"Said her mate's mother Neng Samira has headed here. Neng Samira just need to wait, no need to pick up" that's the message his mother conveyed through bi Naroh.
After a few minutes the family was waiting which he said brought the candidate to be betrothed to his daughter. Seen, right in front of the house they have parked a luxury car owned by his business partner.
"Welcome Mr. Adnan, It has been a long time since the birth of your second son we have not gathered like this" Hartono said.
Tonight the family was specially invited as a special guest. Guests invited to eat dinner together as an expression of gratitude for the help of the family, as well as of course the hidden intentions that the father and mother planned in advance.
Dianna, the wife also welcomed the family with a big smile and with a friendly. Apparently, Adnan and Hanna and their two children welcomed the warm welcome.
"Rafiq!, your name is Rafiq isn't it?, aunt isn't wrong right?" Dianna asked the handsome young man who was right behind her mother.
"Yes, my aunt, I am Rafiq" he said as he extended his right hand to greet Dianna with a hug.
"Have you grown up?, finished college son ?"
"Aunty, now I'm helping Father in the Company" replied Rafiq and then in his heart muttered "Enough, don't ask again. My gut tells me that the next question will be very difficult for me to answer"
"Wife?...., is married ?"
And sure enough, before long he muttered the question he wanted to avoid was said from a mother who was blessed with a beautiful child who was almost his age. And now, his mind is looking for the right answer so that the next question is not spoken again.
"Do'a is getting married soon aunt"
"With whom?, aunt's time is not told." Diana asked curiously, who then changed the direction of her position facing the mother of the handsome young man.
"Mom Hanna, Rafiq already has a candidate huh?"
"Jeez.." muttered Rafiq.
"Hmmm..." Hanna answered confusedly and then glanced at Rafiq who shook her head slightly and a second later she immediately understood the intention of the ring.
"Do'a right away he's got a candidate for ma'am"
"Ohh... I think I have a candidate. Mercifully. Come with me" said Dianna walked first who then directed the family to the dining room.
Whether what is meant by the phrase 'Thank God' by Dianna, which is certain for now, Rafiq felt a little calm because he was free from sensitive questions like that.
"Oh yeah, Rafiq boy, this is a auntie's son. Her name is Samira" Dianna said as soon as she reached the dinner table.
Samira, who was tidying the dining table with their housekeeper, stopped and walked down towards her mother. Down a little embarrassed and a little bit dislike the event tonight that his family made. Samira feels there is a meaning from his father and mother to him later.
"Samira.." said Samira with a smile and then looked down again.
"Rafiq…"
For a moment Rafiq was silent for a moment trying to think with a face so familiar in his memory. With Samira's position down, Rafiq had trouble seeing the face that made him curious.
"Please, enjoy the dish" said Dianna when all the dishes prepared have been arranged neatly on the table.
After a few minutes they enjoyed the dinner, Hartono's motion, the father of Samira looks to start the conversation.
"Your second son, do you have a future wife ?" Ask Hartono
"Jeez.." muttered Rafiq.
That is again, a very sensitive question for Rafiq to discuss at the present time which he thinks is very inappropriate. Time must tell him to answer that question with hospitality. The question also made Samira a little shocked and looked at the handsome young man.
"Not yet" Rafiq went ahead of his family to answer. slightly arched the smile on his lips looked at the woman sitting right before him.
The answer 'yet' is chosen as an expression that it can be yes and it can also be not. At least he had made his current position safe. Even if he is honest, then the answer he will say is not to have a candidate. That he did to avoid asking 'why not have?, but already established, handsome again, what are you waiting for?' Classic sentences when meeting family or just acquaintances like today, who see a free young virgin like himself.
At first glance, Rafiq's gaze now clearly saw the woman's face, even though only a glance, he was able to record the face in his memory and trigger his memory in high school first.
Rafiq finally recognized Samira's face. That woman was her underclassman at Cita Bina High School first. At that time Samira was a beautiful woman who was smart and was one of the idol in her school. The students were no exception Rafiq liked him. Maybe ‘suka’ is meant by Rafiq is just like a high school teenager who is still learning to mature and learn to drop his love.
Now, at the home of the beautiful woman he once liked back in High School, he has to answer that question. The same feeling when it arrived appeared just like that in a different place and age.
"Ohh... Mercifully. Samira has no candidate yet" said Dianna staring at her son and Rafiq alternately.
Instantly, the atmosphere became silent, only the sound of the friction of the spoon and plate clashing sounded slightly echoed in the room.
Rafiq who felt the atmosphere had started to strange and also did not want to hear the next conversation, immediately a little forcing his brain to think, how to get him out of the gripping room?.
"Gosh, my phone left in the car" As if you knew where the next topic of conversation would lead, a little pretending to hunt, as if, he immediately ended his meal with a mouthful of water and then passed from the room quickly.
"How about we match our son" Hartono proposed looking at Rafiq's father.
"That sounds like a great idea. It also strengthens our family relationships, right?" Adnan.
And now, the chat that Rafiq predicted was true. Shortly after he came out of the room, Rafiq still heard the voice of the father of the woman who made him curious earlier and then took his steps towards the car as if he did not want to listen to the conversation.
"What do you think, Samira, you didn't go to the same high school?" At least you know each other." Hartono asked the other child.
"How's Samira?" Connect Dianna.
"I'm up to my son, ma'am" Hanna said at once to see Samira silently lowered her head. Hanna now understood Samira's silent feelings without responding to the mother's question.
Hanna, a mother who is very close to her second son, understands that her son is very understanding in choosing a good wife for him. It is not that Samira is not worthy of being a future wife for her child, but all decisions are left to her child. Because he was very aware that the one who lived it was not him. Nor does he let his son be free to freely choose his future wife.
Deliberately lingering in the car, Rafiq finally decided to go back in the room earlier. Hope the topic of conversation has been completed or at least has changed.
"Thank you Mr. Adnan for coming, I will be happy if we meet again with a different status, of course with a closer status"
"Gosh, that's the topic again. Be patient, another minute seems to be over" Rafiq told him.
"Alright Mr. Hartono, then we say goodbye first" said Adanan
"Excuse me Miss Diana" Hanna said,
Without saying anything, Rafiq immediately extended his hand to shake Dianna and was returned with a hug by her.
"Tomorrow between Samira to the campus yes, later aunt send her mobile number" whispered Dianna, a little heard by Hanna who first headed to their car to catch up with her husband.
After the gripping dinner according to him was finished, Rafiq finally could breathe a sigh of relief to immediately leave the house. Although in his heart he wanted to get to know Samira more deeply. But the matter of love he cannot impose one's will. Because, the woman he likes used to have a high school partner first. Either until now still with him or not, or even already have a new one. If indeed he is the joda then it will surely meet later, and that tomorrow according to the mother of the woman.
