Grabbing Dreams
Chapter 37 PACK

The atmosphere of the living room became silent after Galih told all that Reino had said. Mr. Dibyo leaned against the back of the sofa, stroking his beard that had been mixed with gray.

"So Kanaya already has a boyfriend? Then what do you think? Are we just backing out?"

Galih.

"What did you say? I'm not going to back off, sir!"

Mr. Dibyo took a deep breath. Indeed, he was happy because the match between Galih and Kanaya would further strengthen his friendship with Pak Karno. However, if this compromises Kanaya's own feelings, he does not have the heart.

"But le, don't you feel sorry for Kanaya? He already loves someone else."

Galih grunted in annoyance. The death of the cigarette that just burned half. He did not expect his father to think so.

"I'm sorry I disagree with you. Kanaya could have refused to be betrothed to me yesterday. But the truth is he accepted it, right? That means I still have a chance to take his heart."

"As far as you can. But remember never to hurt Kanaya. His father believed in you very much. Think carefully." advised Mr. Dibyo finally, succumbing to the stubbornness of his son.

Mr. Dibyo left Galih alone in the living room. He wanted his son to be able to think clearly in response to this matter.

...****...

Kanaya was stuffing her clothes into the suitcase when the sound of the car stopped in front of the house. He peeked out of the window of the room which happened to be facing towards the front yard.

"Assalamualaikum." Reino's voice was clearly heard all the way into the house.

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

The mother walked out of the kitchen to open the door.

"Sorry, ma'am, is Kanaya there?" greet Reino kindly while handing over a paper bag to him.

"She, son. Let's go in. Let me call Nay first. He's packing because tomorrow he has to go back to Jakarta."

Before the mother entered, Kanaya had already come out of her room.

"Mas, Reino.." said Kanaya when she found the man watching an old photo on the wall of the living room carefully.

"Who is this?" reino asked while pointing at a photo of a girl in a blue white uniform.

"I'm mas. Why indeed?"

Reino smelled a smile. For a moment he watched Kanaya standing before him, from head to toe. His smile turned into a naughty laugh. While half-whispering Reino said something in Kanaya's ear.

"You used to be very excited apparently."

Kanaya pouting. He looked back at the old photo. The body is not too high and the body is slightly filled to make Kanaya look round.

"Biariiin." was upset that Reino laughed at him.

Kanaya sits at the end of the sofa while Reino takes a seat opposite the girl.

"Bag,"

"Yes, honey?"

Kanaya glared at hearing Reino speak like that. The index finger rested in front of his lips to warn Reino.

"Sstt.there gaffer, mas. Don't talk about it!" kanaya Protest.

"So if there is no father can still call 'honey'??"

Kanaya increasingly glared in response to Reino's childish behavior.

Reino stepped onto the sofa and sat down. Kanaya noticed that the man's facial features had changed.

"I met Galih at his house."

"Whataa? What are you doing mas? You know the consequences, right?"

Reino glanced at Pak Karno's room. I was worried he was out of the room suddenly.

"You calm down, baby. I know what I'm doing. I won't let Galih have you. I'm not willing."

Kanaya scratched her dizzy forehead. This problem is so weird. He himself did not know what to do. What is clear, his status is now the future wife of Galih even though in his heart he did not want to accept it.

"Son, Reino?" a voice surprised both.

"Yes, sir. Sorry distracting. I just want to know what Kanaya is tomorrow so go home to Jakarta. If it's going home let's go with me sir."

"Well, it's good that there's a traveling companion. Please take care of Kanaya."

"Good, sir."

Soon Kanaya's mother calls her husband, telling him there's a phone call for her.

"Who's calling mom?" kanaya asked in curiosity.

The mother did not immediately answer Kanaya's question. He turned to look at Reino with an uneasy look.

"Da..from Galih, nduk" he answered.

Reino took a deep breath, recalling his mouth-to-mouth with the man.

What's he calling Mr Karno?? Does he complain?? You wimp!!

Mr. Karno returned to the living room after receiving a call from Galih.

"Sir, that was a call from Galih. He said something that surprised me,"

Reino, Kanaya and the mother look at each other waiting for the continuation of the words of Mr. Karno who is still hanging.

"What's wrong sir make me curious." said Kanaya's mother impatient.

"Looks like your return has to be postponed, nduk. Galih wants you to marry first religiously, then you return to Jakarta."

Married married??? What kind of joke is this??? You're a fucking gaham!! reino's curse in the heart.

"Married?? But why the sudden, sir? Can we talk about it first? Kanaya's life is over." the mother tried to thwart Galih's unilateral wishes.

Mr. Karno took a deep breath. It is true what his wife said. The engagement between Kanaya and Galih was only held yesterday. According to him, they should still be given time to get to know each other's nature and personal.

Meanwhile Kanaya's face looked anxious. He squeezed the end of his shirt. Honestly, he did not want to marry Galih. With a parched face he looked at Reino for the support of the man.

Be patient baby, I won't let you fall into Galih's arms. Hmh! I'm not going to.

"Alright, nduk. I'll talk to Mr. Dibyo."

"Thank you, sir." said Kanaya thankfully.

"Mom, I want to go out for a while to Dibyo's house. Please call Misdi." pinta pak Karno asked to be called by his regular taxi driver who faithfully deliver him wherever he goes.

"Let me drop off, sir. I brought the car." said Reino volunteered.

Finally Reino was the one who drove Mr. Karno to the house of Mr. Dibyo to negotiate the marriage problems of their children.
