"Don't do that, I don't feel good about you, son. Mom's a hassle".

"Mom, don't be. This is Abi's mother. Mother and Father have sacrificed many things for Abi and Abi will not be able to repay all that. If you really want to open catering or anything, you say to Abi, yes. Abi promised to take care of everything for Mom. Abi asked for three to five days yes, Mom", Abhimanyu rested his head on the shoulder of the mother.

"Honey, when should we tell Abhimanyu about our wedding plans?", asked Laras who was enjoying dinner together with Jaka.

"Later contact Abi to make an appointment. It's not good if you tell him only by phone or a short message", replied Jaka gently.

Since graduating from college, Jaka and Laras worked at the same company. Their relationship, which was originally only a college friend, then office friends, has now become a couple who in a matter of days will even soon be married.

"Yes. Hhhh .. I still pity Abi if I remember the story three years ago. If two matchmaking Anika, we certainly can double date yes, dear", Laras nostalgic.

She smiled, "We never know God's plan. We never thought about tuk tuk close even to want to marry gini?".

"Yes yes. God's plan is sometimes so magical" Laras continued.

They kept talking, reminiscing about the past while on campus. Occasionally the laughter of the two echoed, intensifying closeness and strengthening feelings.
