Pursued by the Love of Jengkol Children
Conditional Permit

Bella immediately invites Raka and Roni to enter the house as her mother ordered. The two then sat in the guest room, while Bella went to the middle room because she was called by her mother.

'' Oh, my Bro! So, she's Bro's boyfriend, huh? ck ck.. Great, by the way! I could have a girlfriend as beautiful and rich as that!'' roni whispered while shaking, as the two were already sitting in the living room chair.

Raka did not answer Roni's question. He instead gestured Roni, so as not to talk about it in this place, for fear that the two parents Bella heard their conversation.

While waiting for Bella and her parents to come out to meet them, the two just kept quiet without speaking a word. Raka himself is still thinking about the events outside earlier. Moreover, he also had time to see the look on the face of Ms. Linda who looked less happy. However, he could also only resign himself to all the possibilities.

From behind the thick glass wall, the barrier between the living room and the family room that is transparent from the inside, Ms. Linda was talking to Bella. While continuing to pay attention to Raka and Roni who were sitting in the living room, Madam Linda seemed to be interrogating Bella.

'' Oh..So that's it, your girlfriend who's just the sheriff's salesman?'' asked Ms. Linda while looking at Raka with a bit of cynicism.

'' Mam! Mami said that anyway! Can it not, huh? Mami said no use ngredahin people!'' bella said that she did not like the attitude of her mother like that.

'' Mom, everyone can change. Maybe mas Raka is now just a seller of serabi cake. But who knows, in the future he could be a successful person. The wheel of life is always spinning Mam! Bella's sure Mami knows that. And for example our own family.''

'' After all, even though she was just an ordinary person, but Bella liked her so much? Anyway, if Mami doesn't like Raka, it means Mami doesn't like Bella either! If so, Bella better get out of this house.'' threatened Bella.

'' Bella..! You..!''

Seeing Bella's attitude like that, Ms. Linda started to get emotional. He's almost gonna slap Bella. However, it was immediately prevented by Mr. Daniel who had just come down from his room, and found them in the room.

'' Mam.. Be patient! don't be so rude as Bella. After all, Bella is our only child. If anything happens later with Bella, will we also be bothered.'' said Mr. Daniel, advising his wife.

'' But Pih! Because of that child, now Bella is so unruly.'' said Ms. Linda upset.

'' Mommy..! Remember what Papi said yesterday. Don't rush to judge anything! Although the appearance is simple, but the child seems to be quite good, whispered Mr. Daniel to Ms. Linda.

'' In the meantime, let them. We're looking for the right time, if we've found someone who's a good fit for Bella.

Ms. Linda ended up just according to what her husband said. Actually, Mr. Daniel himself was also a little surprised when he saw Raka. Almost he called Raka with the name ''bad boy '', like when he saw Raka who was hit by splashing water puddles at that time. However, fortunately he was able to hold back and did not put out those words, as he approached Raka and Roni in the guest room earlier.

'' Mommy, Bella, we'd better meet them. It's not good to let a guest like this. Oh yes Mih, tell Imah to make drinks for them.'' ask sir Daniel to his wife.

Although with a slightly displeased heart, Ms. Linda finally just obeyed what her husband Daniel said. He then told Imah his assistant, to make drinks and bring snacks for Raka and Roni in the guest room.

'' Sorry, mas! Long wait, yes. We had a little bit of family business, said Mr. Daniel to Raka and Roni, after he returned to the guest room and sat with them there.

'' No, papa sir! We are the ones apologizing. Maybe our arrival here, even disturbing the rest of the family.'' said Raka politely.

'' Oh yes! This is with who?'' ask Daniel to Raka and Roni.

'' I am Raka sir! And this is my friend Roni.'' replied Raka introducing herself and Roni to Mr. Daniel.

'' Don't call me mister mas, just call my father or Om Daniel, let it be better to hear. Oh yes, I just remembered! You were the one the other day hit by that splash of water? Ouch.. I'm sorry, yes! I was in a hurry again. I am also really sorry for my disrespect at that time, said Mr. Daniel, but it looks quite polite.

'' No papa sir, uh sir! I even forgot about it.'' said Raka, also joined the pleasantries.

'' So by the way, you're Bella's boyfriend? I heard, you are also one campus with Bella.'' asked Mr. Daniel again.

'' Yes Pi! And the purpose of Raka's arrival here also, actually wanted to ask permission from Papi and mami, about our relationship.'' Sahut Bella who even answers questions from her father to Raka.

'' May it be Pi..!'' bella blatantly asks that her father support her relationship with Raka.

Shot at the request by his only daughter in front of others, Mr. Daniel became confused. Moreover, he also understands very well, how the nature of Bella princess is just a puppet. He looked at his wife who had just sat down. However, Ms. Linda just kept quiet without expression.

Confused and feeling deadlocked, Mr. Daniel then invited his wife to negotiate in another room. She did not want to disappoint Bella by refusing her request. However, he also feels uncomfortable, seeing his wife who disapproves of Bella's relationship with Raka.

'' Mommy...! Papi said that. Let Bella have a relationship with the boy. Later, if you have the right young man for Bella, then we keep Bella away from him, said Mr. Daniel gave advice to his wife.

'' In the meantime, Mami pretended to agree to let Bella be happy. Don't let, Bella so jittery because of this problem. Mommy knows what Bella is! Mami also knows right, Papi's career is now good? Papi does not want, Papi's career will be disrupted because of the concern about Bella.'' continued Daniel again.

'' But Pih! What if they were like that later? Or, what if Bella can't stay away from the child? We are also dizzy. Therefore, it is still not done, it is better now that we prohibit them from having a relationship.'' said Ms. Linda.

Daniel became silent. What his wife said, there is a point as well. But, for now, he also does not want his career to be disrupted, if later Bella makes problems because of his will that is not fulfilled.

'' Mih..! Let it be Papi who thinks. Papi also has confidence, if the child will never mess.''

'' According to Papi, the boy was actually quite good and also quite handsome. Moreover, he is also an independent young man and has aspirations. Papi will give him a chance, but with some conditions.'' said Mr. Daniel, then whispered something to his wife.

'' How did Mih, Mami agree with Papi's idea?'' asked Mr. Daniel who was answered by Ms. Linda with a nod, after a while he thought.

Moments later, Ms. Linda returned to the guest room. He whispered to Bella. Bella nodded. He then said to Raka, to meet her father who was in the family room.

'' Mas Raka, can you please leave the family room for a moment? That said Papi would like to talk to both Raka!'' pinta Bella to Raka.

Raka immediately got up from her seat. He then went to the family room, where Mr. Daniel was waiting for him. While Roni, she remained sitting in the guest room with Bella and her mother, while enjoying the drinks and snacks that had been provided.

'' Sorry sir! You called me?'' asked Raka, when she was in the family room and saw Mr. Daniel sitting there waiting for her.

'' Yes, yes it is true. I want to talk to you a little bit. Please sit!'' said Mr. Daniel invited Raka to sit in front of him.

'' This is how you. Actually, we don't mind if Bella is in a relationship with you. But you know it yourself! What is the status of our family? We also don't know exactly what your family is like. In the meantime, we are also unlikely to refuse our son Bella's request.''

'' So, we will still allow the two of you to be in a relationship. Only, there are some conditions that you must meet. Hows it? Are you ready?'' ask Daniel sir.

Raka was silent for a moment to think. But finally, He nodded and was willing to meet the requirements that Mr. Daniel would say, even though Mr. Daniel had not said them at all.

'' Alright! If you are ready. Please listen carefully, said Mr. Daniel and took a deep breath, before continuing his words.

'' First. As long as you're dating, you can't do anything! Second one. You should not be seen together too often, especially at important events, especially in our family events! And next, this is the most important said Mr. Daniel, then silent for a moment before saying the next condition.

'' You know, our family background. Pardon me! It's not that we meant to be condescending, but this is the reality. Bella is our only daughter. We don't want Bella's life to be miserable. We also do not want to, we feel ashamed because our son married an inappropriate person.''

'' However, since we see that Bella likes you so much, we will give you a chance to be with our daughter Bella.''

'' If you really want to get our blessing and also want to marry Bella, then you should be able to show us that you deserve Bella. Hows it? you understand what we mean?'' daniel said to Raka.

'' Oh yes, there is one more thing you need to remember. If later we find the right person for Bella, while you still can't show your worthiness, then you should stay away from Bella.

Raka nodded in understanding. However, his heart started to worry a little. Although without these requirements, He himself did want to do as Mr. Daniel just said. However, when he heard the last requirement said by Mr. Daniel, now Raka really felt a little bit of worry that his mother had said.

Shortly after, after what Mr. Daniel wanted to say to Raka had been delivered, they returned to the guest room and sat there again. Bella and the others, simultaneously looked towards Raka and Mr. Daniel.

Besides Miss Linda who already knew about what they were talking about, Roni and Bella so wonder in their hearts. However, when Raka and Mr. Daniel came out of the family room earlier, they smiled sweetly as if looking happy.

However, in Raka's heart now churned two different flavors that made her feel worried. Should he be happy because he has been given permission to be in a relationship with Bella, or feel sad about the request made by Mr. Daniel to him.

However, because she did not want Bella and Roni to know about it, so Raka tried to be mediocre, as if there was no problem whatsoever in her heart.

After almost an hour they were there, Raka then invited Roni to say goodbye. Seeing that, Bella who still wanted to be with Raka, she seemed to object. However, because Raka said that tomorrow morning she had to open her shop, Bella also would not want to have to let Raka go home.
