Herman and his wife and two children seemed to be gathering in the family room while watching television in the living room that is not too big but still feels comfortable.
In the village, television became the most familiar entertainment there, because internet access to play gadgets is very limited. Only certain places and times can get it. So in the free time, Sahara spends more time to read books or paint as a hobby.
“Bapak wants to talk to all of you,” said Herman took a TV remote to adjust the volume.
Elisa, Sahara and Tiara then glanced at Herman with curious gazes. It's not usually Herman to talk seriously like that.
“What's up sir?” Tiara asked.
“So gini, sir Surya wants to propose to Sahara to marry his son, Raden.”
“Heuh? Kak Sahara wants to be betrothed to her son sir Surya?” Tiara looked so surprised.
“Sahara wants to go to college sir, Sahara does not want to marry,” Sahara said firmly.
“Pak Surya will educate you in Jakarta. Mr. Surya has been very good with our family. So it's time for us to return the favor.”
“There is no other way to return the favor sir?” Elisha asked with a sad look. Of course he does not want his daughter to be a victim in terms of the return of their family.
“But I'm not good to refuse the application sir Surya buk.”
Sahara then got up from her seat, passed into her room while crying. Seeing that, Tiara immediately caught up with her sister.
“Sabar yes brother Ra,” Tiara pats Sahara's shoulder trying to calm down. “Surely the father is also wrong.”
“Iya Tia, sister also knows, but sister does not want to marry, sister just graduated high school, and the plan is to continue college and reach the ideals of sister, and, keep working to improve the economy of our family .”
“Hopefully there will be a way out yes kak.”
“Iya, hopefully Tia.”
At school, when all students spend their time doing various activities, Sahara just sits daydreaming in class, she is struggling with her own thoughts.
Luna, a close Sahara friend who saw her best friend become very quiet today, also approached her.
“Ra, you why the hell from earlier I saw you daydreaming continuously. You are confused again that, you think again what the hell, here the same story me!”
Sahara and Luna have been friends for a long time. In fact, maybe since they entered PAUD, so no matter what happens, they are always there to help and strengthen each other.
Sahara sighed then looked towards Luna who was sitting on the side chair.
“Iya Lum, I'm so confused. You want to mate me with the son of Mr. Surya who has a plantation where you work,” explained Sahara with a sad tone.
“Heuh, who is Ra? you are just a new SMA to pass the time already want to marry?”
“Kagetnya do not fast Lun times, later there will be horrified, fortunately in the class there are only two of us. If the others arrive, how do they try their assessment to me?”
“Shock Ra,” Luna rubbed her chest that actually had nothing to do with it at all.
“But ordinary, don't scream.”
“Iya sorry..”
“I really don't want to get married! I still want to focus on college to pursue my ideals, continue to get good work, continue later the money to help the father as mother. But you can not refuse, not tasty the same sir Surya.”
“Eumm..difficult also yes Ra. But by the way his son sir Surya is handsome Ra, his family continues to be pak surya also tajir. Later if you marry his son automatically you will also be splashed times Ra wealth sir Surya.”
“I don't want to depend on anyone else Lun, I want to help my parents from my own sweat.”
“Hmm..iya deh Ra..
One notification appeared on Sahara's phone. It turns out there was a message coming in from her father, Herman.
“Message from whom Ra?” Luna looks kepo.
“From Mr. Lun, my father told me to come to the house of Mr. Surya who is in the plantation, but later if I have already returned home from school.”
“Ohh, yes already, want to be won?”
“No need Lun, I can do it myself kok.”
Meanwhile, Raden comes to his home in Adonara with his mother, Gayatri. Adonara Village itself is located on the edge of the hill that presents a beautiful view that is very extraordinary. It is about four hours from the capital.
Surya was waiting in front of the house. Raden and Gayatri get out of the car walking in.
Raden released black glasses that were attached to his face. It just so happened that the weather was very hot that made his eyelids narrow to adjust the intensity of light.
“There is an important thing Pa, how to talk here everything?” asked Raden who was already on the porch of the house.
“Log in first, we chat in dalem aja.”
Raden and his mother went inside and they sat on the couch. Surya and Gayatri interlock lyrics.
“What's Pa, make curious aja.”
“You don't want to rest first? Who knows you're tired of driving away.”
“Neither Pa, mending now papa just talk directly let me not be more curious.”
“Good, so gini Den, papa want to make you the same Sahara son sir Herman.”
Hearing that, Raden's forehead immediately wrinkled.
“What? I'm not wrong, right, papa wants to mate me with the Sahara who is tomboyish, that's dirty, but why Pa?”
“Now Sahara has changed Den.”
“Change how?”
Raden still clearly remembers when the Sahara was still Junior High, his style was exactly like men, chasing kites, he played in the fields if not at times. He remembered very well because Raden used to come to the plantation and often saw Sahara who accompanied his father to take care of the plantation.
“But why papa don't just I used to want or don't.”
Gayatri could only silently watch the father and son debate. Honestly, his head was very dizzy. He already knew that Raden would definitely refuse.
“Ma, help me dong Ma! Please tell papa if I don't want Ma,” Raden stared at Gayatri with a hearty look.
“This time mama agrees with papa, because this is for your good as well.”
Raden let out a breath of air, passed from before his parents, went out of the house. He was silent in front of the house while murmuring an unclear. Then Raden's phone rings, there's a call from Nicho.
“Halo Den, where are you? we'll be out malem later, right?”
“Malem this can not, I again in Adonara.”
“Ngapain lo there?”
“Gue again dizzy nih.”
“Pusing why bro?”
“Bokap I suddenly want to mate me with the son foreman in the plantation. And as long as you know, the girl is not really, and far from my type. Appearance of the same behavior as a guy, whichever way again.”
“Kasian very lo, very elo seem not good until must be fooled all the same bokap lo.”
“Damn lo! I'm dizzy again but you even sneeze at me.”
“Hehe, sorry. I was just kidding.”
“Call the same thing, I can't come because there's a business.”
“Eh bentar Den, this Rizki same Devon dateng, I loudspeaker yes. Rizki, Devon know no, the Raden now again in Adonara, he wants to be married with his bokap, the same son of his bokap foreman.”
Rizki and Devon immediately laughed.
“Ahh, fuck you on even on ngetawain me.”
“Kayak Siti Nurbaya aja lo Den.”
“Not like Siti Nurbaya, but because the bokapnya know the Raden do not sell, hahaha.”
“Hardly lo all. Look I will not give up, I will make this match. Dah ah, free I talk to all of you.”
Raden hung up the phone.
Sahara arrives at Surya's house on an ojek. His High School uniform is still attached to his body because he has not had time to go home and go directly to the plantation house as requested by Herman.
Raden's eyes glanced at the arrival of the beautiful long-haired young girl.
“This is a girl who, it feels so familiar, I've never met, but where is it?”
Surya came out of the house and welcomed the arrival of the Sahara.
“Eh Sahara has come.”
“Iya sir.”
Sahara approached Surya and kissed his hand respectfully.
Raden just stared at the Sahara from top to bottom, he was confused to see the changes of the Sahara. He did not expect Sahara which was once tomboyish and decile now has changed drastically.
“Kok can ya Sahara so it looks feminine, the skin is also clean white, the body is slim. But I still don't want to be fooled!”
“Raden here! This is Sahara,” Surya is trying to introduce.
Raden and Sahara also shook hands while introducing themselves.
“Yaudah you guys chat. Ra, mr kedalem first yes.”
“Iya sir.”
Then the two men and women who were still awkward took positions on the terrace chair.
“You know if we want to be betrothed?” tanya Raden opened a conversation between them. He folded his chest to show his arrogance to intimidate the Woman in front of him.
“Yes, I already know.”
“Keep you want?”
“Negak kak.”
“You didn't refuse?”
“Udah kok, brother himself how do you want what not?”
“Ya is not.”
“Udah nolak?”
“Udah, but papa still wants to fool us. I hope you want to help me get this matchmaking plan off.”
“So my own business, I'm tired of just coming home from school I want to go home, assalamualaikum.”
Sahara then left Raden in astonishment. This was the first time Raden had gotten such an attitude from a girl, because usually the women out there were always chasing to be able to talk to him. But Sahara left him alone when he had not finished speaking.
“Crazy, this cocky chick very.”
Raden rubbed his face and then rose into the house with a growing annoyance.
