Ibrahim invites Lusi and Arkan to prepare for the night market in their neighboring village. After they finished preparing, they left the room.
"Adnan we see the night market yok" said Ibrahim invites Adnan.
"Can Bi?" tanya Adnan saw her Abi.
Adnan always ask permission to go anywhere. either invited or go alone. if Ummi and his Abi do not give permission then Adnan will not go.
"Go away, don't go home too late" Abi replied giving permission.
Adnan was very happy because this time Abi did not mention the clock to go home.
Danu went with them.
Now there are Ummi, Abi, Brother, Grandma and Ira in the house.
The atmosphere that Ummi hoped for was realized.they could talk as parents from both sides without anyone interfering.
Ummi felt deg degan worried if their approach was not well received. by blowing a long breath Ummi started the conversation.
"Look, last Thursday Anna called us and invited us to meet her at the dorm. Anna told us she wanted to go to school in a girls' boarding school.We felt grateful that Anna had the desire to go to school in a boarding school" Ummi said.
Ira, Grandma and Grandpa were shocked to hear Umm Salma say.
"It's better if Anna stays in High School alone.if she changes schools, we can't afford to pay the initial cost of entering school anymore" replied Ira, not supporting Anna's decision because of financial constraints.
Ummi smiled at Ira's reply.
"We have considered Anna her own child.we have paid the registration money and the cottage tuition for six months. now Anna has lived in the boarding house" replied Ummi made Ira, Ira, Grandma and Grandpa were shocked.
"Why didn't Anna contact us? what's problem? why did I have to change schools?" tanya ira looks worried and anxious.
"Anna has no problem. Anna just wants to deepen the science of religion.so we beg you not to worry and think badly about Anna." replied Umm Salma unwilling to tell the real reason Anna moved.
"If you don't mind we can visit Anna tomorrow, you can stay at our house" Abi said trying to melt the tense atmosphere.
Abi also fears they are refusing and insists on not supporting Anna's decision.
"I can't come, I work and haven't asked permission" Grandpa replied.
"It's actually good if Anna does have the intention to deepen religious knowledge, but we feel bad if Ummi who has to bother taking care of and financing Anna." replied Ira.
Ummi and Abi felt like they had a breath of fresh air, because Ira was talking like that.
"We don't mind funding Anna's school, we are sincere. we only have one boy.With Anna we can have a daughter." Ummi replied and smiled.
"Ummi sorry before. Does Anna only consider Adnan as her brother? Or does Anna want to go to school in a cottage because it has a specific purpose, like Anna hopes for more than just a foster child?" Ira asked, suspicious that Anna liked Adnan and took advantage of the kindness of the Adnan family.
Ummi and Abi chuckle at Ira's words. They did not expect Anna's family to think Anna was using their kindness to get Adnan.
"Why can you accuse Anna like Ira?" ask Ummi.
"I saw Anna very happy to mention Adnan's name when he came home yesterday, I hope Ummi did not give an opportunity if indeed Anna does not deserve Adnan" said Ira who felt inferior, seeing the difference in appearance of their lives.
"How about tonight we propose to Anna for Adnan?" ummi's reply made Ira, Grandma and Grandpa surprised to not expect Ummi so frankly.
"Ummi don't joke, how could our Anna, could Ummi apply for Adnan?" ask Grandma who feels everything is impossible.
"We don't need to take refuge anymore, Adnan actually met us with Anna. Adnan loved Anna first. Anna did not want to break her promise to Ira and Grandma. Therefore Anna chose a school in the boarding school so as not to meet Adnan and Anna can focus on the school." Ummi replied telling the truth.
Ira, Grandma and Grandpa smiled at Ummi's words.they did not expect Anna to be loved by Adnan and she was lucky to have a future husband and in-law who would always love her.
Ira almost cried hearing Ummi's words. Ira was grateful that Anna could still hold back against Adnan who Ira thought was impossible for Anna.
"Thank you, Ummi and Abi, for funding and accepting Anna." Replied grandfather felt happy and did not have to worry anymore for his grandson's future husband.
"For now let Anna go to school. We do not reject Ummi's proposal.we hope Ummi will wait for Anna to finish school first." said Grandma gave clarity to Ummi's application question.
"Alhamdulillah," said Ummi and Abi grateful Anna's family did not reject their good intentions.
"Thank you, we will wait for Anna to finish school.after that we will come to apply for Anna." replied Umm Salma with a happy smile on her face as well as Abi.
"Actually we are worried that if you reject our proposal, thank goodness we can have a good outlook for our children." abi said he felt happy not to have any more burdens and doubts for Adnan and Anna's relationship.
Ira, Grandma and Grandpa smiled at Abi's words.
"Well, for the inshaallah proposal after Anna Graduated we will come to propose to her. I hope our conversation tonight we keep it secret from anyone, including from Anna and Adnan. so they can focus on school first." Ummi Salma told Ira, Grandpa and Grandma to work together to keep their conversation a secret tonight.
"Alright, we'll keep this a secret" Grandpa replied. Mother and Grandma nodded confirming Brother's speech.
Ummi took out the HP from his bag.
"It's from Anna. Anna told me to give it to you." Ummi said as he placed Hp in front of Ira.
Ira took the phone and smiled.
"when can Anna call." Ask Ira
"Thursday, but Anna has to call later and we can call her" Abi replied.
"When to visit?" Ira asked back.
"For the schedule to visit can be every day from after the ashar prayer until the time of Azan magrib. because the children in the cottage do not have afternoon learning activities." replied Abi.
"After the Cottage exam is over and the children have received the report card" Abi replied.
"It means Anna can only go home once in six months" Grandma said.
"Yes." Yeah." Answer Abi.
"Well if there is no obstacle next week I will visit Anna and stay at Ummi's house" Ira said.
"Yes, well, we're happy to hear it." replied Ummi.
They keep each other's mobile phone contact numbers, to make it easier to establish friendship and give each other news if there is happy news or sorrow.
***
Adnan surrounded the night market playground by himself. Adnan is interested in playing with the bracelet. Adnan came to Uncle Danu's place, who was sitting waiting for Lusi to accompany Arkan to play ball bath.
"Uncle we play the bracelet over there yok!" adnan said to invite Ibrahim who was waiting for Lusi and Arkan to play ball bath.
"Just spend the money, the gifts are also small." replied the uncle.
"We are not looking for an uncle's gift, for exclamations." replied Adnan.
Ibrahim seems reluctant to play, however, Ibrahim's goal is to bring Adnan to the night market just to comfort Adnan so as not to stay home all night. Ibrahim had no intention of squandering the money, as Ibrahim had family dependents and a monthly debt that he had to pay.
Danu is also not interested in playing of course the reason for the economy.
"If Adnan were to pay for his bracelet bang Danu and Uncle would want to play?" tanya Adnan did not run out of sense in order to feel the bracelet game.
"Okay." answered both.
Ibrahim gave the code to Lusi to go ahead, Lusi nodded.
Adnan walked first, Uncle and Danu walked behind him. Their height is almost the same, the size of the body also looks almost the same just that Adnan's stomach is still flat unlike the stomach of Danu and Ibrahim who look prominent.
"When I was still married I also like to play a bracelet. Now it feels good to have to spend money for a game like this" said Uncle when walking along with Danu.
"Flatter, especially I only work as a personal driver Abi. indeed the salary is equivalent to company employees.if to play fun yourself it does not feel exciting anymore, but if there is a free offer, it is free, the loss of being rejected." Danu replied, making Uncle Ibrahim laugh.
Adnan smiled at their conversation.
Adnan bought a bracelet, paying 10,000 got 4 bracelets. Adnan bought with a budget of 300,000, Adnan gave Uncle 40 bracelets and 40 bracelets for bang Danu and 40 for him.
Uncle gawking gets so many bracelets.
"Use it well, we collect the prize" said Danu who saw the expression of Uncle who was amazed by the number of bracelets that Adnan bought.
"Aren't Ummi and his Abi angry that Adnan spent this much money playing?" abraham asked Danu.
"This is not how much. Let's concentrate on playing." said Danu invites Ibrahim to play immediately.
They control the bracelet play.If the bracelet manages to get into the wood that reads alphabetic letters, they will get a prize. two officers prepare to take the bracelet they throw and immediately prepare a gift.
They start playing.they do not care about the present or not they get.they just focus on inserting a bracelet into the wood stuck on the table whose position is deliberately tilted down.
They play while laughing loosely, inviting the attention of other visitors to watch their game. Moreover, Adnan was on the left edge, making them amazed by the white skin and handsome face of Adnan, which is different from the other two players.
After spending all the bracelets.the two officers who owned the game handed over two large bags of gifts they three. Danu took the two bags and drove her to Abi's car which they took to the night market.
Adnan is not happy playing. Adnan invited uncle Danu to throw a ball to knock down the empty keleng arrangement.if he managed to drop all empty cans got a prize. 3 balls with a money exchange rate of 25,000. Adnan re-exchange money 100,000, they got rations each ball 6 balls.
The prize this time is also big, which is a large doll that is the size of Arkan even bigger than that. Uncle managed to win one big doll prize.
Danu came to where they played. Adnan again exchanged 100,000 money with 12 round balls, this time Danu come into play. each got 4 round balls. adnan's final ball about the arrangement of empty cans and Adnan got one big doll prize.
Adnan was so happy to get the doll. Adnan brought the doll to the car park. Uncle Ibrahim was also happy to give a large doll to his wife.so far uncle had never gotten a gift of this size while playing in the night market.
Danu smiled looking at her two playmates who got the prize.
"Bang Danu, like in the big plastic was also a doll. nantik doll for bang Danu aja." said Adnan did not feel good to see Danu did not bring the doll home.
"OK, we'll look at the big plastic" Danu said as he opened the back of Abi's car.
Sure enough, there was one medium-sized doll that went into the plastic gift.
"You're great too, you can see the gifts they've put in." Danu said.
"Don't be too focused one thing bang. play also have to use consideration" said Adnan taught Danu to remain observant to see all things.
"Truly the son of Abi and Ummi, already handsome smart again.Fortunately Anna can have your heart" said Danu in his heart, knowing the relationship between Anna and Adnan.
