Me And You For Us

Me And You For Us
Family Lunch's.


They have a burning container of iron. Just put the charcoal and blame it, after that put the chicken or meat on the iron. Ephraim was used to doing this, because they liked to burn corn at certain events.


Darel did not strongly smell the cooking, so moved to work in the living room with Mr. Darpha and Micah.


"Why move here." Ask Micah.


"Can't stand the smell of his cooking, so want to eat." Darel said with a smile.


After the chicken is cooked, Kandara let it sit for a moment before it is fried and baked. While the red bean soup made by Bu Selvine has begun to be seasoned. The smell is getting tempting.


Towards lunch, Mr. Darpha got the info that, they could already leave for Seoul. Mr. Darpha called Ms. Richel to talk about it.


"When is Mommy going back to Seoul.?" Ask Mr. Darpha.


"Tomorrow in the afternoon, Dad.., let it be Saturday or Sunday they can get married." Answer Ms. Richel. Mr. Darpha nodded in understanding.


"Darel, you married in the Church privately first yes, so no need to hire someone else. Later after that you just make a party and invite your brother or friends." Said Mrs Richel.


"Okay, Mom. Darel will talk to Micah next. But for the departure date to Seoul and the wedding day we talk to Dara and Ma Selvine after lunch. Don't let them be surprised if it's too soon." Darel and the three of them nodded in agreement.


Not long after, Efrima called them all to lunch. All the dishes are on the dining table. After Ms. Richel prayed, they enjoyed lunch together. Because dining table chairs are limited, there are those that eat in the living room.


Like last night, Darel, Micah and his parents were able to adjust to the conditions of the Kandara family. When Mr. Darpha saw the red bean soup, he asked Kandara.


Kandara explains and suggests tasting a little first. Kandara took a plate and a small spoonful for Mr. Darpha and Bu Richel to try it.


They immediately nodded their heads. Darel looked at Ms. Selvine and smiled. Ms. Selvine breathed a sigh of relief, as the Darel family could enjoy the dishes they cooked.


*- There is pepata; unknown, no dear. Same with food -*

After lunch, Ms. Richel helped Ms. Selvine clean up. Because Darel talked to Kandara before having serious talks with other families.


They went to Efrima's room to talk.


Darel sat in Efrima's study chair, while Kandara sat on the edge of the bed. Before speaking, Darel held Kandara's hand and looked at her. Kandara knows, this is a serious conversation.


"Well, did you have all the letters for marriage ready.?" Ask Darel slowly.


"Yeah, Darel, I've prepared everything.." Kandara answered, and Darel breathed a sigh of relief.


"Thankful, the important thing is that you have prepared. Look, Dara.., we're leaving for Seoul tomorrow afternoon. It'll be discussed after lunch." Darel said seriously.


"But before we talk together, I talk to you first. So that later when Mommy and Daddy talk about this, you're not surprised. And also so you can help convince Mama."


"Does it have to be this fast, Darel.? We're not ready for anything." Kandara began to worry. This was what Darel was worried about, Kandara panicked and would make Bu Selvine hesitant.


"Not to shrink you and Mama, but this is my responsibility. You don't need to prepare anything, the important thing is that all the letters for marriage are ready. The others are my part." Darel said as he stroked Kandara's hand.


Kandara was still silently digesting Darel's words, she was indeed ready to get married but she did not expect it to be this fast.


"You can ask for extra leave from the office like daddy said last night.?" Ask Darel, and Kandara nods in agreement.


"Try talking to their teacher or principal. If they are not allowed, children will be forced to postpone 1 year of lessons." Darel, seriously.


"Well, tomorrow morning I'm going to school to talk to their teachers and principals. The important thing is that you've agreed that until they're out of class. You'll talk to the kids later, lest they feel inferior to their friends." Said Kandara, and Darel nodded in agreement. Darel invited him to stand up to come down and talk to the others.


"Thank u.., has made it easier for me." Say Darel while hugging Kandara and rubbing her back. Kandara nodded silently in Darel's arms.


After disembarking, Kandara searches for her mother who turns out to be in the room. He conveyed the plan to be discussed and asked for the understanding of his mother. Bu Selvine nodded in understanding what Darel had told Kandara.


Not long after, Ms. Selvine's room door was knocked and Efraim came in and said Oma and Mommy had been waiting in the living room. They went out with Ephraim.


After they had all gathered, Mr. Darpha began the conversation.


"Look, Bu Selvine and Dara., all the letters for the purpose of leaving are OK, so we plan tomorrow afternoon, we will all leave for Seoul. We'll do what we planned last night for Darel and Dara's wedding." Said Mr. Darpha, and all was silent.


"With regard to the wedding date, Mommy and Miss Selvine will talk with Darel and Dara. It can be discussed in flight. What matters now, Dara takes care of her leave and the children's holidays. And Ms. Selvine for her boutique that will be left for some time." Say Mr. Darpha again.


"Oooh yaa.., to set off tomorrow,; Miss Selvine, Dara and the kids don't have to prepare anything. Only letters and drugs if there are any. For clothing, do not take it. Everything will be taken care of by Darel and Micah." Said Mr. Darpha, Kandara looked at Darel's face with no understanding. Darel gave the code to calm down.


"Look, tomorrow it is, Mama, Dara and the kids don't have to carry clothes. For all those needs later there we just prepared. As Daddy said, Darel, Micah and Mommy will help prepare together." Darel said, and Kandara nodded in agreement to see Darel's code for him to agree.


Kandara stood up to the kitchen to calm her heart by picking up fruits. Because of what he said, he never thought about it. Suddenly Kandara's phone located on the sideboard shook.


"Mommy, Pani Toby called." Said Efrima, when looking at Kandara's phone.


Kandara was going to the kitchen to pick up pudding and fruits to serve, so Efrima received her call. Darel shook his head, seeing what Efrima was doing.


"Allooo, Pani Toby.." Sapa Efrima, to his spiritual Papa.


Allooo, Efri.., Mommy's busy.?" Ask Toby.


"Lumayan, Pani..,." Answer Efrima.


"Then, Efri please stick out and bring the phone close to Mommy, yes.." Toby said, seriously.


"Yeah Pani, this is it." Efrima said as she brought her phone closer to Kandara. Because it has been dispiker, he does not feel good to turn it off.


"Ok, pretty..,thank u.. Allooo, Marion.. The application is done.?" Ask Toby.


"Already, Mas.." Kandara replied, surprised.


"Ooh, thank God, you forgot to have an appointment with Mr. Jinwoo, huh..?" Ask Toby.


"Gosh, I'm sorry, I totally forgot. Was he meeting today.?" Ask Kandara worriedly.


"Not just today, but now. He arrived in Jakarta this morning and asked for his meeting now. I thought he told you." Toby said, astonished. Because he and Mala have been emailed before.


"Maybe it is, Mas. But I haven't checked my email." Kandara said anxiously. Darel noticed Kandara's anxiety and asked Ephraim. Because he did not understand their quick conversation. Darel has started to learn Indonesian, but it is still standard.
