“I was rejected Sugeng by Ki Damar, I do not deserve to be with Melati,” said Barjo who told Sugeng his best friend. 

“Already Barjo, I know that after all we are only ordinary people while they are well-respected families impossible to accept.”

“But I love Melati, and I did the inappropriate thing I had to take Sugeng's responsibility!”

“So you had time to do that, crazy you Barjo if Melati got pregnant how pitying her and Ki Damar will be furious against you.”

“Well I know that, therefore I want to propose to Melati but at the beginning I was confused Sugeng what I should do while the Tejo family had come to Melati's house and proposed to her.” 

“Already Barjo, sincerely Melati I know you both love but you will not be able to be together, hopefully Melati can be happy with the man of his choice Father,” said Sugeng who advised Barjo. 

“Alright Sugeng I will try, may Melati be happy with Tejo. May I ask you a favor Sugeng.”

“In this jewelry box is the legacy of my late mother, please give this ring to Melati and a letter,” Barjo who asked for help and took out the ring in the jewelry box belonging to her late mother.

“Good Barjo I will give this ring and letter to Melati tonight as well, I will try to knock on the window of Melati's room.”

“Do not let Ki Damar know you gave this ring to Melati.”

“There are Sugeng nights you come here, if until my Father knows you,” said Melati who warned Sugeng.

“Thank you Sugeng and tell Barjo next month exactly Friday pahing I will be married by Tejo,” said Melati while shedding tears.

“Bersabarlah jasmine if Barjo is your soul mate you will unite,” said Sugeng who calms Melati.

Suddenly a sound of people knocking on the door of Melati's room.
