Ami took off the bag she was carrying and dropped her back on the living room sofa. Close your eyes with your feet hanging on the edge of the sofa to the right and rocking. Today is beautiful because it received a photo of Akbar when he received an award at the State Palace. Also because of the attitude of legowo Almond who again invited friends.
"Cape huh?" Sekar's mother was sitting near Ami's head which was closing her eyes.
Ami opened her eyes. Pulling the body until the head turns up to the lap of the mother and sleep in a tilted position. "Brain pack because lessons start to solid, multiple tasks. Next week start PTS. Class 12 can't play games. There will be many group tasks. Just the announcement of the schedule, others have been complaining, on stress," he reported while giggling.
"That stress is because it is forced. Learning is a burden. If sincere, it can be faced calmly and enjoy." Ibu Sekar gave a gentle swab on Ami's head.
"I'll enjoy it because the key is in Mom."
"meaning?" Ibu Sekar looked down at Ami's expression that looked comfortable sleeping in a slanted position.
"Mother, don't hang on to the answer. I'm not married to Akbar. I said I can date if it is ready for marriage. And I'm ready for marriage, Mom. That's why you dare to decide to date. I was worried about Mom. Sometimes the focus of learning, suddenly the mind of the mother ngerestuin no yes. Restuin yes ma'am, yes. Let me enjoy school."
"Pinter deh diplomacy. The max is smooth." Sekar's mother thrust a finger into Ami's waist. Makes the flowers tickle.
"I have to be patient. I need to assess first the seriousness of Ami and Akbar. If Ami so not focused on learning, the mother will firmly give the answer now. Will not ngizinin Ami marry young."
Ami suddenly woke up and sat down while staring at Ibu Sekar. "Disrupt the focus of learning. I'm santuy. Patience waiting for Mom's answer. Just got me hooked on Mom."
Sekar's mother smiled faintly at Ami's panic.
"Mom, Tepah Puput same Aul Tea has been told not yet? A Zaky too."
"Udah. Except Zaky hasn't. It will be later."
Ami mangosteen. "But why is it that duo teteh if the phone never spill? The plate doesn't know anything."
"Because of the Soup Tea and the Aul Tea just like Mom. To judge first. Need careful consideration. That's because everyone loves Ami. Another story is that Ami spoke of being a student. It won't be as deep as you think. In order to make the best decision, Ami must be istikharah. I will also be Istikharah. Okay, now take a shower, keep eating."
"Ready, Mom. Yes, I will be istikharah." Ami no longer prolonged ask. Patience and show earnestness, such is the advice Akbar should always remember. Hurry up to his bag and step up to the stairs. Istikharah, he has not done. And Mother's words were very precise. Reminds.

The night after the prayer, Akbar was dressed neatly to prepare to leave. Pamit to Mama Mila and Papa Darwis who are watching television. Go to Rama's house. As per the news of his cousin, Puput still heavily allow Ami to marry young. Therefore, he will come to meet his elder brother Ami.
"Om Akbal to Aa's house who's the same?" Rasya asked who followed Papa Rama's steps to welcome Akbar. Always talk to people he knows.
"Alone, Aa Rasya." Akbar raised Rasya's body high into the air. He made his eldest son Rama squeal between joy and fear.
Puput came to join the living room after telling the aunt to make drinks. A light conversation was created with Rasya as the topic. Answering anything asked by Om Akbar and Papa Rama. The answer creates laughter for adults.
"Aa, play the same there. Kasian tuh adek nyariin Aa." Rama persuaded Rasya after three glasses of warm tea served aunt at the table. It took twice seduction so Rasya would obey while in between to the playroom to meet Rayyan and the babysitter.
"Mas Akbar, drink the tea." Said Puput who now just sat two facing each other on the living room sofa.
"Yes thanks. I'll have a drink." Akbar improved his sitting by straightening his back. "Teh Puput may have heard from Ibu Sekar. Two weeks ago I went there to make a point."
"Yes. I told you a story." Puput stared straight at his interlocutor. Nothing has changed with his attitude. Staying friendly despite being able to guess Akbar's arrival is certainly to discuss about his relationship with Ami.
Akbar nodded. "Teh Puput, my intention is sincere and steady to propose to Ami to be my wife. Puput tea do not worry because of the age of Ami who is young. For a year I've been in intense communication with Ami. He knows his character well. Ami who is jolly and funny, sometimes installment. It looks like it has become an icon and everyone knows it. And of course she is beautiful and smart. And the extra point, Ami's thinking is mature, Tea. That's why I came to see Mom to ask for blessing because I already got the answer Ami who is ready for marriage after graduating from High School." Evidently. Along with Rama came again and sat beside Puput.
The pupil took a long breath. Looking at Rama who also looked back at him with a smile. He again straightened his gaze towards Akbar. "I don't doubt the mental readiness of Mas Akbar who wants to get married. I am worried about Ami's decision. Because I haven't seen Ami's maturity. The point is, I like Mother, Aul, have not been able to give an answer in the near future. God willing, if Aul was born, I would go to Ciamis. I want to talk to Ami. Want to judge for yourself. Akbar please understand."
Akbar nodded. "I totally understand. Will patiently wait for the blessing of all Ami's families.

"Come in, brother." Ami himself who opened the door after answering Akbar's greeting. No more hiding in the calling room. Even show the spirit and cheerfulness in front of Mom and Papa because the Panda wants to come.
"There is a gift." Akbar held out the medium-sized paper bag he was carrying.
"Yahhh, why bring all the souvenirs. I'm gonna be good." Ami received a paper bag with a face frowning.
Makes Akbar chuckle and hold the hand that wants to pinch Ami's arm because of anxiety. You heard Mr. Bagja deheman from the direction of the middle room.
"Cutie, don't put on an expression like that hard guy."
"The hell looks like a tough guy." Ami cupped her cheeks after keeping a paper bag beside the table.
"Yes. Difficult to forget." Sahut Akbar slowly accompanied by a smile. Afraid of deheman again.
"Yes Salam. Can't you get a salto here?" Ami lifted her skirt a little as if she was going to shake.
Akbar let out a crisp laugh to see Ami is now mereog. And suddenly braked laughter because of the arrival of Mr. Bagja. He stood up and extended his hand to shake hands.
"Where's mom, sir?" Ask Akbar after asking the news of Mr. Bagja.
"Again to the Thanksgiving at the neighbor's house. I'll be home soon." Mr. Bagja invited Akbar to sit back.
"What would Akbar drink?" Ami looked at Akbar who now had a serious face because there was Mr. Bagja.
"What a cold origin."
"Es doger Mang Yadi want to? Tuesday time nanyain Kak Akbar you know."
"Where is Yang Yadi?!" Akbar knitted his two eyebrows. Remember that name.
"My presence. One same weww." Ami clenched her tongue before leaving. Cuek raided in front of his father who turned authoritative like a soldier. Everyday is warm like my father.
Akbar smiled knot. The original wants to laugh. But the flat gaze of the retired sir seems to be starting a disciplinary hearing. The tense aura of intimidation began to feel. But he has prepared a hardiness mentality. Stay cool.
"How many days are there in the lake?" Mr. Bagja started to open the conversation.
"Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon go back to Jakarta, sir. Akbar to Lake there is no work event but specifically to come here. Visiting Ami and meeting father and mother."
"I'm taking you for a morning run. Just the two of us. Don't tell Ami. Can you?"
"Ready, Sir. What time does Akbar have to come? Or a deal outside?" Akbar answered without hesitation. Surely this contains a challenge mission, guess it in your heart.
"We met outside Galuh Ciamis stadium at half-time. Late came the goods a minute, the punishment is forbidden to visit here for the next two months. Deal?" Mr. Bagja conveyed calmly and straightforwardly and a sharp gaze.
"Deal." Sahut Akbar confidently and head upright. Maybe if someone else was in his position it would be trembling and nervous. The authoritative aura of the real general is visible. It is very useful after taking Emotional Spiritual Quotient (ESQ) classes. You can be confident in dealing with intimidation. Until he can share knowledge to be a coach and motivator for students and students.
"Papa and Akbar why do shaman again? Lebaran hajj has passed." The new Ami Chirps brought a tray of three drinks.
