Nanny And Duda
Chapters 116. Choices

"What do you want to talk to me about?" ask Ryan. 

"How's Dilla doing in town?" ask Danang back. 

Ryan furrowed his brows at Danang's question. 

"Why are you asking about Dilla?" 

Danang chuckled for a moment. 

"If we ask each other who will answer?" Danang.

"Ekhem." 

Ryan cleared his throat pretending itchy. He confirmed the word Danang.

"I just want to know Dilla's situation. He's been in town okay. What he did, with whom he was friends or the like," Danang said.

"If you want to know that, you can ask Dilla directly. You don't have to ask me, I think Dilla has more right to answer that question than I do" Ryan said.

Danang nodded his head. A few seconds passed, both of them were silent.

"Do you love Dilla,? ask Danang to the point.

Danang asked without seeing Ryan's facial expression, he looked straight at the front of Dilla's courtyard.

"What do you mean you ask that?" ask Ryan back.

Ryan didn't know Danang's purpose.

"I just want to know how you feel about Dilla, because soon we're getting married" Danang turned to Ryan. 

Ryan was annoyed by Danang's statement. He could not accept if Dilla married Danang. Ryan held back his emotions by grasping the chair he was sitting in.

"If you want to get married why do you still ask me if I love Dilla or not" Ryan replied.

"I wonder how you feel about Dilla. Because all my decisions are on your answers." 

"What do you mean this time. I really don't understand all this chatter of ours."

"I'm not a selfish man, if you love each other I won't get in the way of your relationship. For me, if Dilla could be happy with the person she loves, that would be enough. Rather than her being with me but she loves others and she is unhappy with our marriage," Danang said as she looked ahead again.

Danang knows if this step he took could make him lose Dilla for good. But she doesn't want Dilla to marry him because she has to. 

"It can be said that this time I gave you a chance to get Dilla. But it all depends on your answer" Danang continued.

"I'm not exactly one hundred percent sure if I love Dilla. But I feel comfortable with him. When he said he was going to marry another man my heart ached."

Danang nodded her head at Ryan's reply.

Maybe at this time you are not fully aware but one day you can definitely love Dilla fully. Now I'm handing Dilla over to you. Hopefully you can take good care of him" Danang said seriously.

Danang finds it hard to let Dilla go, but she doesn't want to force Dilla to marry him if she loves someone else and that person loves Dilla back.

"You take it easy, I'll definitely take good care of Dilla" Ryan reassured Danang.

"If you break your promise then I will not hesitate to take Dilla back and I will not allow the two of you to meet again" Danang threatened.

"You take it easy, you won't see him cry." 

Danang patted Ryan's shoulder for a moment. Danang tried to strengthen himself to crush Dilla. This is a tough step for Danang, he must be able to release the people he loves. Now he could only think of Dilla as his sister as when they were little.

They talked again until Uncle and Aunt Dilla had come home from the market. 

"Good day Uncle, Auntie," said Danang. 

"Good day" said Abdul.

Marni and Abdul are curious about the guests who come to their house. 

"Good day Uncle and Aunt. I'm Ryan Papa from Rio and Reza" Ryan said.

Abdul and Marni glanced at each other. Abdul gives the code to Marni to immediately enter the house. Abdul wants to talk to Ryan about something. 

Danang knows, surely Abdul wants to talk about something with Ryan. He did not want to block the conversation between the two of them.

"Yes to Danang. Nak Danang carefully in the street," said Abdul. 

After the departure of Danang Abdul focused on Ryan again.

"So you're the Papa of Rio and Reza?"

"Yes Uncle."

"Can we talk for a minute?" ask Abdul. 

"Can be Uncle" said Ryan.

"Then come with Uncle." 

***

Abdul accidentally teaches Ryan to go from there so as not to be heard by Marni and others. Abdul took Ryan to the plantation. Ryan followed Abdul from behind. He wondered what Abdul wanted to talk to him about. They had never met at all. Abdul stopped walking, he glanced at Ryan from top to bottom. Ryan didn't know why Abdul saw him like that.

"Why are you here?" ask Abdul. 

"I'm here to pick up my two children and my nephew Uncle" Ryan said. 

"Is that all you came?" ask Abdul again.

Ryan fell silent, he knew no other meaning than Abdul's question.

"If you want to bring the three of them, please take them. You must not meet Dilla," said Abdul offended.

"Sorry Uncle, come in here I also want to bring Dilla to the city with us."

"What are you taking Dila back to town for?" 

"I want Dilla to take care of my son."

"So you just want Dilla to take care of your child. If that's what you want, you can find someone else, not Dilla."

"But Uncle, the three of them are already too attached to Dilla. They don't want to be with the other. Besides that I…."

Ryan's words stopped, in vain do not know how to tell Abdul if he also needs Dilla. 

"Dilla is indeed my niece, but I have regarded Dilla as my own biological child. Dilla is old enough to get married and to have her own child is not just taking care of someone else's child or a child who has nothing to do with Dilla at all" Abdul said.

"Is Dilla for you just your babysitter?" abdul asked back.

"What does Uncle mean?" ask Ryan back. 

"Do you have no other feelings for my child." 

Ryan was silent to Abdul's statement. 

Now I'll give you two options. The first choice you take home the three of them right now. My second choice will give you a week to rethink whether you just want Dilla as your babysitter or you really love my son. After one week of your return here, I will wait for your answer. If you really want Dilla to come with you, you have to bring both of your parents when you come back" said Abdul.

Ryan was surprised to hear Abdul's words, he did not expect that Abdul would give him the two options. And the thing that made him very surprised was that the conclusion of Abdul's words was that Abdul agreed with his relationship with Dilla. Abdul wants Ryan to immediately give his answer, whether he wants to marry Dilla soon or not. If he did not choose now then it would be certain that another opportunity would never exist again.

"Hows it? which one did you choose?" repeated Abdul. 

"Give me time to think back to Uncle."

"I'll give you one week. If in one week you still have no answer, then I want you to stay away from Dilla along with your child as well. After that I will continue to marry Dilla to Danang. 

Ryan considering the words of Abdul, this is indeed his only chance as said by Danang. 

"That's all I want to tell you. Now we go back," Abdul asked.

They returned home in silence, just as they had left.
