Today Qania and Arkana decided to take care of the preparations for their engagement which was delayed yesterday due to their quarrel. And right now they're just out and the invitation-printing studio.

“Darling we get clothes first or ring first?” ask Arkana when they are on the bike.

“From ring first darling, new shirt nyari. How?” proposal Qania.

“OK, let’sgo” Arkana directly forward the motor.

They were in front of a jewelry store. Arkana was down but Qania was still sitting on the bike staring at the shop.

“Honey are you not down?” ask Arkana.

“Emm..”

“What's up?” ask Arkana gently.

“Can't find anywhere else?” ask Qania carefully.

“Can be dear, but what's with this place?” search Arkana.

“I just remember someone who once took me to this store to buy a ring for his other lover” replied Qania make Arkana stuck.

“Hmm, sorry dear for the incident. I regret. You are right, we should look for another place just” said Arkana who then climbed back up on his bike and drove it at medium speed.

“It hurts a lot if you remember the incident at that time. Sorry Arka if I remind you of the incident and make you feel guilty” inner Qania.

“Gue is so stupid that it does not remember the same incident in this store. Arghh, surely Qania again sad very” Inner Arkana.

“Honey..” call Qania who rests her chin on Arkana's left shoulder.

“Ya dear” replied Arkana.

“Sorry, I don't mean to remember you happenings in that store” shriveled Qania.

“I should apologize for taking you to a place that makes you remember old wounds. Sorry dear” lyre Arkana.

Qania did not answer, she only tightened her embrace. Arkana who knew the girl answered through body language also smiled with relief.

.....

Arkana parked his motorcycle in front of a jewelry store, this store is one of the stores that has many types of jewelry and many upper classes come to shop there.

“Honey yuk enter” invite Arkana while holding Qania's hand.

Both entered and immediately greeted the assistant at the store.

“Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, how can I help you?” greet one of the shopkeepers kindly.

“Can show us the usual ring collection used for engagement?” ask Arkana.

“Oh of course, let's follow me” invite him and Qania and Arkana directly follow him.

“Well here's our ring collection, and there's one that just came in this morning. I will show it, briefly yes” he rushed to walk to the storage cabinet of goods.

Soon he came with a red box and showed it to Arkana and Qania.

“Well here it is, this is one of the best ever entered in our store.....” it explains at length on Qania and Arkana.

“How dear, you like this ring?” ask Arkana after getting an explanation from her officer.

His officers handed him the ring and Qania put it on.

“Very fit” said the officer.

“Where is dear, take this one only?” Arkana asked again.

“Iya.”

“Sorry deck, can I get the ring?” ask someone who just came and stood behind them.

Qania and Arkana turned around to see who the person who had suddenly interrupted their conversation was. He was a man who was about sixties years old, yet still looked fresh with gray hair that had almost covered his entire hair.

“Sorry son, I really need the ring. I've been going around looking for a ring like the one you wear because it's exactly the same as my wedding ring. My wife was very sad because our ring was not in production anymore, I was tired of going around but did not find the same ring. But after I heard the explanation and accidentally saw the ring, I was very relieved because I finally found the same ring.” the father explained.

“But our pack first the.”

“Why can you lose the ring” asked Qania cut off Arkana's greeting.

“So my life and my wife arguably did not lack one until I was deceived by my business colleagues who caused our business to go bankrupt and eventually we fell poor. Coinciding with the month my wife was about to give birth to our first child after almost ten years of marriage. My wife could not give birth normally because her condition was weak so she had to have surgery and the cost was very expensive. Our remaining treasure is the wedding ring and my wife although heavy to let go but she put our son first. I was here and there selling the ring but no store would buy it because it said the model was old-fashioned. As I was desperate and sitting on a bench near the last store I went to, a traveler from Switzerland saw me grieving and approached me. We communicated in English until he finally saw the ring and he unhesitatingly paid for it. Some of the money I used to pay for my wife's treatment and the rest we used for business capital and we finally managed to get back. But for more than twenty years my wife keeps remembering the ring until I have been here and there looking for the same ring but did not meet. Until today came.” the story of the father was accompanied by tears.

Qania, Arkana and the clerk at the store were moved to hear the story until they were unaware that Qania had come down to tears.

“This ring is for you, I will find another” shriek Qania and then end with a smile.

“Sayang.?” Arkana looked at Qania.

“I sincerely sir, pity my father and wife” continued Qania.

“Thank you son, thank you. In exchange I will pay for the ring you choose” said the father was excited.

“Thank you pak” Arkana.

“Oh yes if you have the opportunity, come to our engagement party on Saturday. At the Ayumi Setya hotel at twenty” pinta Qania.

“Sure, I will come with my wife” he said enthusiastically.

“Thank you pak” replied Qania and Arkana.

“You please choose, so that you are noteworthy with this ring. Consider it a gift from me” he said again.

Qania and Arkana thanked him and immediately chose a ring that was no less beautiful, while the father named Jumadil was waiting on the bench near the cashier to all pay for Qania and Arkana groceries.

After they left the store, Jumadil said goodbye to Qania and Arkana and got into his car.

“Indeed yes, if something is destined to be ours, however it will definitely return to us” muttered Qania while staring at the car of the departed Jumadil sir.

“Same as our destiny, betrothed from the fetus and without us knowing we are in a relationship that has actually been established since we were not born” said Arkana who also looked straight and then linked her fingers to the fingers of Qania.

“I hope we will be forever with” said Qania still staring straight ahead.

“I also hope we will be together forever, loving each other until we age together in the company of gray hair, wrinkled skin, and until we have children, he said, grandchildren even our great-grandchildren will continue to be together until the age of” Arkana then hugged the waist Qania and Qania directly leaned his head on the arm Arkana.

“Aamiin” says Qania.
