Jatmiko and Riyanti were a little surprised, in their minds there were no plans to marry Indah in the near future. The two of them looked at each other, as if they were having deliberation through their gazes.

" I am anyway, manut Mr. aja." said Riyanti resigned to this business to her Husband, because of his duties as the head of the household.

It was night, when Indah laid her body on the bed in her room.

The sound of knocking on the door sounded shortly after the girl was about to close her eyes, she had been rather exhausted all day.

"Sir,?, have slept yet, Mommy wants to talk for a while" Riyanti said, asking for permission to enter her daughter's room.

Indah was forced to wake up, then drag a step to open the door for the Mother. With a tired and sleepy face the girl lay back but with attention to her mother.

" Nduk, tomorrow so you go back to Bandung? "

" Yes bun, if later in jogja even later there will be no intention to lecture there" replied the girl innocently, Riyanti smiled thinly, her daughter was indeed a spoiled child.

" Yes, has the travel agent left tomorrow? "

" Already mother." replied Beautiful limp, her eyes were half closed, and occasionally jerked as if shocked.

Riyanti knows that his son has not responded to him, but he must speak to him before the opportunity is lost, if not he does now. With a heavy sigh, the woman began to compose the right sentence before being said, and of course with a very careful heart.

" sir,... You want to marry your friend's son " said the woman half-doubtfully, and also deliberately saw the response of her daughter.

Beautiful half her life was already in dreamland, so the girl looked dazed, confused but could still respond.

" That means beautiful in a match? "

Riyanti nodded. a little awkwardly smiled.

Beautifully scratching his head, the mind was still half focused.

" Mommy, beautiful is still a child, does not want marriage, besides is still in college. "answer Indah slightly deviated to understand the meaning of her mother's words.

" Who would love to marry you, nduk. nduk... , already..ah..bunda males menejelasinnya, .. sleep there. " finally Riyanti gave up talking about her point, rhyme, this is not the right time to discuss this matchmaking. The woman breezed out of the Beautiful room, so Beautiful returned to dreamland.

Early in the morning, Indah was still lazy to wake up, as a result of the monthly guests of women who were visiting. At 6 a.m., the girl had just opened her eyes, and went straight into the bathroom, cleaning herself.

Both his parents were in the dining room, Jatmiko asked the results of his wife who last night had been in the task of persuading her spoiled youngest daughter.

" How mom, our child wants to be in a mate right. " said the bespectacled man, who still looks handsome despite his age is not young anymore.

" What do you want sir, lha wong kabe turu" replied Riyanti as she fried her husband's favorite omelet.

Jatmiko was pensive, honestly she was also confused how to talk to Indah.then then crossed her mind, thinking of something.

" Mom, does it look beautiful to have a boyfriend? " the question was instantaneous, making Riyanti turn to her for a few seconds, before flipping the egg that was already on top of teflon.

" Mom did not know sir, but the boy never told anything about a man. "then Riyanti turned off the stove, and put the egg on the plate, then put it on the dining table. The woman seemed to think, though,

" When was she ever delivered with a boy, but the boy was her sister fachri, cook yes, they were dating? " he said again.

" It is impossible, . I am sure they are not dating, .. "sambar Jatmiko seems sure.

" What if, sir? " sung Riyanti felt worried.

" Who's dating Arman? " sambar Indah arrived, when he was quite sure his parents were talking about arman.

Riyanti and Jatmiko turned their heads towards him,

" Have you woken up? " the man said later, as if he missed his daughter.

Beautiful then sat with a face snatched.

" So really, Mommy is the same Father of Beautiful mate? " the boy continued grunting.

" You are not good with Om Darma, we are very close to nduk, besides his son Om Darma is a candidate for Doctor" explained Miko patiently.

" What does this have to do with it? " it seems that the girl is not happy with what her parents are planning for her future.

" Beautiful, listen to your father first! " sahut riyanti is a bit rude.

" It's beautiful to have a boyfriend, beautiful not to marry the same beautiful people do not like" reply Beautiful cuddle, the girl put again empty dishes that were going to be filled with rice. The girl then stood up and ran away, returning to her room.

Jatmiko and Riyanti, they looked at each other, seemed confused.

" Where is this sir? " said Riyanti looking helpless.

" We'll let it go first. "

In the room, it is beautiful to sit on a mattress, put the handset in the ear, listen to music. His heart was upset but also felt guilty towards his parents. The girl sat down and hugged the big panda doll.

" Mother and father really hearted, huh.. "

" so much sprain.. ihh. why do I have to be single..... " The girl grumbled with a pursed mouth . tired, annoyed but also resentful of herself, the girl then carried her body lying on the bed, still faithfully hugging her doll.

Ccleks...

the door opened suddenly, Indah immediately closed her eyes, pretending to sleep, she knew who had entered her room without permission.

The woman who gave birth to him now approached him after opening the door, then sat down on the bedside. Her delicate hand stroked the top of her head gently.

" Nduk, father and mother apologize, we know this makes you surprised and upset, .. well. if the affairs of a soul mate is God's business, but we as parents, we are, there is no harm in choosing a mate for you, thank goodness if you like the same soul mate we choose, but. if you do not like, mother and father will also not force, ... your father feels bad with his close friends, you know yesterday they look very familiar, there is no harm in your father and Om Darma strengthen their friendship, anyways after we think.. in terms of the future, at least his son Om Darma will have an established job, blah.... " Riyanti said at length, until Beautiful ears were hot listening to him.

the girl was bored, and finally decided to respond to what the Mother was talking about. The girl opened her eyes and woke up.

" Mother..beautiful to know where the direction of the talk of the mother, beautiful also know the meaning of the father and mother.huh" the girl took a breather when she finished talking. His brain began to work to find a solution, he wanted to refuse but also did not want to disappoint his parents. It is beautiful to love them. The girl took another deep breath, it seemed that she had to immediately come up with a solution that she thought was good, for both her parents also did not harm her either.

After a few minutes, he finally planned a negotiation for this solution.

" Mother. give Beautiful a chance, indeed. for now Beautiful has not had a boyfriend, please give a beautiful three months more chance to answer this matchmaking. "

Riyanti seemed to smile, disappointed but also did not want to impose.

"Hhhhh.., why 3 months, mother and father will be confused if Om Darma arrives to ask him"

The Javanese woman did not want to lose to her own son, also filed for negotiations.

" Ahh.. mother... . really, really, really, yes give it a beautiful time of 2 months."

" No. Mother wants it immediately.. "

" Mother.hiks..hiks evil deh, same daughter that. "

Riyanti glanced at the expression on her daughter's face, but the woman braced herself not to budge this time, the woman deliberately turned her face away,

" There is no tolerance" he said in a firm tone.

" mother.bunda cruel... uhhh.. " Pretty Whine with a pitiful face, completely confused and helpless.

Riyanti smiled with satisfaction, then turned her head and looked at her daughter whose face was in turmoil.
