The next day Viren along with Alisha invites Rakan to meet. Vanilla was also at the meeting. The four met at a cafe near Rakan's office. Along the way to the cafe, Vanila continued to try to persuade her parents not to cancel the marriage.
Friends shorten meeting time with section heads. The rest of the work went to Refal and Renata. The man rushed to the cafe in his office. Just now the man arrived, a vehicle mounted Viren stopped in front of the cafe. The man approached Viren and Alisha and kissed the back of their hands.
“Newly arrived, Kan?” ask Viren.
“Iya, um. Come om.”
Friends first enter the cafe. He immediately headed for the table he had ordered. Since Vanila had only bowed her head, she did not dare to look at her future husband. Actually, Rakan was also confused and wondered why his future in-laws asked to meet ahead of his wedding day.
“What message do you want, om?”
“Later. We want to talk about it first.”
“What's the matter, om?”
Viren looked at his son first. Vanila shook her head slowly while showing her shoulder face. But Viren still insisted on talking to his future daughter-in-law. Alisha herself hoped Vanila would change her decision, but it turned out that her son was stubborn, just like her husband.
“On your wedding. Om think it's better to just postpone.”
“Hah? Why om?”
Of course, you are surprised to hear it. All preparations are done carefully. Clothes, decorations, food and even invitations were all done. Just spreading the invitation. Even for dowry this afternoon ready to be sent to Alea’s Boutique. Friend looked at Vanila, trying to figure out what really happened. But the girl was silent.
“Sorry, um. Why should it be postponed? Preparation is done all.”
“Om disagree with your plan to stay apart for one month after marriage.”
I heard the long breath of my friend. Let alone Viren, he also actually disagreed. But because it is the desire of his future wife, then Rakan inevitably follow him. Seeing Viren's reaction like this, Vanila must have received a strong rejection from her family last night. Just like her.
“Om knows that's Ila's wish. And you must also obey his ridiculous wishes. So it is better to postpone this marriage until Ila is ready to live it and not be childish anymore.”
“Papa.”
“Papa and mama never taught you to behave like that, Ila. You've seen how your mama's living the household with papa. When you marry your friend, he will be the person in charge of your life. You must obey him, follow him as long as you take him in kindness. You also have to do your duty as a wife. Nothing yet you have brought your husband into disrepute. Better not to get married. Because papa will also bear your sins!”
Vanila's head bowed at the long words of her papa. If Viren is in serious fashion, then the man can put out a lot of words. Friend continued to look at Vanila's face that looked sad. The girl's eyes were glazed. Unexpectedly his simple desire turned out to be long-tail like this.
“Is there no other solution, om? Does it have to be pushed back?”
“Just ask your stubborn wife-to-be.”
“Sorry before, um. I do not agree with Ila's proposal. But given our brief encounter, I tried to understand what she wanted. Ila just wants to feel like everyone else, dating in the sense that we still live apart. In Shaa Allah I sincerely if that is the desire of Ila.”
“Om know you're a good boy. You also love Ila, so you want to grant her wish. But as a parent, om can't do it.”
“Ehmm. What if the time is cut? The time Ila asked for one month, how about we cut the time so it is not that long.”
“You're sure, right? Are you okay if this child asks to stay apart for a while?” this time Alisha made a sound.
The woman did not approve of Vanilla's proposal. But he also did not want to cancel the wedding. Alisha already likes her friend. He was afraid that if the cancellation happened and Friend changed his mind, then the marriage between Friend and Vanilla would never happen.
“As I said. In Shaa Allah I am sincere. Now it's just Ila aja, do you want to cut the time. If not, I leave all the decisions to om and aunt only.”
All eyes were on Vanilla. The girl still hasn't said anything. Actually he had planned many things during his stay apart from Rakan. If the time is cut, then there are some things that can not be done by him. After thinking for a moment, the girl raised her head.
“I agree, pa. Time to trim, so two weeks.”
“3 days!” answer Viren.
“Papa... too fast if three days. Two weeks, pa.”
“3 days or wedding off!”
Friend continued to look at Vanila's face, the girl was still very stubborn apparently. To be honest, he was very upset with his future wife. But again, their age difference is quite far make it have to be more patient.
“Ila, I know there must have been a lot of things you planned for a month that you asked for. But we can still do that even though we live together. But if you insist, sorry, I will follow your father's wishes. We can cancel this wedding.”
“Two weeks yes, pa. Can yes.”
Alisha's head suddenly felt dizzy, both her husband and her son were equally unmoved by their respective desires. Seeing this, there is no other choice for friends. The man took the phone out of his pocket. He immediately contacted Rain.
“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam. Mama, I'm interrupting, aren't you?”
“Ngga, darling. What's up?”
Vanila's head immediately turned to Friend. It looks like her future husband will follow her father's wishes to annul the marriage. The girl's heart grew increasingly. He thought Friend would be on his side, but it turns out he was following Viren's wishes instead.
“Sorry, mom. Sorry before if I made my mom bother. But. it looks like I have to cancel the wedding.”
Not only Vanila but Rain across there was also shocked to hear his nephew's remark. Preparations are almost complete and now suddenly Rakan asks to be canceled.
“Why? What's wrong with you guys?” tanya Rain was confused.
“Sorry mom, later I will tell mom. But can you stop all the preparation process?”
“But Friends..”.
Rain's voice was no longer heard, Vanila suddenly grabbed the phone from Friend and turned it off.
“I agree, pa. Three days aja,” replied Vanila slowly. The look on the girl's face showed disappointment.
“If you feel forced it is better not to. I love you, La. But I also don't want to force this marriage. If indeed you are not ready and are not comfortable living with you before the time you ask, we just cancel this marriage. Can I ask for my hape back? I have to contact mama Rain again.”
A faint smile was imprinted on Viren's face. He likes to see the firmness of friends. The man can be patient, gentle and also firm with his child. Viren is convinced that Rakan will be a good priest for him. Love does not make him a stupid man who will continue to follow the wishes of his woman.
“Sorry, bang. I've been childish. I'm not uncomfortable, I just want to make my wish come true. But I didn't expect it to be like this. I'll follow what papa says. We'll stay apart for three days. After that I'll follow where my brother took me.”
“You sure?” ask Viren.
“Yakin, pa.”
“Alright then. Only three days you stay apart. After that you will have to atone for your sins to your husband later after you stay together.”
Alisha smiled with relief hearing her son and husband agree. Seeing what Friend had done earlier, he grew more confident in the man. Alisha is grateful her eldest son can get a man like Rakan.
“Now how about we eat?” bargain Friends who are only possessed by others.
Friend's hand is raised to call the waiter. At the same time, his phone rang. Mama Rain's name was on the screen. The woman was curious because her conversation with Friend had been interrupted.
“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam. Friend...why did the phone die earlier? You're kidding right?”
“Iya, mom. Sorry I was just kidding.”
“You're not funny. Almost your mom called your mom. Yes, already then. Later in the afternoon Tama will deliver the invitation to your home as well as the house of Ila.”
“Iya, mom. Thank you, ma. Love you.”
“Love you too, baby. Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam.”
My friend ended his call immediately. She waited for Vanila and her future in-laws to order food, only then did she. Secretly the man looked at Vanila with a smile. It turned out that the right way his in-laws managed to make his stubborn wife-to-be could give up as well. At least he can cut time 27 days stay separated from his wife later.

A black sedan stopped in front of the hospital lobby. From inside out Juna. The man came to Ibn Sina's hospital to meet with Reyhan. As Vanilla's grandfather, he wanted to apologize for his grandson's childish attitude. The man immediately entered the building and headed straight for the third floor. Before leaving, he first contacted Reyhan.
Just as the man was about to get into the elevator, Reyhan appeared to walk over to him. The man kissed the back of Juna's hand. Lovingly Juna hugged the man while patting his back gently.
“You deliberately waited for om here?” ask Juna.
“Iya, um. It's inappropriate that I wait in the room. I have to welcome you. Consider it a child's welcome to his parents.”
A smile rose on Juna's face. The man really admired Reyhan's polite demeanor and knew how to treat the old man well. Together with Juna, Reyhan enters the elevator. Several young doctors who were in the elevator greeted the senior doctor. Juna only noticed Reyhan being friendly to his juniors.
“Om want to meet me or would you like to check?”
“Om just wanted to meet you. Last week I checked up. Thank goodness healthy.”
“Alhamdulillah, keep healthy yes, om.”
Elevator door opens. Reyhan lets Juna out first. The man then follows from behind and guides Juna to his study. Juna's eyes looked at Reyhan's spacious work space. Reyhan asks Juna to sit on the sofa.
“You drink what, om?”
Reyhan just nodded his head. Seeing Juna's gurgle, it seemed like the man was about to talk about the matter of Rakan and Vanila. Reyhan immediately sat himself down in front of Juna.
“Actually the purpose of om is here to talk about Ila. That kid doesn't know what to talk about. As Ila's grandfather, I'm apologizing to you, Ayunda and Rakan. The boy was young, so his mindset was still childish.”
“Ngga nothing, om. My friend also agreed with Ila's proposal. As a parent, I just support and pray for you. I'm sure Rakan decided that too after careful consideration.”
“Yes, I heard that you agreed. Still I feel bad. But I heard from Viren that they had agreed to the time change. So only three days they stay apart.”
“Alhamdulillah then, om.”
“Please understand, Rey. Vanilla has never been together. He heard he was close to a man but not for long. They only met on campus. Never gone out alone let alone brought to the house.”
“Ngga nothing, om. The important thing is that their problem is done.”
Juna nodded his head. Fortunately, Viren can handle everything well. Of course there is the role of Friends also behind it.
“Oh yes, he said Geya interns here.”
“Iya, um. He's an intern at the public relations department. Want to meet Geya?”
“Bby?”
“Bby, om. Want me to drop off?”
“If you are not busy.”
“Ngga, um. Geya's office is on the ground floor. Come on, um, I'll take.”
Both men got up from their seats. They left the room and headed back to the elevator. Juna was very curious about one of his grandchildren whose behavior resembled that of the daddy. I don't know what the boy did at his internship. Arriving on the ground floor, Reyhan immediately took Juna to Geya's office.
“Doctor Reyhan,” greet Tiwi.
“Geyya is there?”
“There, doc. Doctor wants to see a potential ghost huh?” tiwi asked as she threw a smile.
Both Reyhan and Juna were shocked to hear that. The reflexes of the two looked at each other and threw a smile. As expected, it turns out Geya did make a tantrum in her internship place. It could be that the child claimed to be the future wife of Daffa at her internship place.
“Grandpa.”
Geya is shocked when she exits the room and sees Juna and Reyhan in the division office. He approached Juna and kissed the back of his hand. The girl did the same thing to Reyhan.
“How do you work here?”
“Alhamdulillah smoothly, grandpa. What's the Grandpa doing here? Don't-don't grandpa hurts.”
Geya flipped through Juna's body and saw his face. He wanted to know if the grandpa was not in good condition of his body. Juna just chuckled at the behavior of Abi's granddaughter.
“Grandpa is fine. Grandpa came here just wanted to meet your future father-in-law.”
Blushing Geya's face to hear Juna's words. Especially when she saw Reyhan looking at her with a smile. His self-proclaimed behavior as a Daffa candidate in his division works caught by Reyhan.
“Om, if I stay nothing? There's a duty call.”
“Ngga. Thank you, Rey.”
“Same-sama, um. Ge. papa go first yes.”
It felt like Geya was screaming loudly hearing Reyhan calling himself papa for her. The girl was just mesam-mesem alone while looking at Reyhan who came out of his room working.
“Bu Tiwi, I can briefly permit?” Geya looked at Tiwi.
“Bby. But don't be long, yes.”
Geya just lifted her thumb. The girl hugged Juna's arm and took him out of the room. She was happy that Juna visited her in the hospital. Geya takes Juna to the IGD. Ansel who was at the IGD was happy to see Geya coming to his place of work. The man quickly came to Geya.
“Rania,” call Ansel.
Juna's forehead frowned to hear the young doctor in front of her calling her granddaughter Rania. He looked at Geya, but the girl looked completely indifferent.
“This who?” ask Ansel again.
“This grandpa.”
“Halo grandpa, introduce me Ansel,” Ansel reached out his hand to Juna and instantly replied the man.
“Granpa to check? Let me help.”
“Ngga. Grandpa wants to see another doctor.”
“Who?”
“Kepo. Come grandpa.”
Without caring for Ansel, Geya invites Juna to one of the empty blankars. The girl asks Juna to go up on the blankar.
“Ngapain we're here, Ge? Grandpa doesn't hurt.”
“Ssttt. grandpa silent. Ok,” Geya blinked her eyes.
Arsy who passed in front of the blankar that Juna was surprised to see the grandpa in IGD. In a hurry he approached the older brother of his grandfather.
“Grandpa hurts?” ask Arsay suddenly.
“Ish.. Brother did this, there came out,” Geya pushed Arsy's body out of the examination room.
“Ge.. grandpa pain what?”
“Malarindu.”
“Hah?”
From the direction of the hospital came Daffa. The resident doctor had just finished examining the patient operated on by him. Geya rushed over to the man. A smile was flashed at Daffa.
“Bang.. please check grandpa.”
“Grandpa? Why the same grandpa?”
Without answering Daffa's question, Geya immediately pulled Daffa's hand towards the blankar where Juna was. They just crossed Arsy. Seeing that, Arsy just understood that his cousin was only using Juna as his mode.
“Basic pinworms. Working mode,” murmured Arsy slowly. The woman went to the nurse's desk.
Juna who was about to get off the blankar paused his intention as soon as Geya and Daffa approached him. The man understood what Geya meant by taking her to the IGD. Kenan's mode was completely downhill on his daughter.
“Grandpa hurts what?” ask Daffa. The man was about to examine Juna with his stethoscope.
“Head grandpa giddy.”
“Pusing in which part, grandpa?”
“Pusing thought of this magical granddaughter of grandpas. Could have been dragged here. Basic mode.”
“Grandpa.”
Daffa gave a small laugh hearing Juna's words. He looked at Geya who was being rattled at him.
“Sorry grandpa, if that dizziness, I don't have the cure.”
“Emang has no cure. The cure is just one.”
“What is grandpa?” asked Geya with sparkling eyes.
“Dinikahin same monkey.”
“Hahaha..”.
Daffa's laughter just came off. Geya pressed her lips a few inches. He was confused by his five grandfathers until now there had been no movement to match him with Daffa. He had to work hard by himself brainwashing how to make Daffa subjugated to him.
