"Until 10 years I will be faithful to wait for you" Aji said gently, looking into Vania's eyes.
"Sister isn't asleep yet?" ask Vania to switch the conversation.
"I'm not sleepy, if you?" ask Aji back.
"Same brother, I'm not sleepy."
"You're here for the holidays?" ask Aji again
Vania nodded her head, "Yes, sister, I've only been on vacation here for a month."
"How long did you study in Aussie?"

"Seriously?" ask Vania.
"Did my face look like I was joking?" Vania sees no lies on Aji's face.
"If you are serious about what you said, I am waiting for the arrival of brother Aji and his sister's family to come home" Vania smiled. At once Aji's eyes sparkled to hear Vania's words.
"Really?" Vania nodded quickly, as Aji was about to hug Vania he immediately paled because the sound of the friend who was daunted to be his sister-in-law surprised him.
"Ekhem! Not yet a mahram, marriage used to be a hug!" sindir Irsyan while folding both of her hands in front of her chest. Aji instantly clumsily and scratched his nape. It turned out that Irsyan and Aurora were peeping at the two of them.
"Cie no longer be single," Aurora's tease makes Aji and Vania wrong behavior until their faces until their ears are reddened.
"What the hell is Ra!" vania was ashamed.
"Since when have you been close to me?" ask Irsyan.
"From six years ago, Vania was still in 3rd grade High School" explained Aji.
"Kok I don't know? Pinter really yes you are backstreet, until I am a brother even friends do not know if in fact you are close," said Irsyan still can not believe if the cousin is close to his own best friend.
"Yes, how do you want to know, you want our relationship to be hidden from the public" said Aji who revealed the reason why her and Vania's relationship was hidden. Irsyan stared at Vania.
"Yes, how else, sister, if it is found out that surely the brother and other friends of the brother tease and mock us," said Vania, pursing her lips.
Irsyan let out a long sigh, "Okay sister accept your excuse."
"And to Lo Ji." Aji looked at Irsyan.
"Why Syan?"
"If you're really serious as good as me, you have to promise to look after, protect and love him wholeheartedly, you never hurt him. If you dare hurt him, you will face me!" order Irsyan with a serious face. Vania's eyes were back in tears, she was moved to hear the words of her cousin's sister.
"Gue promise Syan. I will protect and love him with all my heart. If I dare to hurt Vania kill me, I'm sincere. But if I really hurt Vania, I mean I'm the stupidest person in the world" Aji replied with a face no less serious. Vania's cry broke upon hearing Aji's words earlier, and Aurora quickly embraced and calmed Vania down. Irsyan smiled, she saw the seriousness inside her friend.
"Gue believes in taking care of my sister, I have your blessing," Irsyan said, patting Aji on the shoulder.
"Thanks Syan," replied Aji breathing a sigh of relief. One person has approved it, just waiting for the blessing of his family and the other Vania family.
After talking outside for a long time, the four of them decided to go back inside, because the outside temperature was getting colder.
"A good sleep is a prospective wife" said Aji who drove Vania up to the door. His hand while stroking Vania's cheek.
"Sir Aji was also sleeping soundly," Vania replied blushing in embarrassment, a red tinge reappearing on her cheek making Aji anxious to see her.
"Yes, now you're in the room."
"Yes, brother." Vania went into her room, after Vania closed the door, now it was Aji's turn to enter her room which was next to Vania's room.
"Mas," call Aurora who is in Irsyan's arms.
"Hem?" Irsyan's eyes that had been closed again opened to hear the call of the wife.
"I want to eat strawberries" Aurora's pinta.
"Huh? The strawberries? Where is it here, dear." Irsyan begins to get confused if his wife has craved something.
"There is Mas, the person I have been searching for said here there is a strawberry garden really," added Aurora.
"Oh yeah?"
Aurora nodded her head, "Yes Mas, so I and the baby want" Aurora asked as she stroked her stomach.
"But tomorrow, baby? Now the garden is closed," said Irsyan gave understanding.
"Okay Mas, promise you'll buy me right out of the garden tomorrow?"
"I can't promise, baby, you know I'm working tomorrow." Aurora's face instantly changed from glee to scowl. He let go of his embrace and turned his back to Irsyan.
"Yes it's already gapapa." Irsyan let out a rough sigh, knowing that his wife was sulking.
"Honey to turn your back on Mas anyway? Face it dong!" Irsyan wanted to turn Aurora's body around, but Aurora threw Irsyan's hand from her arm.
"Don't hold-hold!"
"Well don't sulk dong darling, Mas can't go buy you it because it works at 8 o'clock while surely the strawberry garden is not it at that hour. What if you and Vania go there?" irsyan.
Aurora thought that what Irsyan said was true and that she should not be selfish thinking only of herself. Aurora turned back to face her husband.
"Iya Mas tomorrow let me and Vania go there, sorry to always bother Mas."
"No dear, Mas who apologizes for not being able to obey your will" replied Irsyan while removing Aurora's hair that covered her eyes. Aurora hugged and hid her face in the chest of Irsyan's field.
"No, no. Mas. Mas was always a husband who was on standby for me, thanks to the attention and affection of Mas all this time, I love you Mas," said Aurora made Irsyan smile to hear it.
"I love you too my wife and my life," Irsyan replied as she kissed Aurora's head repeatedly.
