During the trip Vierra prefers silence, occasionally he looked at the car glass. Reno who was focused on driving felt bad, the silence made her stiff and awkward. Reno glanced a few times with her eyes on her tail, while Vierra was still focused on looking out onto the street.
"Ra.." call Reno break the silence, exact red light and require it to stop, just right it was also Reno staring fully at Vierra.
"What?" Vierra looked at him with a puzzled face, as if waiting for a response from Reno.
"What do you think? When I looked outside, I should have dong. Street time is more beautiful than my face hmm...." Vierra's forehead shriveled, then the next second laughed softly. Reno who looked along smiled, finally the girl laughed.
"Lebay you! Let me, my people would rather see the road than see you" Vierra said.
"Why? Am I not charming in your eyes?" Vierra silently stared fixedly at Reno's face, as if researching the gesture of the man's face.
Reno restarts his car when the green light is on, then turns his gaze forward but occasionally glances at Vierra.
"It's a habit."
"What is ordinary? I'm not that handsome? Who was that guy with?" ask Reno again urgently. It seems that Vierra's answer did not make him satisfied, should his future wife praise him so that Reno more confident even though he admitted that he was handsome without Vierra's praise, even though he did admit that he was handsome without Vierra's praise, but he wanted to hear the praise from the ranum lips of the future wife.
"Jordan you mean?"
"Yes, he means me."
"Hands with him," said Vierra casually. Honestly after saying that, he turned his gaze to the car glass, trying to cover the red hue on his cheek. Nervousness accompanied by a tight heartbeat really makes it look clumsy. If you can be honest Vierra should praise Reno, but because the sense of prestige is still high, making the praise just swallowed in his mind.
Reno was silent without making a sound again, inexplicably Vierra's speech made her less excited. What's wrong? thought so. Reno drove the car a little faster, until it was finally in the cemetery.
Citt...
"This is your father's grave?"
"Yes. Come on out," replied Vierra. Reno shut off the engine and got out of the car. His eyes look in all directions, this cemetery area if the afternoon is still a little crowded evidenced some food vendors in some places.
"There's meatballs." Vierra followed Reno's line of sight. A peddler of meatballs around the middle of mangkrak quite far from where he stood.
"Then why?" ask Vierra confused.
"I'm hungry." Reno grinned at the dimples, it was so sweet Vierra thought.
"Later on! We're here for the pilgrimage, Ren!"
"Yes, I know, don't get mad when the beauty is gone." Vierra thunts pissed off ignoring Reno's flirting. He must get used to all of Reno's seduction, try to control his heartbeat and move on.
"Vierra! Reno! Come here!" Mrs. Dian shouted a little loudly with his right hand waving.
"Yes mother." Vierra approached her mother and Reno followed her from behind.
Mrs. Dian walked first to guide the direction to the grave of the deceased husband, followed by Vierra in the back, while Reno and Jordan walked further like giving distance. Jordan stopped making Reno who was behind him come to a stop.
"What's your purpose in marrying Vierra? I know you're Amily's best friend and you're a great man, but looking at you, I wonder why you want to marry Vierra? What's your real purpose? If you intend to get married, then leave Vierra after that, you better break your intentions from now on."
"What do you mean?" ask Reno. His tone sounded cold, hearing Jordan's words made his blood boil. His body was heating up, it seemed like the man had managed to provoke his emotions, but Reno tried to hold him back.
"I'm not sure you're really serious about marrying Vierra." Reno now understood, and then approached Jordan.
"What's the deal with you? Do you think I'm messing with Vierra? You think I can play a wedding for a purpose, is that what you mean?"
"Yes, that's what I mean," Jordan replied in a stern interjection.
"My goal is just one, which is to make Vierra happy. You don't have to worry, because I married Vierra out of love, if I wanted more or what you had in mind. You're wrong, man!" Reno chuckled as if to give an affirmation so that Jordan would not underestimate him.
"You don't have to take care of my life. After marriage, Vierra will be my duty. Better take care of your relationship with my best friend. Hearing this, I doubt. Is your relationship with Amily okay?"
As if he had lost a landslide, Jordan shut up. His hands clenched, trying to hold back the emotions within him. Reno laughed softly, it seemed like his words were potent.
"You people! Why are you still there, come on!" The two turned towards Vierra who called out to him half-cried. Reno decided to walk first through Jordan's body, then Jordan tried to control his emotions and went back to the very back.
Until he reached the tombstone of his father Vierra. There's writing.
Bagas Tri Atmadja

"This is the grave of the late father-in-law?" asked Reno who stared fixedly at the writing on the tombstone.
"Yes, Reno boy. This is the grave of the late mother's husband." Reno nodded in understanding, then without being asked he sat down with a smiling crouch rubbing attentively on the tombstone of the deceased.
"Dad, this is Reno Al-Barack. I'm sorry, if I'm late, but I'm here to ask for my father-in-law's blessing to ask for Vierra's daughter. Reno promises to love and love Vierra. Reno will take care and protect her, so ask for my father's prayers so that our marriage will run smoothly and we can live happily."
Vierra touched, she even shed a tear because of her horn. Speech accompanied by sincere promise from Reno made his heart full. There is happiness that arises, accompanied by warmth, somehow because just hearing the words of her future husband is enough to make her confidence that had hesitated is now a belief.
"Son Reno..." Mrs. Dian patted slowly on the right shoulder of the prospective daughter-in-law, accompanied by a moved smile.
"The late mother's husband must have blessed and prayed for your marriage to Vierra. My husband must be there very happy because he saw his daughter will get married, especially getting a husband-to-be like Reno," said Ny. Dian, now the mother looks at Vierra and smiles.
"Vierra, here son!" call him, make Vierra squat next to Reno by staring at the grave of his late father.
Reno looked at him and grasped Vierra's left hand fingers very tightly, as if showing her affection for the deceased.
"Dad, Vierra asked for father's blessing.." said Vierra very slowly, Reno helped strengthen the girl by increasing her grip.
"Dad, please bless us both marriage, hopefully we can later become a family of Sakinah mawadah warohmah."
"Amin.." added Vierra by dripping her tears again. He smiled warmly, it seemed like this time his heart really felt comfortable, as if being near Reno was a blessing for him.
Jordan who saw the affection of Vierra and Reno just kept silent without any expression. His heart between still hesitating, as if not willing to release Vierra later for Reno.
After the event ask for a prayer of blessing, both Vierra, Reno, Miss. Dian and Jordan also gave prayers beginning with the reading of Al-fatihah and Yasin's letter.
"Amen... My husband I hope you are happy there" said Ms. Dian kissed the tombstone of the deceased husband accompanied by a sprinkling of flowers on the tomb.
Vierra sows flowers as well as Reno. About 1 hour, finally everything finished the pilgrimage and began to return home.
"Come...." Mrs. Dian reached out her right hand which was greeted with a warm embrace from Vierra, then both went first. Jordan stared flat at Reno and walked away, but Reno's voice stopped him.
"Wait!" Jordan turned around and looked at Reno's face.
"I hope after this you don't doubt my intentions and I also hope you don't make me doubt your feelings for Amily." Jordan's forehead shriveled.
"Don't be proud! For now I believe in you, but if one day you hurt Vierra, then not only will you teach me a lesson, but I will completely finish you off. Oh one more... Don't ever interfere in my relationship with Amily, Understand!"
Reno was silent, now changing his right shoulder in the clap several times as he had done earlier against Jordan. The man smiled as if he had managed to bluff and give a loud warning, without making any more noise Jordan just left Reno who was staring at his back further away with a clenched hand.
