Alexander stood up. He also did what Jesika did. The two conglomerate families introduced each other.
"Continue introductions between families, yes! Here, we bring a complete family, there is the first Alex, his name is July, ito both his name is Beta Riana, and Alex our third child aka ready and" said Maruli at length.
Maruli continued her words, explaining that one by one who came to accompany her, starting from the bones, namboru and uda Alex, maktua, all were complete to attend except for Alex's opung which had been gone for a long time.
Alternately, Bernard also introduced his family of only three people including himself.
"As you can see here, my wife and I have only one child, Jesika. But for those who accompany me there are my brothers and sisters from my wife's family."
"Just like the family you brought, we were complete. There are bones, names, aunts, and jesika's horse" he added later.
Family meetings lasted long enough. Between families talk to each other, talk about habits that are often done by each family.
Not only that, business issues are also presented openly. From Alex's family, began to reveal about the various businesses owned.
Alex's family holds a farm business, the largest landowner and even his parents are dubbed as takur masters, as well as the owner of a minimarket franchise that develops throughout their country.
While the Jesika family, his father is a reliable businessman in the field of entertainment special recruitment of batak song singers, karaoke business owners are scattered throughout the big cities, especially in big cities, as well as the main shareholder of the largest mall in the city of Medan.
Although living in the village, the Jesika family is very famous for handling the business they have. They can even control everything from the village. No need to bother coming to the place of establishment of owned businesses.
"So that's it, lae! Our efforts are different, our income is different but we cannot disclose how much we earn for a year" said Maruli, shyly.
"It also includes company secrets, lae!" timpal Bernard chuckled, for he also could not convey how much his family earned.
It was very sensitive let alone a lot of his family who watched, hunting for the treasure he produced, when he was gone. Because, the Bernard family customs are very thick, as long as there is no successor who is a son, the treasure cannot all fall into the hands of girls alone.
At least, the income of the Bernard family, currently still able to meet all the needs of the wastewater, do not need to work hard to do just to support yourself.
On the other hand, when the family was busy talking, Alex stole a glance, watching the beauty of his future wife. He wanted to talk directly to the woman.
Very interesting to him, the woman looked innocent as well as wild. It looks unusual. Naturally, a child conglomerate who lives in the village must follow the latest fashion style in the style of city children.
No wonder for Alex, because he himself also really likes the types of women like Jesika. Beautiful, innocent, but wild looking at only one glance.
He knew that Jesika was not just a typical plain and gentle woman. The woman seemed to understand the level of dating even about the type of man she liked. Although the truth is, Jesika's fine lady is just a little naughty and a fad.
"Eat us first" said Bernard, allowing guests and the rest of the family to dine.
At that time, it was 8 pm, both families enjoyed dinner served as well as food brought by the Alexander family. They enjoyed a large meal from the Jesika family.

There was no sound, the atmosphere was instantly silent, everyone was busy spending a sumptuous banquet that night.
Typical food that batak people, presented complete at the engagement preparation meeting of two people who do not know each other.
After half an hour passed, everyone finished eating the food. Almost all the toilet food, has moved to the stomach of the people who were there.
The waiters swiftly cleaned the dishes, glasses, and buffets as a side dish container that night.
"So how's lae, ready for our son to be married?" maruli asked Bernard, again continuing the hot topic of the purpose of the family's arrival that night.
"If we, as a family of women, we have to ask the drill directly. Everything must be based on his consent, he who is undergoing this marriage, not me" Bernard said.
"Masa Lae married our son—Alex," kekeh Maruli.
All the families who were there, welcomed the laughter from the jokes of the two middle-aged men.
"Just ask, Lae!" maruli said, staring intently at Bernard.
"Where, drill? You want to marry Alex? If you want, it means being the same father as Alex's mother" Bernard said, staring at his daughter and waiting for an answer.
Jesika bowed shyly. However, he did not want to give a blatant answer, could be big head later Alexander Sidabutar if he immediately agree to the question of the father.
"If it were me, how would Alex do, sir!" his words while bowing shyly.
"Well, why did you even ask Alex? If Alex wants the invitation, given a beautiful woman as you are, which man refuses, right?" cananda Bernard giggled amusedly.
"Yes, boru, you must answer. If you're ready to be won, we'll just wait for Alex's answer. Won't she ask you?" timpal Irma, gazed within the beautiful bead of Jesika, who immediately looked at her as she began to speak.
"Hmm .. want!" so that the families did not hear the vague words of Jesika's mouth.
"A–what did you say was boru? Like gargles. Did you hear Alex?" Bernard turned his gaze, looked at Alex, glaring, and opened his eyes.
"Make sure your candidate doesn't listen!" regret Bernard.
"Down your voice, Lae! Afraid that our future parmaen candidate," Maruli clerk, defended the prospective daughter-in-law.
For some reason, the two close-knit middle-aged men liked to argue. When talking about something as important and serious as this, they were joking.
"Yes, I want to, sir!" jesika said with a raucous voice.
His cheeks immediately turned red, then turned to face Alexander Sidabutar timidly. Once upon a look, Jesika instantly fell in love with the handsome doctor's first sight.
"No, you heard me, Lex? Do you want my drill, you're ready to propose to her yourself?" bernard's lizard, switched to catching the iris of the eagle's eye of his prospective helper.
Without hesitation, Alexander replied clearly and firmly. "I'm ready, Bones!"
Bernard and Maruli exclaimed triumphantly, a knotty smile embedded in both of them. They feel proud to match each other's children.
In fact, the two candidates stared at each other bashfully after agreeing to the engagement until it continued into the wedding procession.
Although the two agreed to an arranged marriage, it did not necessarily make the two of them directly approach each other. The man and woman were still keeping their distance, yet continuing the introduction to a more personal stage.
"We are the ones that are different!" shouted Maruli spirit.
"Thank God, sir! No one is resisting this matchmaking," continued Ima, smiling proudly, looking at her future daughter-in-law who is very beautiful but being shy.
