“Hmm.....” said Ana who hesitated to continue.
“Main secrets now.” Said Arief who was used to Ana being honest and what it is.
“Not so. But I'm afraid brother misunderstood later.” Ana.
“Even if you are like this, my mind becomes weird.” Arief.
“Oh. Sorry, brother, before. Actually, I meant you guys were my brother and best friend.” Obviously Ana.
“Friend? Female what male?” ask Arief.
“Iya, she's a friend. She's male. But really, he's just a friend and nothing more.” Ana tries to convince Arief.
“Iya.. yes... I believe, really. But I said we were weird. Strange what?” ask Arief.
“Ya bizarre. If the brother knew about what happened later and also if we have the possibility not to meet. If my best friend, obviously someone likes him very much but he really does not like and careless. Weird right?!” said Ana.
“Oh. I think it's weird why. Maybe he likes someone else. She's so sick of people who like her.” Arief.
“Maybe too, yes. Why don't I get to mind about it, huh?!” I say to myself.
“Entahlah. Oh yes, An. I may not be contacting you in a few days. I'm on family business.” Said Arief who tried to calm down to think again.
“O yes already then, Brother. Its alright. Hope everything is smooth yes, brother.” Ana.
“Amiiin. Yes, already then. It's late, we'll continue again sometime, how? Tomorrow you have to work.” Arief.
“Oh so. Yes, already then. I slept first. Assalamu’alaikum.” Ana.
“Wa’alaikumsalam.” Sahut Arief, then the phone was terminated.
Shortly after getting a call from Ana, Arief was pensive. He would be very guilty if he were to be engaged to another woman.

The next day, Arief was working as usual. But what distinguishes him this time is the look of his face that looks dull.
This was noticed by his father.
“See tuh, ma'am. Arief doesn't seem happy.” Said his father Arief but ignored by his mother Arief.
While in the office, Arief was laying his head on the table. He was really not excited anymore to go through the day.
At the same time, Faisal came and as usual without knocking on the door first.
Faisal sat in front of Arief watching Arief's behavior and asked “What else, Rief?”
“Ha?! Uh you, Sal. There is nothing.” Sahut Arief who then put his head back on the table.
Seeing Arief's behavior, Faisal could only shake his head. Not long after how long...
“Sal, I may ask your suggestion, no?” ask Arief.
“Ya... Of course I can lha, Rief. Want to ask for advice what?” ask Faisal.
Then Arief told Faisal and Faisal listened carefully.
After everything was told, Arief asked Faisal about his opinion and advice.
Faisal looked like he was thinking and a few moments later he said, “Rief, I want to ask, did your parents you never tell me about Ana?”
“This place is his fault. You should have told her from the beginning about Ana to your parents.” Faisal said as he looked at the book on the table.
“Oh that, huh?! So I'm wrong, huh?!” arief and Faisal said.
“Then now I have to how, Sal?” ask Arief.
“Ya.. how do you, Rief. You see, in this case, your parents cannot be blamed completely. Now try this. try to tell your parents two if there is actually another woman you care about.” Faisal.
“Oh, so yes. Yes I tried.” Arief.
“But remember, Rief. Leave everything back to the one above. Whatever happens later, it is a provision from Him.” Faisal and Arief nodded.
“Thanks yes, Sal.” Arief.
“Yo’i. equally, Rief. You're patient, yes.” Faisal and Arief nodded.

At night, Arif also tried to tell his parents. Especially to his mother.
“Dad, Mom...” said Faisal who was then to his two parents was busy watching television.
“Eh you, Rief. What's up?” ask Dad.
“Dad, mom. There's something I really want to tell you.” Arief.
“What's up? Just say it, Rief. Don't hesitate.” Saying Father.
“Hmm like this, Dad, mom. I actually... actually before you guys decided to betroth me yesterday, there was a woman who I loved very much.” Arief.
“Really?” ask Dad.
“Halah.. most of that is the reason you just to refuse this engagement.” Say mother.
“No, mom. I'm honest. That's what it is. I love other people, Mom. Sorry.” Arief.
“Cannot. You better cut off your relationship with that woman.” Mother's mouthful.
“But, bu.” Arief.
“No buts. I don't want to know, anyway you have to stay engaged to Kinan and immediately cut off your relationship with the woman.” Said the mama and went straight away.
Hearing mother's answer, Arief was shocked. Because for him, even though he asked for any length of time to think, still the result is the same. She must still give up on her relationship with Ana and accept this engagement.
The father who saw Arief's situation could not do anything. Because he understood the character of his stubborn wife.
“Rief, you better try to talk carefully with the woman you like. Who knows, all your heartbreak can be answered.” Saying Father.
“Oh so yes, Dad?! But did it not hurt his heart?” ask Arief.
“Rief, I can't say it will hurt him or not. But according to the father, a good relationship is a relationship that is grounded in honesty. Rather than having to know it from someone else. That would be very painful, Rief if compared if you were honest.” Obviously Father.
“Oh so yes, well?! Yes, I'll slowly tell him.” Arief is actually heavy and does not want to do it.
After telling the truth to his parents, Arief's heart became more troubled. Because he inevitably had to accept this engagement and say it to Ana.
“Haiz... An, how should I, baby? On the one hand, I can't let you go. On the other hand, I'm supposed to accept this engagement. I'm confused, honey. I'm so confused. I have to how?” arief muttered to himself.
Seriate..
