"Okey, if you're married, do you want a career or a housewife?"
"It depends on my husband giving me ridho. If my husband will not allow me to work, then I will be at home to serve him, take care of his property and educate his children. But if he allows me to work, I will try to be able to divide the time to serve him, keep the treasure of educating children and also work."

He has a high sense of solidarity, social spirit, kind, friendly, does not like anger, royal, and he is a caring and loving man." replied Pearl with red met with shame. Dzen looked at the Pearl again, but only for a moment, for fear of the Pearl getting angry again.
"Tiara's extraordinary judgment, you don't even judge me badly one bit." said Dzen.
"Other than that?" ask Mr. Panca who is still not satisfied with the answer Pearl.
Pearls shaking.
Mr. Panca and Mr. Lastri looked at each other.
"You don't know if Dzen lives in this apartment? And who exactly are Dzen's parents?"
Once again the pearl shook.
"This is Dzen's apartment, Dzen's our son, and I'm a Notary in Makassar. Of course you know, don't you, what kind of person is this Dzen?" ask Mr. Panca who has begun to enter sensitive talks such as differences in property and the throne.
Dzen looked up surprised by what his papa said, he was so afraid that Pearl would be offended.
"Honestly, I just found out about it." replied Pearl still relaxed.
"If you knew, what would you do?" ask Mr. Panca.
"If dzen mas is my soul mate, I will keep it but if om object to this difference, and it turns out we are not a match, InshaaAllah, I will ikhalskan." mutiara lowered her head to hold the feeling in her chest that hurt.
"I'm just a country girl, my parents are old, we're from the bottom. There's nothing I'm proud of, and keep it if I have to compete. So I will step down if parents Dzen did not care about this relationship" Mutiara said. Instantly Dzen was shocked back by Pearl's reply.
"But Tiara, you promised me that." said Dzen cut off.
