On the way home, Afnan sounded a sigh of relief. It was like he had just come out of excessive fear.
"Hem." Afnan Gumam.
Afnan leaned back in his chair, he closed his eyes, his mind filled only with Hasna.
"Hasna, if you knew. How difficult it is to suppress the turmoil on my body, when it is close to you. Especially seeing your beautiful face. The eyes that I was usually able to cooperate with, this time defied me. You have an incredible appeal, from the way you talk, your indifferent temperament, you sound innocent and what you are, but the elegance I still feel from every word that comes out of your mouth, your gentle voice, the kind words, makes me feel in the dream world, not believing that I just brought you out of a club." Afnan inner babble.
"It seems true what your Grandmother said, that you are, in fact, a good and great-spirited child. However, you are running away from reality, because you are still very young and unstable when it comes to receiving painful things and you force yourself to hold the burden alone." Inner Afnan again.
"It is not until two hours that I am with you, but you are able to make my doubts disappear, I will steadily step in to question you, hopefully not in vain when I have asked Abi to marry you. Hasna Aulia Zahrani" whispered Afnan with her merdunya at the end of the sentence.
Ubaydillah could hear faintly that Afnan mentioned Hasna's name in full. Ubaydillah only slightly turned to Afnan with a faint smile.

- Flashback from a month ago-
"Please go to Arlan, Jenny," welcome Mr. Kyai, who was addressed to Grandpa and Grandma Hasna or his two friends that afternoon, after the completion of the monthly study.
Afnan was there at the time, but after shaking hands he paid for lunch. Afnan did not mean to eavesdrop, but from the dining room they clearly heard their conversation, because they were chatting in the family room next to the dining room.
After talking about various things, arrived ...
"Ana was worried about Afnan, she didn't want to get married at an age she thought was enough. Even when Ana suggested to Ta'aruf, she refused. The reason is not ready" said Abi Kyai or his father Afnan.
"Well, why is it the same. Ana is also worried about her granddaughter. These three months he's been living with us, but lately we just found out from our workers, that he's often quietly going out at night and coming home early, he said, that's why we hired people to love him and sure enough .. he went to clubs, as well as wild races," Grandpa Hasna said with a deep sigh.
"AstagfirullahalAdzim" they said in unison.
"Sorry, why don't we just marry them? ana means, Nak Afnan and Hasna, my granddaughter," proposes Hasna's grandfather. It does sound joking from the tone of his speech because it is interspersed with a small laugh. However, there is a deep meaning to Afnan's hearing.
"Hem .. might be a good idea too, try later we talk to Afnan," Kyai replied with a nod of his head.
"In fact, Hasna was a good boy. She is beautiful, a child who is not greedy of wealth as well and her warai cuek, currently her home in Jakarta she made as a halfway house. Actually my grandson is mulya-hearted and big-spirited." His grandmother Hasna began to recount his grandchildren's temperament without being overstated.
"However, his behavior began to change and was a little strange since the time his father and mother separated, my son and my man. He became uncontrollable, he changed like he was not, according to the doctor he was exposed to a kind of deep disappointment syndrome, not make it depression alone was profitable." Continue Grandma Hasna.
"Hasna chose not to follow one of her parents, instead choosing to live alone from third grade Junior High to third grade High School, she was only accompanied by Art only, she was only accompanied by Art, why is he living with us now? because the last case of police raids due to wild races. His father was worried about the association in Jakarta, because Hasna still refused to stay with one of his parents. Therefore, he was entrusted to us."
Afnan who heard the story from his grandmother Hasna, he sharpened his ears, so that no one was missed. His heart felt full, too sick to hear that fact. So the curiosity arose to know Hasna further, he seemed challenged to have it. Looks like this kind of girl who meets the criteria to become his future wife.

When Grandpa and Grandma Hasna had come home, suddenly Afnan approached his parents. He wants to talk about Hasna.
"Come, Umi. Can I have a word?" ask Afnan.
"Oh of course, son, please!" umi answered gently with a smile.
"Please, what are you talking about?" tymbal Pak Kyai.
"Abi, please marry Aa to Uncle Arlan's granddaughter." Pinta Afnan's. Abi and Umi Afnan gasped, not believing what they had just heard.
Mr. Kyai did mention that he would discuss his grandfather Hasna's proposal to marry Afnan and Hasna to Afnan. However, later tonight after there is free time, it turns out that Mr. Kyai has not spoken, now Afnan has asked for it first.
"Darling, are you sure?" ask Umi
"Afnan Yakin Umi Abi. Sorry, not that Aa was presumptuous. Aa overheard your conversation and Aa felt attracted and challenged by this girl when she heard the story of Aunt Jenny. Although Afnan has never met and seen it," said Afnan. He spoke so straightforwardly, firmly with steadiness.
"Well, what can Abi help you with?" ask Abi with all preparedness.
"That's for Afnan, Abi! just give the reason for the match, Afnan beg Abi, Umi," said Afnan so pleaded with eyes that began to glaze over.
Abi and Uminya felt full, only this time his son begged and it was for a girl, who even he himself had not known him.
"Alright, Abi will preach it for you. But are you ready for the consequences?" ask Abi full of probes.
"God willing, Afnan Ready!" afnan's answer was steady.
