Dinner at Table 8 Restaurant in Hotel Mulia feels warm and comfortable. Valdo effortlessly blends in, and Lucas and Cynthia join us, their bond appearing even closer.
Despite my father's stern attitude towards Valdo, he handles it patiently. Interestingly, my in-laws, wise as they are, don't discuss our changed relationship, no longer just in-laws but now a couple.
They're probably giving us time to disclose our relationship to friends and family. Even though we didn't discuss this morning's incident when my dad disapproved of our relationship, my in-laws must have sensed it, given my dad's sternness towards Valdo.
"Have you planted Valdi's urn behind Valdo's house, Na?" Lucas asks, indulging in dessert.
"Yes, Luc. We planted a bodhi tree on it, fulfilling Valdi's wish," I explain.
