"Dark! Let's have breakfast before I clean up your house!" Leo's new voice came into the house, so loud and clear as he spoke with a shout.
Hearing Leo's voice made Ayu again choke for the third time. He could clearly see the faces of his Mama and Papa who were very surprised to hear Leo's voice.
'Great, die me!' Ayu turned her grimace in believing that after this there would be a trial for her.
Leo who had just entered the dining room was made shocked by the presence of Ayu's parents. He thought that the Master and Lady of the house were still in his brother's residence. He felt ashamed that he had entered into someone else's house without permission. The young man is now standing near the door with his right hand carrying a smart vacum cleaner robot, and his left hand carrying a crackle containing Ayu's favorite porridge.
August and Mei looked at Ayu sharply and asked for an explanation, why did Leo get inside the house? What happened when they left their daughter home alone?
***
"So ..., you hired Leo as a maid in this house for losing a bet?" tanya August in a weak tone in surprise after hearing her daughter's story. He did not stop thinking about his daughter's behavior and thoughts.
"Yes .., Pa. That's because this house is very messy when left by Mama. Therefore, Ayu asked Brother Leo to help clean this house," Ayu replied honestly.
"Huh, Mama deliberately did not clean and clean the house. So that you do it, itung-itung learn to be a wife. You will also have to get used to all the housework. Taking care of the house, husband, children, and managing finances. All of it for your good in the future." Mei advised Ayu.
"Om ..., Aunt. Ayu does not need to do all that because later there will be many servants who do all the work, except take care of me. That's Ayu's main task," said Leo in a calm tone because he was pledging, if he was Ayu's future husband.
Both August and May, surprised by Leo's words just now. While Ayu, furious because Leo even replied to his Mama's words with his words just now. At this time, he is staying away from the words marriage and matchmaking.
'Ish, Brother Leo should just shut up!' Ayu cursed in her heart over the behavior of her lover.
"So, are you guys serious about this relationship?" ask August who used to be prejudiced that Ayu and Leo were kissing.
"Yes, Om. We are serious about these feelings and relationships" Leo replied earnestly.
"Ta–But, Ayu ...." Mei wanted Ayu to explain everything.
"We're dating right now, Ma." Ayu felt it was better to be honest with their status because she did not want it until the matchmaking happened.
"Can't!"
Mei opposes their relationship because Ayu already has a candidate of her choice. He wanted Aprilio to be his son-in-law. For him, Aprilio is a very considerate, reliable, independent and mature figure, and responsible men. All the criteria for a suitable husband for Ayu are in Aprilio.
Ayu did not care about Mei's opposition. "Did you forget you ever fell in love? ask Ayu with a bent face.
"Well, if the business of looking for a companion of life is not careless! You must know how the quality, quantity and everything about the person who will be your companion in life!" Mei is anxious because Ayu insists on maintaining her relationship with Leo. Today, the Hadikusumo family wants to talk about the continuation of an arranged marriage between their sons and daughters.
"Well, nasehati Ayu!" pinta Mei told August who had not been seen to oppose Ayu's decision to have a serious relationship with Leo.
"Papa won't talk at length. If, according to Ayu choosing Leo is the right choice for him. Papa will not oppose their current relationship, while their relationship is still within safe limits. Do not do things outside the boundaries of a lover's relationship. If Ayu gets pregnant out of wedlock, then I will not hesitate to finish you off!" August poses a threat to Leo and warns Ayu.
"Of course, Om. Ayu also doesn't want me to kiss before we get married in three years" Leo replied.
"Married!" shout Mei. News that surprised him. May until massaging her suddenly sore head. He did not expect that Ayu and Leo had already talked about their relationship to the stage of marriage. The dream of making his best friend as besan will have difficulties.
"Three more years?" August parroted.

The news that made Mei shocked since the arrival of Leo earlier. Making her high blood disease relapse. He was immediately laid in his room and called their family doctor.
"Let Mama rest first. Maybe because his body is still exhausted makes his high blood pressure rise again" said August.
"But Mama's fine, isn't she, Pah?" asked Ayu with a trembling tone of voice. He was very sad to see his mother who used to be active in cleaning the house in the morning, now stretched weak.
"Yes. You do not feel sad so, later Mama also sad," replied August while rubbing Mei's forehead.
Ayu and Leo stand on the side of the bed where Mei lies. They looked worried from their faces. Both felt that Mei became like that because of them. August also told the two young people to immediately go to campus because they have a morning class schedule.

"Well, it looks like your mom won't approve of our relationship" Leo said as he walked to the front yard, where his car was parked.
"So it seemed like Mama was very surprised and it left her in shock. Maybe in the next few days he'll settle our relationship." Ayu gets into the car after Leo opens the door for her.
"Yes, hopefully. Be careful driving the car!" let's Leo.
"Send my greetings and apologies to Aunt Canser, for not being able to fulfill her invitation," Ayu said with her own face.
"Yes, I'll tell you." Leo also closed the door of Ayu's car after finishing installing the seat belt first.
Someone noticed them on the balcony of his house. The look of sadness on his face. Aprilio tried to let Ayu go with her choice. He will talk to his parents first. If he refuses to be betrothed to Ayu.
"I hope you're happy with the man of your choice." Aprilio looked at the clear sky where the sunlight still felt warm.
"I will seek happiness in my own way." Aprilio monologue then closed his eyes enjoying the fresh air and warmth from the sunlight.
