''The condition is that Devan must move to a branch company for three years. If within three years your relationship is okay you can get married. But if your relationship breaks up in the middle of the road mama will choose a mate for you Cha, said Mama Luna looked at Chaca.
''This makes no sense Ma.'' Chaca was disappointed by the terms Mama Luna gave.
''Why doesn't it make sense? Mama just wants to see the loyalty of you two. If within three years your relationship is fine you can marry unconditionally, said Mama Luna. Chaca did not end up thinking with the conditions given Mama Luna is very heavy. What if Devan returns to the branch company Devan also returns with his ex-lover and leaves him.
''No Ma, try to give me another condition. It's too heavy for me. I can't be far from Devan Ma.'' Chaca pleads.
''What the hell are you Cha. It's only been three years, Cha. No need to make that cake. Devan was just ordinary, said Mama Luna annoyed to Chaca who continued to deny his terms.
''Udahlah Cha, It's only three years.'' Devan reassured Chaca.
''But Van I don't want to be away from you, ''' said Chaca with his face bent.
''If we are a match, we must be united, '' said Devan. Chaca kept imagining things that were not-nothing.
''Ma how do my assistants in the office keep Devan?'' ask Chaca.
''Mama will find you a new assistant. You take it easy, said Mama Luna standing up and leaving them both.
Chaca hugged Devan very tightly. It seems he refuses to let Devan go. But it's true Devan said that if they were fooled they would unite. After a long chat with Devan, Devan pamit returned to the contract because he made it early in the morning he would leave for the branch company. It will start from zero again working there.
''You must pledge allegiance to me, '' said Chaca softly, she desperately held back her tears.
''Yes. You are also dong. It was just me, '' said Devan stroking Chaca's long hair.

That morning at Wiratama Bora's family home, Chaca and Mama Luna were having breakfast.
''You're not going to the office?'' mama Luna asked to break the silence because Chaca had been silent since.
''No Ma, I am still sick, '' Chaca said without looking at her.
''What pain, I think it's healed, '' said Mama Luna.
''Hearts at the lover''' said Chaca ketus.
''Based on young people today.'' Mama Luna sneered.
''Mama will find an assistant for you to replace Devan, Mama Luna said again.
''Anybody who looks above average. Chaca did not want to yes if her assistant was ugly, said Chaca.
''Just relax. Leave everything to Mama. Mama knows your criterion, '' said mama smiling smirk.
The flashback
''Hallo.'' Greet the middle-aged woman on the phone.
''Hallo Luna, How are you?'' ask someone on the phone.
''My news is fine. How's your family doing? I heard that your son just graduated, said Mama Luna.
''Really Na. Ronald also graduated. How was our plan at that time. So right?'' ask someone behind the phone.
''I am so-so. Here's Ren right now I'm looking for a personal assistant for Chaca. You have any acquaintances?'' ask Mama Luna.
''What if Ronald is Chaca's assistant, let them get closer. It is also time to get to know Na, said Mama Reni.
''Nice idea, Ren. Thanks yeah. You are my best friend, said Mama Luna.
''Yes Na equally. Soon we will be better, said Mama Reni.
After being satisfied with the conversation, they finally ended their conversation.

''For Ma, Pa.'' Greet a man with a tall white stature.
''Dear on, '' said papa and his mother.
They had breakfast without anyone talking. Silent mood.
''Ehm. Ronald has someone to talk to you about, said Papa Sanjaya who looks serious.
''Speaking what pa?'' ask Ronald.
''How Child. Actually before you are in the stomach Mama you have been betrothed, said Papa Sanjaya carefully.
Uhuk uhuk uhuk, Ronald choked on his food for listening to his father.
''No need to joke Pa.'' Ronald could not believe what his father said.
''Seriously dad. You've been betrothed by a woman named Chalondra Athalia Bora. You familiar?'' ask Papa Sanjaya.
''I don't know him. But the name is not foreign, '' said Ronald flat.
''When Chaca is still in Luna's stomach, your Oma Almarhumah and Chaca oma are eager to become besan. So at that time we agreed to match our children. We all thought Luna gave birth to a boy but we were all wrong it turned out that Luna gave birth to a daughter, whereas you had no signs of appearing in your Mama's belly yet, Though the marriage of Mama and Papa before the wedding of his mother and father Chaca...
''So he's older than me?'' ronald asked never mind who would be betrothed with him aged on it.
''Yes. Your age is 5 years apart, said Papa Sanjaya.
''Whattt??? Papa don't joke. It's not funny at all Pa.'' Ronald did not think through his papa's words.
''Let papa finish the story Papa,'' said Papa Sanjaya flat as if he did not want to be denied.
''At that time we decided to cancel your match. But your oma is still insistent on matching you up. We had to agree to this match. And finally after all this time, you are present in our lives, said Papa Sanjaya.
''But Pa why should I?'' ask Ronald.
''It's not that you're the only granddaughter of the oma. So who else if not you, said Mama Reni.
''Chaca is a good boy Ro, since your age he's been living by his papa for a long time. He has to take care of the company alone. His mother was busy taking care of his papa restaurant. And he was also once tricked by his former lover. So please for now papa please follow your late home request. Take care and protect him, said Papa Sanjaya.
''Pa, but I just finished college. I still want to go back to college, Ronald said.
''You can still go to college and work Ro. Now is the time for you to take care of your soul mate, said Mama Reni. Ronald massaged his forehead because he felt throbbing.
''You can work in the company Bora Group began to besuk. Being Chaca's assistant, said Papa Sanjaya.
''Gosh this plan let alone this, I used to be the most anti with the girl who was above me. But now I'm in a match with a girl who's over my age even further. I could be crazy.'' Ronald's mind ruffled his hair violently.
''How's Ro?'' ask Mama Reni.
''But what if Ronald doesn't match Chaca?'' ask Ronald.
''Papa give you 3 years. If you do not feel for each other you do not need to get married, said Papa Sanjaya.
