Episode 29



Atikah's parents visited Pram's father and mother to plan Pram and Atikah's matchmaking.


They can not wait, Atikah is considered to be quite mature age while the father and mother Pram are impatient to wait again because of their age which has been spelled out as old, want to see Pram has a partner immediately and give him a grandchild.


Eventually both parties agreed that their marriage would be held at the end of the year, there was still ten months to take care of the office marriage and other preparations.


A week after the meeting, the two families agreed to bring Pram and Atikah to meet. After the appointment of time and place they invite each child to go to the restaurant they have booked in advance.

"Now... Today there is arisan with my friends. You come with ya! Because everyone brought their family. So mama also wants to bring papah and you to know them." Mamah Atikah said upon entering Atikah's room.


"Huh now mah? Why so suddenly?" Ask Atikah in shock.


"Why indeed? Not that you don't have a boyfriend either. Where are you going these weeks?" Ask Mamah Atikah while teasing her daughter.


"Hemmm" Atikah pouted when spelled singles.


Yes I am single but I can't keep the feeling of this child. Atikah Guman.


"Yes, don't nag yourself, you take a shower and get ready and beautiful because these mama friends are all respected." Order Atikah's mommy while leaving her daughter's room.


What the fuck is this mama. Still muttering to himself while carrying a towel to the bathroom.

Pram's mother called her son by phone because Pram had said he didn't come home this week. Pram said there was a recording last night, so there was no activity during the day. Thought mother.


"Assalamualaikum, ma'am what's wrong? Tumben phone." Answer Pram across the phone.


"Pram today my father and I want to have lunch together at the usual restaurant Lesehan your brother lo. You go there yeah. I miss eating there together." His mother lied to Pram.


"Tumben ma'am, usually the hardest mom to eat out. The food is not as good as the mother's cooking." she said." Pram was surprised because his mother was most difficult to eat out if not forced by her grandchildren.


"Ga anything Pram. I'm just kangen the mother's grandchildren who know the kangen is cured." Answer mom relax.


"Yes mom will be there. Let me know that mom's gone." Answer Pram


"Yes, son, I hung up, assalamualaikum."


"Waalaikumusalam" phone turned off.


Sorry mom, I just want you to get married. The mother's mind hugged her HP.

Because they're going to have lunch so eleven o'clock all ready. They planned the Dzuhur prayer in the restaurant so that the time is not wasted and eat on time.


Pram's mother and father had come by taxi online. They sit in the mosque first while waiting for prayer time.


Pram is also on his way to the restaurant. He came because for him his mother's request to eat out was something that was rare and he had to follow, when else his mother whose cuisine was better than any restaurant would eat out.


Atikah along with mamah and papah is also on the way. Atikah is still pouting because he is lazy to participate in the event arisan mamahnya.


"Married, smile dong. From there on on on." Papa.


"Well if Sunday is preferable to read books in the pah room, males know to meet with mothers who are certainly crumpled. The questions will be all the same. Why aren't you married? Not sold yet? I want to be in the same match bla bla bla. Until I memorized Tikah pah." Atikah answered Nerocoh at length with her tiny lips mimicking the style of mothers.


Mamah and Papah Atikah laughed at the babbling of his son. Indeed that is what mothers usually say to their children, but they do not respond to the babbling of their children.


They had reached the restaurant and went straight to the mosque as well because they had not prayed before. Pram's mother and father had entered the restaurant because they had finished praying.


After the completion of the prayer mamah and papah took Atikah to the place they had ordered.


"Sleeping, mah? He said arisan is usually a real race." Ask Atikah. Not visible to the crowd so that he was surprised, he did not suspect at all that his mother and father had a disguised intention to bring him here.


Pram, his mother and father had sat down sweet lesehan while enjoying a drink that had been prepared by the waiter.


Atikah who saw there Pram was shocked and immediately understood the intentions of his parents.


"Why is there Pram? Don't tell me the arisannya only with his family?" Atikah began to suspect.


Mom and Dad just smiled. Didn't answer Atikah's question. They immediately greeted Pram's family who Pram was no less surprised by Atikah.


They shake hands and ask the news as if a long time did not meet even though these parents are always connected by phone every day.


They sat in a circle at one table and the servants had already taken out all their orders.


The parents were busy chatting but Atikah and Pram just kept quiet. They were busy with their own thoughts and assumptions.
