- Ep 5 -
- Like usual, Alyasara just does her work as usual. Nothing bad happens, UNTIL, Tengku Haurin, The King went to her coffee shop-
- Tengku Haurin looks at Alyasara and smiles. -
Alyasara Hasley
💭 T- Tengku!? Oh God!! Act cool, act cool.
Alyasara Hasley
W- welcome to our coffee shop, Tengku. May I take your order?
- Alyasara's palm is already sweating -
Tengku Haurin
Well yeah, I want some black coffee. Oh, and some strawberry shortcake.
Alyasara Hasley
Good choice, Tengku. I will be right with your order.
- Alyasara immediately makes Tengku Haurin's coffee. While Tengku Haurin looks at her and smiles -
Tengku Haurin
You look nervous, dear. Is there a problem there?
Alyasara Hasley
Oh! No. Of course not, Tengku.
Tengku Haurin
Tengku... - smile - of course you're calling me that. After a few weeks, you will call me "Father" or "Dad".
- Alyasara freezes in place. Looking dumbfounded as she was shocked -
Tengku Haurin
Oh, don't act like you don't know, dear. You know what I'm talking about.
- Alyasara went silent. Look back to Tengku Haurin -
Alyasara Hasley
Yes.. I know... - look down -
- Tengku Haurin noticed how awkward Alyasara are -
Tengku Haurin
What's wrong, dear? You looking down and awkward.
Alyasara Hasley
I just... Are you sure you want me as your daughter-in-law? I mean, I'm just a normal citizen. I'm nothing to compare you... Tengku..
Tengku Haurin
Oh, dear. That's what you been thinking about? No wonder you take long enough to answer the offer of marriage to my son, Helbert. Well, dear, you might look normal but I can see in your eyes that you are the one for my son and my family. You're hardworking and intelligent. I always watch you from far away every time I come back from school.
Alyasara Hasley
Please don't tell me you spy on me, Tengku... You give me goosebumps now... - Hold her arm as she feels goosebumps -
Tengku Haurin
- Laugh - my apologies, dear. But the moment I lead eyes on you, you are.. How do I put this? you are like a light that burns among others and I know, you are the one.
Alyasara Hasley
That's weird of you, Tengku. Do you have any ability that no one knows?
Tengku Haurin
- laughed again - oh you silly young woman. Maybe or maybe not. Who knows?
- Alyasara went silent again -
Tengku Haurin
You went silent again, Dear. Just let it out, tell me, don't leave me hanging here.
Alyasara Hasley
Doesn't Tengku Helbert have a girlfriend, Emily? Why still me?
- Tengku Haurin's smile dropped as he heard Emily's name. -
- Alyasara feels something is not right and... Scare? -
Alyasara Hasley
Did I say something wrong, Tengku?
Tengku Haurin
No, you are fine. But when you say Emily's name, it's like my mood is ruined..
Alyasara Hasley
O- oh... Sorry, Tengku... - feel guilty -
Tengku Haurin
No no. It's okay. - smile -
Alyasara Hasley
May I know why... You didn't choose Emily as your daughter-in-law?
Tengku Haurin
Well, hard to say. Emily is the type of.. Rude. I don't know what my son sees in her. Every weekend or when my son has time for his family, Emily must take him or beg to take her to date. Not to mention she is... Act like a 5 year old kid. Since my son started a relationship with her, he doesn't have time for his family and makes us feel neglected.
- Alyasara's nods slowly -
Alyasara Hasley
And what do you see in me?
- Tengku Haurin smiles wide -
Tengku Haurin
Well, even though you are an only child, I have seen you with a kid or toddler before, I'm sorry for spying on you like a weirdo but I can't help when I see you with those kids and toddlers. The way you call their name with a soft tone, the way you calm them up. The way you carry them. It's such a beautiful scene. Not to mention, my last daughter loves you too. You have taken care of her before. When you take part-time as a babysitter.
- Alyasara suddenly remembered those moments. Yes, when Alyasara was still in high school, she decided to take part-time as a babysitter to help her family. -
Alyasara Hasley
Husna? Oh god!! I miss her.. And those kids and toddlers too. - smile -
Tengku Haurin
- laughed - yeah, she misses you too. When she comes back from a childcare place, she cries to me and says you stop to be a babysitter there.
Alyasara Hasley
- smile + guilt - Not just her, but every kid over there too. I have to stop becoming a Babysitter because of my final year exam.
Tengku Haurin
I understand that. But why don't you choose to become Babysitter back?
Alyasara Hasley
Childcare is kinda far away from my house, so I decided to work here.
Tengku Haurin
Ah, so you don't have any transport. Poor thing.
Alyasara Hasley
I know. I do want to come back to the childcare place, but yeah, I can't
Tengku Haurin
It's okay, after you get married with my son, you are free to come whatever you want.
Alyasara Hasley
- smile - thank you, Tengku. I appreciate it.
Tengku Haurin
My pleasure, dear.
- Alyasara went silent again -
Alyasara Hasley
Oh yeah, by the way, here is your coffee and strawberry shortcake, Tengku. You're welcome to come here anytime again.
Tengku Haurin
Oh thank you, dear.
- Tengku Haurin took his order and decided to leave. He waves at Alyasara before he steps to exit -
- Alyasara looks down and thinks again -
Alyasara Hasley
💭 Am I enough to become his daughter-in-law?
