...🌸 Happy reading, and healthy always 🌸...

''Actually uncle, Alif is here to express Alif's feelings to Iren. Because Alif still loves his uncle's daughter, and if Irena and uncle would like to accept it, Alif wants to go straight to a more serious level. Alif wants Iren to be Alif's life companion, uncle, said Alif. Both of his hands clenched, clutching tightly at the end of his clothes.

''Really? Are you sure of your decision, son Alif?'' Said Mr. Bayu, but his eyes are still staring intently at Alif.

''With all my heart, I am absolutely sure of what I am saying this uncle, '' Alif replied with confidence.

''Do your mama already know with your decision, son Alif?''

Deg...heard Mr. Bayu's question, the look on Alif's face suddenly changed, his heart became doubtful. Because, mama, or his family at all no one knows about the intentions and desires of Alif who wants to make Iren as his wife. Seeing Alif who was silent did not answer a word, Pak Bayu took a heavy breath.

''Ideally, nak Alif talked first with the family nak Alif, especially his mother nak Alif. However, a marriage can not be separated from the blessing of parents, especially from a mother who has given birth and raised Nak Alif. Uncle does not mean to refuse the proposal nak Alif, because all decisions are in the hands of Iren, and also nak Alif who will live it alone. Uncle as an old man, can only wish you all the best. But it's good if son Alif talked about it first well with the family son Alif huh? If you have the blessing, son Alif can come here again to propose to my daughter, said Mr. Bayu with a smile.

''Justify Ren?'' Mr. Bayu voiced a bit loudly when he saw Iren coming down the stairs.

Iren only smiled faintly in response, his cheeks alone had met red. But in his heart there was still much doubt. But Iren himself did not want to be too hard on his heart. If indeed God wants to unite him with Alif, Iren was relieved and very happy. He hoped that this time God would truly unite their love in the sacred bond of marriage.

''Alright uncle, Alif will talk about it first with Alif's parents. Alif hope uncle gives me a chance to prove my seriousness to my uncle's daughter, said Alif.

''Yes, uncle will not ban you, nor will he hinder your goodwill. Remember uncle's message! Uncle does not want if later uncle's daughter when with you, even more crying, rather than happy. Uncle and his mother Irena, uh uncle, I mean, with both of his parents Irena, we always try to give our best to Irena. Uncle does not want you to be only good at the beginning and then make him suffer, said Mr. Bayu.

''May it never happen uncle. I promise you, it will only make her cry because she is happy not suffering. I will also try to give him the best I can and as much as I can, said Alif.

''I do not need an appointment for Alif, because many people who often promise but never keep it. All I need is proof, not just a sweet promise that can be anytime mopped up after the sweetness is gone. Remember the Javanese proverb, ''Kebo dicke taline, menungso dickejanine, ''' What else, nak Alif is a man. So uncle hope the promise of Nak Alif is not just a sweet promise, said Mr. Bayu.

''Yes uncle, Alif will try to prove it uncle, ''' Alif felt a little relieved after he finished talking to Mr. Bayu. Pak Bayu is a role model for him, wise in deeds, words, and advice, both to his children, even though the child is connected though.

Alif also paid to go home after finishing chatting with Mr. Bayu. Iren himself did not say a word to Alif. But Alif is determined that he will make Irena believe in his seriousness and continue to fight for his love.

After Alif's departure, Iren preferred to leave for his room. While Arsen and Kenzo sat together next to Mr. Bayu. Sipping the remaining tea, Mr. Bayu saw his sons looking at him with a questionable gaze. Mr. Bayu smiled and said...

''What's up? Why are you guys looking at me like that?'' Saying sir Bayu.

''Well, will papa just approve Alif's proposal reward?'' Arsen opened his mouth first, wondering why his father had agreed to it.

''But pah, papa knows for himself how his family at that time hated Iren, even to the point of insulting mama. Arsen does not want if later Iren sad again pah,''' Arsen still do not accept if later Alif family does not approve again and will make his sister sad again.

''Ken also disagreed with the reward, Ken knew very well how sad big brother was pah, brother Iren even to tears in Kenzo pah's arms, papa know that the brother rarely cried?'' Kenzo also spoke.

''Already! Why are you guys so noisy. You better focus on your work first! While seeing how Alif's efforts later. Papa is sure, that boy loves your brother Ar very much, even papa can see your sister also loves that boy. If your sister can accept it, then we should also accept and support all her decisions right?'' Say Mr. Bayu, Mr. Bayu then left his sons who were still silent thinking about his father's words.

Inside the room, Irena was busy with her own thoughts. Thinking of what if his mother Alif had not agreed to their intentions. Then if his mother had agreed, how would he answer the question Alif had not been able to answer earlier. Until the daydream is not when the phone rings. It was Mira who contacted him.

''Heem...'' Iren answered lazily a call from Mira.

''That could be the answer!'' Mira said from there.

''Did you contact me? Usually just chat doang, and rarely phone, said Iren. Yes, Mira and Iren chat more often than phone. If they want to talk, they usually prefer to meet. It might be said that their phones are rarely used except for the important things.

''I want to ask you this seriously. So don't answer it lazily!'' Mira said with great emphasis.

''Yes, yes, I answered what is the Kemal artisan (up to )" said Iren.

''Did Alif really come to your house today Ren?'' Ask Mira. And it's true that Iren's conjecture must be about Alif.

''Yes....
