"How did you succeed?" Ask Grandma Wijaya from across the phone.
"This is all Grandma's plan, right?"
Grandma Wijaya laughed, "Does Grandma's plan make you happy?"
Arfan smiled smirk, "Very happy grandma, even tonight I will ask for it again."
"Bas with you, once you try it, keep getting hooked!"
"Didn't grandma make me like that?"
"Ah, have fun, Grandma close first!"
Wijaya's grandmother disconnected her phone, she felt very happy. In the end, his favorite grandson gets happiness from the girl he loves, the age difference is quite far not a barrier for them and after all Arfan is not a weathered bachelor who is no longer tough, he said, in fact, he is still able to break the Mentari goal in one try.
Grandma Wijaya smiled to herself imagining that when she was young she was also doing the same thing with Grandpa Arfan, when they were very happy. Although death finally separated them even beloved son also left him alone in this world carrying with him his wife while little Arfan they left with him.
Arfanlah life encouragement grandmother and Arfan is able to make grandmother can survive so far. Time passes by, Arfan has grown up and now he is married. Grandma Wijaya will leave quietly if the time comes because Arfan is no longer alone.
Grandma Wijaya shed her tears, she was happy and sad to remember her life story.
"What's wrong with you?" Mahmud's grandfather, who had just arrived home, approached him.
Grandma Wijaya wiped her tears, "Ah not Mahmud, I just glimpsed earlier. You just got home?"
"Yes, sister, I'm staying at Mona's apartment. The boy was completely unreliable. He can't do anything by himself."
"How's Mud doing?"
"He's improving now, my ex-wife also came to see earlier."
"Are you guys talking to each other?"
"I just talked to him a little."
"Then why do you look unhappy, your face hints at a burden."
"Sister I don't know what Mona did until she got hurt like that, plus my ex-wife asked me to refer her. She just got divorced with her husband because her husband was having an affair with a woman younger than him."
Grandma Wijaya actually knew everything Mona did because Arfan had told everything to grandmother even grandmother confidants intervened in pursuing Mona but grandma did not want to extend the most important problem Arman is fine now and has returned to work so that the grandmother does not want to tell his sister anything about his poor child's temperament is worried about being a mental burden for Mahmud's grandfather.
"Why not shut up, what do you think about this?"
"I don't know what Mona did Mud, the important thing is that she's okay. Regarding your ex-wife, I'm worried that she'll trick you again. But I leave all the decisions to you because you are going to make it, my advice is better not to repeat the same mistake a second time. Think about it!"
Vijaya's grandmother patted his sister on the shoulder, then rose from her seat leaving Mahmud's grandfather alone.
Arfan was still relaxing in front of the television with Mentari, he was keeping his wife who was fast asleep on his lap.
"You're so sweet that you're sleeping like my wife" Arfan pinched Mentari's nose squash that made the girl wake up feeling disturbed.
"Good afternoon princess sleep, finally wake up too huh."
"Oh my goodness, it's late afternoon, brother?" The mentor changed his position to sit.
"I'll clean up first, brother, wait for me!"
Mentari went into the bathroom to wash her face, she stretched her stiff muscles. He looked at his face in the mirror and there was a large amount of a hickey around his neck.
"How is this, why so much?"
Mentari thought of a way that the red marks on his neck could be slightly disguised, even though he was married but if he was seen by others of course he would be very embarrassed.
Arfan knocked on the bathroom door several times because Mentari was inside long enough to wash his face, Mentari opened the door with a pouting face.
"Why is pouting so dear?"
"Look at this brother, my neck is full of blackish-red stamps!" replied Mentari was upset.
Arfan just smiled at Mentari's complaint, "His sister!" The sun quickly left Arfan.
"Eh be careful the path isn't it still a pain?" Arfan followed Mentari to the room.
"It hurts?"
"What brother?" Mentari asked confused.
Arfan pointed under Mentari's stomach while raising his eyebrows.
"Sister..," Mentari.
"I'm just worried baby, don't sulk?" Arfan crouched down in front of Mentari begging Mentari not to sulk at him.
"It's still a little sore, brother, but it's not as painful as it was this morning."
"Don't say it again, brother, I'm ashamed." The sun covered his face.
"Well, now wear this to cover the red marks on your neck!" Arfan gave the foundation he took in the dresser drawer to Mentari.
"Grandmother is really experienced until such a small thing that grandmother also prepared her," thought Arfan praising all that grandmother had done for her.
They decided to go home tonight after dinner at the house.
Grandma greeted them enthusiastically, "How do you like the house?"
"I like Grandma, the house is very spacious and comfortable" replied Mentari.
"Thank God you guys liked it."
"Our grandmother will move there soon, maybe tomorrow after from campus we will directly occupy the house."
"Good sooner will be better for you."
Arfan took Mentari to his room, the first time Mentari entered Arfan's room at his grandmother's house. The room was very neat and impressed masculine with a simple design but accentuated the side of Arfan who really likes sports.
In Arfan's room there is a shelf containing books arranged very neatly, just like him Arfan also likes to read many books.
"Tonight we'll stay here, tomorrow morning to go to your mom and dad's house to get you ready for college." Said Arfan while laying his body on the bed.
Mentari still looking through the contents of Arfan's room, he looked through Arfan's book collection.
Mentari is interested in a book and takes it for her to read its contents.
It turns out that in the book there is a photo that is very similar to Arfan was with a little girl next to him. They seem to be the same age.
Mentari thought it might be possible that the two of them were brothers so as to capture their moment in childhood to be remembered as adults. Mentari urgently asked who the girl was to Arfan because he did not want to be considered as a presumptuous person.
Mentari chose to put the book back on the shelf before actually reading the contents because Arfan called him to go to sleep immediately.
The next morning they prepared to go to college as usual. Arfan drove Mentari home to take the needs that he would bring to campus while asking for permission to take Mentari to move house later in the afternoon to their new home.
"Wouldn't you guys just stay in this house until Mentari finishes her studies?"
"We will learn to live independently, ma'am, so we beg you to be allowed to move as soon as possible."
"Well if it's your decision, we won't mind."
Arfan delivered Mentari to his campus, he will also teach as usual.
"The two newlyweds aura is very different." Siska welcomed the arrival of Mentari with a smile on her lips.
Mentari just smiled, she did not want to horrendousize the entire class if she responded to Siska.
"How is Arman Sis?"
"He can enter the office again, his condition has recovered but can not do the work that is too heavy first."
"Thank God it's Sis, I'm so happy."
In the afternoon after from the campus Arfan and Mentari were busy with their move to a new home, although only their clothes and some of their necessities on campus that they brought turned out to be quite draining of energy both.
Steven himself is not willing if Arfan and Mentari have to move from the club, while picking up Arfan's belongings at the club Steven was a little whining about coming with them to the new house but Sania did not allow Steven to come along today.
"Stev tomorrow we go to the house of uncle and aunty, mama promised to take you there after papa finished bringing his team to play."
"Sania forgive me for being busy with my own business lately so Tomi has to take care of everything alone."
"It's okay Fan, after all Tomi can do everything well."
Arfan and Mentari are still busy cleaning their things, lucky tomorrow weekend so they do not have to go anywhere and can rest all day.
"Sorry dear do we need a housekeeper to take care of this house?"
"I don't think I need it yet, sister, so let's take care of this house together."
Elsewhere, a woman who looked extremely graceful had just gotten off the plane by dragging her large suitcase. She was wearing clothes that formed the curves of her beautiful body as well as sunglasses perched on her pointed nose.
"Arfan I'm back!" said the woman softly while breathing the air of city Z that she had long left behind.
Arfan who was named by the woman suddenly sneezed many times.
"Break first brother, maybe brother's nose put dust in." Mentari gave a tissue to her husband.
"We go on, just a little more."
Arfan cleared everything up, his heart suddenly agitated feeling uneasy like something was going to happen in his life, but he did not want if Mentari knew what he was feeling at the moment.
