The Friend Yang Kunikahi

4. Meet Wife Candidate

Leo was asked by his mother to go to the house of his future father-in-law, to meet the future wife who he said was curious to meet the man who would become her husband. Indeed the mother said Luna had been told about this matchmaking last night by the woman's parents. Obviously, he refused and there was a quarrel between the child and the father, until finally Luna decided to give up and asked the father to bring him to meet the man of his parents' choice.

Riding his car at an average speed, Leo thought about how he would respond when Luna knew that Leo was the man who would accompany her in the car. Along the way, Leo arranged the words he would say to the girl later. The closer the distance of Luna's house makes Leo's heart bedebar faster. He was nervous too.

After pressing the bell three times, the pinter opens. The beautiful and shady face of Sari who welcomed Leo's arrival, told her to come in and let her sit down. Only this first time Leo came to a big house that is not much different from his home, ah errat his father's house. Although he had been friends with Luna for a long time, Leo had not once come to this house and knew the family of the woman who became his best friend for almost five years at once who would become his wife later.

They gather more at Lyra's house or in the OSIS room and cafes, so it's natural that at this time Leo feels foreign and awkward. Looking at all directions to find the whereabouts of women who will be married, until Sari returned from the kitchen to serve cold orange juice with sponge that looks still warm.

“Sorry, Son Leo, Mama can only provide this to entertain you,” said Sari.

Leo shook his head quickly. “Gak what Tan... uh Ma, this is enough kok.”

Sari smiled at the awkwardness of her future daughter-in-law. It was natural to remember this was the first time the handsome man had come here, that too at his invitation.

“You'll meet, Luna?” Sari asked. Leo slightly nodded his head making Sari again float her friendly smile, hoping that the young man in front of her would no longer feel awkward.

Sari first set her foot towards the second floor where Luna's room was, followed by Leo from behind who was busy researching every corner of this mansion, which was the place to be, and had unknowingly stopped in front of the door painted pink, the only door with a different color than the others.

“Mama stay down, huh? You just come in to talk about your marriage,” said Sari with a gentle smile that never subsided. Leo smiled then nodded looking at Sari's departure, then looked at the door in front of her. Many times sighing to neutralize the crazy heartbeat before finally venturing to knock on the door.

One tap

Two taps

Three taps. There were no signs of the owner of the room opening until finally Leo back knocked and yes, the sound of the key in the swivel can be heard and before long Luna's face out. It was clearly a shock on Luna's face that suddenly stiffened.

Leo smiled awkwardly. “Hai Lun, just finished shower?”

A stupid question that no one knew the answer to, seeing Luna who was still wearing a towel wrapped around her wet hair.

“Lo why come here?” ask Luna wonder. Obviously the woman was astonished, because no matter how the first time Leo went to his house, and the confusion grew again the man was at the door of his room.

“Don't want to tell me to come in?” luna's eyes were getting squeaky.

“For what?” Leo exhaled tired, pushing the pink door open wider and entered without being told by the owner.

“What the heck lo, just go in!” luna growled when she realized her best friend was sitting on the edge of her bed, researching every inch of the room dominated by pink and white.

“Leo out! It's not polite to go into a virgin's room. Only su..”

“Gue's your future husband, Lun. So, I'm entitled to enter here,” Leo replied before the woman finished her speech.

Luna's body stiffened, her face hardened, her eyes perfectly rounded and her mouth gaping. A few seconds passed by the woman realized from her shock and immediately stared intently at the man sitting quietly on the pink-clothed bed.

“What did you say? Try repeat?” Luna walked over to Leo still staring at the man in disbelief.

“Ngarang lo, Le,” said Luna still has not stopped her laughter.

“Gue is your future husband, Lun.” Leo's voice turned serious. Luna's laughter stopped and her body stiffened again.

“Didn't you ask your parents to meet the man they're marrying? So, you must know why I'm here?” Luna looked in place, the face of the beautiful woman flushed red and her palms clenched. Leo knew the woman was holding back emotions.

“Why should lo?” asked Luna to open her voice after a few minutes of silence.

“Why don't you ask your parents? Not because I do not want to answer, but that is also my question,” reply Leo flatly.

“Keep why don't you refuse?” luna asked a question.

“Udah I did, but you know 'right the result? I can't do anything but accept,” back the answer Leo gave. Luna growled in annoyance, her face clearly emitting anger and her eyes clearly showing dislike.

Leo had guessed before that the beautiful woman would be surprised to hear this fact. Although I can guess a rejection that will be received, but hearing directly from the woman's mouth makes the side of Leo's heart slightly hurt.

Leo only let the woman who would be his wife nag alone, expressing rejection. Leo enjoyed every expression given by the beautiful woman, seeing her upset face made Leo chuckle, feel funny, what else Luna nagged with hands and feet that did not stop moving, pacing back and forth in front of Leo who was still sitting at the side of the bed.

“Stop deh, Lun ears I'm sick hear your babble. My stomach is hungry, mending now eat first, you are angry also need energy.” Leo got up from his seat to Luna who again hardened her face.

“I don't want to know this wedding has to be ba...!”

Not finished Luna spoke, Leo's lips landed on Luna's lips, making the beautiful woman stop her speech and widen her eyes, surprised by what Leo did.

“Lo be...” again, the kiss on the thin lips that Leo lay makes Luna again stop her speech.

“Lo stop nagging Lun, I'm hungry.”

Knowing Luna was about to make her protest again quickly Leo warned the woman, threatening to kiss her again which made Luna finally stop giving protest. An annoyed grunt then grabbed the towel over her head, threw it at her and stepped towards the dressing table, combing her hair that was still half wet.

Leo shook his head inexhaustibly with the beautiful woman, Luna who had been looking more calm turned out to be original like this, angry and chatty also. Leo grabbed the towel that Luna had originally thrown towards the bed leading her out of the room and dried it. Go back inside the room and still see Luna's sullen face that looks adorable.

Half an hour the woman nagged, angry, floated her disapproval of the marriage that had been planned by her parents, but Leo who is more focused on the look of the woman's face can not listen to what Luna said.

“Ke down yuk, eat.” Leo grabbed Luna's hand, pulled her slowly and led her out of the room down the stairs and walked towards the kitchen.

“Kitchen on the left,” Luna tells when Leo is about to turn to the right aisle. Finally reaching the kitchen, Leo could see Sari was there, arranging the food on the table as if knowing that it was what the child needed as well as his future daughter-in-law.

“Difficult yes persuade, Luna?” ask Leo. Glancing at the woman who was still a few stops behind him, the beautiful face was still pouting and reluctant to look at the mother.

“Mama is calm, Leo already has a way to make Luna look down,” said Leo floated a sweet smile at his future in-laws. Luna flashed a murderous gaze that Leo had no regard for.
