Granny Widuri
"Who are you so neat like this Natt, where are you going?" exclaim mama Indri who is serving breakfast menu for them this morning with the help of Anggia.
"Work ma, what else?" Nattan said, had a quick glance at his wife who looked down.
"CK, you're Natt, last night I told you to take Anggia to KUA before that you also have to meet her grandmother first, you asked for her blessing."
Nattan sighed tiredly with both hands resting on the table, then dropped his body on one of the chairs located on the side of the dining table.
"Okay, Nattan will do whatever you want" he continued after a moment of silence.
It's over, he thought.
With or without to KUA, now the status has become the husband of Anggia, after all in his life if there must be a marriage Nattan does not want to do it many times enough once in his life.
"Ayok Anggi breakfast first son." with great enthusiasm mama Indri prepare breakfast for his son-in-law is different from his son Nattan who took his own food.
Several times he clucked with the attitude of the mother who loved his son-in-law more than his own son.
"Later mama will also come with you two to meet Grandma Anggia."
"Why come, ma! mama at home just rest, after all for what the hell to go with everything?"
"Why do you think?"
"Listen Nat, when it comes to ginian mama doesn't believe in you, so to make sure everything, mama has to come along."
"It's up to mom."
"It should be so."
A few minutes passed, there was no more debate between the three until their food was left alone.
This morning there were only three of them, because at four in the morning Papa Rendra had left the city and would stay there for several days.

"This is Anggia ma's house, sorry maybe this looks unworthy when compared to mama's house." said Anggia as soon as they arrived in front of a house that is quite simple and small which is in the middle of the dense house of other residents.
Anggia house is very different when compared to others, although it looks neat and clean but it cannot be said that the house is sturdy and new.
Seen from the old orange paint walled part of the wall that has almost completely peeled off, some of the frames in the window there are a lot of termites that build nests there, there, likewise, the chair made of rattan that was hacked into his house looks very weathered and worn.
Mama Indri smiled gently, then clasped Anggia's hand and said that she had no problem with it at all.
"That's not a problem baby, let's go see your grandmother now."
Anggia, according to him, slowly raised his hand to knock on the door in front of him several times, and soon the old woman who was wearing a old kebaya top with a subordinate brown batik sarong poked out along with her open door.
"Where is Anggia, grandma is so worried, grandma is waiting for you since last night" said the grandmother rubbed her head very gently.
"Oh, who are they, son,?" glancing at Mama Indri and Nattan alternately, when realizing there was not only Anggia there.
Anggia looks wrong behavior, then invite both to enter and are welcome to sit on a weathered sofa in the guest room.
After making drinks for her in-laws and husband, she joined them in sitting with her face down.
"Mom, euhm grandma, my arrival here I want to introduce myself personally to grandma, as someone who is the only Anggia family."
"Include my name Indri, and this is my son named Nattan" explained mama Indri while holding her son's hand.
"I represent my son wants to propose to his granddaughter to be his wife." continued mama Indri to the point.
The deg!
"Will my grandmother allow me to have my son and granddaughter married?"
"I_" the old woman who was often greeted by Widuri's grandmother fell silent, turning to look at her grandson's face that looked stiff.
"Why did something suddenly happen?" ask Grandma Widuri against Anggia, because she never knew if her granddaughter was related to adult men like men who are currently sitting opposite her.
Because what Widuri's grandmother knew all this time her grandson was dating Rafka who was a classmate from since Anggia Junior High.
"Look, last night my grandmother and son's grandchildren were caught by the middle of the house together, and to avoid slander they were both forced to marry" explained Mama Indri carefully, he was talking to someone older than him.
Grandma Widuri seemed to tremble, turning back to look at Anggia looking at her heartily.
"Anggia, is that right, son, what are you doing?" his tone was still the same as before, soft and slow, yet this time it sounded resolute.
"Sorry Anggia Grandma, everything is wrong Anggia, if that night Anggia did not insist to go to the Pharmacy surely the story will not be like this."
"Anggia apologizes Grandma, Anggia has failed grandma, Anggia has made grandma embarrassed."
Grandma Widuri sobbed hugging her only grandchild very tightly, for some reason at this time she could not be angry, especially because all this time she had never had the heart to scold her only grandchild.
After a long time of crying, Widuri's grandmother finally gave the whole decision to Anggia herself who will live her life.
And that afternoon, Anggia and Nattan came to KUA to officially register their marriage, accompanied by Gilang and Kiano, who were his older brother and nephew.
While Mama Indri accompanied Widuri's grandmother to check her health which suddenly deteriorated.
