The Suffering of Si Kembang Village
Facing a Meeting

Day starts in the morning. But the dark still refused to give up. Could he be jealous of the sun that will rule the day in a while?

No, it's not like that. Because God will always make them fill each other, and share each other. He, with all his majesty, has placed both times on each throne.

Although the rooster began to earthyly yell out his crow, but Gavin was still lulled in his melancholy.

Where does his soul travel? Doesn't it seem to be the Oranges or the famous Casablanca Tunnel? Seen from the handsome durja who is now smiling with eyes that are still closed.

Dream, where did you take her?

Ancol or Kebon Raya?

Huh! Never mind, let it go!

Drrrtt .. drrrttt .. drrrt ....

Amby! The vibra sound of the phone he put on the nightstand next to him was disturbing.

He opened his eyes slowly. Rubbing while taking the flat object without looking at it.

"Yes .. hello."

"Gavionnn .... Finally you want to pick up your mom's phone. Where are you, son? Why not go home for days?" Briana's voice on the other end of the phone.

Gavin slightly raised his body. Sit with your body rested on the head of the bed. "I'm in the apartment, Ma."

"What?! In apartment?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"But two days ago Mama went there. And you don't exist. And in the office."

"I just got back yesterday, Ma."

"Where's it coming back?"

"From Nilam's village."

"Nilam's? What's that for?"

"Asking for the blessing of her grandfather and sister to marry her," Gavin lightly answered.

"What?!" There was a surprised tone from Briana's voice.

"Why, Ma?"

There is no lawfulness.

Hygiene ....

But the timer on Gavin's phone is still running.

"Ma, is Mama okay?" Gavin's a little worried. Her mother's yes was suddenly ayan, because she heard she wanted to get married. Ulala ... That's right!

"I-yes, honey. Mama's fine." Although it sounded stiff, but the answer was enough to make Gavin feel relieved.

"Thank God."

"Gav ... do you seriously want to marry that village woman?" Briana wanted to know.

"Yes," Gavin's stern answer without hesitation. "I'll stick to my stance. I'm sure, sooner Mama's gonna love her, too."

Silence moment. "alright. Bring him here. Ask your father for his blessing. He'll be back this afternoon."

"Really, Ma? Papa's going home?" Gavin soars happy. He stood up for a moment with a big smile.

"Yes, Honey. Mama's gonna pick him up to the airport in two hours."

"alright. I must have gone home. Thanks, Ma. I love you. Muach ... muach ..." The kiss sprang up on his phone, representing a kiss for his mother.

Some time later ....

With a leisurely pace Gavin walked towards the kitchen. The cheerful glow on his face did not come off decorating. The formal appearance of a white t-shirt wrapped in a brown flight jacket, combined with navy blue jeans, makes it look different today. The scent of masculine perfume smelled fragrant all over the room.

Shower already? Sure oes.

"Darling ... What are you doing?" ask Nilam who is now struggling with the stove and frying.

"Gav ... is it up?"

"looks?" Gavin asked back. His face slightly frowned, because the woman would not look at him at all. Now he is standing right beside her.

Gav, it looks like your charisma was defeated by fried rice which is now the center of Nilam's attention on the frying pan. Miraculously.

Step towards the dining table. He sat his body on one of the chairs in between. Chin-backed. His eyes followed the movement of Nilam who swerved here and there.

Oh, that girl ... Gavin was already with the totality of his style, not attracting his attention at all.

Ulu-ulu pity ....

"Done." Nilam put two dishes of fried rice with two eggs of kebo eyes each one in the middle. "Let's have breakfast" he asked as he sat his body beside Gavin.

But it seemed that the man was still protesting with his jealousy at the egg on the fried rice that was now glaring at him.

"Gav ... Why?" Nilam was amazed to see the residence of his lover.

"No."

The wrinkles on Nilam's forehead began to thicken. "Am I wrong? Or because I was out last night?" tanyanya wants to know.

"I'm jealous."

"What?!" Of course Nilam was surprised. None of the men met him yesterday. Then who is the subject of Gavin's jealousy? "Jealous of who, Gav?"

"That kitten all night, and now this fried rice and egg took your attention away from me."

The answer made Nilam laugh.

"Gav ... is that reasonable? Are you jealous of a cat? And what's worse is fried rice and eggs that you'll even swallow soon." Laugh back. "Are you that bad, even this egg you consider a rival?" Nilam's laughter was getting louder.

"Stop laughing at me. Or you're the one I ate!"

"You're threatening me?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I'm not afraid!" Patchouli with a challenging face.

How interesting!

"really? Then let's start."

The mischievous smile on Gavin's face instantly faded Nilam's laughter. Why does that guy look so serious? "No-no. All right, let's eat. Cold hunt. Not good."

"alright. This time I forgive you," said Gavin smiling. "Oiya .. You take a shower. We're going to Mama's house."

"What?" Nilam jerked.

"Yes, my dad is coming home today. I'd like to introduce you to him. All asking for our marriage's blessing."

Tacit. In his heart Nilam was still not ready to meet Briana. Questions began to fill his mind.

Will Gavin's mother accept him, after his last meeting, which was filled with utterances that might make her hate him?

And now his father. Will her attitude be the same as Briana did to her?

That really makes him nervous.

"It's okay. Don'tbeafraid. Everything's gonna be okay." A single touch of Gavin on his palm calmed him down enough.

"Are you sure, Gav, you're gonna take me to your house?"

"Yes I'm sure. That's why my main goal is to go home. Introduce you to Papa and ask for his blessing."

"But I'm not sure, Gav."

Gavin smiles. "Calm down. I'll make sure everything's okay."

A moment of silence, Nilam tried to convince himself.

"All right."

"Good."

*****

"We're looking for the right clothes for you."

Yeah, Gavin took Nilam to a big boutique downtown.

"Shirt? What's for?"

"To make you look prettier in front of my parents."

"Is that necessary?"

"actually no. I just want to. It's okay, right?"

Momentary silence. "All right."

"Then let's find the best dress for you." Nilam just nodded.

The two begin to sort out and choose what they are looking for.

A girl in an ash shirt came over. "Can I help you, sir, Miss?" bargained for. Other girls were wearing the same clothes as him. Indicates that he is one of the employees at the boutique.

Gavin and Nilam turned their heads towards him. "I look for clothes that are simple, not complicated, but still beautiful." Answer Gavin.

"For this Miss?"

"Rubber."

"Alright, come with me. I'll show you some of our collections" she said, pointing her palm in a direction that revealed rows of women's dresses.

"okay."

"This, Sir. Please choose what you want." Several midi, mini and shift dress models were presented to Gavin and Nilam.

"Mr Gavin." A woman in her 30s with a typical social style suddenly came to Gavin with a face to look. "You here?"

"Miss Lusi."

"Wuah, it's been a long time huh, you're not here." His palm was directed at Gavin. "How are you, Sir?"

Replying to the woman's palm. "good. You yourself how are you?" ask Gavin.

"Oh, I'm always nice," replied the woman named Luci with a friendly smile. He is the owner of the shop itself. "Where's Miss Anita?" His head was looking for.

The instant of the question made Gavin glance at Nilam who still chose the dresses offered by the employee. Actually Nilam heard, but he acted as if he did not care.

"No, Anita and I haven't been together for a long time."

"Oh, really? Too bad. Though you guys are very suitable," said Lusi regretted.

Success, the sentence made Nilam stop his activities. And Gavin quite understands the situation. Not wanting to make the chatter about Anita grow further, he pulled Nilam who was standing not far behind him. "Miss Lusi, meet Nilam, my future wife."

"Wuah, really? It's beautiful," she praised in amazement. "Hay, Miss Nilam," said the greeting she received from her hand.

This woman looks simple, her beautiful face is also very natural.

"H-hay." Nilam's stiff answer returned a helping hand from Lusi's hand.

"You're really pretty, Miss."

"Thank you." Nilam's sincere smile made Lusi even more interested.

"Umm, by the way, what are you looking for?"

"Oh, here, I'm looking for a simple dress for her." Gavin set his sights on Nilam.

"Oh really? Okay, let me choose," said Luci. "Nuni, you take care of the other customers. Miss Nilam's dress let me take care of it," she asked the clerk.

"Good, Miss."

Some time later ....

Lusi and Nilam just came out of the dressing room. And look Nilam with a white Shift dress with lace inline accents on the short sleeves. "How about Mr. Gavin, it's so pretty, isn't it?"

Gavin, who was busy with a cell phone in his hand, instantly turned away in astonishment. "Yes, Miss, very pretty." Assessment of Gavin's synchronous eyes and mind.

"I've guessed you'll like it." Lusi smiled proudly.

"Alright Miss Lusi, thank you very much. Me and Nilam should leave immediately."

"Umm .. a pity, when I would love to invite you to drink coffee for a moment."

"I'm sorry, Miss. Next time we will do it. For now we really can blum."

"All right, I'll wait. Oiya, when are you planning on getting married?"

"I'll call you soon. To be sure, prepare the most beautiful wedding dress for my future wife." Gavin smiled with his arm around his shoulder.

"Definitely! I'm gonna make the most perfect design for this lovely lady."

"Thank you, Miss. For payment, as usual."

Susi raised her palm with her index finger and thumb made circular. "okay."

"Thank you, Miss." Nilam's sincere speech greeted Lusi's sweet smile. "Yes, Miss Nilam Darling. Come here often."

"Yes, Miss."

****

After taking almost 35 minutes, Gavin's car finally stopped in front of his mansion. He went out first and opened the door for his love. "Come, Honey. Looks like Papa's already inside."

With doubt Nilam received Gavin's hand. "Gav .. are you sure your parents will accept me?" tanyanya wasn't sure.

Gavin turned his head, "I'll make sure of that," he replied convincingly. Started to spread the door that looks luxurious. With a certain step, he embraces Nilam's shoulders, leading his steps until both of them arrive in a family room.

There was Briana and a man in his 50s who was none other than Gerry Pradana, Gavin's father. Both of them were sitting on a sofa.

"Ma ... Ma ...." Removing his embrace on Nilam's shoulder, then approaching the two important people in his life. Smell at their right and left cheeks they take turns.

Briana straightened her unreadable gaze towards Nilam. She looked at the girl from top to bottom. Well-favoured. Then smile.

"Jagoan .. long time no see." The hug, accompanied by a subtle pat on Gavin's shoulder, showed markedly that a father was very much in love with the child. Busy take care of one of his companies in Germany, making Gerry do not have much time for his children and wife.

"Yes, Pa. Papa's too busy. Be the mother and child of this abandoned," joked Gavin.

"You are .. Everything Papa did for both of you" Gerry said. A moment later his face was directed straight at Nilam who was still standing in his place. "She .. is she a future wife who your Mama says is?"

Smile at Gavin while walking towards Nilam. "Yes, Pa. Name's Nilam. She's pretty, right?"

"Very," Gerry's honest answer. "Why are you still standing? Sit down, son," she asked.

After preparing to throw away all his fears, Nilam began to step closer to Gerry and Briana. Bending his body slightly greeted the two Gavin parents in turn. "How are you, sir, Madam?" the sweep was accompanied by a friendly smile.

"Hey, why call you sir? Call Papa, just like Gavin." Garry smiled.

"What?" Indeed, beyond Nilam's expectations, Gerry is more well-come than Briana who is arrogant.

Gavin smiled, leading Nilam to sit on the sofa opposite his parents. "Yes, Honey. Isn't that a better call." Support for papa's statement.

A stiff smile was placed on his face. For a moment he glanced at Briana who was still with her flat expression. I don't know what's on the middle-aged woman's head right now. "Is that not excessive?" ask Nilam to doubt.

"Why? Do you mind calling me Papa?"

Nilam shook his head quickly. "No, not at all. It's just .. I feel unworthy." Down face.

"Darling ...." Gavin. "Don't keep putting yourself in an unworthy position. You're amazing, you're perfect" Gavin said.

Gerry smiled.

This girl is so attractive. You're very good at picking women, Gav.

"But ...."

"Call me Papa. There is no buts!" A stern voice did not want to be denied, out of Gerry's mouth. "Call him too ... Mama."

"What?!"

Briana and Nilam both flinched. Look at each other, then throw away each other simultaneously.

Oguhaii ....

Seriate....
