A week later, at the residence of Bima Negara in Solo, Central Java held a meeting of two families, namely the State family and Atmaja. Of course what will be discussed now is the matchmaking plan between Satria and Karina. Presumably Rama Bima really wanted to establish a family with a family that he had known for a long time.
More than that, Karina is also considered very Rama as the right figure to accompany Satria. Girl from a nice, modern family, and a graduate from the Netherlands. In the eyes of the Rama as if Karina had no blemish.
"Mas, you better consider it. Satria does not love Karina. This marriage will not work" Galuh told her husband.
As a mother, Bu Galuh knew very well that the only woman Satria loved was Indi. In silence, occasionally Bu Galuh knew Satria prostrated on the prayer mat. His hands looked up, the young man actually prostrated himself and humbled himself before God. To the extent that Satria asked is the way so that he and Indi can unite. In addition, Satria worked harder. He wanted to prove to his Rama, that he could work really well.
"Don't interfere. Only Karina is worthy of Satria" replied Bu Galuh.
"Let our marriage alone intertwine without love, but do not let Satria also experience it. There is nothing more beautiful than spending a very long time together with the people we love."
Ma'am Galuh just glanced at himself. All this time the marriage that he experienced and lived there was no affection. Like a flower, it is not as fragrant and fragrant. Some of the petals are dull too. However, the roots that are still embedded in the soil are not removed, making the flower does not show its most beautiful charm.
Bu Galuh does not want Satria or Sitha will spend life in a marriage without love full of tears. There are those who are troubled. The children born also do not see the harmony of their parents. Just seeing things mere formality.
"You need not teach me, I am the Rama of Satria. I really know what I have to do for my son."
On the other hand, Rama Bima still hardened his heart. He did not receive any input from his wife. He said that he knew Satria very well.
"You better prepare drinks and snacks, the Atmaja Family will arrive soon," said Rama Bima now.
Finally, Ma'am Galuh headed to the kitchen. With a heavy heart, he brewed tea and made snacks. When the waiter was at his house, Bu Galuh attempted to manage his emotions. Keep smiling, even if his heart is hurt.
Until finally the Atmaja family came and Rama Bima and Ibu Galuh welcomed the arrival of the Atmaja family.
"Come, come .. please come in," said Rama Bima who put on a face of sumringah, full of smiles.
"Have not met for a long time. You are still young" replied Mr. Atmaja.
"Thanks to traditional herbal ingredients, which successfully make you young," replied Rama Bima with an amused chuckle.
"Let's go in, please" said Mrs Galuh.
Finally the entire Atmaja family sat in the living room. Atmaja Atmaja Surya Diharja is a widower with two children, the first is Karina, and the second is Karan who is now in the Netherlands. His wife Soraya Atmaja passed away a few years ago. Since the departure of his wife, Atmaja himself raised Karina and Karan alone.
"If Karina has met, then which Karan?" ask Rama Bima.
"Karan is in Holland. He is still studying business there," replied Mr. Atmaja.
"Unbelievable, all your children are overseas graduates. The child who can raise the degree of parents well," replied Rama Bima.
"Yes, that's it, Bim .. Hopefully later Karina and Karan can uphold his father's name. Although, in fact Karina and Karan have started to think openly no longer confined to customs and traditions. Different from you and the family who still maintain the pakem and tradition well?" ask Mr. Atmaja.
Rama Bima nodded his head. "Should this culture if we didn't preserve it who else?" ask Rama Bima.
Both giggle. While Bu Galuh began to serve jasmine tea concoction that he had brewed by serving various traditional snacks such as Solo Sausage, Naga Sari, and Talam Cake. A variety of suitable snacks accompany tea.
"Where are the knights, Rama?" ask Karina later.
"New to the front Mushola," replied Rama Bima.
Karina nodded her head. While Mr. Atmaja continued to respond by nodding his head. It is rare for men to pray. Meanwhile, Satria was praying at the Mushola family not far from his home.
Fifteen minutes later, Satria arrived. The young man was also shocked to see the Atmaja family coming there. Until Rama Bima called Satria and invited him to join
"Here, Sat ...."
"What's up, Rama?" tanyakanya.
"Give greetings first, this is Karina's father, Mr. Atmaja," Rama said.
Finally Satria shook hands and gave her greetings. After that, he sat there. As a child, Satria only listened to the talk of Rama and Pak Atmaja who were more domineering.
"We've been friends for a long time. I have known each other for a long time. Given that Satria and Karina are both big now, how about we match them both," said Rama Bima.
"A good idea. It is appropriate that our friendship turns into a family. Karina will be a good wife to Satria" replied Mr. Atmaja.
"Karina did not refuse. Karina had known Satria for a long time. Accompanying Satria is not a bad choice," he replied.
While the full face of objection was shown Bu Galuh and Satria. The mother and son both agreed, disagreeing in their hearts with this matchmaking. It will not bring happiness in the end.
"Satria sakep that, so surely he is not a bad choice dong," replied Mr. Atmaja.
"Yes, yes, Dad. I know too," Karina replied.
On one side Satria started to open her mouth to speak. Because, he did not want to be betrothed to anyone, including Karina. His heart already had another choice and that was Indi.
"Sorry ... Satria can't," she replied.
Instantly the views of Rama Bima, Pak Atmaja, and Karina themselves were diverted to Satria. Rama Bima has been holding back emotions, lest his son talk miscellaneous.
"Leave it, Satria. He is indeed a new spirit of work," replied Rama Bima.
"Correct?" ask Karina.
"Yes, let it go. Satria is so. He will certainly agree," replied Rama Bima.
It was as if Rama was about to force his will. Let Satria have no room to talk, which surely Rama Bima will force Satria to accept this matchmaking. With or without Satria's willingness, this match will continue.
