Amar and Maryam kept the old house of his grandfather in Islamabad, the house was taken care of by a middle-aged woman, because his grandfather did not have relatives there. The house did not want to be sold, because Granny Amy was still there often to remember her husband. For Granny Amy, the origin of her husband can not be left alone, so she and Amar still often to Pakistan even though there is no family there.
Maryam is very fond of the city of Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan is very beautiful, what else the country like Indonesia, the majority of the population is Islam. And what makes Maryam amazed is her unique clothes, similar to Indian clothes, only in Pakistan more closed without showing her navel.
Today, Maryam is shopping for traditional Pakistani clothing. Maryam is always amazed by her models and materials.
"It's heavy" said Maryam while looking at a set of clothes and she lifted a skirt with a lot of decoration and embroidery, the motif is very beautiful and looks luxurious.
Amar laughed amusedly at Maryam's expression.
"Take it" said Amar.
"But in Indonesia where do you want to dress like this?"
"Who knows if there will be a party themed like Pakistan or India"
"Take it too"
Maryam looked very excited and she picked out a few pieces of clothing that were always a set with her shawl.
After that, Amar invited Maryam to shop for other jewelry, for example. Because Pakistan has a variety of accessories that are so unique.
"I'm tired" whined Maryam and leaned on her husband's shoulder, the two of them were already in the car. Though Amar still want to take Maryam shopping or street. But Mary was complaining of fatigue.
"Yes, we're home" said Amar, peeping his wife's temple, which was swaying spoiled on his shoulder.
Then Amar ordered his driver to take them home, of course using Urdu which was not understood by Maryam except Achcua, Nahi, Ji and sahab.
When Maryam first got there and Amar spoke to her housekeeper, she answered Ji Amar Sahab. Maryam thought Amar had another long name there - sahab. Uh it turns out that sahab is the meaning of his sir.
Arriving at their home, the middle-aged maid welcomes both of them and there is also a middle-aged woman friend Granny Amy.
They chatted with Amar in Urdu, while Maryam could only glance at those who spoke alternately with open mouths. They also often looked at Maryam, smiled, laughed and then nodded.
"What are they talking about?"
And suddenly Amar nodded then looked at Maryam and chuckled.
"It feels like it's on another planet yak"
Then they said something and once again Amar nodded and then they left.
"What are they talking about?" maryam asked Amar after dropping off the woman.
"They're talking about you" replied Amar who made Maryam immediately glared.
"So you guys got me in front of my eyes and I don't understand? But they didn't mention my name at all"
"They say apki biwi. Which artist is your wife, she says your wife is beautiful, and young. And they say if your industry is Pakistani, then it must have had children. Because sometimes Pakistanis marry young because they are definitely in a match"
"Oh, what else? Why do they keep seeing me?"
"They also say, if we're newlyweds, why don't you have a hena in your hand because in Pakistan there's a hena event before the wedding, yes I said it's not necessary, because it's not customary in our country"
"Oooohh that way, just said it like that fun"
"Because what?"
"Because that was wearing green clothes, he said he had wanted to match me with his daughter" Amar said half-whispering.
"Crazy they are.." cried Maryam and immediately stood up which made Amar surprised what else Maryam never shouted before her "In front of your wife she talked about your matchmaking?"
"She just said she wanted to make a match, honey. He's Granny's best friend. And it's common in Pakistan to match each other"
"But you need to discuss it again in front of your wife, right. I don't know how to speak Urdu. Just be careful if he comes back here"
Amar giggled amusedly with Maryam's reaction. While Maryam immediately rushed to her room and continued to grumble.
Amar was just joking.
The woman said she already considers Amar and Granny Amy their family, what else is Granny Amy who did not forget her husband's home country and still consider Pakistan is her home. So when their son brings a daughter-in-law to their house, they will welcome him, and will give them a wedding gift.
They said they would come later tonight and would hold a small party to welcome Maryam there.

"Your face is bent, like a broken heart"
Afsana did not know, between having to cry hysterically or scream loudly in Faraz's ear. If Afsana was accused of playing near a window and deliberately lobbying, now Faraz instead attacked him with another accusation that is very true.
Heartbreaker.
Faraz mocked Afsana and continued to say Afsana like a broken hearted man, Faraz even asked who broke his heart, he said he would break his neck because it broke his brother's heart.
Afsana could only sigh heavily and seriously, hoping that she would not lose control and claw at Faraz's innocent pretentious face.
While Faraz, he really enjoyed the moment where Afsana seemed to hold back upset but sometimes Faraz could not bear when he saw the eyes of Afsana glass.
Faraz only intends to tease her before giving her a surprise later, and at this time, let her keep pretending to not know Afsana's feelings and let all the mockery make Afsana continue to mutter istighfar.
"That's it, Faraz!" strictly Bilal, he felt sorry for Afsana because it continued to be in the corner by Faraz just because it fell from his bedroom window. And Bilal was astonished too, saying Faraz loved Afsana, but what did Faraz do? It even made Afsana angry.
"It's weird, Bi. Ana was an adult, playing by the window, falling again, most because of heartbreak"
Afsana took a breath, and exhaled it slowly, wanting to feel like she said that she was indeed heartbroken, and that was because of Faraz.
"Aren't you really gonna break the neck of the guy who broke Ana's heart?" afsana asked later and Faraz nodded confidently.
"Patahin's just his own brother's neck" ketus Afsana with his annoyance and Faraz instead responded with a laugh amusedly.
Bilal and Hubab who saw it felt something was wrong with Faraz, what else before Faraz who looked always anxious, but now?
