Without saying anything, Mario immediately pulled Dinda's hand towards the table.

Now they sit facing each other.

"Please Mr.. Miss.." said the waiter gave me a menu list.

Mario smiles at the waiter, and turns to Dinda.

"What do you want to eat Din?" he asked, occasionally turning his eyes to the menu list.

Dinda seemed confused to see the contents of the menu list.

"Just reading the list, my tongue feels weird." - Inwardly.

Mario furrowed his two eyebrows, as Dinda did not reply, still observing the menu list.

"Din, what do you want to eat..?" again he asked.

"I drink, sir, because I'm still full" said Dinda.

"Are you sure you don't want to eat?" ask Mario

"Yes sir, I ate it already" replied Dinda, lying.

Mario still observes the look on Dinda's face.

"He said he had eaten, but why does his face look pale?" his mind.

"I came here because I want to eat with you Din." he said. "If you don't want to eat, I don't either." he continued, a little cranky.

Dinda who heard Mario's words, chuckled.

"Hihi.. father is rich little boy know? take the show to make everything." he said, feeling funny.

"Well, I'd like to have lunch with you." said Mario, spoiled.

"Yes, rather than not eating, later the father even sick, especially if the father is sick, then I will blame the parents of the father." replied Dinda at length.

Mario smiled sumringah, "that's why I ordered foie gras one, same creme brulee one" Mario told the waiter.

The waiter noted, "what's your drink?"

"Drinking lemon tea is fine." continued Mario.

"Okee" said the waiter.

The waiter turned his gaze toward Dinda, "What message do you want?" tanyakanya.

Dinda seemed to think, "emm, just like me" he said with a smile.

"Well, it turns out our tastes are the same" he said Mario, happy.

Dinda blushed in embarrassment, in fact she did not understand and had never eaten food like this.

After recording the order, the waiter left the two of them.

"Then excuse me first, please wait for Mr. Miss." he said.

"Okay mba" replied Mario briefly.

****

While waiting for the order to arrive, they continued the chat.

"Oh yes Din, how is your mother?" tanyakanya.

"Huhuhh.." Dinda took a long breath.

He did not want to tell anyone about his mother's condition, because he did not want to trouble others later.

Mario furrowed his eyebrows, "why Din?" ask Mario wonder.

"Emm. gapapa ko sir, my mother's condition has started to improve, maybe two or three more days can go home" he said, lying.

"Oohh.. If that's good, I'm happy to hear it" said Mario.

Mario was silent for a moment, preparing the right words for him to say.

Mario began to hold Dinda's hand, while staring in Dinda's eyeball.

"Din, when your mother comes home, I'll propose to you soon, will you marry me?" mario showed his seriousness.

Deg

"Yes, I want to marry you" Mario replied firmly.

Deg deg deg

Dinda's heart grew stronger, looking nervous from the look on her face.

He didn't expect Mario to be serious with him.

"Ma_ I'm sorry sir, I'm not ready" said Dinda stammered as she lowered her face.

"Why? don't you love me? ask Mario.

" Mum_ is not so sir.., sa_I just want to make sure my mother's condition first. I'm afraid if I get married later, I can't divide my time for my mother sir." said Dinda still stammered while putting on a clear face.

Mario sighed, "I don't mind if you spend more time with your mother I'm going to." said Mario gently.

Dinda raised her face, then looked closely at Mario's face.

" Not now sir, I beg you to give me some time" said Dinda again, hoping.

Mario took a deep breath, smiling forcefully.

"Well, I'll wait for you until you're really ready to marry me" she said.

Dinda feels wrong and feels bad about Mario, but she has to do it for a mother who needs her more.

Instantly the atmosphere became quiet, Mario with a sense of disappointment, while Dinda with a sense of guilt.

Dinda loves Mario, but loves his mother more, which is a priceless treasure in his life, a trust from his late father that he must keep, to always keep and protect his mother.

Dinda held fast to her promise, until she put aside her personal affairs including matters of the heart.

Mario tries to understand Dinda's rejection, though it leaves him a little disappointed. But he will keep trying to wait for Dinda, until the time comes.

"Excuse Me, sir..Miss!" said the waiter who suddenly broke the silence between the two.

The waiter served some of the food they ordered.

"Please Mr.. Miss!" the waiter allowed me to eat.

"Yes, thank you!" mario and Dinda at the same time.

"Together Master, Miss! excuse me." said the waiter, about to leave.

"Yes, please mba.." said Mario.

The waiter immediately left the two of them, while Mario and Dinda immediately enjoyed the food that was available.

The atmosphere of silence again enveloped the two of them, looking Mario who really enjoyed his food.

But not with Dinda, he felt his tongue was less friendly with his food.

"Why does it feel so weird?" his inner.

He stirred his food, occasionally glancing at Mario.

"What's so good? it's weird like this." he continued, still entrenched.

Mario stopped eating, staring at Dinda.

Mario smiled slightly, "why is the meal just stirred up?" tanyanya gently.

Dinda regained her senses, laughing.

"I don't usually eat food like this sir., my tongue is used to Indonesian cuisine" he said innocently.

Mario who heard Dinda's innocence laughed. " Why not say that from earlier? pake followed the same food message" he said meledek.

"Dad, his brother all ate here strange, I know rich food so much sir." said Dinda was upset, and made Mario laugh again.

"Yes, here I bribe. Let your tongue get used to it." he said teasingly.

Sontak made the look of Dinda's face reddened, resisting embarrassment.

Without much pleasantry, Mario immediately greeted Dinda with feelings. While Dinda feels awkward with Mario's treatment of him, but there is a sense of pleasure in him.
