The Mate of Teenagers

Part 27 Phone Number

Grasshopper

"Hi Raya, yesterday I was busy because there was work to be done. Today's off, where are you going?"

Raya's smile expanded, finally the Grasshopper greeted her via email.

Raya

"I thought you were going to disappear because you didn't tell me all day! today I'm at home spending time reading novels while keeping mom's cake shop"

Grasshopper

"Ahhhaa are you starting to miss me? I had a long meeting and a family event so I didn't have time to tell me, sorry Raya"

Raya

"family ceremony? what was the meeting with your future wife's woman?"

Raya remembered yesterday afternoon Lisa Aska said there was also a family event. Lisa says Aska will be paired with a woman who is equal to her.

Grasshopper

"No, just having lunch with my parents and friends who just arrived from afar. Why would I have a thought if I was going to get married?" (laughing emoticons).

Raya

"Because you're like the young master"

Grasshopper

"Master Aska you mean? what's wrong with her? are you sad about it again?"

Raya

"He's the same as you, said my office mate Aska to come home early because of a family meeting. Gossip circulating in the office he will be betrothed to women who are equal to him"

Grasshopper

"Oh so, you're sad because he's getting married?"

Raya

"No..!"

Grasshopper

"Is this an honest answer? "

Raya

".......not really"

Grasshopper

Raya was silent for a moment, she digested the email from the Grasshopper. True also if Raya gives her mobile number to the Grasshopper they can call each other and freely tell stories at any time.

But why Raya pounded imagining she would listen to the voice of the Grasshopper on the phone.

Grasshopper

"If you mind no problem, no need to think about it. We can keep communication by email only as we are now"

Raya

"This is my mobile number ***********"

Grasshopper

"Well I'll call you later, now I have to go first there's a little business"

Aska closed her laptop and walked out of the room. Mr. Bram Admaja was waiting for Aska in his study on the second floor of his house.

"Papa called?"

"Sit down, papa wants to talk to you Aska"

Aska sat in the front seat of her papa's desk. He seems less free when talking to his father. Many differences in attitude between them become a barrier between father and son.

"You're an adult Aska, you're also good at leading the company. Papa admits that this son of papa is smart at work"

Aska was silent, definitely not a matter of work that will be discussed his papa. Aska waited for the core of her conversation with her papa.

"You remember Sara?"

"Here's Mr Lucas' son?"

"True Aska, you still remember it. Sara's coming back from America the day after tomorrow, can you meet her?"

"What's pa for?"

"You can be friends like you used to be when you were little"

"Pa...my friends are many for what am I friends with him?"

"Aska, papa wants to hear when Sara gets home you take her to lunch together. The plane will land before lunch"

Aska stood up from her seat and walked away from Mr. Bram's study.

It's not this kind of communication that Aska wants. He wants to discuss hobbies or other fun things with the papa. It doesn't always end in coercion.

Aska walked down the stairs to the dining table. There is his favorite menu. My mother was enjoying tea in the yard. Aska looked at her mother from a distance. He did not know why his mother could be so strong as a woman.
