Adam drove Tari home to his house.

"I wasn't told to stop by Nieh Tar" he said as soon as they arrived in front of the terrace of Tari's house.

"Mas just go home there, anyways mas Adamkan already awaited the same mama mas Adamkan."

Adam was jealous because he felt driven away by his lover, "I was cast out."

Dance chuckled at Adam's behavior which she thought was like a child.

"Not that I ngusir mas, just that mama mas Adam will worry, after all this is already night you know mas, what the neighbors will say." Dance tried to give understanding to her lover who sometimes behaved childishly.

"I'll be home, but sun first." Adam put his index finger to the lips as a code asking Tari to kiss him.

"Apaan sieh mas." Tari's face reddened in shame.

"Look Sun first, if that's what I don't want to go home."

The dance quickly kissed Adam's cheek, instead of being lipped as Adam wanted.

"Go, let's go and Adam's come home."

"And I'm asking here." touched her lips, "Not cheeked."

"Oh my God, don't be like a little kid, ntar when you see what people look like."

"Let's just say, we'll soon be married." Adam didn't give up.

"Dear sun here, let me sleep well and have good dreams." Adam whined like a little boy who asked to buy a toy.

"Oh my God, Adam." sighed Dance.

In order for Adam to leave quickly, Dari was finally forced to grant his lover's wish, as before, he would do so quickly, Adam had closed his eyes waiting for a sweet kiss from the lover, 3 centi, 2 centi, Adam had closed his eyes waiting for the sweet kiss from the lover, 1 Centi, nature seemed not to permit, for when their lips were about to touch, Rahma's father suddenly came.

"Ekhemmm." he cleared his throat to tell her whereabouts.

Deheman's voice made Dari startled and immediately pulled her face away.

Adam opened his eyes and saw Rahman's father, who was wearing a sarong and a cocoa shirt complete with a peck, Rahman's father seemed to have just returned from the mosque.

"Dad" said Tari misbehaved to see the sudden arrival of her father.

"Dad, I just got home from the mosque." said Adam, grabbing Rahman's hand and kissing her.

Adam's oath was very embarrassed, if until Rahman's father saw them kissing could-be he was considered a jerk again.

"Yes, Adam, I just came home from the mosque, Adam's son was a long time ago" asked Rahman's father back.

Seeing the whereabouts of Adam in his house, Rahman's father is convinced that his daughter and Adam have made up, and he is grateful for that.

"Just how come dad, I just deliver Dance alone, the plan is I will go straight home."

"Lho, I'm in a hurry, don't want to stop by first."

"Other times it's dad, it's night, it's not good with the neighbors" he said subtly.

"All right."

"If so, I say goodbye to you." Adam again grabbed Rahman's father's hand and kissed him again before leaving, "Dance, I'll go home first."

"Yes Adam, be careful, don't speed things up."

"Surely." Adam replied passed.

"You seem to be getting better." asked Rahman's father when Adam was gone.

He knew his daughter and her lover had made up, otherwise they were alone outside and like a kasmaran, the question was only to convince Rahman's father.

"Yes dad, me and Adam have made up."

"Thank God, I heard it, you're not upset anymore." teased Rahman's father.

Dance smiled knots because of embarrassment.

"Dad let's go in, outside cold, then you can catch a cold." take Dance who is possessed by her father.

Adam returned home, passing through the living room on the way to his room on the second floor, the voice of Atta's father stopped his steps.

"Adam, papa wants to talk to you" the voice was cold and firm.

Adam turned to the source of the voice, seen his father sitting with a flat face on the sofa, it seems that papa Atta was deliberately waiting for him.

"Pa night." said Adam.

"Sit on Adam." Papa Atta's orders ignored the greeting of the son.

Adam nurut, he sat on a long couch.

"Where have you been since last night and just come home now." the introductory papa looked at his son sharply, "Enter the office also not, you think because it's papa's company, you're so alone."

"I'm in the apartment of a friend" he replied, "And yeah, I didn't go into the office because there's a problem I have to solve."

"The problem with the child of the angkot attractor is what you mean." papa Atta made it clear.

Adam who had not dared to look at the father looked up and looked at his father, he did not like his papa humbling Tari and Rahman's father, let alone in front of him, "Pa, do not despise Tari and his father." Adam voiced his protest.

"Why, that's the truth."

"Adam loves Dari pa, and soon Dance will be papa's daughter-in-law, so papa, never insult Dari." Adam asserted.

"It's with confidence that you, you think you want to accept the girl as the daughter-in-law in our family."

"What do you mean, papa doesn't approve of our relationship."

The father and son were arguing which created an aura of tension in the room.

Not yet papa Atta answered Adam's question, mama Cellin nongol and saw that his son was back, "Lho dear, you're home." mama Cellin looks relieved, he walked up to his son.

The aura of tension was clearly felt in the room and it could be felt by mama Cellin.

"This is what it is." she asked, seeing the child's and her husband's face harden and seem to hold back emotions.

Instead of answering his mother's question, Adam stood up, "I went to the room first, I'm tired of taking a break." he just left without waiting for his mother's answer.

"Adam, papa hasn't finished talking to you" cried papa Atta angrily watching her son leave.

But Adam did not heed the cry of his papa, he continued walking without even looking at it.

"Look at your son ma, just play away, really brazen." ketus papa Atta once Adam was out of sight.

"That's your son too" replied Mama Cellin.

"Papa and Adam were talking about what it was, the atmosphere was tense."

"The issue of the woman of your child's choice who wants him to make as a wife, what sieh you teach the same Adam, until choosing a wife is not becus." papa Atta turned to blame Mama Cellin.

Mama Cellin does not accept the blame, she defends herself, "Lho, why papa blames mama sieh, yes mama how to know that our son will like such a girl, let's just say he's big and there's more outside than home, obviously mama can't control her company."

Papa Atta pinched his forehead which suddenly felt throbbing.

"Pa, we should introduce Adam to the son of the papa business partner, who knows after seeing Siska, Adam turned, Siska was very beautiful, graceful, pinter and highly educated, she said, where there are men who can reject a perfect woman like Siska." mama Cellin advises.

Papa Atta nodded, he agreed to his wife's proposal.

"Papa will talk to Beny ma first."

Mama Cellin nodded, hoping that her son would like Siska and leave Tari.

Below the photo he will send is accompanied by a statement that reads,

That afternoon after coming home from the office, Adam had changed into casual clothes and was preparing to meet Tari the idol.

Adam whistled all the way to the exit.

"Adam, where are you going" asked Mama Cellin to see her son who seemed to be leaving.

"I want to see Tari ma."

Mama Cellin looks neat and graceful, it looks like she'll be gone too.

"Our family was invited by the Barata family for dinner, you know that the Barata family is our family's most influential business partner."

"Adam didn't come."

"It can't be a pity, as the heir to papa's business, you must come along, all of you also get to know more closely with the Barata family."

Adam snorted, his shoulders slumped, he who had looked excited now looked lethargic because of his mother's notice

"You wait a minute, we'll be leaving soon, mama wants to call your papa first." mama Cellin walked to her room to call her husband.

Adam threw his butt in the sofa, he then typed in a message to tell Tari that he had a sudden affair and could not find Tari.

Adam: Dear dance, I'm sorry, I can't see you, I have business I can't leave.

Dance : Nothing at all.

*****

With the driver of the family, Atta's father, Mama Cellin and Adam left for the family residence Beny Barata, one of the successful entrepreneurs in the homeland.

It only took 30 minutes to reach the Barata family residence.

Once there, they were greeted by Beny Barata and his wife Tania Barata.

"Welcome to Atta Wijaya, my best friend and business partner." said Beny Barata as soon as Atta got out of the car.

Atta smiled and approached her best friend, the two middle-aged men embraced each other.

"It's nice to see you again Beny." Atta patted Beny on the back.

"You look healthy and fit Atta."

"You're also Beny."

"Yahh even though we are no longer young, but health and fitness are necessary."

"Yes you're right Ben."

"Hi jenk Cellin, welcome to our family home." admonished the friendly hostess to mama Cellin.

Her name is also a woman, the tradition of cupika-cupiki has been attached so no wonder they directly cupika cupiki.

"Thank you Jenk Tania for welcoming our family."

"Indeed it should be Jenk Cellin."

Tania's gaze turned to the young man behind Cellin, "I guess, this handsome young man must be your son Jenk."

"Yes jenk Tania, this is Adam, our son, heir to the Wijaya family business empire." mama Cellin introduced her son proudly.

"Hello aunt, I'm Adam." said Adam, come closer and kiss Tania's hand, after which she turned to Beny Barata, "Hello om."

Beny Berata patted Adam's back softly, "You've grown up Adam, you were so small, and now, you're ripe and ready to get married."

"Everything goes by very quickly."

"Yes, you are right Adam."

"Jenk's son in addition to handsome polite yes, this must be because of the upbringing of Jenk ya." Tania praised.

Mama Cellin smiled wryly as she received the compliment, "Ahh jenk could've."

"Lho, our great guest is invited to chat outside the gini sieh dear." added Mr. Beny.

"It's just pa, too, so forget his sobbing about meeting old friends."

"Please enter Cellin, Atta's pact, Adam." hostess welcomes.

"Thank you jenk."

They all entered the mansion where the Barata family lived.

Before the dinner began, they chatted casually in the guest room, talked about many things including business, Adam did not talk too much, he said, he was just a listener to the talk of his parents and business partners, he would only answer when asked, and even that was just it.

"Oh yes jenk Tania, which daughter of yours."

"Siska, she's in Jenk's room, I'll have her call her."

"Bik, bik Mima." Tania called her ART

A woman who could not be said to be young and could not be said to be old approached the mistress.

"Yes, madam."

"Bi Imah, please call Siska ya bik."

"Good mistress." bik Imah passed by to call the young lady of the Barata family.

"Adam did not feel well, since it was silent." asked Mama Cellin because since he had seen Adam was silent.

Adam smiled faintly, "No aunt, Adam is fine."

"Ohh thank goodness then."

Five minutes later, a beautiful and graceful girl walked confidently toward the people chatting in the guest room.

"Nahh jenk, that's our daughter Siska." tell Tania at the sight of her daughter's arrival.

All eyes in the room were now on a girl who had just arrived in the guest room, the girl named Siska Barata smiled and greeted.

"Good night everyone."

"Nahh Atta, that's my beloved daughter and my pride, Siska Barata, you've met her."

Papa Atta nodded, "Your daughter is very pretty Beny."

"Who was his father."

Papa Atta chuckled at the chattering of his best friend

Mama Cellin looked at Siska in amazement, inwardly admiring the beauty of the girl from her husband's business partner's family, "It's beautiful that this girl, I'm sure, Adam can turn away from Dance."

But Adam's reaction was mediocre when he saw Siska, yes he did not deny that Siska was beautiful, but he was not a man who liked someone because of his physical appearance.
