“Mother want to come?” Wisely asked a question that made Lasmi's face turn bright.
The cloudy cloud that had enveloped the old woman's feelings vanished without a trace. Lasmi nodded quickly.
“Bapak can also join.” Wisely added.
The pair of wrinkly decorated eyes on both corners looked glittering happily. The expression of a soul imprisoned since young. Confined to economic hardship, beset by the destiny outlined for him.
“Ser ... ser .. seriously?” Lasmi's body felt limp. This time I got a special surprise. Unable to be expressed in words, the happiness that hit him could not even be compared to anything.
Born to a less-than-life family, Lasmi fought with this difficult life since she was young. Nestapa so faithfully accompanied until marriage and had to lose her husband when Kenanga was a child. A little lucky to meet with Sandi who lost his direction because of the wife who at that time had to leave after giving birth to Seruni. It was to this point that he was now, aging with a simple family.
“Yes, Bu.” Wisely smiled.
Gaped for a moment before finally rushing inside to meet Sandi. Lasmi who was happy to forget to invite his future daughter-in-law into the house to force Wisely stepped presumptuously without permission.
A faint etched smile on Wisely's handsome face as the gaze circulated. A simple house with its warmth, often missed lately in addition to the figure of Seruni who is able to hypnotize with gentleness and innocence.
“I'm captivated because she's different.”Wisely said quietly, standing in the middle of the room with one hand tucked in a bag of pants.

Drove the car explore the streets of Bandung Jakarta, the journey this time is slower than this morning. It was jammed at some point and the road improvements made it falter. Wisely's vehicle with three new passengers was parked in her parents' yard during lunchtime.
The friendly welcome of Erlang and Kana welcomes prospective besan already seen from the smile of the two while helping open the car door for guests far from the city of Bandung. Seruni was stunned, not only because of the magnificent and luxurious buildings that were plastered in plain sight, but also the couple of homeowners who welcomed their arrival like special guests.
“How can it?” The question was thrown spontaneously with a gaze fixed on his parents who were treated like kings and queens.
“They are really amazing.” Seruni was a little relieved. Previously, he had imagined that he would get in-laws like in a television drama. In fact, fear is just an assumption without evidence.
“Ni.”
Amidst the admiration for the cement businessman's family, a soft greeting jolted Seruni. Dumbfounded when a card is thrust in front of him.
“This what?” Seruni hesitated.
“Take. This is for you, Ni.”
“For what?” Seruni's confused.
“For you.” Wisely smiled.
“For what, Aa. I still have money.” Seruni refused while pushing Wisely's hand away.
“Not just for you, Ni. It's for holding on over here. Surely Father and Mother need something, so you can use this.” Wisely. “Buy what they want to mumpung already here. If I do, they'll be sad. Especially Father. So, you're just.” Wisely's smile expands.
Stiffened, Seruni ventured to look at the handsome man who had not been present in his dreams all along. So great is His power, even two people who have never met and known each other can knit a bond in a short time. Two families with differences so far can meet and unite.
“Thank you, Aa.” Seruni hesitated.
However, from what he has known, there is a way of thanking that might make everything so special. Considering many things, the girl who was being overwhelmed with worry was braving doubt and shame. Cheek Wisely pecked, then bowed embarrassed. He wanted to drown himself in the deepest sea. It was the cunning that made Seruni self-cursed.
There is probably 1 more chapter. See you next time. I'm sorry that I've been hanging all my friends for too long. Love you all Casanova.
