"Why do we have to take a taxi online?" ask Wildan confused.
"Udah follow my request" replied Ratna.
Wildan did not want to argue with Ratna because today was a special day for their relationship. Cooking starts with arguments and quarrels.
"Well if that's what you want" Wildan said.
Arriving at Pati City, Wildan and Ratna look for a good hotel where Wildan stays. As per Ratna's request they used an online taxi to go to Ratna's house.
Wildan looked around the road to Ratna's house. Small town but it looks like Wildan is starting to like it. The city is not much different from the village of Love. Even the city of Pati is smaller than Cirebon and almost similar to the village where the house of Love is located.
"Mas later there do not tell me if you are my boss in the office" said Ratna.
Wildan looked at Ratna closely. He began to understand where Ratna's thoughts were going. It was fitting that he would not be driven by Wildan's car to his house.
It turns out Ratna wants to hide who she is to her family. Previously, Ratna also forced her to wear a t-shirt and jeans and was told to take off her watch and leave her in the hotel alone.
Wildan was initially confused as to what his future wife was planning. But after Ratna's last request she understood Ratna's wishes.
"You don't want your family to know who I really am?" ask Wildan.
Ratna looked into Wildan's eyes and then nodded.
"You embarrassed?" ask Wildan.
Ratna shook her head.
"What should I be ashamed of you Mas, instead I feel ashamed of myself. Our fate is so different, like heaven and earth" replied Ratna.
"Rat please don't ever say that again. Mana Ratna was always cheerful and confident. The closer we are to your family, the more frustrated you become" Wildan said.
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid you're planning something" Ratna replied.
"It's okay, I don't matter. I will try to do my best for you. Even though it's hard I'll fight for it" Wildan said firmly.
"But you don't deserve to sacrifice that much Mas, I just." said Ratna with glassy eyes.
"You do it again, don't ever feel small when confronted by Rat, you are more valuable and your person is much better than me. You are a great and very good woman. I'm lucky to get you" Wildan replied, reassuring Ratna.
"But let them accept you for who you are, not for what you have. I just don't want you to use me" Ratna said.
"Well I'll follow all your requests, let's see how things go. Would I be able to hold on but otherwise I apologize to you first. Sometimes I have to do it because I want to get the blessing of your family. Whatever I'm going to do, maybe it should be with all my power and what I have I won't mind" Wildan said.
"Yes I will not be angry, I just ask you as much as possible to behave like an ordinary person. If it is a new push you confess who you really are" welcome Ratna.
Wildan smiled lovingly at his future wife.
"You take it easy, no matter what happens I have to pocket the blessing of your family to Jakarta. Only then did I come back here with my Mom and Dad to propose to you" Wildan said.
Soon they arrived in front of Ratna's house. A very simple house made of wood and rough cement. The house is only fenced plants that are neatly formed to surround the house.
It looks very beautiful and comfortable even though it is very simple. Ratna looked at Wildan.
"We have reached Mas" said Ratna.
"Come, let's get down" Wildan asked.
They got out of the car after paying the fare. Ratna's sister who was sweeping the grounds of the house was very surprised by the arrival of Ratna and Wildan.
"Mbak Ratna's.. Ibuuu Mbak Ratna pulaaaang" shouted Ratna's youngest sister.
Ratna smiled affectionately at the sight of her sister. The Bungsu immediately ran up to Ratna and hugged her.
"Sir, I miss you very much" said the teenager.
"Mbak also miss the deck" said Ratna.
Ratna's other mother and sister came out of the house simultaneously. It's been two years Ratna hasn't come home. Last time I met with Ratna during Ratna graduation in Jakarta. They only stay a day because they do not have much money to linger - long in Jakarta.
"Assalamu'alaikum ma'am" said Ratna kissing her mother's hand with respect and love.
"Wa'alaikumsalam Nak, you don't tell me you want to go home" said Ms. Ratna.
"I wanted to surprise you on purpose" replied Ratna.
"Whose sister Ratna Mas is?" ask the Bungsu innocently.
All the members of the Ratna family stared curiously at Wildan. Wildan smiled warmly to the entire Ratna family.
"I. It's Mbak's friend" Ratna replied awkwardly.
"Meet my Mom Wildan from Ratna's office" Wildan said.
"Oh yes, yes, I am Ratna's mother. Please come in Nak Wil. and" welcome Ms. Ratna.
They entered into Ratna's very simple house.
"I'm sorry I want the house to be like this" Ms Ratna said.
"It's okay, ma'am, the house is very comfortable, yes, shady again" said Wildan.
"Sit Mas" Ratna ordered.
Ratna's sisters are banging each other to see Wildan. Maybe they're fascinated by Wildan's good looks.
"Come acquaintance with his friend Mbak" Ratna said to her younger siblings.
"This is my brother number two Mas called Retno" said Ratna.
The teenage girl sitting in the third grade of SMU was embarrassed - embarrassed to shake Wildan's hand.
"Retno" said Retno.
"Wildan" said Wildan.
"This is my sister number three Riska" Ratna said afterwards.
"Riska Mas" said another teenage girl who sat in the first class of SMU.
"Yes. hello to Riska" Wildan said with a friendly smile.
"Well this is Bungsu Rafika" said Ratna introduced her last sister.
"Rafika Mas" said Si Bungsu.
"Beautiful - beautiful all, definitely down from Mom's face" Wildan praised.
Suddenly Mother and sister Ratna smiled blushing in embarrassment. They have never had a guest like this. Ratna has never brought her boyfriend home. Because he was so afraid of his father.
"Retno makes a drink for your Ma'am and Nak Wildan" Ms Ratna ordered.
"Good Ma'am" Retno said.
"Risc.. Rafika. bantuin Mbak lift goods - Mbak goods to the room" pinta Ratna.
"Good Ma'am" replied Ratna's two younger sisters obediently.
Ratna and her two sisters lifted Ratna's bags and luggage to their room. Now only Mother Ratna and Wildan are sitting in the living room and family room.
"So all the girls?" ask Wildan.
"Yes Nak Wildan. Men or women are the same. Four of my children, that's enough. No need to be added again in order to find a son" replied Ratna Mother.
"So there's no man in this house, ma'am?" ask Wildan while looking around Ratna's house.
Arriving from behind came the voice of a man who was very loud.
"Nob alone there is no man in this house. So what am I considered in this house?" welcome that voice.
Suddenly Mother Ratna was surprised and pale-faced. He looked at Wildan's face with a worried look.
