Marrying a Classmate
Ch. 81: Meeting Accidentally
Out of the jewelry store with a small paper bag in hand, Myria was still so heavy receiving Angkasa's gift. A few breaths slowly came out of her sweet lips.
“Ka, already magrib, nih.”
Space stopped, then pulled the phone out of the hodie's pocket. “Iya. Find musala keep praying new bentar eat.”
“We don't have dinner at home, Ka?”
“Neg. I sent Mama a message when we played.”
No longer debating the decision of Angkasa, Myria headed to the musala and had to carry out the obligation immediately.
Finished with the affairs of worship, two lovebirds who spent the afternoon the two are now moving places again. On the fourth floor, the place where the food vendor area gathered, Angkasa invited Myria to fill her stomach. The guy almost turned himself into a pretty fancy restaurant, but Myria pulled him to sit somewhere else and buy food from the lined stands.
White rice and fried chicken became Myria's choice. In addition to never fussing about food, the girl did not want to spend more Space money. The future of both is still long, Myria thought how good money would be saved.
“We haven't had a shower yet.” Just as the butt landed on the chair, Myria chapped.
Space laughs in response. “That important still scented.”
“Iya, fragrance. You if you wear a bottle of perfume.”
Anxious with Myria's words, Angkasa pulled the wife's head and directed at her as if about to devour. Myria was just laughing.
The two men kept joking while eating. Occasionally Angkasa offers other food for extra, but Myria refuses. However, finally, the guy stood up after his rice ran out. He went back to one of the ice cream stands.
While waiting for Angkasa in the seat, Myria was approached by someone. The girl turned her face away and found two men already nearby.
“Dad?” Myria stood up and hugged. He kissed the hand and asked Mr. Tirta to sit down. “Daddy why can it be here?”
“Continue meeting clients. Dad usually meets at an outside restaurant, but don't know why the client this time asked inside the mall. You alone, Son?”
“Not, Dad. I'm the same Kasa.” A few weeks had passed and every day chatting by phone, Myria was no longer awkward when dealing with Mr. Tirta. He is so flexible in dangling sentence by sentence like when writing.
Hearing the name, Mr. Tirta's forehead shriveled. Some questions that have not been asked are now sticking to the surface. The 48-year-old man certainly wondered why his daughter was that close to one young man named Angkasa.
“From yesterday, I always wanted to ask you. Why do you look so close to that young man?”
His faded face, Myria swallowed her hard-earned saliva. The beige veiled girl forgot to explain who Space really is.
Daniel's phone fell out of hand upon hearing Myria's confession. The man was shocked like Mr. Tirta. He approached his boss who was rubbing his chest.
“I bought water, Mr.” Unrequested, Daniel leaves immediately. Of course he was sensitive to the condition of the boss who was very shocked.
Myria approaching. “Dad, sorry. I always forget to say. The story is also long, later if Dad has time to listen, I promise you everything.”
“Tell now.” Not a trivial matter, of course Mr. Tirta wanted to know Myria's life all along. The man eventually talks to Daniel to cancel one more meeting.
“Dad, no need to cancel the job. I can tell you sometime, Dad.”
Mr. Tirta nodded in disagreement. “No, Son. I've lost a lot of time with you. Now I've found you. I don't want to waste this all.”
Mr. Tirta's request seemed sincere, Myria finally agreed and was about to explain one by one.
However, not yet had time to tell the story, Angkasa has arrived with two cups of ice cream. The young man hurriedly put down to the table and immediately greeted Mr. Tirta and Daniel. He also glanced at Myria as if asking why Mr. Tirta was suddenly there.
“So you're my son-in-law, Young Man?”
The question of Mr. Tirta as if the sand that hoards up to make the Space crowded. The young man stammered in reply, “I–iya, Mr.” After answering, Space's eyes turned to Myria for an explanation. However, his wife just folded her lips with a sad look.
Mr. Tirta sighed. Once again he gulped down the mineral water that Daniel had bought. “Tell me everything from the beginning so I can understand. Why are you guys still in school getting married like this? Where have you been living all this time? I saw the time at the restaurant yesterday, you guys were picked up by car.”
“That, car mother-in-law, Yah.” Myria began to tell stories from the beginning to the end of her life with Angkasa. About all the things one has to deal with during his own life.
Mr. Tirta involuntarily shed tears hearing his daughter's story. He stood up and pulled Myria into a hug. “I'm sorry Dad, Son. Excuse me. You shouldn't have lived that hard.”
“Daddy, everything is fine. There's Kasa who always helps me.” Still in Mr. Tirta's arms, Myria looked up. He smiled and drowned himself. “Dad not to worry. I am not sad anymore.”
The man in the neat suit rubbed his daughter's head. Mr. Tirta wanted to turn the clock around if he could to make Myria and Mrs Kinara happy. “Sometimes, take Dad to see these two Space parents.”
