“O Yes Den, may not Mamang ask something same Den Niko ?”

“Oh, please just ! What do you want?”

“This Den, Mamang want to ask, but Aden do not take offense first !”

“Iya Mang, it's okay, I will not be offended really, Mamang said aja.”

“Gini , has Aden had a ?”

“Means Mamang, lover ?” niko asked, glancing her eyes at Intan.

Seeing that, Intan lowered his head in order to endure the embarrassment.

“Ooo, if that one, it seems like it hasn't really Mang yet ! no one wants to be with me, Mang.”

“Not really want ?”

“Iya Mang, it looks like I, will get a long match nih.”

“How if Mamang match you the same Intan !”

“What ? Same Intan ?”

“Iya same Intan, this kindhearted Mang princess !” said Mang Ojo while pinching Intan's cheek beside him.

Hearing the words of his Father, Intan became embarrassed, covered his face with a palm.

.”This father by the way what the hell is ?”

“If it's the same Intan, I want Mang ! want to bang.” Answer Niko tampa.

Hearing Niko's honesty, Intan was surprised by the reeds, because it was not suspected at all, if Niko as soon as it would answer the questions asked by her Father.

“Abang serious ?”

“iya, dear.”

“But, I was just kidding earlier.”

“Nggak Intan, I'm not kidding, I like Den Niko so much, besides he is good, he is a sholeh child.”

“Alas you don't want to be with Niko?”

Intan did not answer the question Mang Ojo asked him, he did not dare to answer it, because of shame.

“Diam means like.” Mang Ojo answered, deciding for himself.

“Map !” answer Intan shame.

“But you have to remember one thing, we are just poor people, living in the slums area, which the rich and the officials are disgusted with our existence. If Aden wants to marry Intan Aden must be ready to bear the shame and insults of people.”

“I'm ready Mang!”

“Do not quickly make a decision, because this issue concerns the future of Den Niko himself.”

“Iya Mang, I understand that.” Answer Niko responsibly.

Hearing Niko's ability, Intan became embarrassed and she ran to her room. Niko, who could not help herself, ran after her.

“Do not chase, just let him be ashamed, that's the habit of a woman ! But if the shame is no longer there it we just ask.” Mang Ojo said while pulling Niko's hand.

“So when can I bring my parents here Mang?” ask Niko impatiently

“if you are ready, the sooner the better.”

“Wah, whoa, whoa ! There's a plenary meeting like this?” ledek Ranita from the front room.

“This, Niko's problem with Intan, Mamang wants to match the two of them, even if Den Niko's parents agree !”

“Ooo, apparently Neng Ranita peeping too, huh ? but who is suitable for him ?” Ledek Mang Ojo's.

“Wah, if so, disappointed deeeh !” ranita answered.

“Not to be disappointed ! There will still be me!” alhuda exclaimed from the corner of the room.

Hearing Alhuda's pleasant voice, all eyes exchanged glances, they seemed to not believe what he had just heard.

“So, you really like Big Brother, Alhuda ?” ranita asked in disbelief.

“Why not, big sister is beautiful and kind. Loss it feels if I reject a woman as beautiful as that.”

Hearing the narration from Alhuda, Ranita's face immediately flushed can not bear to hear the praise of Alhuda.

“You're serious Son ?” asked Mang Ojo in disbelief.

“Yes, I'm serious Sir, if Ranita's sister agrees.”

“But brother Just kidding, Deck ! why should it be put into the heart ?”

“So I can't think of this as a joke but I'm not !” Alhuda.

“But older brother than you, you know ? do you want to marry an old woman ? Meanwhile, you are handsome, talented and bank director again !”

“Didn't Rasullullah, marry Siti Khodijah with age differences that are far apart ? Why is it impossible brother, let alone five years, different ten years is not the time is ?”

“Truely so?”

“And that too many other people do, why can't we ?” alhuda said in a loud voice. ”Lagian I do not want to marry a woman, who I do not know his kindness.I also want to have a wife who sincerely loves my parents. And all that I found inside brother.”

Hearing the transparent narration of the Alhuda, Mang Ojo could not do anything. In his heart he was so amazed at his eldest son, dared to take risks for the happiness of his parents.

“Then we will have two marriages at once, even if the Neng Ranita and Den Niko families agree. For that, speak to them both carefully, who knows your good intentions will be granted by Allah Swt.”

“Good Mang.” answer both simultaneously.

Meanwhile, when Mang Ojo thought about the wedding of his two children, in another room the guests were still cool to enjoy the event that was still going on.

Then Mang Ojo stood up to meet his wife, discussing the marriage of his two children.

Fatma did not reject him at all, she just according to what Mang Ojo said. Fatma agreed with the plan in her husband's favor.

“Why if Ranita and Niko's parents do not approve of this matchmaking sir ? do we have a way out ?” fatma asked her husband.

“Shortly, I must think first. What's a good way out for them ?” said Mang Ojo turned his brain back. “ Yes Allah, I do not find the way Mom, everything looks dead end.”

“I got the exit, Sir !” alhuda answered from behind his parents' door curtains.

“What is it, son ?” asked Mang Ojo to know.

“Begini only ! tomorrow Father and Mother come to the house of Ranita's parents, to propose to him.”

“But do you have any money for the application later ?”

“If that's the case, I don't have to think about it, my savings are there for it.”

“Oh, thank goodness, but are you sure of your decision, son ? because this is not a joke, this is for your future later.”

“Why do I doubt this decision of Ku, Mom ?”

“Because according to Mother you made a hasty decision.”

“Mother is wrong, if you consider my decision is in a hurry, Mother and Father know for themselves who Ranita is not ? in addition to being smart he also has good ethics, which man does not want to marry such a woman.

“Iya, I know, but Ranita has aged far from you.”
