Arriving at the residence of the Chica family, Al and the group are welcomed by the welcoming committee. Although today is scheduled only to hold a marriage contract, but there is a medium-sized tent equipped with rows of chairs and dishes at the buffet table in front of the house.
"Welcome," said one of the men standing at the front.
"Please. please..other men hurriedly invite the family of the groom to occupy the seat that has been provided.
As per Al's request, Ken did not shift in the slightest from the man's side. Even Al continued to tightly grip his girl's hand as if he did not want to be separated.
"Sinian," cried Al so Ken wanted to sit on one of the benches next to him that had been filled by people.
"Here, here," he asked again. Al chose the most unfilled bench. One for her, two beside her for Ken and Lisha.
Lisha who had walked behind them since getting out of the car could only smile. He was happy when he saw his son happy. That alone was enough, there was nothing he wanted on this earth other than to make amends after long abandoning his beloved son.
"They're a suitable couple, ma'am," exclaimed Mr. Komar who was asked to come in by Lisha and sit beside her.
"Yes, seeing them like that I'm so happy" lisha exclaimed.
"May they be a match," said Mr. Komar.
"Aamiinu. Lisha.
Mr. Komar also introduced Bram's father to his employer. A rare occasion, they could gather like this. On that occasion, Lisha unceasingly thanked Mr. Komar and the Bram family. They had a big part in his son's life.
After sitting quietly and sweeping his gaze across the corner filled with invited guests, Al's gaze was fixed on one figure he was very familiar with. The man in the family line of the bride also seemed to be aware when Al noticed her. Especially when he saw Pak Komar and Lisha who were beside Al.
"Om Ryan," cried Al who could be heard clearly by Lisha and Komar sir. Spontaneously the two men set their sights on following Al.
"Yes, it's her," insisted Lisha who suddenly looked so riled up.
"Are you right, sir?" Lisha asks Mr. Komar to reassure his vision.
"Yes, very true Madam," said Mr. Komar so sure.
"Quiet, Ma. Let Al talk to that jerk, "Al tries to win over Lisha who is getting uncomfortable in that place. Al took his mother's hand to give him strength.
"That means she's his family, Chica," whispered Al inwardly. Why Bram never told me. Although Al never gave Om Ryan surely Bram knew if there was a family of his future wife who had a business like he had told me.
"Oh, that's fine, too, people. He had been dating for a long time until he did not know Chica's close family" Al grumbled.
Although he was so furious, Al could still hold back. He did not immediately approach and judge the man who had been too involved in his family affairs.
Al is still trying to be patient, he is waiting for the kabul kabul to be finished and will finish his business with Om Ryan. Thoughts and views could not be separated from the man. He did not want Om Ryan to run away from the place to avoid it.
During the event, Al looked very upset. Ken who was beside him could read the anger of his lover. Because the situation was so solemn, Ken could only pat Al on the shoulder for a moment. That seems to be enough for a situation like this.

After giving congratulations to Bram and Chica, Al hurriedly approached Om Ryan who was still sitting in his original place.
"How are you, Om?" greet Al. He gave the code so that the man would talk to him with four eyes.
"Al huh? I almost didn't recognize you but once Madame Lisha was next to you I could guess it was you" said Om Ryan trying as calmly as possible.
"Yes, may Om not consider me a ghost" said Al.
"Ha.ha.... You could have. I never thought that far" said the man, beginning to take control of himself.
"We're better off inside. Let's be more free," asked Om Ryan. He began to rise from his seat and walked into the house.
Al coded Ken and his mother to stay in place. He casually followed Om Ryan from behind. While Bram who is still photographs with family and invited guests also curious about Al. Why did he get to know the family of his wife while Al had never been out of coming?
"I'm glad you got to hang out with your mama again" said Om Ryan as he sat on the living room couch. It was just the two of them in that room. The whole family and the invitation were enjoying a meal in the tent that had been prepared beside the house.
"Happy or surprised?" search Al with an unpleasant mimic.
"I know my sin against you and Mr. Baron's family in the past is so mounting. If you still hold a grudge until now, I can understand. My sins may not be forgiven" said the man regretfully.
Al could not hold anything accountable because of how much influence this man had on the destruction of his family only he and Maria knew. Moreover, looking at his current condition, it seems that his life is no better than that time, when he was still often in and out of his house freely because it became an accomplice of Mary.
"What can I help you with?" ask the man seriously enough.
"Can I trust you?" Al hasn't answered Om Ryan's question, so he wants to know the seriousness of the person first.
"Meaning Bram can live a good life because it helps your efforts I'm quite happy. Chica is the daughter of a little sister whom I love very much. I'm happy he can get a very responsible life partner like Bram. Because Bram is hanging on to you, without being asked I'd be very grateful to you Al. Chica's like my own son, so Bram's indirectly my man,"
"Well, if that's why you're gonna help me for a while I'm gonna trust you. Help me!" pinta Al with all her heart.
"Of course, what do you want from me?" ask Ryan again.
"Maybe you know if all this time Maria can not trade. The master's degree embedded in him was just a lie, his ability was a big zero. I'm sure he's just leveraging people's trust to gain sympathy and profit. I wonder what kind of business he's in and where he's running the money he's making from that investment?"
Ryan took a deep breath. Al's question was very complete, he suspected Al had already sought information about Maria. The explanation that will be given this could be just to be sure. So he had to be vigilant, He could not dodge and protect Mary anymore.
"From mama?" Said Ken who was already standing in front of the door. He seemed hesitant when saying that sentence because Al and Om Ryan looked so serious.
"Yes, have you finished eating?" al asked because he had separated himself from the group long enough.
"No, you want a photo of the bride" Ken explained.
"Oh, yes. We have to take a photo of Om's bride so that there is a memento" said Al. He immediately stood up from his seat, followed by Om Ryan.
"I'm asking you not to tell anyone that you're with me. I believe Om can do it,"
"Yes, Al. Thank you for calling me Om" said the man, looking so happy.
"We set a schedule for coffee together. Let me talk to Bram,"
"Yes, I'll be ready whenever you ask,"
"Thank you" said Al smiling. His first smile was for Om Ryan.
Once in front, Al and Om Ryan soon join their respective entourage. Bram who was enjoying his lunch immediately docked to Al's seat. He wanted to know what happened between his boss and one of his wife's relatives.
"Udah, finish your meal. His guest was waiting for the salaman. They want to say goodbye" Al said when Bram was sitting next to him.
"They eat too. Don't bother. What's going on between you and Om Ryan?" search Bram.
"If I explain it now, from this moment on you have to work. Don't force me to do that to you. I'm giving leave to you. At least you can enjoy your first night without any work interruptions" Al said.
"Eh, sorry. The first night, anyway. Sorry wrong," Al corrected his words.
"Deh... ngeledek aja continues," said Bram who felt Al began to tease him.
"But the first night. A night where you can do your duty calmly and lawfully. Not by hiding" Al chirped again.
"So on," grumbled Bram who was getting hot with Al's guionan.
