17 YEARS LATER
It did not feel like the day changed with Sunday, Sunday changed with the month, and the month changed with the year. Looked a young man dressed casual with torn jeans, white shirt on a black leather jacket, and shiny brown shoes. He walked down the stairs while whistling merrily. Today she made a pact with one of her lovers.
Yes, that young man is a playboy. He had a lot of heart that he hurt but he remained cool. The good looks, the sweet smile, the elite style, the rich man's son, make the young man a lot of gilai by the women. However, he only used the women to play around or interlude. Her former lover is untold by the fingers, as every girl she meets instantly falls in love with seeing her.
"Aris! Where are you going?" Aji asked as Aris walked through the living room, where her parents were relaxing.
That person is Aris Pranata. The eldest son of Aji Pranata and Evi Andriani. The once cute and adorable little boy is now incarnating into an annoying young man, Royal, and acting as he pleases. However, even so he never hurt his parents with words. Aris' attitude like this because Evi was very indulgent when Aris was a child.
"Father, Mama, and my beloved sister." Aris walked over to her family.
Ara Pranata is the second child of Aji and Evi. Her face was very pretty, cute, similar to Evi's. Not a few young men who approached the girl, but at this age, Ara had not thought about the problem of romance. He wants to focus on learning first.
Aris sat next to Ara. He ruffled his sister's hair in an anxious manner. While the eighteen-year-old girl clucked in annoyance, she distanced herself from Aris.
"Silver habits deh." he concluded annoyed while fixing his hair.
"You'll get old fast if you get angry like this."
Ara just turned her eyeballs off.
"Where are you going Aris? Why do you have to go out every night? Papa wonder, what benefit do you get if you come out like that?" Aji looked at Aris who was just acting relaxed.
"Damate, Pa. His name is also a young man, papa like not knowing just now."
"Pa, brother Aris can stay at home if he is not sick" continued Ara to bed the father.
"Hey, shut up little boy. You're a girl, you don't know anything about men."
"Heh, cocky!" ara replied annoyed.
"Here you go, why are you fighting?" Aji broke both of them. "Aris, at least think once about the difficulty of making money. You are very royal, wasteful, even so many people who come to papa and ask for money because of your actions. If you are unable to treat your friends, then you should not have to do that. Look at the condition of your money, do not just invite friends." explained Aji at length, every night he lectured Aris but the young man still did not want to know.
"So papa's counting the same son himself?"
"It's not a matter of Aris' calculations, but papa just wants you to learn frugal and independent. Don't be a few parents you rely on, you don't know how hard your parents are looking for money and you just want to spend it outside without thinking long."
Aris was just silent, he was used to being lectured like this and he was already immune.
"Your age is increasing, do you not want to get married, so learn to be independent from now on."
"I haven't thought about getting married" replied Aris making Aji shake his head.
"Aris, Mama admitted if all this time Mama spoiled you. But, this is not how Mama wants, son." said Evi softly.
Aris could not answer if Evi had spoken, she loved her mother very much and did not want to hurt her heart.
"I go first, my friends are waiting." Aris gets off the sofa without caring for the call from Aji.
After Aris came out of the house, Aji twitched his throbbing temple.
Ara who knew the current state of affairs preferred to leave from there, the beautiful girl walked up the stairs towards her room. He is close to both of his parents, unlike Aris who is closer to Evi than Aji.
"Why should you apologize? It's not your fault, maybe I'm the one who didn't educate her so hard she became like this."
"I overindulge him and fulfill all his wishes, Mas. Is it because of all that that so Aris went on?"
"No, Honey. You don't think like that. Already, I can definitely make that kid even better." Aji hugged Evi's body from the side.

Aris has arrived at the place of the tongkrongan, he brought a bottle of wine and snacks. Yes, this is the activity of the young people every night. They drank alcohol and partied. Sometimes, one of Aris's friends calls women to be their spectacle. However, it seemed that today they were the ones who would come alone to the place of those women.
"Hey, Ris!"
They roared, then sat down on a long bench. Aris placed the wine in the middle as well as the food.
"Hows it? Are you back at your Papa's lecture tonight?" ask one of Aris's friends.
The young man just shook his shoulders, he opened the wine lid and started pouring the contents into the glass.
"You know how my dad is? He must have lost if he didn't lecture me one night." said Aris then drank the wine in the glass with one gulp.
"Where, huh? Actually the three of us are just like you, but we don't care. Yes, if parents talk you should just shut up and think about something else that might make you excited about the day again" said Johan, a friend of Aris.
They talked to each other until shortly after, there came a younger young man below them. He is Willson Reagan, Aris' cousin and son of Ronald and Lusi. At the moment Willson is nineteen years old, he is studying at the same place as Aris.
"Hi, Wil. Where the hell is that?" asked Aris to raise one hand, they all bertos.
"Sorry, I'm late?" ask Willson while sitting not far from Aris.
"Lumayan, fifteen minutes late. You're like this every day, ngaret." Aris' teasing made Willson chuckle softly.
"Oh yeah, what's the activity tonight? Are there any women?" willson asked while giving a glance.
"You don't want to drink first? Tonight we're the ones going to go to those women" Aris said excitedly.
"really? Wow, I can't wait to see them." continued Willson.
Their association was so free, but the five of them could take care of themselves and the honor of the old man. Although they like to drink alcohol, but they never ruin girls or make the family name ugly.
"How can we go now?" ask Johan to his friends.
After everyone nodded, they went from there to the bar. The five handsome young men rode on their respective motors.
