On the third knock, the new owner opened the door. Dayu almost felt hopeless standing at the door. Dayu wants to meet the owner of the rented house they occupy. He wanted to negotiate to rewind the date of the home contract payment. There is shame in the heart of Daun. Every year he does the same thing.
Dayu must have kept his promise, so that Ibu Nur still allowed them to stay in the house.
By looking at her face alone, Ibu Nur already knew what Dayu was going to say.
"I'm sorry I could never pay off the home contract money straight away. Always ask for a payment tempo." Dayu.
"It's okay. I totally understand." Mother Nur gently caressed Dayu's hand which was on the table.
"Next month I promise to pay for the shortfall. Now I'll give you this first, ma'am?"
Dayu thrusting a long brown envelope. Mother Nur nodded while saying her thanks. There was a feeling of pity to see Dayu always come begging him to repay the home contract payment. Bu Nur understood the difficulty of Dayu. Seeing Dayu lowered her head, it was like Bu Nur was gently stroking Dayu's head. He remembered his daughter who was the same age as Dayu. His daughter is in college out of town. Never felt the lack of life like Dayu. While the girl who was now sitting in front of him, forged a life so hard. Mayu becomes mature and thinks mature. Bu Nur knew very well, Dayu became the backbone of the family. Maybe Dayu can never again be spoiled like her daughter.

One problem has been solved, although Dayu has to thicken his face in front of Bu Nur. At least at this moment he could breathe a sigh of relief. His footsteps felt light, his smile so loose.
"What is a smile?" Mother welcomed in the doorway.
"So Dayu has met Bu Nur. The money contract home business is done, ma'am."
"Thank God! From yesterday I thought."
"I'm just thinking about Genta's cost, ma'am."
Mother sighed, looking at Dayu with pity. What is it that you want to say to Dayu? There is no word of comfort to be spoken. Mayu has been too full to hear the same word for years. Mother chose silence.
"Get your health!" In the end, that is all that can be said.
"Mom, I already have a boyfriend!" Dayu's voice sounded soft almost like a whisper. Dayu thought, I should slowly be told about Adrian. There was no way she would suddenly "drag" the man in front of Mom and introduce Adrian as husband.
"Daughter?" Mom smiled cheerfully. Mom was worried that Dayu was not interested in love relationships.
"How can I have time to know a man while knowing myself I can't." I remember Dayu saying that when asking about Dayu's lover.
"I'll introduce Adrian to you sometime."
"Don't suddenly! Let me cook her favorite food. What does she like to eat?"
Dayu was silent, only a few days later he got a list of what became Adrian's favorite. She should have told Mom later. His mouth was popping so quickly about the man without thinking about the consequences.
"He likes all the food, Mom!" Dayu does not want to make Mother so difficult to think about the affairs of the stomach of her future daughter-in-law.
"I'm sure she'll fall in love with Mom's cooking." Mayu said confidently. She likes to see her mom smile.
Just be careful if she doesn't want to eat Mom's cooking!
"I'm sleeping, Mom!" pampered. Dayu must immediately get out of front of Mother because soon Mother must be strapping her with various questions about Adrian.

In his view, the paper contains information that Dayu needs to know about him. Adrian smiled with satisfaction.
What did he say he liked? Adrian tried to remember what Dayu said.
"Book," he murmured, "Ah, if that's what I already know. Seeing her dancing eyes while looking at my book collection is unquestionable if books are something she likes." Adrian talking to himself. His hand folded in front of his chest, smiling happily remembering the twinkle in Dayu's eyes.
"One more, what did he say? Money?" Adrian clucked, "The base of ambitious women!"
"When should I submit this list? Tomorrow?" Adrian stroked the surface of the paper while rereading the list he typed.
"Or am I just calling right now, asking when he's coming?" Adrian was doubtful.
"Or I'll wait for him to tell me." He's getting worried. If about Dayu why is it so difficult to take action first.
"What is she?" Adrian clutched his phone. Accidentally pressed Dayu's number. Adrian is attacked by panic, fearing that Dayu refuses his phone.
"Hello!" Hearing Dayu's voice made Adrian smile.
"Busy around?"
"No! I was lying down. Is there anything important?"
"When you will come take the list you requested. I'm done with it."
"Two more days I come, tomorrow I have filming until night."
"Where?" Adrian was surprised to hear his voice asking about it. He became like a curious man. How humiliating!
Mayu mentions a place. "David, Adrian!"
"Yes?" Adrian waiting for the hanging sentence that Dayu said.
"Hmm, how is it?" Again there is a pause. "I told Mom about you. I told Mom I already had a boyfriend and I'd introduce you to her."
