"Where is our bride-to-be, not seen since..?"tanya Om the new hair coming from Palangkaraya.

They all just realized, since last afternoon they did not see the existence of Mei.

"Is sister Mei not back from Atun's house, ma'am..?"asked Caca, because he was busy in the kitchen helping Nur, Caca did not know if his sister had not returned, so she scrunched her eyebrows.

"Atun's House..! May to Atun ca.?"'s house..?"asked Humairah, Caca nodded his head.

"Yes ma'am, this afternoon Caca met Sister Mei at the door, she said she wanted to go to Atun's house to return Atun's bag" she told him.

"Caca, quickly follow Mei to Atun's house, tell your sister to go home" Bahri told her, Caca nodded her head and left immediately.

"Sir, you calm down first, and I will find Mei as soon as possible" Bahri said gently, wiping her head.

"I'm sorry Caca mom, if Caca had known this afternoon, Caca would have stopped Mei's sister, and Mei's sister wouldn't have run away" Caca said in tears.

"You're not wrong son, Mei is the guilty one, she must have planned all this" Humairah said as she gently rubbed her daughter's cheek.

The next day, Bahri and the others negotiate to find Mei's whereabouts.

"I hope, the news of May's escape should not be heard by the family Dimas, because if they know, this problem will certainly be more chaotic" asked Bahri, they all agreed.

"And also, not until the neighbors know"sahut Humairah, he could not imagine if his neighbors know, surely they will be the gossip material that they will spread.

It's been until night time they are looking for information about Mei's whereabouts, but the results remain the same, they can't find where Mei is, Bahri and Humairah are almost desperate, suddenly Humairah's phone rang, Humairah picked up the phone.

"Hallo, assalamu'alaikum ka Humairah" said Wati, Humairah's younger sister who currently lives in Balikpapan with her husband, Wati could not go home to attend May's wedding, because she just gave birth.

"Yes, sister, Mei's situation is fine" said Wati, with a voice that was a little slow so that Mei did not hear her.

"Dead, please take care and hold Mei until I get there, tonight I will leave immediately to Balikpapan "say Bahri.

"Good brother"sahut Wati, then immediately turned off his phone connection, Humairah was crying, one side he felt relieved finally he knew the whereabouts of his son, and on the other side he felt disappointed, and on the other hand he felt disappointed, why did her daughter do that much.

"Dek calm down, mas will go to Balikpapan now to pick up Mei" Bahri said.

"But, it's almost midnight and it's raining, it's very dangerous if you leave.."prevent Humairah, she was worried about her husband, Bahri was silent.

"Let me take Bahri directly to the border road, usually there are many buses outside the city that pass to Balikpapan, kak Bahri can take a ride on the bus" said Yasir.

"Like a guest" said Wati who was busy taking care of her baby.

"Let Mei just open her aunt's door"sahut Mei, Wati also nodded her head, actually Wati already know who is currently coming, Wati, unsuspecting Mei also stepped her feet to open the door, when the door was open Mei was immediately surprised instead of playing.

"D-dad..!"mei's lips trembled calling her Father, her body felt limp, a feeling of fear even more popping when she saw her Father's cold gaze, she was afraid that her Father would go berserk and beat her.

Bahri was invited in by Wati and her husband, they did not dare to interfere, they just sat quietly and listened to the talk of Father and child , Bahri sat facing her daughter who had not dared to look down on her, the atmosphere was still silent no one spoke, until finally Bahri broke the silence.

"Why are you doing this, son..?"bahri asked, looking at her daughter.

"I'm sorry Mei yah" said Mei who still lowered her head, squeezing her hands together, Bahri sighed.

"That's all you can say to Dad.."sahut Bahri, Mei fell silent.

"What is the reason you, son, until your heart does this to us..?"bahri asked, this time his tears could no longer be weathered, flowing down his cheeks, looks very tired face.

"Dad hiks.hiks.sorry right Mei, actually Mei is not ready to marry with sister Dimas"sahut Mei honestly while crying.

"If you're not ready to get married, why are you dating her? do you just want to play around?or maybe, you really intend to humiliate your parents..?"bahri asked a little emotion, Mei quickly shook her head, actually, Bahri and Humairah had negotiated and thought long with this, what was best for their daughter, what was best for her, so they decided to choose to marry his daughter to Dimas, so that no more gossip and slander was spread about their daughter, but it turns out their decision was precisely about by their own daughter.

"No. yeah..! Mei never had the slightest intention of wanting to humiliate Dad and mom"sahut Mei.

"Then, why did you run away from your wedding which is only a few days away..? if the wedding day had come, and we had not found your whereabouts, what would we have told Dimas and his family..? of course, it is certain, everyone in the village will ridicule us both, because we can not educate our daughter well" said Bahri, Mei was increasingly sobbing to hear her, Bahri also sighed long, to control her emotions.

"Do you know your mother's current state..?since yesterday she did not want to eat or sleep, your mother always cried thinking of you, even she had fallen unconscious from shock after knowing if you run away from home, Dad can not imagine, even if you had fallen out of the house, what will happen if everyone blames himself for what his daughter did" Bahri said, wiping her tears, the shadow of his wife's crying face flashed across his mind.

"Well, I don't need to be at length advising you, because I know you're old enough to sort out what's good and what's bad, and I already know your reasons, too,if you don't want to get married, fine..!you stay here, let us both bear the shame there" Bahri said, he immediately stood up and was about to leave.

"Dad..!"call Mei, she immediately rested at her Father's feet while crying, she felt guilty and deeply regretted her actions.

"Father, forgive Mei, May promises never again to repeat this mistake, May will follow Dad home, May will accept Brother Dimas and marry him"said Mei while hugging tightly her Father's feet begging for mercy.

Finally Bahri, Wati and her husband were relieved, in the afternoon they went back to the village.
