'Maybe it's papa. There is no way Mars will cancel this marriage" Sita said with trembling lips.
Papa Sita hugged her shaken daughter. Her mother was crying too
"Bang Harfi told you, didn't he. Pastu Mars will one day reject you," growled Harfi, Sita's older brother.
Harfi knew that Mars was forced to accept their match. Because Harfi also knew that Mars could not refuse. Like himself.
Now the marriage that results from an arranged marriage is on the edge. They always fight. Just because their daughter was only a year old made her survive.
But Harfi has not withstood the hell of his household.
Therefore Harfi once suggested that his sister reject this matchmaking. But Sita is very stubborn. He said he was in love with Mars. Mars looks ordinary.
"Abang, hell, never been good with Mars. Mars refused at the end" nyolot Sita sharp. Harfi has always been indifferent every time he meets Mars
"Well, brother is to blame. Look yeah, if he likes you, he'll keep going" sarcophagus Harfi was upset.
His sister had been the hardest to handle when it came to Mars.
"Papa, bang Harfi is outrageous," Sita argued in her tears.
Papa gives eye and head signals so that Harfi does not speak again.
"Now we have to, Pa. The invitation was already spread out," isak mama was confused.
They'll be hot topics. Their daughters will certainly be negative talk of their acquaintances.
His father is still silent. Still confused. After Jupiter called her earlier, she still couldn't believe it. The relationship between Mars and Sita is good. That's why he still can't believe it.

"You home, son?" mama Arsen asked as she watched her son open the entrance to their apartment.
"Yes, mama. I brought food, ma," said Arsen, putting a paper bag on the dinner table.
"Laen bought mama some groceries. Let mama cook. Mama misses your masakin," said the middle-aged woman gently .
"Later in the afternoon I'll buy you ma" said Arsen with his smiling face.
Her mother helped her put food on the table.
"Arsen, can you take your mom to your best friend's funeral later this afternoon?" he asked while looking at Arsen for a moment before moving the food onto their plate
Arsen frowned.
Isn't her mom not going to the public area?
"So mom saw the news on Tivi. Turns out he's dead, "his mom said slowly. There was a sad tone in his words.
"Who ma? Mama's boyfriend?" Arsen tried to joke around to make his mother smile again.
Succeeds. Her mother smiled thinly.
"He was my mom's best friend in college. He's very kind. His family too" his mother explained again
"Ooh." This time Arsen's lips curved upwards. His heart was happy because his mother was surrounded by good people.
But what he was surprised by, where were those people when they were suffering.
Her mother looked at her son's face inside, as if she knew what Arsen was thinking.
"Emmm... After your papa left us, mama disappeared from the circulation of people who know mama."
Since Arga Taksaka's suicide, she has left her hometown with her mother. Mama Arsen doesn't want Arga Taksaka to find her. Also best friend. They will definitely fight because his best friend will definitely beat Arga Taksaka abis abisan.
But mama Arsen didn't want that to happen. He doesn't want his best friend to get hurt. But now, the harsh reality is suffering. His friend had died, it turns out.
It feels so sad to know someone who used to be very close but has been gone for a long time. Without him knowing.
Arsen. Actually he wanted to ask about his father who had always kept his mother a secret.
What's been going on. Is his mind right that Arga Taksaka has forced his mother and made her depressed?
But Arsen was still afraid because he thought it would make his mother depressed again.
Her mother returned to feed her food.
"Who's your mom's best friend's name?" Arsen preferred to change the direction of the question.
"Revi Lukman Sagara's name."
Arsen's chest immediately rumbled violently.
Sagaras. Revi Sagara's
His tongue was immediately twisted.
Why is the truth he knows so horrible?
What if his mother knew all this time he was working for Arga Taksaka to destroy the Revi Sagara family? Her mother's best friend always protected her?
Uhuk uhuk uhuk
"You why? Drink first," said Mama Arsen anxiously while thrusting a glass of drink.
Arsen accepted without answering. He immediately gulped abis. It felt like his throat was very dry.
"Later in the afternoon Arsen will take her there" Arsen said after a calm blanketed his chest again.
"Do you know where the grave is?" mama Arsen asked with a twinkle in her pair of shady eyes.
"Of course, Ma. Revi Sagara, famous man. I know where he's buried."
When Revi Sagara died, Arsen felt quite guilty. Because of course Arga Sagara has used the photo he gave.
Arsen did not expect that Revi Sagara's heart could not be strong enough to know the fact that his daughter was related to Arga Taksaka's son, Arjuna.
Arsen followed his funeral procession. He knew where the tomb was.
"If Revi had been alive and met you, he would have been very happy" his mother said proudly.
Arsen smiled wryly. Surely he felt Revi Sagara would be disappointed heavily towards him.

Arjuna and Emilia looked at each other when they saw a young man and a middle-aged woman standing in her father's grave. Revi Lukman Sagara's Tomb.
The middle-aged woman smiled at Emilia. His eyes looked wet.
"Princess Revi Sagara?" guess sure. Emilia's facial lines were very similar to Revi's. It was as if he saw his best friend in the female version.
"Yes, aunt," said Emilia then took the woman's right hand and crucified her.
The woman stroked her hair. Her tears were shed and she was immediately wiped away.
"Papa's friend's aunt?" ask Emilia guessing.
The woman smiled gently.
"Yes. Aunt papa's best friend and your mama," he explained to make Emilia smile happily. I haven't seen my mom and dad for a long time.
While Arsen and Arjuna face each other very sharply.
Arsen's arrival at the tomb of his father Emilia certainly makes Arjuna in addition to asking questions also furious.
This man is one of the causes of Papa Emilia died. Even though it is the path of destiny.
"Whose name are you?" ask Mama Arsen gently.
"I'm Emilia, aunty," said Emilia also softly.
"What a beautiful name. Is this your girlfriend?" mama Arsen asked as she began to pay attention to Arjuna. His forehead frowned slightly and his heart suddenly thumped hard.
This young man was very similar to Arga Taksaka, his mind suddenly did not calm down.
"Yes, aunt," said Emilia rather hesitantly telling Arjuna's name. Afraid of this aunt even shocked, if you know her best friend's son even dating his son Arga Taksaka.
Mama Arsen smiled faintly.
"It's aunty's son, his name is Arsen" said mama Arsen.
Emilia's reaction was ordinary, smiling and nodding lightly at Arsen.
But Arjuna had to hold himself back so as not to exclaim in his shock.
It was very surprising to find out that Mama Arsen was Papa Emilia's best friend. But why would he even work with his papa to destroy his mother's best friend? Revi Sagara's?
"Ehem...
