After dawn prayers, Arian jogs in the yard of his house. He saw the gardener at home his parents were planting mango tree seedlings, water guava trees and lychee trees. Arian was curious and approached the gardener.

"Sir Amat is begging for a graft tree?"ask Arian.

"Yes young master" said Mr. Amat.

"Many also that Pak Amat planting, even to the edge of this house road yes" said Arian.

"Yes young master, let many trees on this earth to look beautiful and unsightly" said Mr. Amat.

"True also well, if there are no earth trees on earth it looks arid and infertile" said Arian.

"Again if we plant, God willing we will harvest the results" said Mr. Amat.

"Yes yes, there is no harm in planting trees, besides being able to enjoy the fruit can also prevent flooding and soil erosion that causes landslides" Arian said.

"Young Master" said Mr. Amat.

"Thank you for your knowledge sir" Arian said.

"Young sir" said Mr. Amat.

Arian entered the house after he finished jogging.

He went into the dining room to drink. Dining table is available food. Arian looked at the food.

"Arian do not be dumb, hunt bath and breakfast" said Ibu Ruri.

"A lot of food, who's cooking Ma?"ask Arian.

"Well" said Ruri's mother.

"Oh Ayu" said Arian.

"Arian look, besides being beautiful and good, Ayu is also good at cooking. Your life will be happy with Ayu son" said Ruri's mother.

"I take a shower first Ma" Arian said, switching the conversation.

Arian left the dining table. He went upstairs to his room. Arian entered the room and took a shower. He put on clothes and then walked out of his room towards the dining room. There had gathered his parents, Bude Roro and Ayu. Arian sat down and had breakfast with all of them. After the meal, Bude Roro talked about the match between Arian and Ayu.

"Arian Bude wants to ask you one thing?"ask Bude Roro.

"Please Bude" Arian said.

"Do you want to marry Ayu?"ask Bude Roro.

"I need time to think about this" Arian said.

Bude Roro was a little disappointed by Arian's reply. He thought Arian also liked Ayu. But it did not fit his estimate. His heart immediately felt pain, shortness of breath and pounding. He immediately fainted.

"Bude.."screaming Arian.

"Mba" said Mr. Alex and Ms. Ruri.

"Mother.." said Ayu.

Bude Roro was taken to hospital. He was treated by a doctor but his condition was critical. The doctor came out of the treatment room and talked to Arian.

"What's Bude Roro's condition?"ask Dr. Arian.

"Mr Arian, Ms. Roro wants to talk to you" said Dr. Budi.

Arian went straight into the treatment room to meet Bude Roro who was lying in the patient's bed.

"Arians.." said Bude Roro.

"Yes Bude" said Arian.

"Yes Bude, Arian is going to marry Ayu. But Bude has to heal" Arian said while holding Bude Roro's hand.

"A.ku.ti....tip....A..yu.." said Bude Roro.

"Bude, Lailahailallah" Arian said driving Bude Roro.

"Lailahailallah" said Bude Roro
