From Duren Down To The Heart
Chapter 28. Goodbye, Goodbye Fruit soup

When I saw the hostess coming from behind the fence, I immediately approached her and also regretted it. I respect him a lot, because he was so kind, and always treated me like his own son.

"where did my mom come home?"

"mother from the supermarket, buying food stocks that are dwindling." she replied with a smile. "uh, that's.. who?" he asked when he saw Keanu who was sitting on the terrace chair.

"i'm sorry, ma'am, I invited my boyfriend to come here. She drove me home, and she said she wanted to talk about something important, so I just had her sit on the porch."

"it's okay if only on the terrace, this is an open place, it will not make people misunderstand and think the no-no."

"thank you mom.."

"same-same."

We both walked towards the terrace, and I introduced Keanu to her.

"this is Keanu ma'am, my friend."

"your friend is very handsome" he said with a smile, then thrust his hand. "mother is the hostess here."

But Keanu looked at me with a dislike look. Is there something wrong with what I said, or what?

"sorry ma'am, I'm actually her future husband Clara, not just her friend" she said, shaking the hostess' hand and glancing at me coldly.

Ihh.. What the fuck is that? He hasn't even proposed to me officially. And the reason I mentioned that if Keanu was my friend, it was because it would be simpler, and I actually avoided a lot of questions from the hostess later. He was chatty, but he loved me very much, and it was probably for that reason that I became more comfortable living apart from Mama, because she was like my own mother.

"oh..why didn't Clara tell me mom? Clara wants to get married?"

I just smiled at the hostess' question.

"yeah, you guys continue to talk, yes, mom comes in first."

Me and Keanu nodded. "yes, please ma'am..

"hey.. Why did you tell the hostess that I was just your friend?" he said, after the hostess passed.

Why did his expression and manner of speech turn out like this? Now he looks like a little boy who is protesting because his pocket money is reduced. Haha..She looks so adorable.

I laughed. "you're craving?"

"it was not an answer, it was a sneer" he said, with a face that was still pouting.

"uhh Mas. You have not formally proposed to me. So how can I introduce you as my future husband?"

Keanu took my hand and was about to take me towards the gate. "where are you going to take me?" ask me with a curious look and stop our steps.

"we bought a ring! I'll propose to you right now!"

I laughed again. "do you want to propose to me in an impromptu way like this?"

He seemed to be thinking, still with a serious expression. But somehow, I think she looks cute and cute in this situation.

"ah.h right too! Alright.." she let go of my hand. "my and Mama will soon be preparing for our engagement."

I stumped my laughter.

"Hey! Why do you keep laughing like that? I was angry, not joking."

I wanted to laugh more and more at his words. So her anger is like that? Why does that make her even more cute? Haha.

"look at your expression..! Your face is like a child who is not given pocket money, you know?" I laughed again. "then the way you get angry, I will often make you angry, because your expression looks funny Mas..!"

It makes me nervous. And I'm afraid he'll be really angry.

"sorry, I'm just kidding." I said, looking down.

But she smiled instead now. "me too.." she raised my chin so I could look at her. "i can't get mad at you." her voice sounded so soft, and it fascinated me so much.

I looked at her smile so sweet, and it washed me away. I really feel happiness, even if only in such a simple way.

Ahhe..

I think I've found a complement to my life, it's been a lot of fun.

****

I didn't go to sell today. Because my mom asked me to come home.

This time I did not protest, and chose to immediately clean up my things from here.

Last night, after Keanu came home from my boarding house, Mama called me and talked about everything I had to do with Aunt Riana. They planned to immediately prepare for my engagement to Keanu.

I feel like this is too fast. But the parents always say that it is not good if we linger, and should immediately formalize the relationship. Now between me and Keanu, no one is going to refuse that match.

He said, the sooner the better.

Actually, my feelings are a little heavy leaving the cost and also my sales. Moreover, at that time I rented a place to sell for one year. But now, not even the 2 months I had occupied it, I had to leave it.

I sat down on the edge of the bed and stared around my hostel, waiting for the pickup car sent by Mama.

I was going to book a taxi online, so it wasn't too much trouble, because the driver who was going to pick me up was taking my Papa to the office. But Mama forbade me, and asked me to wait for Mr. David.

I'm starting to live here, and I'm happy to feel this way. Where I can take responsibility even for myself.

My heart is heavy, but I can't be selfish. I cannot impose my own will, for I know that this is my best path. My parents only wanted my happiness, nothing more. And I who have mature enough is beginning to understand what I have to face.

Tok tok tok tok

I was aghast and awoke from the daydream when I heard a knock behind the door, and opened it immediately.

"uh, Mr. David." I said hello when I saw my family's driver coming.

"are you ready, Non? Where are the items that will be brought?"

Me and Mr. Leaf took all my stuff into the trunk of the car, and we left immediately after I said goodbye to the hostess.

Oh, yep! Earlier, when I was going to meet the hostess for a break, I also met Nadia there. He still had a look of annoyance on his face. But I don't care. Let it be if he chooses to antagonize me like this. I don't feel like taking Keanu away from him.

And that's what Keanu said. I don't need to feel guilty, because it was fate that brought us together, not just desire from our hearts.

I took a deep breath, then exhaled.

Huh.. It's time for me to leave.

I returned to my eyes when I was about to get into the car. I will always miss this place..

Good bye to my hostel..
