Love Under the Clock
29. When to Get Married

Joshua went inside the house while watching the business card given by Hayati.

''I really want to know his phone number, '' Joshua muttered.

''Ekhmm'' Dion cleared his throat loudly making Joshua shocked.

''Brother Dion'' said Joshua smiling and sitting on one of the couches.

''What do you see?'' ask Dion flat.

''Oo it's a business card'' Joshua replied quickly.

''What name card?'' ask Dion.

''Bundo's restaurant name card. I got from Hayati the girl that you saw fitting into the gate earlier, said Joshua.

Actually Dion saw Joshua with Hayati not just fit in. He started to see Hayati whispering something into Joshua's ear and they both laughed. Dion doesn't like to see it.

''Why is he here?'' ask Dion.

''I mean Brother Dion, Hayati?'' Joshua was astonished that Dion asked Hayati. All this time Dion was kind of cute with his surroundings.

''Yes who else. You know him?'' ask Dion.

''You guys look so familiar, ''' he continued.

''Hmm, just know the name of sis'' Joshua replied. He remembered the meaning of knowing the Hayati version.

'' I met him last night on the street when he was going to the restaurant where we promised. As I passed by he was being picked up by some thugs. Coincidentally at that time the motorcycle tire also deflated. So I helped him, Joshua explained. Although somewhat surprised to hear Joshua's explanation. Dion was calm and did not respond to him.

''The baby brother with such a small body he pushed his bike night and night. Plus there's a thug that ganguin him. At first I thought he was still in school and on vacation in Jakarta. It turns out that he works at a restaurant and met here because he was delivering rice orders oma. That little boy has been working I became sympathetic, Joshua continued.

''What a little boy. If Joshua knows how chatty and annoying he is, Dion's inner self.

'' Ooo'' said Dion lazy.

''But it irritates me a little. He just kept calling me. Even if he is only seven dozen or less. But my face is not very old until it is called om'' said Joshua. Dion pulled the corner of his lips up.

''Pftt you're wrong Jo. His age is not much different from yours'' Inner Dion.

''But she's an attractive girl I want to know her better. I go out to eat at her place. Let it be close, said Joshua.

''Can't'' said Dion firmly.

''Can't why brother?'' asked Joshua astonished

''Anyway you should not get close to the girl just now'' Dion replied seriously.

''Why?'' joshua asked, not understanding.

''Don't ask too many questions. Just say me. I don't think he's a good person for you'' said Dion.

''Brother Dion don't just judge people. Did Dion know him?'' ask Joshua. Dion remained silent. All he knew was that every time they met Hayati they would have a fight. There's no way he's telling Joshua.

''You were in my office?'' dion's question diverted the conversation.

''So I have waited a long time. Because Brother Dion did not come, I decided to come here, Joshua replied.

''Hmm, I had a job at the mall, '' said Dion.

''I know, aunty said that, Joshua said.

''While waiting for the approval of cooperation from investors, oh yes, my investors from abroad want to come here. He also brought his wife. And he asks us to accompany him by bringing a companion so that his wife has friends to chat, Joshua replied.

''Do you still have a companion? When will they come?'' ask Dion.

''Don't know who to bring. Brother knows I'm a real singles. He said two more weeks, Joshua replied.

''Why don't you just bring your secretary?'' Ask Dion.

''She is very pregnant, sister. Not allowed to be carried. Especially next week she will be on maternity leave, replied Joshua.

''Anyway I don't care who you want to bring as your escort. What is clear is that our cooperation this time must run smoothly said Dion.

''Brother must have come with Jessy huh?'' ask Joshua.

''Yes'' Dion replied casually.

''When are you going to ask Jessy about your marriage?'' ask oma suddenly.

''Oma, this job has nothing to do with my marriage problems with Jessy'' Dion replied.

''It has nothing to do with. The oma asked when you will marry that'' said oma to sit there.

''Which oma you say is true Dion. If you don't want to ask, just bring Jessy here. Let mama ask''' Nila come sit next to Ima Yenti. Dion rubbed his face. The work he discussed with Joshua came to a standstill.

''Why silence?'' ask Oma.

''Not that oma, it's just that in the near future Jessy is still busy Dion replied.

''Busy? Can't being the wife of a Dion Aditama stop her busy life? after she becomes your wife she also doesn't need to work anymore. Or from the beginning he did not intend to marry you?'' ask Oma.

''Actually Jessy in the near future wants to go to Paris oma. He plans to continue his studies there again, replied Dion quietly.

''Huft, keep waiting?'' tanya Oma started to get angry. Diom. Joshua also did not want to participate in the talks. He just listened.

''You are not young anymore. If he went to college in Paris. When are you getting married? You better decide him and find another woman who wants to marry you, said Oma firmly.

''But oma, Dion loves Jessy very much. Dion couldn't possibly break up with him'' Dion protested.

''I just don't want to know. You ask him again. If he still doesn't want to get married and go to Paris. Oma will find you a mate. And you must not reject it, said Oma Yenti firmly. Dion could not argue anymore.

''I'll talk to Jessy again, ''' she replied.

''You know I only want the best for you. And oma wants before dying to be able to see your child' said softly oma Yenti.

''Then between the mama in the room'' continued again while standing. Nila quickly held onto Oma Yenti's hand and escorted her into the room.

''Huft'' Dion sighed. He rubbed his face rough. He felt very upset now with the choices his omens gave him.

''Sorry, brother. Are you sure you let Jessy go to college again in Paris?'' ask Joshua.

''How can I ban it. Because he wanted to be a famous designer. And it was all his dream from long ago, replied Dion.

''But I think the word oma has a point. My brother is now twenty-eight years old. If Jessy took college for one more year, not necessarily she wanted to get married immediately after college. There will definitely be another reason if it is from Jessy's own heart is not ready to marry Dion''s brother, said Joshua.

''Come on, now my head is dizzy thinking about it. After all we as men over thirty years of marriage are still including fast for today''

''According to Brother Dion, oma can wait that long?'' ask Joshua.

''Don't know. I don't want to mind either. Because later oma can get sick if you think too much, Dion replied. They were silent and dissolved in each other's minds.
