself to her. Meaning she is serious about being in a relationship and appreciating her daughter.

"Okay, then. Does he want to come here?" Ask Miss Nancy, starting to take it seriously, so that tomorrow morning will prepare what for the man when he comes to see you. He did not ask about Aaric anymore, because tomorrow he would meet him. So you can ask the person directly.

"No, Ma. Sis Aaric asked Arra for a reservation for the three of us to meet. So tomorrow we'll meet him at the restaurant that Arra will choose." Carren said quietly, but seriously convinced his mother. Miss Nancy nodded in relief. 'Means tomorrow there is no need to prepare something to welcome him.' Miss Nancy is in.

"good. Then, now we rest. Arra will prepare what must be prepared. Mama wait and follow what Arra has planned. Mama believes you know best. Mama will pray for everything you plan to do tomorrow." Said Miss Nancy, standing up from the dining table and rubbing her daughter's head fondly. With a relieved heart, Miss Nancy walked towards her room.

Carren is still in the kitchen to tidy up the dining table and clean all the eating devices with a relieved heart. Her mother did not ask any further questions about Aaric. After everything in the kitchen was neat, he went to the room to see the place that was in accordance with Aaric's request so that tomorrow morning he could make a reservation.

.***.

The next day, Carren went to the office as usual. He made a reservation at a place he had chosen as a meeting place, as well as for dinner. Then he sent a message to inform Aaric of their meeting place. But Aaric did not reply to his chat. Carren was stunned for a moment, when he saw his message had not been read and could not contact Aaric. 'Is Brother Aaric in flight?' Carren. He thinks so while working.

After consulting, Carren returned home, the security personnel assigned to escort Carren straight back to Sero and reported everything Carren had done today to their leader, Sapta.

By late afternoon, Carren had taken a shower and changed into a pretty good outfit. He did not want to disappoint Aaric when he saw her later. She had bought clothes for him and also his mother after returning from Bali. He believed, what Aaric had said, to be willing to meet his mother. So he prepared his clothes, if needed.

Miss Nancy was surprised, when Carren gave her a nice dress to wear." Mama used this, because Arra chose a pretty good place as a meeting place. So we also have to wear pretty good clothes, so as not to slam." Carren smiled, answering the gaze of his mother who wanted to ask.

Miss Nancy nodded in understanding her daughter's intentions. Because he knew, Carren didn't spend any money on something that didn't matter. Looking at what Carren was doing, meant that this was something important to him.

By the time allotted, they were ready as well as the driver who had been asked by Carren to drive them to the restaurant. Carren reservation of a comfortable and private place as requested by Aaric. He chose Goropaku Restaurant and chose the room they had both had for the first time.

They arrived before the time that was said to Aaric. Carren didn't want Aaric waiting for them. He took the time while waiting for Aaric by explaining the type of menu his mother could eat.

"Mama come, Aara. If Arra can eat, Mama can eat." Said Ms. Nancy quietly, after Carren explained the various menus her mother could choose. Miss Nancy was amazed by the restaurant her daughter chose, because it was the first time to this luxurious place. Just as she was about to walk into the restaurant and see the people who came to the restaurant, Ms. Nancy realized why her daughter was buying new clothes for them. The classes are very different, like the earth and the sky.

After waiting for some time, Carren began to fidget. He looked at the clock on his phone and checked his chat with Aaric. When he saw the chat was unread and it was almost seven hours as presented to Aaric, Carren began to worry because there had been no news from Aaric.

"Why Arra? Did something happen?" Miss Nancy asked, seeing her daughter's anxiety.

"Not really, Ma. There's just no word from Aaric. It might be stuck, so it's a little late." Said Carren to cheer up and try to calm down so that his mother did not ask again.

"Not to get nervous like that. Pray, so that the journey is smooth and there are no obstacles. With such unsettled calm, is it able to make the streets smooth? Pray in your heart that all may go well." Ms. Nancy advised, in order to calm her daughter who was beginning to fidget.
