It has been a month since the meeting of the parents' plans but Pram has not contacted Atikah.

IB This Sunday Pram chose to go home, but not Saturday but Sunday morning. Pram slept in the barracks because he still had unfinished work. Pram has arrived at his house and is sleeping in his room.

Tok.dok....

"Pram! What else, son? Can you come in?" call mom from outside Pram's room.

"Yes ma'am, please do not lock Pram's door." reply Pram from inside the room.

Mom came in and sat on the edge of Pram's bed, rubbing his son's back.

"What's wrong mom?" tanya Pram woke up from her sleep and sat down beside her mother.

"It's okay, son, I just want to ask. How's your wedding preparation? Time is passing, it's already April son." mother asked for wedding preparations that have not been taken care of at all.

"Sorry Mom, Pram hasn't contacted Atikah yet. Pram confused mom want to contact him how? Later the effect Pram who made him want to marry Pram again." replied Pram staring far ahead.

"Son, hurry and meet Atikah if you need to now. You must gantle Pram. Cook the hell ngajak women who are well married still use think?" mother's advice.

"Now Ma'am?" tanya Pram does not believe if today also asked to meet his future wife.

"Yes, when else? Quickly there you go to the house he mumpung still daylight." ordered his mother.

"But ma'am? Pram is ashamed." Pram whines like a child to his mother.

"You said Pram used to date no shame. Now ngajak nikah even embarrassed." Pram's mother even brought up Pram's past that made him embarrassed himself.

"All right, Mom, call someone who knows Atikah is busy" Pram finally relented.

"He's calling right now in front of mom." her mother ordered.

Pram immediately took the HP that was placed on the table beside his bed.

He looked for Atikah's contact and immediately pressed the phone's picture button.

The call is connected and before how long the owner of the number is appointed.

"Hallo assalamualaikum." said Atikah across the street.

"Waalaikumusalam, Atikah." Reply Pram.

"Yes Mas, what's wrong with the phone." asked Atikah Pram meant to call him.

"Aren't you busy today? I'm going to Atikah's house to prepare our files later, okay?" terang Pram means to call.

"Oh, no Mas, I'm a rat at home. When are you coming here?" atikah asked friendly beyond the expectations of Pram.

"Now to depart from Dek's father's house, maybe another hour will come." replied Pram with a smile on his lips.

"Oh, yes Mas, Rat wait. Be careful on the road." replied Atikah.

"Yes Dek, thank you assalamualaikum." closed Pram.

"Waalaikumusalam." the connection disconnected.

Pram smiled at his mother.

"Thank you Mom, pray for your son to get the best mate" Pram said looking at his mother.

"Always son, get ready. Wear a neat Pram's shirt." ordered his mother.

Pram changed his clothes with a neat casual dress. Actually Pram is already handsome, want to wear any clothes yes still handsome.

Pram farewell to his mother and father who were on the terrace.

"Sir, Ma'am, Pram's leaving first." Pram greets both his parents.

"He was careful, greetings to Atikah" replied his father.

"Assynoltom..." Pram took out his motor.

Pram has put his motorcycle away from home to Atikah's house. There was a sense of uneasiness that enveloped his heart.

Pram has arrived at the Atikah complex, he stopped for a moment to catch his breath and arrange his heart. Then put the bike back to the house in blue sky.

Pram opened the gate of the house that was not in the key, parked his motorbike and stepped into the tiny house.

Tok.tok...

"Assalamualaikum.." said Pram greeting residents of the house.

A few seconds of silence, no answer.

"Assalamualaikum.." he said back.

"Vaalaikumusalam... Yes for a moment." replied Atikah's voice from inside.

"Sorry, it's been a long time? Come on in." take Atikah

"Here's the Deck, there's no one at home." Pram was already sitting on the front porch.

"Oh yes, Tikah get you a drink first. What do you want to drink?" ask Atikah.

"White water, thanks to Dek." replied Pram.

"Yes, just a minute." Atikah goes into the house to take a drink and a snack for Pram.

Atikah had brought back two bottles of cold mineral water and two jars of snacks.

"Be drunk first, must be thirsty for long trips" Atikah said as he placed bottles and jars on a small table.

"Still Deck," Pram smiled.

Atikah immediately turned her eyes away in embarrassment. He sat in the front seat of Pram.

"Dep's drinking?" Atikah just nodded, Pram opened one bottle and drank the contents up to almost half.

"Alhamdulillah, fresh." slowly murmured.

Atikah was still in his seat, as was Pram.

"Are you sure you're ready for this wedding?" ask Pram without further ado.

"What do you think?" Atikah asked back.

"Mas likes Adek." That's all that comes out of Pram's mouth. Makes Atikah stunned.

Atikah misbehaved, Pram continued again "If Adek does not have someone who Adek likes let's get married. Insha Allah hopefully mas can be a good husband for Adek." either can power from where Pram can say the sentence. Pram himself had never composed those words before, but after seeing Atikah today his heart slammed.

"Atikah do not have a girlfriend Mas, so mamah same papah keukeuh want Tikah married. If Mas Pram is sure Atikah is coming, hopefully Atikah can be the wife that Pram expects." replied Atikah slowly while bowed.

"Thank you Dek, I'm sure this mother's choice is the best woman." Pram's smile was sincere.

"We start preparing the file yes, tomorrow mas start facing for marriage submission. While Adek prepare the same deed last diploma Adek first." Prams explained.

"Yes, I'll get the rats ready." Atikah.

Although still awkward they finally chatted too.

"One thing that Adek must know, although the salary of mas is not much, especially compared to Adek's salary, but starting from the preparation until later when it has become the wife of many demands. Is Adek ready?" tanya Pram reassured me.

"God willing," Atikah smiled sincerely.

"Mas certainly will not make Adek in trouble, but there are some things that mas also can not control. At least later after marriage, in addition to busy working Adek must take care of the house and still participate in Persit activities. Mas not scare Adek, Mas would help but Mas please do everything with pleasure so that Adek will not be burdened. Hopefully Adek understands the situation Mas huh?" Pram has explained a little about what Atikah will go through later.

Atikah listened to Pram seriously.

"God willing, we pass together. The rats have been finding out a little about the wives of the soldiers. Although very different from a regular wife, hopefully Tikah can yes." replied Atikah with a gentle smile.

Pram was surprised not to think that Atikah until it had found out, at least it had convinced him that Atikah really wanted to be his wife.
