“Haah..” Atep and Alena looked surprised to hear Sadiyah's words.

“Although just getting acquainted does not mean not suitable, right?” god Sadiyah.

“Sya, Len. Aa saw that Atep was a kind and loving man. What's wrong if you try,” said Kagendra who suddenly stood next to his wife.

“Eh, Aa why come here?” ask Sadiyah who seems to not like if her husband interfered in her efforts to match Atep and Alena.

“So Aras and Aris are angry with Aa. They said that Aa had disrupted their plans to introduce her aunt and mother,” explained Kagendra.

“Ibuuu..” Alena complained about her sister and sister-in-law's behavior to her mother.

“I'm Yusuf, Abah Lena. You can call me Abah like Endra, Iyah, and Lena call me.” Joseph reached out to shake hands with Atep.

Atep welcomed Joseph's hand and kissed the back of his hand.

“I've met you when you first came to the house of Teh Iyah.”

“Oh yes? I used to not see you. Maybe you were a teenager then?” ask Yusuf.

“New pass SMA, Sir,” replied Atep.

“Call Abah, like the others,” pinta Yusuf.

“Lena new 28 years, Mom,” Alena said.

“Iya two more years you are 30 years,” reply Indriani does not want to lose.

“Current age, 30 years old it's still young, Bu.” Alena tried to defend herself.

Indriani paid no heed to the protests from his daughter.

“Nak Atep, if I may know, how old are you? Do you want to accept an older wife. Said you just graduated college. What age are you? 24 years? Or 25 years?” ask Indriani.

“My age is now 27 years, Mom,” replied Atep. “I am indeed very late to finish college because busy looking for tuition by myself.”

“Oh, great if you're paying for your own college. That means you're a hardworking man. You work while in college?”

“Betul, Bu,” Answer Atep.

“Atep help-help Iyah take care of boutiques and cafes. He has also started his own business,” said Sadiyah.

“Good! The man in charge,” praise Yusuf.

Sadiyah looked at Kagendra meaningfully. He has felt the success of his plan in matching Alena and Atep. Sadiyah was sure there was something Alena and Atep were hiding. He felt that Alena and Atep had known each other before.

“Tep, I and Iyah enter first. You two have a chat first.” Kagendra drew Sadiyah's hand to follow her into the house.
