Karin was arranging the cake on the plate, then she stopped her activities, when she heard her best friend's question.
“What does marriage mean?” asked Karin not understanding, then sat down on the chair.
“Raffa wants young marriage,” replied Sita.
Karin's eyes grew bigger.
“Raffa wants young marriage?” tanyanya.
Sita nodded.
“How much time is it now?”
“Mau 20 years, next month,” replied Bu The obstetrician.
“Wah, if not wrong Ferdian also married at that age deh. Try asking Ajeng!” karin said remembering.
“Oh yes? But... how do you explain it?” say Sita is confused.
“Udah there is a candidate?” ask Karin.
“Not yet! But he kept saying that he wanted to marry young, even though he had to step in his mas who was still busy nerusin S2.”
Karin looked at her best friend after she finished putting down her banquet cake.
“You ask, what purpose does he want to marry young? Are you ready mentally, mentally, physically, treasure, and faith?”
“Makjleb, Rin! I have often said that to him, ‘you are really ready? college is still financed by parents, continue to want to pay for what your wife wear? wear love?!’ But he said it again and again. How should I go?” ask Sita confused.
“You just explained, if marriage is not as beautiful as the story on tv or novels, it takes a great responsibility after marrying a woman, in addition to the birth and inner living, the, science and faith are needed,” explained Karin.
“Iya right. Later I will discuss again with Mas Teddy, he said we need a lot of sharing. Is it possible that Raffa is in love?” guess Sita to herself.
“Try me aja. Maybe he doesn't want to date, so he says he wants to marry young. But, marriage is not that easy, unless he is serious with his intentions.”
“Iya deh later I ask again the same him.”
Meanwhile, Arsene had contacted his sister, but it turned out that his training was not over either. So he had to go back to Zaara's sofa.
“Arsene, your plan after graduating High School where to go?” ask Reza when Arsene comes back.
“Mmh... college while business, Om!” the answer.
“You studied in what department?”
“Maybe design or literature,” he replied hesitantly, in fact he just wanted to cover up his talent in the culinary field.
“Like your parents huh? The child is like a fruit that falls not far from the tree. Like Raffa who majored in dentistry, even though his mother was an obstetrician. Zaara is also interested in studying literature like uminya, if informatics techniques seem to be quite difficult Zaara, but she is also not sure sih” explained Reza.
“Zaara want to study where Om?” ask Raffa.
“Not yet, only she wants him to go to a state university. After all the quality of public universities is now much better than before.”
“Yes right, Om! On campus I am now a professional staff and lecturers. The facilities are also not inferior to the elite.” private campus
“We're one alma mater huh?” reza asked the young man beside her.
“Emang Om lecture where was it?”
“University of Earth Pertiwi,” replied Reza.
“Ah turned out, Om Reza alumnus situ too!” raffa said in disbelief.
Suddenly Karin and Sita come to bring cakes brought by Arsene, as well as other cakes that have been prepared Karin.
“It's laughingwhat's chatting?” asked Karin to put the cakes on the guest table.
“No, just found Raffa the same Om Reza one alma mater too,” replied Raffa cheerfully.
“Sama Aunt Karin also dong!” answer Karin.
“Wah it!”
“Eh Arsene diem later, instead of being invited to chat Arsenya, Bi!”
Arsene just smiled.
“Ah yes, abi forgot! There are jobs to send now!” said Reza.
“Well, Arsene's grandfather will act!”
“Astaghfirullah, oh yes, Arsene is Pak Jaya Diningrat's grandson. Masya Allah.”
Arsene smiled again. Reza rushed to his study on the second floor, leaving the people there.
“Arsene what class is it?” ask Raffa.
“I Class 12 SMA, Bang!”
“Ooh Zaara time yes?”
Arsene nodded small.
“They were small when I told you to be betrothed you know, it's funny if you see Arsene with Zaara playing. Frequently scramble, get along once in a while! Kan if it is already big enough to complement,” said Sita laughed a little.
Arsene looks surprised to hear the words of his mommy friend. Raffa was also surprised.
“Eh now meet, class again, unexpectedly,” this time Karin chimed in.
“Oh yes?!” tanya Sita did not believe.
“Iya, it turns out they are in class and we just found out earlier!” said Karin again.
“Wah this real soul mate mah!” sahut Sita laughed.
Arsene seemed to be holding his breath, his eyes wide open. He could no longer bear to be in a situation that cornered him. While Raffa sitting before him kept staring at him, feeling cold and sharp, Arsene realized that. But the gaze was not long, because Arsene's phone immediately sounded. Call from Rainer. He asked permission to lift it.
“Udah done?” arsene asked his sister.
“Iya! I'll wait at the gate, Bang?!” answer Rainer.
“OK!”
Arsene went back into the house and immediately said goodbye to pick up his sister who had finished in his extracurricular activities.
“Greetings to grandparents, Rain too! Be careful on the road!” said Sita.
“Zaara... It's them you want to go home!” karin shouted to his son who was in his room.
The hijab girl went out and drove Arsene along with the others.
“There are many yes Sen, have already bothered to send this cake. Where did you buy it anyway? Very nice cake...” praise Karin.
“E-eh, that..forget Aunt, I do not remember the name of the store, later ask mommy aja!” arsene answered reasoned, covering up the truth.
“Ah yes, later Aunt mommy you aja!” sahut Karin's.
“I'll say goodbye first!” he said it was polite once, then put back another bag containing a cake box for oma and opanya on the bike.
“Why?” ask Arsene.
“Ah ga so, later at school,” said the girl.
“Eh, how about later?!”
“Let's be curious!” answer Zaara who passed from there.
Arsene just shook his head. He said hello and drove his bike away from the house.

Seraphine put on her sparkling face when she saw Rainer running around the field. Sometimes he smiled to himself, making the guy next to him frown.
“Senyam-smile yourself already rich madman aja nih chick!” said Evan.
“Why? Problems with lo?” ask Sera sewot.
“Lo ntar so laughing material with new members,” replied Evan. “Ih turns out, there are stress people in basketball?” said the tall guy was licking.
“Ah bodo time, the important I hepi! Yeay!” sahut Sera is carefree.
“Emang why the hell? You must have a crush on Rainer huh?”
Sera raised both her eyebrows. His eyes did not lie, because Rainer was like a magnet to him. Evan is one of his close friends, it might be okay to be told. Ah, but without even being told the guy himself already knows.
“So I told him to run 5 around, while the other 10 around,” replied Sera.
“Wah really has a crush and why do you just everyone know it will be?” ask Evan in wonder.
“Ah yes, let them know and finally back off, if I, the basketball-savvy Seraphine wants to pedekate with her!” the answer is very confident.
“Duh hard yes if you have been chatting with someone kepedean!”
“Let's go lo!”
“Sipp! He has run 5 around,” said Sera, then the girl with a high pinched her feet forward.
“Rain, stop!” he shouted at Rain who was about to pass through.
The teenager stopped too.
“Why?” tanya Rain panted, her pointy nose looks blooming.
“You rest first!” said Sera in the softest tone possible.
Rain looked at her in surprise, then gave her a suspicious glance. But instead of following Sera's orders, the man ran back with his other friends to continue training.
Sera gawked, then looked at him annoyedly when she saw the guy running. While Evan laughed out loud.
“Sgratiramin lo!”
“Crude times! I am so good with him!” komplens.
“It's not good, but MODE!” said Evan also passed from the girl who still held back his regret.
The girl pursed her lips, stomping her feet. Can't believe it turns out Rain could be that cold on her. Now his brain is spinning again, looking for another way for the guy to notice.
Now, the children of basketball team members who are just starting to practice kick the ball with one hand, push it to the ground and control it with the hand. Grade ten was indeed being taught basic techniques first. However, Rainer was used to doing well, whether it was with his right hand or his left hand. Then they began to be told to do it while walking slowly, still continuing as much as possible to make the ball bounce stably, not too high or low.
Rainer walked leisurely while dribbling the glowing ball. Almost all the students looked at him in astonishment without blinking. The beautiful creature walked in the middle of the roomy like a model only. So that everything was amazed, especially Sera.
“Mampus, I'll have a rival!” he said to himself. He has indeed become ‘dewi’ for his school basketball team, so it is always hailed by his other friends. As for the men's basketball team, not too flashy so they have not tasted achievements, such as the women's team.
“But, I'm sure he'll be my tandem as well as my girlfriend! Hahaha!” he said he was laughing to himself.
“Enthin' rest!” evan yelled at his new members.
Rainer took a bottle of drinking water from his bag and gulped it down his dry throat. Suddenly a man came to him. It was Bagas, the basketball coach of this school team.
“Kanya lo already play often huh?” ask Bagas.
“From small, Bang!” answer Rain briefly.
“Lo want to join the first team?” the trick surprised Rain.
“Mau!”
“OK, let's see you play first. We just broke up!”
“OK, ready!”
“Sipp!”
After the break is over for 30 minutes. Bagas instructs his team, the eleventh graders to play live. He also invited some people from the tenth grade who through his eyes already have good ability to play. Rainer himself entered the team with Evan, who became a playmaker, he positioned as a forward player.
The game begins. All the spectators who were dominated by the members of the basketball team cheered cheerfully. But apparently, the game also invited other students who have completed their excursion activities. Rainer's aura was so powerful as to attract the attention of the students. Sera cheered excitedly, shouting the name of Rainer, the student she had just met.
Just a few minutes from the start, Evan's team had already managed to score points into the basketball ring. It is not Rain who makes points, the young man actually gave a very good assist to other players. The technique of controlling and dragging the ball is neat, so it is not easily captured by the opposing team. Rainer dribbled the ball straight ahead and then did a jump shot, so he easily scored another point.
The audience cheered more and more cheering Evan et al. It seems that the audience is getting more and more. They whispered while asking who the figure of the glowing white youth was. It does not feel four rounds of matches have been over, bringing victory for Evan et al. Rainer himself scored the most in this match. This made Bagas feel salute to the new team members. He brought Rainer directly into the men's basketball core team, while hoping that by joining Rainer will be able to lift the men's basketball team from this school.
The basketball training also disbanded after the completion of the match. Sera ran cheerfully towards Rainer who was chatting with her friend. The girl gave him a bottle of water.
“Lo's game is really cool! I as a 'goddess' in the women's team feel proud finally I have a rival in the men's team. This is for lo!” he held out the bottle to Rainer.
Rainer stared at the girl's radiant smiling face.
“Thank you, but I've brought a lot to drink!” answer Rainer flat. Then he said goodbye to his friends who were there and waltzed away from Sera.
Sera scrunched her face, annoyed. Just this time he met a super flat and cold guy like Rainer. He clenched his hand, then walked to get his bag.
Rainer walked towards the school gate to wait for his brother. His face glittered with sweat, though he had wiped it several times with his small towel. If playing basketball, then he always misses the existence of his daddy, and also his mommy who always cheers when he plays in his school first. He just hopes his family will move here soon so he can get back to encouraging him.
A person wearing a navy-colored thin jacket stopped in front of him with his big motorbike. He took off his helmet and smiled at him.
“Udah done?” ask Arsene.
“Udah!”
“We go to the house opa Gunawan ya?” arsene.
“Gue don't bring change of clothes!” sergeant Rainer.
“Quiet, already Brother Bawain! Nih hold, watch out for broken!”
“What is this?”
“Kue make opa & oma!”
Rainer rode his brother's motorcycle after putting on his helmet, then held the wide box in his right hand. Arsene also sped forward towards the opa Gunawan residence.
