Let's say it's the most thrilling day for a Jino. He set himself in front of a wide glass decorated with wood-shaped carvings of flowers on the wall. For the umpteenth time he observed his appearance. Plain white shirt combined black jeans. Not to forget the watch he bought yesterday at the flea market. The cowhide shoes were also borrowed from Alfaro. Yes, at least he should look neat and convincing in the presence of prospective in-laws, right?
Last night he and Nisa had just arrived in Jakarta to talk to papa and mama Nisa. Thanks to Nevan's kindness, he was able to provide round-trip airfare facilities along with hotel reservations for the next two days.
The sound of knocking on the door of my room was heard, Jino knew it must be Nisa. Just the noise can be guessed. The girl was really impatient. Funnily enough, he chose to book the room next to Jino's room. He said he had to sleep at home. Most will only get a long hospitality from his mother. Or worse, he will be offered dozens of male names from the children of his mother's acquaintances to be betrothed.
Jino opened the door after making sure he was ready with everything, including mentally as well.
"Got long! Hunt for the afternoon," snorted Nisa. She looked beautiful with a white hairy bandana on her head. Jino could only pinch his future wife's cheeks.
"Just leave."
"Messenger Grubcar first." Nisa reminded.
"Udah. We'll wait in the lobby."

Diana's two eagle eyes stared in horror at the figure of the princess and the guy sitting next to her. It was as if he wanted to swallow his son alive that was so irritating. Could-can just say will introduce prospective husband five minutes ago. Diana had nothing to stock up on, except a can of KhongGhuan biscuits, a tenuous and warm cup of tea by Aunt Sumirah.
"So, what's your name?" Diana begins the interrogation.
"Candy, Mah. Kan, Nisa said that."
"You ask him, not you! You're silent. Go to the room and look at Papah. Mamah wants an exclusive four-eye interview with this kid."
Diana is not to be denied. Nisa stood up and shot to the second floor. He turned his head again towards Jino and clenched two hands excitedly. "Spirit!" he said without a sound.
Jino just smiled clumsyly. Cold sweat began to fill his epidermal cavity.
"Old people exist? Why not invited?" Diana suspected.
"Sorry Aunt, my parents are long gone. My sister was in Bali but was pregnant, she said nervously.
"Fixed work?"
Jino massaged the nape. His face was getting confused. "I'm an online taxi driver, Auntie. Sometimes side help so waiters part time at a friend's restaurant."
Hearing Jino's reply just now, Diana's heart began to be exposed to intense pressure. He felt dizzy in his head. How can he let his daughter marry a man whose origins are unclear and whose job is not guaranteed. Another thing with Nevan first, if Diana agrees immediately. Because Nevan is well established and can certainly be responsible for anything about finances. Nisa is the only daughter. Although she is often upset, Diana still does not want her child to live a lack out there.
Maybe Nisa's still working. She can still help her husband. But when pregnant and have children later, what will be the fate? Diana could not imagine it. He raised Nisa with everything that was enough. It can't be that easy to be willing to give up her daughter to an unestablished man.
"Now live in your own house or?"
"Still costing, Aunt."
Diana shook her head in frustration.
"You're here to buy your own ticket?" the question that suddenly tricked Diana's mind.
"I'm assisted by Brother Nevan, Auntie."
"What?!" Diana's hysterical.
"What the hell are you?! The work is still mining, it's still running, the donation ticket, come here alone without a guardian. You think my son is that cheap?!" diana was emotionally disturbed. He sipped the herbal tea in his cup to relieve the sudden invasiveness.
Jino bowed listlessly. Her heart ached receiving the blasphemy Diana just now. However, he also realized all the words of Nisa's mother were true.
After putting the cup back on the table, Diana had her side in disbelief. "Son, living the gospel must be realistic. Love can't feed you enough." Diana took a short breath, then continued her sentence. "You know what living expenses we transfer to Nisa's account each month? I am sure your salary will not be enough to meet his needs. Your own needs just seem to have not been met, right?!"
Again Jino's heart was like being stabbed and bombarded with ammunition repeatedly. He is losing confidence.
"Sorry before, but I firmly stated, I cannot condone your relationship. You can go home now. Take a good look at what I mean. Don't take it raw. Understood?"
With a languid Jino was only able to nod. Then say goodbye without waiting for Nisa to come down. He really felt like he was falling too far. Her pride was lightning-fast slammed from the highest tower of Nisa's mother's ego. But it was true what Diana said. It is only natural for parents to see the seedlings of a person's bebet weights, if they want to enter to be part of their family.
Jino's soul had been shaken violently. He misses his parents. He misses his family. That afternoon, Jino returned home to the hotel room accompanied by an inflamed inner cry.

"Where is Jino, Mah?" Nisa did not find the figure of the lover.
"Udah Mamah told me to go home. What are you, Nis?! Mamah choose many candidates who are right for you even rejected all. But, now go home and even bring a rasp is not clear so. You want to make Mama and Papa stressed again, huh?!" diana's long scolding filled the living room.
Nisa doesn't accept it. Just look at his blazing eyes. "Mamma! Jino is not a bully! Jino is a nice and responsible guy! Nisa won't be coming home again before Mamah pulls Mama's words and blesses our relationship. Point!"
The girl just walked away from her mother.
"Nisa! Waitaminute! Mom hasn't finished talking! Lisa!"
Diana's roar was no longer touched by Nisa. Diana called Nevan.
"Hello, Nevan!"
"Yes, Mah. Wh why? What was? Slow down, Mah."
"You're a big brother and I don't think about kindness to your sister, Van! Long can hang Mamah if this is the way!"
"dither. Nevan didn't know what Mamah meant. Mamah why?"
"You didn't tell Mamah about Nisa's obscure boyfriend! You guys don't think the same!"
"meaning Jino? Jino's a good boy and tang-"
"Huh! Mama doesn't care! Anyway, Mama disagrees! You must help Mamah persuade Nisa to break up with that badass!"
"Astaghfirullah's. Since when did Mamah become picky and see people of such status? Not good Mah, judging people only from material. Kan Mamah herself who often told Nevan the same Nisa first."
"But that's not it, Van. Ow hell! Mom is so dizzy! What do you have the heart, out of wedlock will your sister lunta and lack?! Mamah do not want yes Mamah children his life is miserable and lacking! You guys like college and charge expensive, continue to be quiet so there are guys want to apply but not any capital?!"
Diana pulled out her uneg-unegnya to completion. Nevan understands the feelings of her mother who does not want her child to suffer. But he also knew that this time Nisa's choice was not wrong. Jino is not a rich person but her heart is very rich for Nisa.
"Well, there's a provision set. Nevan is sure Nisa will be happy with Jino."
"You don't support Mamah, why talk about Mamah Mulu anyway?! No matter what, Mom doesn't give blessing to both of them!"
Calls closed.
