"Arman, do you know that you were married when your mom was 19 and you were 28? and it's not a big deal for us to be able to adapt after marriage. You can certainly live it all, and for the school we can guarantee that no one will know, because this marriage will be held at the peak of silence" said Dirga gave understanding.
"I don't love her Pa, and she also loves me. How can a marriage without love happen? papa tries to understand me dong Pa" replied Arman still does not want an arranged marriage.
"It's all in your hands, you can resist and talk to everyone inside. Papa does not want to say anything else because this is your life" concluded Dirga back patting.pundak his son.
Dirga brought Arman into the house because he was reluctant to leave too long. Arman began to think every step of the way to the house. All the words of his papa, he absorbed and thought well. If he had to refuse, it would probably be very embarrassing to both his parents and could only accept it.
"Arman want to say something?" jasmine asked her son.
"Arman agreed to marry Sachinta" replied Arman, immediately Melati stood up and hugged his son happy.
Seeing a happy laugh on his mother's face, making Arman's heart happy. However, her mother's choice could not be wrong and had gone through careful consideration.

One week after the dinner, all the wedding preparations have been carried out. The two extended families are now on top of the same page to witness the wedding of Arman and Sachinta tomorrow. An event known only to families, and preparing to lock up a meeting makes it a secret that must be maintained before the reception later. A reception that will be on the title when both feel ready to publicize the relationship together.
Since that dinner, Sachinta and Arman have similarly avoided each other's views when meeting at school. Even wedding preparations, they do not interfere and will only sit as a bride only when the wedding is on the title. Sachinta who initially agreed to get married, suddenly felt indecisive because he had just realized all Arman's words that night. But he was also no longer able to retreat even though his heart was so rejecting this matchmaking now.
"Remain here?" reprimand Arman approached Sachinta who was sitting alone on a park bench.
"Search for air" the short girl was wearing hotpant pants and the white sweater replied.
Arman sat down beside Sachinta, gave the girl a blanket beside him and covered her smooth thighs. Sitting slightly away, Arman stared straight ahead the same as Sachinta.
"It's too late to back off, isn't it?" sachinta asked helplessly.
"Repent? wasn't that the time I had worked together to refuse?" sahut Arman relaxed, Sachinta exhaled a long breath.
"I'm sleepy" Sachinta replied avoiding being able to answer.
"Go inside and sleep inside" Arman said.
"Hm" Sachinta said.
Not knowing what to answer, Sachinta chose to just leave Arman who also thought the same as him. Now they feel they are on the brink together, and just waiting for the time to plunge together into the abyss. Either survive or die together there.
Arman pensively thought about the wedding that will be in the title tomorrow. Still can't believe he's going to marry his own student, with a stark age difference. What if until someone finds out, the fear continues to haunt Arman's day from the time the marriage is determined.
Melati who was about to go out threw away the leftovers, seeing her son sitting alone on a park bench decided to meet. Directly hugging her son, Melati kissed the right cheek of the man who was shocked by his presence.
"Mama, make me surprised" cried Arman surprised, in reply to a smile by a woman dressed in a black jacket stepped up to sit together.
"Why? you think this mama is Sasa?" teasing with a smile, patting his son's thigh.
"Who thinks rich?" murmured lirih Arman.
"Is it cold outside? alone again, not afraid of any wolves continuing to eat you?" jasmine teased her son.
"Is mom happy with this marriage?" arman asked, looking at his mother.
"Happy, I'm sure one day you'll be happy too. Sasa is not what you think, he is a good and cheerful child who certainly can love new colors in your life later" holding his son's hand widens the smile.
"Oh yeah, tomorrow you guys stay here first after the wedding. We all go back in the afternoon to take care of the house that you want to occupy later" said back Melati.
"Sachinta has to go to Ma's school, if we stay here how is the school?" sahut Arman's.
"Please, all Mama took care of the same. You just have to sit down tomorrow for marriage you need to think of anything" smile and pitched spirit.
"Okay, as long as you're happy" resigned Arman.
Putting his head on his mother's lap, Arman wanted to feel for her head. Whenever he burdened the mind with problems, Arman would surely lay his head on his mother's lap and instantly become calm. The miracle of a mother's hand, it can indeed expel all the misfortune of her children.
"From tomorrow, Sasa who will wipe your hair is not your mother anymore" teased back.
"Don't ask for grandchildren, she's still in school and may be pregnant" Arman warned, patted on her shoulder by Melati.
"You know what you think" Melati smiled.
"You see, from the face of the mother really hope to have a grandchild" relaxed man still comfortable leaning on the lap of his mother.
"I don't want to be urged to have children, justin all that ngalir. Just be careful if until mama maksa for me to have children" Arman warned.
"Yes yes" said Melati.
The status of students who are still in Sachinta, it is not possible for him to have children. Moreover, the requirement of his father not to touch Sachinta until he graduated school first. It was deliberately conveyed Dirga because of Sachinta's current age, and fear of pregnancy that could make Sachinta disturbed in the lesson. It was also underlying Dirga to reject this matchmaking, when his wife tried to express the first time.
