LIEGE
ABSURD

"Bun, tonight mas do not eat at home, yes" said Daffa while applying jam to his bread.

"Where are you going? Dinner with Erin?" ask Mira. There was a dislike in his voice.

"No bun. There was a little reunion with friends who were in London first."

"Correct?" Mira is still suspicious.

"Yes bun. If you don't believe it, you can call at eight o'clock tonight."

"Let it be, baby. Daffa is no longer a child. His age has wanted 30 years, you know," said Irwan who was busy staring at the gadget in his hand.

"But baby...."

"Believe in Daffa bun. If indeed Daffa wanted to have dinner with Erin, surely Daffa would have brought Erin here."

"Why is that?"

"Yes, let Erin learn to cook with mom. If Erin can cook, you won't reject her anymore, will you?"

"That's not why she refused him. But his past...."

"Honey, not a few humans who have a bad past. But many also manage to change for the better when they meet the right people."

"Bun, Daffa also has a past that can not be proud of" said Daffa quietly.

"Have you told Erina?" ask Irwan. This time he lifted his eyes off the gadget.

"Yet. Not time. We still have to convince ourselves that this is the right choice. We don't want this relationship to run aground like our old relationship."

"Mas, you heard Erin's ex a lot huh?"

"Yes. More than Daffa," replied Daffa casually.

"You don't mind? Maybe he's not virgin, considering his lifestyle." lamented Mira.

"Bun, don't be so prejudiced."

"It usually is, my mother."

"Erina is different bun. Daffa believes he is still virgin. What does Daffa need to prove?" god Daffa.

"What the hell are you?!" sergeant Mira was between shocked and upset. "Don't you freak out."

"Who knows you can accept Erin with open arms if you know in Erin's stomach there are future grandchildren mother."

"Oh..amit-amit! There's no story of our family descendants doing that."

"Mother forgets how wild Virgo is?" ask Daffa. He had finished his breakfast and was preparing to leave.

"Nobody gets pregnant. That's also because he lived in America. So too free," murmured Mira annoyed at the behavior of her nephew.

"That's dear. Daffa is mature enough to make his choice. Let Daffa try to have a relationship with Erin. Who knows if they're a good fit and could get married soon."

"But, how will our extended family respond if they know Erin's background."

"Bun, we're leaving first."

"What are you really worried about Erina? I think he's okay enough to be a son-in-law, although maybe his style is different from other women's. But it's not a big thing. After all, young people today are so," said Irwan after Daffa. "I am like that too. Even worse."

"But that, you're a man. She's a girl." Mira still expressed her objection.

"We'll see how far they go. We also try to be more open minded."

"Rin, I bete nih," complained Ardian when he came to Erina's office.

"Hmmm..."

"Rin, listen to me dong." Ardian shut down Erina's laptop.

"Di, what the hell? My job is a lot more. Daddy's waiting for this report."

"But I want to confide in you elo."

"OKAY. But let me finish this report first."

"This is a report from my men that I have to review. Be patient. About an hour."

"OK," Ardian agreed while grumbling. He stepped towards the mini bar in Erina's spacious room. "Rin, is it empty? Where's drinks?"

"Gue throw it away," replied Erina shortly.

"For what?"

"Gue again tried to stop drinking."

"Remanded Daffa?"

"No."

"Ah, don't believe it! Must be because of him. I'm sorry why you guys have to meet." This time Erina stopped her activities and looked at Ardian in surprise.

"Why is that? As a friend, I should be grateful that I want to change and move on from Zafran."

"Gue doesn't like it."

"WHY?!" This time Erina's tone of voice began to rise.

"Because he elo changed and moved away from me. Because of him I lost elo."

"What do you mean? You asked me to move on first. Elo also intends to match me with Daffa so that you can calmly establish a relationship with Giana. Why has your mind changed?" erina asked astonished at once annoyed.

"I should have accepted Raina's proposal to marry elo."

"Di, elo don't mabok right? Where did Ardian plan for Giana's marriage yesterday?"

"Gue and Giana broke up."

"Again?! Why?"

"For elo."

"Why does Elo always blame me every time I break up?" erina asked, not accepting.

"Gue thought that if I had a boyfriend and you were in a relationship with another man, I could not think of you anymore. I'm mistaken. I can't let go of my mind from Elo."

"Are you crazy?!"

"Gue is aware of Rin. I need elo. My life feels lame if there's no elo."

"Don't mess around, ah! You want to prank me, right? This feeling is not my birthday."

"Gue seriously, Rin." And indeed Ardian looks serious. "I've always been looking for a girlfriend who is the opposite of elo. But in fact without me realizing I always compare them with elo."

Erina could only be speechless hearing Ardian's words which she thought were absurd.

"Elo mabok's? Elo's feeling hasn't been drinking."

"Cancel your plans with Daffa."

"What do you mean? You expect us both to break up?" Ardian nodded seriously. "You're not funny! Going back instead of giving me a headache."

"Rin, I'm the only guy who can accept elo as it is. I'm the only one who won't demand that you change. You have to break up from Daffa. He's gonna change you."

"ARDIANS! What the hell elo? Please don't make my ugly nature appear." Erina looks to be starting to get inflamed. His hands clenched the sign he was holding back his emotions. "Dry elo out before I call security to pull you out of this room!"

"Rin, I'm serious! Will you marry me?" Ardian looked serious as he pleaded. "Gue will make you the happiest woman in the world."

"Sorry Di, whatever you say. I have no plans to break up from Daffa."

"What if he has a dark past?" chirps Ardian.

"What was the past like?" asked Erina curiously.

"He hasn't told elo? You should ask before you decide to marry him. When you decide to step down, remember I'll always be there for you."

Erina was bullied after Ardian. He hadn't thought too far about Daffa's past. How bad was her past so Ardian mentioned it, Erina asked in her heart.
