"Son Leon, be careful on the road. If there is free time, often play here. The door of this house is always wide open for you" Mr. Idris said before Leon drove his four-wheeled vehicle.
"God's Insha, sir. Pray for me, hopefully, when I come here again is the day I propose to Lulu to be my life companion. I have not been impatient to want halalin cepet beautiful daughter Father and Mother, afraid if postponed even digondol maling, danger!" Leon chuckled at the end of his sentence, while Lulu bowed in embarrassment. Leon could have said so in front of his parents, completely shameless.
Mr. Idris and Ms. Fatimah chuckled. Leon can joke too.
"Aamiinu. I pray that everything goes well, according to plan. Oh yeah, don't forget the banana that you picked up yesterday afternoon directly to Mama Nak Leon and the other half to Neng Queensha. Not much, but mom and dad hope you can like it."
"I must have given it to Mama, Mom. Thank you for bothering to pick a banana to take home," said Leon sincerely. Although the souvenirs given by Ms. Fatimah are very simple and she can buy them in traditional markets and supermarkets, but she still thanked her future mother-in-law.
Lulu kisses the backs of her parents' hands, after Leon finishes his stale talk with his father and mother.
"Be careful on the road. If you have reached the index, do not forget to tell your father and mother so that we do not worry about you," said Mr. Idris while rubbing the back of his favorite child.
The same thing was done by Fatimah. The middle-aged woman kissed Lulu's right and left cheeks, giving her a bit of encouragement before the child returned to the city.
Leon glanced at Lulu who was still waving at her parents. Although the woman's mouth never said the word dear, but Leon sure if actually his lover was so loving sir Idris and Miss Fatimah.
Carrying one hand Lulu approached the lips then landed a kiss on the back of his future wife's hand. "Don't be sad, we can still come here. If I am not busy, you can go home. But, if I'm busy, then I'll let you meet Mom and Dad."
Next to her, Lulu smiles despite grieving over having to part with her parents again. Suddenly, his heart seemed to be filled with flowers blooming, as abundant as everywhere. Leon's words showed how much he cared about her.
"Don't force yourself if you can't. Helping people is a commendable deed, and I don't want you to put me too close to your patients. Do your job well, then you think of me."
Falling in love with Lulu. Behind the jutek attitude, his mouth that often hurts someone's feelings, apparently Lulu has another side that is rarely shown to others. Leon is lucky to be the only person who can see the other side of the lover.

The next day, Leon went to work as usual. The five-day leave he used to visit his future father-in-law's hometown in West Java.
"I think I should tell Ghani about my plan to bed Lulu because after all, Ghani and Queensha are the people who have known me to Lulu. Let me ask him to be a witness when I ask Lulu from his parents." Leon sped up his steps towards the highest floor of the building. He could not wait to share this good news with his best friend.
Leon knocked on the door and put his foot into the hospital director's room. There was Ghani who was busy taking care of the hospital and patients in Bougenville ward. Even though there is Leon in charge of the ward, but he keeps an eye and makes sure everything is well coordinated.
"Ghan, there's something I want to say to you. Is there some time?" leon asked as he sat across from Ghani.
Ghani took off the glasses perched on his nose, then looked up his head, directing an eye toward his best friend. "What's up, Yon? I think it's serious until your face looks so tense. Why, you want to take another vacation?" ghani replied when he saw Leon's facial water look so tense than before.
Inhaling as much air as possible and then replied, "Lo must have known that a few days ago I went to Lulu's hometown," said Leon basa stale first.
"Heem, I know that's why you take a few days off. How's it going there, is everything going well? Smoke and bokapnya Lulu, how?"
"Yes, thank God, everything is going well. I also have the blessing of Lulu's parents" said Leon proudly.
The happy sparkle emanated from Ghani's pair of narrowed eyes. He was happy to hear this good news. "good. Then, when do you want the proposal? Do not for long, the demon hunt meddles in it," Ghani said trying to warn. Do not let the events that happened to him first happen to Leon. Suddenly Lulu got pregnant first, it's dangerous.
Leon scratched his head that did not itch. Ghani knows that he sometimes likes to get out of control while on Lulu's side.
Once upon a time because it was too happy, Leon to keblasan, mengumbu Lulu so intensely until almost having intercourse because it was so carried away. However, lucky he soon realized and unwanted things did not happen.
"The plan is in the near future I will be sleeping Lulu, about a month from now. After that, we just got married. Anyway, I don't want my wedding to even clash with Zavier, pity the invited guests who are mostly hospital employees, must double give the envelope to me and the Dragon's cap playboy."
Ghani does not accept his brother being insulted, throwing a roll of paper at Leon's face. "Cockfighting! Don't insult my twin sister, I'm tampol lo too!" annoyed snapping. At least there likes someone to mock his twin sister despite the fact that Zavier was often gonta change girlfriend during school first, though, but he would not stay silent if someone else insulted his twin sister.
Leon fended off the paper scroll that almost landed on his face. "Damn it, almost my handsome face is broken because of you! I'm talking about what it is, bro. Lo's brother's-"
Leon raises his hand in the air, a sign of surrender. If Ghani has a serious face and cold tone then he can not nudge his best friend. Ghani can be a creepy monster, do not hesitate to kill someone's life if it is considered to have hurt people who are so dear to him.
"Fine, we're back to the main topic. Yesterday, my plan was to introduce myself in front of Lulu's parents and ask for their child's blessing. Not funny, if the dateng suddenly and say want to bed her son. Which is not accepted instead of being kicked out of me," said Leon again make Ghani smile thinly, imagine his sidekick pounded by his mother and father Lulu, must look ridiculous.
"Hmm, actually also said lo. Then?" Ghani is convinced that Leon still wants to convey something to him. This is just the beginning, not yet entered into the core of the discussion.
Leon turns his face serious and it makes Ghani convinced that the man opposite him is not just about to deliver good news related to the progress of his relationship with Lulu, but there was something else important to tell him.
"Ghan, I'd like to ask you a favor. I guess, can you help me?"
Ghani scrunched both eyebrows. "Please what?" the tan is short, dense, and clear.
Take a deep breath and then breathe out slowly. I try to gather courage within myself. "Gue wants to ask for help to my friend when I go to Lulu later. I'm afraid my brain is blinding all of a sudden. You know, my brain is sometimes slow when it comes to romance. Instead of the sacred event falling apart, I broke up to ngajak lo, Ghan. How, can you not?"
Ghani cupped the tip of his pointy chin with the back of his hand, pretending to think while he was willing to accompany Leon. Intentionally this just wants to prank his best friend.
"Where, huh?" Ghani is again a serious face, making Leon annoyed.
"Yeah, think a long time. Buruan answered, can't you?" said Leon. Both of his hands tightly gripped the lump of paper that was thrown at him earlier until the paper was flat.
The corner of Ghani's lips was pulled upwards. Happy to see Leon upset because of his actions.
"So much patience as a person. Don't you just fuck that's the same Lulu, huh?" Ghani said with a full glance.
Leon immediately got the question. He was already impatient to be able to taste the so-called heaven of the world. All this time he never made a mess despite being in love with the opposite sex, he always kept himself from damaging the future of girls. However, in front of Lulu, the desire to make love is passionate, Lulu is like a magnet that carries her constantly approaching.
"Neighbor! I'm a good boy, sholeh, who might understand so."
Ghani sneered and rolled her eyes lazily. "Children of sholeh kok miras," he said cynically.
Grieving for Ghani reminds him of his sin in the past. "That's the past when I was crazy, now it's not. I'm sorry, Bro."
Ghani hmm only, not responding to anything.
"On your question just now, I have considered carefully if I .. willing to nemenin you to the home of his parents Lulu. I'm ready to witness the union of two human beings who step together into marriage."
Leon jumped up in joy so happy. The eyes sparkled happily, the heart flowered as if there were millions of butterflies flying from its stomach.
"Yes! I finally got married to Lulu. Thanks Ghan, you are my best friend." Then Leon rushed to Ghani, intending to embrace the body of the superior who also doubles as his best friend. However, his intention was stopped when he saw Ghani's narrow eyes glaring at him.
"Fine! I'm not going to make anything" Leon said with both hands held up in the air. Unwilling to upset Ghani, and his attempts to persuade the man were in vain.
"Kabarin aja when you want to go to Lulu's parents' house. If it can be far away let me prepare everything carefully."
With a lightning-fast motion Leon raised his two thumbs in front of Ghani. "Ready, Boss! Again, thank you, Bro."
Leon's words were answered by a nod of the head. However, in Ghani's heart, he was very happy to know Leon would soon be editing his beloved girl. That means the three men in her circle have taken off all singles.
First Shaka, who is married to his twin sister Zahira. The two Zavier, who in 2 weeks' time had Hanna - one of Zahira's close friends in the Melati ward. And lastly Leon. This is exciting news for him.
