Kennan did not say a word during the dinner, even before the session was over, he first ended his activities.

"I'm done, well, pi" said Kennan made the whole dining table wonder, especially Zara.

"What's with Ken's mas, the feeling from earlier diem-diem"

If a few days ago Zara who was made heartbroken, because of the closeness of Kennan and Widia, now replace Kennan who was made foggy by the behavior of Kanes.

"I say goodbye to bun, mi" he said again as he stood up, and sipped a glass of water.

"Where are you going?" ask Nina

"Nongkrong same tun-temen bun. Assalamu'alaikum" without waiting for a reply to his greeting, he half ran out of the dining room towards the main door, making Zara slow down her chewing motion, then looked back at her back.

"Mbak Za, definitely not willing to mas Ken go" Inner Kanes who had glanced towards Zara.

"Yu" called Kanes, then brought her mouth closer to Ayu's left ear. We'll talk after this yeah" whispered

"Speak what?" reply Ayu with a whispering voice

"Let's go to my room"

Ayu nodded her head. Their behavior is caught by the tail of Danu's eyes "You guys, again eating still ghibah"

Sontak Ayu and Kanes turned towards Danu

"What does our father mean?" ask Kanes

"Nobody is whispering but you're here"

"What do you whisper?" sela Zara, throws a sharp look at Kanes' face, and Ayu turns. Likewise with Nina and Irma who suddenly looked at her two daughters.

"Ihh mbak Zara" said Ayu "if kepo, then we will go to the room, he said Kanes wanted to talk to me, mbak Za can come, Who knows we need advice mbak"

Kanes reflex banging his knee on Ayu's knee, making Ayu turn her face to the right side

"What's up Nes?"

"There's nothing"

"Finish the meal first, the hibah will continue later" Sambar Rio. I don't know why this dinner was so stressful.

"Tomorrow you two join Bima to the house of grandfather abi, there is a study week there" this time Danu also spoke

"But we want there to be a show yah" said Ayu quickly"

"Not that last week you've been absent, have you?"

"But tomorrow there's another pi event"

"Batalin" Danu and Rio said almost simultaneously

"A really compact pie" said Ayu

"Father" Nina scolded as she threw a sharp look

"Sorry bun"

"Nin" call Irma, when they do the dishes.

"Yes Ir"

"I feel like there's something different about dinner this time" Irma said as her hand drained the freshly rinsed plate. "Is there a problem with Kennan Nin?"

"So after the office he was fine, but knew when he ate a lot of diem" he said wiping the wet plate and put it on the dish rack.

"Try Nin asked, who knows there is a problem, because I had time to pay attention to him while eating, like not spirit"

"Is it possible Ir ketapean, because after returning from Jakarta yesterday, the night he overtime with his father, the next morning I asked Danu last night home at what time, he answered home at 11"

"But I caught another wave"

"Later I ask Ir" They have finished washing dishes, now the two women sit at the dinner table while peeling mangoes, with chat is still the same topic.

"Yesterday was known as Widia Nin, Kennan brought her here"

"She also brought him home, but I was a bit off-putting"

Irma frowned, her hand that was peeling the fruit, suddenly stopped "Why?"

"Less sreg aja"

"I also think there is less si" said Irma "has not closed the aurat, but who knows after marriage she wants to close the aurat" he continued to move the knife.

"But if Kennan loves her, how else, it's Ir"

"Let's just pray for the best"

"As for Zara, Ayu and Kanes said, she has a ta'aruf plan"

"Can come next time, the important thing is that you accompany Zara first" Nina grabbed a plate containing several pieces of mango and apples to take to the front, where Danu and Rio were. "This I take ahead yes" said Nina who was asserted by Irma, then stood up from her seat.

"Yu, Ken already has a girlfriend yet?" ask Kanes while stretching and rolling around on the bed

Ayu, who was sitting at Kanes's study table, immediately squinted her eyes, looking at Kanes in full search before finally throwing the question "You like Ken?"

Kanes' hand throws a fish-shaped doll at Ayu "Not me but..." Kanes hung his words, making Ayu immediately drop her body on the Mattress "But who?" tannya

"Oh, I need to say no, I promised him not to reveal his secret"

"Who is he and what is his secret? tell me the clear"

"But you don't tell Ken's mom first yeah, I'm afraid Ken doesn't love her"

"Yes-yes say it quickly"

"Promise me, don't tell anyone?"

Ayu nods "Mba Zara is in love with Ken"

"What?" suhut Bima suddenly who just came to Kanes' room

"Wire" said Kanes while smothering his own mouth

Ayu was still staring at Kanes' speech, and Bima joined her brother "Yang really mbak?"

"Pliss is a secret yes, anyway, Ken not to know first"

"Since when did Zara love Ken?" ask Ayu curiously

"It's been a long time, but it looks like Kennan just loves him as a younger brother, rich to us"

"If you love Za mas Ken, why not crita to papi sama mami, mbak?"

"No dare to be Bima" said Kanes

"But roughly, if Ken mas same mba Zara, same mother father, papi sama mami agree not si?"

"Lacking to know also the Yu, in fact they did not match Shoot and mas right?"

"That time mba" said Bima as he put one foot on the bed "Papi sama mami once said, do not want to match her children, Ayu and Kanes looked serious to hear Bima talk "they set us free to choose our own soul mate"

"It looks like our parents did not agree if mas Ken same mba Zara, if they intend to match him, must have done it a long time ago"

"Nes not necessarily" Ayu argued "if mba Za and mas Ken have decided, surely our parents will agree, yes Bim"

Bima answered him with a nod of the head.

"You agree Yu, if Ken's the same as Zara?"

"Again" Ayu replied quickly

"But Zara wants to meet with the Brotherhood who wants to ta'aruf tomorrow"

"It's okay, Bim, why?" asked Kanes "Let them ta'aruf, I want to see how Ken's reaction was, just this afternoon, when I discussed it, mas Ken looked surprised, his shock was, like a jealous person, or not willing, or don't accept it"

"Kasian mba Zara mengam feeling the same men who actually met every day, must be very difficult to control themselves when dealing with mas Ken" continued Ayu one hand propped up on the chin "I've always liked men, if it's right to meet, my heart with disrespect is ragged endlessly"

"Yes that way" said Kanes "Yu try to screw up the contents of Ken's heart"

"How?"

"Find out who the woman you like, just slow down the match"

"Ok I'll try to lure him to confide in me"

"How important is mbak?" tanya Bima who is now stepping on the 2nd class in MA belongs to grandfather abi.

"Yes the way, later if the Ken mas does not like the same mba Zara, yes already our fate, love claps one hand, let the ta'arufnya continue to the marriage"

"Jeez" called Nina from the doorway "We go home yuk, dad already cape for a break"

"Yes bun" he answered as he got out of bed

"Remember this is a secret" said Kanes

"Hu 'um...Nes, Bim's home" Ayu tidied up her hijab "tomorrow we leave at what time to Grandpa's house?"

"Abis breakfast aja mbak, later I mbak Kanes to your mother's house pick you up" said Bima "You guys bring the car mbak Zara, I do not come home because"

"Ok daa, Assalamu'alaikum"

"Mother go home first yes Nes, Bima"

"Yes be careful, Walaikumsalam"
