Early in the morning, Umi Merry told him that someone was looking for Shara.

"Ra, someone's looking for you" Umi Merry told Shara, who was having a light conversation with Abinya in the backyard.

Curious, Shara quickly went down to see who had met so early to her house.

When Shara reached the doorway, she frowned and looked at the person standing before her.

"Sorry, find who, huh?" Ask Shara politely.

For a moment the person looked at Shara in awe, Shara's face looked so shady when looked at.

"I'm sorry, I-I want to meet you," said the person stammeringly.

"I?" Ask Shara in amazement.

"Emm, come in" Shara said.

Someone nodded, and followed Shara into the house.

"Sorry, what is the need? And have we ever known each other before?" Shara asked while recalling, but indeed she never knew who that person was before.

For a moment the person fell silent, and his eyes began to glaze over. It makes Shara even more confused.

"Well, why are you crying?" Ask Shara gently.

The man quickly hugged Shara, so surprised at her attitude.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Speak," Shara asked once more.

Shara took the initiative to bring someone into her room, maybe there could be more freely for someone to talk.

In the room, Shara asked the man again.

Patiently, Shara slowly gave the person time to talk.

"Look, Shara..." Someone started to open the conversation.

With a clear word, someone told Shara all her problems. Throughout the story, Shara is so surprised at him. Everything that someone said, not a little make Shara very angry.

"Expiritual" Shara said angrily.

An hour later, someone was talking to Shara, before long the bell was heard.

Sayup-sayup Shara heard the voice of someone out there who might be visiting her house.

"Assalamallaikum, good morning, Mer, Fad," said Mr. Raffi, Adam's father.

"Wa'allaikumussalam, Raf." The two hugged each other.

"What's so early in the morning to visit us?" Abi Fadlan asked as she glanced at Adam standing behind her father.

"Abi, let them enter first" said Umi Merry.

"Oh yes, sorry. Come on in, "get Abi Fadlan.

They were all now gathered in the living room, in a light joke.

"Look, Fad. We came here to propose to Shara," said Mr. Raffi directly at the core.

Shara's parents were silent when they heard Adam's father's words, for a moment they exchanged glances.

"Emm why all of a sudden, Raf? We mean, if you tell us first maybe we can prepare a banquet," said Abi Fadlan.

"Yes, forgive us for coming so suddenly. We planned all this too suddenly" replied Mr. Raffi.

Abi Fadlan nodded, he glanced at the flash of his wife. Umi Merry seemed to understand with her husband's gaze.

"Emm I call her Shara first, I make you a drink first," said Umi Merry moved from her place.

Umi Merry knocked on Shara's room door, from inside Shara opened the door slowly.

"Why Umi?" Shara asked while partially removing her head.

Umi Merry frowned, not usually Shara behaved like that.

"Come down, there's Adam and his parents." Umi Merry dismissed her thoughts about Shara.

Shara was surprised, but she didn't show it.

"Ba-well, Umi. Ara followed soon," said Shara stammering.

"Yes, don't be long!" Umi Seru.

Umi Merry leaves Shara's room, now steps into the kitchen to prepare a drink.

Shara turns to someone still in her room, asking permission to meet Adam's family.

After getting his approval, he immediately walked out of his room.

Shara walked slowly down the stairs, after which she immediately sat down beside her Abi.

Before long Umi Merry came with a drink, he put the drink on the table and sat down next to Shara.

"This is Nak Shara, the arrival of Om, Auntie, and Adam came here to propose to Nak Shara," said Mr. Raffi.

Shara rounded her eyes, her feelings so mixed. Adam easily proposed to other women, when there was a woman who was fighting for her rights.

"How about, Shara boy?" Ask Mr. Raffi.

Shara took her breath, resolutely she began to give her answer.

"I'm sorry, I can't accept Adam's proposal" Shara said.

Adam jerked, his jaw hardened.

"Why did you reject me?" Ask Adam with emotion.

"Why? You sure you don't know why I turned you down?" Shara asked firmly.

Adam frowned, he did not understand Shara's intentions.

"Adam calm down" asked Adam's mother.

"Sir Shara, may Om know, what is the reason for rejecting Adam's proposal?" Ask Mr. Raffi.

"There is someone Adam should give his due" Shara replied ambiguously.

Everyone was confused, especially Adam.

"Someone who do you mean?" Ask Adam.

"Me" said one who was standing behind Adam.

All eyes were now on the source of the voice, Adam was so shocked to see who was standing before him.

"You" said Adam. His face turned pale, Adam rubbed his nape.

Cold sweat began to pour, Adam could not wrinkle.

"Why? You surprised?" Ask Lyra. He walked up to Adam, followed by Shara who stood beside him.

"Why are you here?" Ask Adam.

"You can't do as well as you do, Dam. You have to take responsibility for what you did!" Lyra Exclamation.

"Wait a minute, what's going on? Who is he, Dam?" Ask Adam's Mother.

Adam did not answer immediately, making Mr. Raffi repeat his wife's question.

"Adam answer! Who her? And what does that mean?" Ask Oak Raffi.

"I'm pregnant with Adam's son, Om." Lyra confirmed her words.

"What?" Both of Adam's parents and Shara were shocked to hear Lyra's words.

"Adam, is what he said true?" Asked Mr. Raffi with clenched hands restraining his anger.

Adam did not answer, he was completely cornered at this moment.

"Adam answered!" Jerk Adam's Mother.

"I-I don't know, Mah, Pah. It could be that it wasn't Adam's son, it could be that he did something like that with another man!" Deny Adam.

"Excession! I've never done that with another man! This is clearly your son! I just did it with you!" Tukas Lyra with tears that no longer hold back.

"Well, it could be that you're having an affair behind my back!" Adam is still quibbling.

Plaque.

Everyone was shocked when Mr. Raffi slapped his son.

Adam grimaced with the heat radiating down his cheeks, he looked at his father who was looking at him with anger.

"That's right! Brash kid!" Bumpat Pak Raffi to Adam.

"You've got no shame, you've done something wrong, but you don't want to admit it!" Jerk Mr. Raffi.

"I'm ashamed to have a son like you!" Another imbibing.

Raffi left Adam, followed by his wife. Adam's breath hunts, the hope of having Shara is now extinct.
