“So what can kak?” ask Kenzo.

Freya and Kiana kept quiet and looked back at each other, “This seems like we can't decide on our own deck. We will talk about it back with the parents.” Kiana.

“But you don't worry like you said it was only different for a day. Big Brother is sure they will not mind this. But even so we still have to talk about it back.” Freya continued to give understanding to Kenzo.

“In addition try asking Irma. Does he mind if your marriage is delayed for another day?” kiana said then looked at her future sister-in-law.

Kenzo also immediately stared at Irma, “How's the deck? Do you agree with my request or do you still want to get married on the date set by our family?” ask Kenzo gently to Irma.

Irma smiled, “I follow the final decision, brother. 24 Or 25 is the same for me. The most important thing is that I marry you, not anyone else. So I agree whatever the decision is.” Irma made Kenzo smile.

“Kak, you heard for yourself what the answer my future wife gave.” Kenzo.

Freya and Kiana nodded, “We heard the deck. You don't have to boast as if you're the only one who has the girl you love.” Kiana.

Kenzo who heard that laughed, “I'm just happy brother.” His word.

“You really have to be happy dek.” said Freya. Kenzo nodded.

“Yes this is how we will talk about it with them again. We'll say that you mind.” Alvino teases Kenzo.

“Wah sister-in-law severe. Don't tease me sister-in-law.” Kenzo.

“Come. We're throwing him to Ayesha's grandmother.” Alvino then took Freya back to the living room.

“Kak, what is granny's decision?” ask Kenzo to Kiana.

Kiana nodded with a smile, “Well that's it. But since you rejected it yes already it does not need to be discussed.” Kiana.

Kenzo hissed hearing that, “Kak, don't tease me. If it was a grandmother's decision. Yes I have come.” said Kenzo.

“Nobody teases you deck. Already brother wants to go there first following sister Reya.” said Kiana and she and Zean immediately left the room and followed Freya.

“Basic don't dare you brother. You were very brave to want to get married on the 25th but now after hearing my sister's words that it was your grandmother's decision to be afraid. Basic coward.” Frisya.

Kenzo who heard that also immediately stared intently at Frisya, “I am not a coward of the deck. I just respect grandma's decision.” Kenzo will not lose.

“Same. I can't tell which attitude is respectful and which attitude is cowardly either brother. So forgive me.” Frisya said casually.

Kenzo again hissed at Frisya's words, “Fazar, you must be patient with his attitude like this if indeed you intend to make her a wife.” Kenzo looked at Fazar.

“This has nothing to do with Brother Fazar. So don't associate this with him. I'm sure without me like this and showing myself like this, Brother Fazar already knows me.” Frisya.

Fazar who heard Frisya's words smiled, “Why are you smiling so Fazar? What does Frisya say is true?” ask Rezky.

Fazar smiled again and then he nodded, “That kind of attitude makes me like it.” said Fazar.

“Wah, brother Fazar bucin also.” Said Clemira, Vienna and Mark together then the three also shook their heads not to believe Fazar's confession. Fazar just laughed at hearing that.

“You heard Kenzo himself what Fazar.” said Frisya.

“Yes yes I heard it. I'm not deaf.” said Kenzo cynically.

Frisya also laughed because of that, “Keep brother Kenzo do not take my words seriously. I was just joking so the atmosphere wasn't tense.” Said Frisya then sipped the juice.

“Your joke is not exciting sister.” Said Mark.

“Times anyway?” frisya asked looking at her little sister.

“Yah you are not melting the atmosphere but it makes the atmosphere more tense. Where anyone jokes so.” Said Mark.

Frisya also laughed, “It was my signature joke.” Frisya.

Fazar smiled at that and Rezky who noticed him whispered to Fazar, “Did you also know this?” ask Rezky.

Fazar nodded, “For people who don't know him he had a spicy mouth but he was only joking. He didn't really say that.” said Fazar.

“Wah, you seem to know him well. I thought what he said was serious. He and Kenzo really argue.” Rezky still can't believe what happened.

“I was also first time like that. Tricked.” Fazar.

“You don't whisper. Frisya is my sister.” Friska.

“Ahh sorry.” Rezky looked at Friska.

“Just calm my brother no problem. I have sharp hearing. Even though they whisper like that. I heard what they were talking about.” Frisya.

“Don't feel weird Brother Rezky. Frisya is like that. He was different from brother Reya and sister Ris.” Say Kenzo relax. He had an argument with Frisya and now they are back as usual as they had not argued before. Rezky now smiled because he realized that he did not know his wife's family with all their characteristics.

“Do not feel guilty. I know now you feel inferior for not knowing them well and feeling inferior to Brother Fazar who has understood our attitude well. You're different from him. He has known us for a long time and met us and several times he also participated in family meals so that he has memorized our respective characters. You just joined us and this might be the second time you've joined us at a banquet. Don't be sad because you don't know us. I'm sure my future husband will know us well and it will take time.” whispered Friska at length.

Rezky who heard that smiled then nodded, “Thank you!” rezky whispers. Friska just nodded and smiled.

“Irma, um I'll call you first before you officially become Kenzo's sister's wife you're still my sister. Don't be surprised at what happened today. We are like this. This is our way to increase kinship between brothers. If we don't bully each other and argue then the relationship will feel bland. Isn't fellow friends also we can be literate and argue but after we make up the friendship relationship will be tighter. So too happened today. It's just a form of strengthening the tightness. I'm explaining this to you to keep you from getting a cultural shock like Rezky's sister.” Frisya laughed.

All at the dinner table laughed at Rezky's confession.

“You heard what Frisya said. Well that's how we maintain the kinship between us. We did argue but it was never taken seriously.” Kenzo's whisper to Irma.

Irma nodded, “I understand brother. I will study this whole family.” said Irma.

“No need to learn them one-on-one. Enough you understand and the most important thing is that you have to tell me that it's a joke. Don't take it too seriously.” Kenzo. Irma nodded back. Kenzo smiled too.

Not long Zean, Kiana, Freya and Alvino are back, “How are you? Is the decision changed or not?” ask Frisya.

“Kenzo what do you think? Did grandma approve your request or not?” alvino asked Kenzo.

“Sister-in-law just tell me what the decision is. Don't ask me to guess.” Answer Kenzo.

“Wah, you don't exclamation sister-in-law.” Zean.

“I'm not exciting sister-in-law just that I'm kapok. I refused the decision without knowing whose decision it was. So I won't guess.” Kenzo. The family laughed at Kenzo's words.

“Take it easy deck. Grandma is sometimes firm with her decision that can not be challenged but she may not not grant your request to marry on Friska's birth date. He's agreed. You will get married on the 25th of next month and it has also been agreed back by the parents. Irma's parents also agreed to it.” Freya Saying.

“Totally brother? Grandma changed her decision?” ask Kenzo to be happy.

Freya nodded, “Of course grandma wants to change her decision. You don't know grandma very well.” said Kiana.

“Ish not so sister. I'm just--”

“What's all?“ cut Kiana.

“Ah. I don't want to argue with you, brother. Most importantly, everything is in order. I'm thrilled. Brother Friska so when I celebrate our wedding anniversary then I like celebrating your birthday and vice versa.” Kenzo.

“Basic kekanakan.” Kiana Ledek.

“Irma, are you sure you will marry a man who is like a child?” ask Freya.

“Kak, don't ask that again. You've asked enough of such a thing. I'm so afraid Irma will become unsure about marrying me because you keep asking questions so.” Kenzo.

Freya laughed, “I am sure Brother Reya and I will always answer confidently for your question. I accepted him as my future husband with all the advantages and disadvantages he had. I don't brag for this I accept it with full awareness. Accepting him to be my husband is a big decision in my life that I decide for myself without coercion or intervention from others. So my answer will always be sure and will never hesitate.” Irma.

Freya smiled hearing that while Kenzo looked at Irma with a moved look, “Thank you!” kenzo didn't know what to say. Irma just smiled back at him.

Finally after talking long enough and a lot of drama that created the decision of Kenzo and Irma's marriage has been confirmed. The Kenzo family soon returned home as well as Kenzo.

Now on the way home, Friska who was with Rezky's car was alone because Azlan and Azlen were in Mama Najwa's car and Khabir's father.

“Dek, really I still did not expect that what happened today at the dinner table was just a joke. I still did not expect that Frisya had such an attitude.” Rezky said.

Friska laughed, “He is different from me and sister Reya. Everyone says that and we are aware of our differences. He is a sociable, cheerful and what he is. He has a lot of friends on appeal to me and Reya's sister who have a hard time finding friends. Frisya is the person who is and with him must have extra patience because sometimes what comes out of his mouth is very spicy.” Friska.

“Yeah, you're right. I heard it myself today. Good thing when we still haven't improved he didn't do anything like that to me.” Rezky.

“Actually he is like that also only to people already known to him. He also has his own cold attitude. He is good at hanging out and has many friends but to show himself like that only to his close friends. If the person he just knew then he would act silent.” Friska.

Rezky nodded, “Now I understand. Looks like he already considers me family.” Rezky said.

“Of course, he already considers family unless the sister really wants to pay-”

“Don't say the no-no. I wouldn't do something like that. I've painstakingly explained the misunderstanding that happened to us and I don't want to repeat that stupidity a second time.” Cut Rezky.

Friska also laughed at Rezky's words, “Apanya hard-earned. Didn't you just receive CCTV footage from my niece.” Friska.

Rezky who heard him smiled, “You're right your niece is great. They're really great. I admit. I don't feel inferior to them and I'm thankful that with their help I can explain the misunderstanding to you.”

“It's true what I did didn't seem like much. I promise I will take good care of you.” Rezky said.

Friska nodded, “I believe my sister's words. I'm sure you won't let me down again.” Friska.

“Really. Will no longer.” Rezky.

While on the other hand, in the car Frisya and Fazar now silence that hit them, “Sorry yes brother if today you see the attitude of bar-barku.” Frisya's words broke the silence that had happened to them.

Fazar smiled, “No problem. I already know you and I'm not surprised anymore.” Fazar.

“But still what I did might look very disrespectful. Doesn't look like a graceful Muslimah.” Frisya.

“I like you that way and I don't want you to change yourself just because of the words of people who might not like you. I like you for who you are. So never change.” Fazar.

Frisya laughed, “How could I change. I am an ordinary man. I'm not a superhuman who can turn into a robot or anything like that in the movie.” Frisya.

Fazar laughed at the joke that Frisya made. That girl is unique.
