"Pa, Ma, Dek, I'd like to change a new number ...."
"Why, Mommy?" sela Arsenio before her brother finished speaking.
"Restu repeatedly texted me when I blocked every time he changed a new number." Adelia told her family in detail about her chronology when they were together.
"Well, fuck him." Arsenio's face reddened with anger.
"Holden his emotions, Dek," reprimanded Mr. Lukman.
"Yes, change the number immediately, Ma'am. Don't delay any more. Continue to tell Mas Adi not yet?" ask Sarah's mother.
"So I've called Dek Dita, he said later when Isya they want to come here, Ma," replied Adelia.
Sarah's mother nodded. "Thank God then. But papa and mama will have an open event together, may not be able to meet Mas Adi."
"Yes, it's nothing, Ma."
"Bak, if there is anything should say yes with Mas Adi. She's a future husband, anyway. Later if you are married, Mas Adi becomes the main and first sharing place. Think of it now as an exercise. Do not let Mas Adi know from others, because Mbak already told the others first," Sarah's mother advised her eldest daughter.
"Yes, Ma."
"As long as Mbak is not married, if Restu wants to sort of say the same I am, Ma'am. Yesterday Senpai Adi asked me to take better care of Mbak now." Arsenio suddenly replied.
"Yes." Yeah." Adelia nodded her head.
"You still call Dek senpai, call Mas Adi only," said Sarah's mother.
"Senpai doesn't mind, Ma. Later if it's officially become sister-in-law, I learned to call Mas." Arsenio reasoned.
"Chat while eating, do not let the preoccupation of talking to know later the dawn is not finished sahurnya." Mr. Lukman reminded his wife and two children.
"Yes, Pa," said the three of them in unison.

Adi, Dita and Rendra leave for the house of Adelia bakda Isya. They deliberately went all three so that everyone knew what Adelia was going to talk about because it seemed so important when reading the message she sent this morning.
At about half-eight in the evening, they finally arrived at Adelia's house after a 20-minute journey. Dita walked into the courtyard of the house first, behind her was Adi and her husband.
"Assalamu'alaikum," said Dita while knocking on the door.
"Wa'alaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh," replied someone from inside the house. Before long the door of the house opened and a beautiful hijab figure appeared which was none other than Adelia. He smiled in welcome of their arrival.
Tita shakes the back of Adelia's hand. They kiss each other on the cheeks and hug each other tightly. As if I hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Kangen, Dek" said Adelia.
"Same, Ma'am. The same kangen in the back?" goda Dita while glancing at her brother after breaking off a hug with Adelia.
Adelia smiled shyly without answering her sister-in-law.
"Come in, Dek, Mas Adi, Ren. Just sit down." Adelia held Dita's arm into the living room.
"Where are Auntie and Arsen?" adi asked after sitting on the sofa.
"Papa and Mama happened to have an open event together earlier. I don't know how much to go home. If Arsen is in the room," explained Adelia.
"It's all healthy, right?" ask Adi again.
"Thank God, good and healthy." Adelia answered with a smile.
"I'll be back for a second, call Arsen" said Adelia. He stood up from his seat then entered the central room. He called Arsenio as well as picked up drinks and snacks for their chatting companions later.
Adelia returned to the living room with a tray containing 5 glasses of passion fruit syrup and a plate of mayo risol. Dita helps put the glasses on the table.
"Thank you, Ma'am. It even becomes troublesome," said Dita.
"No. Come on please."
They took a glass in front of them and took a sip of two sips of passion fruit syrup as a sign of respect for the host.
"Because it's night, we'll just go straight. Adelia, what do you want to talk to me about?" tanya Adi started their conversation.
"Look, Mas." Adelia clasped both hands to overcome her nervousness.
"Restu, my former fiancee, called me again. That's why I want to change the phone number." Adelia tells him all the reasons without him being covered up.
"When did he start bothering you again?" adi asked with a serious expression.
"Sunday night when Mas Adi proposed to me," Adelia replied with a bow.
Adi sighed, trying to control himself. "Did he know I proposed to you?"
Adelia shakes. "It doesn't seem to know yet. I don't know either because we've been cut off since our engagement was cancelled."
"But, it's not strange that he just called after I proposed. Though the distance of the cancellation of your engagement is about three and a half months?" Adi begins to suspect something is wrong with everything.
"But maybe he'll just wake up, too, Mas. After marrying his wife, he did not live up to his expectations. And it just so happened that it was time for Mas Adi to propose." Dita expressed her opinion.
"Yes, can, Deck. But I suspect someone gave Restu the same report." Adi's forehead is wrinkled.
"Nearby is there no acquaintance of Restu?" adi asked Adelia and Arsenio.
"He's familiar with the environment here, Senpai. Almost all know the same Restu especially his young children because they used to come here often," replied Arsenio.
Adi nodded his head. "So there's a chance someone might tell him."
"Yes too, yeah." They agree with Adi.
"Sorry Adel, I don't mean to pry into the past and open your heart's wounds. But, I wonder what Restu is like? How do you know? And how did you guys get together?" Adi flocked Adelia with many questions.
Adelia let out a long sigh before answering all of Adi's questions. He recounts from the beginning of meeting and finally getting acquainted with Restu. How Restu chases after her until she accepts her love. He also told me about Restu's character and habits that he knew all along.
"Thank you, Adel. Sorry so open old wounds," said Adi sincerely.
"It's okay, Mom. If that is what Mas Adi needs. I know this is also for our common good. If there is anything else that Mas Adi wants to know, just ask so that there is no wedge in the heart," said Adelia.
"If I had heard from the story how he approached you and constantly contacted you with a new number, it would not seem like he was the kind of person who gave up easily to get his wish. So it's possible that after you change the number, he'll do something to get your attention again." Adi revealed his analysis.
"Well, it's rich psychopath dong" said Arsenio.
"No. Psychiatric disorders may be, but not psychopaths. He could be obsessed with your brother. I'm sure there's someone around here who's been Restu's spy. He's still not willing to let go of your brother even if he already has a wife." Adi returned to his analysis.
"Kok, I'm so scared, Mom." Adelia looked anxious and agitated. Dita who sat beside him tried to calm down by embracing the shoulder of his future sister-in-law.
"Then what should we do, Mom?" ask Rendra who finally made a sound.
"We have to strategize" Adi replied.
