"assalamualaikum"
Sontak Wulan stood up from his seat, while still throwing a glance at the man coming from outside.
The man in shabby clothes, sweat flowing past his tired-looking vulnerable face.
His hand held a caping, while his right shoulder, which was no longer sturdy, supported the hoe that was dirty by the ground.
But a warm and shady smile bloomed adorning that sepuh face.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, father" replied Wulan welcoming his father's arrival. Jason stood behind Wulan.
"Are there guests?!" The old man's speech led to Herman who was on the porch.
His eyes were then fixed on the girl and a man who was more handsome than he was outside.
Although smiling, but there was a bit of confusion also seeing the appearance of his unusual guests. Moreover, a luxurious car parked in his yard was clearly theirs.
"Meet me, sir, I'm Jason" Jason said gradually approaching as he extended his hand.
"Well, I'm Wulan's father. Sorry son, your hands are still dirty, Monggo please continue, father to back for a moment" replied the old man with shady eyes.
Wulan and Jason seemed to return to where they had been sitting before, but a sudden sense of awkwardness encompassed the two.
For a moment, the two simply fell silent and misbehaved.
"Emm Wulan, so how?" Jason asked at last.
"What sir?" The girl pretended not to know.
"Yet, you haven't answered"
"Which one?" Suddenly Wulan wants to prank Jason.
"Ck, that was about our relationship!" Jason clucked.
"What is our relationship?" Wulan put on a serious face as if she did not understand.
"Are you willing to accept my love now??" Jason replied as he pinched Wulan's cheek furiously.
The girl suddenly giggled, displaying her neat rows of teeth.
With a charming laugh, making Jason smile to see the beautiful scenery.
The girl had stolen his whole heart.
"Do you know me?" Jason asked pretended to sulk while again pinching Wulan's adorable cheek.
"Yes, I'm sorry, sorry sir" he replied still with a chuckle.
The atmosphere that had been tense and serious, then suddenly awkward now turned liquid and pleasant.
For the great stone that had stuck in their hearts was now gone.
"Yes sir, I will" Wulan replied steadily, her cheeks reddening Tomato red, a knotty smile adorning her naturally beautiful face.
"Really?" Jason's eyes widened and sparkled.
Wulan nodded steadily again, she did not want to lie to her heart anymore.
This is what her heart wants, she's a single woman and Jason's. Then nothing can stand in the way of their love anymore, right?

"Mom, the guest in front is sopo? Temene Wulan??" Ask Mr. Slamet, Wulan's father when he entered and found his wife and youngest child in the kitchen.
"It's not temene sir, it's mistress" replied Ms. Siti as she poured tea water from inside the teapot into a cup for her husband.
Mr. Slamet nodded his head.
"You ngajak mbak Wulan nikah most sir" Wahyuni chimed while giggling.
"Huss, reckless you. You are still a child do not be pretentious" reprimanded Bu Siti while glancing sharply at her youngest daughter who is increasingly chuckling.
"Mother is worried that Wulan made a mistake, so now again reprimanded. The master said he wanted to talk to Wulan, maybe seriously sir" Ms. Siti turned to her husband.
"Don't you really, Mom? We just go out Yo Bu, we ask wulan what is the problem with his employer. If indeed Wulan made a mistake, as parents we also apologize. They are rich people, if there is anything Wulan will be reported to the police how?" Mr. Slamet was suddenly worried.
"No way sir, wong muan Jason aja love mbak Wulan kok" Wahyuni again joined nimbrung.
"You're talking about thinking, don't just come from a mangap" this time Bu Siti was really irritated by wahuni.
"Mother if you are told to know ngeyel, yuni denger himself really" Wahyuni said he would not lose.
"Wes, rather than better we go out, Mom, we ask the same master" said Mr. Slamet mediate.
"Come sir, come on" Siti nodded in agreement.
"See, you clean up and change clothes first" said the old man as he walked away.

"Thank you Wulan" Jason smiled so coolly.
"What's it for, sir?" Wulan frowned, tilting her face.
"Thank you for accepting my love" Jason replied, making the girl in front of him blush.
"Emmhh, thank you also because you already want to love a girl like me" Wulan replied while bowed, yes it is inevitable there is a sense of insecurity in part of her heart.
"What does that mean?" Jason asked, he did not like to see Wulan so humble.
"Yes like me, poor girl, village girl" Wulan replied with a wry smile.
"Hey, what's wrong with the village girl? Wulan, I don't care where you are from, what kind of background you are. You're good, and we love each other that's enough. Don't think like that anymore" Jason said as he held onto Wulan's two shoulders, forcing the girl to look at him.
"Yes, sir" replied Wulan.
"Emmhh, one more. Don't call me master, I'm your lover now" Jason said, pinching Wulan's nose in a fit of rage.
The girl smiled as she held onto Jason's hand which was on her nose, making Jason laugh.
It was as if the distance between them had completely disappeared.
Wulan was only able to smile, grateful if indeed the difference in their social status was meaningless.
The girl shook off the distance between herself and Jason which contrasted like the earth and sky.
Their love is more than enough to fight the world, right? Hopefully!!
"Sir..." The sound of the slamet made the couple who were still as warm as a cake that just came out of the oven was shocked. (MashaAllah I just want to say a new lover couple so why even bring a cake from the oven, fresh from the oven 😜🤣)
"I.iya sir" Wulan replied quickly as she inched away giving some distance between herself and Jason.
Jason nodded with an awkward smile, whether Wulan's parents had seen the scene that had just happened or not.
"Sir..." Said Mr. Slamet with his head down and then sat together in the narrow living room, followed by his wife.
Now the four of them sat facing each other.
Suddenly the discomfort clouded Jason's feelings. It was nothing, but the middle-aged faces before him suddenly displayed a serious look.
Do they see the affection between themselves and their daughter and are they angry??
'Jason's inner 'Oohh' swallowed his saliva with great difficulty.
