Chapter 3

"I am honest Kourtney, you are the one I want for Navi. For me, you are the perfect woman to my son. I want the best for him, and no matter what Navi's Aunt says, I don't care about her opinion. Because Navi will follow in the end, not even me. But I am happy if both of you will get married soon. I'm also getting old." Tita put her arms around me and we stood up to clap and they were singing the campus hymn. "Always remember that you are part of a family, when you have me, I'm here. I'm like your mother, so don't be shy, okay?" I bit my lips and slowly nodded, Navi came and Tita and I hugged each other tightly, I didn't notice the time and speed of the graduation because Tita and I were talking to each other. "Finally, a new journey!" Navi smiled then broke away from us and gave Tita the diploma and a photographer came to us. Navi was in the middle of us and she and Tita were holding each other's arms, it was a good feeling that Tita treated me like this, I was part of her family and she treated me like a child. "I love you both so much." Tita and I smiled and walked out of the gymnasium, got into Navi's car and I was sitting in the front and Tita was in the back seat. "Navi, let's stop at the restaurant first. I already reserved there. Then let's go back to the house and you might not be able to eat properly because there are many guests." I looked and looked at Tita and she gave a thumbs up. I know that her Aunt doesn't like me and maybe only Navi's Mom will be able to join me at their house later. We parked in the restaurant's parking lot and Tita entered the restaurant first. Navi left us inside and she took off her gown. "I am happy that you already finished your studies," I held his hand and Navi looked at me, smiled and briefly kissed my forehead. "Yes, I am. I will wait for you and we will be successful, together." He held my hand and got out of the car first. I opened the door and walked into the restaurant holding my hand, there weren't many people and Tita was there at the big table, Tita's big smile and an envelope that was given to Navi. It looked at me and pulled away from holding my hand, gently opened the envelope and Navi's eyes widened. Tita lifted the key and rang it. Navi turned pale looking back at the Lexus LC 500 parked in the parking lot of the restaurant. "Oh my god Ma, are you serious?" There was joy in Navi's voice and Tita nodded, Navi put the envelope on the table and held my hand, we ran out of the restaurant and she almost jumped and hugged the black car. "This is my dream car, I am not expecting any gift from my mom. This is so damn good!" Navi opened the door and I was holding my phone, the size of my smile as I videoed Navi's reaction while entering the car which also had a black interior. "I will name this Kovi, this is my baby." Navi pulled me into the car and kissed me, I dropped my phone, I wrapped my arms on his neck and kissed him back. This is one of the sweetest kisses I ever had.

Tita went home first and she drove Navi's car back to their house. After we ate, we went to their house in the afternoon, Navi held my hand while driving and using his new car with a big smile on his face and like a child who was very happy with the gift he received. "I didn't expect that Mama will give a new car to me, I didn't expect that since she provided all of my needs. I am thankful that she always supports me," Navi said and we turned the corner now. "You deserve this baby, and you work hard too." Navi tightened her hold on my hand and smiled as she looked at the road and drove. "I want to leave you alone today, but Aunt already set up a party. Maybe tomorrow, don't go home, I'll say goodbye to Aunt Amelie?" he asked and we stopped next to it. I shook my head and took out my phone. "No, I'll be the one to say goodbye to Tita, and they expect that I won't stay with them now. Because it's a celebration of your new achievement, there's tomorrow for us, so enjoy this day. You're the star today, okay ?" Navi nodded and lifted my hand, kissed it and drove off again. "I am so lucky, I can't ask for anything more. My mom is so supportive, I have a gorgeous and smart girlfriend, my soon to be wife and my life, I can't ask for anything more," he said and I can feel how happy he was now. "I am lucky too. You are the man that I love and you love me too. That's just how lucky I am." I rolled down the car window and felt the cold air, we were close to their house and just at the gate I saw a lot of people there. "Baby, I am really excited to marry you. Mama is always right, that you are the perfect woman for me, I can't wait to see you finish your studies," he flushed my cheek and looked away, he always makes I feel this way. It's not new but everything Navi says is still different to me.

"Aunty already said that she is expecting us to get married. She wants a grandchild and will take care of it," I said and the big smile on Navi's lips when I said this. We got out of the car and his guests were waiting outside holding a banner and cake. Together they congratulated Navi and she accepted the cake. My camera was on video while our colleagues were giving gifts one by one today in the garden of Navi's house.
