At night, Marquez picks up Atmaja's opa family at the hotel. Grandpa Louis invited them to dinner together.
Opa Atmaja could not resist, as Louis's grandfather continued to force. He said it was a sign of friendship.
Salman dressed as neatly as possible. Her heart felt so excited to attend the event.
"Wow, you're so cool dear." said the mother when she saw Salman who had just come out of her room.
"Mama could have. Salman is cool too long ago ma." Both of them laughed at the same time.
"Let's go, Marquez is waiting for us in the lobby" Atmaja told Laura.
They also walked to the elevator. And when he arrived at the lobby, Marquez was sitting in the waiting chair. They also approached the man immediately.
"Assalamu'alaikum" said the Atmaja opa family. Marquez looked up as he answered his greetings. And they shake hands with each other.
"Grandpa can't wait for your arrival. Let's get in the car immediately." take Marquez while allowing them to walk first.
Along the way, they seemed to be talking, talking about many things.
"It's over" said Marquez as the car entered the courtyard. Salman's heart suddenly thumped.
'Astaghfirullah, why is it beating so fast?' salman's mind while holding his chest.
He took a deep breath to neutralize the uncertain taste.
"Assalamu'alaikum" they said as Marquez opened the living room door.
"Wa'alaikumussalam." cried Wulan, mommy and grandma together.
Mommy and grandma immediately left the kitchen table, then walked forward to greet her guests. Wulan remained silent for a while.
The same thing was felt by Wulan. The girl pressed down firmly on her chest as her heart continued to beat fast.
'God, why is this feeling coming back? Please eliminate if indeed he is not my soul mate.' Inner Wulan. He also went to the living room.
Wulan approached them, then reached out to Laura's mother and Salman's two omanya.
Salman noticed the timid-looking Wulan. She used to be a bar-bar girl in front of her.
"Let's go to the dining room, everything has been prepared by my beautiful granddaughter" said grandpa, chuckling.
He knew his grandson liked Salman. In his heart he also liked the young man, and wanted the two to unite. There is no wall between them.
Now they surround the dining table that has been presented with various types of delicious and tempting foods. Starting from Indo and Dutch menu.
"All of these foods are halal, do not hesitate to spend it" said grandpa.
They began to take the type of food they liked, then began to devour.
Every now and then Salman steals a glance towards Wulan sitting between her mommy and grandma.
"Ehem...Ehem" Marquez deliberately cleared his throat to see Salman who was caught stealing a glance at his daughter.
"Your throat hurts?" ask Papa Reyhan who is not aware of his son's behavior.
"Not Rey."
"Then?"
"Something like old love springing back."
Wulan and Salman choked at the same time hearing Marquez's words that were holding a smile.
The two immediately sipped the drink nearby until it ran out, then took a deep breath to eliminate the nervousness.
While their families are now looking at the two young people while thinking.
"What do you two have in common? So that it can choke at the same time?" papa Reyhan turned to Salman and whispered.
