Not as Beautiful as Angan

Not bring dowry

No one knew that Kenari had slipped into her room. He walked around with a sneak for fear of being caught with others.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Mr. Penghulu was still asking about what was the dowry.

"You are the bridegroom, you know what dowry you will give to your future wife. Usually from a few days before it has been prepared by the family of the groom-to-be. Why is this even such a confusion? Actually, this wedding ceremony has been planned or how?" Mr. Penghulu as upset to Karmin the groom-to-be.

"Ma'af pak Jati, how is this daughter's marriage? Said your firstborn, after his yesterday because far away so not many come, and only carry simple, not carrying heavy items. Now I ask what is the dowry? His prospective bridegroom was even talking so, as was confusion" continued pak Penghulu reprimanding pak Jati.

"Actually I also do not understand with all this Mr. Penghulu. In this case my eldest son who arranged everything" Mr. Jati did not mention the truth that the walnut lied about his afterlife Karmin yesterday afternoon.

"Father right as the parents of the bride-to-be, why do you rely on your firstborn to manage everything?" Mr. Penghulu blames Mr. Jati.

"I also feel confused Mr. Penghulu, I do not understand all this" Mr. Jati keukeuh at his confusion.

"This how does it go? Do you want to continue or what? Because if the wedding without a dowry on the part of the bridegroom, the marriage is not legal. Because, dowry is one of the conditions of marriage" said Mr. Penghulu.

"Karmin, you must have known that if you want to marry a girl or a girl, we as men, must provide the dowry. And sometimes the dowry likes to be asked first to our future wife, what would the dowry be? Especially if the dowry of the ring, usually it is taught first enough or not that the ring is on his finger. What about you? Is there no deal with our son?" Jati sir reprimanded Karmin.

Karmin could not answer. He just lowered his head in confusion. How not to get confused? Everything happens out of lust and deception, not out of love. Because all of that happened on the basis of engineering and strategy Kenari who intends to destroy his self-esteem and life Cempaka.

"From yesterday you were in my house, not one bit of you talked about the dowry. When I asked, you answered that it was entrusted with my firstborn. If it's true that you've put it on the walnut, surely you know what you put it?" Mr. Jati looked annoyed and also felt ashamed.

Karmin could not dwell anymore, he lowered his head even deeper. Hiding his face and hoping that the walnut will come to see him soon.

However, Walnuts in the future are not yet nongol. Because, he was busy looking for his ring Bu Sekar to be made his dowry.

"Why shut up? How did this happen?" Jati asked again.

"Everything I leave to Miss Walnut, sir. He said I didn't have to prepare the dowry or anything, everything he had prepared he said" With a feeling of fear Karmin finally said it too.

"Mahar is also the Walnut that prepares? But, why until you yourself do not know the shape of the dowry? It's weird!" Jati sir seems upset.

"Ma'af pak Penghulu I want to nyari Kenari first, let us know the truth" Mr. Jati moved from the living room to the middle room to look for Kenari, his eldest son.

"Yes sir, I'll give you another half an hour. Because I have been waiting elsewhere at eleven o'clock this afternoon" Sahut Pak Penghulu.

"Alright sir" Mr. Jati glanced at Karmin in annoyance.

Karmin just lowered his head, he did not dare to look at the face of Mr. Jati, his future father-in-law.

"This is how, how weird! Her groom-to-be didn't bring her dowry?" A neighbor who eavesdropped on Mr. Penghulu's conversation in the living room, asked in surprise.

"Newly this time I found the wedding faltered this way because the bridegroom did not bring the dowry. Don't you think this was on purpose?"

Someone whispered to the one sitting next to him.

"Pity neng Cempaka yes, where did he get a male model so? She is beautiful and educated. Time wants the same male model so!" Others are sorry.

"Listen-heard that's a man who was betrothed by his eldest brother, who knows Kenari did not intend well with him, we all know how the nature of his eldest son Bu Sekar?" There is also a sound cornered Canary. Because I knew it.

"If that is so, I pray that the marriage will not be so, because I am sure that Cempaka neng must have been forced by Kenari. I'm sure Cempaka neng will not want the same man, it's ugly eh marriage not bring anything else, let alone bring a variety of men, dowry also he did not bring it" And the other chirps.

Almost everyone who was there, talked about the first time that happened.

Bu Sekar cried hearing the chattering of people who talked about the incident that was happening to his family at that time.

Walnut who was in his room at that time bu Sekar, he smiled happily listening to the conversation of the people who were there.

"Rasain you are Cempaka! There is no point in having a pretty face either. Your life is starting to enter the brink of destruction. Everyone sneered because your future husband did not bring any dowry at all. What an incredible disgrace, ha... Ha... Ha! This happy heart" Walnuts muttered happily as her hands were busy opening the pile of clothes in her mother's closet, she hoped to find what she was looking for.

While Cempaka, just crying wailing in silence knowing all the events that happened at that time.

He was silent in his room, accompanied by his youngest brother.

"Dari! Ma! See Canary no?" Mr. Jati asked Kenari to his wife who was crying in the living room, among her relatives and neighbors.

" mother? Why are you crying?" Jati sir is confused.

"Where did mom keep her jewelry? As I recall, mom had other jewelry. But, where's the mistress?" By looking around the room, Walnuts continue to look for the items they want.

In the closet, he could not find it. Similarly in the desk drawer, he found nothing.

Until he finally opened the bed. And, under the bed he saw a rather large purse.

"Finally, I also got what I was looking for" he muttered with a bright face.

"Mommy must have kept all her jewelry here"

He took the dark brown wallet, in his pocket slowly.

"Wooow! This is what I'm looking for! It turns out that it's true my guess, mother kept her precious objects here. Here's the ring I'm talking about, there's the money again. I didn't expect, the old lady had a lot of jewelry and money. I'd better take one of the rings, and half the money, let everyone look in the eyes at the dowry that Karmin gave to Cempaka! Karmin, so marry you too" Walnut eyes wide to see the jewelry and also money that piled neatly in the wallet.

Without thinking long, he took the money as much as seven hundred thousand rupiah, swiftly put in his pocket.

A five-gram ring and a ten-gram bracelet, complete with letters, were also taken from the dark brown wallet. Then his wallet was stored again in its original place.

After tidying his bedsheets back, he also slowly went to the door, he was about to get out of his room bu Sekar, and wanted to hand over the jewelry and money that he had in his feature to Karmin.

After making sure no one was around, Kenari immediately came out of her mother's room.

"Sister, in search of the same father!" Just now that he stepped out of his room Bu Sekar, he was shocked by Lightning who happened to pass in front of the door of his room bu Sekar.

"Light! Just ngagetin!" The impact was loud until it was heard all over the big house.

"That's like the voice of a canary!" Bi Nani Exclaims.

"Come ma'am! We samperin him! You are curious, what exactly he means and purpose with all this" Mr. Jati took his hand to Sekar bu to meet Kenari.

With wide steps, Bu Sekar and Pak Jati headed towards the direction of the sound of the walnut.

"Dari! Are you there again?" Mr. Jati was very surprised to see Kenari was at Lawang door of his room.

"Anu, anu, that emh, that" Canary answered her a straw.

"Anu what? That's what?" Ma Sekar asked emotion.

"I, I'm looking for my mother. Looking for a mother" she answered nervously.

"Why look there? You know your mother is behind. It was with you there, you who forced your mother to borrow her ring to make it into a dowry! Why look in his room?"Bi Nani scolded him loudly.

"See, I'm going there first. I'll explain everything!" Said Kenari while running to the living room.

"Dari! Wait!" Call Bu Sekar yelling. But Kenari did not pay attention to it at all.

" Af sir Penghulu, it's been a long wait. This is the dowry, sir, I just kept it in my bag, I forgot not to tell Karmin first" Walnut gave the jewelry and money to Karmin.

"Alhamdulillah, finally bu Walnuts came too. I was worried" said Karmin, now his head is not down anymore.

"His crown is fifteen grams of jewelry, in the form of rings and bracelets. As well as the money of seven hundred thousand rupiah" Canari said his dowry to Karmin.

"Alhamdulillah, finally came also who delivered his dowry. Since the dowry is already there, maybe the show can we start now? Where's Jati sir and his wife? Please call because the show will start soon" said Mr. Penghulu.

"Yes our sir is here" said Mr. Jati in surprise.

"From Karmin, sir. I just forgot to keep it. It turns out it was in this bag, the bag I found in her room Carnation, last night I was going to sleep there" Canary lied.

"Why did you take your mother's ring as her dowry?" Tegur bu Sekar's.
