Dark colors have enveloped nature. Harsa Mandala was still in her car after driving Widya home. A bright smile always framed sweetly on her lips. He recalled the words Widya received his proposal. Yeah, even if they're just engaged, at least they've got a bond.
Suddenly, good memories during High School crossed Harsa's mind. Widya's sweet-looking figure in her High School uniform fills Harsa's mind. At that time they had a loving relationship. The innocent Widya loves Harsa so sincerely, but Harsa instead plays with the girl's love.
"Sorry, yes, dear. At that time I was a jerk. Can't see the sincerity of your love as I do," lirih Harsa cursed her stupidity.
Harsa gave a rough breath. Along with his memory of hurting Widya's heart, he attacked again. Harper regretted his actions at that time. He hurt Karin, but hurt Widya. As if getting karma, Harsa left Widya then felt love. Unfortunately, that love has moved to another throne. Nathan's love has succeeded in shifting the name of Harsa in Widya's heart.
But fate says something else. Widya must be heartbroken again when Nathan has been picked up by the Divine. Harsa felt that God had given her a second chance to look after Widya. And this time, he would not waste that chance.
Harsa remembers all the stories that have happened with Widya, so he believes if the soul mate will not go where. In retrospect, Harsa's struggle to get Widya's love isn't easy. He had to let go of his broken heart many times. Especially when he sees someone he loves getting married. But now everything has changed. God has entrusted Widya to him as a trust.
"Astaghfirullahalazim!" Harsa screamed loudly while stepping on the brake pedal of her car firmly.
"Woy, if the real drive, dong! Red light, tuh!" someone shouted outside Harsa's car.
The surprised Harsa immediately lowered the windshield of his car. His head poked out, to look at the road signs that showed a bright red color. Harsa grimaced to admit her mistake.
"Sorry, sir, sorry. I'm not focused anymore" Harsa regretted, clenching her hands together. Apologizing to a man he almost hit up ahead of there. The man was about to cross the zebra cross that was near the red light.
"Next time be careful, Mom. If the driver has to focus!" exclaim that guy. The person's message reminded him of something. He remembered the message uttered by Widya before she left her lover's house.
'Anyway, you have to promise me. If you will always be careful in doing something. I don't want anything bad to happen to the people I love. Even if we can't fight destiny, at least you've tried not to worry me.'
Harsa gained her consciousness. "Yes, Sir. Sorry again, and thanks for reminding." After saying that Harsa sat neatly behind the wheel, then drove forward her car when the green light came back on. This time Harsa was driving carefully.

At around 20:00 WIB, Harsa arrived at his house. He found his parents sitting in the living room while watching their favorite TV series. The arrival of Harsa confiscated the attention of both parents.
"You're home, son?" ask Evi to her son.
"Hm ...." Harsa only muttered in response, while sitting her body on the same sofa as her mother. He loosened the tie he was wearing before he laid his head on his lap.
"That's a big deal, huh?" evi asked as she rubbed Harsa's head affectionately.
"There's a problem at work, Sa?" timpal Rendra is worried about his son's condition. Because it's not usually Harsa to be spoiled.
Harsa sat down and shook her head. "I'm doing well, really, Pa, Ma. And I'm fine. Just a little tired" said Harsa.
"Good then, my mother is relieved to hear it." Evi smiled with relief while rubbing her son's cheek. "Then how is the future mother-in-law? He's healthy, right?"
Harsa smiled at her mother's question. "Yes, Ma. She's indisposed. Harsa wants to give happy news to Mama and Papa."
"Patience, dong, Ma!" sahut Rendra's. Harsa grew increasingly intrigued at the behavior of her mother.
"Ih, the Papa. Mama, right, the spirit of the happy news. Once a prospective mother-in-law is ready to get married," concluded Evi while grunting sebal.
"Mama, really, can be stuck, anyway. Widya is ready, but not married, her fiance."
"That's it, right," said Evi spontaneously. However, he was not fully aware of what his son said. "Eh, really, Sa? Widya is ready to marry you?" ask Evi to make sure again.
"Wedding first, Mama. The wedding is a little." Harsa explained in a slow, but emphasis-filled tone.
"Alhamdulillah, it's okay fiancee too. Mama shunned him. Mom has a real daughter-in-law." Evi smiled broadly, her face radiating happiness. "When's her engagement, Sa?" ask Evi again.
"We haven't set a date yet. Papa and Mama have not been in touch with Widya's parents' house to ask for their official approval. How, anyway?" Harsa pouting. He pretended to sulk.
"Eh, yes, yes. We're not all alike with them." Evi looked at her husband. "Where, anyway, Papa? Why haven't you asked their families for approval?" Evi blames Rendra for that.
"Well, why be guilty papa? Widyanya just agree now," protested the papa.
Harsa was eager to laugh out loud, but she still kept her modesty in front of the old man. "Eh, why fight, si? I mean Harsa, tomorrow Mama and Papa come first to Widya's house, make a friendship with Mama Arini and Papa Bowo. But the intention is to date our engagement, that's." Harsa's parents fell silent as they listened to Harsa say that. Then nod your head in understanding.
"Okay, we agree. Yeah, right, Pah?" Evi nudged Rendra's shoulder.
"Yes" said Rendra.
Harsa smiled, then stood up. "If so Harsa enter the room first, yes. Keep showering and sleeping. Let's just meet Widya again tomorrow morning" Harsa said as she walked to her room. Evi and Rendra just shook their heads while staring at the back of Harsa who was away from their sight. A happy smile still clearly adorned the lips of the two people. They can breathe freely. Finally, Harsa's love struggle to reap the results.
...***...
The next day, everything went as planned. Harsa's parents come to Widya's house to make a friendship. More precisely determine a good day to organize an engagement event. The engagement date was set, one week later.
Harsa unceasingly thanked Widya. Even the man did not want to let go of Widya's hand when her family was gathering together.
"Which, take off my hand, dong! Shame to know from earlier seen with the others." Widya tried to pull her hand from Harsa's grasp, but the man even tightened it.
"It's okay. If you just hold hands, papa you also do not deny." Harsa reasoned.
"Ish, but I'm ashamed," Widya's protest sizzled in annoyance.
"The same shame as my own family. I'm also a regular." Harsa replied thus. Making Widya even more upset, until finally she lost and let Harsa control her hand.
