Love In The Throne
Guests Not Invited

Tonight Nanda deliberately busied himself with a pile of books complete with a mountain of campus assignments. Nanda wants to focus on her college. He was determined to finish his medical school on time. Whatever happens, he must be able to make it through the stages of his studies.

He glimpsed his cell phone lying on the table. Phone's vibrating.

"Mother Calling..."

A faint smile fell on his thin lips. Without a second thought, he grabbed the phone and pressed the green button.

[Hello Mother.].

[Honey... What are you doing? Is mom bothering you, son?]

[No mom, Nanda is not busy. Just cleaning up the room. Mother.. What's up?] Nanda deliberately lied so that her mother would not worry.

[There's nothing. I just miss you. When are you going to visit my mother's house again? You haven't been to visit mom and dad for a long time]

[Sorry Nanda yes Mom. Nanda hasn't been able to visit my mother. Later if Nanda has time, Nanda must go home to visit mother. Oia, mom and dad how are you?]

[We're both good. Mom and Dad are healthy too. Mom feels really good now. You can already shop to the supermarket without excessive fatigue]

[Thank God you're better off. Nanda was very happy to hear it]

[Darling, if you haven't been able to visit mom, how about mom and dad just come to your house? Hows it? Can ya? I'd love to see where you live Nanda]

[Mother... Excuse me. Nanda can't decide whether or not. This is Alvin's house. Nanda has to get permission with him]

[This mother is not her mother-in-law, yes, she did not allow mother and father to come to visit?]

[It's not so, Mom. Nanda just feels bad if not permission first. Later Nanda tell me again ma'am]

[Yes, that's it then. Have you eaten tonight?]

[Already. Nanda has eaten]

[You take care of your health, son. Don't make your mom and dad worry here]

[Yes mother... Mom and Dad too, take good care of your health. Mom and Dad should always be happy. Can't be late for a meal, okay?]

[Haha... Yes.iya mother understood. Yes, you continue your work. Remember not to sleep at night]

[Mother too yes... Take care of your mother's health. Greetings to dad]

Phone connection disconnected. Nanda took a long breath. He was relieved by the condition of his parents who were fine. Nanda again continued to submerge himself into his lectures and thick books.

The wall clock already showed at half ten in the evening. Nanda's eyes were getting tired. Many times his mouth yawned as a sign that he was getting tired and sleepy. Some of the college work is done. There are still college assignments that he cannot finish because he has not found the right answer material. After all, the collection time is still two days away. Can still be done tomorrow.

Nanda tidied his books neatly arranged them on his study table. After cleaning himself up in the bathroom, Nanda rushed to grab his thick blanket and hid inside.

Nanda's eyes opened again when her ears heard clearly the sound of the house bell ringing out loud. Nanda thought hard about who was behind the door that was pressing the bell. Is it possible that Evan came? What's he coming for? It's already night after all. Has he gone crazy looking for a commotion in the middle of the night at people's homes?

With high anxiety and vigilance, Nanda finally ventured out of the room to open the door of the living room. And without her guessing, it turns out Alvin also came down to the bottom intending to open the door. Nanda and Alvin both show curious faces and do not know who the uninvited guests who come to their house at night.

"You ordered some food?" ask Nanda to make sure.

"No?" alvin answered with conviction.

The doorbell rings back. Nanda peeked aloud from the small camera attached to the door. How surprised he was when his eyes saw the figure of his two in-laws who were already standing at the door of their house.

"Mas... Your parents are coming" Nanda said, pointing to the door.

"Whataa??" Alvin also seemed shocked to not believe the sentence Nanda said.

"How is this???" ask Nanda to panic.

"Yes, open it!!"

"Ma..Mama-in-law? Pa..Papa's..." Nanda stammered in greeting her two in-laws. His tongue seemed to welcome his sudden arrival.

"Can we come in?" desiana said with her cold face.

"L-yes... Please..." Desiana and her husband entered Alvin's house. Desiana's eyes were staring at the whole side of Alvin's house. While nodding, Desiana with her haughty steps walked into Alvin's quite large living room.

"Mama... Papa?? Tumben once you guys come? Why do nights like this come? Is there anything important?" greet Alvin with a series of questions.

"I'm sorry if we came too suddenly. You don't mind us coming, do you?" desiana replied casually.

"Ma-mama, papa please sit down first. What do you want to drink? Nanda made it" Desiana smiled faintly welcoming the offer from her son-in-law. Nanda was very happy to see her mother-in-law smiling at her. Another case with Alvin who already understands the character of his mother. The smile her mother displayed was just a fake smile that was too forced.

"No need. We ate and drank" Desiana refused. Stay with the elegant style Desiana and husband sitting on the sofa in the middle room followed by Nanda and Alvin who also accompany sitting on the same sofa.

"Quick say what mama and papa mean night and night come here" said Alvin with a tone of dislike.

"Alviansin...!! Is this how you welcome the presence of mom and dad?Don't you like your mom and dad visiting your house? After all, you've been married four months. Shouldn't we have been to your house looking at the condition of your house?" Alvin breathed a heavy sigh in response to the words of his mother.

"Just tell me, there is a need for what mama night-night comes here. I understand my mom very well. Surely mama has a certain purpose" Desiana laughed lightly in response to Alvin's words.

"Hm... Alright. You are a real mama's son. Very understanding of my mother's wishes" Desiana tried to stay calm and relaxed.

"We'd like to stay at your house tonight, would you??" Alvin's mouth was slightly agape when with his father's words expressed the intent of his arrival. It felt a bit strange and awkward with the intentions of both parents.

"Whataa... Staying in?" said Alvin parroted.

"He-it... Can we join you in your house? Just one night, we happen to have time" Desiana said expectantly. Alvin was still silent in his position.

"Oia Nanda's... Here's Mama bringing you a health drink. This drink is very good to consume. The content of this drink is not just any content. This health drink can maintain the body's endurance well. Come on you drink. It tastes pretty good. My mom drinks too. One day just drink one bottle. This is mama bawain 10 bottles. Let mama put it in the fridge first..." Nanda quickly restrained her mother-in-law from bothering to put the bottle of drink she had brought into the refrigerator.

"No need to ma. Let Nanda enter later"

"Alright then" Desiana sat back on the sofa"

"It... Try it.." urged Desiana while giving a bottle of drink to Nanda. With half a hesitation Nanda accepted the grant of her mother-in-law status.

"Thank you ma"

"Let's drink it.." he urged again.

"L-yes... Nanda will drink later"

"Drink now. Mama wants to see if you like it or not" Nanda looked at Desiana with a suspicious look. The mother-in-law, who had been looking at him with one eye, suddenly came and paid great attention.

"Let's drink.... Why just shut up?!" Nanda looked slowly at Alvin. The look of doubt that asked for an opinion from Alvin whether he should follow the orders of his mother-in-law or not. But Alvin was also just silent without responding to the upset gaze of his status wife.

"That's it Ma, there's no need to force. Maybe Nanda does not want to taste the drink that you bring now" said Hadinata mediate.

"When my mom tried to pay attention to my daughter-in-law. But the reply was even like this" the cynical words of Desiana sadden made Nanda feel very bad and decided to drink the drink in order to please her mother-in-law status.

"Nanda cobain ya Ma" quickly Nanda opened the bottle cap and drank it straight away. At first Nanda just took a little sip. But because it tastes similar to sour and sweet yogurt drinks, Nanda's tongue seemed to ask again. And without the slightest suspicion, Nanda drank it to the end.

"Enak Ma's. Thank you yes... Nanda would drink it regularly later" a smile of satisfaction was painted on Desiana's face. An empty bottle in Nanda's hand makes him even more convinced that his rotten plan will be realized soon.

"Well, so dong... If given a fortune do not be rejected, pamali. Is it really pap?" Hadinata just nodded awkwardly. Alvin stared intently at the strange attitude displayed by his parents. Alvin smelled a strange scent here. The sudden arrival of his parents was definitely something they were hiding.

Nanda did not say. Just a small nod and a polite smile that he showed to his two in-laws.
