As usual, Bram was getting ready to go to the office. Then he went down the stairs to the ground floor to have breakfast with his family

"For mah, pah" he said while sitting on his dining table chair

"Dear dear." answered Ani's mother while preparing breakfast

in the middle of their breakfast Mr. Ardi told an answer that made Bram surprised "Bram papah has told Hanna and tomorrow we will meet him" said Mr. Ardi while chewing his breakfast

Bram who heard him shocked and stopped his breakfast "Kok cepet really pah?" ask her with a shocked face

"The sooner the better and anyway tomorrow you take a day off to meet Hanna" replied Mr. Ardi while eating his breakfast

°°°°°°°

After arriving at Bram's office directly to his room to do his work activities

While at work there was a knock on the door that stopped her work "Dad in!" he said it out loud

Then a beautiful and fashionable woman came into Bram's room, none other than Linda, Bram's secretary "Sorry sir I'm disturbing" said Linda who walked over to Bram's desk

"No, what's up?" Bram asked who stopped his fingers typing something on his laptop

"This sir has a file from Mr. Santos about our business agreement" he said while giving a map to Bram

Then Bram checked it and read it "Ok I'll learn later after that I'll call you" he said while looking at the map in his hand

"I'm sorry first" he said as he went to Bram's door

°°°°°°

"What?! So you were betrothed to you and you accepted it?" said Rina with a toned tone and a shocked face

"Darling you calm down well, I can't refuse this because if I refuse papah threatening me" he replied while calming Rina

"What did you think you were doing?" ask her with an annoyed face

"He will revoke my facility that I am currently using and Papah will not regard me as his son anymore" he replied by turning his face away from Rina's presence "But I promise even though I am married I will still love and love you" she said by holding Lina's hand gently

"Are you going to love me?" ask her with a face

"Dad I promise." she replied, giving her little finger and smiling

°°°°°°

In the evening Bram had just returned from his office at exactly 19:15 and reached home at 20:05 when Bram wanted to get into his room but his steps were stopped by a call from Ani's mother

"Bram's home?" said Ani ma'am who stopped Bram from going up the stairs

Bram immediately turned his head and approached Ani's mother and kissed Ani's hand "Daddy mah today was quite busy so he came home a bit late" said Bram

"You have rest and prepare yourself because tomorrow at 08.00 am we go to east Java to meet with Hanna" said Bu Ani by staring at Bram's face

"Dad" he answered with a lethargic face

"Have you eaten?"

"Then before you go home."

"Jaudah if you go into the room to rest and clean your body" he said while stroking Bram's shoulder

Bram just nodded and went straight up the stairs to his room

Arriving in her room Bram looks frustrated and upset because she feels guilty for her lover for agreeing to this match without thinking about Rina's feelings

"What is the decision of the cave to accept this match? What about Rina?" he asked himself while rubbing his face with annoyance "Arghhh why should the cave in this position?"

°°°°°°

The next day Bram, Mr. Ardi, and Mr. Ani arrived at a pesantren in the east of Java

The three of them also came down from a luxury car owned by Mr. Ardi who had been buried in the parking lot of the pesantren

"Why are we here?" Bram asked with a confused face

"Dad because Hanna lived in this school since her parents died" said Mr. Ardi with his body facing Bram

The three of them entered the pesantren and met the owner of the pesantren

"Assalamu'alaikum pak haji" said Mr. Ardi while shaking hands with the owner of the pesantren

"Waalaikum'sallam allhamdulillah finally the guest we are waiting for has arrived" he replied while replying to the greeting from Mr. Ardi

"Allhamdulillah it's a good thing that the road was jammed not too bad, so we're not too long on the road."

"Allhamdulillah if so, let's sit down" he said while giving a special guest sofa to Mr. Ardi, Ms. Ani, and Bram

"Oiyah sir Haji this meet my wife name Aminah call Ani and this is my son Bram. My arrival with family came here to introduce my son with Hanna, according to what I have told the Hajj sir by phone a few days ago" said Mr. Ardi to the owner of the pesantren

"So the arrival of Mr. Ardi and his family to discuss the match between Bram and Hanna according to what the father talked about on the phone" he replied while facing the body of Mr. Ardi

"Father sir so I want to fulfill my promise to my late friend, the father of Hanna, Mr. Azis."

"I've called my wife to call Hanna to come here."

Then Haji Gofur went to see his wife so that she could call Hanna to meet the Bram family

After finishing calling, Gofur came with his wife and Hanna who walked beside him

"Sir Ardi here I have called Hanna and my wife" he said while sitting on the sofa available for him

Then Mr. Ardi, Bram, and Ms. Ani stood up to introduce themselves to the wife of ustad Gofur and Hanna. After shaking hands, the three of them sat back down at their respective places

"So gini umi Pak Bram and his family want to fulfill his promise to his deceased friend, the parents of Hanna" he said while telling the wife

"Hmm if I can know how it happened so that Mr. Ardi made a promise to his late parents Hanna?" tanyanya aqila

Flashbacks

"Allhamdulillah well Zis our business has advanced and is now crowded with buyers" said Mr. Ardi with a happy face

"Daddy In fact what the cave says and you believe if the cave can cook?" answer with laughter

"Yes-iyah the cave believe now sorry well if the cave sepet do not believe in you."

"Dad gapapa. Oiyah how are your son and wife?"

"Allhamdulillah Bram is fine and Ani is also good" he said with a smile

"Allhamdulillah if that's the cave seneng denger."

"Where are your children and your wife? I haven't seen your wife's son in a long time."

"Allhamdullilah they are good too. How about we make a deal?" he said with a serious face

"A pact?" Ask Mr. Ardi with a confused face

"The cave boy wants a cave boy, Hanna later if it's big he married Bram, your son and the cave believe that Bram can make the cave boy happy."

Mr. Ardi heard that he was surprised that he did not believe that his best friend wanted his son to marry Hanna, the son of his best friend "Hmm God willing that God would allow the cave to help Bram and Hanna to be together" he said with a smile

Flash on

"So it's ustad, ustadzah, Hanna the story" he told the three of them

"Allhamdulillah if Mr. Ardi wants to fulfill Mr. Ardi's promise to the late Mr. Azis to marry your child, because after all the promise is a debt and must be implemented immediately" said Ustad Gofur

"But sorry Mr. Ardi everything I leave the answer to Hanna, because he has the right to determine the candidate of his priest to lead him to his paradise God" said Ustadzah Aqila to Bram with a face staring at Mr. Ardi, Bram, ustad Gofur, and Hanna by turns

Then Mr. Ardi gave the code to Bram to speak to Hanna to inform him of his arrival. Bram also knows the code that his papa told him to speak to Hanna "Dad Han so I agreed to my papah's wish to accept this match, for the answer I leave to you." he said by looking at Hanna's face

"I'm sorry if Bram doesn't mind if I can ask for time to answer them and I ask God for guidance?" ask her by looking at Bram's face

"Dad it's up to you, if you can answer tell me."
