Even with Hengki and Uci who have left first. Arifin did come home later because there are still several visits and meting to the branch office.
Arriving Arifin at home, exactly nine o'clock at night. The handsome man headed straight for his room.
"Hey! Where are you going?" The voice of the mother made a step Arifin who was climbing the stairs was forced to stop and turn her head. Looking at mama Artika who was standing in front of the living room while folding her hands on her chest.
"Dry!" Mama Artika stepped first into the family room. The word of Mama Artika is absolute, inevitably, Arifin follows the steps of the mother.
Arifin was a little surprised to see the whole family was there.
"What's up, ma?" ask her while sitting her ass on the couch."Tumben gather all."
"Where is Bandung, Fin?"
"In case of work problems, smooth and safe. If it's a matter of place, good and I like it. Moreover, the newlyweds continue to play, do not know what mas this one is struggling to advance the family company?" Cetus arifn glanced at his sister who was sitting on the side of the sofa to his left. Hengki is just a whiny.
"UMM, will we go home first?" Pamit Hengki, "your firstborn is home, so we want to go home."
Arifin grunts,
"This is your house, where are you going?"
"Our house, mama. I can't wait to go home and enjoy this night alone. BE-DU-A." Hengki stood up and greeted his parents followed by Uci.
"Stay here, Ci." Mama Artika persuaded Uci, because it was useless to talk to Hengki.
Uci looked at the husband, "why don't we just stay here tonight."
"We need time, baby, both. There's a lot of people here, you want your voice to be heard by them." Hengki is tempting. Uci's face was red, pinching her husband's stomach.
"Auu, sick, baby." Hengki complain while writhing."already yes ma, pa, we go home. Just take care of your virgin son."
Mama Artika just sighed softly. Look at the boy and his daughter-in-law leave. The middle-aged woman then stared intently at her eldest son who was still alone.
"You want to find yourself, or do you want a mate?"
"Aaahh, all right, want to see who the woman is first." Arifin.
"It!" Mama Artika offered several photos and her biodata. "They're all mama's friends' children."
Very lazy, Arifin took and looked at each other.
"Stop the pick, only. Later mama arranged a meeting with one of them."
Arifin did not have the slightest interest in them. "I'm not interested, ma. They're normal."
"Oohh, so? Then you should've gotten an amazing one." Mama said annoyed.
"Have it been, ma, don't be like that to your son." Papa interrupts.
"Can't pa! Her sister is married. Cook her brother to be single?! She should get married this year." Firm mama Artika.
Arifin rolled his eyes lazy, suddenly he remembered Nanda. 'he just broke up from his girlfriend, hmmm, maybe we can make a deal.' he thought.
"I already have someone I like. But, I haven't got it." Cetus Arifin's.
"Who? Don't get a lot of stale." Demand the mama.
"After getting her I'll take her home." Cetus Arifin again, as he got up from his seat and left.
"Mama hope that's not your excuse! If you lie to your mom, then you marry the woman you chose!" Excited mama lantang.
On the other side.
Hengki and Uci enjoyed the night by sharing their love. The handsome man tightly hugged the wife's body lying on his chest.
"Thank you, man,"
"Hum? Thanks for what?"
"Because you've done so much for me." Cetus Uci's. "Thank you for saving me from my marriage to Andi, also from the person I thought my real parents were. Those who I thought were family, it turns out..."
"No need to remember anymore. Especially the bad things in your life. You've been through something bad, now is the time to be happy." Hengki stroked the head of Uci.
"Mas is the most beautiful gift of my life. Thank you." Thank you."
"Thank you for you too, baby." Reply Hengki kissed the wife's head."Let's promise each other not to hurt and betray, let alone leave."
Uci commented on her smile, there was no way she would leave as good as the man who is now her husband. In his heart, Uci thanked the Creator and prayed that his relationship would last and only death would separate them.

Next day.
Mama Artika still continues to pursue Arifin to tell who is the woman Arifin is pursuing. Even the middle-aged woman stalked the child. Arifin who knows if the mother is very cool and continues to stalk all day smiling thinly.
"Follow it on, ma, until I'm a master." The inner Arifin laughed in his heart.
Arifin activities are only about work and home. For a few days Mama Artika got nothing. He chose the ninja path. What else if not ask the secretary and Hengki. First, he meets Nanda.
"Uhuk, Mr. Arifin's girlfriend, buk?" Nanda gulped down her expression as mama Artika called her meet in the cafe.
"Yes, are you her secretary? You should know dong."
"So you don't know?" Look at mama Artika does not believe. Nanda shakes. Mama Artika was silent for a moment.
"Okay, all right, you can go."
After Nanda resigned, mama Artika waited for Hengki to come to say hello.
"Sick! Mama's here!" Excited mama Artika when she saw the figure of the child walking into the cafe.
"What's your mom doing here?" Hengki dropped her weight on the chair.
"Do you know who your lady likes?" Ask mama Artika to the point.
Hengki's mouth was round, "mama came here to ask that?"
"Yes, you know what?"
"He used to say that Nanda was his girlfriend." Answer Hengki origin.
"Manda? You mean Arifin's secretary?"
Hengki. Mama Artika looked confused, "but-but, she said she didn't know."
"He who? Nanda?"
Mama nodded, Hengki smiled instead. Mama Artika got upset and hit Hengki on the head with a coffee spoon.
"Your smile sucks! Say it!"
"Well, it's possible, Nanda's the one who Arifin loves."
"really?" Mama Artika was surprised, "she did say she was trying. Could it be that Nanda doesn't know?"
Hengki loosened his shoulders.
Both are silent, but Hengki knows, if the mother is determined.
"Ma!"
"What?"
"Leave it Arifin. If he's serious, he'll definitely bring Nanda home in the near future." Cetus Hengki's. "Let them decide where the heart goes."
Mama Artika understood Hengki's intent, only being able to sigh. Right, he shouldn't interfere with his son's romance.
Evening arrived, Hengki picked up Uci as usual. The beautiful girl who has now become his legal wife is out of the office with Nanda.
"Well, you guys are familiar." Hengki yelled. "It's like a brother-in-law."
Uci smilingly nudged Nanda's arm."Could it?"
Nanda relaxed her shoulders and smiled flatly. From behind Arifin also looks new out of the office.
"Doble date?" Take Hengki to glance at the brother. Instantly, Uci and Nanda looked back.
"How's it?" Arifin asked the two confused-looking women.
Uci pouted a smile as if to know, "yes," he raised his eyebrows to look at Nanda.
And finally the four of them doble date again. Take a walk on a motorcycle to the fair. After being quite tired of walking they choose a break and enjoy the garden lantern. A newlywed couple flies a lantern. While Arifin and Nanda just sat looking at the couple.
"Dutch?"
"Yes, Arifin's mas." Nanda said, he still remembers if he was outside the office calling the boss mas.
"Let's get married."
"Uhuk,uhuk, yuhuk." Nanda chokes, Arifin holds out a drink. After taking a sip, Nanda looked at Arifin.
"We've known each other enough all this time. Good and bad, you're single, I'm also single. Why don't we just get married. What say?"
"Why me?"
"Why? You don't want to?"The question from Arifin even made Nanda wrong."mama tried to match me. I don't want to know someone new I feel tired. If you want, let's just get married. The problem of love, will come if used to it. What say?" Arifin turned to look intensely at the eyes of the woman who was now also staring at him.
"Ehem, I, I..."
"Do you have a new boyfriend?"
Nanda shook her head,
"Then do you want to go back to your ex-boyfriend?"
Nanda nodded again,
"Then, I'm not on your level?"
"Aaahh, no. I thought, I'm not as level as Arifin's mas." Cetus Nanda fast. Arifin reviewed the smile, Nanda became ashamed of herself and lowered her head deeply.
"Then let's get married."
Nanda raised his head, looking into the eyes of the man who kept looking at him fixedly. Nanda gave a small smile, and so did Arifin. Without another word, the two changed to look at the lanterns that flew up into space.
