Riko smiled as she pulled up her chair to start breakfast together with her family.

"Gala... you don't know your sister if it's kasmaran again that's it, the luggage is neat and on." said Bu Fina the mother also teased the youngest.

"Oh... Brother knows, you would want to meet the sweet one huh? Hayoo..." Gala mocked her sister to make Riko blush.

So Mama said to Riko.., if your sister wants, now ask for marriage even mama is ready. The only problem is, your sister is hard to actually get married. I don't know what kind of girl to find. Though my mother has often wanted to know Kak Gala with her son Temen mama who is also a member of the board. Haven't seen the picture yet, have been playing refuse aja." said Ms. Fina while spending her morning breakfast at the dinner table.

"Sabar Mama... soon Gala also brought the future daughter-in-law of Mama's dream.." Gala's answer seemed to give a breath of fresh air to Bu Fina who had long wanted to see her eldest son was soon married.

"Oh yeah? Seriously Brother?" ask Riko excitedly.

"Alhamdulillah.mama curious, what kind of girl, the choice of this Lecturer. Be careful not to make mama not interested in your choice... Look at your sister! He's the most excited about you wanting a marriage spit. You know why?" ask the mother to Gala.

"Kak Gala knows it, even if she wants to, now Riko's marriage is ready!" said Riko simultaneously making a rowdy at the dining table, especially the mother.

"Rikooo???" Ms. Fina was surprised even though she knew her son was joking.

"You're still in college where you can get married before you graduate. Mama does not agree. After all, you can't sassy your sister either. You will be born later, marriage must also wait for your brother first dong.." continued Bu Fina.

"Lho... Why are you still in college, Ma? Shah... shah...ay, as long as the terms and conditions of marriage are met? If for Kak Gala's business, Kak Gala said he wanted to bring his sister-in-law as soon as possible. So yaa... Riko can dong, spit on Kak Gala.." said Riko joking but serious. He deliberately wanted to see the expression of the face of the mother would be excited Denger Riko asked for marriage.

"Rikooo.

"Mamaaa. can anyway." Riko won't budge.

While Gala, she just smiled looking at the debate between her mother and her sister.

The father came and sat down with them at the dinner table and said, "What the hell is it? Early in the morning it was a meeting at the dinner table did not rhyme papa." said his father.

"This is Pa, she said Gala was ready to bring a future daughter-in-law to this house" Ms Fina told her husband.

"Sister..already, hunted. Riko sure it does not take long Miss Alena must have accepted the proposal of her sister." said Riko, thinking that Gala meant Alena.

"Who did you say Riko? Alena's? Alena your lecturer? Gala's close friend Pak Sukandar who also met Papa in the House of Representatives?" ask the father.

"Yes Allah... Gala... So she's the girl you mean? Why didn't you say it a long time ago? Papa and Mama Alena have often asked you. Mama was going to say but was afraid of being rejected again just like you already are. You know, from the first time we went home to apply for him." Miss Fina added.

Gendhis just came home from taking Bu Sari to the market. While parking his motorbike, he saw a car parked neatly in his yard. He and his mother entered through the kitchen door. From the middle room, it sounded that Mr. Ratno was chatting very familiarly as if they had known each other for a long time. Ms. Sari came out to meet the guest. But after a while Bu Sari then called Gendhis.

"Gendhis.there are guests looking for you, Nduk!" call Bu Sari to Gendhis who is unpacking a bag containing groceries in the kitchen.

"Guests? Who, Mom. Your schoolmate used to say. Name, Rii... Rii.." said Ms. Sari.

"Riko meant mom?" gendhis guessed.

"Well that's it. Riko... Is it really your old High School friend? How come you never told me about mom?" ask Ms. Sari.

"Mother... Gendhis schoolmates are many, the time of Gendhis should tell all one by one?" replied Gendhis.

"Yes, too, Nduk, but he seems like a good boy. I had a long conversation with him earlier when you were gone." suddenly Mr. Ratno was behind the mother and the child.

"Mas Riko why are you here, sir?" gendhis asked curiously, for as he had known all along. "The man sometimes likes to act recklessly without telling first. A little example today. Suddenly he came without any news. Bring a pile of souvenirs in the middle room. Who else would have brought those luxury items if not him? It must have been for the bribe of the Father with Mother." said Gendhis in his heart.

"Obviously the intention is good, to be in touch. As a good host we should also welcome our guests well anyway, right ma'am?" said Mr. Ratno.

"Yes.it's right Pakne.." replied Bu Sari briefly.

"Gendhis, please bring the same hat in the wardrobe yes, soon enter the dzuhur time." pinta Pak Ratno deliberately so that Genthis does not hear the conversation with Bu Sari.

"Well, sir." replied Gendhis as he walked to his parents' room.

While in the kitchen, Mr. Ratno appeared to be seriously talking to his wife.

"What's up with Pakne? It seems serious." asked Bu Sari curiously.

"Look, Mom..." Mr. Ratno slightly lowered his voice so that Gendhis would not hear his words.

"Mom... have you found a guest outside of your friend Gendhis? What do you think Mom? ask Mr. Ratno.

"What about, sir? Mother's people also met her for the first time where I know to sir." replied Ms. Sari.

"Yes, too, yaa... "

Mr. Ratno expressed the intention of Riko's arrival this afternoon is none other than asking permission on both parents of Gendhis to be allowed to establish a relationship with his daughter. Not for dating, but she wants to be serious. If Gendhis doesn't mind, Riko will bring both of his parents to propose to Gendhis. If Gendhis wills and his parents agree, Riko will marry Gendhis. Riko has also clearly told about the origin of his family as much detail as possible to show his seriousness.

"So so, Bune. What do you think Bune is?" mr. Ratno said after explaining the intention of Riko's arrival to his wife.

"Oh.. so that's it. if the mother is yes, from the father's story it seems the child is not playing games. But back again, it was all in the hands of Gendhis. We've already made a decision that's not good for our daughter. Let's not fall in the same hole. We let Gendhis decide for himself his future. If Gendhis is happy, I will be happy too, Pakne.." The final decision from Ms. Sari.

"Yes, too, Mom... Well then, let's give it time for Gendhis to decide for himself whether he will accept the man or what we don't know yet." replied Mr. Ratno.

After she finished deliberating, Mother and Father then went out to the living room to continue their conversation with Riko.
