"Cieeee who wants to marry, but already likes."
Nova's mocked Ferdi who just arrived at the office. Ferdi smiled with red blushing cheeks.
"Forced but doyan."
Ferdi continued the joke from his friend. So Nova and the others are now chuckling.
"Udah is comfortable kidding doi." Nova said as he stared at Jordan and Sean.
"Yesterday, morose mulu. I'm after the debt collector."
Jordan and Sean laughed. Ferdi is now starting to turn on his MacBook.
"What percentage are you preparing, bro?" jordan asked Ferdi.
"What preparation?" Ferdi asked back.
"Lamaran lo."
"It's 90%" replied Ferdi.
"Just as the proposal goes, I'm coming. Let if Clara's family is songong, I'm the same Sean can pites his head."
Ferdi laughed at all that.
"Yes, ntar lo ahead deh." said Ferdi.
"Or not Fer, as well as Jordan's evil intentions."
Sean was in the conversation.
"Evil?. How mean?" ask Ferdi wonder.
"He said that ntar Ferdi proposal, told to bring a lot of cake. Want to change squishy with him." said Sean again.
"Yes, too, great idea." Ferdi looked happy.
"Hmm, you're the same."
Sean is the head of Ferdi. The employees of the start-up continued to laugh, until then Nath came. They were silent and sitting at their desks.
"Why are you on?. I came straight on standby then?. I feel like the headmaster is not me."
Nath looked in wonder at all of them. Sometimes he comes to want to talk or just come to joke. But the sense of reluctance that still owned Ferdi and his friends, often make Nath not invited in some situations.
"Some, it's time to work, sir."
Nova saved everything.
"Oh, okay. Happy working everyone."
"Welcome to work, Mr. Nath."
They all said simultaneously, Nath soon disappeared behind the door of his room.

At a school.
"Why Arvel?"
One of Arvel's friends, Randy, asked another friend when they noticed Arvel from a distance.
"Why what the hell?" Angga asked, followed by Iqbal's gaze.
"Yes, he's been on the scene for two days" Randy said.
Angga and Iqbal sat at each other.
"Arvel is the shape already in them." chirped Angga.
"Yes, but not this quiet either. He still joins us in the days, chatting normally even ironically. But these two days he's quieter, and he's kind of aloof."
"Yes too." Iqbal agreed with Randy.
The three students pay attention to Arvel.
"So much, who knows if there's a problem."
Randy.
"Arvel fell in love times, bro." Iqbal.
"Yes, yeah?"
Randy who was about to get closer to the Arvel, now a little silent.
"Tell me, ask me a yuk." he said later. They also approached Arvel.
"Bro, why you?"
Randy went straight to the point.
"Why what?" Arvel asked his friend.
Angga chimed in Randy's speech. Now Arvel took a deep breath and cast his gaze into a corner.
"Nothing" he said later.
"Don't lie to you."
Randy did not believe his friend's confession. Because Arvel is not the type of child who can lie, especially to his closest friends. Arvel again breathed.
"Mending lo stories to us, rather than harbored alone. You like girls, right?" Iqbal suddenly charged.
"No."
"Continue?"
Arvel was silent for a while. Until then,
"I want to get married again." The teenager was finally honest.
"Huh?" His three friends were surprised.
"Seriously?" ask them simultaneously.
Arvel nodded, but one of his friends was enthusiastic.
"Are we invited?. Eat dong later."
A piece landed on Iqbal's head. Randy and Angga compactly code their friend, not to look happy. Arvel's face is not like that at the moment.
"Gue was wrong, Vel. Sorry, because I thought you wanted a new father."
Again and again Arvel let out a long sigh.
"The problem is I don't know, I guess who I want to marry. How are they, good or not. I'm afraid I'm just being used by doang." Arvel dropped a look down.
"What if you don't know yet?"
Randy asked again, and Arvel shook her head.
"Gue's afraid I'm wrong, Ran. Regardless of whatever interests behind the marriage it will be."
Arvel's three best friends stared at each other, then they tried to comfort the boy.
"Involve us, Vel. If stepfather lo songong, we can brush."
Angga said, followed by another nod. Arvel could only reply with a faint smile.

Not much different from the older brother, Anzel was now thinking of the mother. But he did not tell this to anyone, but he kept it to himself.
It's just that it is now affecting his performance on the field. As a basketball star of course this is a question of many people. Why Anzel who used to play good, now actually looks so ugly.
"Why again, bro?"
One of Anzel's teammates began to ask. Anzel then relented by stopping the game.
"Gue's gonna take a break, bro. I'm not feeling well." Dusty.
"Oh, pantesan lo mainnya ngaco. Take a break first, to the UKS. Let you give me treatment.
"Yes, easy."
Anzel left the field and headed to class.

Afternoon.
Ferdi returns to the Dojo accompanied by Jordan and Sean. The disease of people who exercise is so. Once back training from lazy who is not stumbling, in the end will be diligent back slowly.
Because a person's body charges to continue exercising again and again. That day they were bushes, bushes in one of the rooms. To cause some bones to feel pain. But everything feels so good.
Ferdi can reduce his tension in the face of proposals and marriages later. For want any amount of love for the woman to be married. Men are usually nervous and scared. Afraid that at the show later they could not look calm.
"Udah first, bro. Want to lift me up like."
Jordan was joking, because he looked very tired.
"Gue laper." said Sean.
"Yes, eat yuk ahead" asked Ferdi.
Jordan and Sean nodded. So after drinking water and resting for a while, the three of them went out.
There they headed to the usual merchants. But then Sean elbowed Ferdi.
"Why?" ask Ferdi wonder.
"Lo noh's grandfather."
Sean pointed towards Axel who seemed to be sitting pensively, while throwing a gaze in a direction. Ferdi caught the sadness in the teenager's eyes. He soon approached in that direction.
