"Let's get down. Somebody wants to see you, Al."
Still with a puzzled face and continuing to stare at Dimas, Alila stood beside the car door. He was approached by Dimas who grabbed his hand and took their steps towards the house.
Upon entering the door that had been wide open since they had arrived, Dimas grasped Alila's hand with a feeling of confidence and confidence. For a moment he turned his face towards Alila who looked tense.
"Assynoltomodel.." Say them simultaneously.
"Goddessalam.."
There was an answer from inside because the living room still looked empty. Dimas continued to hold Alila's hand, waiting until someone came to the living room.
"Ali...!"
Alila saw a woman come holding a beautiful toddler with a pink headdress. She is Indira, Dimas' sister-in-law. And the tiny one-year-old toddler was Sekar, the son of Indira.
"Sir Indi.."
Dimas let go of Alila's hand after seeing the smile on her beautiful lips. Indira had seen the grip of both of their hands.
Alila approaches Indira and baby Sekar. They greeted each other and asked for news, while occasionally Alila kissed and pinched the golden cheek of baby Sekar.
Dimas left them to talk and went inside. In the dining room there was his mother who was tidying up the dishes that had been prepared for breakfast together.
There was also his father who was busy with his cell phone. Darma is Dimas's only older sister.
"Where is he, Dim?"
Mama looked at Dimas for a moment and continued to arrange the plates and glasses on the dining table.
"Mama's daughter-in-law is very beautiful, Ma. My sister didn't choose wrong." Chirping Darma.
He had a glimpse into the living room, when he heard the chatter of two women interspersed with the crisp laughter of baby Sekar. So he already knew who had come with Dimas.
Mama gave a smile and again glanced at her youngest son who was still standing with one hand leaning against the chair next to her.
"really? Let's get him to join us. Breakfast is ready." Pinta Mom.
Dimas walked back towards the living room. His smile flashed while looking at the beautiful scene before his eyes. Alila laughed with baby Sekar in her arms. Every now and then the beautiful baby chuckled as Alila asked her to speak.
(It turns out you're just as cute and adorable as a baby, Al. You seem to love children very much.)
"Al, Indi's sister, Mama has asked us to go to the dining room."
Dimas had already hidden his smile before anyone saw him.
Indira nodded then took baby Sekar from Alila's embrace. While holding her daughter, Indira stood up and headed towards the dining room.
"Come, Al. We have breakfast together."
Alila stood up and looked at Dimas who was still waiting for her across the table. Suddenly he felt his heart beating very fast, imagining being reunited with Dimas' parents.
Several times he had met Dimas' parents, but always with his other friends. But this time, he was alone.
As if he could feel Alila's nervousness, Dimas extended his hand to hold Alila's hand.
"Don't be afraid, Al. I'm right next to you."
Dimas smiled and kissed the back of Alila's hand he had already grasped. Then they both stepped together.
(You're making me nervous, Dim.)
And all those who had sat around the table, set their eyes on Dimas and Alila who entered with the grip of a hand that did not escape their sight.
"Ehem.." Darma nudged the body of his sister who was standing nearby.
"Yes, don't be told anymore. Alila, come sit down, son."
Mama greeted Alila with a friendly and soft voice.
"Good morning, Auntie, Om."
Alila took off her hand and walked over to Dimas's parents and kissed them respectfully. After that, shake hands with Darma.
Dimas and Alila were sitting next to each other. When Darma and his papa are served by his partner, spontaneous Alila who is used to also prepare breakfast Dimas painstakingly make Dimas and everyone smile.
"Thank you, Al." Said Dimas while receiving the filled plate from Alila's hand.
Alila replied with a smile then filled the plate for her herself and immediately sat back down.
"Alila, don't hesitate. Let's enjoy breakfast. A rare moment could be gathered completely like this."
Papa asked everyone to start their breakfast.
Secretly everyone noticed Dimas and Alila. The dimas were as calm as ever while occasionally glancing towards Alila. While Alila instead seemed unsettled and tense, because this was the first time she had gathered together the entire Dimas family.
Last night Dimas just said he would pick her up for breakfast together. At least he was not told if he would be taken to Dimas' house and reunited with his entire family.
Dimas himself was asked by his parents to introduce his lover. Because yesterday they had just come during the day, it was agreed that Dimas would take him to breakfast together, before his family returned home out of town.
Dimas' parents also did not know that what would be introduced to them was Alila. They knew Alila as their best friend. Therefore when Dimas introduced Alila, although surprised but they were happy because Dimas' lover was not a new person, but a woman who had been well known to them.
After breakfast together, Alila helps Mama and Indira clean all the dirt on the dining table and in the kitchen.
"Already, Alila. No need to bother yourself here. You're just ahead of Dimas."
From the beginning Mama Dimas had already banned Alila from helping in the back. But Alila insisted on keeping everything clean.
"It's okay, Auntie. It's just a normal homework."
Alila tries to get rid of her nervousness by continuing to help mom Dimas and Indira. Occasionally he joins in with light conversation on the sidelines of their activities.
With ease and deft hands Alila washed all the cookware and cutlery that had been used. After that he dried everything with a clean cloth, then placed in the storage drawer in each place.
The kitchen in Dimas' house is very rarely used because his parents and brother rarely come home here. Dimas itself only occasionally down to the kitchen just boil water or cook instant noodles. He eats out more often or orders food online.
After everything was done, mama Dimas invited Alila to gather with the others in the living room. Indira does not come because it will keep baby Sekar who has just fallen asleep in the sling Darma and has been placed on the bed in the old room Darma.
From her seat Dimas watched Alila who had just come out of the kitchen with her mother. As Alila was also looking at him, she signaled a hand to sit next to him.
Alila waited for Dimas' mother to sit down first, only then did she approach Dimas and sit next to him.
