Me And You For Us
Toby

After the events that occurred in the programmer room, all sat back while looking at their respective laptops silently. Some are working, some are thinking about Kandara's condition. As he heads home, Toby approaches Mala's desk.

"Mala, please drive Dara home, yes. I'm going straight home." Said Toby, and Mala nodded while giving an OK sign with her finger.

Hearing Toby and Mala Kandara's talk said quietly. "That's all, Mas. Mama will pick me up. Mama sent me a message, from the boutique straight here to pick me up." Mala nodded at Kandara's words, then gave an OK gesture with her finger. Toby nodded as well.

"Alright, then I go home first, yeah." Said Toby as he put the laptop in the bag and walked out of the room. Mala and Kandara just stared at the back of Toby who was leaving the room.

Just happened, Toby came home leaving them at the time of the office. They usually go home together. Whether overtime or not. Mala and Kandara took a deep breath at the same time.

"Better not to be named, kwak kwak team. It's bad influence for us." Mala said, trying to smile. Kandara also tried to smile.

Toby who was already in the parking lot directly ran his car out of the parking lot. Once on the highway, he drove his air, at high speed towards home. He felt relieved, because the streets were not too crowded. Because he wanted to lie down immediately, dispelling the fatigue of his mind and also the obstruction of his heart.

Arriving home, he went straight into his room without seeing his parents stupefied, saw him enter the house without giving greetings or looking left or right.

"Well, did something happen to Toby? Why doesn't he say hello or see us?" Bu Asri asked, worried and about to stand up to him.

"Mom... Let him go first, he'll be hungry he'll be out. Let him rest." Mr. Danny interrupted his wife by holding Ms. Asri's hand to stay seated.

"Now it's better, I'm getting dinner ready. So that if he asks for food, there's something to eat." Mr. Danny said again, giving advice to Ms. Asri. To distract him from Toby's condition.

Actually, Mr. Danny was also surprised by Toby's attitude, but he was detained. In order not to make Bu Asri more panicked and followed Toby to his room.

A short time later, Toby came out of the room still with his work shirt, but his face was like he had just woken up. It made me wonder Mr. Danny was sitting at the dinner table. Toby took the mineral water and sat down at the dinner table.

"Dad eaten?" Toby asked, after drinking and sitting in front of his father.

"Not yet, I'm waiting for you." Said Mr. Danny while looking at Toby's disheveled face.

"Ooh, sorry Dad. Toby's a little tired. Where are you, Dad?" Toby's question distracted his father who kept paying attention to him.

"Again behind, don't know what's cooking, not yet ripe." Said Mr. Danny, trying to smile.

"Waaah... I hope you don't cut down trees first, make firewood." Said Toby, smiling to himself with his words.

"If you know the old man is cooking with firewood, yes, bantuu.." Said Bu Asri while bringing dinner with Mbo'.

"Here, Toby help me carry, ma'am." Toby said as he extended his hand.

"Geez, you haven't had a shower?" Bu Asri asked surprised to see Toby's office clothes.

"Let's finish eating a new bath, all of you sleep, ma'am." Said Toby while taking his plate.

"What's wrong with you, Toby." Asked Bu Asri who was curious about Toby's unusual appearance.

"Muu... I ate first, so that the story was strong. I also eat a lot, so I can hear it." Toby said with a serious face. Making Bu Asri speechless and eat as Toby said.

Mr. Danny followed the meal in silence, without trying to ask. He thought, surely Toby will talk about something serious.

After finishing eating, Mr. Danny, Ms. Asri was still sitting at the dinner table waiting for what Toby would say. "Mom, don't shut up. Take the fruit, so he'll be more powerful." Said Mr. Danny, trying to melt the atmosphere by joking.

"No, Mom, just sit down. Toby's gonna take it." Then Toby stood up and walked to the back to pick up the fruit. Mr. Danny and Ms. Asri could only look at each other, astonished by Toby's attitude.

"If so..." Ms. Asri's speech came to a halt, when Mr. Danny hinted to remain silent.

"Right now, Dara is in a difficult time, because she's pregnant." Toby's words stopped because he saw Bu Asri covering his mouth with both hands while his eyes were rounded.

"Toby can't say who the man who impregnated her, because Dara herself didn't say it. But right now, Toby told me to Mom and Dad, so you don't let Mom and Dad get too hopeful and disappointed." Toby continued.

"Are they getting married?" Ask Mr. Danny who became impatient.

"It doesn't seem like it, Dad. Because if you want to get married, Dara will not submit a resignation." Toby said, trying to guess.

"You just found out today?" Ask Bu Asri curious, knowing the condition of Kandara.

"No ma'am, it's been a while. Dara talked about it with Toby and Mala, before with Pak Ari. Because he wants to submit a letter of resignation." Toby, explain.

"Gosh, so when we met her at the convenience store, she knew she was pregnant?" Said Bu Asri surprised.

"Gosh, it's fitting that Mom's question makes her face red with embarrassment. Dara must have thought, Mother has told him she is pregnant, so ask like that." Said Mr. Danny was surprised to remember the events at the fresh fruit supermarket.

"Oh my God, I was right. Dara and Mama must have thought so, so they immediately went home. Oh, my God, you subconsciously touched her." Said Ms. Asri, then held her chest.

"Dad, I have to apologize to Dara and Mama." Said Mrs Asri again.

"That's okay, Mom. Dara knew ko', I didn't mean to offend her. The proof is that he came at Father's birthday." Toby said, calming his parents.

"Ooh, yeah. Then what are you, if you can marry her if that man is not responsible? Mom and Dad are still willing to accept him as our daughter-in-law. Aren't you, Dad?" Ask Ms. Asri, and Mr. Danny nods in agreement.

"It's not that easy, Mom, Dad. Toby knew Dara a long time ago and Toby knew her nature. If Toby says that to him, it's just as much a burden to him."

"She's not going to be so nice to Toby. And also, she could assume Toby was just pitying her. If she doesn't want to marry Toby, she'll completely resign from the office, because it's not nice to meet Toby."

"In the meantime, let it be like this first. Let's see until she gives birth, maybe there's a change. What's important is that Mom and Dad knew, so that one day we could meet him, please encourage him."

"Today at the office, there was a friend who just found out Dara was pregnant. His response made Toby surprised and somewhat angry at him. That's why now, Toby says to Mom and Dad. Not asking for a show if you meet him. But show Mom and Dad that you know and accept the decision.

"As Mama, it must be hard to accept Dara's decision. Let us not add it again, with a pretended good attitude while gossiping behind the back."

"Toby still wants a career and has no intention of getting married in the near future. So let it be like this first, be able to work with Mala, Dara and the rest of the colleagues." Said Toby, and took a breath, deep.

"It's possible that, after Dara gives birth, she will change her mind. Let Toby protect him the way he is now. Toby does like to be careless and reckless in his attitude. But against Dara, Toby can't." Say Toby again.

"For his current condition, Toby can't say he's stupid. Because she's a smart woman. Maybe he's trapped by his innocence and kindness." Said Toby slowly, because he knew Kandara well.

"Dad understands your feelings, and we will support all your decisions. Don't think about us, you'll be disappointed. As you believe, Dara is in trouble, we feel the same way."

"If you've only met him twice, we understand why you want to be able to work with him. Because according to Dad, being able to work and being around him is a joy. Don't let you be so careless, you lose it." Said Mr. Danny, and Ms. Asri nodded in agreement.

"Now you shower, pray and rest." Ms. Asri stood up and rubbed Toby's back. Both parents were moved, because it was the first time, Toby spoke openly to them.
