Blue Berets
10. Engagement Day
Kirana accidentally cancels her weekly appointment with Keenan because of Bang Adnan's return and suddenly she invites Kirana to go together. He said he wanted to take Kirana for a walk to the foot of the mountain while looking for fresh air because his brother was stuffy with dense, hot, and busy urban conditions. Toh Abang promised to take her home before lunch so Kirana was invited. Even Papa and Mama join the frenzy asking to go for a walk with his two daughters.
"Ma, how will lunch at the cafe?" bring Papa.
"What's wrong at Kirana's cafe? crepes doang most equally boba," said Adnan.
"But mutek mulu so people," said Kirana did not hesitate to pinch her brother's arm.
"Bang, I've always gotten along why the hell is the same. Mama wants to see you guys uwu-uwuan that's rich Keenan with his brother," said Mama.
"Keenan again brought around," said Bang Adnan.
"Yes no papa Bang, your mama was again a moment of silence again dapet montu. Wait for you" said Papa.
"Adnan did not want to look for Pa, ntar aja if adek new marriage Adnan looking for. After all, if you already have a wife who keeps it adek who?" adnan said to both parents but still could be heard by Kirana who blushed.
"Have pret guard he said. Tell me not to be willing to separate from me, monkey," Kirana said while slapping her brother's thigh hard.
"Yes including that, hahahaha," Adnan responded by ruffling Kirana's long hair that he let loose without being held up with a pinch or a ponytail. At first Adnan and Kirana call each other "monkey" because Mama once bought 2 brown monkey dolls, which are quite large for Brother and a relatively small one for adek. Eh so big they even mocked each other stuffed monkeys similar to each other.
Papa had strictly forbidden Kirana to call her brother with a disrespectful call so, but over time Papa was silent, they still use it only when relaxing time with family or friends only. If both are faced with a formal situation they will mention each other with respect.
"Where does this go to eat? Papa the monkey down if the fight is glaring," said Papa mediate. They also listen to their debates for a long time.
"Mama monkey said where she wants to be" said Adnan.
"Why did Mama get dragged into a monkey too."
"Mama mah is not a monkey, but a lioness" Kirana said to make Mama growled but Papa laughed. It is true, his wife is like a lioness whose hunting instinct is high when it is angry. Let alone waiting to be nudged, just met face to face has been hacked.

They actually came to Kirana's cafe for lunch. As the first customer again. They ordered a lot of things that afternoon. Kirana first helps Seno make a new order and she sits down with Papa, Mama, and Bang Adnan. Lucy and Nigrum had already greeted Papa and Mama, but Dimas, Seno, and Silma did not understand who they were until they were so privileged by their boss that after Ningrum said they all three also greeted.
"Specifically for Bang Adnan and Kirana whose food portions are god-level, the portion is I added," said Lucy who brought the order.
Lucy seemed troubled when she took down one plate after another from the tray so Bang Adnan took the initiative to help her, she channeled the plates of Mama and Papa's orders. When she grabs a plate of pasta, her hands and Lucy meet, leaving Lucy and Adnan quiet for some time. Kirana looked at him and found that there was something else in Lucy's eyes when she looked at her brother. After the incident, Kirana half-deadly held her laughter until she had to slap her own cheek to regain her consciousness. He realized something, he realized that his best friend Lucy liked Bang Adnan.
"When do you start your duties?" tanya Papa resuscitated her son who was half-dreaming while making Lucy whose face was as red as a tomato immediately saying goodbye.
"Tomorrow also has been Pa's duty, all Mondays want to be known in the morning apple," said Abang.
"Where's the task at the police?" ask Mama.
"Not one office means the same Raihan?" ask Papa.
"No. He will now have a good position, katim anyway, if he moves the division must start again from the beginning dong," said Adnan explained.
"Keep if you are adek? Will you graduate again, graduate want to work here or have another dream?" ask Papa.
"There is no wealth. If I were really with Keenan, he would have been accepted to work at TVRI. My income from this cafe is enough. The work is also flexible so I can still have more time for Keenan" Kirana said.
"Are you the same Keenan serious?"
"Papa asked that almost every day. Seriously, Papa, next month I finish graduation he's the same as Daddy Mommy wants to come home, his engagement ring is also ready," Kirana said.
"What about Brother himself? Agreed that the couple marry Keenan?" ask Papa.
"Why not? Besides Keenan, there are no more guys who want to form the same rich form of monkeys like this," said Adnan.
Kirana can only grunt, want to be prayed for a soul mate Lucy. It was his best friend who would become his sister-in-law. He can't make things difficult for both of them, he'll get karma again. After eating, Papa, Mama, and Adnan leave Kirana who still has to work. Bang Adnan later tonight promised to pick her up because Keenan was at his grandmother's house in Salatiga so he couldn't pick up Kirana.
...***...
As planned, today after the graduation Father and Mother came to approach the Kirana family. Father, Mother, Papa, Mama, Bang Adnan, and Lucy and Ningrum's family witnessed Keenan pin the ring on Kirana's ring finger. Although his fiancee's event is not formal, but at least tied up first there is an event. For the formal event later if it is close to the wedding date, he said.
Because the three cafe owners happened to graduate on the same day, the cafe closed all day to host a large family of cafe owners who were happy all celebrating the engagement of Keenan and Kirana. The two were engrossed in photos with a photographer acquaintance Keenan in a photo booth while their families were busy chatting while enjoying a buffet prepared by Mother Keenan, Ningrum, and Lucy.
"At the end of the day our children's friendship flows into a large family. I am happy to get to know you all the family of Sister Lucy and Sister Ningrum, hopefully their friendship and our brotherhood can continue until old age. Finally I congratulate our two children Kirana Dwi Dhanastri and Keenan Raditya Ghifari who are officially engaged today. May all the affairs, ideals, and dreams of my children all be achieved and become the pride of parents in their own way" said Papa who opened the event tonight.
After Papa opened the event, Papa joined the fathers, Mama joined the mothers while others chatted with photos. Because the main characters are Keenan and Kirana, so those who are surrounded by friends who are also invited on this occasion.
"Congratulations, yes" said Bang Raihan.
"Thank you Bang. Pray well until Ijab," said Keenan greeting Bang Raihan steadily.
"Aamiin," said Bang Raihan.
"When do you want this too? Losing you equally bocil," said Adnan who came directly to embrace Raihan's shoulder.
"No doubt you mblo," said Raihan smacked Bang Adnan's stomach and then passed from before Keenan and Kirana.
It was a very happy night for Keenan and Kirana. Binding them with dijari rings becomes a sign if they both stand by their promises, sincerely living the commitment they have maintained for years. Although to be honest, Keenan and Kirana are equally afraid of facing the world of marriage. But the two equally promise to understand each other and remind each other. They both promise that whatever happens, they will face both.
