Karin and Yudha had already arrived at the restaurant. As usual Yudha always booked a VIP room so as not to be able to inhale cigarette smoke. Yudha and Karin sat side by side. While Karin and Yudha were eating and drinking, Mama Chintya made a video call.
"Hah Mama's phone? Use video calls again. How does this lift, huh? Same with Yudha again. Hmm just lift it from the suspicious Mama." Inner Karin.
Karin then held up a video call with her mother.
📹 Carin: "Hallo, Assalamualaikum Ma."
📹 Chintya : "Wa'alaikum Greetings dear. You haven't been home from school?"
Mama Chintya sees her son still in school uniform and in a restaurant.
📹 Carin : "Yes Ma. Karin stopped by the restaurant because of Laper Ma hehehe."
📹 Chintya: "Oh you are the same who love you?"
📹 Months: "Sama Kak Yudha Ma."
📹 Chintya: "Mommy can talk to Yudha?"
📹 Carin : "Yes Ma."
Karin then gave her phone to Yudha. Doctor Yudha received Karin's hands trembling as she was about to talk to her future father-in-law.
📹 Yudha: "Hallo, Assalamualaikum Aunt."
📹 Chintya : "Wa'alaikum Greetings. Call him Mama just to be more familiar, will you be a daughter-in-law of Aunt later."
📹 Yudha : "Eh... Yes Ma."
Keynan immediately took his wife's phone.
📹 Keynan: "Son, are you serious with my son Karin?"
📹 Yudha: "Yes I seriously want to make Karin my life companion."
📹 Keynan: "If you are serious with my son. Later on the semester break you can come here with your parents. Papa wants to test you and Papa will see how serious you are with my son."
"It looks like Karin's father is a bit fierce. I should be able to convince him that I am really serious about his son." - Yudha.
📹 Yudha : "Yes Pa. I'll talk to both of my parents."
"This child seems serious with my daughter." Inner Keynan.
📹 Yudha: "Pa, can Yudha introduce Karin to my parents? I was urged constantly by my Mama Papa to introduce the girl of my choice."
📹 Keynan: "All right, let Karin be more familiar with both of your parents."
📹 Yudha : "Good Pa. This week Yudha will introduce Karin to my parents."
📹 Keynan: "You take good care of my son huh? Don't mess with my son."
📹 Yudha : "Yes Pa. I dare to do anything. As long as I am close to Karin I only dare to hold her hand. I have never dated Pa. My heart was racing when I first saw Karin at Rey and Risa's engagement. I have never been close to any woman. Papa can ask both my parents later if you meet or with Doctor Rio my best friend from childhood. They know all about me."
"Passed the first test as a future son-in-law." Inner Keynan.
📹 Keynan: "I don't believe in you. I want to ask my own son. Because he was always honest with his father. Please give her hp to Karin."
"Deg......" Yudha's heart was pounding violently as her future in-laws spoke in disbelief with her.
It is true that Yudha never messed with Karin.
📹 Keynan: "What is the truth that Yudha never messed with you?"
📹 Karin : "Yes right Pa. During this time Kak Yudha only dared to hold Karin's hand no more."
📹 Keynan: "You're not lying to Papa, are you son? Because there's Doctor Yudha beside you."
📹 Keynan : "Yaudah. If that's how you eat, son, that was Papa see his servant has brought his food to your table."
📹 Carin : "Yes Pa. Karin wants to eat first, right? Papa and Mama have eaten yet?"
📹 Keynan : "Yes, already son. Take good care of yourself in Indonesia. Then it's the old time, Wassalamu'alaikum."
📹 Carin : "Yes Pa. Wa'alaikum Salam."
The video call is over.
"Darling tomorrow is Saturday night on Sunday you introduced me to my parents?"
"Isn't it too bad, sister? Uh, that means baby. I'm sorry Karin's not used to calling her dear."
"Yes later you will get used to calling Brother affectionately." with a smile.
"Sir Yudha, is his smile so sweet? Uh... Am I really in love with her now?" inner Karin.
"Would you love me introducing you to my parents?" ask Yudha back.
"Yes, baby" he said stammeringly.
Yudha smiled and grew increasingly anxious with Karin.
"Thank you dear." then grasped Karin's left hand with her right.
Karin just smiled with Yudha's behavior to him.
"Eh sorry darling reflex. Let's eat the food to get cold." then let go of his grip.
"Sir Yudha is indeed different from Dion, Brother Yudha is more polite. Just holding my hand apologizing, but it is normal that the road always holds my hand." inward Karin.
Karin was grateful to know Yudha. In addition to his mature thinking, Yudha was also polite. The ideal husband.
...*****...
AT KEYNAN'S HOUSE IN KOREA
"Ma, Yudha has passed the first test as our daughter-in-law's candidate. He's polite and has never been close to a woman."
"Yes Pa. Looks like Doctor Yudha's a good guy, huh Pa? and Mama thinks the guy's patient."
"Yes Ma. Papa feels so too. Karin looks happy with the young doctor. Yes even though they are quite far adrift 7 years."
"Isn't age not a Pa problem for running a relationship?"
"Yes Ma. It is important to be comfortable with each other. That's all that matters, Ma."
"Mama is grateful Pa. Although Karin did not come to be with Dion the Hafidz Qur'an, it was rigid and cold. But Karin got a successor like Yudha whose man was kind and understanding."
Mama Chintya recalled the time Karin told the story that she first met Dion. Later that night Dion tells Rey to reject her betrothal to Karin.
"Hopefully our son will always be happy with the young doctor."
"Aami... Hopefully Pa."
"Ma don't we just move to Indonesia later if Karin is married? Papa doesn't want to be away from Karin. Moreover, Karin is our only child," said Keynan who actually misses the city of birth in Jakarta and met with his brother Kevin.
"Pa, Mama agrees with Papa's proposal. Mama also doesn't want to go far with Karin. Especially if Karin is married and has children. She also wants to be close to her children and grandchildren. But on the other hand Korea is my hometown and your mother's. We should talk to your mother first if we want to move to Indonesia."
"Yes, Dad will talk to my mom. Hopefully my mother agrees with my proposal and I will ask my father for help if for example my mother does not agree. I can't go against my father's orders."
Mama Chintya nodded in understanding. Mama Chintya does not want to go far with her son. After all, a mother's heart is not calm if it must be far from her only child. Especially if Karin later if married and pregnant. Mama Chintya would love to accompany her pregnant child if she wants to eat this. Because he had once felt what it felt like to have someone cravings. Mama Chintya did not want the opportunity to be missed. Especially for his first grandchild.
