Valen also without lingering, drove his car, splitting the capital's traffic to return home. Valen continued to laugh back and forth hearing Riska's story that plainly explained whatever she felt and talked about with the man named Karel.
Karel and Sigit were like that, all the way back home, Karel did not stop laughing at Sigit's story. Only, Sigit's expression looked pitiful. His face was even saddened when he saw his master could laugh out loud as he felt agonized before the girl named Valen.
“Yes Allah, this is the fate of ordinary employees like me,” inner Sigit who resignedly accepted the reality if he was only a lucky personal driver because it was always considered a family by the Karel family, his wages were also not small while working with Karel.
“Everything for the sake of buying granny rice fields,”song Sigit again in his heart. Either to entertain himself from his torment as a substitute actor for Karel or because his intention was very perfectly round to buy a rice field that his grandmother targeted.
Arriving home, Karel and Sigit were greeted by the face of the sumringah of Lady Sophia and Mr. Peter. Lady Sophia even clapped her hands happily to praise Karel.
“Mommy's son tonight makes Mommy and his Daddy happy.” Lady Sophia looked really excited.
Karel also laughed happily because he saw his mother and father happy. Sigit was also happy in the hope of getting a bonus even though it was perfunctory, usually Lady Sophia like that. Sure enough, Lady Sophia took out two hundred thousand bills and handed them to Sigit, “You also brought good luck to Karel tonight.”
Sigit laughed as he continued to thank Lady Sophia and Mr. Peter.
“Because tonight was a great success, then on the weekend later, Mommy and Daddy and Valen's parents have planned for you to go out to watch both again, so you are more familiar.”
Hearing the words of Madam Sophia, Sigit immediately drew a membrane, making those in it shocked and confused.
“Hey, Karel, is she acting?” ask Lady Sophia who was still shocked when Sigit meleyot then fell leaned on the sofa.
Karel swiftly patted the two cheeks Sigit alternately, still hoping if Sigit only acting as expected of his mother. Seeing no change in consciousness from Sigit, Karel concluded that his personal driver had fainted.
Lady Sophia became panicked and shouted calling her housekeeper. Two housekeeping assistants came in a hurry to get closer to the living room, “Get him some drinking water and sweet tea, quick!” lady Sophia's Order.
Lady Sophia's panic caused her to stir on her own, while Mr. Peter went along in a panic but as usual, Karel's father would be confused if he panicked, instead unable to do anything but watch his wife's furore.
A glass of water was offered by the housekeeper to Lady Sophia, instead of being given to Sigit to drink, she sprinkled water on Sigit's face. However, the effort turned out to be successful in resuscitating Sigit from his stupor.
Sigit gasped as most of the residents of the house were surrounding him, “I why, sir?” she still had a confused expression.
“You are possessed,” said Lady Sophia while patting her fan on Sigit's shoulder.
“Why can you faint? You haven't had dinner?” Mr. Peter with his Dutch pronunciation asked as he lowered his little glasses to the tip of his nose.
Sigit immediately shook his head, as well as his two palms being moved, gesturing that that was not the reason for his stupor, “Bu – is not, Sir, sir,” said Sigit even with stammering and staring at Karel.
Karel blinked his eyes by whispering one of Sigit's most feared words, “Grandmother.” That one word was able to silence Sigit's mouth without a fight.
Karel's personal driver had imagined that he would become a victim of Karel again, while he had been quite tormented by the charade. Unfortunately, he had no power to refuse Karel's request.
“Tomorrow we talk in the office,” whispered Karel who immediately agreed Sigit with a nod of his head slowly, barely powered.
“It's sweet tea, Mistress.” The other household assistant came to offer his employer's request earlier. Without needing to be ordered, Sigit immediately took the cup from the housekeeper's hand and all told to go back to his room. Lady Sophia and Mr. Peter also invited her to rest.
“Don't forget, Karel, this weekend you have a schedule to watch together with Valen,” orders Mrs Sophia who sounds like she doesn't want to be denied let alone rejected.
Karel with a forced smile, got up from the sofa and went upstairs to rest.

At Valen's house, the excitement is not much different from that at Karel's house. Mrs Alea is the culprit of the hoopla, as always. Valen is also praised by his mother, making Riska a little frown at feeling she was the one who was tormented, but it was his young employer who earned the praise.
“Valen, later this weekend you already have a schedule to watch together with Karel,”, said Mrs Alea with a smile sumringah. Made Valen's shoulders droop on the living room couch.
“Why should you watch it together, Mam? ‘Kan had dinner together,” protest Valen with a manyun lips. He was smitten with the man named Chairil earlier, even he was very happy when the man asked for his contact number, of course he was happy to give.
“If you only have dinner once, then when can you get married?” mrs Alea replied with a happy laugh, leaving Mr. Teddy only able to lean his head against the back of the sofa, prefer to look at the ceiling of the family room rather than looking into the eyes of Valen who must have glared asking for his defense as a father.
“Yeah, definitely the end of the week I will be back as a victim,” muttered Riska by patting her forehead. Making his mother look at him in wonder because Riska looks dizzy like Valen. Bi’Inah immediately invited her only daughter to their pavilion, not wanting her son to be involved anymore.
Valen felt free if he refused and denied his mother. The hope is only one, the son of his mother's friend also rejects this matchmaking. Valen would be more interested if the one who invited him to watch was the man at the restaurant earlier, the man named Chairil. Just look tonight, Valen still keeps shadowing the man's face. Karel was also the same, he kept remembering the face of the girl named Valencia.
“I should have had dinner and watched it with Valencia, not with Mommy's friend's son. Hadeeuh, dizzy me,” his sizzle while hugging his roll and covering his head with his blanket.

Two days later, the weekend finally arrived. Sigit's guess did not miss at all, Karel again forced him to replace his position as Karel to meet a girl named Valen, the soul mate of his mother. Sigit initially wanted to shake his head to reject Karel's request.
“You sure you will reject my request?” Karel's questions are likely to be threatening. Karel also wiggled the hundred-thousand note in front of Sigit, making the private driver's eyes suddenly green with money. Not for the foya-foya, he wanted to buy a rice field for his grandmother in the village. Finally, the safest option in this position is to nod a sign of agreement.
As with Riska, Sigit also faced the same problem, Valen's request that he could not refuse.
“Why else should Riska come?” mrs Alea protested, positioning Riska all wrong in front of her mother's employer. This time Madam Alea looked a bit pouted.
