The Love Struggle of Doctor Yudha

CHAPTER 21 - Ideal Son-in-law Candidate

Dion's eyes were fixed on the two drinks in Kak Alya's cake shop.

"Mbak why the drink menu is just hot chocolate with mineral water only?"

"Actually Ms. Alya just wanted to sell some bread, sponge and brownies. But when the weather was hot the visitors who were queuing were thirsty so Bu Alya bought a refrigerator to sell cold mineral water. As for the hot chocolate drink it is suitable for the weather when it rains and all managed to sell well."

"Yes Bu Alya also likes hot chocolate. Because it was his favorite drink and he drank it almost every day. He said he could relax his mind for a moment while drinking hot chocolate. Ms. Alya also sometimes makes it for the buyers if we are overwhelmed when the store starts to get crowded. Our store began to be crowded during the afternoon and evening mas," said the other employee.

"Eh... May I also want hot chocolate. But just wrapped up."

Dion actually wanted to drink it in Alya's shop. But his mother told him to go home quickly because there will be a funeral home.

"Good mas." The store employee immediately made hot chocolate for Dion.

Dion paid for some cookies, a box of brownies, all his mother's orders and one hot chocolate he ordered.

"How much is everything in total?"

"Everything is Rp 247,500 mas."

Dion took out 3 hundred thousand pieces of money from his wallet.

"The return is Rp 52,500 mas."

"No need to go back to make it."

Dion then took the plastic bag given by the store employee.

"Thank you, man. May the mas streamlined his business in search of sustenance and do not forget to come back to our store mas."

"Sama-sama. Thank you for your prayer. My mom has been buying cakes at this store. It's just that this time I bought it because I happened to be from campus and the direction was in line with my house."

"Oh, if you may know the name of your mother who we might already know."

"Maryas."

"Oh Ma'am Marisa we know. It's true Ms. Marisa's our regular customer."

"Yes. If so, excuse me to go home first, yes, the cake has been awaited by my mother for arisan at home. Wassalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikum Salam. Careful, sir."

Dion just nodded his head and left from Alya's cake shop. Dion drove his car out of Alya's cake shop. After Dion left Alya told his employees to have lunch in turn so that there would still be 1 person serving the buyer up front.

"Zahra you eat first. Then change with Tika."

"Okay, Alya" said Zahra as she went to the back and ate in the employee room.

Now in front there is only Tika and Alya.

"Mom just now there was a young mas-mas buying some of our cakes, brownies and hot chocolate. She said her mother had a cedar at home. Ms. Marisa's a regular customer and she's the mama of the mas-mas."

"Hmm just like my Mama today is also being arisan." Alya inner.

"Oh yeah? Well good dong let's close it faster and not overnight."

"Yes Bu Alya. Looks like mas-mas was a good guy, ma'am. The money should have been changed Rp 52,500 but he did not want to accept and he said to me."

"It's okay if it's your sustenance."

...*****...

Dion drove his car at high speed to get to his house. At home there are already 2 cars parked in the yard of his house and Dion sure it must be the car of his friend Arisan mama. Arisan's other mama's friends haven't come yet.

"Assalamualaik."

"Wa'alaikum Salam" they said simultaneously.

"Here dear mama introduce you to mama's friend," he said back.

Dion immediately kissed the back of his mother's hand and then to his two friends.

"Son, this is Miss Sofie and this is Miss Ella" said Mama Marisa, who was referring to her royal friend.

"Good afternoon aunt" he said with a smile.

"The polite child. So this is Marisa's son who is said to be a Hafidz Qur'an and a graduate of the boarding school. Wah did not expect jeng Marisa's son was very young apparently. The ideal son-in-law of his father seems to be a good child." Sofie's mind.

Dion to the back first ma. Dion encoded to his mother that he would tell her to prepare the cookies and brownies she bought and served. A few minutes later Bibi had brought various cookies and brownies on the plate to serve to her guests. Mama Sofie knew that the cake Dion had bought was from her shop.

"Ehm jeng bought the cake where? It was delicious," said Ella.

Sofie is silent and wants to answer the cake from her shop but is not good with Marisa.

"This is what I bought at my grocery store and Ella."

"Oh yes jeng Sofie was my son Dion who I told you about at that time. He failed in his betrothal to his friend's cousin. Jeng Sofie what if we match our children? Said Sofie's son wanted to have a future husband who is a memorizer of the Qur'an. Coincidentally my son graduated from the boarding school."

"I'm confused jeng. Does my child want to be with my child who is 3 years older than him? I'm also not sure my son wants to go in droves."

"We try to bring them closer together. Who knows, age is not a problem. I haven't told you about it yet with my husband and son" Marisa said.

"Alright jeng. Later I try to ask my son he would not have a companion younger than him."

"Sip jeng, will you be preaching to each other?"

"Yes to Marisa."

Some of his friends have arrived. They then shuffle the arisan and it happens that Sofie gets.

"Thank you I can. So the next arisan in my house. I wait for the arrival of all of you yes jeng no one absent does not come loh ya."

"Ready to Sofie. I will come" said Marisa.

"Ok jeng" said Ella.

"Definitely jeng" they said simultaneously.

After that they all say goodbye to their homes.

...*****...

Dion spread his body on the bed. He remembered Alya. Dion reached into his pants pocket to contact Alya via WhatsApp.

📤 Dion: "Assalamualaikum Kak Alya's number is Dion."

📥 Alya : "Wa'alaikum Salam. Ok Brother save ya."

📤 Dion: "Yes Kak 🙂"

Dion was still waiting for a reply from Alya but Alya never visited to reply to his message.

"Sister Alya didn't reply to my WhatsApp messages. Or I just WhatsApp again? I am ashamed to send WhatsApp messages again. Mending tomorrow."

Dion's eyes fell asleep and then a few minutes later fell asleep.

"Son let's eat first. You haven't eaten since, have you?" mama Marisa said outside Dion's room.

Because there was no word from his son Marisa went straight to Dion's room.

"It's just okay not to answer it turns out to be sleep. Let it go first let the aunt wake up. If only you had a wife, son. Must be your wife."

Mama Marisa immediately closed the door of her son's room slowly so that his son did not wake up.
