Kaysan and Nanang are nothing more than men wedged between love and custom held in high esteem. Choosing one of them is the same as sacrificing some of his soul. There is nothing wrong with these two, for fate cannot be chosen at will.
Is love so great? Adam and Eve made a mistake before the Creator. And, that error is the starting point for the discovery of the term C I N T A.

Week pass. Nakula and Sadewa were already preparing to return to the land of Java. Sedu Rinjani unceasingly asked them to stay in Australia. His heart melancholy, somehow Kaysan seduced Rinjani to release their sisters back to the Earth of Pertiwi. Mbah Atmoe just smiled, Dhanangjaya eyes chose silence while watching his grandchildren argue about the strange farewell.
"It's to Ma'am, shame!" exclaimed Sadewa, he was not inexhaustible with Rinjani's attitude. Then his hand did not want to take off the hands of Sadewa and Nakula.
"Silent mother, don't go home." Rinjani Whim. Like a child, he lost a friend to play.
"Sir, the semester break is over. We have to go back home and go to college. Later if there is free time we will come here again. Promise." Sadewa raised her little finger. Rinjani shakes unwillingly.
"Please persuade your wife, if we don't miss the plane." Now it was Sadewa's turn to whine for Kaysan's help.
"For two weeks they accompanied you and followed your wishes. It's time for them to come home, otherwise Father will actually come to pick us up. You want?" Kaysan tried to seduce Rinjani for the umpteenth time.
"In addition, Ma'am Jani is still accompanied by Mbah Atmoe and eyang." Nakula. Instead of subsiding, Rinjani is made to glare with Nakula's words.
"You two want to make me a brash grandson! There was no way Mbah Atmoe and Eyang would accompany me to cook and play water in the back garden, which is true!" rinjani. He forgot, there is a fetus that can feel the hardness of his heart.
Approaching the hours of take-off, Rinjani's whining becomes more and more so.
"Don't go... Accompany Ma'am..."
"Bak promise I don't take care of you."
Nakula and Sadewa threw eyes at each other. Smile and sigh long before they finally embrace Rinjani, "Makanya let's go home Ma'am, Mbak will not be lonely because there is a family at home. Mother's house is still wide open to Mbak Jani and Kaysan mas if you want to go home later." Nakula's words like a deadly seduction that took as a fortress Rinjani.
Home.home..family...Nina...Burosmini.and all the memories. Circling in Rinjani's head. He was suddenly lethargic, slowly fading away when he remembered that there was something he had to face - Ayahanda with all his commands.
Rinjani replies to the warm embrace of the twins, "Promise, tomorrow if my son is born you are here. Don't forget the gift, which is a lot." Rinjani asked.
Nakula and Sadewa gave a sharp glance, quickly nodding and saying yes, "It's gone there, before my son's wishes change again." Rinjani really does not know herself. He took off his arms and was indifferent to the twins.
This opportunity used the twins to quickly leave. They kissed Mbah Atmoe, Dhanangjaya and Kaysan's hands in turn.
Rinjani glared, she did not want to look at her smiling sisters and waved her hand at him.
"Don't sulk, get old soon!" shout Sadewa. They then entered the airport lounge after conducting e-ticket checks and metal detector checks.
"What will Kaysan do after this, Wa?" ask Nakula. It is not only Rinjani who is sad. Nakula, who is close to Rinjani, knows that Rinjani is lonely when Kaysan leaves for work. Their condition was not much different when Rinjani and Kaysan were still in the house of Ayahanda. The presence of Nakula and Sadewa is indeed the solace of Rinjani's heart. Especially for Rinjani, joking with the slalu twins makes him able to release his heartbreak.
"Attract just a moment, not given rations. They both can't get far from the bed. Already ah! Letter to Anisa you've brought yet?" replied Sadewa, he was actually upset because he was not satisfied with being invited by Keenan to go for a walk in his hometown.
Moreover, there is a female friend Keenan who made him amazed. "It has. What is the contents of the letter? Is it okay, Ma'am Jani does not approve of the relationship between Nanang and Anisa? Should we read it first?" Nakula asked Sadewa for approval. Clearly Sadewa's nosy nature made Nakula take the letter out from inside her backpack.
"Are you sure you don't open it?" Nakula hesitates. He only weighed the pink mail envelope in his hand, without daring to open it
"You know why Ms Jani did not approve of the relationship between Anisa and Mas Nanang? Ma'am Jani is in love with Kaysan, so there is no reason for Mbak Jani not to approve of their relationship." exclaimed Sadewa. Sometimes being twins does not always have one thought. There are discussions that make them argue about something they should not think about.
"Wa, what if we're in the father's trial?" The plane was in the air an hour ago. They kept thinking about how to give the best and logical reason for Ayahanda.
"There's Mommy." replied Sadewa, he was tired of Nakula's questions.
"For a long time you were chatty, the contagious Madam Jani!" cela Sadewa's.
"Aren't you chatty?" Bela Nakula's. Sadewa closed his eyes.

Still in the airport parking area, Rinjani waits for the plane carrying her sisters to leave. Kaysan fell silent, realizing that he did not have much time to have fun with Rinjani. He just thought, his age is not worth having fun like the twins.
"Let's go home, mas." said Rinjani, he stepped foot into Kaysan's car.
"Go home or have some ice cream?" Persuade Kaysan. He knows ice cream can help the weight gain of the fetus in the womb. Ice cream is great in summer.
Rinjani just nodded. He got in the car.
"Mbah Atmoe, Eyang, want to go straight home or eat ice cream?" ask Rinjani. Kaysan got into the car and put Rinjani on his seatbelt.
"I ate ice cream. Once in a while." replied Mbah Atmoe.
"Our company rarely eats ice cream. Moreover, the teeth are sensitive" said eyang Dhanangjaya.
Car exits the airport parking area. It didn't take long, the brand had arrived at the shop selling various flavors of ice cream. Not only that, there are also rows of fast-food vendors.
"You need lemon-flavored ice cream, plus berries" Rinjani said, he was already sitting on a chair. Follow Mbah Atmoe and eyang Dhanangjaya who are busy looking at the menu list.
"Es coffee cream flavor" Mbah Atmoe said.
Eyang Dhanangjaya was still confused, though,
"Everything tastes good." said Kaysan. Inviting the elderly to snack on food for young people is difficult to make a choice.
"Es cold cream, later tooth pain. If so, bother yourself. There's no puyer here." Rinjani held back a laugh, "Juice fruit only, mas. A little ice."
"Good idea my grandson. Fruit juice with ice cream on a spoon." Pinta eyang Dhanangjaya's. Kaysan then went to the cashier to order and pay for it.
The four of them waited for service to make an order. Until finally, three bowls of ice cream and a glass of juice served at the dinner table.
"You're sure you ate it, not that lemon was sour." Kaysan's forehead frowned, imagining the taste of the lemon ice cream Rinjani had eaten voraciously.
"Enak mas" said Rinjani. "Strong."
Rinjani's face does not show if the taste of lemon ice cream is sour. Until Kaysan who chose chocolate-flavored ice cream, scooping ice cream belongs to Rinjani. He was curious about the taste.
"You said it wasn't sour! Your mouth seems to be insensitive to the difference in taste." Seloroh Kaysan who immediately ate his ice cream to fade the sour taste in his throat.
"But Jani likes it. Jani wants more!"
"No!" kaysan replied.
"Later if his son ngeces how, later said the people, the descendants of noble kok ngeces."
"Suspect is human too. Not escape from mistakes. That khilaf is sure. Choose another flavor!"
Rinjani relented, her husband if he already had a hard word to argue. "That wine tastes."
Mbah Atmoe and eyang Dhanangjaya who saw the two humans who fuss over the taste of ice cream, made even more pain when the cold ice cream touched their sensitive teeth. "It's better to drink coffee or bajigur."
