"What do you mean, Galang?" asked Mr. Aji a little angry because only this time he heard a rejection. Moreover, the rejection was related to his daughter.
Papa Baskoro is of course nervous to fear if the benefits he had been waiting for vanished just because of Galang's words. Soon Papa Baskoro is looking for a way to distract Mr. Aji and should be able to talk to Galang to think about Mr. Aji's offer which of course is also for the good of Galang himself in the future.
"Ah, we'd better have dinner soon, Mr. Aji. We can talk again later. Galang ... hurry Serly to the dining room. Our guests must have been hungry," said Papa Baskoro who actually wanted to be very angry at Galang. But he must endure.
"No, I want to hear Galang's explanation. Do you think Serly is less beautiful, Galang?" asked Mr. Aji still with a pressing tone.
"Of course it's pretty, isn't it, Galang?" papa Baskoro again interrupted.
"I want to hear from him, Mr. Baskoro!" said Mr. Aji who did not like his words on the sidelines since then by Papa Baskoro.
"It's not so, sir. All women are basically beautiful in the eyes of the right man. As for me, I don't think I'm the right man for Serly, sir. I hope there are men more appropriate than me for Serly" Galang replied still with his decency.
"Groof, enough!" papa Baskoro Sentak.
"Pa! I told you I can't, right? Why don't you know Papa with Galih, Papa's favorite child! Why should it be a cross?" Galang's gaze was very clear that he had been unanimous with his decision. But Papa Baskoro looks increasingly angry.
"So you refused to marry Serly?" ask Mr. Aji again who does not care about the quarrel of the parents and the child.
"It seems like what I said earlier that say-" Not yet Galang finished talking. Next to his cheek was painful and hot due to a slap from Papa Baskoro. Galang also looked at the Papa without caring about his reddened cheeks.
"Pa!" mami Laras. But not ignored by her husband.
"You were educated to be devoted to parents, Galang! But what, huh? What is your reply as a child? Five years Papa patiently took your attitude, and now ... now you want to make this Papa ashamed? Is it hard to say yes? Serly's a fine woman and from a respectable family. You're not just insulting Papa but you're going to kill Papa slowly, huh?" papa Baskoro who really ignited his emotions.
"Papa, patience, Pa!" Mami Laras tries to calm her husband down, but is instead on rough tepis by Papa Baskoro.
"This is also because of Papa," Galang replied still in a flat tone. He had no grudge at all because of Papa's actions just now. If Galang wanted to, he could also avenge the Papa's blow like the previous incident.
Mr. Aji is still flat-faced. Again he did not care enough about the quarrel he had just seen.
"I asked once more, so ... You rejected my son Serly, Galang?" ask Mr. Aji with great emphasis.
"If Mr. Aji still wants to be Mr. Baskoro, in this house there is still one boy whose achievements are quite proud of Mr. Baskoro. I'm really sorry if my words offended Mr. Aji and his family. I really can't make Serly my wife because other than my own wife I need a faith booster."
Galang. Not regretful, but as a form of respect for Mr. Aji also Serly who was seen since was eager to talk.
Sure enough, when the family room was silent for a few seconds, Serly immediately stepped closer to Galang. He was standing right on the side of the barn.
"Serly, we're home! Don't humble yourself in front of men who don't have the same feelings as you." Mr. Aji immediately pulled the child's hand away from Galang.
"Pa, Serly wants to"
"Enough! We're going home now!" Serly was downcast with a wet cheek.
"Sir, we can talk again. Let's sit down first"
"Forget about our cooperation, Mr. Baskoro!" After that there was nothing else that could prevent the departure of the Pangestu family.
Galang itself is still in the same position, while Mami Laras immediately took cold water to compress Galang's cheeks due to worry. Papa Baskoro is still trying to contain his near-peaking anger.
"Pa, let's go now. Galang make sure that Galang will not come here again," said Galang finally spoke up and turned to look at the Papa who was bowed with both hands clenched.
"Galang, let Mami compress your cheeks first, son. Fear of swelling!" said Mami Laras trying to stick a cloth on the cheek of Gakang. Unfortunately Galang brushed off the hand of the stepmother. "Galang, Mami's really worried. Just a second, hm?" persuaded Mami Laras still trying to stick a cold cloth to compress the cheeks Galang.
"No need! Thank you for the worry. I say goodbye, assalamu'alaikum." Galang also began to step past the Papa who had not changed his position.
"Grass, you crazy?" exclaiming Galih that appeared from another room. Actually since then Galih listened to the conversation as well as the quarrel between Galang and Papa Baskoro.
Hearing Galih's call, Galang stopped his footsteps and turned back to look at Galih.
"Why? Elo want to interfere? Better not to be pretentious to care," said Galang.
"Lang, relax! You are too far away from us. Are we not brothers? Think of Lo's future, Papa's mind bladders elo, Lang!" now Galih's tone of speech is different from usual.
But Galang instead interpreted that Galih was only looking for the attention of his Papa. Galang also singled out a smile staring at Galih who looks caring which is like really playing a good brother.
"Ck, it's Papa lo, Galih. Only his son, not me. Next, I want to find my own happiness .. without you!"
Galih changed his face and walked closer to Galang. A few seconds later, Galang got several blows on his body including the cheeks until the corners of his lips were bleeding.
"Depart, stop!" shouted Mami Laras about to break up. But Galang even replied to Galih's punch and there was a physical fight between Brother and stepbrother.
