At half-eight in the evening, when Ariel wanted to order food at the restaurant downstairs, she suddenly heard a bell ringing. Ariel immediately walked to the door and opened it.
"Assalamualaikum," said the woman politely.
"Vaalaikumsalam. What's up, Ma'am?" asked Ariel without a stale ado.
"I cooked most of it. Maybe the mas wanted to," said the woman without looking at Ariel. In his hand, he held a tray filled with food.
"Ah yes, thank you Ma'am." Ariel could not refuse sustenance, he accepted it with pleasure.
"May Mas and his daughter like it, it doesn't matter. Intentionally do not make a problem, because it can be eaten by his daughter as well," he said politely. The woman thought that Ariel was a widower, considering that they were alone.
"Again thanks. Somehow I have to reply to her," Ariel replied politely.
"If so, you can marry me."
"Hhhh!" Ariel was shocked, not believing what the woman in front of him said.
"Yes, is Mas a widower?" ask the woman frankly.
"Yes, I'm a widower." he admitted.
"If so, can I apply to be my husband?" he asked once, still talking at the door,
"Huh?" Ariel still did not know what to do, she did not know the woman in front of him and suddenly she was lamar.
"This is my business card, Mas can keep. If you agree, I'll send my bio as soon as possible" he said.
"I say goodbye, Assalamualaikum." The woman immediately left after giving her contact number. Maybe he also felt groggy, but for the sake of satisfaction, he chose to dare to propose a proposal to a man who was silent had amazed him.
After the woman left, Ariel felt back to the real world.
"What day is it, why are you surprised like this?" tanyakanya. Not wanting to for long, Ariel immediately closed the door, put the woman's contact number on the table, and after that, she carried a tray of rice and side dishes in front of Diana, so they can have dinner together. Not forgetting before eating, Ariel prepares water first so as not to choke while eating.

At nine in the evening, when Diana was asleep, the sound of the apartment bell rang again, so Ariel immediately went to open the door.
"Noah, the clock's coming this way?" ariel looked at Noah's face.
"I sprained at home" he said as he gawked inside and sat on the sofa.
"Why order?" ariel asked as she closed the door back and sat down beside Noah.
"Mom and Dad arranged for me without my knowledge, and they didn't even ask me to negotiate."
"Why not refuse?"
"If I could, I would have refused. I actually can't. They kept me." he was upset.
"Om same Aunt why the hell? How could your uncle, after all who want to marry you, why even those who decide at will?" for some reason, Ariel was upset. However, he loved Noah very much, even he considered Noah like his own brother.
"Let's know, the mentang mentang Mama who gave birth to me, Mama continues to force me at will. I'm so tired, Riel. I'm not even a kid anymore, I'm an adult. But why, Mama keeps treating me like a gini, even forcing me to do something I don't like. Want to see when Mama treats me like a doll, they never even let me know, if the phone, it's gonna take money. I've been like their milk cow." Noah revealed the contents of his unengya, Ariel who could not bear to just sigh.
"If you're short of money, I can banatu you."
"Not money is my problem, Riel. I just want to be loved by them, but what. They are always self-centered, even after I can make my own money, they call me every week and always ask to fill their money with a large nominal. I don't have a problem with money, but can they just give me a little attention? And now, they told me to go home and then they asked me to marry someone. And worse, the woman was already two months pregnant."
"WHAT?!" Ariel was shocked by Noah's words just now.
"Yes, she's pregnant. He has admitted everything to me. She was pregnant because she was on perko-sa back at school."
"What age is he?"
"Just seventeen years old, he's still second grade High School."
"Oh my God, what a pity."
"Hemm, he was waiting for his papa in front of the gate. Up to half an hour later he did not show up, and he said the class president happened to pass in front of him and planned to drive him to his house. Without a second thought, he immediately agreed, because he was also tired and hungry. But unfortunately the class president even took the woman to a quiet place and raped her, unfortunately the woman did not immediately tell her parents and chose to close herself up to a month more, he said, when the woman did not come to the moon, then she felt suspicious and bought a tespack, and arrived her mother came and knew everything. The woman was slapped several times until she fainted. The class leader has moved abroad. It turned out that after the incident, he and his parents moved abroad and went on to study there. And the reason why Mama and Papa would accept a pregnant daughter-in-law out of wedlock, that's what I'm confused about. Though they used to hate even half to die when they knew you were making another woman pregnant, but why now I'm even in a match with a woman who is also pregnant. Isn't this a joke?" ask Noah in frustration.
"Well, should they be looking for a daughter-in-law of a woman as well educated as they want?"
"Well, don't they want me to marry a woman who's worth it even if it's more than me. But why is it the opposite."
"Here you go, don't think about it. Maybe he's your soul mate."
"But I don't want to marry a woman who's been touched by another man."
"What do you want, do you want to argue with your own parents?"
"Honestly, yes. But I also do not have the courage to do that, especially the matchmaking has been heard by many people, including the big family ktia, it's just a matter of pregnancy, it's a matter of pregnancy, only me and my parents know. Because I can't possibly tell this disgrace to anyone else, right?"
"Hmm you're right."
"If I could take your place, maybe I would" said Ariel could not bear to see her cousin who was in such severe frustration.
"I'm not going to give it to you even if you want to, I don't want you to take it all because of me" Noah said.
"But why do you have to live it, Noah. You are a good man, and I, I have committed a great sin to make Laras pregnant. I should have been in your position, not the other way around."
Ariel could only be silent, what could she do, while Noah had said that.
"Noah, there's actually something I want to talk to you about. It's just that, hearing your story, I was so worried," he said.
"What do you want to say?" asked Noah curiously, he looked towards Ariel who sighed deeply as if, he also had a heavier problem than himself.
"So someone proposed to me" he said in a low tone, but Noah still heard quite clearly.
"How to apply for a job, want to be Diana's babysitter or household assistant?" asked Noah who was wrong.
"That's not what I mean."
"Continue?"
"She proposed to me to be a wife."
"Well!" Noah's mouth opened because of his shock.
"Hey, why open your mouth wide," upset Ariel made Noah immediately close his mouth using his right hand.
"Hehe's sorry, I'm so pretentious. I think my ears are in trouble again" he said, cleaning his ears that might be dirty.
"Your ears are not in trouble."
"So really, is there a woman who brightly lamar you?"
"Hmm, that's why I'm confused. How to. This is my first time in a woman's room. After all, men who apply for women, this is the opposite. Where is the impromptu again, I'm so confused it feels."
"The woman is beautiful, isn't she?" asked Noah curiously.
"I know."
"Well, how can you not know?"
"And he's closed."
"How close?"
"He's wearing a veil."
"Well, just like the woman I admire, she also wears a veil, unfortunately until this moment I don't know, what her face and name are like, what she is, the people I asked for often lost track of, like she was a smart woman. So that people I can't find out about. And now, when I want to fight for a woman who can make my heart shake, I suddenly get a painful reality."
"Why don't you just fight for him? And refused your parents' request."
"It's like you don't know my parents."
"Hm ... "
They kept talking, talking about women.
"Keep how, you'll accept him?"
"I can't be reckless, NOah. I must pray Istikhoroh first, asking God for guidance. Honestly, if I was asked, if I was ready to live the household again, then the answer, NO. But if God has brought my soul mate faster, what can I do. It could be that woman, God came to help me educate my daughter. Who knows, maybe behind my marriage again. God prepared an unexpected surprise for me, didn't he?"
"Well, which one is he?"
"Next to me."
"Where's that?"
"Next to my apartment."
"What, means he's rich dong."
"Where do I know."
"Surely he is a rich man because who lives here is definitely a person from the upper class. People like me, who can afford an apartment here. Don't buy it, rent it, I don't think I can."
"Ck, you've always been low."
"It's not low, but the reality is so," said Noah who made Ariel shake her head. But what Noah said was the truth. As hard as he works, in fact, he will not be able to match Ariel whose work during the night has fun with his daughter.
If Noah works with energy and brains. Unlike Ariel, who chose to work with the brain only, while his energy for other things.
"But if I can give you some advice, you better take it, Riel. Poor Diana, she also definitely needed a Mother who always accompanied her twenty-four hours. And as you said yesterday, with you getting married, Luna no longer wishes for you. She'll focus on her marriage, and no longer remember the sweet memories between you."
"Huefft, I don't know. But I can't be careless. I have to find out first about it, pray istikhoroh and think carefully. I don't want a second divorce."
"Yes, don't let this wife get pregnant, give birth to a child, uh divorce again. It's not funny, for example, you have many children with different mothers all." Ariel's tease makes Ariel upset.
"Your thoughts are, ' said Ariel pouting.
"Haha, but I swear I can't imagine if that happened. Diana and Dania, they're your son's children with different mothers, like you married again and had a child and divorced, not that it means you have three children with three different mothers."
"You said what the hell, even more slurred. Never mind, I want to sleep first, sleepy," Ariel said and left. While Noah was still laughing looking at Ariel's pouting face.
