When That Taste Is Present
Eps 2/CODING
Chayra is now seen busy diving into the virtual world of his flat object, and not long after he felt a hand embrace him from behind. Chayra's eyes immediately widened in shock.
"Hi, Honey.. Are you awake?" greeting a familiar voice, Chayra turned back to see if it really belonged to Dafri, her foreign husband. And it turned out to be true, it was Dafri who had embraced it cordially.
Just now Chayra was about to release Dafri's hands that had been coiled around his neck, but the intention was stopped when Dafri whispered something right in his ear Chayra.
"It's just a skit, Mama and Papa I'm in the back. I want us to look romantic and as if we are happy with this marriage" she whispered. Chayra was stunned for a moment, until she finally nodded her head in agreement.
"The new bride is awake, dear Chayra... How are you this morning? And.. How about, last night?" dina asked, Mama Dafri looked at Chayra and Dafri with her naughty glance.
"Alhamdulillah, today is good enough Ma." said Chayra with a big smile.
"Mama this is what the hell, how was it last night with them. That look, Aal's face immediately turned red with embarrassment." plucked Argantara while pointing at Daftri who looked faintly savvy.
"It's okay, Pa. Naturally, Mama asked like that, because Mama who was already impatient like she wanted to hold a grandchild." said Dafri, and they all laughed together in response to Dafri's words, except Chayra of course. Chayra was still confused in her attitude, while Dafri told her to play a show. Chayra who was still amazed - astonished by Dafri's attitude that seemed very happy with this marriage. In fact, it is not he himself who says will convince his parents that a marriage not based on love will not last long. However, even he himself appeared as if he had loved Chayra with all his heart. I don't know.. This is still a mystery to Chayra and she can't wait to ask Dafri what's really going on.
Dafri and his parents continued their conversation warmly. Chayra who was sitting beside Dafri did not make too many sounds, he only responded to their conversation when asked and the rest simply smiled and nodded his head if he agreed with what they were talking about.
"Where are you going on your honeymoon? Don't tell me you haven't planned to go on your honeymoon yet, Dafri." said Dina, who looked at Dafri with narrowed eyes.
"Remember Ma, we're going on our honeymoon. Weepy.. Not now that Dafri had not yet applied for leave," Dafri replied and then stuffed a spoonful of fried rice into his mouth.
"You'll just ask, Dafri. What is difficult, after all since you worked at the hospital it has never taken leave at all" said Dina.
"Yes, Ma. Dafri knew, but it just so happened that the other obstetrician was on leave as well, so there was no way that no doctor would stay there. Want Dafri not have to wait for the other Doctor to come in, then Dafri take a leave of absence." explained Dafri.
"I guess how long she'll be in?" now it was Argantara's turn to ask.
"It's about 2 or 3 days, Pa." Dafri replied with a thought.
"It's not too long to wait another 2 or 3 days. Isn't Chayra your honeymoon is delayed until 2 or 3 days?" argantara said to Chayra who had just been silent daydreaming.
"ee.. Yes, Pa. Nothing, Chayra no problem." said Chayra with a wave.
"Chayra this guy's patiently waiting, Pa. Is that right, baby??" dafri said then gently held Chayra's hand. And Chayra's eyes immediately looked at the hand that Dafri had held, he was again stunned by Dafri's treatment until he finally realized when Dafri's leg nudged his leg as a code that he had to follow Dafri's charade.
"Yes, Honey. I will always wait patiently" Chayra said with a big smile. The two Dafri parents also smiled, very clearly illustrated by the matchless happiness on their faces. Because then, they thought it was not in vain to match Dafri with Chayra and they could also feel the seeds of love between the two of them had begun to appear.
"Aldafric..!!" Chayra called Dafri who was still spending the rest of her breakfast.
"Call Aal or Dafri only!" his orders in a trenchant tone.
"Yes, Dafri." said Chayra at last with a sigh of annoyance.
"Hmmm... Yeah, Why?" ask Dafri while taking a drink and then drink it until it runs out.
"So that means what? You're telling me to make a show in front of your parents that it's as if we're receiving this matchmaking and marriage well?" chayra asked with a frown.
"That's right, Chayra. Pride first..!!" sahut Dafri is still at ease.
"Yes, but.. Wh why? I need a good reason to do that, because I'm not actually used to lying that doesn't fit my conscience" Chayra said.
"I did this for my Mama, Mama has heart disease and surely you know for yourself right how people with heart disease? They can at least hear the news that is not pleasant for them, because it can make them stress or even shock. And of course it will be very influential for his health, I do not want the health of Mama to be down. Hence, I pretended to be happy with this marriage. Because it is Mama who is very enthusiastic to match me with you" explained Dafri at length.
"But, until when do we go on a show like this?" ask Chayra again who is still not satisfied to hear the explanation from Dafri.
"Until an indefinable time, Chayra. I will definitely try also to talk well with Mama but yes it takes the right time, at least until Mama's health is stable again." replied Dafri.
"Oh, that's it." Chayra said in a quiet voice.
"Well, that's one of the reasons why I'm willing to accept this match" Dafri continued.
"How are you? Why would you marry me?" continue Dafri again by asking Chayra a question. Being asked like that, made Chayra slightly flinch.
"Me?? Ee.. If I am, yes, because of the parents as well." Chayra replied with a wave.
"To please the hearts of parents?" ask Dafri by affirming the answer from the Chayra.
"Yes, you could say that." replied Chayra with a thin smile that adorned her lips. In fact, that is not the only reason Chayra wants to accept her match with Dafri. There's something more important than that..
