Knock knock knock ...
The sound of knocking on the door stopped Dinda from tidying up the dining table.
"Hey, are you ready?" The bright blue shirt man looks relaxed and the matching colored jeans add to the level of Arya's handsomeness, a cold doctor in everyone's eyes.
"Do you want to come in for a while or could we just go straight?" A woman who wears a navy jeans shirt and a skirt below the knee, her hair is pinned in the middle made Dinda is getting more beautiful. This is one of the reasons Arya likes Dinda's personality. She doesn't need to look sexy and glamorous to look beautiful. Arya feels like to lock Dinda tightly so that no man could see her.
"Just go ahead. Where are your parents?"
"My mom and dad are at the hospital. They are visiting one of our neighbours. I'll take my bag first." Dinda hastened her steps to the room to tidy up her appearance and took her red sling bag. After making sure everything in the house are safe, Dinda locked the door and put the key in the flower pot.
"Shall we?" Dinda asked.
"Where are we going?" Dinda put on the seat belt and Arya did the same and he started to drive the car.
"I want to take you to meet my mom and dad." Dinda suddenly felt shocked. She widened her eyes.
"Why is it so suddenly?" Ask Dinda
"From the start I wanted to ask you but the time wasn't right. Now mom and dad are at home. They just got back from grandma's house." Arya smiled seeing Dinda's slightly nervous and panicked expression.
"Just take it easy. My parents are not the old-fashioned type." Dinda exhaled through her mouth feeling her chest tighten for a moment.
"Then, let's stop by the fruit shop first. I do not want coming without bringing anything." There is no provision for visitors to bring souvenirs. However, Dinda is a child who was taught by her parents about some manners when coming to someone's house, her hands should not be empty.
"Okay, if that is what you want, then we will stop at the fresh market." The hum of a song from Ed Sheeran could not get rid of Dinda's nervousness, who would meet Arya's parents for the first time.
During school, Dinda was rarely having socialized. Her friends was only 1-2 people. And, Arya is not included in 1-2 people, so Dinda had never gone to his house.
The car slid toward a fruit shop shop selling various fruits with clean, unique, and of course luxurious displays. Not long after that, some grapes and apples were arranged beautifully in a nice bamboo basket package.
After Arya paid for the groceries, they continued their journey.
The sky began to glow orange. It's an amazing sight and often made Dinda more aware of how extraordinary the Creator is. It is He who created the heaven and the earth, day and night with all the beauty and privileges that accompany them.
"I love looking up at the sky in the evening. It's so serene, peaceful, and so relaxing." Dinda's monologue made the man next to her smile. For some reason, since he was dating Dinda, he has become a person who is easier to smile and sees things not from one side anymore.
"Is it because afternoon is the time to go home from work so you like it?" Arya's question made the pinned-haired woman puff out her cheeks and make Arya burst into laughter.
"Tch, you! Arya, I'm serious. Why did you laugh at me?" Dinda folded her arms on her chest and turned her face to the window next to her.
"Okay, okay sorry, madam. I was joking. hahaha. We will be there in a minute." Arya stroked Dinda's hair.
The cluster gate opened as a security guard came out who gave a sign of respect to one of the residents of the luxury housing.
"How do I look Ar? My clothes aren't tacky, are they? My make-up isn't thick, is it? Huft, I'm wearing sneakers again today."
"You're beautiful, take it easy. I'm not going to take any girl to my house to see mama papa. You're the first girl I have ever met. Arya tried to calm the panicked woman who was suddenly insecure.
The doorbell was pressed without making a single sound because the sound of it only went into the house, not coming out. Arya could have just walked in without ringing the bell as usual. But, he wanted his parents to get ready first inside. Yes, Arya had informed them in advance about his arrival with a simple woman who had only been dating for 1 month.
"Young master Arya, the big mister and madam are on the side porch together ..." Arya immediately took Dinda's hand into the house through the living room and turned down the hall to the side terrace, before listening to the end of what one of her parents' servants said.
Sure enough, there were her parents and ... Shelly. Tch, why did that woman come, Arya thought.
"Arya? My husband, take a look our son is coming. Come here honey." A woman who is very expressive in a home dress but does not leave the characteristic of a rich woman calling her beloved husband who is enjoying various flowers spread around. And, there is a pretty young girl maybe her age sitting next to Arya's mother.
"Ma, Pa, let me introduce you to Dinda, Arya's future wife." Jleb, Dinda spontaneously widened her eyes and pinched Arya's palm, which still hadn't let go of her palm.
"Hehehe, Arya ... you ..." Dinda whispered very softly in the left ear of the man who had made her heart felt as if she was riding a roller coaster being carried off some crazy upturns a few seconds ago. And, Arya just smiled calmly, adding to the impression of a handsome doctor in her eyes.
"Oh, since when did you two get closed? How come you didn't tell us?" Same mom, I just found out, Dinda thought resignedly. Dinda caught a glimpse of Arya's father, his demeanor was calm but his eyes were sharp, Dinda could only bow his head.
"Auntie, it's nice to meet uncle and aunt. My name is Dinda. We were also a school friend from high school." Dinda approached Arya's mother and father and gave salim respect like the young to the old.
Dinda could see from the corner of her eye that the woman next to Arya's mother looked at her cynically and her lips sneered in displeasure. Oh, who is this girl? Arya doesn't have a sister. Perhaps ...
"Hi Ar, long time no see. You are very difficult to find. You never pick up the call. You...." The woman who approached Arya while placing her hand on Arya's right arm, stopped because it was pushed away by Arya who clearly didn't like her attitude.
"Keep your attitude Shel." Just one sentence from Arya was able to make everyone around frozen in silence. Arya's parents understand very well the characteristic of their youngest child who is harsh and cold to everyone.
Unlike his brother who is easy to get along with anyone. Even so, Arya is the most caring child and is always ready when her parents need hispresence.
Two cups of red syrup were delivered by a waiter and served carefully in front of Dinda Arya.
"Don't be tense, hun, mama papa isn't a wolf, hehehe. Isn't it Ma Pa?"
"What are you talking about, Arya? You only scare girls." Arya's mother said. Dinda's simple but beautiful appearance captivates the heart, her makeup is not flashy, and her clothes are polite, it's only natural that her iceberg child melts, thought Arya's mother.
"My son, Dinda is also working or still studying?" This time the question came out of Arya's father's mouth.
"Right now I am working, uncle, I graduated from college 4 years ago." Dinda answered politely.
"Dinda must be the first child, hmm?" Guess Mama Arya.
