Aretta was still lying limp in a place not far from the cemetery. There's dad, Karin, and Ken.

"We better get Aretta home, yeah. Kasian him!" Karin tried to give advice.

"Yes, after the funeral is over. Dad was there first, right? Dad's nitip Aretta!"

"I'm also with you!" Karin immediately followed the father who was about to stand up from his seat.

"How much will Aretta be?" Say father again.

"Kan, there's Ken. You don't pa-pa, do you make Aretta nemenin first?" Karin asked Ken.

"Yes, aunt. I'm not pa-pa, really."Ken answered kindly.

"Yes, you were Aretta's nitip, huh, budar?"

"Yes, um!" Reply Ken who accompanied Aretta with a state that was already conscious, but still very weak.

Aretta's head is placed on Ken's lap, by Ken himself.

"No pa-pa, Aretta?" Ken's trying to melt the mood.

"My head is dizzy!" Aretta was still holding her head which felt very heavy.

"Lo be patient first yes, your father again join the funeral procession first, after this we go home!"

Upon hearing Ken's words, Aretta again bathed her cheek with a clear bulb coming out of the corner of her eye.

"Hiks!" Aretta was crying again.

"Hey, why? Did I say it wrong?" Ken panicked to see Aretta crying.

"Gue is a useless grandchild!" Aretta wiped her tears violently.

"Lo don't think about macems first, huh?" Ken's trying to calm Aretta down.

Meanwhile, not far from Aretta's place, there were two pairs of eyes that occasionally watched.

"Let's go home!" Ask me to hold Aretta when I have finished the funeral procession.

"Let's get in my car, om! Kasian Aretta if you have to ride the bike in a limp like this!" Ken tried to make some advice.

"Yes, I got in Ken's car. That's what Ken said!" Karin chimed in.

"Yes, that's it! Daddy's a sling?" I asked Aretta.

"No, yeah! Are you walking!" Aretta tried to get up from her bed.

"Yes, let's help!"

They came home in Ken's car. Not much conversation happened during the trip. Except Karin keeps praising Ken.

"That's great, Aretta! He was young, but he had his own business. In fact, the same house his car too, bought with his own money, you know!" Karin praised Ken.

Aretta completely ignored Karin's words which always boasted Ken in front of her, as if it was Karin's intention to do.

Aretta's eyes were fixed on the outside of the car window, with a blank look. His heart still did not expect that something like this would happen so quickly.

"Oh yeah, Ken's going to be a mallem so you're going to go home?" Karin asked Ken.

"So, auntie!"

The car driven by Ken stopped after arriving in front of my father's house. Quickly, Ken went down first and wanted to help Aretta walk into the house.

"Gue can be alone!" Aretta said to pull over Ken's arm that was about to hold her hand.

"To go straight home, Dad, om, auntie? There's still business." Ken says goodbye to Karin and dad. Because Aretta had already left her.

"Yes, thank you Ken." Father replied politely.

"Don't forget about the mallem!" Karin reminded me again.

"Yes, auntie!"

Meanwhile, Karin beckoned at father by blinking her eyes.

I caught Karin's intentions, and started to open the conversation.

"Aretta, I want to talk seriously. Can you?!" Father softly said.

"What are you talking about, huh?" Aretta is still not excited.

"Later Malem Ken will come here with his parents."

"Then?"

"Ken intends to propose to you."

The father's words succeeded in making Aretta surprised. His body that had been leaning weakly on the chair, now turned alert.

"What father mean? Even Are had not known of this before!" Aretta's voice began to rise.

"We had thought about this a long time before. We think Ken deserves to be your husband. By the way, he's well established and mature." Karin chimed in.

"But I don't care! Even I am twenty years old! I still want to enjoy my youth!" Aretta is getting emotional hearing Karin's words.

"All decisions are in Are's hands!" I tried to mediate.

"But think again! Where are there men who are already established and have everything like Ken? You would be so stupid to refuse a proposal! Even your father has already agreed to this match!" Karin is still trying to persuade Aretta.

"Are going home to mom right now!" Aretta rushed into her room.

He felt very upset by the attitude of his stepmother who only thought about the world. Without thinking about his heart.

Aretta was still tidying up her clothes that she was going to take to mom's house. But immediately his activity stopped when he found out that there was a father standing at the door of his room.

"Dad please, Are don't go!" I tried to persuade Aretta.

"But Are isn't getting married yet, Dad!" Aretta.

"Dad knows! But at least, meet Ken first and his parents later malem. After that, I won't make it anymore!" Father softly said.

"Dad please, don't embarrass me!" Say father again.

"But after this, there will be no more matchmaking! You don't want to marry someone you don't love!"

"Yes, I promise! I'm not going to make you accept Ken's proposal!"

"Okay, Are's going to obey my father's wish to see Ken and his parents. But tomorrow, Are will go straight to town B. Are only granted two days' permission." Aretta finally relented and complied with the father's request.

Day

A sedan stopped right on Dad's house. From there came a pair of parents and a boy carrying some hands. Yes, Ken came with his parents.

Karin who had welcomed on the porch of the house, immediately invited her guests to enter. He also invited his guests to talk very friendly.

"Where's the secret, Om?" Ask Ken who hasn't seen Aretta.

"Next call me first!" Father hurried to call Aretta who was still in her room.

Aretta finally came out to meet the guests who were waiting for her. She looks so graceful in a pink dress, with the hair she lets unravel.

"Well, the beauty of Aretta, it's just worth Ken not praying for us to come here!" Ken's mother praised Aretta.

"What the hell, ma'am!" Ken was embarrassed by his mother's words.

"Well, since Aretta's here, we'll start the show!" Ken's father is getting serious.

"Please!" Karin answered.

"The purpose of our arrival here is to propose to Aretta. As proof of our seriousness, Ken has prepared this!" Ken's father's words showed several boxes of gold jewelry and clothing.

"Waaah, you bother! Aretta's gonna want to get Ken, right?" Karin who was indeed spelled out matre spoke immediately after seeing the box in front of her was open.

"Full answer, I hand it over to Aretta. Because after all, Aretta's going to live later." Said the father who made Aretta a little relieved.

"Come dong Aretta, say yes!" Karin is still persuading.

"I'm sorry, aunt, I can't accept this proposal!" Said Aretta who rushed towards her room.

It made everyone there feel disappointed. Except for the father of course who does not want to force the will of his son.
