If he doesn't do his best to have you, then he's not the best for you...
After Nathan learned the results of DNA tests he conducted on the fetus in the womb Fahira Febrina is the result of a misunderstanding that results in Nathan is very happy.
Nathan rushes to Fahira's treatment room after the test results are positive and is already in his grasp.
Rona was happy to be shown by Nathan. His smile did not fade into Fahira's treatment room. Nathan takes the initiative to drive Fahira home. Like a tit for tat, Nathan's wish was asserted by Fahira.
There was a small incident that colored the process, namely Fahira who was so nervous and grooved that he forgot how to install a seat belt.
"Yes how come this, why can I forget, bedaki has Faika's foot in his car with this one."
Nathan who saw this only smiled in response to the miraculous behavior of the young girl who had begun to captivate his heart. A teenage girl who just started college has been pregnant with her baby.
Nathan immediately helped Fahira to install the setbelt without saying much. Nathan gently stroked Fahira's hair. Nathan's treatment made him more groggy, his heart pumped strongly, until the pounding was felt by Nathan who was very close to his position with Fahira.
"What happened to me, there was a strange sigh going on in my heart, is it possible that I've fallen in love with her? as Hasmiah says that heart and heart pounding strongly is a sign that he is in love, but when I fell in love with him?, it could not happen"
Fahira shook his head in a sign of disagreeing with his own thinking. Nathan who saw him immediately asked Fahira because he was worried if something happened to Fahira.
"Why are you, you're okay, right?" nathan asked who was getting worried.
"Iye, no-no whatji sir," replied Fahira.
A little while later, Nathan's car arrived in front of Faika's house. Suharti's mother who heard the sound of a car engine that stopped in a hurry walked towards the front of her house. Suharti's mother slid a little curtain of her window curtains. After finding out who had come, Mother Suharti immediately opened the door, and walked over to them.
"Sit used to be at home son," said Suharti's mother.
"Yes ma'am thank you, next time, because there is still work to be done," replied Nathan who refused subtly the invitation from his mother Fahira.
Nathan walked back into his car and drove his car to his apartment, because there was something he immediately worked on in preparation to propose to Fahira tomorrow. Nathan intends to browse and find out about the procedures and customs of applying to Bugis Makassar women through the internet.
While Ms. Marissa, Faika and Rian have gone to the Mall to find Nathan's proposal for Fahira. Rian who acts as a driver does not stop staring at Faika through the rearview mirror of his car.
"Why are you getting beautiful in my eyes every day, Faika Mas please open your heart to Mas again."
"Rian Alaric Kim, if you bring the car, the view must be straight forward, not the rearview mirror of the car that is always looked at" said Mami smiling at the behavior of her son.
Rian only smiled because what he did was seen directly by his mother.
Faika only went silent without a word, and only thought about what she should decide for her relationship with her superior.
"Fa if in Kampung You tuh if people want to marry what should be prepared? incidentally, Ponakan Mami planned to propose her heart which happened to be Makassar people," said Ms. Marissa.
Faika did not immediately answer questions from Ms. Marissa Nasution Kim. Faika thinks that the woman is very lucky because she will soon be memorized by her heart.
"Faika dear," said Ms. Marissa.
"Ooh If the customary procession of the application until the marriage of the Makassarese is quite long and takes a long time and costs are not small, if in Makassar there is the name of money panaik, panaik, money panaik or dowry is often a polemic and a small debate when applying for a girl," Faika replied.
"? was?I mean Fa, Mami doesn't understand your explanation?" mother Marissa asked who was confused by Faika's explanation.
"I mean Gini Mi, I mean, for example, tomorrow Mami comes to propose to a girl and the family of the bride asking for some money or items as a wedding dowry and later the dowry will usually be used as a fee by the family women to carry out all the series of weddings until the end" said Faika at length.
"Ooh yeah, but what money was Fa?" ask Marissa's mother again.
"Mami's panaik," Rian chimps from the front of the wheel.
"Yes that's what Mami means, is the dowry determined by two female parents or according to the ability of the male family, for example Mami can only bring 10 million money, what can it be like?" ask her mother again.
"If the Mahar's money depends on the agreement and requests from the family of women, for example the father of the girl asked for 100 million as her dowry, and men must provide and approve the request in order to be accepted application," he said.
"But, for example, in men can not do dong Fa?" ask Mami Marissa again.
"Rejected" said Faika and Rian together.
Marissa's mother, who heard this, smiled. Faika and Rian looked at each other without talking to each other.
"So if for example tomorrow the pounding of Aunt supports the request of the prospective family even exceeds the nominal is it possible and is it okay?" ask Marissa.
"That's even good and makes the female family very happy, but there are also families who do not set a target amount of dowry money all depends on both sides," Faika said.
"A little exciting is also the process, but how do they put the price well like people who negotiate in trading and buying and selling only?" ask Mommy.
"So if I ask you how are you?" ask Rian who is quite serious.
The words from Rian's mouth made Faika speechless and could not believe what she had just heard. Marissa's mother looked at them in turn and smiled meaningfully.
"So the more dowry money the better," said his mother who broke the silence between them.
"Iye Mi, in fact, will be increasingly seen, appreciated and will get praise by other families for family members who hold weddings, but there are also ordinary and adjust the ability of the male family, the family, Because there are also those who have to owe and borrow here and there to carry out their child's marriage for their prestige" explained Faika.
"Doubtful if you have to force yourself to meet the wishes of the family of the prospective wife even though there is no ability and ability that ends in accounts payable," said Mami Marissa.
"Families think goods and basic needs are increasing in price so that many are based on the price of basic food to determine the nominal amount of dowry they must provide," faika said the wrong way because of her eyes Rian sellau towards her.
"Later if my son who married his lover Mami will immediately express the nominal amount of dowry money that will make the family of women not bargain anymore," said Mami Marissa who made Faika and Rian cough a small cough.
"What happened to you guys, are you okay?" ask Mother Marissa who was surprised by the reaction of those who were always compliant.
"This is an example of you guys being a fool."
"Is there anything else the Fa needs to prepare besides the dowry?" he asked again who was very enthusiastic to hear the explanation from Faika.
"There are Mi, such as wedding offerings and some kinds of cakes and fruits that must be present at the time of application or marriage agreement, and there are also complementary Mahar money such as, Sawah, and so on, Cows or houses and their contents and gold one complete stel is also sometimes there, but it all comes back again the same ability of the Family and the sincerity of the Men's family," Faika said at length.
Rian never tired of stealing glances towards Faika who sometimes smiled that could make Rian.
This is a wedding ceremony that must exist during the application and marriage contract of Makassar tribal customs especially the Takalar area where Fahira was born.
"Wooow is still there, Mami thinks only dowry money should be prepared tomorrow," he said who is increasingly interested and challenged to immediately propose Fahira his lover Nathan.
"There are dodorok cakes, umba-umba cakes, legit layer cakes that must be there during the application event and wedding later," he said.
"Let's show it's the cake you mean, Mami never heard of the two types of cake you mean,"
Faika immediately searched for a picture of the internet cake she was referring to.
"And if this one is a Dodorok cake loaded with philosophical meaning for the continuity of one's marriage."
"If it's a Umbrella Cake' and there is value and meaning of the cake Mi,"
Mami Marissa immediately approached Faika and saw the shape of the cake.
"Is it just this cake that we must bring, or there are still others still there is Mi because the more the number and model of the cake the more appreciation of a man in women the higher" he said.
"Gogosok If in Makassar and usually if the area of Java usually people call Lemper but, if the original Makassar there is no stuffing material just plain glutinous rice alone."
"If Gini Mami had to ask her friend Arisan Mami and ask their help to find the food seller before we go to the woman's house,"
Mami Marissa immediately called the phone number of some of her fellow tourists. Cars have entered the Mall area where they will shop several kinds of offerings.
Such is the summary of customs commonly done in Kampung othor if there is a customary wedding party. The more lively and magnificent the event means the social status of a person is getting higher as well.
The level and size of the dowry will make a family that holds a wedding celebration will make it more visible, more appreciated by the community will even go viral instantly during the wedding. In the Othor area if someone held a simple celebration they would become a byword and would be branded as a poor family who had nothing.
