Traveling to the Unseen Realm

148. Pesen Mama's...

Ranvier came out of the room because he heard a noise on the ground floor. From the stairs Ranvier could see Nada who was having a warm conversation with Grandpa. Somehow seeing the presence of the girl made Ranvier's feelings that had worsened because Erwin's actions now gradually improved.

With a definite step Ranvier down the stairs. The sound of his footsteps made everyone in the middle room turn towards him.

Ranvier's appearance in casual clothes did look different. But it makes Riska more fascinated. His face also seemed sparkling when he saw Ranvier approaching them.

" At last you came down, son. We're done with dinner, so you're left alone who hasn't eaten." Grandpa Randu said.

" Yes, cake, gapapa. I'll eat soon. What's Nada..," said Ranvier as he extended his hand and smiled at Nada.

" Thank God, sir..," said Nada with reverence while welcoming Ranvier's handshake.

" Why is the new night until, can't it be more afternoon. Danger you know for a girl like you on the streets at this hour..," said Ranvier while landing his bok*ng next to Grandpa Randu.

" I just got home from work part time sir. Since I miss Grandpa, that's why I came here." Nada said with a smile.

" Oh that. Working part time where...?" ranvier asked while hiding his admiration.

" So waitress at XX cafe sir. If you stop by ya..," Pinta Nada while cupping her palms.

Nada's request made the four people who were with him stare at each other then smile.

" God willing, we will stop by later. Aren't they kids...?" asked Grandpa Randu while glancing at Ranvier and Erwin alternately.

" God willing Siaappp Kek...!" sahut Ranvier and Erwin together to make everyone laugh.

" But a minute. Why did you tell us to stop by, what the hell is Nad...?" ask Erwin.

" Gapapa Bang, I'd like to. All my friends fellow cafe waiters have been visited with family or relatives fit again work at the cafe. I am alone who has never been visited. I worked there long enough. Tonight went to the fifth month of work and only my friend came, it was just a coincidence to stop by..," said Nada with a bitter smile.

For a moment the atmosphere became quiet. Grandpa Randu and Ranvier who knew very well what happened to Nada were just staring at each other in silence. They knew that Nada's relationship with her father had not completely recovered. They also know that currently Nada still insists on staying at the boarding house rather than returning to Wijaya's house.

Riska and Erwin who did not understand anything just fell silent because they did not know what to comment.

To break the silence, Ranvier cleared his throat and got up from his seat. Then he turned to Nada and invited her to dinner.

" Have not eaten yet?, if not yet, we eat now yuk....," asked Ranvier.

" Yes, I happen to be hungry too." said Nada shyly but made Ranvier and Grandpa Randu laugh.

" Yes, eat there. Do not get sick because you are late to eat..," Grandpa Randu said in between his laughter.

" Yes Kek..," said Nada as he got up and then stepped following Ranvier who walked first to the dining room.

Seeing the closeness of Ranvier and Nada makes Riska jealous. He stared resentfully at Nada while clenching his hands silently.

Erwin who accidentally saw Riska's attitude just smiled wryly.

" Out again Ranvier. All the girls I like are always looking at Ranvier. What a charisma like Ranvier until they do not see Gue at all.," grumbled Erwin in heart.

" Ehm, it's not Ranvier's fault. They are too glared at what accompanies Ranvier. Someone who does not appreciate you with what you have, is not worthy for you to pursue Win.", Grandpa Randu reminded as he leaned his body against the back of the sofa.

Grandpa Randu's words made Erwin gasp in shock. His face was shaken for a moment in embarrassment. He did not expect if Grandpa Randu knew his heart that had blamed Ranvier earlier.

" I. Yes Cake. Richly I'll follow Ranvier's advice to rethink about him.", said Erwin nervously.

" Good..," Grandpa Randu said with a smile.

Erwin also glanced at Riska who did not seem to know if she was the talk of the two men before her.

After a long sigh Erwin also ventured to invite Riska home.

" It's Ris' night, we'd better go home" Erwin said.

" Home home...?" ask Riska with a dazed face.

" yes. Do you want to stay here...?" ask Erwin not to like it.

" It's not that. But...," Riska's speech is interrupted because Erwin cuts fast.

Riska also glanced at Grandpa Randu. She hoped Grandpa Randu would offer her for the night. But after a while waiting for Grandpa Randu did not speak, Riska finally relented. He also got up from his seat.

" I'm sorry, Sir, I have to go home. It's too late and it doesn't feel right for a woman to visit at this hour" Riska said slightly raising her voice with the intention of insinuating Nada.

But unfortunately Nada pretended not to hear Riska's words even though she secretly clenched her hands because she felt offended by Riska's words.

Grandpa Randu smiled meaningfully looking at Riska's attitude that was trying to 'drop' Tone. He got up from his seat and drove Erwin and Riska to the terrace of the house.

" Pake the car only Win, do not use the motor. Kasian Riska, later she can get sick with the night breeze,." Grandpa Randu said as he patted Erwin's back gently.

" Yes the Cake. We went home first, Kek, Assalamualaikum.., " said Erwin after kissing the back of Grandpa Randu's hand.

" Alaikumsalam.., "said Grandpa Randu with a smile.

Riska nodded her head unhurriedly towards Grandpa Randu before entering the car. And a moment later the car drove away from Grandpa Randu's house.

In the car Riska sat down restlessly. Sometimes he glanced at Erwin who seemed to be driving seriously.

" Mmm.., I'm sorry Mr. Erwin. That girl, Nada. He was ready Mr. Ranvier...?" ask Riska.

" He's the future wife Ranvier..," said Erwin origin but able to make Riska surprised.

" Wife Candidate...?!" ask Riska not to believe it.

" yes. No wonder how the attitude of Grandpa Randu and Ranvier the same Nada earlier...?" ask Erwin.

" yes. But I squirm precisely their attitude like family, let alone the attitude of Mr. Ranvier the same Tone and vice versa. Mmm.., their relationship was similar to sister brother more precisely.., "said Riska hesitated to make Erwin smile.

" You are right. Brother Sister who met big must have many possibilities waiting in front of them later.", said Erwin with a meaningful smile.

I don't know why Erwin's words upset Riska. He turned his gaze out the window and did not speak again until they arrived in front of Riska's parents' house.

After Riska went down and thanked him, Erwin returned to the car quickly.

Meanwhile in the dining room Ranvier and Nada were still enjoying dinner while chatting casually. The two sat side by side like a romantic couple.

" Who is your partner now...?" ask Ranvier.

" Pair...?" tanya Nada did not understand.

" Boyfriend or fiancee maybe..," said Ranvier rectify his speech.

" Oh that. I don't have..," said Nada quickly.

" The time. You're pretty, nobody wants to be your girlfriend...?" ranvier asked in disbelief.

" The ones who want a lot, but I don't want to be with them..," said Nada proudly to make Ranvier smile.

" Why...?" ranvier asked as he stared at the sticky tone.

" Gapapa, still want to be alone..," said Nada reluctantly.

" Don't tell me you're traumatized by what happened to your mother." Ranvier guessed.

Nada let out a long sigh and stopped her mouthful.

" I'm sad but I'm not traumatized. Right now I don't want to be in a relationship with a man who just wants to be a joke. It's just a waste of time. I'm looking for a guy who fits Mama's criteria. I want to be in a relationship with a man who is mentally and spiritually established, who is seriously committed and has a future. So pesen my Mama used to be before falling ill and dying..," said Nada with teary eyes.

Ranvier smiled as well. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Nada's fingers and held them tightly to the point of making the girl surprised.

" When I say I'm a man who fits the criteria that your mother calls Nada...?" ranvier asked solemnly to make both of Nada's eyes wide.

For a moment Ranvier and Nada's gaze met. At the same time Grandpa Randu was standing with a smile watching the two looking at him.
