"Why should I not approve of their relationship, Um? is it because he's not Indonesian blood?" tanya Bayu was still in her usual tone of voice.
"I think you must have known the answer," said Surya with the corner of his eyes that still glanced at Kendrick.
Bayu took a breath and slipped a smile on his lips. "I don't mind that at all, Om. Especially for me and my wife, is the happiness of Naura. As long as Naura is happy I, yes we are welcome only. For the issue of Indonesian culture, Kendrick can learn and I am also sure that even if Naura marries an outsider, she will never forget her homeland" said Bayu at length.
Surya remained silent. The old man instantly felt that Bayu was subtly insinuating him.
"But, I think it feels different, Bayu. If I were you, I would rethink allowing Naura to establish relationships with people outside Indonesia. Moreover, Naura is your daughter and she is also the only one,"
Bayu smiled again in response to the old man's words. Don't forget, Jendri turned red.
"I believe in my son, Om. As a father I just want to see my daughter's happiness. If he calls out to be destined to be happy living together with an outside man, my job is just to pray for him to be happy. Not necessarily if he is a match with an Indonesian man, his life will be happy right? no one can guarantee it. I also just don't want to be a selfish father," Bayu's smile never faded as he said his words.
"Are you insinuating me?" Surya looked at Bayu with a very sharp gaze and a very cold tone.
"Oh, not at all, Om! I didn't mean it that way. I was just saying what I thought, to respond to Om's words," Bayu quickly denied, before the old man got angry.
"Grandfather, stop. I don't want to argue with Grandpa. But one that I make sure, if my love for this country will never decrease if I mate later with men outside Indonesia. Because for me, what makes us happy is not seen from his country but from his heart. As Papa said earlier, even Indonesian men can not guarantee that we will be happy," Naura who was just silent, now ventured to open her voice. The woman seemed to affirm that let her happiness business be her own business as the owner of the body.
Hearing Naura's words, Surya fell silent, while Kendrick smiled faintly.
"Oh yes, my lady is going to the back garden. Can you?" Naura showed back her cherry side to melt the tense atmosphere that had been created.
Naura immediately pulled Kendrick's hand to stand up after Surya nodded his head assenting.
"Come on, Ken we're going to the back! it feels good there!" naura said, of course, deliberately using English.
"Can I go with you two?" Kimberly opened her voice feeling uncomfortable when left alone.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Naura, Kendrick Kimberly landed their bodies sitting on an iron swing that felt very cool, because it was under a shady tree.
"Actually I feel bad to be between the two of you. I became a mosquito guard. But if it still lingers in there, the aura is not at all comfortable," Kimberly opened her voice.
Naura did not answer at all. The beautiful woman only smiled, as she could feel what her older brother Kendrick was feeling.
"It turns out, Surya's grandfather is as selfish as that? if none of you had tried to calm me down, maybe my anger would have exploded from earlier, "this time Kendrick who opened his voice.
"Can grandma join the three of you?" suddenly there was a voice of a woman who was none other than Daryanti.
The three men stood up and turned to the direction the voice came from.
"By dong, Grandma!" sahut Naura quickly.
Daryanti swung her foot over the three men and when standing right in front of Kendrick and Kimberly, without being able to hold back, the old woman immediately hugged the two men.
Kendrick and Kimberly looked at each other, with equally puzzled gazes.
"Da-where does Grandma know?" ask Kendrick stammering.
"I can feel it. I'm sure you two are my grandchildren. Aye right?"
Kendrick and Kimberly were both silent.
"I've seen your photos sent by Naura" Daryanti said again when she didn't hear her two grandchildren's voices.
Kendrick turned to Naura for an explanation. The woman he loved did not reply at all, but simply smiled while nodding her head, confirming Daryati's grandmother's words.
Daryanti broke her embrace and stared at Kimberly.
"You've been living in Indonesia for 3 years, but why have you never visited grandma at all?" daryanti protest.
Kimberly smiled, and hugged the old woman again. "Sorry, Grandma! if I come here, there must be a reason. If I confess to her daughter Mama Dewi, I'm sure I will be expelled immediately" Kimberly said.
Meanwhile, Kendrick's face looked pale and worried. And the change in face can be felt by Daryanti.
"You don't have to worry, I'm not like your selfish and stubborn grandfather. Grandma really has lost your favorite daughter because of the selfishness of your grandfather" said Daryanti who understands what Kendrick feels.
Kendrick exhaled a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Your mama how are you? he's okay right there? does he have no intention of going back to Indonesia again? does he not want to see his old mother and even at any time can be called by God at any time?" daryanti asked back in a row. The woman's tears from seeping out.
"Mama's fine, Grandma. My mom wanted to go back to this country. Grandma does not know, from childhood I always see mama crying if she remembers her homeland. But every time you ask her to come home, she always refuses because she says she doesn't have a home to go home to" Kendrick said.
"Your grandfather's words hurt your mother very much,"
"And I have also seen for myself the stone of grandfather's heart. Actually, if not for not keeping the feelings of Om Bayu and Aunt Nani, Ken would have vented Ken's anger earlier, Grandpa," said Kendrick with a red face.
"How did Grandma manage to survive with such grandfather nature?" Kendrick asked again.
"Your grandfather loved Grandma very much. He always spoils Grandma. Grandma also survived not only because of that, but Grandma always remembered our marriage promise so Grandma tried to survive. Your grandfather's fault is only one, although it is quite big, which is separating grandma from your mother. But Grandma was completely speechless to oppose your grandfather's decision. Even your uncles have tried to persuade you to accept your mother's marriage, but your grandfather's heart is really like a rock" explained Daryanti with eyes that returned to water.
"Ma, it turns out you're here? it's worth it that I'm looking around for nothing," suddenly the person they're talking about appears. Who else is he if not Surya. Yes, the old woman excused me for a moment with the reason of wanting to go to the toilet, but because he did not return long enough, Surya finally decided to look for his wife.
Daryanti wiped her tears, afraid of being discovered by her husband. However, what he did was already seen by Surya, thus making the old man suspicious.
"What's wrong? you seem to be crying? did anything hurt you and did these two make you cry?" Surya pointed towards Kendrick and Kimberly.
"Do not accuse. We didn't do anything to make Grandma cry" Kendrick said with a hardened jaw.
"You speak Indonesian?" surya's eyes looked enlarged, gasping in shock as soon as he heard Kendrick using Indonesian.
Meanwhile, Naura bit her lips, immediately felt afraid that - if Kendrik keceplosan say that he is the son of Aunt Goddess or grandson of Surya's grandfather itself.
