Love Different Country
Introduced to the parents

"Fiancee? you got an ex-fiancee?" chika chirps while looking intently at Edward.

Edward's face turned pale, because the man never told Chika about Cathleen.

"Why are you quiet, Edward?" Chika calls Edward's name without any more frills.

Jordan immediately scratched his head that was not itchy at all. The man felt really guilty that he had turned the once peaceful atmosphere into a tense atmosphere between Chika and Jordan.

"You're silent, which means what Jordan said is true. I'm disappointed in you" Chika quickly walked away from the others.

"It's all because of you!" swear Edward to Jordan, while running after the lover.

"Darling, don't be angry dong! Cathleen was neither my ex-lover nor my ex-fiancee, because we were never engaged at all" Edward tried to align his steps with Chika's.

Chika suddenly stopped her steps, and turned to look at Edward who was looking at her with a sad look.

"Never been engaged? but the word ...." Chika pointed towards Jordan who was still chatting with Kendrick and Naura, as well as David and Tasya.

"Me and Cathleen were once betrothed, because she was the daughter of my papa's best friend. But I never loved her at all so I balked at the matchmaking. Fortunately Cathleen was willing to understand, and she ended up talking to her father to cancel the match. So, she and I never got engaged, baby," explained Edward at length, without pause hoping Chika believed.

Chika closed her eyes at a glance and again swung her foot forward, with a step that this time was not as fast as before. The woman's breath looked heavy as if she was being overpowered by a very heavy burden

"Dear why are you silent? don't you trust me?" Edward returns after Chika's steps with a frustrated look.

"I don't not trust you. Now I don't believe in myself?"sahut Chika ambigu.

"meaning?" edward's brows were furrowed, making the man's face wrinkled when he heard the words of the woman he loved.

"Ed, when you don't understand what I mean? how can I believe in myself, while I know that your parents want another girl to be his daughter-in-law? what else as you said earlier, if the woman chose to retreat. That means she's an unselfish woman. Your parents must really like it," Chika's tone of voice sounded soft and her countenance was also very sad.

Edward immediately smiled, understanding what his lover was feeling now.

"You should never think like that. Mama had wanted Cathleen to be her daughter-in-law, but my mother never forced me to agree to the match. She still listened to her son's decision. My mother asked me to take you home and introduce you to her. I was gonna tell you this, later after college. I'm taking you home tonight, aren't you?"

Chika sontak. Now the woman is confused between refusing or agreeing. Because now there is a fear that arises in his heart, fearing that Edward's parents will not like it later, considering that it turns out that Edward is from a noble family.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Why you?" edward asked, realizing that it seemed Chika was uncomfortable when the car he was driving stopped in front of a very luxurious house.

Yes, after being quite content to fight with his heart, Chika was finally willing to be brought by Edward to be introduced to the two men's parents.

"Honey, I'm really scared that your parents won't accept me. I was afraid that I would not live up to their expectations," Chika finally ventured to express her concerns.

"You take it easy, I will always be with you. I'm sure everything you're worried about won't happen. My mom's not a selfish parent. They must have supported her son's choice especially if it was happiness for me" Edward's tone was so gentle, trying to provide comfort for Chika.

Chika looked into Edward's eyes deeply. The woman suddenly slipped a smile on her lips and nodded her head. "Yes, I believe in what you say. Hopefully what you say is true" the woman concluded, steadily.

"Well, that's dong. Let's go in!" Edward handed his hand to be held by Chika. Seeing that, Chika smiled and directly hooked her hand into Edward's hand. Then the two of them walked in with definite steps.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Chika's fear really didn't happen. The woman was truly welcomed with pleasure and enthusiasm by Edward's parents. They even repeatedly praised Chika to make Chika really comfortable in the middle of the family.

"It's just right that Edward fell in love with you. Turns out you're this pretty," praised Edward's mother at the time, making herself blush in shame.

"Oh yeah, Auntie doesn't know your favorite food. Bibi had brought in a chef from Indonesia to cook food from there." said her mother Edward made Chika feel that her arrival was really very desirable. The woman immediately felt regretful that she had been worried and prejudiced before.

"Oh, Auntie shouldn't have to be like that. Because I also like English food," said Chika, who in addition to feeling wanted, also felt bad because it was troublesome mama Edward.

"Oh, Auntie doesn't feel bothered at all, honey. Let's go to the dinner table. We'll have dinner together

You must be hungry, right? after all, Indonesian food, from its appearance it looks good. Aunty was really curious how it felt, "the middle-aged woman unhesitatingly held Chika's hand and took her son's lover to the dinner table.

"Ma, please don't take my lover!" edward's protest pretended to be upset by his mother's attitude that had never let Chika get away from him.

"What the hell? are you not satisfied, during the summer holidays it was always with Chika? so now it's my mother's turn" her mother Edward said with a cynical look.

"I will never be satisfied, and I want to always be with him, Ma. So there is no boredom" said Edward.

"Then my mom is going to Indonesia, I'm going to wave Chika for you!"

Chika and Edward's eyes suddenly grew bigger to hear the words that had just been thrown from the middle-aged woman's mouth.

"M-Mama, is Mama serious?" edward's voice rang out in shock.

"Do you think Mom is joking? Mama is really serious" said Edward's mother firmly. Then the middle-aged woman turned her gaze to Chika who was still unable to escape her shock.

"How about Chika, you don't mind getting married as soon as possible to Edward? you take it easy, you'll still be able to continue your studies until you're done,"

Chika is unmoved, unable to answer her mother Edward's question, as she is still not very ready to get married.

In another place the same thing happened to Tasya who also happened to be introduced by David to his parents. Tasya's cheerful and funny nature immediately made David's parents immediately like the noisy woman. Feeling that with the presence of Tasya makes the atmosphere cheerful.
