After the Resto, Rangga invited Nani and Pomegranate to take a walk in the city park.

Rangga plans to buy her an engagement ring tomorrow. The heart of Pomegranate hesitates. Fear of not being able to be a mother for Angel. Although he himself had three younger siblings, but never took care of them directly. In addition, his age is far from Kak Rangga. Brother Rangga will be burdened with him who can not think mature.

"Honey, all require a process is not instant," said Kak Rangga reassured about the doubts of Pomegranate.

"Jalani was Pomegranate, I know you are capable because we have been together for so many years. The personality you have, tenderness, and patience like Mama who will be the capital to wade through household mahligai with Kak Rangga," said Nani best friend since childhood.

"Honey, I will try to understand and believe in you, also give confidence to Brother that family above all else. Insyallah Brother will not be wishing for Pomegranate unfortunately Brother," said Kak Rangga once again.

That night passed just to convince Pomegranate. They came home when it was late.

Bismilahs. Pomegranate began to believe that he would accept Kak Rangga's proposal officially in front of his family and Kak Rangga's family.

Sunday morning around 10:00 Kak Rangga came with Angel. Brother Rangga looks really cool. With a blue color polo t-shirt salted eggs combined with blue fabric pants dongker. His face looks smooth, his mustache, and his beard does not look like it might have been cleaned a few hours ago. Angel, today she is so happy. The clothes in the Mini and Micky picture are in line with his tiny sneakers. His agility made Pomegranate and Nani become jolly.

The pomegranate is ready to go. Nani can't come because there's an appointment with a friend.

Arriving in front of Kak Rangga Pomegranate asking for an opinion about his appearance.

" Rangga's sister, Pomegranate is suitable not to wear this shirt?"

"Suitable and beautiful, dear, Brother prefers you not to wear anything, " said Rangga to comment a little straight.

"Sister, there's a little boy!" the word Pomegranate reminds the Stairs.

Rangga saw Angel who was cool looking at the picture in the magazine of the woman owned by her sister Nani

"Mama don't wear what Pa ?" angel asked without moving her gaze from the image seen to Pomegranate's face

"No eyelashes, mascara, or eyeliner" Rangga said.

Angel looked at Pomegranate's face carefully. From face to bottom of body and feet.

"The face of Mama Pomegranate is very beautiful, Angel likes and loves very much," said Angel praised him.

They finally left. Heading to the mall when he arrived at the jewelry store Rangga asked the waiter to show a pair of wedding rings. He took a box consisting of several pairs of wedding rings.

Angel is no less existent. He asked Rangga to sit in a high chair.

"It's good, Ma," said Angel pointing to a pair of plain silver rings.

"Yes, just pick this up, brother, will you?" ask Pomegranate.

"Sir, try this one!" show Rangga.

A pair of rings were taken and tried on Pomegranate hands and Rangga hands. Fit.

"I'm taking this !" said Rangga

handing Black Card. After transaction. The waiter returned the Black Card. The ring and the place of the ring of the velvet material in the form of a love red was given to Rangga.

After buying the ring, they stopped by KFC for lunch. Pomegranate ordered three rice, rice,

two spicy fried chicken, and one original fried chicken. With three lemon tea . While enjoying lunch the voice greeted Rangga.

"Hi, are you really Rangga?" greet Nancy with a spoiled voice.

The one who was called raised his head. His eyes narrowed indicating he was thinking. When you remember the smile on her lips.

"You're Nancy ? Come sit!" rangga said kindly

"Hello Cantika, did you forget me? I'm Nancy you look younger and prettier," Nancy praised. The one who was called was silent. Pomegranate looked at Rangga to ask for an explanation. Rangga's face looked paled confused to explain. Angel's view was void to ask because Angel spoke first.

"Tante, this isn't Mama but Aunt Pomegranate!" said Angel.

"I'm sorry, I'm Nancy Cantika's best friend" Nancy said.

" Where is Cantika Rangga, why not come?" ask Nancy next. Slowly Rangga explained.

"Cantika died two months after giving birth to Angel" Rangga said in a hoarse voice.

"I'm sorry, I don't know," said Nancy ," I'll excuse you first ".

Nancy's departure leaves awkwardness.

"Honey, please give the opportunity to Brother explain everything," pinta Rangga by holding Pomegranate's hand.

"Yes, Brother. Let's continue eating it," said Pomegranate very calmly.

Rangga had not yet let go of the hand that held Pomegranate's hand. The tighter the grip. Rangga's eyes were fixed looking at Pomegranate's eyes. I want to talk a lot.

"Come, our sister continues to eat," said Pomegranate invite Rangga to eat again. Rangga nodded slowly.

When they were done, they went straight home. Pomegranate's right hand held Angel, while his left hand was not separated from Rangga's grasp. Angel asked to sit in front and in my seat Pomegranate. Not until five minutes Angel fell asleep, because it was time to take a break. Even in the car, Rangga's hand did not want to release his hand. Pomegranate's gaze was fixed on the outside of the window. Though silent, there was actually a lot he wanted to ask. Trying to understand the situation. The car that was driven was running slowly, because Rangga was driving it with one hand. The direction of the car is different directions, not to mes Pomegranate place

"Sister, why come here? " ask Pomegranate.

"We put Angel to bed first at home, after that Brother and you go home. You don't mind, do you?" rangga said his thoughts.

"As for Brother, Pomegranate comes along" replied Pomegranate.

Sometimes Rangga looked at Pomegranate. The noticed closed his eyes. Either asleep or reluctant to be spoken to by Rangga.

Focus on the road to get home soon.

The car entered the towering gate. A European-style whitewashed house stands firm. Pomegranates admire him a lot. Rangga opened the steering door slowly. Running around the car from the front. Open the front passenger door. Rangga's hand grabbed Angel's tiny body. Rangga's face almost attached to the face of the left Pomegranate.

"Darling, I love you" said Rangga.

A gentle kiss landed on the left cheek of the Pomegranate. Angel is already in Rangga's arms. The pomegranate came out with an irritated squeeze that he harbored. Rangga locked the car and Pomegranate followed from behind. If the words from Rangga that he had just heard before knew that his face resembled Mbak Cantika, it might make him soar. But Pomegranate now knew that the resemblance angered him.

Dukes

Pomegranate's body hit a large tall figure in front of him. Rangga.

"If the road does not daydream," said Rangga reminded. The pomegranate answered. Just nod. Door opened. The room inside made the Pomegranate gobsmacked.

"Follow sister to Angel's room" said Rangga.

Pomegranates follow from behind. Angel's room is on the second floor. The door is painted pink with a picture of the princess and Angel's writing in front of her. Rangga signals the Pomegranate to open. Rangga went in and put his daughter's body. Pomegranate's eyes swept the room in shades of pink with the trinkets of a princess.

...CANTIKA'S...

His eyes stopped on the large-sized photo His feet stepped closer just a meter in front of him. Like mirror. The reflection on the photo was similar to her face, wearing a white dress. Hair is left unbroken by wearing a crown. Beautiful as the name canTIKA. The pomegranate was shocked when his body was hugging from behind..

"Honey, she's Cantika the wife I love so much. The figure of a gentle and kind wife, willing to accompany me to fight from I have nothing. Cantika is a Mama but has never felt like a Mama. God loves him more. Take from us those who love him," said Rangga. A single tear fell on the shoulder of the Pomegranate. Rangga's head rested comfortably there. Pomegranates are silent as listeners.

"Sorry Ma, Papa brought Pomegranate to this house to accompany Papa and Angel. I hope you like your choice of Papa. Papa asked for the blessing Mama next Sunday will propose Pomegranate to immediately become Papa's wife," said Rangga and stopped because of sobs and water

eyes fell on the Pomegranate's shirt.

"Sister Rangga, in front of the photo of Ms. Cantika I beg to cancel the proposal of Brother. Pomegranates do not want to be the shadow of Mbak Cantika. All this will be a burden Pomegranate for life, "no sound of crying but a tear fell on Rangga's hand.

Rangga immediately turned the body of the Pomegranate until they looked at him.

"Darling, Brother please don't ever leave Brother again. Your faces are similar. But your brother's love for you is not the same. You're Brother's first love. The love that you bring to adulthood. Brother is too cowardly to dare not take a stand

asked you to be a wife at that time. At Cantika Brother's love grows as time passes. When we felt fit to decide to be together. Pomegranate unfortunately Brother, accompany brother in the rest of this age, "said Rangga in despair. Rangga's embrace is getting tighter. Pomegranate was silent for a long time. Slowly the Pomegranate released his embrace.

"The Pomegranate Decision is round, Brother. Please bring the pomegranate back to the mes again," said Pomegranate already steady.

Pomegranate steps towards the door to exit the room. The track from behind. To take Pomegranate home.
