" Assalamualaikum .." said Karina as she entered her parents' home after returning from work.
" Neurova ..." Dirga who was waiting for Kirania in the living room also returned Karina's greetings
" Sister Dirga?" Karina was shocked when she found Dirga in the living room. He did see the car parked in the yard but it was not the Dirga car he knew.
" You just got home?" ask Dirga.
" I-iya, Brother. Just finished overtime," said Karina greeting Dirga.
Dirga then ruffled Karina's hair. " Thanks, Rin." Dirga thanked for the help of the younger sister of Kirania in trying to 'kidnapping' Kirania yesterday.
" I-yes, Brother." Karina. " Which other? How lonely?" Karina circulated the gaze into the quiet-looking inner space.
" There's aunty you're warming up for dinner. The others are going to Gilang's parents' house."
Karina rounded her eyes to hear that her family was visiting Gilang's house.
" Who's going to Gilang's house?" Karina curious.
" Your sister, Mama Saras and your Om."
" What's up there, brother?"
" It's been almost half an hour."
After getting an answer from Dirga, Karina immediately ran out making Dirga gnash her eyes. I don't know what Karina will do, Dirga himself doesn't know.
Karina drives her motorcycle to Gilang's house, but she has no intention of joining her family who have already come to Gilang's house. Karina watched from the outside, until she finally saw her family saying goodbye and left Gilang's house.
Karina then looked towards Gilang's house, she found the two Gilang parents who were still standing on the porch of her house. Karina rushed into the yard of the Gilang house before the two Gilang parents entered the house.
" Aunty, Om .. assalamualaikum," said Karina when she arrived in the yard of Gilang's house by running, she left her motorcycle outside Gilang's house.
" Salami, Karina? What's up?" Om Burhan returned Karina's greeting.
" Your family just got home." Aunt Melly answered more.
" I-yes I know Auntie. I'm here because ..." Karina bit her lips, hesitating a little to say her point.
" For what? Quickly, we're going in." Aunt Dini again said unfriendly.
" Mah, don't be." Om Burhan asks his wife not to be rude to Karina.
" Ck, what else do you want, anyway? Your sister's engagement with Gilang has closed the book. Your own brother decided that." Folding his hands on his chest and throwing his face away, Aunt Dini said that.
" I'm on behalf of Ms. Rania apologizing for everything that happened Auntie, Om ...."
" It's .. there's no need to talk about that anymore. Just tell me what do you mean by coming here?" Aunt Dini could not hide her disappointment at Kirania's decision.
" It's about me, Tan, Om ...."
" You? What are you why?" Om Burhan gnashed his forehead. " Let's go in and talk inside." Om Burhan told Karina to come in to talk about what her sister was trying to say. Although initially opposed by his wife, Aunt Dini finally can only follow the decision of her husband.
" Did you explain what you mean, Karina?" om Burhan.
" I ... Karina likes Gilang, Om. Therefore if the engagement of Ms. Rania with Kak Gilang is void, allow Karina who replaces the place of Mbak Rania, Om." Karina directly lowered her head after saying her goal came to Gilang's house.
Karina's expression of heart certainly made Om Burhan and Aunt Dini gasp, they did not expect that the sister of Kirania had feelings for her son.
" Karina .. engagement is not a transferable job, because it involves the heart. How could you replace your brother, because Gilang has no feelings for you, Gilang loves Kirania, your sister." Om Burhan tried to explain.
" I know, Om. Then how is it different from my sister Gilang? Gilang loves Rania, but Rania loves other people. Karina also loves Kak Gilang even though Kak Gilang loves others. My position and Silang Gilang's the same, right, Om? If Silang believes it can melt my mother's heart, Karina also believes it will be able to melt the heart of Kak Gilang someday, if Karina is given the opportunity to be close to Kak Gilang." Karina.
" Karina understands, Om. Om and Aunty do not need to force Kak Gilang, just allow me to approach Kak Gilang. I will make amends, Ms. Rania, by loving Silang sincerely. Om, Auntie .. Karina's blessing takes Gilang's heart." With a trembling voice and teary eyes Karina made a plea to both Gilang's parents.
Om Burhan let out a long sigh and then glanced at his wife who was only twitching her shoulders handing the decision to her husband.
" Well, Karina .. we allow you to approach Gilang, but if in the end Gilang's attitude can't accept you, you should be heartened and not over-exert the will." Om Burhan decided.
Karina immediately sat down and cried in front of Om Burhan and Aunt Dini.
" Thank you, Om, Auntie. Karina promised, Karina will treat the heart injury of Gilang because she was disappointed with the attitude of Rania Ma'am. I promise Om, Aunt ..." Unceasingly Karina sobbed in happiness as both of Gilang's parents blessed her. From here is the beginning of the story of Karina and Gilang. Whether it will be like his struggle to get the heart of a man who he has actually adored long ago, but always try to tepis because he knows Gilang only likes Kirania.

" Where are you staying, brother?" kirania asked when Dirga had asked permission to leave to the family of Kirania.
" Hotel's near here, 'cause I don't want to be far from you." Dirga pinched Kirania's pointed nose.
" What time is it here tomorrow? Don't be late, brother."
" why? Can't stand being away from me for long." Dirga gave a kiss on Kirania's cheek as she ended her sentence.
" Sister, iiihh ...." Kirania held her cheek while keeping her body away from Dirga.
" why? Usually kissed lips just don't protest, really." Dirga mellow
" It's not nice to see Mama, Om or Auntie ...."
" If you want to be good, just go to the hotel, yuk." Dirga whispered while rolling her eyes back to tease Kirania to make the woman's face red.
" Br ..." Kirania gives a pinch on Dirga's waist, making Dirga chuckle.
" Om Malik said all our marriage registration business is in order, this weekend we will get married. I can't wait to justify you, Yank."
The red tinge was more clearly visible on the beautiful face of the woman when she heard Dirga say this.
" What is your mother, brother?" Kirania tries to divert attention by asking about Aunt Utami, as she is still worried about Mama Dirga's once defiant attitude towards her relationship.
" You don't have to worry, Mama won't go against my decision." Dirga clasped Kirania's hand.
" Just focus on thinking about how to serve your future husband, no need to think about anything else, okay?!" While winking Dirga's eyes again make the hue of Kirania's face reddened again.
