"Are you really done with your studies, son?" tanya Cakra.
"Yes, Pa. Rissa has graduated, so tomorrow will go home." replied Carissa reassured.

"Thank you, Pa. Oh yes Rissa ask you please don't tell Om Adhi and Aunt Tamara yes, Pa. Devian does not know Rissa's return." said Carissa reminded.
Cakra and Allisa stared at each other at the words of her daughter who was already in loudspeaker mode.
"You take it easy, honey. Your parents can be trusted." said Allisa with a sweet smile.
"Alright, thank you Ma Pa." replied Carissa enthusiastically.
"Son, are you ready to marry Devian?" Cakra asked the princess only wayangnya carefully.
The sound of Carissa's breath, making Cakra and Allisa resigned if her daughter refused.
"When's the plan, Pa?" carissa's voice finally sounded.
"It should be next month after you finish your studies. But since you graduated faster it could have accelerated your marriage as well." replied Cakra in a very careful tone.
"alright. Faster is better." said Carissa energetically.
Cakra glanced at Allisa still surprised by Carissa's reply.
"You agree, son? You don't mind?" allisa asked reassuringly.
"How could Rissa mind, Ma? Isn't this the wedding you and Mom wanted? Rissa loves Dev too" replied Carissa firmly and confidently.
Allisa shed happy tears, she was moved by her grown daughter. The chakra pulls Allisa's body in her arms. The chakras also feel happiness.
"Ma Pa? What's the matter why silence? Was Rissa's decision wrong?" ask Carissa who for a while did not hear the voices of her parents.
"No, Honey. Mom and Dad were crying happily. I didn't think you were an adult now. They will soon be spending their lives with others. Papa and Mama will make the most magnificent wedding for you" said Cakra who is still shrouded in haru.
Carissa chuckled softly.
"Pa, Mama. No need to be grand, married is a very sacred bond. Better the party money for Rissa to open a boutique." said Carissa who was greeted by Allisa and Cakra laughter.
"You are exactly your Mama who is calculating." said Cakra who glanced at Allisa and then chuckled softly.
"Rissa is not a calculation, Pa. Just don't want to waste money" said Carissa firmly.
"alright. But Papa still wants to celebrate your marriage, Papa wants to share his happiness with his business colleagues. You can't mind. Let's just say Papa's having a big thanksgiving." Cakra still won't budge.
"alright. It's up to Papa that the money to open a Rissa boutique doesn't diminish." Carissa insisted on her plan.
Allisa laughed at Carissa's reply.
"You are indeed very talented in business, dear." Allisa said in support of her daughter's decision.
Cakra chuckles at the thought of two women he loves being very good at money matters.
"Just calm down, son. Papa will give you the capital to make a very large boutique" said Cakra happy.
"alright. Deal ya Pa." said Carissa enthusiastically that made Cakra and Allisa laugh.
"Oh, honey, did you order a ticket?" asked Allisa who was impatiently welcoming her daughter's arrival.
"Already, Ma. The schedule is tomorrow morning leaving, the day after Carissa has landed in Indonesia." replied Carissa.
"Well, it must be late, right? Quickly take a break so as not to bad luck to the city." Allisa saw the day that was already near noon.
"Good, Ma. Rissa sleeps first. Seeyou Pa, Ma. Assalammu'alaikum." said Carissa.
"Wa'alaikumsalam." closed Allisa then turn off the voice call on her phone.
Allisa clasped Cakra's hands gently then looked at her husband's handsome face that had started to wrinkle.
"She, Mama feels the same way. It felt like just yesterday Rissa was in Mama's stomach, I was still timang-timang, it turned out that time was so fast passing." said Allisa then put her head to the sturdy shoulders of her husband.
Cakra gently stroked his wife's shoulders to strengthen each other.
"Hopefully Devian can make Rissa happy and always keep Rissa under any circumstances. If one day Devian hurts Rissa then Papa doesn't hesitate to bring Rissa home" said Cakra steady who was greeted by Allisa's small laughter.
"Papa can't do that. Let Dev and Rissa build her household and solve her own problems. We as parents should be wise and should not mix it up. Mama believes Dev is reliable. Mama believes Dev loves Rissa sincerely." said Allisa who hugged her husband's waist tightly.
The chakras breathe out slowly.
"alright. Papa really hopes Rissa is happy with Devian." said Cakra re-hugged his wife's tiny body and kissed Allisa's forehead several times.
The two middle-aged were mutually reinforcing and full of novelty.
