Today is the day when dreams and hopes between two people will come true. Today is the gateway plans for a wedding to be drawn up. Everything was beautiful at the time. Fiki's father who is in Singapore will come to Surabaya to wave his favorite child. At exactly 06.00 WIB, Fiki's father's plane landed at Juanda Airport in Surabaya. His desire to see Fiki get married to the person he loves is in sight. All Fiki's father's hopes are for his only child, Fiki. He looks very happy today. Every now and then on his journey he smiled to himself. Imagine his favorite child will soon have a wedding. And soon he will be a grandfather, who has some very funny grandchildren. Fiki's father's thoughts were currently drifting far away. How happy he will be. He promises to always make time for his grandson. Considering he is now living alone since the death of Mother Fiki twenty-two years ago. The shadow of the accident that killed his wife and daughter still looms in his memory. But Fiki's father doesn't care about any of that. What he thinks now is that Fiki is getting married. Just that, a smile was always drawn on Fiki's father at this moment.
Seen by the man who was at the airport at the time. Also seen the crowd of people who are taking care of flight tickets, or even just looking at the next flight schedule. The man who had a large height, wearing a tie coat with slightly gray hair color was gnawing his suitcase. Five minutes ago, he landed on his plane. He looked around the airport, looking for someone to pick him up. Occasionally the taxi driver offer he ignored. He was waiting for someone at that moment.
From a distance a young man waved at him. He replied with a wave of his hand as well. It looks like the young man is heading here.
“Daddy.. has it been long?” Ask Fiki to her father who just got off the plane. Fiki saw the appearance of her father at that time. Fiki hugged her father for a while. “Daddy, I miss you, how are you dad?” Fiki asked about his father.
“I'm fine my son. I just got off the plane about five minutes ago. How are you?” Fiki's father threw that smile at his son. He was so happy to see his son now grown into an adult. With such a handsome stature, he remembered when he was young. Even according to him, Fiki's face is not much different from his youth first. He smiled and patted Fiki on the shoulder. “Fiki you are very mature now. I think it's time you became a father, just like your father now who has managed to raise you.” Fiki just smiled at his father's words.
“Oh yes.where is your future wife Fiki.” It looks like he's looking for someone.
“He's at Dad's, Fika is preparing at this time.” A smile was on Fiki's face at the time. He was very happy his father wanted to come to Surabaya, waved Fika for him.
“Hahaha. I thought you invited her to pick me up. Yeah, let's propose to him soon. I can't wait to see you marry the woman of your choice. I also can't wait to play with my grandchildren later.”
“Emmm.. alright dad.” Fiki brought her dad's suitcase. They both headed to the airport lobby. And take a taxi to go to Fika's house.

Fika was busy with her clothes. She must look beautiful in front of her future father-in-law. Sometimes he looked at his face in front of the mirror, and applied powder to his cheeks. Fika is so beautiful this time. Brown kebaya clothing with Javanese batik patterns, but very elegant and fashionable. Makes it look more elegant. The hair that is tied is then carried, with makeup that looks oriental without looking full. Her thin, ripe red lips with a bright touch of lipstick make her even more charming. She smiled in the mirror once in a while just to admire her beauty.***
“You do look very pretty my son.” It was Fika's mother who praised her son's current beauty. He looked at the glass and placed both hands on Fika's shoulders. She smiled to see Fika had grown into a mature woman. He will soon be a wife and mother to his children. Reviews of that smile radiated on Mother Fika's face. She is very happy today to be planning her son's wedding.
“Ohh.. mother, thank you for the compliment.” Fika looked at her mother and got wide. “If Mom wasn't pretty, I wouldn't be this pretty either.” Fika continued to spread her smile towards her mother, while raising her eyebrows.
“Fika, wear this locket. Maybe this locket can make you more beautiful in front of your future in-laws.” Fika's mother handed a very beautiful pendant to Fika. Fika accepted it with pleasure. Fika's mother helped her to put the locket on. And right, Fika looks so beautiful from before. The pendant fits Fika perfectly. It looks so graceful and charming. Added with a dress and make-up that matches her sat. Indeed, Fika's face from the beginning was already beautiful. Even though it is still beautiful. Fika's mother still gave her smile to Fika non-stop.
From outside the house, a blue taxi stops right in front of Fika's house. Fiki gets out of the taxi and helps someone open the door. After the taxi door opened, there was a man with a dashing posture, wearing a suit and tie that was very neat, his hair was gray. Looks like the guy's been very established.
“Dad.. please come down.” Fiki opened the taxi door and let her father down. Respect is owned by Fiki since childhood. From childhood his father always taught him to have good manners towards parents. No wonder his son now respects him so much.
The man got off the taxi. “Thank you my son.” Throwing a smile at Fiki.
“Please enter father. This is your son-in-law's house.” Fiki's headed for Fika's house. Upon arriving at the door, Fiki knocked on the door and gave his greetings.
“Assalamualaikum.” Fiki knocked on the door.
“Assalamualaikum.” Hail Fiki. From a distance came a voice that answered Fiki's greeting.
“Waalaikumsalam.” not long ago the locked door was open. Fika's father opened the door. Fika's father shook Fiki's hand as well as her father's. “Come let's please enter.” Fika's father told them to come in.
“Come please sit sir.” Tell Fika's father at that time. Finally Fiki and her father sat on the living room couch. Fiki's father looked at Fika's father. He throws a smile at her. Fika's father returned his smile.
From the inside direction suddenly Fika's mother headed to the living room. “Ehh... Fiki's father has arrived huh? How's travel? Introduce me his mother Fika.” Fika's mother introduced herself. Fiki's father stood up and shook Fika's hand at the time.
“Alhamdulillah smoothly ma'am, Right I am his father Fiki. And I mean my arrival this time, which is to wave Fika to my son Fiki.” Fiki's father smiled at Fika's mother. And Fika's mother returned that smile and chuckled.
“Wah.. wah.. wahh. Hehehe.” Fiki's father was smiling as he scratched his head at Mother Fika's offer. “Already I can not refuse your offer.” They all finally headed to the dining room. After that, they sat in their seats. Fika's mother looked very bothered at that time. He was seen handing out some dishes. After everything at the dinner table got the plate, Fika's mother looked at the dining table with a smile. “Well this is what we can provide sir.” Fika's mother was low at the time. Suddenly, Fika came and brought glasses and kettles containing strawberry syrup. The parade was so graceful at that time, he walked using brown kebaya clothing. His smile adorned every step of the way to the dining table. Fiki could not turn her eyes away, she saw the person she loved so much as a beauty. So did Fiki's father. He looked carefully at Fika, he cleared his throat at that moment. Fiki's father also greatly admired Fika's beauty.
“Fika, let's bring the syrup this shirt.” tell Mother Fika. Fika brought the syrup and put a few glasses to the dining table along with kettles that had been filled with strawberry syrup. Then Fika sat down on the dining chair. Smiling at Fiki and her father.

“Iya sir, I'm Fika.” Fika smiled shyly towards Fiki's father.
“Hahahah.. Smart also you Fiki choose a prospective wife as beautiful as Fika.” Fiki's father nudged his son's shoulder and smiled at Fika. Fiki just smiled looking at her father at that moment. He was happy that his father liked Fika too.

“Let's eat first. Please.” Fika's mother allowed her to eat. Fika helps give rice to Fiki's father.
“Enough sir?” Fika gives the rice that she spoons using the centong to Fiki's father's plate. “Quite son,” Reply Fiki's father who feels the rice on his plate has been fully filled.
“Enough.” Fika gives rice to Fiki's plate. “Enough Fika, thanks.” Fiki smiled at Fika who had finished giving rice to her plate.
Everything was eating at that time, Fiki and his father really enjoyed the food served at that time. Fika smiled seeing that everyone liked her cooking.

“Fika who cook everything pack?” fika's mother said with a smile towards Fiki's father.
“I already thought my son-in-law would cook.” Excited father Fiki. He nudged his son the second time. “Tuh your wife is smart to cook. Watch out for eating out often. Hahahha.” Fiki just smiled at her father's words. And Fiki's father still did not turn his eyes towards Fika. He was very interested in the beauty of his daughter-in-law. Especially with the pendant that Fika is wearing now.
After everything was done, Fika cleaned everything and put the dishes into the kitchen. After that he washed his hands and rushed to head to the living room.

“I'm up to your proposal. Wedding equipment problems will be our family who takes care of.” Fikapun's father finally spoke up in response to Fiki's father's proposal.

“You are so beautiful and graceful son now.” Said Fiki's father who admired Fika's beauty.
“Thank you sir for the compliment.” Fika could only smile in embarrassment at the compliments of her future in-laws.
Fiki's father's eyes couldn't turn away from the locket. Suddenly he frowned. It seemed like he had seen the locket before. He began to remember everything in his brain. While narrowing his eyes he began to think. Sometimes he breathes.
“Nak.. can I see the locket? I'm so interested in the pendant you're wearing.” Fiki's father was eager to see the locket closer. So that the memories in his head can return. Fika took off the locket and handed it to Fiki's father.
