Lily's Promise
Discuss what???
Lily was glued to the spot when she saw her parents' guests.
"Ly, come here! " Call Irvan when they are in front of the house with the family assistant welcoming the guests who have arrived. Sintia pulled her daughter slowly to stand in their midst. Ever since the guests got off the car they were driving, Lily had only fallen silent in shock at the few guests she knew. He did not leave where he had stood.
"So, this girl named Lily? Beautiful as the name suggests! " Sapa a man who looks older than his papa, yet an aura of valour and prowess is brought radiating from his face. The man also uses a tuxedo that is almost the same as his father.Lily regained control of him. Lily nodded with a smile. Lily thrust first her right palm which was welcomed by the man. Lily immediately kissed the back of her papa guest's hand as she always taught her parents of small intentions.
"Yes, I'm Lily, Papa Irvan's daughter and Sintia's mother! " Lilly introduced herself. The man chuckled.
"Then, I am Darmawan, call me Papa Darmawan! " Say the man warmly while gently rubbing Lily's head. Lily felt something warm flowing in her body feeling the warmth of her parents' guests.
"Hi dear, I'm Elena's mother, Papa Darmawan's wife. Because my husband introduced himself as papa, so call me mama! " The woman beside Darmawan.
"Hi mama Elena, you are so beautiful! " Praise Lily to the woman who looks youthful and well-groomed is friendly. The long Navy dress was very worthy of wrapping her body. The woman smiled, hearing Lily's praise. Just as in Darmawan, Lily also greeted the woman who was also welcomed a warm hug and cipika cipiki from the woman. Then there was a man younger than Irvan, as well as doctor Yasmin and husband who also participated, mbak Erika and husband, and finally Nathan. This last guest only smiled as he looked at Lily and Lily completely misbehaved by this situation.
"Come, if that's it, we're in, dinner's ready, we can have a warm chat inside! " Irvan invited his guests in. Lily was deliberately waiting for the guests to enter first.
"Nathan's mom, why didn't she come in? " Task Lily while approaching the man who uses a bone white tuxedo with red that is almost in line with the color of Lily's dress who continues to look at her with a view that Lily cannot understand.
"Here, just in, come on! " Take Nathan as he touches Lily's back gently embracing the girl.
"You can
"Mas Nathan can be here with papa's guests? There's Dr. Yasmin and Erika, too. Who is Mr Darmawan, Nathan? what is the relationship between Dr Yasmin and Erika? How can all be here! " Task Lily quietly while putting on a face looking at Nathan.
"Will be clear! Nathan said as he let go of his embrace because they had arrived at the dining room where everyone had gathered. Nathan and Lily sat next to each other in two empty seats.
" Come, please enjoy dinner! " Irvan invites guests to taste the dinner that has been available.
"Well, the menu is tempting! "
"This I know, must be the menu of the Sintia jeng restaurant right? " Continue Elena.
"Yes mbak, have you missed the same menu in my restaurant? " Canda Sintia's. Because he had met Elena who was in the middle of the gravestone or just eating at his restaurant. They all laugh. Because yes, several times they had dinner at the Sintia restaurant.
"Don't be dumb, eat Lily! " Bisik Nathan's.
"What are they talking about? " Whisper Lily.
"Eat Lily! " Strict Nathan. Lily pursed her lips for some reason she became so upset.

"Thank you for the delicious dinner and the warm atmosphere! " Say Darmawan as they were sitting in the living room after leaving the dining table.
The atmosphere full of jokes instantly looked more serious now. Lily looked at the tense expressions of the parents as well as the guests. Nathan sat across from Lily.
"So, we came to the family today, in addition to meeting and fulfilling Mr. Irvan's invitation and family. Also because I want to meet Ananda Lily! " Continue Darmawan while looking at Lily. Lily tried to smile with a little misbehavior to be the focus of everyone.
"Maybe Lily's son wonders who we are, why we're here, with Nathan, and Yasmin and Erika, whom Lily knew before! " Lily nodded.
"So, my wife, is Nathan's parents, Papa and Mama Nathan. Meanwhile, Yasmin's sister-in-law Nathan, and Erika is Nathan's cousin! Sorry if this makes Lily's son surprised. " Darmawan and Elena looked at Lily warmly. Honestly Lily was shocked, Sintia grabbed Lily and rubbed the back of her son's hand which of course was a little shocked by the information she just received.
"Sorry, maybe Nathan never told Lily, huh? " Tanya Darmawan's. Lily nodded as she glanced at Nathan a glance who looked nervous.
"We have heard many things and stories about Lily, we like Lily despite the advantages and disadvantages of a Lily, we know the daughter of Mr. Irvan and Ms. Sintia is very special. A warm, well-mannered girl, also kind. That's why we want to ask your beautiful daughter, Ananda Lily for our son, Zayan Arkhanathan or Nathan! " Darmawan's soft speech and voice were inversely proportional to Lily's reaction, the girl looked even more shocked. He stared confusedly and pushyly at everything in this room.
"Sorry, if everything is too fast, too sudden for Lily, Lily must be shocked to hear everything. But we strongly support Nathan's goodwill, therefore, we would like to rush this to Lily and Lily's parents!" All like the wind passing through Lily's hearing, she's like she's in another dimension, everything that's going on in her life has changed drastically lately, sometimes Lily herself still does not believe in everything she lived, it feels like a dream, quickly ended and alternated events after events.
Lily flinched as she felt a soft pat on her cheek, she saw Nathan squatting before her.
"We're out for a second, there's something I want to talk about! " Say Nathan quietly. Lily looked around, everyone was staring at her. Lily looked towards her father, Irvan nodded, so did Sintia. Nathan extended his hand. Doubtfully Lily grabbed Nathan's hand. Then they both left the room.
