What are we gonna eat?" aina asked after they finished praying at Aina's kosan.
Riyan invites Aina to dinner, and she will take her to her house, meeting her parents. Because that time when invited to dinner was canceled because Riyan suddenly canceled it himself on his mother, and so it was just a walk.
"Let's see what's going on there" replied Riyan who was getting confused Aina.
"Where are you eating?" ask Aina again.
"There is" replied Riyan which made Aina curious.
Aina was just silent, she noticed that the road still seemed crowded with vehicles of people who came home from her activities.
"Mas Riyan is playing with the secrets of everything, just eating only in secret" said Aina increasingly curious.
"The dinner was special, so it's a secret." still riddled with Riyan with a fluffy smile.
"OK." Briefly replied Aina, she lazily asked again.
"Neither again?" asked Riyan who was still a smile on her lips, she knew Aina was a little upset.
"The answer will be secret again, so why ask again." regardless of Riyan, Aina said.
Riyan let out a small laugh, involuntarily shuffling Aina's hair in the ponytail. Aina was shocked by Riyan's treatment, Aina's thin smile expanded. It felt like the rubbing of her hands in her hair made her feel at home, but that was just her feeling.
Riyan's car arrives at a mansion, Riyan's car stops at the gate and honks. A security guard approached and opened the gate, then the car entered and stopped in front of the terrace. Aina who had been curious since then finally asked as well.
"Mas Riyan, who are we going to go to?", asked Aina with eyes still looking at the mansion.
"Let's get out, it's been waiting inside" Riyan asked without answering Aina's question. Aina was still silent without moving.
"Mas, whose house is this?" again Aina asked.
"Get out first, I'll answer your question." Riyan won't lose. I don't want Aina to get out of the car.
Then Riyan invited Aina in, hesitatingly Aina followed in Riyan's footsteps. Arriving at the living room, Riyan told Aina to sit down and she went inside to look for the figure of her mother who called this afternoon not knowing the time.
"Where's Bi Sumi?" riyan asked the maid at her mother's house who was preparing dinner.
"Eh, den Riyan has arrived. The madam was in her room, den.", Bi Sumi said.
Then Riyan headed to her mother's room, he stepped in haste and then knocked on the door after arriving in front of her mother's room.
Whafs-tok...
"Mama I'm in?" said Riyan.
"Like it baby, not in the key."
Then Riyan pushed the door and walked over to his mother who was tidying up the clothes that had just been ironed.
"What's wrong, how does it look so happy again." asked his mother strangely.
"What is the look?" riyan's cheerful face was still clearly visible.
"Well, if you'd like to know. Oya, you brought your girl friend, right?" ask her mother to wonder.
"Yes ma, at the same time want to introduce him to mama and papa." replied Riyan briefly.
"Hmm, looks like she's pretty. Until you're so happy?" ask her mother to tease her son.
"Who, ma. She was beautiful and smart too" said Riyan
"Where the guy is, mom wants to see, wants acquaintances too. You rarely bring a girl friend to the house." Without waiting for her son's answer, Sarah immediately went and headed to the living room.
"Ma, wait a minute. Don't talk macem yes., just a natural introduction, he's quiet." Ryan said before his mother met Aina. She did not want Aina to be embarrassed by her mother's behavior.
"Yes baffles!" then Sarah met Aina in the living room who was sitting in the guest chair.
For a moment Sarah looked at Aina, observing before Aina realized there was someone there. It was indeed beautiful, and somewhat similar to his nephew's wife. Then Sarah's mother stepped closer to Aina who was sitting.
"Ehm, there's a guest apparently" mama Riyan said ripping Aina out of her sight on her phone.
Aina looked up, then got up from her seat. For a moment he felt awkward, confused as to who the middle-aged woman before him was. Aina stepped up and greeted Sarah.
"I'm Aina Aunty, her friend.."
""Riyan?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Please sit down again." then Aina sat back down.
Now Aina and Sarah are boiling next to each other. Aina's awkward feeling. He actually did not know who the woman next to him was. Is it possible that her mother is Riyan? ask in the heart.
"I'm Riyan's mom, you're a friend of Riyan's or.." Sarah's mom hasn't had a chance to say, Aina's cut her off, afraid of misunderstanding, she thought.
Not long ago the second chat, Ms. Sumi had already called that dinner was ready.
"Come, Aina. We go to the dinner table, dinner's ready." take Sarah's mom.
Aina's hesitation rose. She was still standing on the spot, while Sarah's mother had already gone inside. He looked at Riyan, asking for approval from the person who invited him to dinner which he said was special.
"Aina, let's go to the back" said Riyan who had met Aina in the living room. But Aina was still doubtful, in the face of her sweet smiling Riyan. Long Aina was still silent, impatiently Riyan pulled Aina's hand and whispered softly near Aina's ear.
"It's a special dinner, I told you that earlier." smiling and looking at Aina softly.
Inevitably Aina smiled, her face flushed red from embarrassment and nervousness. Then Aina and Riyan walked into the dining room, which was waiting for Sarah's mother, her husband and Ryan's sister Juli they were all waiting.
The happy face of Sarah's mother emanated as they sat next to her who was confused by the presence of people other than her family was Mr. Johan, papa Riyan. He looked at Riyan with a gesture asking, Riyan just smiled then nodded slowly.
"Hmm, someone else is happy. Know dong kak, who's the girl" Juli said to her brother.
Aina just smiled stiffly, she felt awkward with everything being questionable. All looked at him confused and at once happy.
"Yes Yan, who is this woman that you brought." asked Mr. Johan finally could not bear to not ask.
The reason, just this time his son brought a woman to his house, what else is dinner together.
"He's Aina pa, one office with Riyan in Vishnu's office. And also the future wife of Riyan." said Riyan introduced Aina in front of all her family.
Aina's face instantly turned tense, her throat choking. Aina turned her head towards the man beside her. Is this true? or just an excuse for no further questions, Aina thought.
But actually deep down, Aina was pleased with Riyan's reply. But she hasn't told him love, Aina thought again. Aina's stiff smile showed to cover her awkwardness.
"Yes, let's eat first. We will have another conversation." said Mr. Johan.
****
Inside her papa's office, Ryan was invited to speak with her father after dinner. While Aina was still chatting with Sarah's mother and sister. Riyan was sitting on the sofa while her papa was sitting in her work chair.
Long they are still quiet with each other, Riyan is busy with the reports of his restaurant employees on mobile while his papa is busy fiddling with the laptop in front of him. A few minutes later, after Riyan had finished, he saw his busy father.
"What do you want to say?" riyan asked in the end. His father paused for a moment and looked at his son, long ago, and then took a deep breath.
"Papa thought you didn't have a boyfriend." pause for a moment to notice his son's reaction. Ryan was still silent, waiting for the next sentence.
"Why?" asked Riyan astonished.
"Papa intends to match you with his friend's son papa." sigh again.
"When did you know that girl?" ask papa.
"Since three months ago pa. Why pa?" riyan asked curiously.
"Was that fast you wanted to marry her? You just met." asked the papa again.
"Riyan believes she's best for Riyan, pa. Riyan was determined to marry Aina." Riyan replied steadily with confidence.
"Did that girl like you too, papa see she's her guy covered. Indeed, he looks sweet, polite and good at carrying himself." said Mr. Johan seemed to think.
"Well, you like Aina too" said Riyan.
"Yes, but you just know him. Not yet familiar with the other side of his nature." his father said.
"Riyan is sure pa, papa himself knows Riyan is very difficult to fall in love with women. Well, that's why Riyan brought it home to meet with papa and mama. Besides papa wants to introduce his friend's daughter papa also just introduced." said Riyan reassured his father.
"Yes. But you know what his papa is like. So, papa also knows what kind of son dong" said Mr. Johan again.
"His father is good, not necessarily his son is also so good. A lot of it happened, his father was very good but his son actually likes pompous and pompous" said Riyan gave an excuse.
Mr. Johan thought, it is true what his son said. After all, Riyan was an adult. Can determine his own soul mate.
"Yes, if you are sure to continue. Papa really does not want you to choose the wrong soul mate." said Mr. Johan finally.
"I'm sure Aina is my real soul mate" said Riyan again.
"Papa is up to you. It's your life, so you decide who your life partner will be."
"Okay sip, pa. Sunday, Riyan wants to see him in his village. Pray for me" said Riyan.
"Surely."
And then the conversation ended. There are no significant obstacles in the Riyan family, because basically both parents are not too imposing about the soul mate of their children.
