Nathan and his parents came together to a jewelry store to find a ring that fit to propose to the widow, who was confused because there was no word from her son.

The husband who usually knows is in order now has to follow the wishes of the wife this morning after delicious - fun he watched a news show on one of the television stations found a shout from his beloved wife.

Mr. Banu who slightly doubted the decision of his wife and child to propose a widow they just knew, a little expressed to not as intended. The wife, who asked her husband to see how Sasi really was, pleaded not to judge the woman before meeting and meeting face to face.

Mr. Banu who is not used to judging people just because the cover alone finally decided to participate to the student city and also prepare the needs for the proposal. And prepare to meet directly with the woman who is none other than the mother of Aslan, the former daughter-in-law of the Mahardika family. But without them thinking when choosing jewelry they met the big lady and the first child of Mr. Mahardika.

JEWELRY SHOP

When they are choosing a ring and other embellishment. From the direction of the entrance of Galih and the mother came together.

“Mbak I want this one. Can see first.”

The salesman nodded and took a set of couple rings and was shown to Nathan.

“Gimana Sakha's. Good no?”

When Nathan or Sakha is trying the ring the mother of Galih greets the mother.

“Loh. Mrs Suryabrata? Is it here?” sapanya was a little surprised to see and meet the rarely exposed big madam.

“Iya. You?” asked Madam Anggi to remember where she had met the older woman.

“My wife and big lady Mahardika,” she said jumawa.

Nathan who was trying on the ring immediately turned his head. Staring at the middle-aged woman who gave the big name of Sasi's ex-husband.

The father who saw the surprised face of the child immediately nudged his arm.

“Why?” tanyakanya.

“She's ex-Husband. Women who want Mama to apply for me,” said Sakha.

The father scrunched his forehead. So that woman is the former daughter-in-law of the Mahardika family? But which one? What was married a few years ago? thought the middle-aged man in his mind.

SASI RESIDENCE, YOGYAKARTA

Aslan who saw the habit of the mother who rubbed her nose because she was nervous asked in her mind. Did the mother make the mistake of offending the man? An unwarranted fear enveloped the hearts of both the child and the mother.

“Ma!” call Aslan.

Sasi tried to strengthen his heart. With a heavy heart, Sasi finally decided to meet the three people. The 31-year-old woman grabbed Aslan by the arm and greeted her guests.

“Se good morning.”

Sasi who was afraid to stutter even now both hands tremble. While Aslan prepared his heart and mental if the mother will get bad treatment or something like that. A pair of mothers and children who were quite traumatized by the behavior of the rich people chose to be careful not to get into trouble. However, what is this?

“Good morning, Sasi. How's it going? We haven't seen each other in a week, have we?”

Sasi nodded with a potluck smile. While Nathan who saw the tension of the child and mother is smelling his smile.

“Include. This is my husband. Her father Sakha.”

Mr. Banu reached out his hand and was greeted with reverence by Sasi. Mr. Banu who saw it was quite impressed with Sasi who was simple and quite restraint even though he knew this mother and child must be thinking bad things.

“Our arrival is here for .. “

Aslan held onto the mother's body tightly and looked at the woman who gave birth to her heartily.

Nathan, who had expected this, could no longer hold back his laughter, which finally exploded.

His parents, Sasi and Aslan, looked strangely at Nathan, who laughed in a situation that was not funny at all.

“You. Why?” ask the father.

“They're funny end, Pah.”

The upset mother hit Nathan using the bag he was carrying, “Basic didn't know himself!” the mother's sarcasm makes Nathan even more divisive.

“Pardon Sakha yes, Sasi. Sometimes he sucks and wants to be alone.”

“Not sometimes. But it always sucks,” grumbled the father.

Madam Suryabrata who has the full name Anggita Salma Suryabrata was nudging the arms of the husband so as not to open the disgrace of the child. He reached out his hand to Aslan and was greeted with fear - fear by the nearly nine-year-old

“Sini dong, near Eyang.”

Aslan got up from his seat and approached towards the middle-aged woman.

“What class is it now?”

“Class 4.”

“How old is he?” ask the lord Banu who does not believe that Aslan is 4th class.

“Usiannearly nine, Mr.”

“Not if nine new class 3 yes normally,” Nathan who heard it nodded.

“Aslan jump class Eyang.”

Nathan and his mother are shocked to hear Aslan's words.

“Lo jump class?” said Mr. Banu surprised.

“Iya Sir. Aslan wasn't in second grade he went straight to 3rd grade. Tk also Aslan only one year,” said Sasi explained their shock about Aslan.

The two middle-aged people looked at each other. God, if his son is this smart what about his mother. Think they. Hopefully this time the child does not choose wrongly. Not according to precisely Aslan will reject with the mathematical formula he mastered later. It seems that Nathan must have a surefire tactic if Sasi rejects this proposal because Aslan disagrees.

“Em.. Aslan if that Om proposed to your mom and became your dad. Are you ready?” ask Madam Anggi with all the courage she has.

Aslan who was asked a strange question according to him could only look at the mother who was also looking at him.

“I mean Eyang, Om Nathan wants Mama to be his wife, so?” ask Aslan.

Nathan and the two middle-aged men nodded with a gentle smile towards Aslan.

“Then ask Mama. Why ask me,” Aslan said. The old men also mengulum smile they heard Aslan's words that are true.

Nathan who sat a little away from Sasi came straight over and took Sasi's hand, “So, are you ready?” nathan asked Sasi.

Sasi who still felt surprised by all these things felt like she was dreaming. One month ago this man in front of her offered marriage because they were looking for each other's benefits. But now, the man came back with a proposal to take his parents with him.

Was the marriage he was going to have with Nathan no longer because of mutual benefit but because he seriously wanted to build a housewife together?
