"Will you be my sister-in-law? " ask Doni suddenly while clutching Lukman's fingers.
"Are you proposing to me?" lukman asked, holding back a smile.
Doni nodded quickly many times.
"Where are the rings and flowers?"
Lukman removed his hand from Doni's grasp and raised his hand.
"It has to be like that?" doni asked confused while scratching his shabby hair.
Lukman revealed Doni's hair covering the teenager's forehead with his right hand and then "princkk" his left hand flicked Doni's forehead very hard.
"Amgh!!! this is a bang! issshh...you love to suck me up" Doni rubbed his red-looking forehead.
"How long haven't you been shampooing? hii.. slovenly!" Lukman rubbed his hands on Doni's shirt with a disgusted face.
"I'm serious bang. I proposed to you for my ambitious brother"
"You know your sister is ambitious and wants me to marry her. You're gonna set me up, aren't you?" Lukman looked at him with a full glance.
"It's not like that bang, my brother needs someone like you" Doni looked serious when he said it.
"You don't even know my name, little boy?
"Doni. Ahmad Romadloni's"
"How old are you?"
"15 years"
"Are you skipping school? what class are you in ?"
"It was supposed to be ninth grade but it's been two months since I went to school"
"Where do you live?"
"In the area nggenuk watu bang, in Kali deres. Bang.... Brother want to be my sister-in-law?" ask again.
"Hufffhhhttt... hahaha hha...hhaa hahahh...." Zainal who had been a loyal listener was no longer able to hold back his laughter.
"Just this time I saw a little sister who proposed to a man for her brother, ouch. my stomach, ouch you are very funny" Zainal held her stomach that was clouded because she had been holding back her laughter.
"Why indeed? I'm his guardian. I can match her up and find a husband for my sister. We have no parents or paternal uncles. So I'm the one who's going to marry my sister later" Doni said in a loud voice while looking at Zainal.
"Is that really bang?" He turned his eyes to Lukman with a softened voice.
"Hem.." Lukman replied confirming.
"I want someone to take care of her and make her happy. He's been working hard for me, but I've always troubled him. And if one day I go to jail I don't have to worry anymore if he's married to the right guy." The teenager said it.
Zainal was silent to Doni's confession. He did not expect the thoughts of this teenager had been so far away to find a suitable man for his brother because he felt responsible. Zainal was ashamed of himself. He is much older than Doni but he is still lazy and less responsible. His parents are old and often sick. They asked him to take over the responsibility of the self-service but he was still lazing around. It was Mr. Dirman who was eventually trusted by his parents as director for a while until Zainal was ready.
"Bangs.... Dirman sir is that brother?" Zainal asked out of curiosity about the interaction of Mr. Dirman and Lukman while in the meeting room earlier.
"Aahh... means my future-in-law?"
"Ask Ani about our status!" Said Lukman again.
"I mean....? what does bang ask? if Mr. Dirman's father's brother would mean his father's doctor Ani, it means Mr. Dirman my future father-in-law. Is that so bang? Why ask again." Answer Zainal with his assumptions.
"You're so chatty! " Lukman nudged the cap of the betadine bottle to Zainal's forehead.
"Aaahh, issshh! good thing you're my sister-in-law's candidate otherwise..uugh". He was furious with Lukman himself.
"What if I'm not her brother? do you dare me?" Tanya Lukman sok.
"Not bang..no! I'm just kidding bang..santuy bang!" Zainal tried to give up. Find it safe means.
"Ask me tomorrow if you meet. How our relationship really is. Watch out if you mess around. Keep your eyes and hands when you meet him. Or I'll break your whole body!!!" Lukman let out a violent voice to threaten Zainal.
"I know bang... That means brother bless us right? thank you bang" said Zainal glad to have got one support.

After that day Lukman paid off all the school administration fees that Doni had not paid. Lukman himself who came to school apologizing and leave Doni to the teacher who is responsible like a brother.
He also moved Doni's 'sisters' to an orphanage that he regularly visited with his family, especially himself who taught martial arts there so that Doni no longer needed to worry about their lives.
Lukman also hired Doni at his stand in the supermarket TOP DEWE. Doni was placed in second shift because the next morning he had to go to school. The reason Lukman told Doni to work was so that the teenage boy would have activities after school and so that he could ease his brother's burden a little.
Lukman is an agricultural scholar who tries his luck by trading following in the footsteps of bang Alif selling men's accecories items from purses, bags, hats, shoes and key chains.
It had been a year that he wrestled with her but the path was not as he had expected. The sale is ordinary not like bang Alif who seems to be a soul mate in that field until now has his offline store, also has a warehouse next to him. Its delivery has also penetrated into various countries even though it is still an individual.
Lukman was a good farmer. Everything he planted must grow and bear fruit. In his yard he grew vegetables in polybags. Arranging neatly makes the home page look cool and beautiful.
While in the yard of the house bang Alif he planted the existing land with various fruit plants so that they often stay just picking when the time is fruitful. There are water guava, guava, longan, strawberry, green grapes.
Lukman also planted some flowers to beautify their yard.
Contrary to the appearance of a cupu like people, the way to arrange the various plants is very beautiful makes everyone feel at home to see their yard. Especially in the middle between the yard itself and the page bang Alif there is a swing that can be used by four adults at once.
Lukman also worked on his family's rice fields with a profit-sharing system. Her aunt's paddy field which has now been divided into two into the property of bang Alif and Ani. While the father's property, Mr. Dirman has also been given to himself and his sister Karina.
Actually, the income is quite good if calculated even sometimes greater income than the salary of UMR. But somehow after he had savings there was an incident that made him have to reach into his savings until almost exhausted.
So until now his dream to buy his own rice field has not been realized
