why did I become more and more sobbed when Caca moved to sit next to me and hugged me while sobbing
"Makasiii bangett Na, you give a new life to mom. I'm really proud of you... maybe if I were in the position you wouldn't be able to do the same."
"Don't overestimate me Ca, my life process makes me like this. Remind me if at any time I change"
Tired of heart, that's how I feel right now.Although not all clear, one by one can be passed. Still contemplating in the room that the last few days became my favorite place.
"Adekkk.." call Rizon into the room.
"We ngeteh yuk." he said while sitting with me.
A cup of tea and hot chocolate, 'cause he knows I don't like tea very much. With toast made by Rizon himself.
"Pity already understood this situation he did not get tired of saying that word.
"Plisss don't always thank you very much. This is the way of life for both of us..."
He just looked at me deeply. I can feel his heart again. There was a lot of worry in those black eyes, but he kept it very deep.
"Adek had a call to mother.adek story a little problem we.. initially mother had thought strangely, and had no confidence as well..but adek selamin.pelan mother can understand."
"Which parents are not confused suddenly his daughter said she wanted to get married"
"Can't you talk to mom and dad?" Petanya.
I grabbed the phone on the table. No need to wait long to connect.
"Halloo ma'am.." My clothes slow down.
"Yes, son..."
"Someone wants to talk" I said as I pressed the speaker button.
"Hello ma'am, this is Rizon. how are you" said Rizon kindly.
"Well son... How is your mother???" Ask the mother from across.
I told you about Rizon's mother's condition. And the condition of his family. So my mom didn't ask me too many details about them.
"Nina's already the core story of the problem. And the same father and several nuclear families just happened to be able to gather. If that is your intention, we can only give you blessing. Quite suddenly and Nina's family thinks you've done something wrong."
"I'm sorry about that mom. I swear by anything, we had a clean relationship."
"The name of the person can think differently, son" complained the mother
"Sorry mother, when we get home I'll explain in front of Nina's extended family." Rizon reassured mom.

Morning at the dinner table
"Mom, dad..." Dank wants to tell you something..
Dank's intentions are well rounded. Dank is getting married" said Rizon loudly and confidently opened the silence in the morning.
Dad stopped his mouthful immediately.
"How is Nina's family in Medan, son..."
"Dad don't worry, it's dank's responsibility"
"Nina how?" Ask dad while looking at me
"So brother Rizon is sure, there is no reason for me to doubt Well.." I tried to calm down.
Mom smiled looking at Rizon and I took turns.
"You guys are amazing kids, baby..."
"Muuu." shaking my head forbade tears.
"There are no tears, I must be excited. Who will prepare everything if you are sick?? If you're happy, we'll be happier"
While enjoying breakfast, enthusiastically mom, Caca, dad talked about all the preparations. But Rizon and I don't want all that luxury. I just want a simple ritual. Maybe later at the right time there will be an event as they want.
"Dank doesn't want the luxury of mothers, for now it's quite a simple event, close family, there will be time to make a big event." Rizon gave an understanding.
"Tomorrow plans and want to go to meet Nina's parents. The holidays are not much more... I've spoken on the phone before, and I have to ask permission and talk to the family there..."
The conversation continued like endless. Mother who looks happy. Caca started searching.
"This family is so expecting this relationship" my mind was happy too

The sound of Inah's call at the door made me open my eyes again.
"Mom told her non-room" she explained conveying mother's message.
With a lazy step I headed towards my mother's room. Greeted with her gentle smile.
"Mom call Nina?"
"Yes son, sit here" and tell me to sit on the edge of the bed near him.
The woman opened the red box that I saw the night before
While sorting out some he asked me to raise my hand.
Without comment I put out my right hand.
A very sweet bracelet was placed on my right hand. And it's no ordinary bracelet.
"It used to be a bracelet given to your mother-in-law before marriage to you, and now I want you to wear it."
"It's so pretty in your hands, son, you have to look after it" she said, still looking at my hand.
"It's too expensive mom..."
"Ga honey... pretty you wear.." her smile really broke.

By utilizing the time there is all prepared really quickly. Some big families are getting along.
Fortunately, technology is sophisticated today. Dad and mom video call with mom and dad, talk about what to prepare. It was as if there was no distance between the two far-flung cities.
"Adek.ikut brother yuk" asked Rizon who was neat.
"Where's sis?"
"Follow, you'll also know..."
I followed his steps which seemed to be in a hurry. Open the car door and leave the house immediately.
Without asking much, I just kept quiet about where he was going to take me.
The car stopped in front of a store, and it was a jewelry store. After properly parking the car I followed her steps into that magnificent shop.
"Om Adi is there?" He told a shopkeeper.
"Some, just go in" said the waiter as he led us into a room that looked like someone was busy in it.
"Rizon.." he said hello as if he knew.
"It's Nina om.." said Rizon introduced me.
The kindly man called "om" by Rizon welcomed my helping hand.
While letting us sit down, Adi took out a few small boxes. It was a couple ring.
"This is the latest model, the size problem can later be made" he explained to make Rizon mangosteen.
"Stek choose which one he wants.." said Rizon softly.
My eyes were fixed on a pair of very simple rings. There is one little gem that makes it look sweet.
"What is this, brother? I grabbed that little box.
"Sister was thinking that too." He said while taking and pinning it on my sweet day. Comfortable to wear and look beautiful.
Same thing Rizon tried her partner's ring. And the size fits.
"Wahhh.the first choice of a matchmaking nie om."
"Want to try something else?" Ask Adi then
" How about the deck" convinced me
"No, if you want something else. But that one's simple, adek likes it"
"That's all om..."
"Yes already, later in the afternoon just bring it. later the carving of his name first.
Om Adi is none other than the younger brother of the father whose wife is Aunt Wulan. Pantesan is very close.
"Om, here..." Rizon hands over her debit card to pay for the pair of rings. But even Adi pushed to return it to Rizon.
"This is your wedding gift from om.... Your sacrifice is priceless with just a pair of rings.o.m proud it turns out to be a grown-up ponakan om, and not selfish. May all be waged and you lasting relationships & death separate."
"Makasi om... your support is very valuable for us. and may you be happy with all this" said Rizon while saying goodbye to go home, because there is still much to do.
