The girl just followed Adri who wanted all of you to ask her to meet her parents. Mila couldn't lie to her little heart that really loved that guy.

"Dek, we buy souvenirs for the family in the village first, yes" Adri told Mila. He asked his driver to stop at the souvenir center in the city of Bukittinggi.

"Anyone's house, Dek?" tanya Adri wants to know the woman's family.

"There's Dad and Mom, and there's two of my sisters, Mas" Mila answered honestly.

"Jaudah, after buying souvenirs, we stopped at the Bukittinggi plaza to buy something for them" said Adri who still wanted to give something to his future in-laws and sisters-in-law.

"Eh, no, my. Don't bother," Mila refused to feel very uneasy. That woman doesn't want to eat too much.

"It's okay, don't feel bothered. Only once in a while. Don't refuse, I sincerely give.

Mila is confused to behave how to the man, afraid to make Adri offended if always refused. Finally, he accepted whatever he bought.

Feeling that enough was enough, the couple resumed their journey. At six o'clock in the afternoon their car had entered the city of Padang. Mila immediately showed me her home address.

Mila was enthusiastically welcomed by her family. Moreover, his two younger siblings are still occupying junior high school. Mila brought Adri into the simple house.

"Assynoltom... "

The couple said their greetings, and were greeted by both parents kindly.

"How are you, Mom?" asked Mila while greeting her parents' hands with reverence, and hugging longing.

"Alhamdulillah, you and your parents are healthy, son. I'm very happy, Finally Onang came home," said Mother seemed so happy to welcome the return of her eldest daughter.

"Yes, Mom, Dad, it's Mas Adri." Mila introduced the man to her parents.

"Minal Aidin Wal Faidzin, Ma'am, Dad," said Adri greeted the hand of his future father-in-law politely.

"Together, Son. Come on, let's go in." The couple brought their children and guests in.

"Mila was busy helping Mom in the kitchen preparing a lebaran dish that was deliberately stored by the mother to welcome her home.

After eating, Adri took out the souvenirs he had bought in the city of Bukittinggi for them. Mila's sisters were so happy to get a Lebaran parcel containing new clothes from her future brother-in-law.

"It's good, my goodness, thank you so much Mas Adri," they said so happy while saying thank you.

"Yes, equally. Thank goodness you guys like it."

"Why bother like this, Adri boy. Mom's not good. This is too much," said Mother was so sad because of the many gifts given by the man.

"Don't hesitate, ma'am, I sincerely give him, I hope you and Dad like it too."

The family celebrated the Eid al-Fitr holiday full of warmth, although simple life, but Adri got comfort there. Not like his family is always full of emphasis. But as a child, Adri continued to follow the wishes of the mother, so as not to reduce her respect for the woman who had given birth to him.

Adri may be following all Mama's wishes, but not with a mate problem, the man is strongly opposed to matchmaking from the Mama. Because the soul mate is a matter of heart and for him once in a lifetime, then he will not be able to marry a woman he does not love.

It does not feel that now the fifth leafan Man is in the residence of his lover, Adri does not want to delay again to talk to both parents Mila. He will convey good intentions to ask for their daughter.

"Mom, Dad, I want to talk" said Adri a little nervous when dealing with her future in-laws.

"What is that, Adri boy?" ask me to be ready to listen.

"Well, Mom, I want to propose to Mila, I want to marry her" the man said earnestly.

"I'm sorry, son, I didn't reject your proposal, but tell your parents to come ask us. Because of our custom in Minang like that," said Father explained.

"Before I apologize for the sassness of myself who had come alone to propose to my Father's Daughter. I want to be honest, actually our relationship is not sanctioned by Mama, I only have Mama, Papa died two years ago. So let me ask Mila to ask her to be my wife. Although there was no blessing from Mama. But I promise to make Mila happy, I will not waste it, I will love her as sincerely as possible" Adri assured both of Mila's parents.

Mom and Dad looked at each other. It is not necessary to explain that the couple objected. They had previously given advice to his daughter, in order to find a man who is equal to their lives, so that later their daughter would not be the ingredients of the months on the part of her husband's family.

"Sorry, Adri boy. Mom and Dad can't give their blessing to your relationship either. If there's no blessing from your parents, then we won't marry Mila to you. We do not want one day Mila will be an insult in your family, you better just look for a woman who is worth it, because Mila is not worthy of being with you," he said.

"But, Dad?"

"But, Dad, Mas Adri and I love each other, Dad," Mila said.

"Mila, don't you remember Dad's message when you went to a village. Do not let just because of love, then your pride is lowered by your husband's family. If her parents don't approve, then I'll make sure there's no happiness in your household!" refute Dad.

Mila looked at Adri with tears. I can't afford to part with the man she loves. The girl was sad.

"Well, please give me a chance to prove that I can make Mila happy even without my parents' blessing. I will also try to soften Mama's heart," said the man still trying to convince the father of his lover.

"No! Once you say no, so please understand."

Adri breathed deeply. His chest felt tight when the parent refused his wish that would justify his woman. Mila was still crying while looking down.

"Solve your problems, after that Nak Adri immediately leave here. We also do not feel good to be seen by the neighbors, because it accommodates foreigners here," said the father firmly.

Adri just nodded in understanding. Both of Mila's parents left those who were still sitting in the guest roar. Now the couple do not know what to talk and do.

"Sir, I'm sorry if I haven't convinced both your parents. But I will not give up so easily" the man told the lover.

"What should I do? I know very well what Dad's attitude is, he will not change his decision if he says no" explained Mila who knows how his father.

"I don't care, Deck. Let me keep fighting!" the man was still steadfast with his stance.

"Mas Adri, please go home. Maybe we are not a match, because both parties do not approve of our relationship. I always pray, may you get the best soul mate," said Mila trying to let go and end their relationship.

"Mila, what are you saying? Why are you so easy to make this decision?" exclaims Adri does not understand the way of thinking of the lover.

"What do I do, Mom? We will not be united if parents do not approve," explained Mila still trying to convince.

"I'll try Mil, I'll convince your Mom and Dad."

"Already, Mas. Do not take actions that will be in vain. I know how Mom and Dad are. So is custom in this land of minang."

"Have you given up?" tanya Adri asks for the final answer from the woman he loves.

"Yes, I give up, Mom, I can't marry you if there's no blessing from our parents. What Dad said is true, no one can guarantee that I will one day be the subject of your parents' insults."

Adri stared in disbelief at the woman. A feeling of disappointment so great was piled up in his heart. It turns out that only up there struggle Mila to maintain their relationship.

"Well, if that's what you want. I'm leaving now, but one thing you should know, I'll never stop wishing for you. If one day you come back to ask me to fight, then I will come to fight for the blessing of your parents" explained the man still assured Mila.

"Why are you just struggling to get my parents' blessing? Why don't you fight for your Mama's blessing, Mas? Did you know that your mother will never give her blessing?" ask Mila suspiciously.

"Alright, I will also fight to get Mama's blessing first, but then promise not to turn me down again. I'll go now, you take good care of yourself huh. I will always miss you." Without asking for permission, Adri immediately hugged the woman as a last hug.

Mila couldn't hold back the tears. The girl also returned the embrace of the Man she loved. With a sincere heart he let Adri leave his hometown.

Mila was still staring as the black Pajero sports exceed disappeared from her sight. The girl's heart was still broken. Mila immediately went into her room to shed her tears.

Mila sobbed withholding the perceived tightness. While Adri was also silent in his car. The man refused to talk when his friend brought him to talk.

"Udah, there's no need to upset everything. Believe me, if the soul mate is not going anywhere," explained his friend named Hamdan.

"But it feels really bad, Ham, what if later Mila married someone else for the choice of both parents," Adri replied.

"Yes, that means you're not a match. That's it, '" replied Hamdan.

"Geez, how nice your mouth is by the way. You think I can just let go? I can't let that woman have to fall in the hands of another man!" the argument does not accept.

"Here you go, don't think too much. You must focus on your initial intention, which is to ask for the blessing of your mother. Well, after getting Restu, then you face back to both parents Mila," said Hamdan gave a solution.

"Yes, you're right. I have to ask Mama's blessing to marry Mila. At any rate, I should be able to convince Mama" Adri replied confidently.
