Azhar and Nasha were sitting side by side in front of her Ummi shop, they were just as silent and busy with their respective thoughts. Harry's car came to pick up Nasha.
"I go home first." - Nasha without looking at Azhar.
"Yes, be careful" Azhar replied as she stood following Nasha who also stood up.
Nasha was still down, as if there was a huge burden on her head that made her unable to look up. What more burden would it be if not the fear of his adoptive parents. Azhar opened the door for Nasha and it managed to make Nasha look up and look at Azhar with a smile on her lips.
"Don't worry, God will be with us as long as we don't do the wrong thing" Azhar said, smiling warmly, where the warmth was directly transmitted to Nasha's heart and managed to make Nasha also smile sweetly.
Harry who saw it could only frown his forehead, what else he saw his brother was like crying out.
Nasha got into the car and Azhar closed the door again "Don't pray until late, yes" said her softly and Nasha just nodded slowly.
"Come, Har.." exclaimed Nasha but her gaze was still on Azhar.
"Kak Nasha why? Crying, huh? Azhar's making a cry?" ask Harry with a little emotion.
"What the hell" answered Nasha with a blushing face "Actually brother and Azhar..."
"Why brother and Azhar?" ask Harry impatiently.
"We have expressed our feelings" Nasha replied with an embarrassed smile, Harry was silent and seemed to be trying to digest what Nasha had just said.
"What do you mean you're officially dating?" ask Harry then.
"Not dating, Har. It's called taaruf, the process of getting to know each other. Azhar also wants to go home, want to see Papa Mama.." said Nasha at the end of the sentence.
Harry who heard it looked surprised, but he also looked happy even though a few seconds after he looked stiff. Just like Nasha, he thinks his parents won't accept Azhar.
"sister is afraid that Papa Mama will not accept Azhar" said Nasha then while bowing sadly.
"They have to accept it" Harry said encouragingly "For so long as you always follow what they want, this is when they follow what you want" said Harry trying to give support to Nasha. Nasha turned her head and looked at Harry closely.
"Can that be?" ask Nasha who is still very confident and feels like she will not be able to fight her parents.
"It can be, as long as you don't want to cower again with Papa Mama. Brother must be able to be assertive, it is not sin, and it is not defiant. Brother Nasha also has the right to live life as Kak Nasha would, Kak Nasha also has the right to be happy, Sister. Enough of Laura's sister..." Harry could not continue his words, his expression looked very firm but also implied sadness in both eyes.
Nasha can only smile faintly, Nasha should be grateful to have a sister like Harry even though she is not a real sister. But Harry has always supported her, sometimes Harry not only plays a sister, but he can also be a brother and father for Nasha because Harry is always on his side.

"Beb.." exclaimed Elin to Dilan, the two are currently outside for dinner together. Dilan draped her jacket on the chair and somehow arrived a bracelet fell off her jacket, Elin who realized it instantly took her "This is Nasha's got..." he continued and Dilan looked surprised by it, but then he revealed his natural smile.
"Yes, that time fell. I want to love him but I forget to keep going, mending you just hold and later love Nasha. Tell me it fell on campus" he said and Elin believed what Dilan said. While Dilan, he revealed a faint smile while glancing at the Nasha bracelet that is now worn by Elin.
"That's it, but she has a crush on guys" Elin replied casually while enjoying their dinner menu. While Dilan was just oh ria while nodding his head nod "Last end of this I think you often pay attention to Nasha" said Elin later, while Dilan looked tense but then he laughed crisply.
"Yes, because he changed his appearance very drastically. And she looks very graceful with her new appearance, honestly I'm amazed as much as she is" Dilan said with a wide smile on her lips while her eyes continued to stare at Elin.
"Yes, I'm a woman who feels amazed what else you are a man." said Elin while laughing as well.
"You're jealous I'm praising other women?" tanya Dilan raises next to her eyebrows, teasing Elin.
"That's it, after all, Nasha is our best friend. I also believe that you are loyal, although maybe your eyes can admire the beauty of other women, but I'm sure your heart will always love me" said Elin with a smile and not her happy, Dilan even more looks stiff hearing Elin's speech. He cleared his throat then gulped down the juice in front of him.

After bathing and praying Isya, Nasha came down for dinner. He was a little surprised because there was Papa at the dinner table and there was a variety of food at the dining table. It was rare that his Papa could eat with them.
"Hey, Honey. Already down? Tumben's late" exclaimed Raya gently which made Nasha instead of her feel happy instead it made her feel worried. Because rarely her mama speaks softly so, unless there's her will.
"Yes, Ma. Nasha prayed Isya first" Nasha replied then she pulled a chair on Harry's side which was also there.
"The food is a lot, Ma. Tumben, any guests?" ask Harry.
"Engga, just want to celebrate something" said Raya.
"Yes, this is very good news and must be celebrated" continued Surya "This is just a small celebration, tomorrow night the actual celebration"
"What celebration? I think there's no birthday" exclaimed Nasha and she started taking some of the menu she wanted to eat and putting it on her plate.
"Festival for you, dear." said Surya, smiling at Nasha.
"Me?" Nasha pointed to herself.
"Yes, Sha. You are very lucky, because your future is now very clear and your future is really bright" said Raya with great enthusiasm.
Harry and Nasha throw each other a glance, both equally worried about the news because they both know their parents well. Their good news is bad news for their children.
"What's the fuck you talking about?" ask Nasha later.
"You're getting married to Ramos!"
"WHATAAA???!!!!"
