Surya who is still in the room Mr. Andik. Unable to speak. His throat felt dry like he was unable to swallow his saliva. He was worried about accepting or rejecting.
"The promise is like a debt that must be kept, will you accept the repayment of the debt from me?" said Mr. Andik with a face full of hope Surya received this matchmaking.
"But, Sir ! You just got to know me. How can you decide unilaterally. Does your child agree, and what about the feelings of your other family members?" ask Surya while looking for ways not to offend Mr. Andik.
"Don't worry, I'm the head of a family where every decision I make is inviolable. My son must have complied with my request." explained Mr. Andik.
"I know, you are a good young man, it is not wrong sir Heru betrothed his son to my son." Inner sir Andik.
"But I haven't gotten a decent job for my capital in a household. How can I support your child later." explained Surya.
"You take it easy, the assets of this company used to be me and your father were the owners. Because he went out of town and never came back. Finally I managed myself and you can see for yourself now the form of this company" said Mr. Andik while stretching out his hands showing his current power.
"No sir, I don't want to take that which is not my right. I want to earn from my own sweat." said Surya full of emphasis.
"If such a thing could be arranged. How'd you decide?" asked Mr. Andik urged Surya, he was confused himself to refuse.
" Give me some time, I'd like to ask my mother for permission first. I don't want to disappoint my mother's feelings if I decide for myself without asking her first." replied Surya.
"Oh yeah, how's your mom doing? Last met when she was pregnant with your sister." asked Mr. Andik as he picked up the phone to call his secretary.
"Alhamdulillah, my mother is healthy." replied Surya briefly. He can take a little time. Honestly he still does not want to marry young, he wants a career first.
"What is he busy now? Work where?" ask Mr. Andik again.
" Mom worked as a maid in a compound near where we lived ."
"Was your sister?" ask Mr. Andik.
"Still in middle school, sir." said Surya.
"Please bring the money I asked for to my office!" said Mr. Andik to his secretary when the phone connection was connected.
Soon the same secretary as the woman who brought the coffee came in.
"It's Sir." The secretary handed over the cash and left Mr. Andik's room.
"This is Surya, the money I borrowed to pay for the cab." handed over ten hundred thousand bills and put them on the table. Surya stared at that much money.
"This is too much sir, it was only one hundred and fifty thousand" said Surya who was still dumbfounded to look at the money, with a number of that for what was given to him.
"Yes, the rest you give to your mother and sister."
"But, sir, it's a lot of money."
"Have taken! " mr. Andik took the money on the table and put the money by force in the hands of Surya.
"And this is my business card. And don't forget to tell me as soon as possible. Because I can't wait anymore. To make Mr. Heru calm in nature there. Don't take long to make a decision!" pinta Pak Andik while patting Surya's shoulder. Surya received the card and kept it in his shirt pocket.
"Yes sir, thank you. I will negotiate first with my mother." said Surya while accepting by force.
" I'm saying yes, sir!" surya resigned after bowing her head a sign of respect she got up from the chair.
" Yes, be careful on the road and thank you for the help" said Mr. Andik.
Surya headed for the parking lot, wearing a jacket and wearing a helmet on his head. Soon he started the engine.
"The problem with Tika is not finished yet, even the additional problem must marry the child of people who do not know what the person is like." inwardly Surya, he came home with a feeling of doubt and doubt .
"Later tonight try I pray istikharah, that way I can choose between accepting or rejecting." inner Surya again.

At night at Surya's house
"Mom, this afternoon I met Mr. Andik. Did you ever hear his name?" tanya Surya started a chat with her mother after finishing dinner together.
"Sir Andik...!"said Surya's mother who has the name Desy while remembering the past.
"Pad's old friends before dad moved to the city." continued Surya explained.
" So on the road I helped him because he did not bring a wallet to pay for a taxi." explained Surya while taking one million from his wallet.
"What is this, Surya. You receive this much reward. "mum Desi stared intently at Surya, "Even if we are poor we have self-esteem Son, you must not behave like that. Give me back the money tomorrow!" his mother said a little offended because Surya got so much in return.
"Mom, I initially refused. Mr. Andik said that the rest of the money to pay for the taxi was told to give it to mother and Anis." explained Surya. His mother was dumb, although she wanted to admit the money was very necessary but her mother maintained her self-esteem.
"This money, make me!" Anis grabbed the money while smiling widely while cleaning the dining table.
Desy's mother shed tears, Surya stood up and embraced her mother.
"Mom, I also understand mother's current feelings. Think of it as a windfall for the mother for Anis school fees." persuaded Surya, he knew that his mother's work would not be possible in one month could get as much money as Surya got from Pak Andik.
"I'm sorry my son, you should be able to live happily like your other friends, can live in a luxurious place and eat well" said his mother sadly.
"Surya happy ma'am.bisa raised with affection even without a father. Simple life is better for me." said Surya then kissed his mother's forehead.
"There's something Surya wants to tell Mom." Surya ventured to express his heart. She wiped away the tears on her mother's cheek.
"What?" his mother said as she wiped the rest of her tears.
"Look Mom, the late father and Mr. Andik once promised." Surya stopped his speech and pulled a chair and sat facing his mother while tightly grasping her hand.
"What promise?" ask mom Desy curious.
"Mother, you know that we promise to be kept, right?"surya said with the hope that his mother was not surprised. He started out a little scared too if his mother was angry.
"True, that's what mom always taught you and your sister. A promise is a debt, as long as we live and before it is paid off our lives will not be quiet." explained his mother.
"That promise is to marry me to her son Ma'am..." Surya was relieved to be able to convey the mandate of Mr. Andik this afternoon.
"What , get married!" her mother was aghast and then stood up accidentally the chair she was sitting on was upside down.
Surya just nodded and did not dare to say anymore.

"Papa, I've got a boyfriend and I don't want to get married. I'm not a kid anymore. I can choose who my future husband will be. I want a career first." said Tika with a high tone rejected the request of Mr. Andik.
"Whatever, papa doesn't care. If you do not accept this matchmaking do not expect you to get papa's inheritance. And all the company assets will never be able to enjoy. I'll drop you off this family list. Your ATM card will block you. Don't get a monthly ration and don't set foot in this house." Threatening Mr. Andik firmly and while staring intently at Tika, this threat could have conquered the spoiled Tika and matre.
Tika cried so. The atmosphere in the family room is heating up. Tasya's mother was unable to do anything. Tika ran to the kitchen and came back with a knife.
"I don't want to be betrothed to Pa, than I'm married to Papa's choice I'd rather kill myself" Tika said threateningly as she attached a knife to her left wrist.
"Don't Tika, it's a sin, son !" His mother ran up to Tika crying. Looking to Mr. Andik to undo his intentions.
"Stop Ma, if Mama takes another step forward, I'll scratch my hand." snapped Tika at her mother who tried to snatch the knife.
"Good, continue on !" snapping Mr. Andik, he knew Tika was just pretending.
"Father!" mother shouted.
"Didn't papa love me. Why didn't papa stop me? " inner Tika jerked.
"Why stop. Papa knows you won't be that close" said his father.
"Well, your father meant well. Not always be betrothed it's sad. Your papa's choice must be perfect. You are also beautiful. Imagine if your name was crossed off the family list, you would be in trouble, living alone. Eat and where will you stay ? Do you want to?" persuade Tasya's mother.
Tika shook her head then wiped her tears.
"Alright Pa, I'm willing but on one condition!" pinta Tika, Mr. Andik smiling won.
"Say!" said Mr. Andik, finally his bluff succeeded.
"This marriage no one should know, I want him other than as my husband he should also be my maid." Pinta Tika then ran upstairs to her room. Go in and slam the door hard.
"As long as he wants to be enough. She did not know who the young man would be her husband. For a long time he will accept the man as well." said Mr. Andik sure.
