“Mas Joko is gone, two years ago.”
Caca's heart was like being hit by a mace hearing him. Indeed, after leaving the city—after his meeting that time with his father—Caca no longer met the figure of a man who will still get the name of father for him.
And this is where Caca and Nolan are. Above the burial ground that has begun to flatten with the ground. Caca did not take off the slightest look of his eyes from the navel bearing the name of the father.
Old memories like replayed in his brain. He never even expected that his father would leave so soon.
Nolan rubbed Caca's back, giving the woman strength to stay strong as Caca looked fragile and shrouded in a mist of regret in her empty eyes.
“Do'a I hope your Dad gets the best place there.” said Nolan who now rubs Caca's mane.
A single tear drenched his white cheek. He saw happiness in his childhood, when his father was still willing to give him a warm hug. Then Caca nodded.
“Yes. I will always pray for the best for dad.”
Nolan smiled, giving Caca room to vent everything that filled her chest. He accompanied Caca who was still at home on the tomb of his father who may, now will be one of the things he always remembered.
Twenty minutes passed, Caca finally decided to return home and relay the news to her mother, later. He had to tell his mother about his father's departure.
“If you still want your father's relatives to be guardians, I can anterin you and mom to meet your father's family.”
Caca nodded. It will be more complicated and troublesome.
“Away, Zero. If you wear a judge, do you mind?”
Nolan smiled at Caca and rubbed the top of his head. “It's okay. I don't mind kok.”

The entertainment scene was busy discussing Nolan after the man uploaded a photo in which his hands clasped the palms of hands that circular similar rings on each ring finger. Crowded comments are filled with nitizens from who support, pray, even disappointed because their hearts will release their bachelor status in the near future.
The door was knocked three times, and a beautiful woman appeared carrying some files to her desk.
Actually Angel did not feel good to say this to Louis, but he still had to be professional without reducing his respect to the leader who might be broken heart. “Infotainment requires approval from the father to air the news from Nolan Aresta—”
“Did he also give permission to you?”
It was not usual for Louis to ask permission about the infotainment news. But this time, Louis thought little of how the information would be intrusive or not. The reason, this news is related to Caca, the woman he had and still loved until this moment.
“I-permit? Did you mean by Nolan?” caca's asking is getting awkward to her boss.
“Ya.”
“Be-yet.”
“Seek approval from him first, then come back to me.”
Angel can ensure this news will be slow to air if waiting for permission and approval from the concerned party. And of course this will affect the rating and sponsorship they will get.
“But, pak—”
“I don't want anyone to be bullied and harmed in the news this time.” said Louis cut. “You know what I mean, Ngel.”

Nolan let out a rough sigh looking at the contents of the infotainment news that was filled with faces and posts on the insta a few hours ago. Nolan forgets that he has no privacy now.
He rushed to turn off the flat-screen television and prepared to attend a meeting with one of the founders who participated in becoming one of the event organizer sponsors.
There are many products that joined the event made by Nolan this time, some of them fitness products, and also some health products.
Just as he wanted to grab the doorknob of his study, his phone shook. The name of one of the television stations appeared on his phone screen. Nolan knew who the station belonged to, so he decided to answer.
“Ya?”
“This, i.”
Nolan silently sat down as at the tenth second he answered the voice across the phone in a calm voice.
“What's up, Lou?” asked Nolan without any emphasis. He did not intend to make a rowdy or burning atmosphere by saying things that could provoke the anger of Louis. Nolan even intends to make Louis the first person to receive an invitation to his wedding with Caca, by phone.
“One of the infotainment events at my place, want to show you your news. Can?”
“Indeed, why do you need permission from me? Even all the media reported it without telling me.”
“I appreciate you guys.” said Louis quietly. “You also know what my position is like. So I don't want there to be any misunderstanding just in case you see the news suddenly appear on my television broadcast as well.”
“No problem.” replied Nolan lightly and angrily.
“Maybe the team will add some slightly provoking words to attract the audience's interest for the rating.”
“Sialang. You still have time to think about rating?”
“Nolan, it's a business world. I have to give my employees a salary.” Louis said a little jokingly and realistically attracted the laughter and sense of humor of Nolan.
“OK, okay. No problem. Create a creative idea, because it will also be profitable for me and Caca.”
There was no word, but Louis nodded across the street.
“Sure. My team is good at it.”
“Oke, there are others. I want to meet.” said Nolan without further ado because Dharma was waiting for him with an unsettled face.
“No. That'sthat's all. Later I will tell you again if my people need materials and info from you.”
Nolan nodded. “Eum. Bye.”
The call was ended by Nolan who had already received a sharp gaze from Dharma. This meeting involved some unlikely people who would have to wait for Nolan. They're all important people and seniors to Nolan. For that reason, Dharma pressured Nolan not to be late for the meeting room, and it was better to come earlier than them.
“Iya, yes Om. I know.” said Nolan with pursed lips after seeing the fierce face of Dharma instead of playing towards him. “But I miss Caca. How's this?”

The appointed day has come. The open space in one of the famous five-star hotels was transformed into a privacy area for the wedding held by Nolan and Caca today. The Caca family arrived a day ago, and the hotel rooms were booked by Nolan. He does not want anyone to feel disturbed if there are other visitors in the same place as them.
Invitational guests are nothing, only dominated by some of Nolan's relatives, and those closest to him and some of Nolan's work relations are here to witness how he and Caca will tie themselves up into a couple.
Nolan with a white tuxedo that fits on his tall, stocky body looks handsome. But do not close the slightest bit of nervousness that appears on the expression of the former street racer at that weekend.
He waited with an unsettled heart. Ijab will be done to bind a woman for the rest of her life. He was pounding, his hands were sweating. This sensation is more thrilling than participating in a race by betting a billion-price car.
It's about his life.
It's about his future.
And this, about the end of a wait for him.
Then, as his eyes rotated toward the red carpet that lay along the main road, Nolan was flabbergasted at the figure in the arms of a middle-aged woman who was none other than Julia, Clarita's mother. The woman was so beautiful in a white dress attached to her slender body, makeup that made her face look even more beautiful.
Nolan's tears were stuck in her eyelids. His gaze fell and locked onto the beautiful figure who was walking towards the ijab table where he was waiting.
If usually the bride and groom choose to wear clothes that are thick with religious elements, Nolan and Caca dropped the choice on clothes that make them comfortable and do not have to change again after saying ijab qobul.
Until Caca stood almost to where Nolan was, the foot of the level stood to welcome the arrival of the idol. The not-so-large size of the table had a guardian judge, a regent and three witnesses including Dharma who became the guardian of the Nolan.
After arriving and seeing Caca already sitting in one of the chairs near him, Nolan has steadied and prepared his heart to immediately say his sacred promise to have Caca fully.
“Aready, sir? Bu?” ask the pengulu sir who was waiting about fifteen minutes ago.
“Ya.” answer some people who are there.
A small microphone is installed on one side of the suit worn by the penghulu, then slowly but surely the black guy reads a do'a that is devoted to starting the procession ijab qobul.
Until the forearm was stretched out before Nolan, then greeted with a slight tremble and cold by the palm of the hand that usually never trembled, then ...
“Brother Nolan Aresta Suwandi bin Hendra Suwandi. I marry and marry you to a woman named Clarita Winanda bint Joko Suseno, with gold married money of two hundred and thirty thousand five hundred and twenty-two rupiah, paid in cash.”
Nolan's hand in a gentle jolt, then Nolan answered, saying,
“I received, marriage and marriage Clarita Winanda bint Joko Suseno with gold mating cash.”
The head turned to the right and left who were witnesses.
“Sah?”
“Sah.” []
