Character recognition in the story.

Riant.

A teenager who is comfortable in simplicity, does not like to look for fuss let alone sensation. Just wanting to flow like water, calm and peaceful, he wanted to live like that. Rianti itself has a pretty level, thick eyebrows, a pointed nose and slightly thin cheeks. Just not confident. Kuper (less association) maybe that's the right name for him. With a small posture, tend to be short and straight hair shoulder to shoulder, she is often mistaken for a junior high school student. Pissed off? Of course, it is considered that minors are painful.

Manners, that is what is always embedded in Rianti's mind. Because his father, Ady Gustiawan who works as a teacher often advises him on the importance of that attitude. An attitude that will make us calm, because by being polite will make others comfortable.

Rianti is the 3rd of 6 children. His eldest brother was named Reka. The 24-year-old is now an honorary teacher at the school where their father teaches. Then 21-year-old Riko who is now studying abroad. While Rianti's younger brothers named Reza , Rosi, and there is the youngest, Roni.

Shinta is grateful to have such a wonderful family and to love her so much. So Shinta felt like she was not a niece there.

After graduating High School, Shinta decided to go with Rianti to work in the city of Semarang, leaving their hometown in Jogja. While others are busy enrolling at various universities, they are busy looking for work. Despite not being able to attend college, they remain happy with their decision.

One night in the city of Jogja, seen a couple who were sitting on the terrace. They are Rianti's parents.

Ady Gustiawan and Dewi. The look of sadness is engraved on the faces of those who have begun to age.

"Since six months he's been wandering, I'm worried, sir. No one takes care of eating and takes care of his health there." The goddess said while holding back tears that were ready to spill. Feelings of anxiety always approaching, especially the girl was never far from them at all.

"God willing there will be nothing, Mom. We surrender to God, we pray that Riri and Shinta will be fine. After all, they wandered because of their own desires. Didn't Mom let them go either" Ady said, trying to calm his wife. The weak body of the Goddess with one hand. Close him tightly.

"We just believe in them, Mom. We have also often taught and nasehatin Riri, about which good is bad, which is halal and which is illegal. Hopefully he is there always kept away from danger," Ady added again

"Yes, Sir. Hopefully our daughter is fine, and always remember the advice of the mother ...."

Ady and Dewi were both silent. Wrestling with each other's minds. Look at the starless night sky. Enjoy the cool breeze that hits the skin.

"Riri's next week's birthday, right?" tanya Ady mediates the goddess reverie.

"Tomorrow try Mom call him, tell him to come home, we celebrate his birthday together," Ady continued.

The goddess fell silent, trying to remember Rianti's birth date. And a few seconds later his eyes instantly widened and reflexively hit his own forehead. "Oalah .. yes. Forgot Mom, sir."

Ady smiled, understanding the forgetful nature of the Goddess. Because in addition to the age that is not young anymore, the bustle of the Goddess as a housewife with six children is not a joke. Adi salute that. He was lucky and always grateful for having a super wife like the Goddess. Although their relationship started not from love, but still, if sincere, love can grow by itself.

"Oh yeah, they're home yet, Mom? Last permission the same father said he wanted to go out for a while to print the questions replay for tomorrow." Adi's gaze returned to the night sky. There was a fog of sadness in his eyeballs.

"Udah, Sir. Now maybe he's sleeping in the room again" replied Dewi as she tidied up Roni's toys strewn on the floor.

Ady again pensively thought of Reka, his eldest son. At the age of Reka should now have a prospective husband and it is time to get married. However, every time he was asked about his girlfriend, Reka just kept quiet and immediately switched the conversation.

"Mom, how about we find a soul mate for Design." Ady looked seriously at the Goddess who was tidying up the toys.

"Why, Sir? The age of the new design is 24 years old, let it go first, sir. If you've met the soul mate yes .. surely will be married, so there is no need in any soul mate," replied Dewi while sitting back.

Ady breathed a long breath. "Father, it feels weird, Mom. That design is not like any other girl. He only works in the mulu room, he goes out of the room if he wants to eat the same as going to the bathroom. How do you want to get a soul mate, Mom?" Ady rubbed his angry face with one hand. Spreading the frustration that comes back.

"Patience, Sir. Sheds, death and matchmaking have been arranged."

"But you want to spend nimang grandson. The other teachers are all nimang grandchildren, when is it your turn, Mom?" Ady took a breath back.

The goddess smiled at her husband's complaint. He also wanted a grandson. But how else. The eldest son was too passive, more or less Rianti who preferred silence rather than talking at length.

"Yes sir, enter first yuk, it's night," asked Dewi while standing and holding her husband's hand to enter the house. Ady came in and locked the door.
