Arum looks very pretty with the dress she wears. The dress adheres perfectly in her slim and tall body. Makeup that make up her face looks very beautiful, and does not display the impression of menor and excessive. He came out of his room with Sarah and Naura.
Siti is sitting with Ardi, Doni and Ari. When he saw Arum who had come out of the room, Siti bamitan go to make sure the situation and certainly busy welcoming the guests.
Arum smiled looking at the three men. Their eyes fell on Arum. When Arum approached the man, he saw Ardi's face that was not as usual. The man's face looked very cold. Arum looked at Ardi's hand wrapped in bandages and there were still small patches of blood coming from the bandage.
" In, what's your hand?" arum's face panicked when he saw Ardi's hand. With reflex Arum held the hand wrapped in the bandage.
"Mash the glass." replied Ardi as he pulled his hand.
"Why did you pound the glass. How are the glasses now?" said Arum who was a little joking to see his best friend.
"devastated, ordinary exercise." replied Ardi with a cold look.
"are you practicing taekwondo or horse lumping?" the girl looked nagging, “sobbing you." said Arum.
Ardi looked at Arum with a sharp gaze. "if I say, I pounded the glass because of you. What are you gonna say?" ask her with a voice that sounds vibrating.
"cock because of me?" the girl moved her lips.
Ardi smiled faintly.
"here I take medicine" Arum said later, grabbing the hand.
Ardi brushed it off, the young man shook his head. "I can treat it myself. I don't want your hands to get dirty from holding mine" she said.
"it's not that I can wash it." replied Arum who kept forcing.
"Ardi shook her head. You remember, when you were a child you most often fell, your knees and elbows were injured and bleeding. I always treat your wounds. Sometimes you can fall anywhere. At that time I always bagged this thing everywhere." Ardi took out betadin, hansaplas and bandages from his pants pocket.
"i've always bagged this thing, I've always put this thing in my school bag. Until now I still bagged it and kept it in my college bag. But I just realized, that from now on you are not the little girl who always falls, who I carry on my back when you cry when your knees are too. You are now a mature, smart, beautiful and strong girl. You can protect yourself as well as others. I no longer need to look after you. It's time I didn't take this thing anywhere" he said, giving it to Arum.
Arum holds the thing that Ardi gave him. Arum's eyes glazed over to hear what Ardi was saying. “Di, you don't know Arumkan.” Arum's voice began to shake. He hugged the body of a man who was his best friend.
Ardi showed his fierce attitude in front of Arumi. "i love you Rum, more than my life. I will never leave you. I am Ardi your little friend until now. But now you have someone to look after and love you very well. So I no longer need to worry about you." said the man who seemed to be trying to toughen up. He looks disappointed in his face.
Naura's tears rolled smoothly as did Sarah. He sees Ardi who seems so devastated, Sarah who became a love fighter to get Ardi so very sorry to see Ardi at this time. Doni saw the object that Ardi took out of his pocket reminded him of a traffic accident that grazed elementary school children. Ardi took out the betadin and also the bandage from inside his bag.
Arum was still rebuking as he hugged Ardi's body. Ardi hugged Arum's body very tightly and then he let go. He saw Arum still crying.
"do you remember? When we were kids, we played house. You become a mom, I become a dad. We have a happy family. I'm giving you the jewelry I made from the stalk of a yam leaf. I gave you a necklace and a bracelet. At that time, I promised you, if we grow up and I have money I'll buy you real gold jewelry and a diamond ring." said Ardi who still looked at Arum.
"Arum never considered it a promise" Arum said in tears.
"but I promised myself." replied Ardi. Ardi took out the jewelry box that was in the pocket of the shirt he was wearing. He opened the jewelry box. "this is my promise to you. I'm sorry if the diamond ring I can't prank." he said later.
"i don't want you to doubt, I want you to be happy. This is an important day for you. Your tears have made your makeup messy" she said, trying to smile.
"I'm sorry arum." That's the only sentence that came out of his mouth.
"You're not wrong" replied Ardi. "If you're not a match with him, then I'll be your match" he said again later.
Ardi helps Arum to stand up. He held Arum's hand. “Udah trim your makeup again. Soon your potential fiancee will be coming.” He said as the girl stood up.
The shadows in their childhood seemed to automatically rotate in Arum's view. Arum felt like he was watching a movie of himself in the past. Arum remembered all the events one by one that made him continue to cry. Ardi was the first man he loved before Habibi. He never knew Ardi felt the same way.
Arum goes into the room tidying up his makeup again. Sarah and Naura no one spoke. They just looked at Arum from the mirror.

The three men sat at one of the tables in the garden next to the luxury house. Various food choices are already there. A little girl came running over Ardi's body.
"Bang Ardi" said the beautiful little girl.
“Beauty very.” Doni gave a compliment when he saw the beautiful girl, white and looks coquettish.
Ari slapped his best friend's shoulder.
"That girl is not old enough" said Ari reminded his best friend.
"If the name is beautiful, not old enough also must be beautiful" replied the young man after getting a tabokan from his best friend.
Doni whispered in Ardi's ear.
"The world is not over, bro. No brother still has his brother. Nih the Adek will not lose to the brother. This superior seedling." said the young man.
Ardi looked at Doni with a sharp look. Made Doni stop his sentence.
