“Congratulations Yes, Rio, Graceful.” Bu Ariel greeted the two of them with a sumringah. Gracefully did not react, just staring intently at Bu Ariel from top to toe cynically. Ms. Ariel just chuckled amusedly and did not care. “I am here representing Mr. Rendi as well as representing the Ranggasadono.” Family
“Please ya bu already arrived,”
“Ah yes, this is Arka, my fiancee.” Bu Ariel introduced the tall, bespectacled man standing behind her.
Hearing the word ‘takan’ Anggun instantly sparkles.
“Oh mom already has tunangaaan! Waaah, hopefully quickly catch up with us without obstacles ya Buuu,” so Anggun reaction. It seems he was relieved.
Ariel's mother sneered at hearing it. This is the possessive base of the Graceful.
“I have been dating Arka since college, we have been about 6 years. Well there is no way I have a crush on Rio, leaning not my taste, kheheheheheh!!”
“Awas takan own talk,” hiss Rio.
“Hush! You are..” Bu Ariel directly hit Rio's shoulder.
“I just heard that Bu Ariel and Anggun are brothers?” ask Rio.
“Open Rio! Not brother. Our grandfather was close friends, his house was next door, neighbors of them were small. So familiar to be like a brother. Yes it goes down to their grandchildren. Silaturahmi awake like we are in blood.”
“Mother knows about us from Papah dong huh?” ask Rio.
“Yah..” Bu Ariel sighed, “I'm sorry if I didn't know Rio all along, Graceful. You guys have been through all sorts of things. This marriage is the right way even though it is not considered legal. What if we marry Siri too Darling?” Ariel looked towards Arka.
“I picked up the pudding first there,” hiss Arka while walking towards the buffet and ignoring Bu Ariel's question..
Rio immediately turned back because he wanted to laugh.
Bu Ariel looked at her fiance in annoyance. “Why did he escape?” And finally Bu Ariel again faced Rio and Graceful. “We are planning a wedding next year, I also have a message WO. You guys want a reception after graduation?
Rio and Anggun look at each other, “It looks like yes ma'am, we propose Itsbat Nikah as well as reception, if Anggun is not pregnant.” said Rio.
Bu Ariel patted Rio on the shoulder with a proud face, “Great you are Rio. I didn't expect you to be so gentle. Deserve Grace is so possessive of you. There are not many men as young as you who are ready for a wedding. Most even had to, and eventually all fell apart. KDRT everywhere, abandoned children-”
“Most talk you, Riel.” Mr. Banyu came in with a cry.
“Uncle!” Ms. Ariel kissed Mr. Banyu's hand. “Sorry I got carried away. I'm so glad I did. By the way, I heard again Anggun first rank in PTS yesterday. Awesome you Nggun, whereas Remedial yes!”
“Well, the exam is too easy. It's usual.” Gracefully pull her hair back.
“Custom takaburnya,” murmured Bu Ariel. But still with the look of a sumringah face.
“Please enjoy the banquet bu,” said Rio next, because it is very visible that Anggun is not pleased with the conversation.
“Oh yes if that one does not need to be told is Rio, wahahaha!” sahut Bu Ariel while passing to the buffet while holding the arm of Mr. Banyu. Had Rio heard Bu Ariel confided to Mr. Banyu, “Uncle, I want to rush to marriage but Arkanya instead pull over. Uncle is so lucky!”
“If it's time there's a way,”
“Ya when? I'm hunting to be this old virgin!”
“You are still 24, hurry up very!”
Gracefully hugged Rio's arm and leaned his head on Rio's shoulder.
“After this what is our agenda?” ask Gracefully
“Tomorrow I went through an interview session in the Police, they arrested some people who kidnapped me yesterday.” Said Rio
“Ikhsan and Pak Kinto said to America this week,” said Anggun
“Turn of Lawsuit has been confirmed yes,”
“Ya,”
“You're sincere?”
“Because there is you, yes I am sincere. If you are missing, just look out for them.” furious Anggun.
“Hehe..”.
They headed to the dining room to talk to the people there. The deal was, no one should know, except those present at the time, about this marriage.
Iptu Rayhan sat beside Rio while unfolding the napkin, then placed it on the lap.
Rio looked at her fixedly.
Iptu Rayhan spooned the goat fried rice into his mouth,
Rio was still looking at her, with his cynical smile.
“Not to say anything shit boy,” muttered Iptu Rayhan.
The clontang!!
The spoon Iptu Rayhan held fell to the floor.
An ART swiftly came and gave a new spoon.
“Ask bitter coffee can Mbak?” ask Iptu Rayhan to ART.
“Which is sweet why the hell, as sweet as night it-“
The krompyang!!
“Duh slippery my hand...” now a fork that falls to the floor. Finally ART handed over two forks and two spoons at Iptu Rayhan's desk, so there was no reason to duck the cutlery that fell under him.
“Welcome to Club Antonim.” Rio Kekeh. When Rio and Anggun are Badboy vs Goodgirl, this one is Police vs. Fugitive.
“Yes yes yaaa, thanks!” hiss Iptu Rayhan.

That night...
No, not yet a friendly scene.
Obviously not, because Anggun still needs time for his body.
Rio entered the Anggun room as the girl sat in front of the dressing table. Anggun's face looked doubtful as it looked at Rio. It seemed that he took a breath and looked fearfully at Rio.
Making Rio stop and reflexively raise his hand.
“I'm not here to call ‘itu’.” Rio Sahut
Graceful eyes grew, she raised her eyebrows. “Really?”
“We are husband and wife. The ‘itu’ I can charge anytime. Does not have to be now.” The man sat in front of Anggun while grabbing the girl's hand and gently dipping his fingers.
Gracefully grinned while staring deeply at Rio. A grateful look. He forgot, that Rio is Rio. No matter how brutal his behavior was outside, Rio was the most gentle man Graceful knew.
“I'm here to talk about a few things,”
“Oke, I listen.”
“First... I want to try to maximize my savings with the method that Bu Ariel once taught. Nowadays if there are deposits above 1 billion in the Bank, the tax officer must be concerned. So 1 billion in my deposit, another 1 billion in deposits in your name, 1 billion in homes and vehicles, the rest in jewelry that can be sold again. In order for the tax I paid not to be too large, I also have to have a loan,”
“He’em,”
“That means because everyday we live off 2 billion deposits. For its fixed assets, I want to build boarding in West Jakarta, it becomes our additional income. The boarding house purchase may be half of my money, half of it will borrow from the Bank, I will pay for it every month. For our home, until I find the right price, we just need to stay in this house, so Papah is not lonely, hehe.”
“OK..”.
“So..the cost of living both of us a month is only 6 million’an. Less if the deposit interest goes up. You can?”
“Yeah... would you like to eat what we with living costs of 6 million a month? Tempe every day? I've served 10 million already feel very poor, Rio.”
“This is Indonesia, Anggun, not Los Angeles who bought a burger for one 5 dollars.”
“That's normal price, burgers that are 30thousands don't know what meat to wear. Wear cork times.”
“Can Be Graceful, if intention. I could do that,”
“I'm asking for more to Papa-“
“Do.” Rio gripped the arm of Anggun. “The responsibility for you has been handed to me. If Papah comes back again, then you don't respect me as a husband. Leader of your household.”
“I can't eat tempeh every day Rio!”
“Let me cook. I'll make sure you don't eat tempeh every day. But I ask.. hem... might be a little heavy,’.
“What?”
“You can find a cheap skincare brand just not? That local one? Until we graduate college and I find a decent job,”
“So I don't take care of a doctor?!”
“Your doctor's care a month can be 250million, I usually give you a living skincare about 500thousand a month.” Rio grinning.
“Skincare what is 500thousand a month? It's the same you told me to wash my face with detergent!!” exciting Anggun directly sewot.
In Rio's heart, this is just discussing skincare, not yet outfit. Get ready to slap in a minute.
