Sadam and his family fell silent when they heard Mr. Asep's words about Aisha's happiness and responsibility. It seems Ferdi and Arina understand the words of Mr. Asep, but not with Sadam who is still thinking hard.
"Do you understand what I mean by Sadam?" ask Mr. Asep to the man who had dared to propose to his daughter openly.
Arina nudged Sadam's hand, for his son to answer. Arina also whispered to just say yes.
"Yes sir."
"If you understand, prove it, show it and come to me with your family" said Mr. Asep firmly. Then he tells Aisha to get in the car, along with Riki as well.
"If you can prove it, I will allow you to propose to my son and I will consider it!" exclaim Mr. Asep to Sadam. The man who works as a farmer and loves his daughter very much, does not want it until Aisha chooses the wrong life partner.
"I understand sir, I will prove to you that I can do it!"
"I don't need a speech, I need proof. 3 months, your time.and if you can't prove it in that time. Then I will marry Aisha to another man" said Mr. Asep who clearly made Sadam feel not with the man's words that were like a threat to him.
The threat that if Sadam can't, Aisha will belong to someone else and can never be hers.
After that threatening remark, Mr. Asep paid his respects to everyone and said his greetings politely. Then get out there and go home. Sadam, his family and friends are still there.
They encouraged Sadam if he wanted to propose Aisha, the path he would pass was not easy. Mr. Asep is a principled man and it is impossible to hand over his daughter to just anyone.
"Banyakin prayer equal effort Dam." chirped Genan while patting Sadam's shoulder.
"Dam, you have to start getting serious if you want to be serious with Aisha. Mama, Oma you, and father Ferdi will definitely support you" Arina told her son.
"Sadam seriously Ma, even the necklace given by Mama...Sadam loves Aisha as proof that Sadam is serious about this relationship! But-what does that mean responsibility Ma?" ask Sadam who apparently does not understand.
"First, you must have a job.you must study independently. Correct lecture and of course, you must focus on the future and the household later. You have to be a good priest for Aisha," explained Bu Rianti at length. Sadam and his three friends heard that, they immediately understood.
"Okay Pa, Ma, Oma. In these 3 months, I will strive to be the man in charge!" exclaimed Sadam while smiling passionately. Everyone is supporting Sadam.

2 Months passed, Aisha did not meet Sadam at all. Until he has obtained his diploma and tomorrow he will soon leave for Jakarta to study at his dream campus.Kampus where he got a scholarship, the same campus as the Sadam campus.
That night Aisha was pensive, looking at the necklace Sadam had given her. Necklace with ring pendulum there.
"Neng, are you tea here again?" asked Mr. Asep to his daughter who was sitting in the window of his room.
"Mr?"
