"Jesus, you guys came? Why didn't you call first? Your father is at work, Katya," said Katya when she opened the main door and saw Raenal coming with Katya.
The woman chuckled, Katya couldn't predict her arrival either, only one night Katya came to Raenal's house to break up the fight between Raenal and Giral, Katya also didn't know if the two of them would go to Solo.
"Sorry, mommy. Bro Raenal wanted to come and didn't contact his mommy. Do dad is at work?" Katya asked choosing to go in first followed by Raenal walking behind her. "Yes, did you just call her because Raenal doesn't come all the time?" Raenal chuckled behind her back.
"No need, after all, Raenal and I are only here for one day. Isn't that right, Bro?" Katya asked the man walking behind her. "That's right, we only had a moment," Raenal answered, making Katya's mother understand.
"Sit here for a while to rest. I'll prepare a drink for you." Raenal saw Katya's mother walk into the kitchen and let her daughter sit beside Raenal.
"Why?" Raenal asked Katya making the woman raise one eyebrow slowly. "What why?"
"Why is your mommy so nice, Katya?" Raenal repeated making Katya roll her eyes lazily, the woman sat on the sofa beside Raenal and leaned her back. "Your mommy is very good too, don't be humble to be high, Bro. It's normal," Katya replied, making Raenal feel very guilty now.
What's wrong with living and being born among the rich? Wasn't Raenal also not wrong? Both of his parents did have enough money, had some stocks and savings, and a proper job.
And, what's wrong with Raenal liking an ordinary Katya? What should be limited also actually?
"I'm not high to be humble, I just love you," replied Raenal by giving a little defense to his girlfriend.
"You're just being normal, mom also thinks you're the same man as our family. What makes me blame you is that you were dishonest from the start," Katya replied, blaming Raenal, even more, when their situation was already in Katya's simple house too.
"Why do you keep cornering me, Katya? I didn't do anything to make you understand, since yesterday you tested my patience, what do you want," tired Raenal by stretching his body and leaning his body because of fatigue.
"Bro, I just want you to realize that if you love me it will make you poorer," Katya answered lightly making Raenal chuckle hearing that. "Katya, let me explain one by one."
This time the dominant man chose to give Katya some explanations in a soft and low manner. "What?" asked Katya back asking for information.
"If I'm being honest, how does the mindset that always thinks you have to get love and equal people make you comfortable? You and I already have a long and strong relationship. Why should it be the same?" Katya rolled her eyes lazily.
"I love you without seeing anything. I love you because I love you, not because I want to rise." Raenal pulled Katya's head into his arms and leaned against her chin.
"Then? All your doings to me buying me a car and buying me an apartment? Don't you accept me as I am?" asked Katya asking for a more reasonable answer when Raenal just looked at her sadly.
"Isn't everything I gave you for the feeling of my love for you? Why are you like this?" Raenal sighed heavily making Katya just silent without speaking.
"I just. Bro, I'm not sure. It's been a long time, and I'm not young anymore either. I'm afraid I'm not your last destination with this serious relationship. Isn't the sooner the better?" Raenal doesn't understand how Katya got such a stupid mindset, Raenal who just now really has to get this kind of treatment and just take it easy.
"Katya, are you ready to live with me very long and forever if we get married? I just want to make it clear to you, if you will accept me all, and I accept you all too. Are you ready and want to continue it a little longer? For a lifetime?" Raenal asked Katya making the woman shake her head slowly.
"Katya, why are you like this. Not only you who are old, but I am also old." Raenal thought the same thing made Katya roll her eyes lazily. "I want to get married," Katya said as quickly as it made Raenal swallow hard.
"Katya," scolded her mother who came with some snacks and drinks for the two of them. "What? Mommy told me I want grandchildren, right? I'm also asking Kak Raenal to marry me to grant mom and dad's wishes. I can't make my granddaughter, if Raenal can't I'll look for----"
"Okay, let's get married." Raenal this time asked firmly and suppressed every minute of his words with firm conviction. "Before that, let me ask you first. Do you want to marry me and live forever with me?" Raenal asked Katya making the woman roll her eyes lazily.
"Bro, you're not very romantic," Katya annoyed, making Raenal take a deep breath. "I came to your house to meet your father and mother. Played here not long, and came back again. Your proposal is not in my sight now. You've been cornering me to make me upset and want to be like this in front of your mommy?"
"Katya, this is not good. Just finish it alone," asked Raenal to make Katya's mother chuckle a little and stroke Raenal's shoulder after providing drinks and snacks for her guests. "Forgive us, Raenal. Mom just jokingly asked Katya, and it seems that Katya is also a little tired and talking about it with a little emotion."
Even Katya's mother began to intervene because she saw Katya continue to be angry and made Raenal angry in front of her. The good thing was Raenal was able to hold back all his anger that came to make the woman chuckle.
"Speak first, mommy will call dad to come home early." The woman again gave space to Raenal and Katya to talk about their problems with Katya's hand preventing her from leaving.
"Mommy, why don't you ask about Raenal's injured face? Just ask yourself, mommy. Don't go through me," Katya said making her mother silent and Raenal who was staring at Katya's face now.
What Katya wanted today.
"Gosh, all right." Katya's mother took a seat on the sofa parallel to that made Raenal smile faintly before. "I know what you're arguing about."
"I know Raenal's background, Katya," continued the old woman with a relaxed face, making Katya look away from her lazy gaze. "Daddy and mommy, right?" Katya asked her mother making the woman shake her head honestly. "Raenal called mom, two hours ago." Katya's mother gave a serious answer that made Katya furrow her brows seriously.
"Bro Raenal?" Katya asked in disbelief by pointing at Raenal who was sitting beside her but her face was glaring in disbelief at her mother. "Raenal fought with his younger brother right?" Katya's mother asked her daughter making Katya speechless in disbelief. "I don't know if----"
"I know," the woman answered again making Katya silent. "You're fighting about Raenal's background and we're not compatible, aren't you, Katya?"
"Son, whatever mom and dad taught you when you were young. We recognize our mistakes, we educate you with hard things that make it difficult for you to get what you want. I'm sorry." Katya chuckled laughing at how her mother was really happy to know everything.
"Don't ask Raenal for anything, mommy." Even this time Katya put a little limit on her mother so she didn't do anything out of her mind.
"Katya, what are you trying to say?" a mother asked her daughter when she saw Katya's very cruel response. "I know that Raenal is rich, has a lot of money, and everything. Bro Raenal doesn't want anything else by taking advantage of Sis Raenal's property to get what mommy----"
"Katya," Raenal scolded Katya when the woman judged her mother, even this time the woman gave her mother a cynical look. "Bro, my mommy is a money freak. If you marry me, I'm afraid you'll be poor because my mother will ask you a lot of money," Katya replied giving her boyfriend an excuse about her mother's behavior.
Good grief.
"Honey, never mind." Even this time it was Raenal who cut off the conversation between the two who were starting to hate and be rude. "I love you," he said again.
"Mum goes first," said the woman, walking away, leaving Raenal and Katya sitting on the sofa. "I'm going to call your dad to take you home to lunch. So, just prepare yourself," asked her mother to walk away leaving Raenal and Katya as well.
Katya's mother disappeared in front of the house, leaving Katya who got angry with her mother. "Don't be like that, Katya." Raenal even reprimands Katya for this matter.
"You don't know, Bro." Katya even replied no more than Raenal expected, but the woman remained silent.
"I'm not sure I can marry you because my mommy is really like that, Bro." Raenal heard with his ears how Katya was honest about her mother.
Raenal was stupid, the man said everything to Katya's mother without speaking to Katya first.
"Katya, whatever happens, whatever the risk. If I love you, then I must be ready to accept everything. Your mother, your father, your brother and sister, all of them Katya. I will learn to accept everything and you too," said Raenal giving Katya a little advice.
"But, my mommy is a woman who---"
"My daddy too. Me too, Giral too. Katya, no human is perfect, you're just trying to live side by side and love each other, so there's nothing wrong with anyone who needs to be blamed. You understand?" asked Raenal back making Katya look down silently and blame herself.
"All I remember and all I know, I just love the woman in front of me." Raenal stroked the top of Katya's head and hugged her. Five years is not a short time to understand and get to know you better, Katya."
"I was already prepared. I will propose to you after I graduate, I will give you most of my money to take care of the house. Wait a little longer okay? The house you dream of is not finished. Under renovation." Raenal said it by kissing Katya's forehead as a closing.
