Alena stared at Arga's departure with a questionable face. The attitude that Arga showed no interest in Alena.
"He's gone. Then this date is over and will not continue, right? He was not interested in this matchup as it seemed. Yes, that's it." Alena sipped the rest of her tea lemon casually. Alena feels her attempt to make Arga uninterested in him has been successful. So, he could say that to his Grandfather.

Mentari illuminated part of Alena's apartment room. The girl who was still asleep was disturbed by the sunlight which then made her wake up and wriggle small. Looking at the bright bright sunlight made him sit up and look at the clock on the wall of his room.
"Well, it's gonna be this hour." Alena saw the clock was showing at 07:30. It shows that he has woken up. With lightning fast Alena headed for the bathroom then get ready to leave for the office.
Arriving at Alena's office saw Vania who had been struggling with her work. Still gasping for air, Alena sat down at her desk.
"Telat nih ye," joked Vania whose hand was still focused on the keyboard and eyes glanced briefly at Alena.
"Yes Van, slept yesterday." Alena immediately turned on her laptop and started working.
Not long after, Alena's phone rang. Alena who was working glanced briefly at her phone, it was her grandfather who called. Alena picked up the phone.
"Assalamualaikum, yes Kek. What's up?" Alena picked up her grandfather's phone while paying attention to his work.
"Vaalaikumsalam. Alena later you have to get ready. After returning home from work you came home because the Arga family wanted to propose to you immediately." Grandfather explained in a joyous tone.
"Want what Cake? Try repeat?" Alena felt her hearing was starting to be disturbed because she heard the word propose. Is it not wrong? Didn't Arga just leave yesterday and say nothing about the proposal?
"The Arga family will come home to propose to you" said Grandpa once again in a very happy tone.
"What's? Apply? The true cake. Why so suddenly." Alena was very surprised by her Grandfather's notice.
"Yes, the point is to go straight home, no need to go to your apartment. Grandpa and family are ready." Grandpa said that and then immediately turned off his phone. Alena who was still shocked threw her phone at her desk. It feels really upset, not yesterday Arga is not interested in dating and matchmaking. Why would Arga propose to her? Just be right.

Alena obeys instructions from her grandfather, finally returning home. The trip felt very short for him, but it took two hours from the office in the middle of the capital's traffic jam. Alena arrived in front of her house, with a pounding heart Alena opened the door of her house.
"Assalamualaik." Alena said her greetings while passing through the living room.
"Ma, how are you?" Alena asked about her mother while kissing her hands in reverence.
"Alhamdulillah. Yes, now that you take a shower and get ready, mama has prepared the dress that you will use in your room. Soon the Arga family may be coming" Amira asks Alena to get ready.
Alena did not say anything to her mother and went straight to her room. Alena's room is on the second floor, the pink room although rarely occupied by Alena remains neat because every day cleaned by Mama.
Alena saw there was a simple but very elegant white dress hanging pretty in her room. Alena sighed, her family really wanted Alena to get married soon as it turned out. Preparation of application is sudden like this. While wandering with her thoughts, Alena walked with a gotai towards the bathroom.
Alena wears a white dress that has been prepared by her mother. The dress fits Alena's size. Alena also put makeup on her face.
After she finished, Alena exited her room and headed towards the living room where the family usually gathers. There sat Grandpa, Papa, and Mama Alena.
"Well, if this is how pretty Grandpa's granddaughter is." Grandfather who was sitting watching Alena's appearance. Alena just kept quiet while sitting in the middle room. Alena's family has a lot of respect for Aditya, who is Alena's grandfather. Therefore, Alena and Arga's matchmaking decision is approved by Alena's parents.
"Alena, are you ready for a family?" Amira asked while holding Alena's hand.
"Ready or unprepared can't cancel today's proposal?" Alena asked Amira.
Amira who was asked back could only stare at Alena while glazed over. Actually Amira was eager to express his opinion that Alena might have her own heart patch. However, seeing no rejection from Alena and the insistence of Aditya, Amira finally gave her son's soul mate to fate where she would walk. "Hopefully this is the best match for you, son." Fauzan, Alena's father, finally makes a sound.
"Aamiin yes rabbalalamin." Tania and Romi, Aunt and Uncle Alena, agreed. The close family of Alena had gathered in her house. Despite the sudden notification, they still took the time to attend.
Fifteen minutes later there was a roar of cars in Alena's yard. Alena and the family walk to welcome the arrival of the Arga family. This application was only attended by the closest families of both parties.
Arga came with his Mother and Grandpa and their extended family. Their arrival was welcomed by Alena's family. Arga who saw Alena was stunned by the appearance of Alena tonight because it was very different from her makeup when dating her. This caught the attention of Arga. Alena's family allowed the Arga Family to sit first, after a brief introduction then began the application event between Alena and Arga.
"Good night. I Arkayudha Wijaya as uncle of Arga wanted to represent the family to convey our intention to propose Alena to be Arga's wife." Yudha started a proposal event between Alena and Arga tonight. Arga who heard it felt an unusual pounding, he thought this was a very strange thing. However, of course, this cannot be known by others. Arga covered the debaran with a flat face that was usually displayed by him. Alena felt the same way. He sighed to ease his nervousness. This one decision is a major one that will change the course of his life forever.
"Good night. I'm Romi Prastowo as Alena's uncle will be the family representative tonight." Romi replied to Yudha. "Then regarding the application that you just said, Alena as the person concerned is entitled to answer the application." Romi continued his words while diverting his neutrality before Alena.
Alena who is now the attention of everyone becomes pounding unbecoming. Alena took a breath for a moment.
"I…"
