My Beloved Partner
175

Alex and Sandra arrived at her father's house a little late in the afternoon because it was a good distance from the city they live in now.

"Finally nyampe too" said Sandra. He stretched his stiff muscles because he sat too long in the car seat.

"Are you tired?" Ask Alex to Sandra.

"Not because I sleep on the way."

"Let's see your papa!" Alex takes his girlfriend down.

"It's as excited as a man who wants to...Oh no, does he want to ask for our relationship's blessing?" Guess Sandra. His face was red.

Alex walked first. He knocked on Vero's door, which was shut. "The man is not home" exclaimed one of the neighbors who passed by.

"Where's Sir?" Ask Sandra.

"Maybe it's in the garden just search there," pointed out the neighbor.

Then Sandra invites Alex to the garden that Vero manages. "Wow amaging, great green scenery." Alex was amazed by the beauty of the vegetable garden neatly arranged. Thanks to his father's success now, Vero bought several plots of land and planted them with various vegetables.

"It looks like I'm going to stay here" Alex said. Sandra commented a smile.

"Papa," call Sandra when she sees Vero from a distance.

Vero. He commented a big smile on his face when he saw the princess who was in his vegetable plantation.

"Have you come home, son?" Vero asked Sandra after he was nearby. Then the man turned to look at the handsome young man standing behind Sandra.

"Who is he?" Ask Vero.

"This is Sandra's boyfriend Alex, Pa." Sandra confidently introduced Alex.

Alex grabs Vero's hand but Vero rejects it. "No shaman, my hands are dirty from gardening."

"Let's go home" Vero asked.

The unusual Alex walked a long way down the hill gasping for breath. Sandra saw her lover was sweating a lot. "I'll get you a drink, yeah" Sandra said and went inside.

"Have you been dating for a long time?" Ask Alex Vero.

Alex's facial expression suddenly turned serious. "Since our High School om, even though Sandra never moved without telling, in fact we were met accidentally on campus." Alex answered nervously to her future-in-law's question.

"Yes, we just moved in. I had no relatives in town so I decided to go out of town to start a new life. Early in our stay here we were very troubled especially regarding the financial economy." Vero took a long breath. "Luckily God is on our side, this is also thanks to Sandra's hard work, the sale of vegetables that I manage can go to the supermarket in the city" said Vero.

"I heard that my father saw Sandra supplying her garden to a branch supermarker owned by my family. From there I found out that Sandra was back in town. I was looking for him at the time, but did not meet. It was only a year later that we were brought together at the OSEK event because I became his senior."

"What's your parents' name?" Ask Vero curiously.

"Jaden Dans Smith" replied Alex. Vero was not surprised if his son's lover brought a sports car because Jaden is a famous businessman among his colleagues.

"I hope you guys are being a fool." Alex reviews the smile because Vero is like giving the green light to his relationship.

Sandra out. "What are you talking about?" Ask Sandra who is now carrying the drink she put on the tray.

"Drink Lex first," Vero orders Alex to drink the warm tea Sandra made.

"Good wife candidate dah," inner Alex while looking at her lover. He smiled silently.

Then suddenly it rained very hard. "This rainy season the weather is erratic" Vero said.

"Oh yeah, get Alex in first. Are you staying or not, son?" Ask Vero.

"It seems straight home pa. Oh yeah, Pa I haven't told you that I'm living in your mom's house now" Sandra said a little hesitantly.

Vero frowned. "Did your mom accept you?" Ask Vero.

"Yes, even my mom looked for me back then and apologized to me. I had brought mama here but said mama she was not ready to meet papa. I think you're sorry you wasted us."

"Do you forgive your mother, dear?"

"Of course, pa. I wanted to be close to him from a long time ago. My chance. I'm not gonna waste it, Pa." Sandra said softly considering that she never got genuine affection from her mother. Now the mother who gave love to Sandra without Sandra had to ask for it herself, how could she refuse it.

Vero took Sandra into his arms. "Pardon me for not being able to give you a whole family."

Alex sees Sandra and her father so moved. He knows how close they are.

It was night, but the rain had not stopped. "Would you stay overnight, it would be very dangerous to drive in heavy rain like this. Moreover, it's already night," proposed Vero.

Sandra and Alex thought the same. Alex then tells his parents that he will stay at Sandra's parents' house.

"Date, let's order mom..."

"Yes ma. Alex inget to keep Sandra's honor. Don't worry, Alex won't do anything about Sandra. Anyway here we sleep apart anyway," Alex told his mother.

Sandra looks busy looking for something in her bag. "What are you looking for, baby?" Alex asked his girlfriend.

Sandra looked up. "I forgot to bring my phone" Sandra replied.

"It's okay, you tell your mama tomorrow, I hope she understands." Vero offers a solution.

Now they sleep separately. Alex can only sleep in front of the television because their room does not accommodate enough other people.

"It's okay, just last night." He tried to make Sandra not worry. Sandra also gave her a blanket so that her boyfriend did not get cold.

...***...

Elsewhere Chloe is very worried because her daughter has not come home yet. He went to Jaden's house to ask about his daughter because Sandra could not be accommodated. He doesn't have Alex's phone number.

"Let you open the door Ma" said Jaden when he heard the sound of the door being knocked. Jaden is shocked to see Chloe at the door.

Bia followed her husband. "You again" said Bia coldly.

"I'm sorry I've been seeing you all night, Sandra hasn't come home yet, has Alex told you?" Ask Chloe.

"Alex said they'd stay because it was raining. So it is impossible to drive in the rain at night" said Bia.

"Oh, thank God I tried to contact Sandra but she didn't bring her phone" Chloe said.

After getting answers Chloe came home. He felt bad to disturb Jaden's family.
