The Story of Clouds, Rain, and Sun
LV. Welcomed
Varsha was sitting in a luxury sedan. His body looked stiff, while both hands he placed on his lap in an awkward position. His big eyeball seemed to be trembling, confused about where to put his gaze.
Right next to him sat a graceful woman who was busy making phone calls. His voice sounded sharp and firm while talking on his phone. Makes Varsha's heart even worse. He is not someone who easily shakes.
About half an hour ago, Sherry knocked on Varsha's door to pick her up. He reported that Mama Surya had been waiting in the car to take lunch together. Of course, he immediately canceled all his plans today and obeyed his mother's trusted assistant.
“I want to hear the results tonight anyway.”
“If not, our deal is cancelled only.”
However, it seems that Chairman Tara's mother is still busy with her work. Varsha and the graceful lady only had a moment of exchanging smiles as she just got into the car. Furthermore, he only fell silent awkwardly, while the person next to him was discussing on the phone.
“Sorry once, Varsha. There are still some things that Aunty must take care of earlier.”
“Nothing, Aunt,” replied Varsha quickly. “I am precisely the one who is afraid of disturbing Aunt work.”
Tara's mother smiled. “Of course not.”
“Oh, look. It just so happens that we have arrived at the destination.”
Varsha looked towards the window. His eyes were immediately greeted with a very large and magnificent house like a royal palace. Right in front of the sturdy building there is a fountain with beautiful carvings around it. Adding a luxurious and elegant impression to the white mansion.
Soon, Tara and Varsha's mother got out of the car. Sherry followed them behind. A middle-aged man in a neat suit greeted kindly then herded the three inside.
“It is always an honor for us when Ms. Tara came to visit,” said the man while walking beside mama Surya. It seemed that he was the manager in this place when he saw from the name tag attached to his black suit.
“You have everything ready?”
“Sure, Ms. Tara,” replied. “Everything is ready.”
“Good work.”
Actually, Varsha was a very curious person. If not for the graceful lady next to him, his neck would have looked to and fro to enjoy the beauty of the design in the building. But because he was too tense right now, he could only look ahead like he was given a pair of horse glasses.
“Good, we have arrived at the table Mother Tara,” said the manager. “In the meantime, Ibu Tara's order will be soon we inter.”
“Thank you, Aji.”
“By pleasure, Ms. Tara.”
Then the middle-aged man left and left them. Mama Surya then invited Varsha to sit right in front of him. While Sherry eventually follows Aji's footsteps, leaving Tara and Varsha alone.
The young lady involuntarily swallowed her saliva. Both of his hands trembled slightly under the table. He could also feel cold sweat falling down his back.
“What do you think of this place?” ask Tara suddenly.
Varsha was shocked by the question the graceful woman before her asked. To be honest, he was still unable to process all the things that had just happened. Never mind looking around, he was still not even sure there was anything on their table.
The young lady also tried to scan the surroundings quickly. A large and beautiful garden greeted him. The clump is neatly trimmed to the same height. Various ornamental plants arranged neatly to form a variety of charming patterns. Koi ponds with large waterfalls stand beautifully on one side adding to the beauty.
Varsha who initially only wanted to look around for a moment to respond to Mother Tara, now even so gobsmacked herself. He even just realized that now he was sitting in a sturdy white gazebo and beautiful. The ceiling is so high that it does not block the view.
Tara's mother looked at the young lady in front of her and then smiled. He seemed satisfied with the expression Varsha made. It seemed like without needing to be answered, mama Surya had gotten the response he wanted.
“Very beautiful,” said Varsha finally.
Tara's mother nodded in agreement. “Yes, this place is very beautiful. One of Aunt's favorite spots.”
“Thank God you like it.”
Shortly after, the second order arrived. Two white ceramic plates appeared in front of them. Varsha saw the contents. Roasted simple clams that are arranged so neat and elegant along with white puree and greenish sauce. Varsha has never seen or eaten a menu like this before.
“Come, please try,” invite Mother Tara. “This new appetizer only.”
The young lady nodded then smiled. Then he cut off some of the simple shells and put them in his mouth. The cut felt soft and teased his tongue. The texture is so smooth but it stores millions of flavors.
“How? Do you like?”
“Yes, Aunt Tara,” Varsha replied. “Simping war is so good.”
Once they finished with the appetizers, the other menus arrived one by one. Risotto, beef wellington, and ending with vanilla mascarpone cheesecake. Every time, Tara's mother would always ask Varsha's opinion about the dishes she ate.
“Good. Looks like for the problem of the menu and place is perfect,” mama muttered Surya while typing something on his phone.
“What's your favorite color, Varsha?”
The young lady was silent for a moment before finally answering, “Purple.”
“Okay,” mumbling Mother Tara again. “Means using shades of purple.”
“Perfect.”
“Sorry, Aunt Tara,” said Varsha finally ventured. “Actually what purpose did Aunt Tara invite me to lunch?”
“Sorry once again, if I have offended the kindness of Aunt Tara,” said the young woman again.
“Only it feels a bit... Oddly people as busy as Aunt took the time to have lunch with someone like me.”
Mama Surya laughed a little. “Tante likes how you don't mince words and instantly asks what Auntie.” means
“You're right. Of course Auntie has a special agenda,” replied Ibu Tara. “And Aunty's goal has been reached.”
Varsha scrunched her forehead slightly. He still does not understand where his lover's mother talks. Now he is even more confused.
“To be honest Aunt has been finding out about you since our meeting in the hospital,” explained mama Surya. “Backgrounds, education, work, and everything else you need to know.”
“Sorry, before that it sounded too late. However, Aunty is very protective of Aunt's son. Surely you understand as a mother.”
Varsha. I don't know why he felt as if he was standing naked in front of the woman. Now Mama Surya has known everything about her life for the past 23 years.
“You are a tough and unyielding woman. Aunt highly appreciates it.”
Then Mother Tara put her hand on Varsha's hand and squeezed it slowly. Then he smiled. “Thank you for giving me a grandson.”
“Tales can grow handsomely and intelligently because you have taken very good care of them.”
Suddenly, Varsha was riveted. Surya's mother's expression was so gentle and soothing. It is far different from what is usually attached to the face of the graceful woman. Instantly a glimmer of warmth flowed within his chest. As if he could feel the shadow of his late mother on Mama Surya. A tear fell on Varsha's cheek.
“Why are you crying, Varsha? Forgive Aunt, if it has made you sad.”
The young woman nodded and smiled. “No Aunt. Auntie did nothing wrong.”
“It is precisely I who want to thank you because Aunt can accept Teja as Aunt's grandson. He must be very happy to have a grandmother like Aunt Tara.”
Mama Surya then stood up and walked towards Varsha. He hugged the young woman. Gently rubbing her hair like a mother's attitude towards her child.
“Not just Teja,” he said. “You too.”
Varsha's cry became even more intense. He did not expect that Surya's mother would give his blessing so easily. In fact, all this time he always thought that he and Teja had no place in the Abhiyoga Family.
“Already, already. Don't cry anymore, darling,” entertain Mother Tara. “Everything is wrong Aunt's son who let you continue to carry this burden alone.”
“Padahan Surya just introduced you and Teja to Aunt from the beginning. What a hard thing, anyway,” grumbled Ibu Tara.
“Let's know the taste of him now.”
Varsha didn't quite understand what Mama Surya was talking about but she just kept quiet. The embrace of Mother Tara greatly reconciled her heart and calmed her mind. He closed his eyes and smiled. Feeling grateful to have blessed one other person so good.
“Tante listen, Surya has proposed to you at Akasa Tower during the 'Light Show'?” event
“And again Aunt heard this from others, instead of Aunt's own son,” murmured mama Surya with a long sigh.
“Anyway, that's why Auntie also took the initiative herself.”
“Tante wants you and Surya to host your wedding at this place. Of course with purple shades like your favorite color. The food menu is as you tried it," explained Aunt Tara at length.
"Tante has even spoken to Vera from Kemal Co. to become your wedding planner this morning.”
Varsha immediately coughed at the exposure from her lover's mother. Mama Surya then took a glass of water and immediately gave it to his future daughter-in-law. While occasionally patting the young lady's back gently. However, suddenly there was one question that came to mind Mother Tara.
“Oh, you received a Solar application, ‘kan?”
