"It's Nurmala? wear a veil more and more gelis atuh Neng!" guru njai Nurmala.

As usual there were not many words coming out of the silent girl's mouth, she just smiled or laughed while saying thank you.

By noon they had returned home with melting feet after traveling around the village. They sit talking while their fans are sultry. Not tired of them, a Suzuki carry entered the yard of Samsudin's house.

"Assalamualaikum" There was a voice at the door.

"Waalikum hail! Eee Kang Kodir! come on in please!" Samsudin let the chicken man sit in the living room. It appears with his wife, Kodir's bachelor son, and a daughter who is still in 5th grade Elementary School.

"Oh, there's Kodir kang!" Samsudin called his wife, Samira also invited his son to shake hands.

The young man looked sharply at Nurmala as he shook hands. "This is Deni, my son Kang, now independently has his own stand in the market!" Kodir introduced his son. Samsudin mangosteen heard Kodir's story.

"Your son has Kang's candidate?" kodir's question made Samsudin stammer.

"Nurmala meant? He still wants to find Kang's experience, still working in Bandung!" Samsudin did not want to be frank, because everything was not clear about his future son-in-law.

For Kodir, the answer shows that Samsudin does not want to immediately have a son-in-law. After making small talk, he left Samsudin's house.

"Look at Deni Nur! handsome, he also has his own business!" samira said after Kodir's family left his house. Nurmala only grimaced at her mother's words.

"Nur! you said you laughed!" Samira is upset with Nurmala's indifference.

"Ah, it's Mom! no need to force Nurmala, later when his soul mate comes he must also be married!" Bela Samsudin is greeted with a loving hug from her daughter.

"Hemmmh, please keep your son Sir!!" Samira sewot's. Samsudin could only scratch his head at his wife's scolding. Nurmala smiled to see her father hit by her mother.

"Assynnya!" a guest said hello on the porch.

"Waalikum hail, Nurmala, open the door!" samira's orders are eating food. Nurmala rushed to the front room.

"Kang Aldi??!!" Nurmala was excited by Aldi's presence on the first day of Lebaran, she imagined Aldi would come on the third or fourth day, this was faster than she imagined.

Aldi's smile expands as Nurmala herself opens the door for him.

"Let's go in Kang!" Nurmala invited Aldi to sit down, then rushed back to the back room to inform his mother that Aldi had come.

Samsudin who had been curious about Aldi was willing to leave his chicken rice on the dining table, while Samira still spent the rest of the side dishes.

"Assalamualaikum Sir!" greet Aldi shaking hands as Samsudin approaches. Samsudin's view swept Aldi's body from head to toe. Aldi bowed, he felt Nurmala had told him about herself.

"Not come home from Kang Aldi?" ask Samsudin later.

"No sir, it's not time yet" Aldi replied politely.

Samsudin smiled, he now no longer wondered why Nurmala was restless and agitated at the thought of her lover. He is handsome and has an aura of love.

"Assalamualaikum Buk!" Aldi shakes hands with a kiss on the back of his hand as Samira walks into the living room. His flat expression made Aldi a little nervous.

"Please Kang!" pinta Nurmala after putting warm tea on Aldi's front desk.

"What's up here, Kang?" ask Samira.

Samira was silent at Aldi's reply. In Samira's shadow, Nurmala could have a rich husband and own her own car, instead of taking the bus.

"I live behind Kang Aldi, please chat while enjoying the cakes made by Nurmala!" Samsudin wants to give his son a chance to let go of his miss.

"I'm also back then huh, it's still a long time here right? because the bus to Bandung is only tomorrow morning" said Samira.

"Oh so, buk! if so I should look for lodging or inns to stay tonight!" aldi said, but his heart hoped to be offered a stay at Nurmala's house.

"We'll see, please enjoy, I want to rest first" Samira said, walking to the back room leaving Nurmala and Aldi.

"What time does it leave from Bandung Kang?" nurmala asked after a moment they fell silent.

"Morning, like you left yesterday!"

"Drink Kang's tea!" nurmala Pinta.

"Oh yes!" Aldi lifted the cup and sipped it quietly.

"Sweetest, is it Kang?"

"That's enough, if there's less of you!"

Aldi started to take out his appeal.

"Cock there's me?" Nurmala's confused.

"Yes, if the tea is less sweet looking at you, all the bitter in the world will be sweet Nur!"

"Aaaah.gombal You Kang!"

Nurmala blushed in embarrassment, Aldi just smiled glancing at Nurmala triumphantly. As they chatted, Samsudin went back into the living room.

"Let's Kang Aldi eat the cake, don't do it!" said Samsudin while dredging the beans in the jar.

"It's Nurmala Kang Aldi's!" samsudin said while chewing the beans.

"I'm just frying sir, which makes Ibuk, later if you hear you can be scolded, sir!" nurmala said, which was greeted with the laughter of Aldi and Samsudin.

After his father came Nurmala to the back room, he wanted to prepare a meal for Aldi. Nurmala let Aldi chat with his father.

The two men of different ages talked, got to know each other more closely with the origin of the region, the number of families, work and stories about their experiences in the world of making a family living. They feel good about each other. Samsudin assessed, Aldi already has the criteria of the principle of prospective husband Nurmala.

"Let's Kang, let's eat first!" pinta Nurmala after all she's prepared.

"Please Kang Aldi, how you feel!" samsudin said.

Aldi stood up and followed Nurmala into the back room. He felt the atmosphere of the house, simple but it looked clean and cool. Vegetables and fruits are well preserved in the backyard of the Nurmala house. Aldi can judge the father of Samsudin who diligently worked.

"What job is Nur?" ask Aldi when they finish eating.

"Housewife Kang, take care of the sisters!" answer Nurmala. They went back to the living room. Samsudin is still seen sitting there.

"Sir, Sir! if you're sleepy, just move to the room!" Nurmala woke up her father who was asleep in the chair.

"Ehmm, yeah yeah!" samsudin replied half-consciously. Then he stood staggered towards the middle room, and threw his body on the couch.
