The sky began to cloudy but did not discourage Navysah and Maya to shop for Raffa's needs that will soon be engaged.
"Alhamdulillah, my handsome father will soon be engaged. Hopefully everything goes well Nav"
"Aamiin, I'm also very fond of finally Kinan my man-to-be. Nowadays it is difficult to find a good daughter-in-law and love parents, sometimes they love their children but cannot accept their parents" Navysah said.
"But if her in-laws PE'A model is like you, I guarantee all the girls will be queuing up to be your daughter-in-law, hehehe" Maya lapsed
"Don't say I'm PE'A. You're the same time." He shook Maya's head and they laughed at each other.
"Yes, we are old. Richard is married and I hope to be given a grandson soon. Richi lives, but he has no sign - even the first sign of the Rappol" he murmured
"His name is also May's soul mate, you don't betayain Richi. Let him achieve his dream first, become a great dermatologist. I believe he can"
" Yes he is smart but inherited the gene sablengku also hehehe" helohnya. "Eh, Nav mate Richi and the princess. I also want to be made by you, your child will be beautiful - beautiful"
"Oh No.!, have fellow PE'A who is the joke material of the Bima"
"Let's go, Bima mah rese. People are really just in becandain let alone half-sane people like us."
And Navysah just put his shoulder out.
They go into the store of clothes, bags, shoes and cosmetics and buy everything they need, so it doesn't feel like time goes by so quickly.
" Which ring to choose? "asked Maya. He saw so many jewels and sparkling diamonds." Who wants a fiancee is not invited anyway, so complicated. You know the size of Kinan's ring and Raffa's not Nav"
"Well, is this a good one?" ask Navysah. He showed a pair of diamond rings with one jewel in the middle.
"That's like a wedding ring. Try you call Raffa, let him choose"
Navysah called her son on the ring the second he just hooked up with. Raffa was so nervous because since morning he said he would go with Rio because there was something urgent, but actually he only slept all day at Rio's house and was just lazy - lazy there.
"Yes, why?" he asked, He deliberately video call outside the page to make it look more convincing that he was at Rio's house.
"You're still at Rio Nak's house?"
"Yes mah, this new nyampe had stopped by Antoni's house first" he said with a crybaby, but behind the screen his cellphone looks Rio who is sneering at him.
"Oh, this is my mom at the jewelry store, you want to choose which one" Navysah pointed the camera at the jewelry so that her son could choose which one he liked.
"It's up to mom" he said on the other end of the phone
" Try which of your choices" he asked again
Raffa looked up at the jewelry, and he pointed at random "That one, you know, simple people don't like to overdo it"
He saw a set of jewels with not too many gems.
"Dear, you've already hung up on me, Assalamualaikum"
"Walaikumm salam" he said with relief.
" Dh...!, who wants a proposal even sleep on my club. Lu how the hell, want fiancee even not spirit" said Rio
"Had Yo, don't take Kinan's kayak anyway" he went into Rio's room and fell back to sleep.
" Yes, but I didn't lie either. Look at your shirt, top of a cool shirt under a shabby glove. Mana says just came again when the slumber mulu. "
Raffa laughs at his weird-looking self, since his mother called he immediately got out of bed and just tidied up the top." I forgot Yo, it was straight out hehehe "
On the other hand,
" Your son's taste is good too. The model is simple but good really" He saw the jewelry Raffa chose.
"He does know Kinan's taste" Navysah said with a smile.
"Emang Sultan well, just buy a complete set of jewelry especially if it's a wedding" said Maya while shaking her head. And Navysah just smiled at him.
Finally they came home with a lot of groceries and with a relieved smile.

Day H engagement,
The Navysah family and their entourage are now heading to Kinan's house. They are now compact to wear batik with matching colors in blue with batik jlamprang motif typical of Pekalongan. Along the way Raffa just pouted and threw his face out of the car, how did he not get upset. The plan he made for a simple engagement has now turned out to be special. Both parents invited some relatives and employees to join the group.
Navysah was embarrassed to see his son silent and not excited. "You why the hell son, frown constantly" he asked.
"Mama ngeselin!, I've said we get engaged simply no need to be luxurious. Where ten more cars had not been that many parcels" he exhaled his coarse breath.
"It's been simple, son, we brought a close relative and some confidant mama. If you invite all a thousand people who come you know" he said not to lose.
Davian glanced at his son who was not smiling from the start. He also felt surprised why Raffa wanted to be engaged to Kinan, it felt strange for him especially when his son preferred England rather than America.
"Raffa, smile napa Nak" asked Navysah, "Strue smile, this is your happy day. It's handsome to wear batik so dinget first when Raihan's father proposed to mama, handsome like you this". He didn't realize his words would make someone take a sharp glance at him.
"Just like that, miss the same Deceased" cynical Davian, said,
" Mas Davian dong's gang, that's the story first. Now that my husband is the most handsome" he stroked her husband's arm so as not to get angry.
Raffa rolled his eyes lazily. He always breathed his long breath and closed his eyes for a moment, hoping that everything would pass quickly.
"Relax bro, this is just a fiancee not yet married. Lu was so nervous" seduced Rio, he tried to melt the mood of his best friend.
"Gue deg-degan shucks!, Look everyone's looking at me." she whispered.
He tried to smile forcefully, revealing his white teeth. " This must be the Kinan family's plan of holding a slightly excessive engagement" he murmured inwardly, he scratched his slightly dizzy head.
After the reception from the male and female parties, the presenter invited Kinan to enter the park and meet with the family of his future fiancee.
She looks very beautiful with a pink kebaya dress with a sabrina model neck piece so that it looks smooth back, with a small bun neatly arranged to add to her charm.
"Allah Kinan is very beautiful" praised Navysah, "Beautiful yes mas" he asked the husband.
"Beauty you at our wedding" seduced Davian by slapping his smile.
"Skewers.." she said, pinching her husband's waist and smiling.
"The dragon, the dreadlocks.." He tried to correct his wife's wrong sentence.
"Well, it's tempeh" he said again
"Know that which is not tempeh." he weaved his lips. At an important event like this, his wife can still joke.
Raffa only looked at Kinan for a moment then lowered his head.
"Oh, it turns out the prospective man is shy of the audience" the host teased, "Gimana masnya, mbak Kinan really beautiful right?" continued again.
"If you believe you want to be left abroad, not money?" god again, "What to marry directly". There was laughter from the whole family present.
"Mas Raffa, I envy you as young as this dare to propose to girls. Beautiful again. May you know the reason, what makes you sure to apply mbak Kinan?" he asked, "I am thirty years old but still single like this, does anyone want me? ". He deliberately diluted the atmosphere to look more relaxed with boisterous laughter some people.
He handed the microphone to Raffa to tell her a little bit about himself" There's no reason to reject Kinan, she's a good girl. And I sure chose it" he said.
" Is there anything else to say "ask the host again
" No, thank you."
He hopes to finish the engagement and go home peacefully.
" Mr Kinan, what makes you sure you accept Raffa's engagement? "asked the host, he handed a microphone to Kinan.
He seemed so nervous to hear the host's question." I. I love her with all my heart" she said shyly. And got claps and boisterous laughter from the whole family.
" Buccins.. Bucin. "shout Rio.
" There is something to say again "ask the host.
He breathed a rough breath, "Raffa, you know I've always depended on you. I'm so happy today that you came to propose to me" she said, "Raffa, this engagement is one step closer to my dream. You know one of my dreams is to become a doctor, but you need to know my other dream is to be the daughter-in-law of Mama Navysah. He's one of the people I love. I promise I will change my attitude and will try to get a doctor's degree so I can be with you. That's what you want. Raffa, will you promise to be faithful and dear to me? I know you'll go far, please make me the only woman in your heart and someday marry me."
Raffa is surprised by Kinan's request to her, he glances at Aunt Ifa who is smiling sweetly at him. Kinan is not the type of person who is good at stringing words, who else is the person who teaches it so smoothly if not mama Ifa himself.Om Shafiq is impossible, he said, he's the kind of person who passively plans like this he wouldn't do.
" Dead you Raffa, stuck in this engagement. Inevitably you have to promise in front of many people" said Rio, but Antoni could still be heard.
"Lu said what Yo" he said pretending not to listen.
"Somewhat" Rio replied
"Raffa, you heard me, right?" ask Kinan.
He was confused and confused about what to do next.
"Oh.., Ah.. That's..." He scratched his head that was not itchy.
"Raffa.." - Kinan, he began to glaze over because Raffa never promised him.
Raffa looked at Kinan, he felt really confused. For him, a promise is a debt that must be kept. He looked back at Aunt Ifa who now looks to pierce a smile. "The Kinan family is amazing, preparing for this engagement very neatly. I didn't expect this to end" he murmured inwardly.
"I Raffa Raihan Akbar promised to be loyal to you, you are the only woman and someday I will marry you. You do not need to worry, focus on college and achieve your goals." said Raffa
Kinan was relieved that Raffa finally said his promise to his family, "Raffa Raihan who I know will always keep his promise, he always holds his word" he continued.
Deg, man,
His heart ached as Kinan said the last sentence. The final sentence that made him not wince. He tried to smile with force.
And the ring exchange procession and the handover of several gift parcels are now completed smoothly.
"Mas, thank you" whispered Khaffi in Raffa's ear. A sentence was thrown in the mouth of a man of comparable age to Khaffa and Khalif.
"Mas keep your promise" he replied in a whisper.
And he just nodded his head.
Davian's family is about to return home, but Raffa asks his family for permission to go in a car with Rio and Antoni.
