Caption Orchid tonight with a hand photograph of him and Bian with the same watch side by side on the dashboard of Bian's antique car.
***********
Bian's car entered the yard when going to say goodbye to papa and mama, Both my parents were asleep apparently.
"Grand said my regards to papa and your mama yes, dear
"Well, Brother Bian, I'll tell you later"
"Till tomorrow again Orchid. I'll pick you up"
"Yes, I'm sorry to pick you up in Miepa, yeah. I have to check Rika's preparations and the rest of Miepa's team"
"I'll drive you"
"All right, Brother Bian"
Bian stroked my head but soon he pulled out his hand as the roar of the Dewo motor entered the courtyard.
I entered the room smiling to myself. The word love, love and a bouquet of orchids from you makes me crazy in happiness.
My fingers are holding watches and bracelets from my son and mother that are coiled around my wrists.
I grabbed a banana doll in bed, holding it tightly to accompany me to sleep. The banana doll that became a silent witness to my love journey. Witness when tears are shed for the betrayal of adi and cahya love. Now be a witness to the happiness of my heart.
I know Mama Bian is in a dilemma. The other side wants to obey her husband. On the other hand he wanted the happiness of his son.
It was his love for the son who chose him to support Bian. Having previously tried to follow her husband and it turns out she lost on the firm stand of Bian.
Even though I know, Aunt Lusi still chose to be safe because saying "Tante supports you is all that aunty can give". In other words he gave support but not to fight to his family.
At least I'm still thankful for Danar. Supporting Bian but keeping a distance from me so that there is no conflict in his family.
"Really so now you're going to be my woman. Mine I'm gonna fight for?"
Bian's words on the day when our hearts were linked turned out to be proven by him. He fought for me to enter his family.
If Mama Bian asked what kind of an orchid. I should have said his son made me special.
A happy night put me into a deep sleep with a beautiful dream.
*******
In the morning I was bathing and tidy, with my mom seeing Miepa workers in the kitchen. After that we joined papa and Dewo at the dinner table.
"Ma, the day after tomorrow I'll move everything in Miepa's kitchen?"
"Yes later mama helped arrange transportation services and told the officers about their work that was transferred to a new place"
"Anggrek has also been conveyed to the Ipul and Agus bang. They are the ones who will occupy the house. They've been boarding all this time"
"So you're off occupying your new home? Now for the employees?"
"Yes, ma. Orchids still want to live with mama, papa and Dewo"
"Where's the real thing, orchid?" Papa who had met Bian finally asked my lover.
"The original name is here but the papa is Jakarta. Their families live in Jakarta. Except first brother and Bian are here"
I replied while noticing the change in papa.
"Pa, his skin looks more black and charred"
"Yes, your papa is fitting weekend fishing into the sea with Doni"
"Hah" A moment later Bian's sentence flashed in memory.
You know sometimes everyone approaches a potential partner in various ways. One of them by approaching the family of his future partner.
"Ma, Orchids can invite Bian to eat together at home?"
"For what?" Papa asked in wonder. I answered in my heart. To bring you closer to my choice of course.
"Introduction with mom and dad. Can you?"
"May tell your mom if you want to come"
"Good, ma"
I finished breakfast earlier than usual and waited on the porch. Not long after that Bian came to pick me up.
"Sister Bian said goodbye to my parents huh. Mumpung papa hasn't gone to work yet"
"Good, Honey"
****************
Bian has been trying to introduce me to his mom and brother. I actually lack the initiative to introduce to papa and mama. Bian is close to Dewo but rarely has a chance with papa and mama.
Unlike Doni because he used to deliver a supply of cut chicken to the house just more often meet my parents
Bian's antique car drove through the morning road to Miepa. After making sure Rika was working properly then we continued on our way.
I then asked Bian to stop at the souvenir shop to buy a hand for Aunt Lusi. Even though I couldn't afford the expensive stuff he gave me at least showed my attention to him.
"Bian brother where we are. Your house or to Danar's?"
"Fetch mama and brother Danar at 'About Soul'.
"You used to call Danar with Bang Danar now why be Kak Danar?"
"Because his ex called Bang Danar. I don't know why he refused to be called Bang Danar when they broke up. He likes it that's who he is"
I laughed at Bian's explanation. Brother Danar is unique. We picked up Aunt Lusi and Brother Danar. The car drives to the city beach, where Bian tells his family.
"Tante today will return to Jakarta again, Nggrek. Hope we can meet again"
"Yes, Aunt. Sweetheart just a moment here must be a lot of places that have not been aunty visit"
"Right to the Sudirman shophouse just this morning went the same, Danar. Oh yes said Bian here there is a delicious seafood stall. We eat there, yes"
In the parking lot of the seafood stall, I overheard a casual conversation of Danar and Aunt Lusi walking in front of us.
"Ma, why not use a private plane?"
Lightly Danar asked in a speech like I asked Natasha why not use an online taxi.
"The ordinary journey of Danar is not a business trip. Mama doesn't think there's any need for papa not to come"
I increased my concentration on listening to their conversations. Private plane rental is certainly not cheap not for ordinary people but the way Danar asks as if they have often done it.
"Why didn't papa come?"
"There's work, Oh yeah when are you back in Jakarta again?"
"Not anytime soon because there's something Danar has to do here"
I admire the way Aunt Lusi eats seafood. Absolutely not abandoning the elegance he possessed.
"We're going straight to the airport, yeah. The food here is all good. You can gain weight in an instant if it lasts longer"
Danar and Bian laughed, They said her mother always panicked if the scales went up. We then continued our journey to the airport.
It is wrong to walk with someone higher up. Using high heel makes calves sore immediately. Using kets, height is only limited to the chest.
I know how many times Bian idly closed his eyes by standing in front of me. The back or chest of the field is right in front of the face. At first I still refrained from protesting. I was finally upset too.
"Dian!" I purposely dropped the call of my brother.
"Whataa!"
"Surge!"
"What the hell are you two doing?" Danar who was walking in front of us asked. Aunt Lusi smiled a little at us.
"Anggrek aunty first yes. Aunty will always support your relationship with Bian but you also have to try also because it is only limited that can be done"
"Thank you aunt, be careful on the road. Hope to see you back. Orchids have something for aunts. May you accept it"
"Oh Orchid, Auntie is very happy" She smiled broadly accepting my gift. Makes the heart feel relieved.
I greet Aunt Lusi while Danar and Bian are busy taking care of aunt's luggage to the porter.
This time I found one piece.At least I know another one of the Setya family members supported me.
********
After taking Danar. We're heading to the boutique because I haven't been there today.
"Sister Bian will have dinner at home with my family, huh? Can you?" Bian's smile seemed to expand.
"Dear love I'll pick you up and go straight to your house"
"Yes"
We are grown men and women who have the same dream. Want this relationship to go higher without leaving our family role here.
I meant to bring Bian closer to my family. Just like he's trying. Bian delivers to the boutique and will pick up later.
I was just sitting next to Natasha when my phone rang.
"Yes, what's wrong Rika?"
"Kak Orchid was there the owner of the shophouse came. He asked Orchid. Said he wanted to meet up with brother to talk to the shophouse"
"Oh yeah, I'll call Lisa's mom"
"But brother... Hmmmm Ms. Lisa asked to be delivered to Orchid's sister if the contract is not extended"
"What is Rika?"
"Rika does not understand Orchid's sister"
"Okay, Rika thanks for the information"
"What Orchids, Miepa Contracts can not be extended?" Natasha must have listened to my conversation just now.
"Yes, it's strange to know why it won't be extended. I can borrow your car, Nat. It's better to talk to Lisa directly than to call her on the phone.
"I didn't bring the car before Gege was delivered since she was pregnant she suggested to reduce driving the car"
"Then I borrow Tania's bike"
It's rare that I use a motorbike but today I run it with a high-speed Tania matic motorbike. Just now I'm relieved the meeting with Mama Bian went smoothly now having to deal with the rent of Miepa shophouse.
It didn't take long for me to arrive at Miss Lisa's residence for not contacting her for my arrival. Ms. Lisa was not there but I insisted on waiting for her.After almost two hours, the little lady had just arrived at her house.His face looked unfriendly
"Mom Lisa, I've got information about the non-extended shophouse rental. If you can figure out what the reason is?"
"I want to use the shophouse"
"I understand because Lisa's mom is the owner of this shophouse but as a tenant the plan in the future will extend the lease"
"You just said it. Too bad it's too late"
"Isn't it two months away?"
"Yes but usually the other tenant before two months already told for an extension"
I know there's a lie, the explanation obviously doesn't make sense. It's just that I'm in a position of need.
"Mom would add the rental fee. I'm ready to add"
"No, I stick to the decision that has been delivered. I'm pretty good informed before two months. At least you still have time to clean up leaving the shophouse"
Miss Lisa walked away from me into the house. Leave a feeling of tightness in the chest. That's how he treated me. It's so hurtful.
I'm driving Tania's matic motorbike back. Enjoying my own tears drying up in the wind. The tightness that caused the anger made me cry.
Miepa's main branch has been supporting the most revenue. In addition to the strategic place is also the place where my most complete merchandise is sold there.
Miepa shophouse main branch is larger than the other two branches and consideration I built Miepa kitchen in the new house because the location of the house is close to the main Miepa shophouse.
"How" Nat asked with worry. My look must have been tangled in tears that dried up plus street dust because I deliberately did not cover the helmet glass.
"Not extended for unclear reasons"
"It's weird that you've been negotiating might want to raise the cost of rent"
"I offered but he refused"
"Prophey, Nggrek. Calm down, there must be a way. There's still time to find another shophouse"
"Thank you Nat"
All day long my mood has been declining. My mind felt full of imagining finding another adequate place. Throughout my memory the Miepa area of the main branch has no empty shophouses.
Bian picked me up, he's been tidy with a shirt and hair that's still a little wet. Smelled a calming fragrance from him. I took the time to polish the thin makeup before meeting up.
"Why dear there seems to be a problem" He looked at me while in the car.
"There's nothing just that I'm tired" I leaned into the car seat, closed my eyes and massaged my forehead.
My mind was spinning considering the empty shophouse in Miepa area. Bu Indah's name flashed in his mind, Do I have to contact him. There may be acquaintances who have shophouses not far from Miepa.
Then I have to postpone the transfer of Miepa production from my mother's house to my new home. Until there is clarity for the location of the new Miepa shophouse.
I still closed my eyes with all my thoughts passing when there was warm air felt in my nose and lips.
My reflexes opened my eyes and the first one looked Bian's handsome face at close range. I immediately inched away but was restrained by Bian's hand.
"You want to tell me about your problems or stay in this position until your parents get out of the house?"
Panic alarms directly in On position. My eyes were looking out the window and we were already in the yard. Too much thinking about the problem of shophouses makes you unconscious has arrived at home.
"Good.. Baiikkkkk I'll tell you but we go down first huh"
I pushed Bian's body away but he stayed in position.
"Don't burden yourself with problems. Share it with me"
"Belk!! But get away from me, don't let my parents know"
"Alright but I'll do it again if you still keep your own distress" Bian's lips flashed a wide smile watching me get out of the car with wide strides.
My face flushed when I left the car. He is a book I will soon read. Its nature from cold to warm then turned ignorant beyond my expectations.
"You won't know me if you keep getting away from me"
This time, I decided to finish this book.
