Galuh stepped out of the car he was riding with Reza, stunned for a moment staring at the luxurious building in front of him.
In the spacious parking lot there are many round tables as well as chairs wrapped in white cloth and on the back is tied with a golden color ribbon. While on the table there are drinks and many small snacks.
Each table was filled with guests present, as well as the room in the house.
From where he stood at that time, Galuh could observe the busy servants in black white uniforms alternately serving trays containing food and drinks.
“Are we late?” galuh asked while observing every guest who came in and out of the room.
“The trick is at half-time eight nights. But the guest who came has been here since an hour ago,” said Reza saw the watch in his hand.
“It looks like a lot of guests are coming tonight.” Galuh glanced at the man beside her, who walked around approaching where she was.
“Actually what event the hell, Bang. If just ordinary friends, time until like this?” ask Galuh curious. Because until the man came to pick her up at the house earlier, he had not been told what was going on at Reza's house that night.
Reza smiled in response, leaning for a moment his body on the door of his car. “Today's oma birthday. As a form of gratitude for having been extended by the Creator, oma gave thanksgiving and friendship. In addition to the close neighbors and extended family present, papa also invited his relations and business partners.”
“So it's his oman's birthday, brother. Why don't you tell me from this afternoon, wear all the rest? If you know gini, I can make a gift for oma. So it's not good to come empty-handed like this,” complained Galuh uncomfortable.
“That's what oma and I don't want, you will definitely bother and try to give gifts to oma.” Reza turned around and looked at Galuh seriously.
“Oma does not need a gift from you, that is not what you want. On her birthday, I have a special request for me. He wants to meet my girlfriend. If I can't bring my woman before him tonight, then oma is ready to choose one of the female guests she thinks is worthy to be my partner.”
“So?”
Reza looked back at Galuh, there was honesty in his eyes and Galuh clearly caught the eye gesture that wanted her to meet oma and tell her about their current relationship.
“What is a birthday oma?” point Galuh at an old woman sitting in a long chair in the main room accompanied by a middle-aged man, receiving congratulations and prayers from guests present there.
The door of the house was left wide open so that everyone who was there, could clearly see the existence of the owner of the event.
“Iya, was I wanted to accompany me. But I refused because I had to go pick you up,” explained Reza.
“Loh, what is it?”
“That's how?” Reza raised one eyebrow.
“Reason Abang rejected oma's wishes, can-can oma snatch the same I?”
Galuh scowled his face, “Hursecret again! I love playing with secrets just like me. Last afternoon also did not tell ngundang came for any event until not bring a gift,” Galuh sumpang do not like, linking hands on the chest.
Reza chuckled at the sour face of Galuh, he could guess that the woman was in a ruffled because it was uncomfortable to be there without bringing anything to her oma.
“Now you come with me, I want to show you something. We go by the side road,” said Reza then grabbed Galuh's hand.
“Where?” Galuh held back his steps, “What should not we meet oma first. How about he find you, Bang?”
“What this time you also want that secret from me again?”
Reza turned and looked at Galuh who was hesitant to step forward. “I want to show you your room that you will occupy if you want to spend the night in this house.”
“Oh yes?”
“Iya, darling. The people in this house have prepared a special room for you to stay in, and I've asked them to repaint it according to your taste.”
“Hah!”
“I did it because I wanted to introduce you to my extended family, and I did it a week before your departure on vacation back home that time. I want to give you a surprise, and oma is so excited to hear this one and only grandson has a partner.”
“Speaking with oma event, he wants to meet you and hope to get to know you more closely. My invitation to stay here at that time was also not separated from the desire of oma who wanted to have more time to be with you, yank.” Reza.
Galuh blushed to hear all Reza's stories to her, oma only heard Reza's stories about her but the woman seemed to like her. Galuh nodded and looked at his hand which was in Reza's grasp.
Reza clasped Galuh's hand tightly and guided him to the side of his building, passing through some ordinary-looking doors and knowing they were already in a room that looked very amazing.
The room was very beautiful, a blend of modern and antique styles. The walls are coated in blue wallpaper with golden edges. The carpet underneath was very thick and soft, Galuh did not even dare to set foot there.
In the middle of the room, slightly attached to the wall behind him there is a large bed with a support pole in each corner made of teak wood. From the top to the bottom of the bed is covered with a clean white mosquito net, which is left open in the front.
“You like his room?” ask Reza.
“Great, I like.”
And it looks like that night Galuh changed his mind, maybe this time he will obey the wishes of Reza and his omanya to stay there.
