The marriage she had dreamed of with Dina. But now the lover is far away there. Struggling with his illness, between life and death.

At the end of the event, all the big families took part in capturing the wedding moment. How happy Mang Cik Man saw his extended family and relatives far away - far away took the time to come in the wedding of his first daughter. Everything is recorded clearly in the photographer's camera shot. Beautiful togetherness through the face - a face full of happiness.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, we finished our wedding. All the big families went straight home. There are also those who are waiting for a few more days. But not with Mr. Bambang's family. They rested for a while after a tiring day.

In the evening, Pak Bambang's family visited the house of one of his relatives. Angga just followed where his father took them.

At seven o'clock at the residence of Mang Cik Man's house. Mr. Bambang's family looked well dressed to leave. With in accompanied by mang cik Man who drove the car drove towards the house that wanted to be visited Pak Bambang family. Mang cik Man and his wife know very well the ins and outs of Palembang city. Both of them were born and raised in this city.

It only took them fifteen minutes to arrive at their destination. A luxurious house stands in the center of the city. A beautiful two-story house with a large courtyard. The beautiful front yard. With shady trees and some colorful ornamental plants flowers. Adding to the luxury of the house.

The white livina grand car stopped right in front of the tightly closed fence of the house. Mang cik Man then got out of the car and hit the bell in front of the fence.

Then Mang Cik Man got back into the car. About two minutes a young security came to open the gate of the fence of the owner of the house.

Angga and Dion were amazed at how wide the front courtyard of this house was. It was like looking at the houses of the rich people who often saw when their mothers were watching soap operas that aired every night on one of the national TV stations.

Mang cik Man and wife have been used to come to this house. So the two of them are not so amazed as the family of Mr. Bambang.

The white grand livina stopped at one of the places inside the garage - the host's car. One by one they all went down. The host also came to the back of the car they parked.

" Assalamualaikum .. , thank you for arriving at our home, "welcome to the host.

" Waalaikum salam .. , "all speak the words of the host.

Not to play surprised Angga and Dion saw the face of the host. He is the Great Sir. A distant relative who will be betrothed by the father to himself.

Angga was amazed, Mr. Agung was really a successful bus entrepreneur. Seen from the ownership of the house and some cars that he has.

Angga so pay respect to the Great Sir. Although he had abundant wealth, he was never as arrogant as most rich people in general.

Undoubtedly, Mr. Agung greeted his guests one by one. Everyone was invited into his magnificent home.

"Come .. login. Don't hesitate. Think of it as your own home, "said Mr. Agung while walking to embrace the shoulder of Mr. Bambang from the side.

Mr. Bambang is actually not too close to Mr. Agung. They are only distant relatives. Their friendship in because Pak Bambang opened a bus branch owned by Pak Agung in Bengkulu.

Initially, Pak Bambang's family did not approve of the cooperation with Mr. Agung. Because there is a land dispute issue from both grandparents' ancestors on both sides that has not been resolved.

The disharmonious relationship has been for years without clarity. No one wants to give up. It was finally agreed upon by both their grandparents. The disputed land located in the city center will be granted for the construction of mosques. This deal can be canceled if there are children who want to be betrothed.

The story of this matchmaking was only known by Mr. Agung about three months ago through a will of his grandfather. Before he died he gave a letter and a land certificate on his behalf which was owned also by others who were still distant relatives with him.

His distant relative was his grandmother Pak Bambang. Mr. Bambang does not know about this. Until one day Mr. Bambang on the phone by Mr. Agung.

"Assalamualaikum Bang, apo tidings, "greet Mr. Agung three months ago.

"Well, ado apo call me, "a friendly reply Pak Bambang at that time with Palembang language made to follow the language of Pak Agung.

"I'm not betanyo bae with you. Know your grandmother's land dak cerito in Palembang, "ask Mr. Agung subtly.

"Oh that land. Ngapo ? land dispute yo, "lead Pak Bambang assented.

"Let's land. Neknang the deceased dio gave a message before he died. Supayo land was not so in the hibahkan kito child in mate bae, "ask Pak Agung with fluent Palembang language.

"I basically agree bae. It depends on the kito children, " replied Mr. Bambang.

That was the brief conversation of Mr. Agung and Mr. Bambang about matchmaking at that time.

And now the family of Mr. Bambang came to visit the family home of Mr. Agung.

Pak Bambang's family was amazed - amazed by the living room chairs and the funiture of the room that was plated with gold. It was amazing to see the contents in the house of Mr. Agung.

They all sat in the living room. So too with the host. Soon after came the wife of Mr. Great and followed Tiara behind him.

Tiara looked embarrassed - embarrassed as she sat mingling with the guests who came. Spacious living room with guest chairs that are deliberately placed to accommodate approximately 10 people. Long sofa chair there are 2 pieces plus 4 guest chairs with matching gold color. On his desk there is an aqua glass that is deliberately placed on it.

Shortly thereafter two young women (helpers) of the house of Pak Agung brought two large plates arranged sponge cake and a typical Palembang regional cake on it. Then they went back and forth to pick up some pastry jars and put them back on the living room table.

The Great then began his conversation.

" Assalamualaikum everything. It's so good you guys came to our house. Please drink and eat cakes perfunctory from us, "friendly greeting Mr. Agung to his guests.

" Greetings waalaikum, " said everyone present.

" We are happy to be able to get to the house of Mr. Agung. Fortunately ado Mang Cik Man ferociously sent us, " replied Mr. Bambang while glancing at Mang Cik Man.

Mr. Bambang sighed softly, then he started talking again.

"We're here for what we want to say. We intend to propose ananda Tiara to our ananda, Angga, ", he said Mr. Bambang slowly.

Not to play surprised Angga heard his name mentioned by his father. Dad asked for his consent at the time. But not so fast. What guts he should do. Where maybe he refused the father's request in the name of his mother who was often sick - sick at that time.

In the concern of arriving - arrived the name Angga mentioned again by his father.

"How about Angga ? you agree not! , " asked Mr. Bambang directly to his eldest son.

"Y-yes I agree. Whatever the good. It's up to Tiara to want or not, "ask Angga directly at Tiara.

Angga hoped Tiara would refuse this engagement. I hope this deal fails. He still hoped that Dina would accompany his life one day.

"I'm up to you, which is good according to papa I follow you, " replied straightforwardly Tiara while looking down at the floor.

Angga was so stunned to get an answer from Tiara. The young doctor who used to say out loud according to his heart. Had he been under pressure from his father to say so.

Today is Tiara and Angga's engagement day. Didn't expect - thought Angga's mother took out two gold rings. Angga never knew when his mother bought the ring.

"Alright, to tie the engagement rope between our children. Come here Angga, " said Mr. Bambang while standing asking Angga to stand nearby.

Then Angga's mother gave her husband a ring. Then Mr. Agung also stood up and asked his son to stand nearby.

Mr. Bambang and Mr. Agung faced each other. Similarly with Angga and Tiara they faced each other and looked at each other.

Angga also thumped his heart as he looked at Tiara. Tiara looks very beautiful with a long pink dress that touches the floor and a pink bandana enthroned in her long, shoulder-length black hair.

Mr. Bambang then handed the ring to Angga. "Come on... Angga, this put a ring on Tiara's ring finger, "pinta Pak Bambang.

Angga received a ring from his father. Everyone present then shone a light on Angga. "Ayo Angga, quickly put the ring, " urged his mother Angga followed the same as the others.

Angga's heart trembled, as he put a ring on Tiara's ring finger. He remembers putting a ring on someone. Someone he left at the time.

Like a man wants to cry. He could not bear his actions this time would hurt someone's heart too. But he can't do anything. He did not want to embarrass his parents.

Tiara then approached. He looked very happy, reflected in the look on his face. Someone has now put a ring on his ring finger. Someone whose face is exactly

with his ex-girlfriend.

Tiara then put the ring given by Angga to be installed on the ring finger Angga. Angga then shed tears as the ring was attached to his ring finger.

Angga's engagement that arrived - arrived. It inflicts a wound on the heart of Dina's lover. Angga hopes this is only an engagement and will never be anchored to a wedding.
