As Carren wanted, he was escorted home by the two security members Aaric entrusted to guard him. Upon arriving home, Carren was greeted with a shocked face. In addition to returning home still at work, he also wore a shirt that did not belong to him, covering his clothes.
"Arra take a shower, Ma. After the new bath Arra talked to Mama." Carren said as he saw his mother about to ask him. Miss Nancy nodded, then walked into the kitchen to make hot tea for her.
After taking a shower and wearing house clothes, Carren sat down on the dining table chair to drink the drink that Mama had made. Miss Nancy also sat in front of her, out of curiosity about Carren's unusual appearance when she came home from work. He also wanted to know why Carren had come home from work before the office.
"Look, Ma. It was from my office to Kak Aaric's apartment ...... " Carren tells Aaric asking him to come to the apartment and cook soup for their lunch, so that his clothes are dirty. Miss Nancy heard Carren's story from casual to serious.
"Carreeen... You went to his apartment? Don't you know, that you can't do right now? Why do you dare go there yourself? Does he live alone there or with his family?" Ask Miss Nancy in a row, for fear that Carren has done something wrong or something happened to her. Although Aaric had met her and asked for her blessing to get in touch with Carren, Miss Nancy did not want her daughter to be rash, so she was judged negatively by the Aaric family.
"There's with his family, Ma. I'm sorry, didn't tell Mama because it was so sudden and rushed to go shopping to go to her apartment..... " Carren recounts the barrage made because of Aaric's request to contact him at the office. He did not tell her about it the second time to Aaric's apartment, fearing that her mother was getting angry.
"So you've met Aaric's father? Will he be able to take you well?" Ms. Nancy's question softened somewhat, when Carren said he had met her father Aaric. Miss Nancy wanted to know, because she was still worried that her daughter was not well received by the Aaric family. All this time, Carren had never told her that she had met Aaric's family.
"Yes, Ma. He can accept me well. Papa Kak Aaric is friendly, warm and wise." Carren conveyed his impression of Mr. Biantra. "But it's not about Papa Kak Aaric that I want to talk to Mama about. I want to talk about Aaric's plan to come propose to me tomorrow night, Ma." Said Carren slowly, looking at his mother to see her reaction. Nancy was surprised to hear what Carren said.
"Isn't it wrong? Didn't you say that tomorrow, we're not ready? Mama is not ready to accept him as your future husband. But Mama told you, will tidy up this house, so that it can be a decent place to receive their arrival when proposing to you." Miss Nancy said seriously, firmly and somewhat emotionally.
"Didn't Mama tell you that when she came home from the last meeting with Aaric? We have to clean this house, because it has not fixed it for a long time and it has been very dull. Mama thought, you've understood what Mama means." Miss Nancy said as she looked at Carren seriously.
"In addition to this house needs repairs for your application, but also to stop the shaking of the neighbors who always say blatantly or insinuate when passing in front of our house." Ms. Nancy said to be emotional, remembering all the neighbor's slanted words.
"It can buy hundreds of millions of cars, but the house is not repaired. Mama didn't say that to you, because according to Mama what they said there was a point. Maybe first they think people's cars are being tucked in here. But it's been here for a long time, so they think it's our car." Miss Nancy revealed what she had been hearing all along.
"Yes, Ma. I understand, so I asked Mama to help find a handyman to see this house. If it is repaired and painted again, how much will it cost." Carren spoke slowly and patiently, realizing his mother was still surprised by what he said and the impact on the environment with the presence of Recky's car.
"Mama has asked for help, but the exchange has not come because it has not finished its work elsewhere. Couldn't Aaric put it off? At that time he said in the near future will come to propose, but Mama did not think so fast. You haven't met his family, either, how do you know if they accept you or not. So Mama thought, fast, fast, in months, not days like this." Miss Nancy expressed her protest.
"Yes, Ma. I thought so too, not so fast. That's why my clothes were dirty because of the fall of the tablespoon because I heard what Aaric said to me wanted to come propose tomorrow." Carren said, trying to explain that his mother is not getting more emotional.
"Then what do you think? Because this house cannot be tidied up in one day. Not one more day, because we also have to prepare something to welcome them." Said Bu Biantra, according to his emotional level because he saw his daughter was also confused.
"So Her father Brother Aaric probably understood seeing me surprised. So ask Brother Aaric to discuss his plan with me. I told you, we're planning to paint the house and it's impossible to finish in a day." Carren tries to win her Mama by explaining what happened in the apartment.
"Then how's the reaction? Can it be delayed?"Ask Miss Nancy to hope.
"Sir Aaric asked me to talk to Mama. Would it be possible if the event was held at the venue of our last meeting at that time. So not in this house...." Carren's speech stopped, as it was cut by his Mother.
"Yeah, Mama understands. If Aaric doesn't want to postpone it, go ahead. Maybe in that place it's better, because here it's not possible. Mama didn't want to embarrass you in front of Aaric's family when she saw the condition of this house." Miss Nancy said she accepted Aaric's proposal.
"I thought so too, Ma. But Aaric said he wanted to close the restaurant for the proposal, so I disagree. Time for a handful of people to eat and the proposal event, must spend that much money. Mama knows her own restaurant. For the three of us dinner alone, I closed my eyes. Especially when you have to close the restaurant. Maybe it could cost more than tidying up this house." Carren revealed to his Mama, what he could not say to Aaric.
"Mama also disagrees. Why waste money on a short-lived event. Although their money is a lot, but do not let. Use it for more important, maybe for your home or a wedding later. Tell Aaric, Mama agreed to hold the restaurant, but it won't have to close." Said Miss Nancy a little relieved, because there is no need to rush to tidy up her house.
I used to say that too. But Aaric did not agree if the restaurant was not closed. Because Papa Aaric can't eat in crowded places, Ma. So Kak Aaric wants to close it when the event takes place." Carren said quietly, so that his mother can help him think how good.
