The match night arrived. Hana's family is getting ready. Mr. Darma is waiting for his Son and Wife in the living room while throwing a message with his iron candidate. Hana, who is danced by her mother, looks very beautiful and charming. Hana was wearing a gold colored dress, looking very elegant. With hair makeup in elongated braids, then in Gelung resembles a flower, then in flops with small leafy rose accessories. The front of her hair is cut off, leaving strands of hair on the sides of her left and right, adding charm to Hana. Whoever looks at her must be in love. Hana is like a princess in a fairy tale country in a movie.

"Perfect! You look very beautiful, dear" said Bu Darma praising his own son.

"Well, isn't this an exaggeration? Time has to be danced like this! Keep on, dress everything, it's just an ordinary meeting, Mah," Hana said as she looked at herself in the mirror.

"This meeting is very important, Cherry, you do not carelessly talk. Anyway you have to look very pretty tonight, so that your future husband is crazy about you,"

"Love is not just about the physical, Mah! But also about feelings," Hana replied upsetly.

"Ah, stop! Don't bother with this problem. If the family agrees, you'll be tied to each other with a ring. Then tomorrow morning you will get married" said Ms. Darma as she walked up to Hana's chin.

"What! That quick, Mah! I'm not ready like I am, afraid of me, Mah!" hana complained with a crying expression.

"Don't be afraid, baby, everything will be fine. Trust me the same Mama. After all, this tradition no one knows except our family and the family of your future husband. Your big wedding, will be done–in, if you have graduated school, and you both already love each other. If that happens, your status will be married siri. Anyway, you don't have to worry" said Bu Darma accompanied by a smile.

Hana can only obey her parents' orders. Hana prayed for everything to be given smoothness, if indeed this had been her destiny. Hana assures herself that everything will be fine.

"Mah! Are you ready for the ball? If you have, we leave now, said Papa already the problem," shouted Mr. Darma from behind the door.

"Papa wait in the car, yeah,"

"Yes, Pah ... Cherries, let's go! Bismillah, you can ... Mama assure you, you must like the same people. His son is very good, Cer ... very polite," explained Bu Darma back.

"Yes, Mah!" Answer Hana simply.

"Bismillah yes, Cherry, hopefully you are the same Leo will fit," said the father.

"Insya Alloh, Pah, hopefully this is the best for you, Cherry," replied Hana accompanied by a smile.

"Aamiiin," replied Cherry's parents compact.

"Yes Allaah, calm my heart, O Allah, may this be the best destiny that you are happy for me, O Allah ... Amen" said Hana in her heart.

"Hey, Wan! I'm right here!" Mr. Praja waved at Mr. Darma.

"Eh, yes!" Mr. Darma waved his hand as well.

"Let's go there, Mah, Ceri" said Mr. Darma.

Mr. Darmawan seemed happy to meet his business friends. They shake hands and embrace. While Bu Darma just shake hands and cipika cipiki with Bu Praja. Hana grew excited to see her future father-in-law. Cherries greet Pak Praja and Bu Praja.

"This is your son, Wan?" ask Mr. Praja.

"Masya Alloh, very beautiful yes, Pah," said Bu Praja accompanied by a smile.

"Let's sit down first" Mr. Praja invited us to sit down.

"That's a great deal your son, Miss Darma, is beautiful ... Masya Alloh," praised Bu Praja unceasingly looking at Hana's face.

"Okay, Ms. Praja continues to praise, thank you," continued Bu Darma representing Hana.

Hana smiled at Bu Praja's praise, moreover her two future in-laws kept looking at her, she became unpleasant.

"Oh yeah by the way, where's Leo, Ja! Koq didn't look!" ask Mr. Darma.

"Oh, earlier he departed from his own house, naek motor, a little late, Wan, sorry well!"

"Ahh, no papa koq. Oh, yeah, have you eaten some belom food?" ask Mr. Darma.

"Belom, we wait for you koq ... Well, there you go Leo, Leo! Here!" Mr. Praja stood up and called out to Leo.

Leo smiled from afar and started walking closer to table number five. Hannah did not dare to look back. She was waiting for her future husband to come and sit in front of her. Hana sighed a few times to calm herself down. Sweat started coming out of his forehead. He immediately wiped it by way of tap-tap.

"Yes, my soul, I want to faint," inwardly Hana.

Ms. Darma squeezed Hana's hand which seemed to shake. Hana looked at Mama with a tense face and shook her head. Ms. Darma reminds Hana to keep smiling, and calm, Ms. Darma also nods her head in a sign that Hana can do it. Hana then smiled and nodded along.

Leo then walked past Hana and sat in front of her. Hana slowly turned her face to look at the face of her future husband. And when their eyes met, the two of them were both shocked. In fact, the two of them both immediately stood up and were wide-eyed.

Cherries and Leo, aka, Hana and Hasan could say nothing but look at each other and gawk. They don't believe in all this. Is it just a coincidence? Or is it fate that brought the two of them together?

Their parents stood up to see Hana and Hasan's reaction.

"What's up, Cer?" ask Ms. Darma.

"Why, Leo?" ask Bu Praja.

"Do you know each other?" asked Pak Praja while playing his index finger towards Hana and Hasan alternately.

Hana and Hasan could not believe it. Then, Hana realized, "mah, I want to find the wind for a while, well," said Hana as she walked away from the room.

"Where are you going, Cherries, Cherries!" exclaims Ms. Darma.

"What the hell is it, Leo? You ..." Bu Praja's sentence was cut.

"Sorry Mah, Pah! Leo also wanted to go out for a while," Hasan then ran after Hana.

"Well, what's the matter with our kids!" tanya Bu Praja was worried.

"I don't know either, Mom, but apparently, they probably already know each other, Mom," said Ms. Darma.

"Yes, they probably already know. If you can tell, where's your son's school, Wan?" ask Mr. Praja.

"I went to school in TAMA, Ja. favorite SMK, he majored in Computer and Network Engineering" replied Mr. Darma.

"Gee, my son also went to school there, Wan. Take that major as well" replied Mr. Praja.

"You know, they already know it, yes" continued Bu Darma.

"It's possible, Mom. Why are they surprised if they know! You see, they must have known each other's names, and every day met," said Bu Praja.
