A happy meeting for Fanya. For several years he has not seen his family. It is not really a matter of distance or time. The unwillingness to recall the bitterness of the old story, made Fanya reluctant to return home.
"They're asleep?" tanya Sakti's.
"Yes Mas. Thanks, I want to take my family. Sorry, there is so much of it. Trus Mas Sakti how do I know my home address in the village? I never told the same thing."
"I've been looking at some of the people closest to you. One of them was Clara. He helped me a lot. Besides, I've asked for information from your place of work. Through my mother, I know where you came from. What matters is that we can all get together. For a while, let them stay here. You live here too" said Sakti.
"Oh so that's the story. Thanks to you, Mas. My help has helped my family so much. I hope that all the good that Mas gives, becomes a blessing for Mas as well." said Fanya.
Sakti hugged Fanya.
"It's already night. Rest up. You have to work again tomorrow. At least your family is safe here. I'm going home first Dad!".
"Mas want to go home? Why not just stay here. Is there a Mas Sakti room here?" ask Fanya.
"There are only 3 rooms here.1 main room, my room and 2 guest rooms. If the 2 guest rooms are occupied by your brother and your ort, only the main room is left. Well, you sleep in my room. I can go home. What time do I have to stay here? Why are we in that room? Don't want to, do you? Downstairs, Satya was waiting for me. So, consider this your home too. Take a break, yeah! Later if there is time, I will invite my mother to meet with your ort." replied Sakti.
"Alright Mas" said Fanya resigned and stroked Sakti's cheek.
They eventually separated. Fanya also immediately entered the Sakti room.
"Mas Sakti, you're really good. There is so much help and kindness you have done for me. Look, you even gave me a ride to stay here for my family. You don't know what my true story is. At first I never went home again? You don't know my story yet. Someday, I'll tell you. What secrets I have long been silent about, I will devote to you" Fanya said as she looked at the photo of Sakti on the nightstand.

The meeting of the Sakti family and the Fanya family was held in the Sakti apartment.
"Meet me, I'm Syakira, Sakti's mother" said Bu Syakira.
"I am Anya, Fanya's mother. And this is my husband, Fahmi. Hello to you, ma'am. Sorry if our arrival has inconvenienced the family of Bu Syakira." reply Ms Anya.
"It's okay Mom. Actually I was the one who should have come to the mother's residence and family. Because our sons and daughters seem to have difficulty finding the right time to visit there, well finally the mother and family who were brought here" said Bu Syakira.
"I'm sorry a thousand sorry ma'am. I want to ask, for the continuation of the relationship Nak Sakti and my daughter how? We need clarity." asked Mr. Fahmi.
"As a mother, of course I want my son, Sakti, to be able to find a companion to life as he wishes. Love each other. Not for a match without love. So far, I know that between Sakti and Fanya, they love and love each other. If I am private, I support Sakti's decision to be close to Fanya. Incidentally in this meeting, I intend to apply for Fanya for Sakti. I hope my good intentions and Sakti are welcomed by Mr. Fahmi's family." said Bu Syakira steady.
Deg. Fanya felt the fresh wind. Mr. Fahmi nodded his head. Then he turned to look at Fanya who was sitting next to him.
"How, are you willing to accept Nak Sakti's proposal?" ask Mr. Fahmi to Fanya.
"Fanya wants to sir." replied Fanya.
"Alhamdulillah." cried the others.
"Well, we have agreed to accept the proposal from Nak Sakti. Next, how about the wedding date?" ask Mr. Fahmi.
"It may, in the near future. I want to immediately justify Fanya. To be more precise, can it be between me and Fanya that determines the date first? We beg for permission to talk both first." replied Sakti firmly.
Fahmi turned to Fanya. Fanya pleaded with her facial gesture.
"All right!" said Mr. Fahmi.
Fanya also permission to leave the place. Followed by Sakti who followed behind him. They separate themselves from their families. They were on a balcony facing the outside.
"Can we get married today?" the Sakti says behind tanya.
"Mas, don't joke. I want to be serious with you." said Fanya annoyed.
"I'm serious too. Can't be today? Uhm, how about 2 more weeks? Are you ready?" tanya Sakti's.
"Huh, that fast? Isn't it complicated if you want a wedding? Where could it be so fast?".
"Four. We don't have to have a fancy party. A simple party with the presence of our extended family and closest friends, is quite festive and sacred. Or do you want us to have a fancy event? Like a viral wedding?".
"It's not. I even want to do it already. I mean complicated in terms of managing the wedding files. Must go to RT/RW, subdistrict, KUA, trus not to mention definitely a health test to get a Certificate Worth Marriage. Anyway very complicated. You see, I got a story from some of them so." said Fanya confused.
"That's it. He will be assisted by Satya. He has a special line for licensing. We must be married. You're ready, right?" tanya Sakti is directly embraced by Fanya.
Sakti and Fanya re-join the family gathering.
"How did you decide?" ask Mrs Syakira.
"We agreed to get married in 2 weeks. We just had a simple wedding event attended by big family and closest friends." replied Sakti.
Bu Syakira seemed disappointed by Sakti's decision. Not disagree when the marriage is arranged. But disappointed with just a simple wedding. He wants a good show. Because Sakti is the only son of his puppet.
"Sakti, is it not wrong? Mama wants you to get married as you should. Is not too...".
"Already Ma. It's both of our decisions. Fanya agreed. Do Mom and Dad agree with our decision?".
"If your decision is so, we as Fanya's parents, will definitely support" said Mr. Fahmi seriously.
"Pak Fahmi and his family are sincere if marriage is only celebrated simply?" ask Mrs Syakira.
"We don't bother about that, Mom. Even if it's a deal, we don't mind. Marriage is to unite two people in a religious covenant. If it is religiously legal, plus registered under existing law, it is legal. For a party, it is not mandatory. We are indeed poor people, but we do not demand anything from Nak Sakti. Have promised to take care of our beloved daughter, Fanya, we are happy enough" replied Mr. Fahmi.
The exchange of opinions is over. Next they enjoyed the dishes that Bik Ani had prepared.
"Well, you're finally going to be right away" Fandi teased Fanya as they sat next to her at the dinner table.
"Yes, I want to follow Mas Fandi. Want to make a cute baby like Rian. Mas Fandi has toys without batteries. Fanya also wants times." said Fanya slowly.
"Yes, later we make it halal" whispered Sakti to Fanya.
"But you're being horrified?" ask Fanya in wonder.
"Tante also denger loh. Been immediately later. You promised in front of us all!" exclaim Bu Syakira.
"Duh, Fanya means..." Fanya was confused as to what to say.
'I'm confused as to what to answer. I should have spoken more carefully. If you already feel mentally alone.' murmured Fanya.
"Ayo-ayo please eat this dish. Hopefully it fits on the tongue." said Bu Syakira.
They all enjoyed dinner in peace.
