Tonight Rumi and Jaka have an appointment to meet with Jaka's family. It was because Jaka had proposed to earth to be his wife. Because that is how to introduce Rumi to her family as a serious sign of her relationship.
Tok.dok...
There was the sound of Rumi's boarding door being knocked. The curly haired girl smiled happily and rushed to open the door of her house where Jaka was waiting for her there.
"Jaka" Rumi said with a sweet smile.
Jaka turned to look at the source of the voice that was reprimanding him earlier. The man looked surprised at Rumi's appearance.
"Why look at me like that? Is there something wrong with my appearance?" Tanya Rumi felt that there was something wrong with their appearance.
"Oh no Rum, instead you look so beautiful and charming tonight. I was made to pangling the same appearance as you" explained Jaka again.
Rumi blushed in embarrassment at the compliment from Jaka. He was happy because Jaka liked his performance tonight.
"Let's go. My family is waiting at home" Jaka said, extending his hand. Rumi grabbed her lover's hand. Rumi embraced her lover's arm. They step onto Jaka's bike and leave Rumi's boarding house to go to Jaka's house.

"Assynoltom..." Sapa Jaka to his family who had been waiting for their arrival.
"Waalaikumsalam" answered the resident.
Jaka and Rumi stand at the entrance of the house, Jaka ready to introduce Rumi to his family. Rumi felt tense and nervous, while Jaka gave a smile full of support.
"Don't worry, Rumi. My family will welcome you with open arms" Jaka said, gently holding Rumi's hand.
They walked into the living room where Jaka's father, mother, and sister were already waiting with smiles.
"Welcome, Jaka and Rumi. We are so happy to see you" Jaka's father smiled warmly.
"Hello, Rumi. I'm Jaka's mother. It's great to finally meet you" Mother Jaka welcomed Rumi warmly.
"Hi, I'm Jaka's sister! You must be a special person to Jaka!" Said Jaka's sister named Siska while jumping to the front.
"Hello everyone. Nice to meet you all" Rumi smiled awkwardly
"Rumi is someone very special to me. We love each other and want to build a future together" Jaka said holding Rumi's hand with support.
"That's very good to hear, Jaka. We support your relationship and wish you both the best" Jaka's father smiled proudly.
"We hope to have a good relationship with you, Rumi. You are always welcome here as part of our family" Rumi's mother said with a warm smile
"Horay! It seems like the number of our families will increase. We'll be a big family later. I can't wait to have a sister-in-law" Siska said in a cheerful cheer.
They went on to have dinner together. Comfortable dining room in the Jaka family home. The dining table is decorated with trinkets and delicious dishes. Rumi sat next to Jaka, while Jaka's family sat around the table.
Delicious dishes served on the dining table greatly uplifted anyone's taste They chatted and laughed, creating a familiar and warm atmosphere.

Ratna was sitting in the living room, thinking hard about her plan. Marco is in his room, unaware of the plans that Ratna is planning to execute. He wants Marco to meet with Alicia, and hopes that it will affect Marco's relationship with Dea.
"How can I get Marco to meet Alicia without suspecting her? I have to do it wisely" Ratna said in deep thought.
Ratna heard Marco's steps in the corridor and she immediately set her face to plain as Marco walked into the living room.
"Hi, Mama. Like my mom was thinking something. What the hell was ma?" Ask Marco.
"Oh, there's nothing, son. I just wanted to have a little chat with you. Can you sit down for a minute?" Said Ratna with a smile that looked made up.
"Sure dong ma, what's wrong?" Marco asked sitting in front of his mother.
"Tomorrow, why did your mama ask me for anterin? His usual mama goes with papa's private driver" Marco becomes astonished by his mama.
"Well, what's wrong if your mother occasionally asks you to deliver mama. soon you will get married and surely your time will be difficult for you. Especially if you and your wife will live in a different house with your mother" explained Ratna by showing her sad face.
"But ma, bang Jordy is also getting married. He must also accompany his mother" said Marco again.
"Jordy is currently having an important meeting in his office. Next week mama will also ask her to accompany mama Arisan. This week, you son. Mau ya temenin mama" Ratna whines to her youngest son.
Marco took a deep breath hearing the words of his mother. To be honest he felt very heavy hearted to accompany Ratna Arisan with her friends. It's just that he thought about what his mom said that he wanted to spend time with his kids before they went to the household. Because when they are married, they will be busy with their own families. As a child it was clear he could not refuse her mother's request. Especially when he said the last time with them before starting their new life.
"Well ma, I will accompany mama" said Marco in the end relented.

Ratna and Marco sit in a cafe waiting for Ratna's arisan friends to come. From Marco's face, it looks like the man is tired of waiting for the mothers to come to the cafe. He reached into his pants pocket to pick up the phone that was there. Now to disappear his boredom he also surfed on social media fiddling with his cellphone.
"Ma, is it still a long time her mama's friends?" Marco's question looks uncomfortable. Well, this should be attended by the women only. It's not supposed to be him here.
"Prophe dong darling. Mama's friend again on the road" said Ratna again.
"It will soon be there" added the middle-aged woman again
Again Marco could only sigh heavily.
"There they have arrived" said Ratna pointing to the door of the cafe.
Marco saw who was coming. The man also gave his heavy breath when he found out who was his mother's friend.
"Hai jeng, here and there" Ratna slightly shouted symbolizing her hand for Susi and Alicia to see them in the corner.
Susi replied to Ratna with a wave of her hand as well. The two women of different ages went to Ratna and Marco.
Alicia smiled sweetly at Marco coming with her mother. It went according to their plan.
"Hi Marco" Tegur Alicia with his friendly.
"Hmmm..." Marco answered indifferently to the girl.
Seeing her son answer nonchalantly to the girl of her choice, Ratna opened her voice.
"Lo, Marco again reprimanded with Alicia the times were not answered anyway. Answer dong nak don't be shy mama dong" Whisper to his youngest son.
Marco rolled his eyeballs. He was very worried about the girl's presence. If only he had not thought of his mama, the man would have already left from there.
"Yes" answered Marco still busy with his cell phone. I don't know what he was looking for at the time. He just compartmentalized and in and out of social media just like that there is a clear search goal. What was clear was that he just wanted to eliminate his current sense of urgency.
"Come on Susi, Alicia please sit down. Please order the food. Which food do you want?" Ratna asked Alicia and Susi. The two women of different ages ordered food according to their taste.
There Susi and Ratna chatted. Alicia always invites Marco to chat by asking a few questions. The man simply replied nonchalantly. He answered without looking at Alicia's face.
"Ma, did he say Arisan? Whereabouts? only they come. Which other mama's friends?" Marco asked in wonder. Well it's been almost an hour they've been waiting. But no other Ratna friends were present there. Only Alicia and Susi came.
"Oh, yes Marco mama forgot. It turns out that his arisan was canceled today. Will be replaced tomorrow. Well there are some mama's friends who have a sudden affair. They called my mom when we arrived at the cafe. I'm sorry I forgot mama" said Ratna feeling innocent in the slightest.
"Oh mama, keep making also we've been here a long time. I've put off my work lo ma. Try to say from the beginning, my work will be finished today" said Marco upset to his mother.
"Yes sorry son. Anyway what's wrong once in a while you're refreshing. Just keep working not well"
Marco massaged his forehead which began to feel dizzy because of his mama's actions.
"Oh ma, this is not the time to refresh mama, I have to work. My work is still a lot in the office" said Marco annoyed with his mama.
Marco turned his gaze towards Susi and also Alicia who smiled wryly at the light debate between the mother and the child.
"Oh, aki knows. Mama must want to get me close to Alicia, right? It wasn't that from the beginning Mama wanted me to be with Alicia. From yesterday my mom kept asking me to help Alicia. This must be your plan to separate me and Dea and get me close to Alicia" Guess Marco.
Degs....
The three women were shocked by what Marco said. It turns out that their plan was already known by Marco.
"Marco, how can you say that anyway? Mama asked me for help because I didn't know who else to ask. You yourself know that they just moved to this city. They had no acquaintance at all" Ratna obviously tried to convince her youngest son.
"What is this to say? Mama said she'd do arisan. He's also one of my mama's friends, right? That means he also knows his friends. Not her mama's friends also have children. Why not ask for help with them. Why should I? Mama knew for herself that I had an engagement with Dea. If he finds out about this, he'll be disappointed and think it's not me" Marco said.
"Marco, mama didn't mean it at all...."
"It's ma, enough" Cut Marco fast.
"I already know all of it. Don't explain anything because it's all clear. Excuse me first. There's still a lot of work to do in the office" Marco stood annoyed.
"Would you like to go home, or stay here with them?" Marco asked his biological mother again.
"Mama still wants to be here Marco"
Yes already. I'm leaving first" Marco passed by leaving his mama there.
