"When is this her wedding? What else would you like to look for if not a wife?" bude Lastri asked at the meeting of Pak Wijaya's extended family.
"Not met his soul mate, Bude. Please pray" Adi replied politely.
"Will bude introduce the child of bude friends? Many loh are beautiful," Bude Lastri bargained.
"Thank you for the offer, Bude. But no need, there are already several candidates really, Bude," rejected Adi even with a little lying.
"What kind of wife are you looking for? Do not be too choosy later even difficult to get a mate," advice Bude Lastri.
"Enggeh (yes), Bude."
"That's right Mas, must be asked if there is a rich gini event," whispered Dita who was beside Adi.
"At least Adek was also asked," said Adi slowly while taking the boiled peanuts in front of him.
"Don't be pretentious, Mas," said Dita.
"Eh ... When are you pregnant again?" Bude Lastri now turns to Dita.
Adi laughed mocking Dita, so he knew his only sister was the target of Bude Lastri next.
"It's not okay to get pregnant with a doctor yet, Bude." Dita answered politely.
"Don't be too heard the doctor said. If you want to get pregnant, get pregnant. Many who finished the caesarean section can immediately become pregnant. Mumpung is still young do not delay, it will even be difficult if you want to get pregnant again."
"Yes, Bude. Please pray for us to be trusted again, Bude." Rendra followed.
"Well this. Dita, you have to take care of your husband who is not this handsome so as not to be captured by others."
"Enggeh (yes), Bude. Later locked in the house can not go out, let not be glimpsed by other women," replied Dita joking.
"Ealah .. kabu saiki nek dikandani even guyon. Bude ki ngandani tenan loh ojo is considered a guyon. Kae saiki neng tipi akeh news about actors. Opo meneh bojomu ki ngganteng, kudu sing ati-ati." (Child now if you're told to joke. Bude is serious about telling not to be taken as a joke. That's now on TV a lot of news about the actor. Moreover, your husband is handsome, must be careful.)
"Enggeh, Bude."
"No, Adek also got hit," he mocked Adi after Bude Lastri left them.
"Mas Adi is very satisfied." Dita looked at Adi with an irritated look.
"We're breakeven" Adi said with a small laugh.
"What's up, honey?" asked Rendra who did not know what his wife and sister-in-law were talking about.
"Mas Adi tuh, it is very happy that we are also targeted by Bude Lastri" said Dita.
"Oh, about that. Don't think too much about that, honey." Rendra stroked his wife's head covered in a dark brown hijab, which matched her robe.
"Who is thinking too. Bude Lastri was used to it."
"Thank God then. I'm worried about you, honey."
"Thank you for worrying about me, Mom. I'm fine." Dita cupped Rendra's face with both hands.
Rendra smiled, then grabbed Dita's one hand and kissed her. "I love you, baby."
"Love you too, Mommy." Dita blushed in embarrassment after saying it very quietly, right next to Rendra's ear.
"Ehem .. This is in a public place, Deck. Don't be so friendly here." Adi cleared his throat so that the lovebirds sitting next to him immediately realized where they were.
Dita turned to Adi with a mocking look. "Iri said it, Mas. So quickly find a wife so it's not hot to see the two of us."
"Who's jealous, Dek? I just reminded you of where we are now. Don't forget yourself."
"Yes, yeah. Thank you Adi who is a parsnip."

"Mas" called Bu Hasna to Adi who had just returned from the mosque after performing Asar prayers.
"Yes, Bun. What's up?" Adi approached his mother who was sitting in the family room.
"Sit here, you want to talk." Ms. Hasna patted the sofa beside her.
"Yes, Bun. But can I change my clothes first?" ask Adi.
"Ready, Bun." Adi immediately went to his room to change clothes. It was not until five minutes, he was now sitting next to his mother.
"What's up, Bun?" adi asked with a frown. It's not usual for you to invite him to talk alone if it's not serious enough.
"Are you close to a woman?" mrs Hasna started their conversation that afternoon.
"What the hell is that talking about, Bun?" Instead of answering, Adi asked back.
"The mother's question has not been answered, instead ask the mother."
"Because the answer to Mother's question, depends on Mother's answer," explained Adi.
"Your mother is confused, Mom." Bu Hasna frowned.
"Of course, don't get confused. Mother just answer my question first." Adi grabbed the shoulder of the woman who had given birth to him.
"Adek just said, Mas found out about Adelia."
"The name just knew normal, Bun. It was also only once after we met. After that, we just had a normal conversation. Never discussed anything private."
"Honestly mother, are you interested in her?"
"Which man isn't interested in Adelia, Bun. Beautiful face, proportionate body, friendly and also kind."
"So I'm just interested in the physical?"
"Eh .. not so, Bun. Well, how do you say it. Mmm. .. That means interested in general, Bun. Not really to the heart."
"Is there anything odd, Mom?"
"She was actually, Bun." Adi rubbed his nape because of the nervousness that suddenly ran through his body.
"What's? If only you could know."
"If Adelia means accepting her past. Now he's in the process of hijrah, Bun. My brother helped her." Adi stared fixedly at the mother, wanting to know how her reaction.
Unexpectedly Bu Hasna smiled, she then clasped her son's hand.
"Aren't we all human beings always having a past, whether it's good, whether it's bad? Mas, we should not look down on others because of their bad past. Especially if the person repents. Isn't it nobler than a repentant former thug or prostitute, than an ex-ustaz who ends up performing prostitution?"
"Yes, Bun."
"Adek said that Adelia was establishing herself so that she could have a godly husband. If there is a heart, why not pray Istikharah? It could be Mas's charity field by guiding him to better."
"Well, Mommy doesn't have a problem with her past?"
Ms. Hasna shook her head. "Whatever his past was bad, he's now converted and changed right, Mas. No man is perfect because perfection belongs to God. You're not a perfect person either, so don't look for the perfect one."
"The wife's husband is not two perfect people being one. But two people who complement each other the shortcomings and advantages of their partners. Mas, can see for yourself Adek and Nak Rendra, father and mother. We're not perfect people."
Adi sighed. "Does mom and dad want me to get married?"
Miss Hasna smiled. "No. But we will be calmer and happier if Mas is married. The soul is God's secret. Want us to try as hard as anything, if not fooled will also not unite. On the contrary, we want to avoid like anything, if the match will certainly unite. Look at your grandfather Mas. She never had any intention of marrying young, but it turned out that her soul mate came sooner."
Adi nodded his head. "Prieve me to meet a soul mate soon, Bun."
"Surely it. Without Mas asking for anything, we always pray for Mas, Adek and also Nak Rendra. You're all mothers and fathers' children."
"Thank you, Bun." Adi hugged her mother.
"Actually, I've been praying Istikharah, Bun. But, I still can't get a clue and steadiness," Adi said after breaking her embrace.
Ms. Hasna looked at her son. "Who are you, my mom?"
"Ehmmm ... Adelia," answered Adi.
