"Today so, Dhek, to Khairi's house? See your mom?" ask Yasna.
"So, Bun, but later, at lunch. I have class, after all Khairi's mother is also at work."
"Remember, yes! In the house people should be polite."
"Yes, Mother. I'm always polite everywhere, too!"
Yasna nodded with a smile. She was happy to see her children always obeying her words. Although Afrin looks glutinous and jutek, but the girl always listens to his words.
"Today I'm leaving with my sister, huh?"
"Why am I?" ask Aydin.
"Later in the afternoon, I'll be picked up by Khairi. If I bring a complicated car, then the car will put it on campus and go back to campus again. If you leave with Brother, delicious, then go home directly," replied Afrin while showing a row of teeth.
"Yes, I'll take you to campus."
Afrin cheered happily. They continued their breakfast quietly. Only Nuri was chattering vague words.
"Yes already, Mother. Papa wants to go first" said Emran after finishing his breakfast.
"Yes, Pa."
"Aren't you going to be with Papa, Dhek?" emran asked his daughter
"No, Pa. I'm just like big brother."
"Yes, Papa left first."
"Yes, Pa."
After the departure of Emran. Aydin and Afrin also left. The man drove his car to the campus of his sister first then to the office. While at home, Nayla still feeds her daughter.
"Not finished eating, honey?" yasna asked Nuri who was being fed by Nayla.
"Mamam" said Nuri.
"Nay, here let Mommy who bribe. You, right, haven't eaten."
"It's okay, Mother. Just a little more!"
"After Nuri's bribe you immediately eat, huh? Don't play with Nuri first, you'll be sick."
"Yes, Mother."
It's not without reason that Yasna talks like that. Nayla rarely has breakfast. After feeding Nuri, surely the little girl invited her mother to play until she forgot her breakfast.

"Aren't you home, Frin?" ask Zahra who saw her best friend has not come home yet. Even fun to read books. Usually the girl after the class is over, goes straight away.
"Not yet, wait for an invitation" replied Afrin.
"You didn't bring a car? Tumben?"
"There's a business for a minute."
"What business?"
"You meet the future-in-law" Afrin replied with a smile.
"Prospective in-laws? You gonna get married? Same who? When's wedding?" ask Zahra streak.
"Yes, hopefully. I'm getting married to Khairi, doain, yes!"
"So you're really going to marry her?"
Afrin nodded her ass. He told Zahra everything about what happened to him and finally decided to go to a more serious level.
In his heart Zahra was happy to hear it, but also worried about her best friend because she also knew that Vira liked Khairi. However, the girl did not want to make Afrin sad. Zahra remained silent, unwilling to question him. He can only give support to his best friend.
"Congratulations, yes, Frin! I'm glad to hear it. May your relationship be fine until marriage and your marriage mawaddah warahmah until death separates."
"Amin, thank you for that. You are my best friend. Even though we just knew."
"You're better" said Zahra with a smile.
The cell phone inside the Afrin bag rang, the name Khairi was there, making the girl smile.
"Cie's been picked up, nih!" Zahra Goda. "I'm jealous of seeing it."
"You are, you can be" said Afrin. "Attime, yeah!"
"Hello, assalamualaikum" said Afrin.
"Waalaikumsalam" said the man across the phone. "I'm up front, honey. Where are you?"
"I'm still in class, wait a minute I'll be out."
"Okay, be careful, honey."
Afrin immediately turned off the call and put her phone in the bag. He's gotta get out. The girl did not want to make Khairi wait too long.
"I go home first, you don't come out?"
"Yes, I'm going to work too. It's gonna start soon."
They both left the class together. Although new to each other, but Afrin more comfortable to be friends with Zahra than Vira and Sisca.
At the parking lot the two split up. Zahra goes to work, while Afrin heads to Khairi's car parked on the campus grounds. The man saw Afrin approaching and opened the car door at the back of Khairi immediately circled the car and intended to sit next to his heart. However, before the man entered, Afrin forbade him.
"Stop! Why come in here? You just sit in front!" exclamation Afrin.
"Kok, in front anyway, honey?"
"We're not legal yet so, just ahead."
"Today we're behind both!"
"That's different, the emergency is not now. Either you're in front or we're not going to your house!"
"Yes, yes, I'm ahead." Forced Khairi to sit in front, next to Ivan.
The assistant who heard it was just trying to hold back a laugh. Only this time there was someone who dared to rule his superiors and Khairi obeyed him.
"Ivan, do you want me to fire?" khairi asked, she knew that her assistant was laughing at her.
"No, sir," said Ivan.
While Afrin is in the back, prefers to play the phone. Ivan drove the car to his superior's family home. All were silent with their own thoughts, only silence accompanied their journey.
"May I ask you something?" afrin started the conversation.
"Yes, just ask," replied Khairi by looking at the glass in front of him, so that he could see Afrin.
"Is your mama fierce?"
Khairi gave a smile and replied, "You'll see, why? you're scared, aren't you?"
It turned out that he was not the only one who was nervous when facing his future father-in-law. Khairi knew how it felt because the man had felt it twice.
"Well, who is not afraid to meet the future in-laws" Afrin replied unconsciously.
"You've already acknowledged mama as a prospective in-law, meaning I'm already your future husband, dong? But I never heard you call me by what name, that is! You never even called my name" Khairi said.
True to what Khairi said, Afrin never called the man's name at all because he was too embarrassed to call him. The girl also did not know what to call Khairi. If you call a name, it will not be polite. If it calls, baby, it's too embarrassing. Mas's call seemed more suitable, but still he was embarrassed for now.
"Darling, I was asked, just shut up?"
"Here, look ahead! Don't talk too much!" exclamation Afrin.
He doesn't want to talk about it. One day the girl will also call him, whether by what call.
Not how long the car they were riding in finally arrived in front of Khairi's house. The man opened the door for his future wife. Ivan also came down, he was like family in this house
"Come, comein!" bring Khairi.
The man walked first followed by Afrin beside him a little backwards. The girl no longer knew how fast her heart was. He could only pray that his heart would be fine.
"Assalamualaikum" said the two as they entered the house.
"You sit here first, yeah. I call for my mama" said Khairi, who was taken by Afrin.
Khairi goes into the house to find her mother. Afrin could not cover up her nervousness at the moment. He was really afraid that his mother Khairi would not accept him.
