Soon after, Ibu Yani came with tea along with her snacks.

“It just so happened yesterday that Bude made a cake. Let's sample the cake!” Bu Yani put the jar and cup on the table.

“Mala au cake,” Maira said as she pointed to the jar that was on the table.

“Oh, can. Here Uti get it,” Ibu Yani open the lid of the jar and then thrust the jar to Maira. Maira took a few pieces of cake.

“Pakde home teaching what time?’ ask Aida.

“Later noon Pakdemu just got home. Bude phone Pakdemu first,” said Ibu Yani.

“Eh, no need Bude. Later in the day Aida comes here again,” prevent Aida.

“Nothing, once in a while your Pakdemu comes home fast,” Mother Yani goes inside the house to call her husband. A few minutes later Ms. Yani returned to the living room.

“In the meantime your Pakdemu is coming,” said Ms. Yani.

“Bude, Aida so bother Pakde,” said Aida regretfully.

“Udah don't think about it! Let's drink and taste the cake,” said Ibu Yani.

A quarter of an hour later Mr. Purnomo arrived.

“Assalamualaikum,” said Mr. Purnomo when he entered the house.

“Waalaikumsalam,” everyone answer.

Aida approached Purnomo and kissed his hand. Mr. Purnomo hugged Aida.

“Pardon Pakde who abandoned you,” said Mr. Purnomo.

“It's okay, Pakde. Aida understands,” Aida replied.

Mr. Purnomo let go of his embrace.

“Pardon all the mistakes made by the late Bude Lastri to you,” said Mr. Purnomo.

“Bude Lastri died?” aida asked in shock.

“Iya. Budemu fell in the bathroom a month after expelling you from here,” replied Mr. Purnomo.

“Innalilahi wa innailahi raaji’un,” said Aida and Firas.

“When Budemu died Pakde called you, but your phone was off. After seven days of Budemu, Pakde followed you to Jakarta but your house was confiscated by the bank. No one knows where you moved,” said Mr. Purnomo regretfully.

“Pakde asked Pakle Hendro instead he replied “Totahu” with a ketus,” Pak Purnomo sighed remembering the words of Mr. Hendro.

“Maybe because his career is uphill so he is arrogant,” said Mr. Purnomo.

“It's okay, Pakde. Aida is fine,” Aida said.

Mr. Purnomo looked towards Firas and Maira.

“This who?” tanya Pak Purnomo pointed to Firas.

“I Firas, Aida's future husband,” Firas replied.

“If this is who's beautiful?’ asked Mr. Purnomo while rubbing Maira's head.

“This is Maira Aida's adopted daughter,” replied Aida.

“You raised a child?” ask Mr. Purnomo.

“Iya, Pakde,” Aida replied.

Then Aida recounted the incident experienced by him to Mr. Purnomo.

“Asatagfirullahaldzim. If only Pakde can be firm to Budemu, of course you will not experience all of this,” said Mr. Purnomo while rubbing his face violently.

“It's okay, Pakde. Aida sincerely goes through everything,” said Aida.

“Aida came here for blessings from Pakde and Bude. On August thirty Aida will marry Firas. Aida expects Pakde and Bude to come to our wedding. And Aida asked Pakde who became the marriage guardian,” said Aida.

“Insya Allah Pakde and Bude will be present at your wedding. And Pakde who will be Aida's marriage guardian,” said Mr. Purnomo.

“Alhamdullilah. Thank you, Pakde,” said Aida.

Firas whispered something to Aida. Then Aida took the brown envelope from inside her bag and gave it to Firas. Firas approached Mr. Purnomo. Firas crouched in front of Mr. Purnomo.

“Pakde, this is for Pakde fare to Jakarta,” Firas said then gave the brown envelope to Pak Purnomo.

“No need! It's Pakde's obligation to marry Aida, so it doesn't need to be conspired,” said Mr. Purnomo.

“It's okay, Pakde. Just accept! It was from Akang Firas for Pakde,” Aida said.

“This teacher still has a salary, so no need to be charged! Pakdemu this ASN, loh,” said Mr. Purnomo.

Firas sighed.

“Pakde, I would be happy if Pakde would accept it,” Firas said.

Mr. Purnomo thought for a moment.

“Alhamdullilah,” says Firas.

“During in Jakarta, his lodging has been prepared and tickets to return to Wonosobo by my employees,” said Firas.

“Loh, why is there a return ticket too? This is enough for Pakde and Budemu round trip fare,” said Mr. Purnomo.

“It's okay, Pakde,” Firas replied.

“Bude stay first, yes. Bude wants to cook first,” say goodbye to Ibu Yani.

“You should have lunch here!” mother Yani said again.

“Not bother, Bude,” says Aida.

“No hassle,” Ibu Yani goes straight to the kitchen.

While waiting for Mother Yani to cook Mr. Purnomo chat with Firas and Aida.

“Maira equals Om Firas first, yes. Mamah want to help Uti cook,” said Aida.

Maira nodded. Aida put Maira on Firas' lap.

“Kang, ship Maira. Aida wants to help Bude cook,” Aida said.

“Iya,” Firas replied.

Aida went straight to the kitchen.

“Bude, Aida help, yes,” says Aida.

“Eh, no need. It already wants as finished as the cooking,” said Ibu Yani while turning off the stove.

Mom puts side dishes on the plate.

“Nih is ripe. Let's eat,” Mother Yani brings food to the dining room.

“Call Pakde and your future husband! We eat now,” said Ms. Yani.

Aida walked towards the living room.

“Pakde – Kang Firas, says Bude eat. The food is ready,” said Aida.

“Tuh the food is ready. Let's eat first,” said Mr. Purnomo.

Mr. Purnomo, Firas and Maira headed to the dining room. They sit at the dining table.

“Sorry yes, the side dishes are as they are,” said Ibu Yani.

“It's okay, Bude,” said Aida.

They also had lunch together. After lunch Aida and Firas decided to find a hotel.

“Why sleep in a hotel? Just sleep here. Here many empty rooms,” said Mr. Purnomo.

“Allies take Maira to Dieng Highlands. We will return to Jakarta at dawn. Later troublesome Pakde and Bude,” said Firas.

“Ya already, if you want to sleep in the hotel is okay,” said Mr. Purnomo.

“There is a new hotel on the road to Dieng, located on the right. Said the people his place is comfortable,” said Mr. Purnomo.

“Bapak know where to stay there comfortably? Have you ever stayed there?” ask Mother Yani suspiciously.

“That's loh Ma'am, people said. Their brothers if they come to Wonosobo like to stay at the hotel. He said close to Dieng,” replied Mr. Purnomo.

“Oohh Ibu kirain Mr. ever stay at that hotel,” said Ibu Yani.

“This mom how, anyway? Father if you stay there must be the same Mother,” said Mr. Purnomo.

“It's been ah, sir. Shame on hearing children and grandchildren,” said Ibu Yani.

“Sorry Yes, Aida Nak Firas. Bude so bad with you guys,” said Ms. Yani.

“It's okay, Bude,” replied Aida.

“We say goodbye first,” Aida and Firas kiss the hands of Mr. Purnomo and Ms. Yani.

“Maiira, greetings first with Uti and Akung,” said Aida.

Maira immediately kissed the hand of Mr. Purnomo and Ms. Yani.

“Muah.”

“Pinter Grandson Akung,” Pak Purnomo rubbed Maira's head.

“Be careful on the road,” said Mr. Purnomo.

“Iya, Pakde. Assalamualaikum,” said Aida.

“Waalaikumsalam,” Firas and Aida went to leave Mr. Purnomo's house while guiding Maira.
