"Who is this?" great-grandson Zahira fumbled at the palm of the man earlier.

"Guess" he said.

"Agra?"

"Yes" then the young man looked at Zahira.

"Do you want what?" zahira's tone came back cute.

"Later tonight there's a family dinner, how about we go shopping?" Agra brought his body closer to Zahira.

"What are you doing? This campus" lirih Zahira embarrassed for fear of being noticed around.

"Then come with me shopping" whispered Agra approaching.

"Alright come! Quickly go" Zahira pushed Agra's bongsor body to step up while the young man smiled triumphantly.

"We're just shopping for clothes, why go to a place like this" Zahira protested when she got out of the car.

"Come on in" asked Agra to hold Zahira's hand in the boutique.

When entering the owner came to serve Agra "What do you want to find Mister?"

"Just take out all the best clothes for this girl" Agra said as she looked at Zahira lovingly.

"Good" then all the employees split up looking for clothes that fit Agra's criteria.

A few minutes later they took out a set of fine clothes that were neatly hung up.

"Please be chosen"

Then Agra began to sort out the clothes that he thought fit Zahira, a few minutes choosing he found knee-length drees blue tau that looked glamorous if worn Zahira-engagement.

"Where about this one?" Agra took out one of the clothes he showed Zahira.

"Hm I need ya" whispered Zahira.

"You need to be the most beautiful" said Agra gave the clothes to Zahira.

With her face bent, Zahira assures Agra's request that she enter the dressing room until a few minutes later, the dressing room curtain is drawn showing a graceful looking Zahira with knee-length blue drees chosen by her.

Agra was grounded in the beauty of Zahira until after the daydream was scattered by the voice of the owner.

"How's Mister?"

"Hm" Agra was aghast in shock staring at the owner.

"She said how I look?" sahut Zahira from the dressing room.

"Yes you look beautiful in that outfit, I love it" she replied.

Then the curtain closed again, a few moments after that Zahira came out with her clothes earlier, both of them walked to the cashier's table.

"I paid with this" Agra said, issuing the Atm.

"Well, don't you buy clothes, too?"

"Gue?" get Agra on the girl.

"Yes" Zahira nodded.

"Yet yesterday I will wear the mallem" he replied, then Zahira understood.

...¤¤¤¤...

The three women were turum from the car, they were Zahira, Zareca and Aunt Hilda entered the western restaurant. Even until now Zahira still did not understand about the existence of this meeting, there can be seen Agra and his parents stand up to welcome the arrival of his family, they sat facing each other until a moment later the drink came.

"I've wanted to say this important thing a long time ago" said Mr. Danang to accompany the conversation.

"Just tell me, sir, what do you want to say?" ask Aunt Hilda curious.

While Mr. Danang smiled "I'm too embarrassed to start this too early, let's eat first" he asked a moment later the food menu had come available arranged on the table.

We all ate, but Agra did not give up her eyes on Zahira for a second, she was too cool to look at her. After we finished eating we were treated to dessert but before that Mr. Danang had interrupted first.

"I'll continue with my words"

"Please" said Mama Zahira.

"Well after I think Zahira and Agra have been engaged for quite a while, shouldn't we immediately think about our second marriage plan?" said Mr. Danang who immediately made Zahira choke made.

Uhuk.. Uhuk....

"Darling you're okay?" aunt Hilda asked in panic.

"No Papa Ma" Zahira hurriedly took the juice and drank it in one gulp.

"I'm sorry Om, Zahira. if you are in a hurry, you can refuse it. Om just saying an opinion only" explained Mr. Danang.

"We understand your Zahira as a woman will certainly be a lot of burden carried later, especially we women will take care of household needs and husbands" continued Aunt Jasmine– Agra's mother.

"Not Auntie, Om. Zahira did not have a crush" he replied as he glanced at the two elderly couples.

"So you agree?" sahut Tuan Danang's.

Then suddenly someone interrupted "We agree"

"Zareca" cried Aunt Hilda. Indeed the deswab Zareca–adik from Zahira.

While the two old couples smiled amusedly "It seems you can't wait to have a sister-in-law" said Aunt Jasmine by covering her smile.

"I agree, Om" then Zahira said, but in his heart there was a strange feeling of unhappiness when this was his hope.

"What about Mrs Hilda? " continued Mr. Danang.

"I agree if the kids agree too" he said.

"Then we'll find a good date for the wedding"

"Let's eat dessert to celebrate the union of two families" continued Mr. Danang.

Then all of them opened the food hood, when they saw the food suddenly Zahira felt her head swirling around making the child hold her head because of unbearable pain. Until the next second everyone felt that something was wrong with Zahira, Agra shook the girl's shoulders.

"What are you doing?" said it.

So did everyone say the same thing, as he was slightly able to control his pain Zahira said.

"Could take me to the hospital" she said with a sharp pain.

Then Agra stood up, approached the girl and held her in front of bridal style.

"Let me take Zahira to the hospital while you take care of the restaurant bill" Agra suggested, then everyone understood and nodded.

"Agra be careful" cried Aunt Jasmine as her son was already running away.

...¤¤¤¤...

Arriving at the hospital yard, Agra drove his car carelessly, entering by riding Zahira like earlier when entering the hospital lobby the boy shouted.

"I beg you to hold on" he said hoarsely as if going to cry.

"Doctor nurse please!!" he shouted resignedly by looking around but there was no response they were all busy serving while the receptionist had to queue because of the long queue.

Until finally he resigned and lowered Zahira to sit in the chair wait "Zah lo wait here I will return, I want to find a doctor first" pamitnya then go to ask for help.

While the girl was speechless, her head ached shadow of the past haunting her a few seconds after that she tried to close her eyes who knew the pain would go away on its own. When opening his eyes his intention wanted to feel whether the pain was still there or not. But for the best of spells, no matter how the net saw the figure of Ragil in front of him, the man was smiling towards him.

Whether it was a hallucination or not, Zahira quickly embraced the man she thought was the illusion she had in mind. But strangely the fragrance of the man's perfume can be clearly kissed by Zahira. When in fact it was Ragil who was bending over observing Zahira's face.

"Ragil is this you?" zahira said unconsciously.

"Yes" answered.

While the girl was getting more comfortable in Ragil's arms while rubbing the man's back like a bolster.

"Why are you always hugging me" she asked as Zahira tightened her embrace.

"Because you're so warm, your chest is so wide I'm happy to cry there and you're a good person"

Ragil smiled faintly at Zahira's reply while he also felt sore to have to squat continuously.

"This time how long are you gonna hold me?"

"Twenty-four hours"
