Inside the magnificent house sounded the whimper of a girl. Follow wherever her mother goes.

"Mother, Ave doesn't want to be betrothed," he whines by trailing his mother from behind.

"Nduk already. This is the request of Eyang Yaya. You know for yourself that Eyang Yaya is indisputable." His mother gave understanding.

"Ave still wants to go to college, Mom. Ave doesn't want to be betrothed and married."

"What is Nduk doing in college? Arek wadon ora wants to go to college. Ning omah ae." Eyang Uti also told. [What is college doing? Girls don't have to go to college. At home only ]

"Mother, Eyang Uti. Ave wants to go to college" he said.

"Wes toh Nduk. Nurut karo old wong." The words of Eyang Uti even made Ave annoyed. [Same parents ]

"Ave wants to go to college. Ave doesn't want to be matched." Ave spoke in an annoyed tone and let out her tears.

"Sir, we can't argue with what an older person has said. They know what's best for us." Ambar gives understanding to his youngest son.

"But Ave wants to go to college, ma'am. Ave wants to be like friends who can be free to choose the path of his life." Ave as much as he talks.

Ambar can't do anything for his youngest son. Ave reminded himself of when he was a girl. Same with Ave. Ambarpun wanted to continue his education to a higher level but the matchmaking made him unable to choose his own life path.

"Already, yes, Nduk. Don't cry anymore." Ambar embraces Ave's still crying body.

Mira's mother was concerned about the situation of her young lady. Mira knew the family she had been following since she was a child held firm to the custom of arranged marriages. Every child in this family must be ready to be betrothed by anyone. Including first brother Ave. Fortunately, Raras was willing to be betrothed by the son of a friend of Eyang Yaya's family and his father.

"Mother Mira, it's good, it doesn't have to be betrothed." Ave poured out her heart to Mira in her room.

"Yes Non". Mira only answered short because she did not know what to say.

"Ave still wants to go to college, Mira. Why does Ave have to be betrothed?"

"Maybe for parents. This is the best way for the lady. Someone's looking after and loving Miss Ave." Mira explained her own thoughts. 

"Again, Non. Her future husband Miss Ave is not from an unknown person. Salim is good, Non," he said again without Mira realizing it. Ave's eyes bulged.

"Oh my goodness, Non. Don't glare at it that way. Later his eyes are not beautiful anymore," he chanted to make Ave laugh.

"Ih Mira's. Ave seriously. Ave did not want to marry Salim first. Ave wants to go to college just getting married," whined Ave like a kid.

"Try Miss Ave to talk to Mr. Brata. Isn't her father Miss more affectionate with Miss Ave." That's reasonable advice.

"Definitely more horrified what Eyang said than his son." Ave was getting upset.

"Tried first, anyway, Non. Who knows if the lady has a good reason to be considered by Mr. Brata."

"It makes sense too. Okay, Ave's gonna talk to dad. Thank you Mira," said Ave enthusiastically while running small.

"Basar miss Ave. Wept now singing happily. Understandably still a son of a sibg." Mira muttered inwardly looking at the behavior of her little miss.

Salim's Pov

Since I was eight years old. I was brought to this house by my father. Dad's business went bankrupt and our house was confiscated by the bank. Dad got a job as the Jaya family's personal driver. A beautiful family in this city. They were very nice to us. They never looked at us as superiors and subordinates. I went to school in the same place as the youngest son of the Jaya family. Aveliena. I call her Miss Ave. He's a nosy, talkative guy, but he's a light-handed guy. Often after school we always go to the place of the street buskers to share food. Ask the busker or beggar at the end of the big road. Who doesn't know Miss Ave. The kind-hearted Miss Ave, the coquettish Miss Ave even called her Sister Fairy. For this one I don't think it's appropriate. The fairy was like a gentle figure. And Miss Ave? Different from her sister. Ms. Raras is a calm, gentle and polite person, he said.

Every day I meet my little lady. That's what I call him. I picked her up and picked her up at school. Accompany him to play and bike on the farm. My little miss is a very chatty person but she is not a spoiled girl even though she is affectionate around her and takes great care of her.

"It's all right." He answered briefly.

Ms. Ave has been sick since childhood and has had a heart transplant. Since then, he has been taking his vitamins every day. If it is too tired, the disease will recur. That's why we take care of him so much.

"Salim ..." Call him by twisting his shirt.

"Yes Miss Ave. What's up?" I immediately stopped my usual afternoon activities. Watering the favorite flowers of Eyang Uti.

"Salim, won't you help me?" His ink with his eyes.

"Help what, Non."

"Talk to my father. I don't want to get married first. I want to go to college after school." He held my arm.

I saw him holding my hand. He immediately took his hand off my arm.

"Come Salim. Help me yes." He sulked again.

"But I'm afraid of the same Eyang Yaya, Non."

"This salim. You are a man. Time of fear."

"Miss will know that Eyang Yaya is hard to refute." I dodged.

"I don't want to marry you. I'm just gonna run away." He immediately ran with his face.

I don't know if I should be grateful or not for this situation. I honestly liked my little lady a long time ago, but I was just an inappropriate servant accompanying a girl from a noble family.

"Salim, I want to talk to you. Can you sit here for a minute, son?" Said the father with a serious expression.

"Yes dad. Please talk, Father." I answered politely.

"Son, father beg of you. Please take care of Miss Ave as your wife later, yes. I know you may not accept this match. I can't do anything, son. It's the will of Eyang Yaya."

I was listening to Dad.

"Suppose this as our return because the Jaya family has accommodated and received us here well," continued my father looking away.

"If it's Eyang Yaya's decision. Salim accept, Father. But ...." I didn't continue because I was afraid that Dad wouldn't approve.

"Why, Son?"

"Dad can't. I talked to Eyang Yaya and Mr. Brata let Miss Ave go to college."

"Miss Ave shouldn't go to college, Salim. It was because of her pain that her family restricted all of Miss Ave's activities." Dad gave me a real reason.

"Let Salim take care of him, Father. Let him go to Salim's school so Salim can keep an eye on him."

My smile expands.

"Do you like it, Salim?" Dad's words made me choke on tea.

"Yes, no longer need to talk about. I know you liked Miss Ave a long time ago. I'll try to talk to Eyang Yaya." Dad patted me on the shoulder and walked towards his room.

"Thank God Salim didn't reject this match." Malik's father spoke to himself in his room.
