After almost two hours Bian and I talked about various things, from telling memories in the past, talking about hobbies, and having time to talk about work as well, Bian finally decided to go home.

Not to go back to his own home, but to his parents in another city. Bian said the trip will take two hours if you bring your own motorbike, of course by choosing a breakthrough road.

I knocked on the door of my mom and dad's room because Bian was going to say goodbye, I told Bian to go home without saying goodbye, but Bian still insisted on saying goodbye to mom and dad.

Tonight was his first night coming home with my girlfriend status, of course Bian wanted to leave a good impression in the eyes of both my parents.

" Sir.., mother.., Bian excuse me first, sorry if you disturb the rest of the father and mother who is not feeling well" said Bian.

" Tomorrow let Bian tell Bian's friend who is a doctor to check the state of the mother, let it heal quickly" said Bian while staring at the mother who did look like a sick person. Though mama was fine, her face was a little pale and lethargic because of the expression of people waking up, so surem.

" No need Bi, mama is already healthy right ma?, besides mama has taken medicine and is not dizzy anymore" I said, refusing Bian's offer to check mama on her friend who became a doctor.

Surely many Bian friends who become successful people, such as himself who already has a restaurant at a young age and is still a bachelor. Moreover, Bian used to live with his father and mother in a big city, in a favorite school that is famous for smart and money-making children. Of course, many of his friends are becoming successful now.

" Yes, it's true said Raya, mama was healthy, had been taking medicine, and now she was not feeling dizzy at all, she said, so don't have to tell your friend the doctor made here to check on my mother's condition", Mom's voice roused me from my imagination.

" Bian boy already wants to go home yes, be careful on the road yes, it's night, do not speed, fear there are holes in the road is not visible because it is dark" said the mother told Bian.

I also explained to my parents if Bian wanted to go to his parents' house.

" Bian wants to go home to his parents Ma, not to his own house, want to spend at his parents' house he said", I explained.

" Loh, far away if you go home to your parents, instead of them living in town X?", asked papa who had just been silent listening to us chat.

Bian nodded, "Right sir, but I have to go there tonight as well", Bian replied so sure, I saw papa frowning.

" Bian wants to tell about the relationship between Bian and Raya to Bian's parents, Bian wants to ask for blessing to father and mother, as well as to Bian's father and mother at home, Bian is planning to get serious with Raya, so please give his blessing and prayers, hopefully all Bian's blessings can be realized".

I immediately spitchles speechless with Bian's confidence, as well as his determination. She was really serious to me and unceremoniously asked my parents for their blessing.

I saw my mom and dad looking at each other, and then papa looked at Bian. " Your son Bian is a good young man, may what you intend to be facilitated by the Almighty, and given fluency" Papa said. That means mom and dad agreed I had a serious relationship with Bian.

Of course I agree, because I know that my mom and dad are eager to see me married to someone who loves me, and I love them too of course. Moreover, Bian was a very good young man, where there were parents who would refuse if Bian said that to them. A gentleman who is polite and kind.

" Thank you very much for the prayer, Bian will definitely soon invite Bian's father and mother to come here to visit, Bian said assalamualaikum first".

We all answered his greetings.

Bian came out of the house after sungkem, kissing the back of papa and mama's hands. The real polite guy.

After Bian died, Mama sat in the guest room while sipping the sweet martabak that Bian had brought. It's cold because it's been put on the plate long enough. But mama seemed to really enjoy the martabak, maybe mama was hungry because since last night had not eaten dinner, and just came out of the room.

" Not ma, maybe in a moment, mama rest again if still sleepy, later let Raya lock the door if Shaka has returned" I said, but instead the mother shook her head and stared outside the house, making sure Shaka had not returned home .

" Mama's glad you've made progress with Bian, if later she asks you to get married as soon as possible, just agree Ra, mama wants you to get married to a good young man like Bian, immediately, mama doesn't want you to continue alone, later there are people who are thought to be you can't move on from him".

I know very well what you mean is Yoga. Mama wanted me to get married so Yoga wouldn't think that I still loved her, and couldn't be with another man.

Of course I understand my mother's intentions, but as a woman, of course I have to jaim, wait for Bian to bring his parents home, and follow their families when they want to hold our wedding.

When I ask Bian to rush to get married, it would be a shame if I did.

I had met Bian's father and mother, long ago, when I was a Junior High, and now I have never met again. But I know both of Bian's parents were very good to me. Maybe because they only have two boys, so when I played at Bian's house with my other friends to study group first, Bian's mother was so kind to us who were girls.

Even asking if there is a group task to be done at Bian's house continues, because Bian's mother is often lonely, if the father who used to work as a machinist is traveling.

If now anyway from what I heard from Bian, his father has been placed in the office, because of his age is not young anymore, replaced by a new employee who is young and alert.

But there is a benefit, working in the office so you can go home every day, unlike when you were a machinist, his days were spent on the train tracks.

I used to hear that Bian's mother worked as a Kindergarten teacher, but because she moved house often following her husband where she was placed to work, Bian's mother finally chose to be a housewife, in order to stay with her husband.

I also want to be like her, following her husband wherever he is. But my future husband works as a restaurant owner where I work, so I don't have to go anywhere, just need to continue to help the prospective husband to the end.

" Mama take it easy, Raya knows what mama said, now all Raya needs is a prayer from mom and dad, so that later Bian's parents agree Bian proposed to Raya as soon as possible".

Papa and mama immediately nodded, and the chatter paused as Shaka returned home.

" Evenings Ka...., look it's 10, even though tomorrow is not school, but you should go home not too late, not good teenagers your age to play around until late at night", Papa immediately lectured Shaka as Shaka entered the house.

" Yes, sorry Pa, it was fitting Shaka wanted to go home Shaka see Mas Bian's bike is still ahead, so Shaka came out again with friends. Afraid of disturbing Kak Raya chat with Mas Bian".

Shaka is so good at finding excuses so that he is not blamed, and it makes Bian the reason for his late return, you clever son, you should be a great lawyer later, very good at finding excuses.

If not a lawyer, maybe Shaka is suitable to work as a spokesperson, he is very good at talking.

" Your base, could-can make Bian mas as the reason you came home late. Want to go home and just go home, do not need support using bad reasons disrupt the chat brother Bian, you are really cool looking for excuses", my protest to Shaka.

Shaka immediately smiled wryly as I protested with his reason that brought me and Bian.

" It's been there sleeping already at night, don't forget to wash your hands and feet, your face is also washed, let's sleep well, surely you've been hanging out on the dusty side of the road, look at your face like that" I said telling Shaka to sleep.

I saw Shaka walking inside to wash his face in the bathroom. I know Shaka deliberately obeyed my words so as not to listen to the lecture from mom and dad longer.
