Until the next day at the dining table Mariam was surprised by the state of Jessy. The beautiful face was decorated with pretty clear panda eyes.
"Geez!" cry Mariam. "Honey, why is your pretty face now turning into a sundel bolong?"
Jessy's eyes widened hearing that. But he had no intention of answering. Even the food that went into his mouth was tasteless.
"Darling, go home later. You need to get ready!" mariam shouted as Jessy drove off her bike to school.

At night Jessy was getting nervous in her room. "Why if it's like this, the clock's spinning so fast."
From earlier he was grumbling indistinctly, there were only the ingredients of his frustration.
Jessy looks so beautiful tonight. This time she looks different from a little feminine.
The peach-colored dress was perfectly attached to her body, and her thin makeup further beautified her. Her hair this time is also arranged differently from the curly at the bottom.
Of course all of that was the work of Mariam's grandmother.
"Relax Jessy," she tried to calm herself down. Scoop up as much air as possible then exhale it slowly.
"Remember, this is just a meeting. Other possibilities could still occur, he might reject this matchmaking." Jessy smiled. He imagined that the person he would be betrothed to would refuse.
Clamps.
Jessy's bedroom door opens from the outside, looking Mira in the doorway. "May Mama come in?" said it.
Jessy nodded her head.
Mira walks over to Jessy, then gently touches the girl's cheek. "You're so beautiful, baby" she said.
Jessy smiled thinly. "Thank you Ma."
After a while, someone told him the guest had arrived. And Jessy was told to come down.
Mira accompanied Jessy to walk towards the living room where everyone gathered.
From the stairs Jessy saw the whereabouts of her grandmother and also her papa. In addition there was a husband and wife, and an old woman who was the same age as her grandmother. Also someone Jessy can't see, because of the sitting position that turns her back on.
They seemed to be talking about something, like remembering the past. Until everyone fell silent when they realized Jessy's arrival.
"Talk, this is my favorite grandson." Mariam welcomes Jessy and introduces her to her guests. "Jessy, let's greet them."
While the girl could only lower her gaze. She was very nervous at the moment, and Jessy slowly approached her new family candidate.
"Really better I fight against the goons," Jessy said.
Jessy begins by kissing the back of a middle-aged woman's hand that is the same age as Mira's. "Assalamu'alaikum, Aunt."
"Greetings, '" answered the woman. He smiled at Jessy. "You're beautiful, baby." she said.
"Thank you" Jessy replied with red cheeks.
Then Jessy turned to the man sitting next to the woman, looking like it was her husband and doing the same kissing the back of her hand. Last Jessy salutes an old woman Mariam's age.
"It turned out to be more beautiful in the original," the old woman said.
"Of course, don't you see that grandma is pretty like this." Mariam is proud.
"Darling, this is Oma's favorite granddaughter." The old woman patted the arm of the young man sitting beside her.
Jessy then raised her gaze, the more nervous she became but the more domineering her curiosity. What kind of man will be his future fiancee. Did bad thoughts really happen about her potential fiance?
Deg.
Jessy's heart felt like it stopped beating when her gaze locked on someone who was now also staring at her.
"Lo!" squeal Jessy.
"Jessy is polite," Danu interrupts.
"So you know each other?" mariam asked in surprise but her lips gave a smile. "Indeed the soul mate is not going anywhere," he continued.
Again everyone laughed.
"Well, then we don't have to bother introducing Jessy and Nathan." said Oma.
Yes, it turns out the man who will be paired with Jessy is Nathan.
Everyone then spoke lightly. While Jessy secretly stole a glance at Nathan who participated in the conversation.
Jessy saw Nathan differently tonight. Usually he sees Nathan in his school uniform. And today she wears formal clothes, it makes her shine even more. Especially when Nathan smiled, the new sight he saw. Handsomest.
Hew
A handsome?
Jessy immediately shook her head, upon noticing her ridiculous thoughts.
"What's wrong?" Mariam saw Jessy shake her head.
And now everyone's eyes are on him.
"It's okay," Jessy replied with a stiff smile.
"Oh yeah then, let's just get started." Oma interrupting. "Because you know each other, it's better to get engaged" he added.
Everyone seems to agree with Oma.
Jessy's eyes rounded hearing that, wasn't her plan just to get acquainted? Why are you getting engaged now.
Oma turned to Nathan. "How dear? You agree, right?"
Jessy looked at Nathan.
"He must have rejected it, right? We don't even get along at all. Truly for whatever sake, beware if he accepts it." - grumbled inwardly.
But hope remains hope. Jessy's eyes glared as Nathan nodded his head.
"Of Oma, Nathan agrees."
Duars.
