After the lecture, all family members gathered in the backyard for dinner together. There are already several large dining tables and chairs neatly arranged. Then on the table has been arranged various kinds of menus, ranging from appetizers, main meals and desserts.

On the right side, it is placed for the children and the sons-in-law of Oma Laras, then on the left side specifically for all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Oma Laras. They've sat in their seats, except for Mrs. Calina, Aunt Santi, Danira and Gavino. They are still chatting teasing Khalisa who is in the sling of Aunt Santi, while walking to seven tables.

" Khalisa is so funny Lin ". Said Aunt Santi, who was anxious with chubby cheeks Khalisa.

" Of course, he's my grandson ". Said Ny. Calina, boast.

" Yes I know he's also my grandson now. But I can't wait to see the birth of Danira and Gavino's babies later, it'll be even more adorable ". Said Aunt Santi, kissing Khalisa's cheek. Ms. calina turned her head back, lowered her eyebrows at Gavino.

"Tan, can I ask you something ?".

" What..?".

" Can I have a baby by sneezing or rubbing a teapot?". Question Gavino, successfully stopped the steps of the mothers.

" Why are you asking like that ?". Ask Aunt Santi, who felt strange about her nephew's question.

" Yes.seems like Aunt and Mami's wishes are difficult for me to realize ".

" Why?, are you sick?, mom will call Doctor Richard now, so he can fly here quickly, check on your health ". Ms. Calina said worriedly, then pulled out her phone, looking for contact dr. Richard.

" I see, what's so hard, what's the need to buy a movie for you ? ". Clearly Mrs. Calina patted the right palm with her left palm. Aunt Santi just smiled amusedly, while Gavino flicked her lips annoyed with the silly behavior of her mother.

" heck...!! If it's just a scene like in the movies I already know, the problem is I can't touch my wife. Let alone to make a baby, just look at his face I can't ". Obviously Gavino, while glancing at Danira who was beside him. Danira lowered her head.

Why should he discuss this matter in front of the parents anyway. Inner Danira growled, it felt like she wanted to cover her husband's mouth with socks. If you don't remember it's sinful, maybe Danira has done it now.

Mrs. Calina and Aunt Santi looked at each other, then....

HA..HA..HA..HA..HA...

" If that's the case, then you're in big trouble and you can't help you, because only Danira can make the decision, willing or untouched by you ". Said Ny. Calina, laughed out loud at the great suffering her son was going through.

" Yes your mom was right, my aunt couldn't help. Turns out the fate of Aunt's handsome niece is very sad huh ". Gelak Aunt Santi is in contact with Mrs Calina.

"You must work harder, to conquer your wife's heart. Don't take too long to act, later hunted seized by another man ". Whisper Aunt Santi, tease Gavino. After saying that, Ms. Calina and her brother left the couple who were sculpting in their place.

" Well, why say such a thing to your mom and aunt. It was so embarrassing ". Annoyed Danira, hitting her husband's back softly.

" I'm just telling you the truth, something's wrong?, shouldn't we be lying ?". Gavino said relax.

" Yes, but that doesn't mean you can discuss such a problem. Uh-hh....Mas Gavino sucks ". Annoyed Danira, walking left Gavino alone.

" Why does he look so upset ? I didn't say anything strange, why did he get angry ". Gavino muttered, confused to see Danira who left just like that. Gavino began to step up to his wife, walking casually with both hands stuffed into his pants pocket.

Seeing Gavino's presence, everything on the table of the grandchildren became silent, which had been crowded suddenly silent for a moment. Gavino sits in a special seat for the eldest grandchild, wherever he is, he remains the center of attention.

Today Oma Laras is very happy, because her children and grandchildren can get together. Although the twins could not attend because of lectures abroad, but Oma Laras was not disappointed, because before the event began, they had made a video call.

...Husband, look. Today all of our children and great grandchildren gathered together to commemorate the day that you returned to the Khaliq's bosom. They all pray for you....

...My husband, do you know, today I am very happy, because our eldest grandson Gavino can join the others, even he has married a very good woman....

...She's our daughter-in-law's granddaughter, her name is Danira. She was not only beautiful, but also her heart and piety. She's the perfect woman to accompany Gavino, who's as hard as you used to be....

...O Lord, if my death is near, and You will immediately take me back into your lap, then I am sincere. Since my worries have been lost, Gavinoku has found a wife who is able to look after and guide him on YOUR path. If indeed my time in this world has run out, then I ask to unite again me with My Husband in Your eternity....

Inner Oma, as if speaking to her late husband. He smiled happily, looking at the familiarity he was witnessing before him.

Danira starts to spoon the rice into Gavino's plate, then puts the side dishes and vegetables without asking what Gavino wants, because Danira is still very upset with her husband. Feeling enough, he placed the filled plate in front of the gavino. Gavino continued to follow Danira's gerik, with his hands folded in front of his chest.

Danira had put the food in her mouth, but when the second feed came in, Gavino held up Danira's plate and exchanged it for her plate of food.

" Why exchange ?". Danira asked confused, with what Gavino did.

" Do you want to make me fat, by giving me this much food hhmm?".

" But didn't you just say you were hungry ?".

" How can I dream, when sleep is not yet ".

" Where do I know if you're asleep or not, I can't see your eyes being closed or open ". Sindir Gavino, snatch the spoon in Danira's hand, then put the food using the spoon into his mouth.

" Why did you take my spoon too, I've used it ".

" Why if I use a spoon in your mouth, can't you, or do you have rabies ?". Said Gavino, continue to disturb Danira who increasingly looks annoyed at him. Gavino smiled faintly, and the moment did not escape the eyes of Gavino's cousins who were at one table with him.

They were eager to greet and talk to Gavino, but were distraught for fear of the coldness and cruelty of Gavino's mouth, which often said loud and arrogant. They could only look at Gavino silently.

Aunt Sinta kicked her husband's leg, then gave the code through the look in his eyes. Om Anton sighed softly, then nodded.

" Chemm...How's your company Vin doing, it's not just smooth ?". Said Om Anton, making small talk with Gavino. Gavino was unmoved, he continued to eat his food regardless of the question from his om. Danira touches Gavino's arm slowly. Gavino sighed, putting down his spoon and fork.

" If it's a Gavino who holds a company, it's sure everything will be smooth and fine ". Said Gavino without seeing his interlocutor, then upheld a glass of water in his hand. Danira closed her eyes, hearing the husband's arrogant reply.

" Oh, thank God, then ". Said Mr. Anton, nodding in understanding. Aunt Sinta again kicked her husband, giving the code to ask again.

" What ?".

" Cekk.you're so stupid. Right away, at the point of ". Bisik Aunt Sinta, furious with the inaction of the husband.

" No, I'll find someone else ". Bisik om Anton, hearing her husband's answer, made Aunt Sinta glare her eyes annoyed.

" Vino ". Call Aunt Sinta friendly, om Anton touch his wife's thigh, want to stop what Aunt Sinta will say.

" Aunty heard your company is getting more advanced and growing very rapidly. You're so great, Auntie's so proud of you ". His words without caring about Gavino's chuckle who did not look at Aunt Sinta.

" Vino can Aunt ask for your help ?".

" Mah already, don't be embarrassed. Look everybody's staring at us right now ". Whisper om Anton again, asking for his wife to stop talking. But Aunt Sinta does not care about it all, she will launch a plan that she has compiled. He believes if he conveys his point in front of the big family, Gavino will not be able to refuse his wishes, thought Aunt Sinta.

Gavino did not reply, he kept silent with his seventh look at Danira. Seeing that Aunt Sinta was upset, because Gavino did not give any response, she seemed to speak for herself. But he kept trying to smile.

" Vino, can you give some help to your company that's in trouble?, Auntie sure you've heard it, haven't you, Auntie.....".

" Sinta...would you, not discuss about business now?, do you not remember what this event is ?". Said Ny. Calina, who had been holding back so as not to make a fuss with her sister-in-law.

" Of course I remember mbak, what did I say?, I was just trying to ask my greatest nephew for help, is something wrong ?". He said casually, without caring about the gaze of Oma Laras who had seen him.

" But you can talk about this after the show is over. You're-you're right.....".

" That's it, let Aunt Sinta talk. Maybe after that he'll shut up ". Gavino said coldly, then glanced at Aunt Sinta who was smiling happily at him.

" Aunty tell me what Aunt wants to say ".

" Look Vin, you or your own company om you are not okay. Auntie hope you can give an injection of funds for your om company, so that it can be stable again ".

" Eemmm...that's it ?". Gavino said, while playing his phone.

" There's more ".

" Mah, it's ". Said Anton, still trying to stop his wife. He knows what his wife wants to say.

" Silence, I'm not done yet, you just sit quietly and just listen ". Next, throw out her husband's hand under the table.

" So this is Vin, actually Aunt asking for your help is not just free. Aunty wants to have more of a relationship than this. Eemmm...!!! I mean Auntie, Aunty wants you to marry Ayu. Let's just say it's to further strengthen our family relationships ". The words of Aunt Sinta, of course surprised everyone, especially Oma Laras, Ny. calina, Gavino what else Danira. He immediately raised his gaze to look at Aunt Sinta and then turned to Gavino.

" Enough Sinta, what do you mean say like this. Did you forget, if Gavino has a wife, and also Gavino and Ayu they are brothers, should not marry. Are you crazy, HUH...?". Miss Calina who can't tolerate it anymore.

" Of course I know, Gavino already has a wife. But he never loved his wife, so for what he continued to survive a loveless marriage, what else with a woman who was not his hope, a woman who already had children from other men. It was so embarrassing ".

" Ayu and Gavino are half-cousins, they are not bound by blood at all. So it's perfectly fine if they get married, isn't it Mom ?". Said Aunt Sinta, asking for the opinion of Oma Laras, who had just sat quietly, watching her daughter-in-law and children arguing.

" I also don't care if Gavino doesn't want to divorce his wife, it's okay for me, if ayu becomes a second wife. The important thing is that Gavino can be fair to ayu, I'm sure, my son will also agree to my proposal ". Said Aunt Sinta full of confidence.

" You're crazy Sinta, you're out of your mind. Anton, better, you take your wife to a mental hospital to be treated, she's really sick ". Said Mrs Calina, who never thought, how could this sister-in-law want to pawn her biological daughter only for money and property.

Gavino still chose silence, even though his face was not as calm as before, his eyes had already shown anger, his jaw was hardened, his hands had clenched into fists. Gavino was eager to interrupt her mother and tant, but again Gavino was stopped by Danira's hand, which touched her knee under the table.

Whatever your family says about me, please keep Gavin quiet and calm. Please take care of Oma's feelings, it's hers tonight, please don't make a fuss. That's Danira's message, when they get out of the room. Gavino closed his eyes, trying to quell the anger that was ready to explode.

Not far from there, a girl who had been standing behind a wall, heard all the debates that were going on. He smiled happily, when he heard the mother ask, the man adjaan to marry her. He prancing pleasure.

" Will my dream come true ?".
