At an aqiqah celebration, Gunawan, Abhimanyu's father enjoys his show solemnly. He was warmly welcomed by the owner.
That's because Gunawan rarely can meet the invitation of his friends in Jakarta. He is based in Palembang as a surgeon.
After the event, Gunawan did not immediately go home to Abhimanyu. He chose to hang out with his other friends.
“Gun, do you remember when our High School often came home early just to play PS at Arnold's house?”
Gunawan laughed at his friend's words. “You still remember that, but it's fun too.”
Everyone laughed, like they were boasting about their youth mischief during High School.
“I didn't expect you to be a great doctor now.”
“Ah, you are also great, we are all great in our respective fields.”
Everyone agreed with Gunawan.
“When you marry your son, unfortunately we cannot attend.”
A middle-aged man named Arnold Keegan chimed in. “At that time I was abroad and the others had affairs that could not be left.”
“Haha ... That doesn't matter. After all, the show wasn't too lively. We only hold small thanksgivings attended by family.”
“Gun, I envy you who already have a daughter-in-law. I also want Gerald to get married soon. When I told him about it, he just laughed. I did not expect that it turns out that our children work in the same place.” Arnold recalled that when he told the son about his friend, he said that he also knew Gunawan's son, Abhimanyu.
When Arnold discussed Abhimanyu's marriage, Gerald kept asking this question, but when he demanded his son to marry soon he only said he would bring his future wife if he was appointed rector.
“Haha .. later also your son will get married if there is a woman who matches him.” All the parents discussed with each other their sons, and Gunawan was the only one who already had a son-in-law.

Who would have thought, when he arrived at a mall, Fiera had to meet again with Abhimanyu and also Almira who was in a clothing store. Fiera stops her at the entrance, but Gerald encourages her to enter.
“Fiera, you know what parents say. If you stand at the entrance and block the way, you will be difficult to get a mate,” Gerald, he has also seen the whereabouts of two colleagues in the store.
Fiera grunts. “That's a myth, sir, the truth is I'm going to get in the way of people passing by.
“That's you know.”
Fiera just shook her head.
“Haha ... did not expect we would meet again here.” Gerald said to his partner.
Abhimanyu only responded with a small nod and a flat expression. Almira laughed in agreement with Gerald. “Ya already, we are both looking for the kadonya.”
Gerald flicked his finger, then told the three students to immediately choose their prize.
“Then, we excuse you, yes, Sir.” Anisa drew Infiera's hand to get away from the lecturers, followed by Bimo who faithfully followed the two women.
“They fit perfectly, yes, Fier,” whispered Anisa, occasionally glancing towards Abhimanyu and also Almira who walked hand in hand, looking for gifts for their comrades.
Infiera only glanced at the two, but did not comment on anything.
“Do not gossip. We have to find a gift. I'm this hungry. Let's eat quickly.”
“How about we split up? You pick one item, I'm one item. How?” ask Fiera to Anisa.
“Keep him, what's his job?” Anisa pointed to Bimo who was next to her.”
“Yes, he paid for it of course. Haha..”
“Yes already, you are the part that brought his groceries.”
“OK!”
The three men soon split up. In fact, they deliberately did not tell Bimo to choose because the man was not at all clever. Bimo since yesterday only said to buy a towel couple as a gift. Just be right!
Anisa chooses to look for a pair of shoes, while Fiera chooses to look for a bag. Ms. Gina every day always carries a lot of stuff, so it looks like it will be very useful.
He scanned one by one the bags of women that were quite large, which could carry a lot of stuff. He smiled as he looked at the bag that seemed like it was suitable for Bu Gina. In addition to the right color, the size is also in accordance with his wishes. Fiera called the shopkeeper to wrap her up first as she still intended to look for the other items.
It seemed, it had been quite a while since he had bought no clothes nor any other items. His savings from writing online are still enough to buy a set of clothes as well as shoes.
“You choose clothes for work, Ma'am?” ask a shopkeeper who wants to help Fiera.
“Not, I want to buy everyday clothes only. Create lecture.”
“Ah, this part here, Ma'am. Definitely suitable for Mbakya.”
Fiera sparkled as she looked at the row of clothes that the shopkeeper had pointed at. He tried to choose a model of clothing that felt suitable for him. However, when looking at the price, it turns out the price is quite good as well.
“Wah, the clothes are nice, Ma'am, but the price does not fit in my pocket which is a student.” Fiera laughed, her shopkeeper also understood, she instantly showed another row of clothes, which might also be able to match Fiera.
The woman continued to choose, but there was indeed no suitable price. Fiera chuckles. Indeed, it seems like he should buy clothes in a traditional market, not in a mall like this. Every time he saw the price, he could only stroke his chest and wallet.
Finally, Fiera decided to resist her urge to buy clothes and approached her other two friends to pay for their chosen item.
“You're done?” asked Gerald who appeared with the grocery bag in his hand.
“Already, Sir...” Anisa glanced at Gerald's grocery bag. “Wih, I bought a lot.” They saw two sizable bags, one of which was a gift-wrapped grocery, and the other in a small bag.
“This, for you.” Gerald gave the small bags to three of his students. If viewed, it looks like it is a.” shirt
“Asiikkk, we are treated, Fier!” exclaiming Anisa was happy, she received the bags and divided them into others.
“Thank you, yes, sir, I wish you a married father.” Bimo joked, his eyes sparkling at the gray t-shirts inside the pockets his lecturers gave him.
“Haha ... take it easy, immediately,” cetus Gerald, glancing towards Fiera who also thanked him.
On the other hand, Abhimanyu and Almira also still chose what they wanted to give to Bu Gina.
“Bi, do you want to buy clothes? I'll help select it.” Long ago, when they were dating. Almira who usually helps Abhimanyu shop for his needs. He will also help choose his clothes.
“No need.” Abhimanyu's eyes glanced at the row of clothes, then stepped in that direction. He took a few clothes there.
“Bi, you want to buy me clothes? But, this doesn't suit me, like a student.” Almira laughed with Abhimanyu's taste. He forgot that he was too old to wear such clothes.
“Emm .. I bought it for my wife,” Abhimanyu said suddenly. When Infiera was choosing clothes, she actually stood not far from the woman and saw clearly which clothes she touched. Abhimanyu also heard what Fiera said, if the clothes were too expensive.
It made Abhimanyu wonder, why would Fiera not use her card to buy her clothes? In fact, Abhimanyu gave it away indeed for him to use. Eventually, Abhimanyu decided to buy it himself.
The smile on Almira's face instantly vanished, she looked awkward. “Ah, like that, yes.”
Abhimanyu said nothing more. He only chose about three sets of clothes and also shoes for his wife.
Almira felt his chest tight, looking at Abhimanyu who was so attentive to his wife. If only, when Abhimanyu asked her to marry he immediately agreed.
Perhaps at this moment, the woman Abhimanyu would care about was him. Unfortunately, Almira refused because she still wanted to continue her studies. She promised to marry if she got a doctorate. His ambitions have never changed in the past.
Although Abhimanyu had convinced himself, if after marriage he could still continue his education. However, Almira refused. Now, the rice was already porridge, the man already had a wife by his side.
