The night Meli and Azka make their proposal, Juno tells Ken what he knows. Juno tells Ken that Meli is making an application with a handsome young man from Jogja.
“Ah is real? Time no wind no rain Meli suddenly proposed people, anyway.” Ken doesn't believe Juno's story.
“Truly, Mas. I asked Renal yesterday. It was Uncle Sam's son and Aunt Sarah.” Juno reassured Ken.
Juno completes the story. He tells Ken that he last night visited Anjani's house to give souvenirs from Ma. At that time Anjani did not tell anything about Meli. However, Ken only found out when he returned to Anjani's house to give the other souvenir packages left behind.
[Flashback ON]
“Astaghfirullah, why can I forget the same package?” Juno who was halfway home remembered the other package.
On the front of the Juno motor there are several packages in a black crackle container whose size is almost similar. Some of these are dinners for Juno and Ken. Tadi Juno only gave to Anjani a package of crackles containing foodstuffs only, while other packages containing the robe of Ma forgot to be given because the placement was separated.
Juno motor reversing direction. He returned to Anjani's house. Along the way Juno prayed that Anjani would not go to Meli's house. However, Juno's hopes of returning to meet Anjani are in vain. Anjani has gone to Meli's house. In the house Juno only found Renal who was sitting on the front porch of the house.
“Mas Juno, yes?” ask Renal who already knows Juno.
“Iya, Deck. Mbak Anjani has left, yes?” juno asked as he stepped towards the terrace.
“Iya, Mas. Already departed,” replied Renal.
Juno asks permission to sit on the terrace accompanying Renal. Renal nodded in agreement and allowed Juno to sit on the other porch seat.
“This, Mas Juno forgot to give this crackle to your mother. Please give it, yes. It's the robe of Ma in the village. Juno had completely forgotten. Hehe.” Juno was grinning as she admitted to forgetting herself.
“Mas Juno forgot because he was busy seeing Mbak Anjani, right? Hayo ngaku aja Renal,” urges Renal to Juno admit it.
“Hehe, kok know, sih.” Juno did not deny at all.
“Yes you know, Mas. But mending Mas Juno give it up, deh. Father same mother prefers the same Om Ganteng who was here to bring a car,” Renal explained innocently.
“Om Screwdriver?” juno Lirih.
Juno immediately guessed that what Renal meant was Mario. However, at that time Juno was immediately wise to take a stance by not reacting excessively in front of Renal who was actually still an elementary school child.
“Em, if you may know Mbak Anjani did yes at Aunt Meli's house. Uncle Sam was with your mom too, right?” Juno picked up another topic.
“Abi Meli wants to apply, Mas.” Renal bluntly.
“Ha? Any timing? Where do you know?” Juno continued to ask.
“Mbak Anjani himself who told Renal. Still tomorrow for the show. Now Anjani's mother, father and mother just help there.” Renal explained in a plain tone SD child.
Juno did not doubt Renal's explanation. Juno believes children of Renal's age are less likely to lie. Juno nodded while digesting Renal's explanation. His mind at that moment was immediately fixed on Dika.
“Dek, thanks for the info. Juno came home first. Don't forget to give this to Anjani. Say it from Ma.” Juno orders, then scrambles the Renal hair plan.
“God willing to give Renal,” Renal replied while receiving the package from Juno.
Juno returns home. He drove his motorbike home. There is Ken who still looks busy taking care of the shoe order from Mario's olshop. Even though Sunday night, Ken still diligently takes care of the shoe order because the wages given by Mario are quite large.
Seeing that Ken was so serious about the shoe order, Juno decided not to tell a story. Ken put down Ken's food package, then headed for his room.
Juno paced around in her room. He thought as well as weighing whether to contact Dika or not. After a few minutes passed, Juno finally decided to call Dika. Juno knows a fact about Dika, although Dika is often noisy with Meli, but Dika keeps a feeling of love for Meli.
“I have one news. Promise to be wise when I tell you this news,” Juno told Dika by phone.
“Tell me, what.” Dika wants Juno not convoluted.
“Meli will be getting married soon. Tomorrow's the proposal,” Juno explained.
No answer from across. Juno guessed that Dika must be surprised to hear from him.
“Hem. What?” Dika finally made a sound after a few seconds of silence.
“You all right?” ask Juno about it. Juno sure very heart Dika certainly why-why after getting news about Meli who will soon get married.
“God willing,” Reply Briefly.
“Good. Em, just play at Mas Ken's house if you want.” Juno.
“Good. Thank you, Jun.” Dika's voice sounded softly across there.
Juno ended her phone call to Dika. Juno still didn't tell Ken anything. He plans to give it to me tomorrow.
Unbeknownst to Juno, Dika is upset at his boarding house. There was a pain he felt even though there were no tears accompanying him. Dika is heartbroken. As much as possible Dika accepted the fact about Meli who was about to get married, but still failed. It takes time for that.
Intending to entertain himself, Dika went out while looking for dinner. However, instead of looking for dinner, Dika's motorbike was instead directed towards Meli's house. Without turning off the engine and still sitting on the motorbike, Dika turned to look at Meli's house. Wry smile. His hands are also clenched.
“Mel, apparently you will get married,” muttered Dika.
Dika has absolutely no guts. Dika realized that he did not mean anything at all in Meli's life. Slowly Dika's fist stretched. Dika set the breath while saying Istighfar.
“I have to ikhlash,” said Dika lirih.
The motorbike was returned to leave Meli's house.
[Flashback OFF]
Ken snapped Juno's head as he finished telling the story. Ken did not think Juno could tell such an important news to Dika by phone.
“Aw! Ken is a great habit of my head!” Juno stroked his head.
“Lagian did not think first what side effects Dika felt when he knew something as important as this.” Ken protests over Juno's reckless attitude.
“Yes most just heartbroken, Mas. Yesterday I immediately thought Dika, so I called him.” Juno defended himself.
“If Dika does reckless how? Or maybe hurt himself.” Ken thinks nothing.
It was Juno's turn to prank Ken's head for negative thinking about the attitude Dika would take.
“When it's rational, Mas. I'm sure a little heartbreak won't have any effect on her college. Know for yourself Dika it crazy learn.” Juno explained the facts about Dika.
“Everything someone with a study, will still feel heartbroken when his love claps one hand, Jun.” Ken has his own views.
“Positive thinking, Mas. We help Dika to move on. Agree?” Juno Idea.
Ken agreed. He was still worried about Dika. However, on the other hand Ken believes that Dika would be wise in addressing his unrequited feelings.
“The proposal is tonight?” ask Ken again.
“Iya. Tonight Deli application.” Juno.
“Hopefully Meli and her future husband soon SAH. Let Dika have a strong reason to immediately move on from Meli,” explained Ken.
Juno. She also hopes Meli and her future husband are soon SAH.
While Ken and Juno are busy talking about Dika, Meli-Azka is holding a proposal event. More than that, Meli-Azka wedding will take place in a short period of time, which is an interval of a week from the application event.
