Dinner has begun, because it feels too long to wait for the son of Haris to come.
...On the outside of Hara's house...
'Really, kok. Here the address of the house shown mama' muttered Mario who was only heard by himself. Confused, Mario steps his foot into a house that is no longer unfamiliar to him.
While everyone was busy talking, a young man, tall and burly, entered the Hara family's dining room.
Seeing the figure, Hara was very surprised, because there was no notification from the lover that he would come to his house. Especially when the house has guests.
His eyes did not stop giving a question mark signal from the lover who is now standing in the middle of 2 families who are releasing longs between old friends.
"Good night, om, aunt, everyone" said Mario politely to a family who was no longer unfamiliar to him.
"Well, Mario? How come?" not only Hara, papa, mama, and Virginia were also confused to see him. Their eyes paraded towards Hara with a 'anything' signal from papa, her mother and sister. However, it is useless they ask, because Hara herself does not know.
"Well, you guys know Mario?" ask papa Mario, and Mario is welcome to sit by his own papa.
"Already, dong. Mario comes here often" Papa Hara explained to his best friend.
"He's Rio, my only son" explained Mr. Haris proud of the child.
Everyone in the room was shocked to see that.
"Oh, so he. Good dong then. Didn't Virginia and Mario always go to the same school?" ask papa Hara reassuringly.
"Really, om. We have known him for a long time."
"Gee. Even if you know you, but this is our first conversation." replied papa Hara.
"So what, Her, about our plan?" ask papa Mario to continue their conversation on the phone some time ago.
"If so, there's no problem dong, it should." The laughter of the 2 middle-aged men filled the contents of the dining room this evening.
Feeling that something was wrong, Hara chose to remain silent. Yep. Not like his usual self. Given the character of Hara, usually when he sees things that are not right, he will immediately say it blatantly. However, for some reason, tonight it was as if there was a whisper telling him to remain silent until the end of this meeting.
"If so, mending you just explain" said Papa Hara to Pak Haris.
"It's okay, is it?" the question is reassuring.
"Yes. It should be so"
"alright. Because it has received approval from the owner of the house, so om will announce the intention of our family's arrival tonight" explained om Haris, and Hara is still busy spending her dinner and gulp water to quench her thirst.
"So we have a happy announcement for all of us. Actually, especially me and Herdian have long had plans to match Rio with Nia."
...Prraang!!!...
The glass Hara was holding fell out of her hand. His eyes began to glaze over as he stared blankly at everyone in the room.
"What do you mean, om?" asked Hara who had chosen to be quiet, reassuring her of what she had heard. Apparently, not only Hara who was surprised to hear the statement from Haris, but Rosita (mama Hara), Virginia, until Mario was surprised.
"So, Ra...."
"So actually since Mario and Nia are 5th, om Haris and papa you have made the decision to match Nia and Mario when they grow up" explained om Haris, who is not a child, this time it was clearer than before.
The words he initially hoped only because of mishearing, but in fact that speech was the reality.
"Not making sense" spontaneously the sentence came out of Hara's tiny lips. His teary eyes held back sobs from hearing the news. The limit is getting longer.
Not many noticed Hara's attitude, she tried to keep her tears that would soon flow into her smooth cheeks.
Mario's eyes did not stop staring at his lover who looked very destroyed, as well as Virginia and Mama Hara.
"Well! It doesn't make sense! So this is called happy news, om? Matchmaking news that would not want to be done among 2 people who do not have feelings?" Hara who had been trying to hold back, finally her emotions were unbearable. He also revealed a sentence that can be considered as a disrespectful sentence to parents.
Hearing that statement, his mother who was stabbed beside Hara clasped tightly here her youngest daughter, hoping that her daughter's emotions could subside.
"Hara! Watch your words!" snapped the papa. For the first time Hara was yelled at by her father, who had been warm and kind to her. Yep. Kicked in front of Haris' family.
Hearing that, his cries split. Hara was no longer able to hold back her tears that had wanted to come out.
"Hara thought, today Hara will be happy. But in fact, the birthday gift that should have been Hara's parents love turned out this way" Hara continued to sob. "Even for the sake of preparing for this senseless event, mom, papa, and brother forgot my birthday? Thanks everyone for the surprise tonight. Hara excuse me." he said he slogan leaving a perverted euangan with a sense of tightness in his chest.
Seeing Hara's behavior, Mario's parents were confused, and eventually Mario followed Hara.
"Mario! Where you going? We are not finished talking" his father said.
"Sorry, pa. Now Mario has to put Hara first. Mario excuse me" he said as he left the room and followed his distraught lover.
Not knowing the relationship that Hara and Mario have, but his father still wants to continue this.
Hara stopped right in front of the gate of her house. Feeling that she did not know which way she was going, Hara could only drown herself in the conversation she had just heard.
His cries became increasingly hardened, which made it easier for Mario to find the whereabouts of his lover.
Instantly, the rain fell heavily, making Hara's tears no longer visible on her cheeks because it mixed with rainwater that continued to flow soaking her body.
Seeing Hara sitting limp in the rain, Mario approached Hara, hugging her with a broken feeling, with one hope, namely that he could return to provide warmth for Hara's body that was doused in the rain that night.
"I'm sorry, honey. I didn't know it would end up like this. Now, let's find the right solution to this problem, okay?" he said he was trying to win his girlfriend over.
"How is it? What's the right way? Is there still a way to cancel your match?"
"There was. There's gonna be a way, Ra. But I beg you, now we go in first. It's raining here, and I don't want you to get sick because of this problem."
"You just said, Mar? Justjust?! What is this whole problem for you, until you say so easily?"
"No, Ra. You wrong. I'm just as devastated about this, too. But please, this once you have beaten me. We go in the house first, let you get sick" explained Mario. After the debate, Hara finally followed the words of her lover and returned to the house in a wet shirt, which apparently caught the attention of people who had been born with Hara's last words.
...---...
...Tonight, for the first time, her parents did not remember her birthday. Tonight, for the first time Hara was loudly yelled at in front of the person she met the first time, especially it was Mario's parents. Even by accident, this is his 21st birthday....
