Gabriel is Juna's son and the granddaughter of Mira's grandmother. After arriving home, Gabriel immediately thought what was wrong with his parents and also the family that had met.
Gabriel had heard about matchmaking, and that meant whose matchmaking? Gabriel was very curious and curious.
Until now he should have been asleep but it was difficult to close his eyes. Because Gabriel is still not calm about whose matchmaking problem ?
''It's late, but I can't sleep. I was very curious as to who they would match.'' Gabriel said to himself.
Until finally Gabriel wanted to close his eyes with a little force to sleep. Because it is very late.

It's morning now.
Gabriel had woken up earlier, but his body felt bad when he woke up because he was sleepless last night due to staying up late and thinking about one thing.
Gabriel had taken a bath and his body was fresher now, the young man walked up to his parents who were eating.
''For Ma, Pa'' her bro then sat down to join her
''Yes morning, how tumben rather poor Gab building.?'' ask Mama Gabriel the Native American who of course is very bule but is fluent in Indonesian.
''Yes Mam, it was still sleepy Gabriel's excuse
''Hm so, yaudah let's eat.'' said Mama
''Yes ma''
''Son, you went to college in management ?'' papa Juna asked while looking at Gabriel
''Yes so Pa.'' said Gabriel
''Yes, good son, so that you will understand about business. And Papa also wants you to later be able to develop our family company, said Juna Papa Gabriel
''Well Pa, because I'm also interested in that field. That's why I chose that part of the lecture said Gabriel indeed this is his choice.
''Good Gab, of course Papa is happy and supports you.''
Gabriel replied with a smile.
''Pa, did we tell Gabriel now about his matchmaking. He may have understood enough. Also so that he is not close to someone is Pa.'' whispered Caterin Juna's wife.
''You have a point also honey, maybe we should tell him.'' replied Juna
''Hmm.''
It just so happened that Papa Juna wanted to talk, and it turned out that Gabriel was going to ask him something. ''Pa, Gabriel wanted to ask you about dinner last night. Gabriel had heard about the matchmaking, that if you may know who is talking about the matchmaking?'' gabriel's question is very fitting as Juna wants to talk to Gabriel.
Juna looked at his wife Caterin and they looked at each other and smiled.
''Gab, Papa and Mama really want to talk about the matchmaking.'' said Mama Gabriel.
''Let your Papa do the talking, come on pa.''
''Gini son, did you hear when Grandma and Oma Airin mentioned about the arranged marriage between us?'' ask Juna first
''Hm yes pa, Gab listen.''
''Well, we will match that you are the same granddaughter of Oma Airin, so Gab.'' now tell Papa Juna.
''W-what, my matchmaking. Pa?'' Gabriel was in shock to think that what they meant was him. This is ridiculous Gabriel thought.
''Oh, honey, we will match you. What do you think?'' now ask Mama to make a sound
''Sorry Ma, Pa. But Gabriel refused. First Gabriel was still a student, then Mama and papa suddenly wanted to betroth that. Doesn't Papa want Gabriel to succeed ? Then, what is all this Pa?'' said Gabriel firmly.
Gabriel's rejection was never imagined before by his parents. They thought Gabriel would accept it, because Gabriel had never opposed any decision from the parents. Which Gabriel thought was indeed a favor to him.
But this time Gabriel refused.
''Dear calm first, it is indeed in a match. But that doesn't mean the wedding is now, son, that's not it. Yes, it means that we told you about this because so that you are not close to anyone anymore is Nak.'' said Mama trying to give understanding to Gabriel.
''Jeez Ma, Mama is also supportive about this? Since when did Mama follow up on matchmaking, Pa . Ma , we are no longer in the past.'' said Gabriel very upset for sure.
''Ok, this is how you try to know your future wife first. If it does not feel suitable then we decide everything to you, said Papa Juna
''Oma Airin's granddaughter how many years Pa?'' ask Gabriel.
''That's my son, he's still thirteen.''
''What? thirteen years Pa. Jeez, this is so messed up, Papa's betrothed a kid who still doesn't understand anything, and still doesn't know the opposite sex maybe. Oh Good Pa, Ma. Sorry but what do you parents think ?'' Gabriel felt this was not true.
''It's not like that, son, we are not comfortable if you reject it because your Grandmother with Aunt Airin wants their friendship to remain strong by betrothal to the Grandchildren so that later it will become family.'' explained Juna
''Well why not their children who were betrothed to Pa, not his grandchildren. It is clearly a small one.'' Speak from Gabriel
''Gabriel can't be so.'' Mama's reprimand doesn't like Gabriel's tone.
''I'm sorry ma, I don't understand it and yes honestly I feel upset.'' Gabriel replied to his heart.
''Yes, it is impossible that we are being betrothed to mean Papa right? Aunty Airin's children there are two, first Mbak Salsa clearly above Papa's age is even married, then another Arsen, he's a man of our time to be married. It can't be Gabriel.'' Papa explained.
''But I'm sorry, ma. Gabriel seems to still not be able to accept all this. First we were kids and secondly I just went to college and didn't work. Also me ... Suddenly Gabriel's tongue felt hard to continue his words again.
''What? Gab, what are you?'' asked Papa looking seriously
''I ... Em, it's Pa.''
''What? what are you ... Is there something you like ?'' ask Papa Juna
''Well, like it?'' repeated Gabriel softly but suddenly there was a shadow of a girl smiling at him.
