Dara stepped foot into the elevator, Some people who already knew her greeted her as she entered. A busy morning for them and a bad morning for you. He had just moved from the rooftop when the dawn of azan reverberated. Her body is now suffering from fever.

No longer minding the slightly messy appearance. Only put more hands in his jacket pocket. Nanta had wanted to pick her up but Dara refused on the grounds that she had already booked a taxi.

Dara stepped out of the apartment directly to the taxi that was waiting for her.

After arriving he went straight into the house of Mbak Tia. She skipped school because her mood was bad and her body was a little weak.

"come in, Lo's lips?" tanya Mbak Tia who directly checks the body Andara.

"Lo fever! why not go to the hospital!" angry mbak Tia who immediately pulled Andara to the guest room.

Ma'am Tia knows very well that you don't like to be taken to the hospital. So he gave first aid and immediately called the doctor.

.......

"He was just exhausted, keep his body temperature stable. Minimize the medicine if the heat will not go down." explained the doctor.

"Is this dangerous? my sister has had a fever from this morning."

"It's okay, it's just that his body is weak, so his body immediately responds by raising his body temperature. That's normal." The doctor smiled and walked out of the room followed by Tia behind him.

"I think he's a little stressed, does he take sleeping pills often?" ask the doctor who was responded by Tia.

"She's just sometimes having trouble sleeping, but I don't think she ever talks about sleeping pills."

"Maybe it should be more supervised, children his age are sometimes implicit when they get into trouble. And try to keep his diet and sleep."

"well doc, thank you."

Ma'am Tia stared at the girl who was weakly rolled on the bed. Her lips were pale and looked thinner. Dara is a model who does not care about her body. Now what? they live apart and cannot always keep an eye on them. While at the age of Andara now much needed the role of the family in it.

"Hello sir."

"Andara's sick, she's down. Maybe it's time for the role of parents to be present as reinforcement in her life."

"No sir, well understood."

After closing the call he let out a tired breath, what do your parents mean, when telling you if you are sick. The old man was very angry but when told to take care he refused loudly.

Mbak Tia also sat on the bed continuing his work while keeping an eye on Andara's condition.

......

"Lo see Andara?"

"no, he truant.alah not only lessons but doang competitions" replied Alan without looking.

"Yes but who is the same? noh the Vian just come in," replied Saka.

"Yes truant doesn't have to be the same Vian. You've been looking at the rooftop."

"Udah, there's no him." Saka answered while looking up.

"God, he's so big."

Saka rolled his eyes lazily. He went back to his Volunteers. He had a training session today. But the girl disappeared somewhere.

"Yes, Lo see you?" alan asked Tyas who was just sitting next to him.

"Somewhat, skip her times."

Alan just nodded. Fita did not attend the training session because he was busy as a committee in the race.

No different than Josh. He was looking for the girl's whereabouts earlier. Still remember the sad face of Andara yesterday. He was worried when he did not see the girl present today.

.......

"What time is this?" dara asked weakly because she was still dizzy.

"Jam one noon. Lo laper?" his tan turned his gaze from the laptop towards the girl beside him.

Dara nodded, her body limp and a little hungry. Mbak Tia deftly helps you wake up and get food for Andara.

Finish eating Andara rest again while watching television cinema cartoon in the room. The phone rings shifted his focus. Check the name on the screen.

"Hallo napa sis?" the answer is to try as much as possible.

"Will you come to the hospital?"

"Em, who's sick?" dara pretended not to know.

"Grandfather, did I ever tell you that?" ask Nanta while remembering.

"Belom, maybe the brother told the other sister's friends," said Andara sad. He was the last person to be told.

"Come huh? I'll pick you up later. There's Abi and Umi there." Nanta.

"em." um." You're confused this is the first time. He is afraid if he refuses. "May I pick you up at Tia's house."

"My dear Okey, Miss u my princess."

Dara just hung up the phone. Still remembered clearly if the smile of his lover when with the woman.

"Who's calling? Nanta?" tia asked the mother who had just entered the room.

"He'em, I'd like to see your grandfather and his parents." Answer without passion.

"Cie wants to be known to the in-laws. But how sad is that?"

"I'm confused mbak. Sometimes I think that there's someone else who's more worthy of someone as good as Nanta."

"No, that's the answer. Don't care about inappropriate or inappropriate words. If you love then keep it but if not let go. Sometimes people who retreat on excuses will have people better than him that stale! Where there is a word of affection if each other's release is mutual defense." Obviously Tia lang.

Dara silently thought about what Tia said. He loved his girlfriend very much. And his lover wants to fight for him then why should he give up when he is struggling.

"Mbak Tia. Dara can't give up, Dara will prove if you deserve."

they hi five and laugh as if getting a big reward. Ma'am Tia is happy Andara looks cheerful again. Honey if that pretty face becomes moody, he just needs support and encouragement.

"Mbak pesenin clothes that fit yes for later You don't want to be embarrassed later in front of the parents of sister Nanta."

"Ready, but the heat should really go down first." Ma'am Tia gave the medicine that the doctor had given her.

........

"My parents didn't bite me. They're good, you nervous Jan gini dong. Cook a gini." Ledek Nanta who is usually responded to with this punch is not you passed by nervously.

"You're the usual guest, whatever their opinion doesn't affect my love for you."

Dara nodded but still did not speak. Between happy and nervous because this is the first time I've met.

They entered the grandfather's ward, there was a middle-aged couple and an old man on the bed, gazing towards their arrival.

Dara tried to put on a smile as sweet as possible, but when her gaze met with the gaze of the hijab girl she had been questioning, Andara so frowned dislike.

After realizing he was only silent when Nanta Salim to his parents. Dara became increasingly unpleasant and immediately followed what Nanta did earlier.

It could be seen the expressions of the people in front of him who were secretly assessing his appearance. But even so they do not show a dislike look.

The Ardito family has a strong principle of not judging people by appearance alone. They also instill it in their children.

"Who's this, son?" umi asked with a smile.

"It's.... Andara." Replied Nanta who was focused on paying attention to the expressions of his parents.

"Oh that Andara." Answer Abi spontaneously.

Dara was awkward. He smiled with a nervous face.

"Greetings Om Aunt, grandfather and em.." Dara does not yet know the name of the beautiful woman standing near Uminya Nanta.

"Yes, greetings to Andara. Don't be nervous, Umi didn't bite. And this is Nadia, her..." Umi is also confused about who to introduce Nadia as. It is impossible to call him a son-in-law.

"Assalamualaikum Andara, I'm Nadia." The warm greetings shown by the woman made you more relaxed.

"Wallaikumsalam sis." Answer you politely.

Abi and Umi do not expect Andara will return the greetings from Nadia. While the grandfather who saw Dara's hand was still perched on Nanta's arm thumped hard.

"Eh." While glancing towards that related hand.

Nanta who understood instantly took off Andara's hand slowly. He smiled sweetly at the girl beside him.

"Em this was Dara making Cake matcha without sugar for grandpa." Andara put the cake on the table.

But grandfather just smiled and shifted his gaze. Seen if maybe grandpa doesn't like her. But Andara did not take heart by still putting a smile on her beautiful face.

"Would you make this yourself?" ask Umi who opened the package and tried the cake made by Andara.

"Yes Aunty, you like to eat cake, so often make your own cake if you stumble." Reply Andara was a little enthusiastic because Uminya Nanta wanted to taste his homemade cake.

"Em good, try Bi." Umi feeds the cake into Abi's mouth. Abi nodded after feeling the cake on his tongue.

"Can cooking be? Nadia pinter cook, and the cooking is good," Grandpa's speech made the atmosphere so tense again.

Nadia, whose name is also called so unpleasant with Andara.

"However, you used to cook yourself in the apartment. But it's just simple cooking." Andara said it like a kid whose toy was ridiculed by someone else.

"Well, you live alone?" Ask Umi again.

Nanta cleared his throat, then replied.

"Become live alone. Because it's closer to school."

"Oh, your parents don't worry about girls living alone." Grandfather still replied with a dislike tone.

Oh come on Andara's just a 17-year-old. But grandfather thinks of Andara as a mature girl who will snatch Nanta from his future granddaughter-in-law. He really likes Nadia as a companion of Nanta, as well as Nanta's parents. It's just that Nanta's parents didn't want to offend the beautiful girl standing next to his son.

"Become want to be independent grandfather." Dara replied cheerfully while her heart was being sliced. This was what he feared, the problem of parents that Dara herself did not understand.

"Here, sit down yuk." Take Nanta to pull Andara to sit down.

Abi and Umi also sat next to Nadia and Nanta who were next to Dara.

"What other activities do you have besides school?" nadia asked trying to get more familiar.

"Work, be a model" replied Andara smiling at the woman.

Dara's answer made Umi and Abi look at each other. They do not know if being a model means posing in front of the crowd, which certainly shows off beauty to the crowd.

Nanta who understood the thoughts of his parents added.

"Between also a painter, at his age he could finance the necessities of his life, including school and shelter." Nanta said proudly.

Dara who became embarrassed because Nanta was excessive, it was not something to be proud of. Life is not wanted by his own parents is a disgrace to him.

"Great dong. I'm at your age still just studying and tutoring." Praise Nadia sincerely.

"Well, isn't it hard for the time?" ask Abi for the first time.

"At first it was difficult and so often sick because of soy sauce, but for a long time ordinary kok om" replied Andara honestly.

"Call Abi and Umi just like Nanta, don't call Auntie or om." Umi smiled beautifully at her age who had already stepped on the head of four.

"Yes, Umi." Dara is happy because she is not considered a stranger.

Although Abi and Umi's attitude is friendly, Nanta knows that they still do not want to cancel the match because of their different religions. But Nanta wants to fight while he can and can.

"I used to want to be a painter, but I didn't arrive because there's no talent."

"Sister Nadia can really, as long as the practice continues."

"yeah, but it's hard I've learned so much. You should be thankful for being gifted by God." Nadia begins to like Dara because the girl apparently deserves the attention of Nanta, independent and strong.

"Because I'm grateful, but that's because you have to work. Maybe God wants you to be able to work at an early age. But sometimes Dara is also upset to want to often play other games."

Andara's answer was responded to a smile by Nanta's parents, but from that answer they became more convinced Dara was more suitable to be a sister only for Nanta. They are too young and the most important thing is the difference between the two.

"And if you count the favors of Allah, you cannot determine the number, verily Allah is all-righteous, all-forgiving, most merciful." (QS. An Nahl:18)

Umi and Abi smiled at what Nadia said. The woman besides her voice was beautiful but also a Quran memorizer. The more happy they are to be made. I can't wait to take him as a son-in-law.

But then they realized that including Nadia, he was so bad because he forgot that you are a Catholic. But he delivered a verse of the Quran in front of him. Afraid of being considered insulting, Nadia apologized.

"Gak papa kok brother, Dara also often denger kak Nanta teachi. Dara likes the chanting of the holy verse." Dara answered that made them more confused by this situation.

Nanta knows this won't be easy. Dara also knows it won't be easy, but Dara just wants to fight for her feelings.
