The lives of Kinan and Dude are arguably harmonious in their households. Mutual trust, mutual acceptance and open to each other make them a complementary husband and wife.
But there's something that makes Dude uneasy, it's about Hana.
"Mas, what's wrong with you?" ask Kinan.
Dude looks to sigh.
"Drink the coffee first."
Kinan gave a cup of coffee without sugar, as usual.
"Tomorrow we'll go to Jogja, Ki. We're on a plane tonight. Hopefully in the morning we can follow Hana's proposal."
"Hm, okay Mas. But, why do I notice Mas moody. After returning from Bandung, after receiving a phone call, Mas became quiet often," Kinan said.
"I'm sorry, Ki. I actually thought about Hana."
"Why is it?"
"So our time in Bandung, Hana called. He cried, I haven't told you because I was so busy in Bandung. You know, just accompany you I don't have time, until you have to walk alone."
Kinan rubbed the back of her husband's hand, with a faint smile. "It's okay, Mom. What happened to Hana? What happened and why did she cry?"
"Hm, Hana said she didn't want to get married."
"Well you say that, Mom? But Hana give me no reason?"
"Hana said she didn't feel good about rejecting the man's proposal. But, he himself did not wish to get married. His trauma may have started to diminish, he had already started to weld everything. But she was afraid to start a household. He didn't want to disappoint the man because he felt inferior." Dude explained while feeling claustrophobic himself. Now his sister doesn't even believe in herself.
"Oh Allah, if so then may it not be if Kinan tries to talk to Hana? It's possible that Hana would listen, receive input from Kinan, Mas."
Dude smiled, he could finally breathe a little sigh of relief. "Can, Honey. I want to ask you, but fear you object."
"Why mind? Hana Mas's sister, means Kinan's sister as well. Despite her age, Hana is more mature than Kinan."
Dude rubbed the top of Kinan's head. "You keep Hana, Ki."
"Yes, Mas. Kinan tried to talk. Kasian Hana, she shouldn't be. He has a privilege, because of that there are men who really sincerely love him. But, Hana might just still not be convinced, need to be reassured a little," Kinan said.
"Yes, Ki. I hope Hana will listen, I want her to be happy too. Someone is looking after him, Reyhan also definitely wants to have a father figure."
Kinan smiled rubbing Dude's cheeks. "God willing, Kinan will pray the best for Hannah."

"My arrival to and my pack here, meant to connect the initial chat in the last month. I, Bastian Pratama seriously intend to propose to Raihana's mother." Bastian said it with a calm attitude, trying not to be nervous even though in reality he was nervous.
Hana just bowed. It was once in his dream. A good man came, expressing his good intention to propose. That's all he never got before. Now the good man came to express his desire to challenge him.
"I'm not a perfect man. But, I want to be someone who is as good as possible, as much as I can to accompany Hana, both in joy and sorrow. I've been married before, but my wife passed away, it's all been short. It wasn't easy for me to recast the desire to get married. But, upon seeing Hana, that desire appeared quite strong within me."
Hana's heart pounded strongly. Those words, why are they so deep. How could? He and Bastian have not met for a long time. Is there anything like that? While the relationship with Bagus that runs long enough just does not end happily.
Hana's foster father just smiled at Bastian's words.
Likewise with Pakde Bastian who is more silent, letting Bastian express his intentions first.
"Thank you, Bastian. I as Hana's Father, leave everything to Hana. But, I really salute Nak Bastian for being so outspoken in good faith. If you can suggest to Hana, you can consider the wishes and good intentions of Nak Bastian," said Mr. Rahman.
Everything there, including the Dude and Kinan was just waiting for the answer Hana gave.
"I only connect Bastian's words, as his pakde. I also need the opinion of the other Nak Hana family, so Nak Hana's family has everyone left the decision to Nak Hana?" ask Pakde from Bastian named Pakde Hasan.
The dude coughed softly. He then looked at Bastian with a faint smile. "I'm Hana's brother, I'm her Mas. I just want to ask Bastian, are you sure you want to propose to my sister? Accept all his shortcomings and advantages, take care of him with all my heart later, and I do not want you half-and-half," said Dude asserted that he did not want the thing that Hana had experienced, Hana, happened again.
Bastian returned Dude's smile. He nodded confidently.
"I am ready and I will try my best, I sincerely want to marry Hana. I know that everyone has advantages and disadvantages. I want Hana to know too, I have many shortcomings.There is no ivory that does not crack, nor do I. But, I saw Hana so fiercely, I felt admiration for Hana. I want to learn a lot from Hana, and I want to take care of her."
Dude nodded, he felt Bastian's sincerity. "Thank you."
"For Hana, I just want you to believe that everyone deserves to be happy. No exception for you. So, do what you feel, it's the best thing for you, and you're happy living it." Dude looked at Hana, her sister smiled stiffly, then she started to raise her face looking at everyone, one by one, who was in front of her.
"thank you. Mas Bastian, I am very flattered because of the arrival and sincere intentions of Mas. I feel who I am, why me, and what good am I?"
Hana touched the edge of her eyes, she involuntarily cried.
Kinan who was right next to Hana, tried to calm Hana down. Kinan rubbed the back of Hana's hand, smiled at her, nodding once hinting that Hana could definitely follow her own heart.
"Hana wants to ask one thing about Mas Bas, is it okay?"
Bastian nodded. "Just ask, it's okay."
Hana nodded, she looked at Reyhan, then wiped back her tears.
"Mas Bas already knows about my past?"
Bastian already knew Hana would ask about that. Since then, she also knew what made Hana look sad.
