In the hot afternoon, the workshop looks quite crowded, many visitors who come to just change the oil, change the tires, replace parts, even there is only routine service. Although not as crowded as Sunday but enough to make the employees busy with motorcycles that come and go.
Elvan is now in his workshop. Sitting quietly in his office, accompanied by a laptop that has not stopped burning since morning. Elvan is focusing on the name of the item that will be ordered for the workshop stock.
Elvan hears a knock on the door that turns out to be his employee.
"Sorry sir, Mr. Elvan's Papa is outside to see you." Said the clerk who was the cashier at Elvan's workshop.
"Oh, tell me to come in." Elvan said then refocused on his laptop."
Shortly thereafter, Mr. Erwin arrived.
"Busy El." Said Mr. Erwin who had just entered and closed the door of the room.
"Yes, as you can see. What's up?" Ask Elvan who has now stopped his activities. "Please sit down Pa."
"Thank you El." Mr. Erwin pulled the chair in front of Elvan's desk. "Oh yes El. How are you and your grandparents?" Ask Mr. Erwin who has now sat in his chair.
"Alhamdulillah good all, directly what is it, there is no way papa here if only news." Elvan said as if he did not want to waste his time.
"This papa you El, don't be the same Papa." Mr. Erwin exhaled violently. There was sadness and regret on the face that began to appear wrinkles on part of his face.
Elvan was silent and did not answer. He really hated the man in front of him.
"Papa wants to take you on vacation to Japan with Papa's family." Mr. Erwin said after a while.
"Sorry Pa, how many times does Elvan have to say. Elvan will never want a vacation with Papa's family. Then Papa knows I used to want to come with every papa vacation because the mother asked." Said Elvan who was now getting annoyed.
"Until when will you be like this same Papa." Mr. Erwin said with a clear face. His eyes are glassy. There was a lot of weight that Elvan saw in his eyes.
"I'm getting married." Said Elvan flatly.
"What?" Mr. Erwin was surprised.
"I didn't expect Papa to come." Elvan is still in a flat tone.
"When El? Same who?" Ask Mr. Erwin who looks happy. His son is getting married soon.
"After the day." Elvan replied with a flat expression. He was confused as to how, since childhood the man was so dear to him, but after the death of his mother, Elvan like to make a distance with his biological father.
"What was it with the woman you were with in front of our company yesterday?" Ask Mr. Erwin who did see Elvan pick up Marisa.
"Well, do you know Risa?" Elvan asked in disbelief. Does her father really know Marisa.
"Yes, he'll work at our company so papa must know." Said Mr. Erwin who seemed to hide the fact that Marisa was Alvero's secretary and even her brother liked her. They like the same woman.
"Papa's office is big. There's no way Papa could have known Marisa. Is Papa hiding something?" Elvan was suspicious of his father's attitude.
"Your boyfriend is Risa? He's been in meetings a lot and he's among the best employees so Papa knows him." Answer Mr. Erwin who still covers the truth.
"Don't let Papa's wife know that I'm getting married to Risa. Risa doesn't want to quit her job, and I can't force her. I don't want anything to happen to him. I beg you this is Papa." Elvan was devastated, and asked for protection from the man he hated.
"Father promise. Papa will take care of Risa for you El." Mr. Erwin smiled because he felt Elvan was starting to melt with him. He could feel that Elvan loved Marisa very much. Like He who loved Elvan's mother very much.
"No need to tell Al, I don't want him to get angry with his Grandpa until he doesn't take a vacation. Papa doesn't have to come either." Elvan.
"Yes El. Papa won't tell your brother. But if Papa can, Papa will try to come." Said Mr. Erwin.
Elvan nodded. Now his frozen heart seemed to slowly melt.
"El, you still don't want to manage the shares that Papa gave you?" Ask Mr. Erwin after they have been quiet for a while.
"Pa, I told you. I don't want to interfere with Papa's company." Elvan said firmly.
"Yes Papa knows, it's up to you El, which you should know now your shares are the same as your brother Al. Papa leaves first, there will be a meeting with the board of directors in a moment. Hope your marriage is good. Assalamu'alaikum." Erwin got up from his seat.
"Getishalight." Answer Elvan.
Mr. Erwin also left the Elvan workshop. And shortly thereafter Galih entered the room.
"Bro, you so no polite child huh." Said Galih who just finished closing the door.
"What the hell did you come nagging." Said Elvan reading again the stock report.
"Gue was about to enter. Eh dunya bokap you again in the. If you want to tell me about your marriage. You should be the samperin bokap you. It's not even your bokap who's here to know." Galih repeatedly pointed at Elvan with his hands. He was furious at the attitude of his best friend who he thought was outrageous.
"Now, don't you marry." Said Galih who tried to tease Elvan.
"Your monkey." Checking the report Galih brought.
They are also refocused on completing their work.

In Alvero's room.
Mr. Erwin entered Alvero's room after meeting with Marisa.
"Al, how's Kevin? Is there a problem. Looks like he's been there too long." Said Mr. Erwin who had been sitting on the sofa next to Alvero.
"Yes Pa, it looks like the construction of the hotel there is a little delayed due to the carelessness of the workers." Alvero said that he felt Kevin had taken too long to address the problem of the project abroad.
"And he can't handle it yet?" Ask Mr. Erwin who can immediately guess the situation.
"Does Al have to go there, Pa?" Alvero seemed to understand his father's wishes.
"You should follow Kevin tomorrow and then you tell him to come home, to replace you here." Mr. Erwin said firmly.
"Yes Pa tomorrow Al will be leaving."
"Good Al, you quickly solve the problem there. Don't let your grandfather know and get angry. For now the company's finances are still safe, but you know the effect of the project with the company's future finances. Don't let your clients get disappointed and Grandpa knows it. Understood." Said Mr. Erwin.
"Yes Pa, I'll work on it."
Mr. Erwin did deliberately make Alvero leave the country so that Elvan could marry Marisa without Alvero's knowledge. Although both of them are his children, he thinks Elvan who is always alone deserves to be happy with Marisa.
Days passed, Alvero has now reviewed the troubled project.
Until the last Sunday arrived.
The sun is rising, indicating the morning is coming to an end. Although noon was still a long time, but it seemed that the hottest light was being very excited to shine on the inhabitants of the earth. Warming the skin and soon it will feel as if burning it.
Elvan was sitting in front of Marisa's boarding house. She plans to visit her mother's grave with Marisa, to ask for her blessing before getting married in a few days.
He was still faithful waiting for the future wife who was still preparing. Elvan spent a long time thinking it was by playing online games. Yeah, just to kill the whacker.
Finally the one we hope will arrive. The idol of the heart now opens the door to the room as well as his house.
Marisa wears a maroon-colored veil and red hem and wears matching colored sneakers with her jeans. Marisa comes out of the house and instantly leaves Elvan fascinated.
"Mas. Mas. Mas" Marisa waved her hand in front of Elvan's face, because the future husband was staring at her.
"Is this really you deck?" Elvan asked after gaining his consciousness.
"Yes, weird, huh?" The real Marisa Tanya also felt strange about her appearance. But how else, he could not go to the tomb with his usual clothes without a head covering.
"No, you're beautiful let alone pack a gini veil. I'll see the angel of heaven." Said Elvan who was increasingly feeling the tremors in his heart.
"This is starting again." Marisa blushed in shame. He repeatedly pulled his sling bag strap.
"Why don't you go hijab?" Asked Elvan who now began to walk in Marisa's footsteps.
"I'm not PD mas, I'm not mentally ready yet." Reply Marisa who has now arrived at the usual place Elvan parked her motorcycle.
"Why really? It is an obligation to close your law." Asked Elvan curiously.
"Yes the name is not ready mas, I'm afraid it will not be comfortable continue me off. I want him to wear the hijab forever mas so it is not free to wear it off using that. By the way we ride what mas, why is there no motorbike?" Ask Marisa who is now confused because Elvan motorbike is not in the parking lot of the boarding house.
"You don't have a motor." Elvan said casually and walked towards the neatly parked row of cars.
"So what are we riding? By bus?" Marisa asked who started following Elvan's footsteps.
"Good car, come in, don't nag." Said Elvan who had opened the car door beside the steering wheel.
"Whose car is this?"
