THE FORTUNATES

FATHER'S CONSENT

    This morning before leaving for the office Beatrice had told her Father and Mother that Kendrick would be visiting tonight.  Father and Mother Beatrice was quite surprised by Kendrick's visit which impressed rush –. But they agreed and allowed Kendrick to visit. Beatrice's thoughts were mixed from the moment she stepped out of the house, afraid that her parents would still be unable to accept Kendrick's whereabouts.

“ I've been in front of stop “ Beatrice told Kendrick via phone.  Beatrice and Kendrick agreed to meet at a stop near the hotel where she was staying, and a black car stopped near Beatrice shortly after she hung up. Beatrice watched the man sitting at the wheel, and the masked man waved at her. The handsome man apparently did not invite anyone, thought Beatrice might he would bring Clovis. Soon Beatrice got into the car and sat next to Kendrick, ‘girlfriend’ it looks very charming with a long shirt without a blue crate combined with black material pants.

“ Show me the way yes, I have not been so familiar with this city “ said Ken after Beatrice finished putting her seat belt, the beautiful woman nodded. There was not much talk between them, occasionally Beatrice looked at Kendrick, although half of her face was covered with a mask clearly visible outline of her good looks.

“ Ken, my father is a little stiff, so I hope you will be patient with him. He will understand when we give a reasonable explanation“ Beatrice broke the silence between them.

“ Of course I will try Beatrice “ Ken stay focused with the wheel.

“ Just call me Be, because when you call me Beatrice my family will instantly know that we are strangers “ Kendrick then turn towards Beatrice for a moment.

“ Okay, Be “ he replied briefly.

    Not long after Ken's car arrived in Beatrice's yard, Ken immediately parked the car removing his mask and rushed down to open the trunk.

“ Gosh, you don't plan on offering merchandise to my parents do you ? “ Beatrice said as she watched Kendrick take out some brown boxes that might contain food or other hand fruit.

“ Do not dare to touch it, I only buy it for your parents “ candles while lifting the box that has been neatly arranged and tied. For a moment, Kendrick breathed as if he were nervous.

    Beatricepun opened the door of his house that was not locked, he allowed Ken to enter while the house looked quiet as usual.

“ Ma'am, I came home “ Beatrice said as she entered the living room.

 “ Sit “ continued Beatrice on Ken who is still trailing behind him.

    From the direction of the dining room came out Father and Mother Beatrice together, Ken looked back on his feet as he looked

 beatrice's parents approached her. He bowed his body and extended his hand to Father and Mother Beatrice.

“ Good evening Sir, introduce me Kendrick Mr “ Ken said as Beatrice's father grabbed her hand. Then he changed muchalami Beatrice's mother, Ken smiled very charming and seemed to smile also they were lips of Mother Beatrice.

“ Please sit Mr. Ken “ replied Father Beatrice is quite stiff. Soon Beatrice went back to brew tea, not hearing any conversation until after Beatrice served drinks to her Mother's Father and Kendrick. Beatrice sits next to Ken, trying to look as natural as possible.

“ So this Master is really Beatrice's boyfriend? “ reveals Beatrice's father without being stale.

“ Just call me Ken Tuan, it's true I'm Beatrice's boyfriend and my intention of coming here is to ask for Mr and Mrs' approval, I want to marry Beatrice Mr. “ Ken also straightforwardly convey his purpose of coming to Beatrice's house, a glance Beatrice glanced at her Father who was sighing quite long and looked very upset.

“ Out there is bad news about me Sir, but I hope you can trust me to make Beatrice “ happy Kendrick continued before Beatrice's father said anything.

“ Is there any sincerity of this request? “ as if Beatrice's father doubted Kendrick's intentions.

  “ All this time we never prevented Beatrice from doing the thing she liked, even we never meddled in the affairs of Beatrice's heart. Only this is heavy enough for me as a Father, too great a distance that stretches between you and Beatrice “ Beatrice's father begins to express his gloom.

“ You are a very famous artist, your family is not from an ordinary family like us, Your father is also even an executive in a large company. While Beatrice? He was raised from a simple family, just ordinary life is far from the impression of luxury like you. Will good – be fine for Beatrice and also your career? “ connect Father Beatrice again. Kendrick seemed to think for a moment, digesting all the anxiety expressed by Beatrice's father.

“ Sir, I know this is not an easy thing, for a year of dating we had to refrain from exposing everything. When we met we had to settle – end like thieves, even to eat together in public places openly we could not. But because of Beatrice's heart, our relationship can go as far and as well as this sir, this makes me even more want to keep and protect Beatrice Mr. “ a very sweet-sounding lie out of Kendrick's mouth.

“ So, wouldn't it be better for us to marry Mister? I really want to make Beatrice happy, give more attention without having to think about distance and time. We can meet and share happiness together. I love Beatrice very much Sir, please trust Beatrice on me “ sounds pleading tone from Kendrick. Beatrice let out a long sigh, enjoying the sweet romance drama created by her future contract husband.

    As Beatrice expected more, she hoped that this was all a reality not just a charade of human design. But Beatrice immediately woke up from – wishes, then blinked her eyes while shaking – shook her head slowly.

    While his father was still silent and staring at Beatrice fixed, Beatrice tau twinkle from his father's eyes still felt doubtful but at the same time his father also began to melt. Then Beatrice's father pulled the teacup over the table and sipped it slowly.

“ Will you be good – is fine with our circumstances? Can your parents love Beatrice? “ voice Father Beatrice vibrates.

“ Sir, I know Beatrice very well. Sincerity from inside her heart, it was a very extraordinary thing that I did not easily get from others. No one can give this precious thing but Lord Beatrice, sincerity is the most important thing for me and my family. Because his heart is sincere, my whole family loves Beatrice very much, especially I Mr. “ said Kendrick assures, no doubt Beatrice's father became slowly tired because of hearing Kendrick's sweet answer.

“ A man to hold is what he says, so I hope you will make Beatrice happy forever. Never make Beatrice sad even cry “ stressed Beatrice's father approved Kendrick's request.

“ Thank you Sir, I will continue to make Beatrice “ happy Kendrick smiled.

    As Kendrick recalled all the things he had brought with him, he reached out to Beatrice's mother, and Beatrice accepted with a smile.

“ Mistress, this is a little parcel deposited by my Mother. My mother expressed her gratitude, for giving birth to a daughter as good as Beatrice “ Kendrick said. Mother Beatrice looks glazed – glass while wiping Kendrick's hands gently.

“ So, when are you planning to get married ? “ ask Beatrice's father later.

Kendrick soft.

“ Two more months ? “ the voice of the father of two children sounded surprised, Kendrick nodded.

“ Isn't it too fast? “ Sela Ibu Beatrice?

“ I do want to marry Beatrice Madam immediately, I do not want Beatrice glimpsed by others. Fans Beatrice very much Mistress “ Kendrick replied while joking, making Mother Beatrice chuckle.

“ What can we do to help Father's Daughter's wedding ? “ the mature brown man looked at his daughter with a deep radiance of affection.

“ Father, approval from Father and Mother is enough for us. Anyway I don't want to throw a festive party “ now Beatrice is sounding.

“ Let us marry simple Father “ continued Beatrice and her Father looks nodding assuring the wishes of her daughter.

    Arrived – suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, it turns out Kath. He was very surprised when he entered the house to find his idol artist sitting in the family room. She looked at her brother and Kendrick and covered her mouth with both hands.

 “ Don't be like – like you little boy, I've warned him to be your sister-in-law “ seductress Beatrice

to Kath. How people would not have thought how Kath idolized Kendrick so much, even until his HP wallpaper was a selfie photo Kendrick while in the car with Beatrice.

“ Brother, may I hug your girlfriend ? “ Kath looks very excited and can not resist seeing her idol artist. Hearing the words ‘prospective sister-in-law’ Kendrick also stood up and approached Kath.

“ Must be Kath? Nice to meet you Kath “ Kendrick smiles so sweet.

“I beg Brother, permission would I hug your girlfriend “ Kath does not care about the whereabouts of Father and Mother there, indeed the soul of fansgirl is ingrained in Kath.

“ Hug him as you please “ just as Beatrice clenches her mouth, Kath immediately slugs Kendrick who is still standing nearby.

“ I think I want to faint brother “ said Kath from inside Ken's deck and they all open to seeing the childish behavior – kanakan Kath.

“ Thank you for being a fan of my sister Ipar “ Ken told Kath.

“ Ah already Kath, this is the last time hugging Kendrick yes she will be your sister soon. There shower Kath, come Kendrick we have dinner first “Dad already called Ken by his name, Beatrice became touched. This indicates, Beatrice's father can already accept Kendrick's whereabouts.

“ Good Dad, later I ask for a photo together Yes Brother Kendrick “ cried Kathleen while walking towards her room.

    They immediately went to the dining room, dined with a potluck meal that Mother Beatrice had prepared, that night Ken ate very greedily.

“ Sir, Madam may I call Mister and Missa with Father and Mother “ Ken said before putting his last mouth in his mouth. Beatrice's father and mother answered him with a nod together. There was relief in the eyes of Beatrice's mother, and this made Beatrice again feel guilty because this marriage was not a real marriage. ‘ I'm sorry Mom, Dad ‘ Beatrice said inwardly.

    Not nine o'clock Ken resigned because tomorrow had to take pictures since the morning, as well as saying goodbye because tomorrow will go straight back to his city because the work schedule is really crowded. Beatrice will also return to her boarding house because she has started working as usual, also because Ken does not memorize the path so Beatrice must accompany him until he returns to the hotel safely.

“ Father, Mother thank you for your consent so that I can marry Beatrice. Next week my parents will officially present a marriage proposal to Beatrice. At once I say goodbye because tomorrow after shooting must be back soon because there is work that cannot be delayed “ said Ken before leaving the house of Beatrice's parents.

“ We entrust Beatrice to you Kendrick “ Beatrice's Dad said.

“ Thank you Dad for his trust. Thank you also Kath, remain my fan “ continued Kendrick while smiling sweetly at the thick black haired sweet girl.

“ Forgive Mom for not preparing anything for your parents Ken “ Mother Beatrice said before they left.

“ Is fine – what bu “ replied Ken softly.

    They soon left Beatrice's house, Kendrick put on his mask and started the car he was carrying. They moved away from the courtyard with the consent of Beatrice's father and mother.

“ Second half succeeded, thanks Be “ said Ken when the car had broken through the highway.

“ You are indeed a great actor “ Beatrice makes fun of Kendrick, while Kendrick only smiles visibly from her narrowed eyelids.

    Unconsciously Beatrice thought of Ken, the shadow of Ken's smiling face flashed through her mind. Kendrick's smile was so deadly that Beatrice unknowingly stared at the masked man driving the car without even blinking.

“ Be, what do you see? “ Ken unfastened Beatrice's stare while shaking his hand in front of Beatrice's face, making her misbehave and turning her face to the Jedela.

“ Put me down at the stop “ Beatrice switched the conversation, while Ken chuckled at Beatrice's blushing behavior.
