"So, let's start this conversation to a serious stage!" bernard, a tense situation began to approach.

"Well, Lae! Get to the point, how much sinamot are you asking for!" hardik Maruli, staring in his iron candidate.

Sinamot bargaining began. The family put on a very serious face. Core conversations about the demand for sinamot must reach a consensus agreement.

No one wants the sinamot talks to end without a clear demand for numbers. The atmosphere suddenly stiffened even more, Bernard who was about to open his mouth, still fixated on looking at his daughter.

Previously, they had never thought about the appropriate numbers to give boru sasada to her husband later.

"Wait a minute, Lae!" bernard said while thinking about the number of the synamotees.

Maruli nodded, her heart pounding, as her iron uttered the highest number in the sinamot marhata procession.

Although the Bernard family had a beautiful daughter, no doubt made the Bernard family forget themselves to say a fantastic number for the demand for the number of synamots.

The sinamot bargain began. Bernard began to pronounce a number that he thought fit the self-esteem of his daughter.

"I want 5 billion, Lae! Later it was used according to the customary procession, given to relatives and relatives, especially the part for the bones," explained Bernard, putting emphasis on the price of the dowry.

Maruli thought for a moment, that number could actually be released. That amount, only a fraction of the wealth he had.

However, after his son married, he also still has responsibilities, giving a decent home, and other needs. Especially for the expenditure of fixed events will be prepared by the male family, the expenditure is different from the sinamot money.

"Too expensive, Lae! Drop it!" maruli said, start to reprimand.

"Well, what do you think, drillu?" lecar Bernard, staring at the rough of his sausage.

Jesika looked down embarrassed, occasionally she glanced at Alex. However, Alex only smiled faintly as his future wife stared.

"As for you!" sahut Jesika, give the opportunity to negotiate with the father.

"What about 4 billion, Lae! You know, our drill this is boru sasada, education is not cans! The predicate of the scholar has been achieved, his appearance? See for yourself, no doubt," added Bernard, negotiating as if Jesika was an item to be bought.

"Still mind it, Lae! My son is also a doctor! Staying overseas, no less awesome!" maruli said, pleading.

"What do you think, Lex? What's the price of 4 billion for your future wife?" look at Bernard, raise a question for his future son-in-law.

Alex fell silent and smiled among the elders in the house. Before long, he asked Jesika directly.

"Well, what do you think? Assert the price that the bones say for the value of our marriage?" he said full of meek.

Jesika was quite fixated, when she heard the heavy voice of her future husband. His face had captivated Jesika from the beginning, especially with his voice increasingly melted Jesika's heart, when he heard the voice.

"Ehm .. if I'm how family. The point is not burdensome brother and family but nominally still glorify our family" he replied wisely.

Bernard who listened to Jesika's explanation began to lower his prestige. He also does not want to burden the parents of the bride and groom. For, possessions are not the most important for him, as long as the only child they have is happy.

"Here, Lae, I decided to ask for 2 billion synamots! The price is not too cheap and not too high for entrepreneurs like us. This is the last price we ask, if Lae and the family refuse, we better cancel this match," Bernard said, staring at Maruli.

"All right! Agree with us, yes!" Maruli reached out her hand, shaking Bernad's hand with vigor.

Marhata sinamot continues, the synamot when will be handed over by men is also a serious discussion. Symbolically, the sinamot will be given in part or referred to as bohi ni sinamot.

Therefore, Alex's family would prepare two million as symbolic gifts the next day.

"Tomorrow, we'll come here again, Lae. Deliver the synamotes you asked for. Giving according to batak custom, we leave only a symbolic limit, for the full nominal we will send through the transfer," said Maruli, continuing the chat about the sinamot agreement.

Bernard nodded obediently, it was merely symbolic. Most importantly, her son would legitimately marry a candidate of his own choice. He hoped that Alex would be a good husband for Jesika.

"Then we say yes, Lae! It's been very night, and tomorrow we'll be back. Be prepared to welcome us."

Maruli got up from her seat, then approached Bernard who was in front. He shook that hand, then took turns to Bernard—Irma's wife.

Not only Maruli, all the family followed the old man. The wife, Ima also moved, kissing the right and left cheeks of her mother Jesika, the same thing she did when saying goodbye to her future daughter-in-law.

Meanwhile, Alex also shook hands with his two future in-laws. Not to forget, he took the time to shake hands with Jesika. Both of them were still very timid, not even a word was spoken.

After Alexander Sidabutar's family left the Jesika residence, the woman hurriedly ran into the room. He jumped up and down in the room.

Unexpectedly, the husband he wanted was already in the eye pelukan. Just a step away, she will bear the status as a lady of sidabutar.

"Asikk!! Why did not you ever match me with that man. If that's the case, I like it!" kekeh Jesika, while jumping up and down in excitement.

***

At Alexander's residence, Jesika's future husband also felt the same way. The price of sinamot is not a difficult thing to complete. He gave full power to his parents who will prepare the synamotes of 2 billion.

"No woman is that beautiful! Inhuman! Huhh!" sighed Alex, throwing his body hard on the bed, his eyes looked at the ceiling while imagining the beautiful face of Jesika.

In fact, Alex can't wait to get to know Jesika more deeply. Although later the introduction must be done when they are married later.

Further introduction before marriage is still taboo. Moreover, preventing the cancellation of arranged marriages, it is feared that it will embarrass each family.

****

Jesika still remembered clearly, Alexander's handsome face, sturdy and dashing. He shook his head to break the dirty thoughts that enter the brain.

Strange but real, Jesika is imagining sleeping alone with Alex after legitimately becoming a married couple.

"ah! I can't wait, I hope he's a romantic! Just like the character of his face, which showed warmth and gentleness. At first glance, it looked kind and well mannered, "inner Jesika, laid her body on the bed.

He could not wait until tomorrow to see Alexander's handsome face.
