The Wedding Project
Good Man


All Felix and Chika's plans are falling apart. The plan was Saturday for Mama Felix's house to be canceled because the mother went out of town, to check out her cake shop. Plans to meet with Nadia were also canceled because Chika was suddenly asked to return home by her father and mother, finally meeting with Nadia was postponed until tomorrow week.


Sent by Felix, Chika returns home. When he arrived, he was welcomed by his parents.


"Have you forgotten your home?" aland asked when he met his daughter.


"Pa .. "whimper Chika while hugging. Two weeks of living in the apartment and during that two times his vacation used to go play ice skating. 


"You are still spoiled" said Aland.


Chika just put on her lazy face hearing the temptation of her papa. He then turned to his mother and hugged her.


Felix, who was still behind Chika, greeted her future father-in-law. 


"How are you?" ask Aland. 


"Good, Pa." Since being asked to call papa, Felix finally complied. 


Chika who saw the closeness of her father and Felix could only shake her head slowly. Their closeness makes Chika must give up all her wishes to give up plans to cancel the wedding. 


Everyone get into the house. Take Felix and Chika to the dinner table. Ella had prepared lunch to welcome the arrival of her son and future daughter-in-law. 


"If I'm welcomed like this princess I'm very happy to go home once a month" Chika said as she looked at the food provided by her mother. He pulled out a chair as he was already impatient to eat all the food that was specially prepared for him. 


Aland and Ella smiled at their son. The youngest child is still like a child and has not had much fruit.


"You have to be patient with the little ones" Aland told Felix. 


Chika's lips chipped at hearing her papa's temptation.


That made Felix smile. "I'll be patient, Pa." He looked at Chika meaningfully. All this time Felix was quite patient with what was done by Chika. For example, how Chika met Natasya, she was actually quite upset when she found out what Chika was doing, but when she heard the words Chika said made her happy. Indirectly the sentence says if he will accept it. 


Chika gets upset when Felix. However, he realized Felix was indeed very patient with him. Several times he acted, but Felix calmly accepted. 


They all started lunch talking. Discuss Felix and Chika's wedding plans. Papa Felix asks to prepare the building for the wedding and all the necessities from now on, so that all is safe on the wedding day arrives. 


Chika who heard what her father said could only nod. There is no reason to run away from marriage anymore. Felix is very good. Many things have been seen, but somehow there is still doubt in Chika's heart or maybe she is the only one who until this moment has not realized how much love.


Finished eating Felix chatted with Aland in the living room, while Chika went to his room to pick up some of his belongings. 


Seeing her son go to the room, Ella catches up with him. He wanted to talk to his youngest son. When entering the room, it appears Chika is taking some items and put them in a bag placed on the bed. 


"Did he touch you?" asked Ella while sitting on the bed. 


Chika's hand that was entering the goods looked towards her mother. A worried face on my mom's face. "He didn't do anything to me, Ma." 


Ella exhaled. Relieved to hear about it, but did not make him immediately believe. "Didn't he touch you?" The same question still came out of his mouth. 


Chika sat right next to Ella. Grasping her mother's hand. Look closely at the woman who gave birth to him 24 years ago. 


"He's a good guy who got lost like what papa said," Chika smiled. The term his father gave him had a point. Because sometimes people get a little lost when looking for a way in life. "He never touched me at all, Ma." Chika emphasizes her sentence so that her mother understands if Felix really did not touch her. 


Ella's relief grew more pronounced, hearing her daughter's explanation. At least her daughter is safe. Sometimes she still likes to argue with her husband for choosing Felix, but her husband's confidence is so great.


"Do you love her?" Ella knew that her husband was forcing his will. As a parent who knows how young people are, he understands if surely his son wants to marry by the choice of his heart. 


To love? The word echoed in Chika's mind. It used to be a sign that he loved Erik, but lately, when talking to Erik, it all felt bland. 


Ella laughed at her daughter's question. "Your heart will always be happy with her."


I felt that way when I was with Erik and Felix.


"There was a thumping feeling with her."


With Erik there was no such feeling. Is it because I'm with him too often? ask Chika in her heart. 


With Felix I'm always pounding, don't-don't ….


Chika shook her head, trying to dodge everything.


"You love Felix?" ella asked smilingly to see her daughter shake her head. 


"No, Ma," elak Chika. 


"Understand your feelings." Ella stroked gently Chika's cheek. He knew there was a feeling of love in his son's heart.


Chika fell silent. Thinking about what her mother said, understanding her heart now had no name for who it was. 


Ella asks Chika to continue picking things up and asks her to join the family room immediately. 


***


Satisfied talking with his mother and father, Chika finally chose to return to the apartment. However, along the way he thought about what his mother had said. Understand feeling. 


"What are you thinking?" ask Felix who saw Chika just shut up all the way home. 


"May I ask you something?" 


"Ask." Felix smiled


"What's the reason you had a marital relationship before you got married?" I want Chika to know the real reason. 


"Have love and lust been so different?" ask Felix and get a nod from Chika. "Maybe I'm at that crossroads, unable to distinguish between love and lust." 


"If at all it can't tell the difference, but you do it many times" Chika said.  


"I know," Felix smiled as he scratched his un-itchy head.


"Sometimes I get carried away."


Chika snorted annoyedly at Felix's reply. However, it cannot be blamed either because it is with the development of the era, young people consider such things, ordinary things. How we strengthen each other's faith.


"I know I was wrong. That's why I want to change. However, if the one with me is also like me. I'm sure no word will change, because I'll definitely be tempted." Felix smiled innocently at Chika.


For a moment Chika recalled her seductive action. Luckily nothing happened because of it. If he does, he himself loses.


"So don't tease me anymore" Felix smiled meaningfully.


Chika's face blushed. Shame to be found out if everything he does is intentional. But nothing works.


He seems to be trying hard to change.
