Dian hugged her moist pillow roll because of the melt of tears. Since returning home from the event ngunduh mantu Mas Septian feeling chaotic. How hurt he was to see the young man he had been after sitting down with a foreign woman in this village.
Inevitably he admitted Julia was graceful, mature and very worthy of Septian. In his memory, Septian hands that never escaped to embrace Julia as if afraid that his wife was moving a little. It made his heart burn.
Dian's cry grew louder, her mind being thrown to the events of a few months ago. When he overheard the conversation of his mother.

"Sir .. I heard from the bird that Ms. Rahayu was looking for a mate for her youngest baby, the Septian!" Ms. Kades spoke quietly to her husband as if she was afraid that people would hear her.
"Continue?" Mr. Kades knitted his brows.
"We'll just match up with Dian. Even though Dian is young and hasn't finished college, I'm sure she can be a good wife." Miss Kades smiled reassuringly to her husband.
"Hmmm .. I disagree. Dian must at least finish college first. The boy did not yet appear to be independent. Cook can't, some houses can't. How to serve your husband?" Mr. Kades' voice sounded doubtful.
"This father! If he's married to Septian, our son doesn't have to bother. Ms. Rahayu will definitely find a maid. Time has in-laws fish, rice fields everywhere can tell the son of Mr. Kades lives hard!" Miss Kades started to stick.
"Bu Rahayu and Pak Rahmat Segoro are different. They are even though the money is a lot all his children live independently. They are simple people. I'm afraid our children can't bring themselves into their families because we always pamper."
"Just I'll approach Bu Rahayu first. This is a rare opportunity, the youngest son of a beautiful fish and sholeh it must be our daughter-in-law!" Firmly Bu Kades.
Mr. Kades could only shake his head in wonder at the unanimous determination that radiated in his wife's eyes.
Dian is the youngest child of Mr. Kades, she is among the most beautiful and learned girls in his village. Many young villagers wanted to be friends with Dian. But Dian kept her distance from them.
Dian has high standards about men, he only wants to be approached by a rich man, stylish and slang. He currently has a girlfriend. Wibowo's name, sister level on campus. A rude and not handsome man, but the money can make Dian survive.
After hearing the conversation between Father and Mother, Dian tried to remember the figure of Septian being talked about. Dian rarely hangs out with the village boys. Because after High School he spent in the heart of Yogyakarta.
Dian only comes home every Saturday and Sunday. He was really curious about the figure of Septian who said his mother was handsome, kind, sholeh and the son of a rich man in his village.
"There is nothing like that in this village. Am I the one who never saw it?" Dian Muttered.

The next day Dian intended to pry information about her mother's plan to match her to Septian. When her mother was busy watching the soap opera, Dian approached her.
"Kok Dian never saw his son Bu Rahayu whose name is Septian?" Dian threw her body onto the sofa.
"Times?" Ms. Kades' eyes didn't move from the TV.
"Yes Mom. Seriously!"
"The Septian is my son, his work is only at home and to the mosque only. I don't know if he has a job or not. But if in the position he makes what a hard work if his father is a fish, the rice fields are wide. His brothers have all succeeded." Miss Kades replied without taking her eyes off.
"Absolutely, Ms Rahayu is rich, isn't she?" Dian started kepo.
"He is .. You don't see their biggest house in this village. Septian as the youngest child will inherit the mansion!" Bu Kades began to be interested in discussing this topic with his son.
Dian mangosteen, her radar in sniffing rich men need to be questioned this time. It could be that he missed the rare figure of Septian.
"Where can Dian meet Septian Bu?" Dian raised his eyebrows.
"In the mosque, he never misses congregational prayers. Try to pray a little. Often to the mosque maybe Septian can be smitten with you!" Grouse Bu Kades.
"Males ah's! I was the one who approached Bu Rahayu, who knew he was interested in being besan." Dian brushed his curly hair with confidence.
"Hmmm .. Yes, you don't have to teach. I'm going to approach Rahayu's mom." Sahut Bu Kades with a meaningful smile, in his brain he has set a strategy.

"Your son seng seng ragil already has a girlfriend yet?" Shoot Bu Kades to Bu Rahayu after the arrest of RT at the home of one of the residents.
"Yet, why? Want to register as my besan?" Ms. Rahayu joked.
"Yes, I want to. Let's just make your son with my youngest son, Dian." Bu Kades grabbed Bu Rahayu's arm, with Bu Rahayu sitting in a corner so no one could hear their conversation.
"I'll ask Septian first. He was a rather closed child, rarely telling stories about personal problems. If he's interested in your son, I'll come along." Bu Rahayu.
"But you can convince Septian to be with my son Ma'am .… " Mrs Kades is smiling intimidatingly.
"I can't afford to. All my children seek their soul mates of their own free will. Match only legitimate children. But if my son doesn't want to, you don't get mad." Answer Ms. Rahayu.
"If we find your son with my son. They don't know each other." Bu Kades insisted on launching his mission.
"Hehehehe, thank you Ms. Rahayu. I also will not make sense, all we return to our children." Sahut Bu Kades with sparkling eyes.

Mr. Kades and Dian came on Sunday afternoon as promised. Dian wears jeans and a long-sleeved shirt that is deliberately not buttoned on the front. In order to look a tight tanktop that wraps its slim and toned body. Her thick, curly hair was tied to a ponytail.
Mr and Si Mbok welcomed their arrival in a friendly manner. They were busy talking to Mr. Kades' mother.
While Dian who is not very good at carrying herself just sits quietly while playing her phone. He doesn't know what to do. But Dian's eyes were busy watching the figure of Septian who was fanning grilled fish with his brother.
"Hmmm. Now that she's just seen," Dian spoke inwardly.
Bu Kades poked Dian's thigh, coded for Dian to approach Septian. Dian sighed heavily, reluctantly having to take the trouble to impress Septian. Though all this time no need to try, he always approached men first.
Dian crouched down in front of Septian who was burning fish.
"Hi Mas .... " Dian throws her sweet smile while giving her hands to shake hands.
"Hi." When Septian returned, he cupped his hands in front of his chest. Would not welcome the girl's greeting.
"Oh, open the muhrim huh?" Dian pulled his hand with embarrassment.
"My name is Dian. What's his name?" Ask Dian pleasantries.
"Septian." Answer's short.
"Is there anything I need to help you with?" Dian asked in a deliberately softened voice.
"No, there's a lot of smoke. You better sit with my mom there." Septian replied without looking at Dian's face, only his hands were moving in the direction his Mother was sitting.
Dian felt offended not being noticed. He soon got up and rejoined his mother. He did not want to have to sit with his mother Septian who was busy babbling his son.
"Basarly expensive selling guy!" Sizzle Dian manyun.
Until the fish burning event after Septian did not once pay attention to Dian. He even thought the girl did not exist. Not that he didn't understand what the girl meant to approach him. He realized that the girl was very beautiful, but unfortunately did not get into his criteria.
Before the Maghrib fish-burning event is over. Father and Mother Kades resigned with a face sumringah. While Dian's face already looks like she wants to quickly go from there. Mr and the Mbok equip them with some fresh fish to take home.
As soon as they got out of sight Si Mbok immediately approached Septian.
"So what do you think of Mr. Kades' son. Beautiful right?" Tempta the Mbok.
"It's pretty, but I don't like it." Answer the upset Septian.
"Kok your face like you're not happy?" The Mbok caught the signal from his son's face.
"Too aggressive, Tian doesn't like it!" Answer Septian firmly.
"So what do you want Tian to be. Don't be too picky. You are my unmarried son. My wish before dying, I still had time to see your granddaughter!" mbok sounded annoyed.
"I'm sorry Tian Mbok. The name of the heart cannot be forced. My people have not been forced? Mbok do not worry, my soul mate has been arranged by God. Be patient." Tian replied gently stroking his Mbok shoulder.
"Astaghfirullah …. " The Mbok spontaneously rubbed his face, aware of his error.
"Yes Mbok also apologized for urging you. Actually, this is because Mbok feels bad about Bu Kades if you reject his child," continued the Mbok.
"Tell me the same Miss Kades who is actually Mbok. I have no interest in his son. Her son is beautiful, young. There must be a lot of people who want to be with him. Don't wait for an answer from me." Answer Tian flat.
"Yes, later the Mbok think about how to convey the same Bu Kades so as not to offend him." The Mbok pinched his suddenly dizzy head.
"Si Mbok anyway .. want to match but do not ask what criteria I want to be like." Septian made a pouting face.
"What do you want him to be?" The Mbok stroked the hair of his beloved youngest child.
"The shalihah, at least have a veil, want to be invited to learn religion. Simple right?" Septian smiled revealing his neat teeth.
"Well, Mbok knows. Mbok will not urge you anymore. Sorry son," replied the Mbok stroking his soft Septian cheeks.
In Bu Rahayu's heart was worried about compiling a polite rejection sentence for Bu Kades.
"May they not be offended …. " The Mbok's sigh released a heavy breath.
