The Charm Behind the Mist

Mutual Understand.

~Happy Reading~

Aaric immediately expressed his plans to propose to Carren. Hearing Aaric's sudden and serious speech, Carren who was eating choked. His face instantly reddened and a dime in his hand fell onto his lap. Aaric patted Carren's back gently with a smile and then gave Carren a glass of water "Silver by the way, like, right." Carren said after drinking and felt his throat better.

Mr. Biantra's turn to choke on hearing Carren's speech was stifled and ended with the right word. He had just heard such a joke. Jekob who sat next to him immediately patted and rubbed Mr. Biantra's back slowly and gave a drink to relieve his throat.

"I understand, why Mama likes to avoid talking if she is eating. Turns out to prevent something like this, this, apparently." Carren said with a smile, remembering his mother, who always warned him if he wanted to talk. 'Wait after eating or swallowing what is being eaten.'

Hearing what Carren said, they all ended up eating in silence. No one spoke or commented on anything. "Well, just talk. If you eat silently like this, it's disturbed by the sound of swallowing chicken." Said Mr. Biantra protesting, because it was too quiet and he did not like it. He felt at home eating with his wife. What passes through the throat can be heard. All serious about the food in front of him.

Aaric and Jekob immediately choked on hearing what Mr. Biantra said. Aaric had just heard his father was able to joke around with his chirps. Carren reflexively patted Aaric on the back beside him and begged him for a drink. The same thing was done by Mr. Biantra to Jekob beside him. Mr. Biantra felt guilty to see Aaric's reddened face and watery eyes.

"Maybe able to speak, but not say the magic word times, Om." Carren said spontaneously, because he was used to hearing the jokes of his employees. He instantly shut his mouth when he saw Mr. Biantra, Aaric and Jekob looked at him in a gasp.

"Uupss... Tried it, brother. Eat it with this sambal." Said Carren while putting tofu and chili on Aaric's plate. He tried to distract the three men who were looking at him. Suddenly the three of them laughed as they looked at Carren's reddened and misbehaved face.

Aaric placed the spoon and fork in his hand and stood up to take tissue. "Areally who said the magic word?" Aaric said after cleaning his mouth, nose and eyes with tissue. She also gives a tissue to her Papa and Jekob who are holding back laughter, seeing Carren answer Aaric by pointing at his own face.

"Yes, right, Carren. This tofu and sambal is very good. If we eat with this again tonight, I want to." Mr. Biantra said after trying to know and sambal made by Carren. Aaric and Jekob then tried and nodded, saying what Mr. Biantra said. Aaric gave an ok gesture with his finger.

Yellow tofu that is not fried dry, very suitable with carren-made chili. It is not really a slab like in general. It was just soy sauce coupled with celery leaves and chunks of cayenne pepper. So the taste is very different, sweet, a little spicy and there is a taste of celery mixed with soft tofu. In a blink of a know already disappeared from the plate and the chili is not venomous. Carren smiled happily to see her bestselling sweet year.

"Waaah... This tempeh is also very good to eat with hot rice." Mr. Biantra said after trying tempe diced and denounced by Carren. Mr. Biantra is like a culinary who is trying cuisine and giving his assessment.

Hearing what Mr. Biantra said, Aaric and Jekob also tried. After tasting it, they nodded in agreement. Aaric again gave an ok gesture with his finger.

"Let it be this way, don't rush to be moved." Aaric said upon seeing Carren would clean the table after they finished eating. Aaric wanted them to sit back for a moment after finishing almost all the menu Carren had prepared. All that is left is chicken soup, but the boiled chicken leaves the bones in the plate. Carren sat down again, following Aaric's request.

"You're serious, you want to go propose to Carren tomorrow?" Mr. Biantra asked, given the seriousness of Aaric's response to his words. He wanted to make sure that Carren could be his son-in-law. A man will fall in love with a woman who can fill her stomach with delicious food made by his hands. Likewise with the man-in-law against his female ghost. Beiau wanted Aaric not to think for too long if it felt suitable or a lot of consideration given his age was more than enough to marry and become a father.

"Seriously, Pa. Later after this, Carren spoke with his mother so that he was ready to welcome us. Because only the three of us are coming, so it might not take much preparation." Said Aaric while stroking the soft back of Carren who was looking at him. A gesture given by Aaric, so that Carren calm down and just follow what he planned.

"If that's your plan, Papa agrees. And what about the Papa? Will he be able to accept your decision easily?" Ask Mr. Biantra, because Aaric only said his Mama. While the one who is rather difficult to let go of his daughter, is his father. Mr. Biantra judged based on his position, if as the father of a daughter like Carren.

"His father is dead, so only alone with his mother. Carren's an only child." Aaric explained to Mr. Biantra, Carren and Jekob just silently heard.

"Ooh... Oh, sorry, yeah. Aaric hasn't told you much about Carren, so don't know. Later after this and there's time, we can talk." Mr. Biantra understood and loved Carren even more after hearing Aaric's explanation. 'Pantes, he treated me like his father.' Mr. Biantra said in his heart

"Papa understands what you mean, Aaric. But the good news is, after this you talk to Carren so that he can understand your intentions as well." Mr. Biantra said so, seeing Carren speechless at Aaric's plan. He wants the decision to be made based on the results of both, not just from his son's side.

"Yes, Pa. Jekob, help me lift all this up, I want to talk to Carren." Aaric said to Jekob who was listening to all the conversations that were going on.

"Ready, sir." Speak Jekob aloud. Then they were all grateful for the food that had been enjoyed, then stood up leaving the dining table. Carren, feeling bad, wants to help Jekob, but Aaric forbids and takes him to the living room.

"Are you seriously going home tomorrow to propose?" Carren asked seriously, as he did not expect the time to be so fast. Indeed Aaric had told his Mama that he would come to propose officially at home in the near future, but Carren did not think this close. She was sure that her mother would think the same as her.
