Airin who heard Angga's question immediately got up from his seat and entered the house.
His father stared at Airin's presence, then sipped coffee in the cup.
"No, no, Airin's been betrothed" replied his father Airin, then wiped the rest of the coffee in his mouth.
"Who are you getting married to?" sahut Angga and Airin compact together, to make his father smile. Angga and Airin looked at each other for a moment, then lowered their heads together because they were awkward.
"Friends of your brother" said his father.
"Sister Ikmal's friend, which one? And who? Why didn't you tell me about the match with Airin," said Airin, annoyed, then approached his father looking for reassurance.
"What matters is that now you know, tomorrow the man will come anyway" replied his father and got up from the chair.
"Nak dewangga, the game continues tomorrow only. Father was sleepy" said his father Airin, repeatedly yawning, and then going into the room.
Angga stared at Airin sharply, Airin stood up, walked towards the front and opened the door of his house wide, hinting for Angga to come home.
"You are," said Angga lirih, in an annoyed tone.
"I just don't know," said Airin frowned, then saw the ring that coiled in the ring finger Angga make Airin then upset. After Angga exited the door, Airin hurriedly closed the door tightly.

The next day, when Ikmal pick up Airin as usual to go to work. Airin put on an annoyed look, asking about the match.
"Sister match me? Why didn't you tell me anything?" ask Airin.
"Astaghfirullah, fortunately you want to take the deck, you forget to ngabarin Raffi to come later tonight to the house" said her brother, then called a man named Raffi, who was a child, Airin clucked irritably because she felt it was an alarm for her brother.
"Oh my God, brother. Why not tell Airin first, Airin doesn't even know her" Airin said, after seeing her brother finish calling.
"Not discussed now, I have a morning briefing, later. She'll be here at 8pm, make sure you're home from work" her brother said, then drove off.
Along the way Airin continued to grumble, with the attitude of his brother who arbitrarily match him. However, her brother just smiled and told Airin to shut up and just follow along.
Arriving at work, Airin was still worried and scared. Afraid that the man who would meet her would hate his family when he found out Airin already had children from a relationship without marriage. Airin was also afraid, if later even add disgrace to the Raffi family.
Airin then contacted his sister-in-law, to find out what kind of man Ikmal would introduce to him.
"He's good on deck, he's come home twice. He's a college friend of Ikmal's, apparently now working as a manager at a property company. He is handsome and polite, you must like it" said Dista explained what kind of man Raffi, who will meet him later tonight.
Every day at work, Airin still thinks about this matchmaking. His heart was slightly sliced, thinking of Angga's feelings.
And sure enough, after work. Angga was already standing in front of the shop, waiting for Airin's return. Airin locked the shop, then stepped away to his boss' house as usual to give the store keys, Airin tried to ignore the footsteps of Angga who followed him.
After completion, Airin met Angga who stood in front of the fence of his boss' house.
"You have nothing to do but follow me" said Airin, then walked past Angga and returned to the shop, waiting for his brother's invitation.
"I don't know, I haven't seen what the man looks like, yet" Airin replied, then glanced towards the Angga's ring. Angga who noticed Airin's gaze, then took off the ring and put it in his pants pocket.
"Take me off" said Airin softly, trying to dodge.
"I want to marry you, my responsibility, don't you want me?" said Angga, then pulled both shoulders Airin.
"Just a form of responsibility, I don't need it. All this time me and Ringga have been fine without you. You are engaged to Mona anyway" said Airin, pulling her hand from Angga's grasp.
"I will tell Mona right now if you are pregnant with my child" said Angga, drawing Airin's hand again.
"He already knows, even he told me to go." retorted Airin, who unknowingly revealed the truth. His heart was a little relieved and also scared.
"What?" tanya Angga confirms Airin's remarks.
Airin withdrew his hand, then stepped quickly leaving Angga.
"I want us to be together, I want us to start from the beginning," cried Angga, until all the eyes of the passerby shone towards Angga. Airin did not stop to step, even when he knew his brother was standing in front of his store to pick him up, Airin ran and got into the car. Airin saw from the rearview mirror, Angga's step stopped when he learned of the whereabouts of Airin's brother.

Arriving at home, Airin was surprised by the presence of a foreign man sitting on the sofa with his parents. The man smiled at Airin's arrival, Airin returned the smile and said goodbye to the room.
Moments later after Airin finished bathing, his mother knocked on the door, and told Airin to come out to meet the guests. Airin nodded, his perverted eyes looking at his cell phone that kept ringing, but heeded it.
"He's Raffi, my friend from college. The person is supple, kind and well-established" said Kak Ikmal introduced the Man who looked at Airin. Airin nodded and smiled, then sat down next to her mother.
"I was so happy when your brother invited me to meet you, Ikmal often told me about you, he said you were beautiful, kind and loving" said Raffi, Airin only smiled at the compliment.
"I want us to get to know more closely" Raffi added.
"Dad agrees anyway, as long as the child is polite and not neko-neko, want to know Airin just fine, and it also depends on whether Airin wants or not," said his father.
"Where is the deck" his mother whispered.
Airin stared at Raffi for a moment, looking at his clean skin and having a thin smile like a crescent moon made him flutter.
"She is an only child, surely you will be loved if you become a daughter-in-law," added Ikmal, then Airin's parents smiled to hear the additional sentence.
"The air is just a shop worker, no problem" said his mother Airin told a little about Airin's life.
"All women, after becoming wives, are not the same. The edges are also at home" his father Airin smiled.
Raffi was still staring at Airin, as well as Airin who was reluctant to leave Raffi's gaze.
"How's it?" whispered his mother again into Airin's ear.
"No, I can't! Airin can't get acquainted with any man!" said Angga loudly while standing in front of the door. All eyes were staring at Angga at the same time.
