Ken followed Mario lazily. One by one the stairs were lowered while holding on to the barrier. As he walked down the stairs, Ken saw Vina sitting on the sofa. Vina looks great taking selfies.

When it was almost at the end of the stairs, suddenly Mario turned around.

"Loh-loh! Went where? ken asked confusedly.

"You meet Vina. I'll go to the room for a second." Mario pats Ken on the shoulder, then steps casually towards his room.

"ah! I'm the one who's gonna have to, deh!" ken protest.

Despite the protests, Ken still stepped up to meet Vina in the living room of Mario's luxury home.

Vina cool selfie with background living room Mario home. Navy gems combined with pink hijab soft floral motifs so suitable to be worn by Vina. Vina's face is polished thin makeup with a choice of nude color lipstick.

"Vin," call Ken.

Vina looked over without lowering her hand. Vina's hand is still holding the smartphone, having prepared for the next portrait.

"Ken! Why are you everywhere? Meet yesterday. I met you this morning. Now see you again!" exclaim Vina.

"Don't let us be fools" Ken chirped as he sat on the sofa.

"Woi! Did you forget, said Mr Nizar? That word is prayer. Do you want your words granted and you're my soul mate?" Nyerocos.

"Dwelling. You don't want to!" firmly Ken.

"Gue is also ogah. That's why the mouth is guarded, dong!" Vina.

"Dam! Your mouth is the one that should be guarded! You want to take my storm? Come on!" Ken stood up while pretending to fold the sleeves of the shirt he was wearing.

"Lu think I'm scared!" Vina also stood up with a defiant face.

Vina glares. Ken also glared. Both Vina and Ken had challenging expressions with their hands ruffled by their waists. The two still maintained a defiant attitude, until Mommy Monika suddenly came.

"Yuhoo! I'm coming!" exclaim Mommy Monika while carrying a tray containing four glasses of orange ice.

Hearing Mommy Monika's voice, Vina quickly sat back in a sweet position. Ken did the same. Ken's shirt sleeves even tidied up again. A sweet smile was also presented to Mommy Monika who was kind enough to serve her a drink.

Along with that, Mario walked over. A smile and greeting was addressed to Vina.

"Mom. Why four glasses?" mario asked as he looked at the four glasses of orange ice that Mommy Monika had brought.

"Hishihi. This is for this beautiful guest. This one's for Ken. Mommy also made one for Mommy's favorite son," explained Monika while handing a glass of orange ice to Mario.

"Keep, one more?" ask Mario.

"One more for Mommy" Monika said as she took a seat next to Vina. "Mommy also wants to know your friends" he added.

Ken held back his laughter. Mario took a deep breath, then quickly sat down next to Ken. Mario lets Mommy Monika sit with them in the living room.

"What's the matter, Vin?" ask Mario to the point.

"What's going to happen, can I come here?" ask Vina.

Just as Mario was about to respond, Ken interrupted him first.

"It's obvious that Vina's here for nothing. Mau mo-dus same owner of the house," accuse Ken.

"Astaghfirullah, Ken. Really you accuse me of the same Mario mode!" exclaim Vina. "Tante Monik, Vina diphinah!" whinek Vina.

Vina whined while holding Mommy Monika's arm sitting next to her.

Mommy Monika tells Vina not to take heart Ken said. Mommy Monika also says that Ken is just kidding.

"Tuh, horrified! Baperan lu!" yell Ken at Vina.

Vina glared at Ken a little. Vina's lips were even deliberately made to sneeze mimicking Ken's words.

"Vin. I've done a lot of work. What's the need to come here?" ask Mario in a mediocre tone.

Vina smiled sweetly at Mario. After that, Vina's right hand grabbed a medium-sized paper bag that had been placed next to her seat.

All eyes were fixed on the paper bag Vina was carrying. Vina's hand fingers are still cool in fixing the ribbon decoration on the paper bag she carries.

"What's the fuck?" Ken kepo's.

"Isa. This isn't for you!" exclaim Vina.

Vina gave the paper bag to Mommy Monika. A sweet smile is presented along with a paper bag that has changed hands. Mommy Monika happily received the paper bag from Vina.

"Vina heard from Le .... Ahem. I mean from Alenna, if Aunt Monika just came from Germany. Incidentally, Daddy Vina just came from abroad. Keep bringing these. I hope you like Auntie. Vina will be very happy if Auntie likes this gift from Vina," said Vina politely.

Vina almost mentioned Leon's name. Yes, Vina knows about Monika's arrival from Leon. It was Leon who advised Vina to approach Monika.

Mommy Monika likes attention. Therefore, Mommy Monika was so happy to receive gifts from Vina.

"Judek. If so Vina goes home first, Auntie. Let Mario continue his work" said Vina. "Em, Vina's iced orange drinks first. Bismillaahirrahmaanirrahiim."

Glutinous.

Some sips, and a toilet. Vina stood up and said goodbye again. Mommy Monika, Mario, and Ken deliver Vina to the front porch.

Mario and Ken return to the living room first to finish off their orange ice. Mommy Monika followed later.

"Sst, Mario. Looks like Vina has a heart for you" said Mommy Monika as she just returned from the front porch.

"That's fine, Auntie!" Ken answered, allowing.

Mommy Monika smiled seeing the enthusiastic Ken justify his conjecture.

"It's only natural that many have a crush. Mommy's child's face is indeed handsome, independent, even able to develop his own business even though he is still in college" said Monika.

"Bro, tuh praised!" Ken was astonished by Mario's mediocre attitude when praised by his Mommy.

"Hm." The typical word Mario comes out again.

"Saran Mommy, here. You rush to get married. Not much to hang on to the feelings of girls. If they know you're married, they won't put their hearts back on you anymore" Monika suggested. "Don't agree, Mommy?" asked Monika, intending to seek support because Mario did not agree.

"Absolutely agree, Auntie!" Ken enthusiastically responded.

A moment later, Mommy Monika, Mario, and Ken both enjoyed their iced orange halves casually. Not in a hurry like Vina.

"Ehem. Mommy wants to ask, here. Would you prefer Vina or Anjani to be your wife?" ask Monika prank.

Ken's eyes widened to hear it. He was eagerly waiting for his best friend's answer.

A second passed. Mario has not answered Mommy Monika's question. A few more seconds passed, and Mario still did not answer Mommy Monika's question. The next minute, suddenly Mario's facial expression changed. His face was adorned with a smile while giving one name answer.

"Anjani" answered Mario.

The sofa cushion landed right on Mario's face after Anjani's name was referred to as an option.

"The wedding puck there!" yell at Ken, then laugh.

"Ken!" exciting Mario.

War sofa cushions become a treat for Mommy Monika. Busy-busy. That's how Ken and Mario made their friendship since high school.

***

Evening day arrived. Monika calls Mario from the kitchen. Two calls, but no word yet from Mario. Only when the third call was called, there was an answer from Mario.

Mario walks over to Mommy Monika in the kitchen. In the kitchen there are already two cooks who struggle with vegetables to prepare dinner. Mommy Monika doesn't help the cook there. He made other dishes, and not for the residents of the house to enjoy.

"Come here!" Monika asks Mario to come closer.

Mario who was just standing in the kitchen doorway walked over. Now it is clearly visible by the cake pan just exuded from the oven. The smell of sponge cake instantly filled the kitchen.

"It looks good" said Mario.

"Surely, dong. It was Mommy's. Well, now you deliver this cake to Anjani's house, "monika orders.

Mario raised his eyebrows. He was astonished by Mommy Monika's sudden orders.

"Mom. Anjani is in Jogja," said Mario reminded Mommy Monika.

"Yes, know. Yes love his family. It is a good relationship with our family. Have you not been there since your wedding plans were canceled?" ask Monika.

"Not really. Some time ago Mario same friends to visit Anjani's house," explained Mario.

"Eh?" Monika did not expect it. Naturally he did not know, because he was only a few days in Indonesia.

"Just deliver it, yeah. Shh. Mode dikit. Let you become more familiar with the Anjani family. Hihi." Monika chuckles.

Although feeling strange with Mommy Monika's thoughts, Mario still agreed with her request. Mario respects his Mommy. As long as he doesn't tell her what's weird, Mario will.

***

The Anjani house.

Uncle Sam's stall closed early. After Maghrib, there will be a weekly study of RT mothers. It just so happened that Uncle Sam's house was a chance. Being a good opportunity for Sarah to get to know the residents in her RT environment.

Renal still hasn't come home from school. Sarah was busy sweeping the house, while Uncle Sam was carrying the mats to be installed.

"Roni! Here help me!" Uncle Sam asked Meli's father to help him.

"Ready, Mas!" Meli's father called Uncle Sam Mas.

That afternoon at Uncle Sam's house there were Roni and Fatimah, Meli's parents. The arrival of Roni and Fatimah to Uncle Sam's house to deliver doughnut cakes and risoles ordered by Aunt Sarah for the treats of the study mothers.

"Sarah's sister, my glass is your order?" permission of Fatimah, Meli's mother.

"Yes. It's in the kitchen cabinet, yeah." Sarah answered while continuing to sweep the floor of the house.

Uncle Sam, Aunt Sarah, Roni, and Fatimah also gotong royong preparing for the lecture. Sometimes Roni acts silly, but that is precisely what brings joy among them. It is only fitting if Meli has a cheerful nature nan somplak. It's all downhill from his father.

Different from Fatimah, Meli's mother. She is smiling and friendly, but sometimes likes to be anxious with her husband's attitude. Fatimah is used to receiving cake orders for events. While her husband, after several years ago exposed to PHK from a factory to idle long enough, now has an outlet in the market that sells various kinds of nuts.

The business that is now undertaken Roni and Fatimah can not be separated from the help of Uncle Sam. Included capital. Although Uncle Sam looks simple and looks relaxed taking care of the stalls in his house, behind it all Uncle Sam is a dirty person. Paddy fields and fields everywhere. Hence, Uncle Sam easily bore the tuition fees of Anjani and Meli at once.

"Ouch. Where did I put my motorcycle keys, huh?" Roni's confused. He repeatedly reached into his pants pocket.

"Dad is a habit. Just like Meli. Champions if you participate in the Olympics carelessness of goods," said Fatimah.

"Don't that, honey. Let's help!" roni Pinta.

Five minutes passed, and the couple's four adults were busy looking for Roni's motor keys.

"Roni! How did you forget! The motor key still hangs on the motor. Good thing this house is safe" cried Uncle Sam.

A gleeful face immediately filled Roni's face. Fatimah, Roni's hijab wife can only shake her head. Meanwhile, Aunt Sarah has been chuckling since Uncle Sam pointed at the key of the motorcycle that still hangs on his motorbike.

"Hehe. Sorry to confuse many people," said Roni by throwing his motorcycle keys into the air.

Roni took the time to look at the rearview motorbike. He highlighted his thin mustache.

"Darling, it's time to shave. The mustache began to thicken. Tell Meli to bring a shaving device from Jogja, yes!" roni exclaimed without turning his face away from the rearview mirror.

"Shamefully. Time yes Anjani same Meli to Jogja, souvenirs requested shaver. Shame on his friend to know, Dad! Mending I ask bakpia aja same Meli so it can be eaten together. Our only daughter is eating!" Fatimah kept on saying.

"Roneys. Take a shaver in my stall over there!" tell Uncle Sam.

"Hehe. Thank you very much, Mommy." Roni cengar-cengar's.

Uncle Sam and Roni now began to spread out the mat and put it neatly on the floor. While Aunt Sarah and Fatimah immediately tidied up the terrace of the house, because usually many study mothers who choose to sit on the terrace while 'ngadem' looking for the wind.

There was a pair of young people walking hand in hand through Uncle Sam's house. Suddenly Uncle Sam saw it.

"Mending directly marriage if you already like. From the status is not clear and so the neighbor's talk. Later if someone proposes to Anjani again, I will schedule his wedding day. What kind of daughter are you, Ron? Melies. Has anyone ever proposed?" ask Uncle Sam.

Fatimah chuckled at Uncle Sam's question. Roni's attitude is not much different from Fatimah.

"Not yet, Mas. Anybody wants to be with my daughter. She is sloppy like her father, but beautiful like her mother. Hehe, isn't it, honey? You pretty?" goda Roni to his wife.

Fatimah pretended not to hear, and was cool in helping Sarah move some mini flower pots to the edge, so that the terrace would look more spacious.

"If someone suddenly proposes to Meli, will you accept?" ask Uncle Sam.

"I'm up to my wife, whether I'm welcome or not." Roni casually replied.

"Who? It's up to me, anyway. It's up to me, dong!" sahut Fatimah's.

"It's up to you" said Roni.

"As far as you are!" Fatimah returned.

"Sst. Leave it to God. Beres right?" Aunt Sarah mediates.

Not long after. A fancy car pulled up in Uncle Sam's yard. All eyes were on the luxurious car that looked slimy. The figure that came down afterwards made Aunt Sarah, Roni, and Fatimah more fascinated because of his handsome face and sweet smile.

"Assalamu'alaikum," said Mario as he got out of his car, carrying a sponge cake and other objects that Mommy Monika brought.
