"Sweetie, how did you decide, son? Can your boyfriend come?" ask your father that morning.
This is the second day and Sekar must keep his promise to give a decision on the conditions requested by his father. It seems that now he will resign with the desire of the father so that he married Abas so that the father would be operated.
"Sekar follow me. Sekar can not bring Sekar's girlfriend because now he is abroad. If you wait for him, you will get sick. So, just look back," replied the girl with a lowered face.
His heart is very sad. His dream for 4 years waiting for Bima turned out to be in vain. He will marry Abas, a man who has never met him 2 days.
Said Abas' mother coming home from the hospital just before Sekar came because he had to take care of something. To this day, he has not yet returned to visit his father.
Hoping on Bima also seems extinct. He himself refused the man's invitation to marry her. There was no way he would lick his own spit. After all, waiting for that man to come home would be too long. He wants his father operated on to get well soon.
"Some, you why Nak if forced not to obey it will hurt you. You also ask for conditions that make children difficult. Are there no other conditions?" mother told her husband.
"You want me to go, but your son is a spinster?" chirps of the father make Sekar's heart tremble sad.
"Father if you say that is true when you hope your child does not sell," ketus mother defended her daughter.
"Nearly twenty-seven years old, his friends have all had children. Sekar time is not married either, the boyfriend just does not have it," grumbled the father with a sad face.
"But if there is a gini maksa our child will suffer, sir" said the mother upset. Mothers are easily provoked by emotions when it comes to their children.
"I'm going to marry Arum, sir, Mom. Sorry I'm not polite. Assalamualaikum" Suddenly Bima entered to interrupt the husband and wife debate. He got closer to the patient's bed and then greeted the parents.
"Who are you?" ask father to investigate. He noticed the figure of Bima from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head.
"I Bima Arya Kusuma son of Doni Kusuma. I am Sekar's lover. I have promised to marry her," replied Bima steady make Sekar and his parents amazed.
"You're his girlfriend Sekar my daughter? But Sekar said his girlfriend abroad, how come it's here?" Ask father wonder.
"Yes, it's true that I'm abroad for work and the plan is to be back in a week. But as soon as I heard you asking Sekar to get married, I flew home. I don't want my future wife to be sad waiting for me to come back," said Bima explained the reason Sekar said earlier.
"Do you love my daughter?" asked mom staring at Bima sharply.
"Of course I love him very much. That's why I want to marry her," Bima replied softly but firmly.
"What's your job?" now my father asks.
"I'm a cofee shop entrepreneur. InshaAllah my income is halal and can be sufficient to support the father's daughter," replied Bima sure.
"But I don't know you, your family is also where you live. How can I know if you are good or not" said the father interrogated Bima.
"I am the son of Ibu Intan, the owner of the boutique where Arum works. We live together so Arum already knows my family well," said Bima.
"What, you guys living together? You are not married!" exclaimed angry father heard his daughter lived at home with a man who is not her husband.
"Don't misunderstand me first. Arum did live in my family home and of course he had his own room downstairs and my family in the upstairs room. Take it easy we never cross the line," replied Bima defending herself.

"What, Ma Sekar was asked to marry by his father?" exclaim Bima was surprised by the news delivered by Intan mama.
"Yes, he was asked to marry me what was his name, huh?" Intan tried to remember the name but still could not.
"Ah, forgot! Anyway if you don't come home tomorrow, mama make sure you fail to marry Sekar! Oh, Mama forgot you were also removed from the list of inheritance recipients if until the future daughter-in-law of Mama is taken people, the point there is no comma!" Shouted Intan threatening his son.
Bima's confused. If he comes home his work is not finished, but if he stays here his women will be taken away.
Agh!!!!
Bima is very upset.
"Go home, Bim lest you regret it a second time for losing him. She's a pearl to you. Work is here with Aziz and me. Quickly prepare, your Arum is waiting for you," said Hadi who had heard the conversation of Bima and her mother on the phone.

"Why didn't you call me, Rum decided he wanted to marry the gambler himself?" gerutu Bima protested against Sekar who did not give him the important news.
"Why did you tell my parents that we were dating?" ask Sekar. Now they sit on park benches near the parking area.
"I don't want you to marry the gambler" Bima said.
"But Mas Bima so must marry me soon," protested Sekar.
"You know that's what I want. I want us to get married, Rum"
"But my debt is still intact has not been reduced much. It still takes ten more years."
"I told you to forget that debt. I really love you, Rum. That debt doesn't exist. I did it just because I didn't want to lose you again" Bima said with a sad face .
"You know I've always missed you. I want to be always near you. That's why there's such a fake debt. I'm sorry I lied to you. I really did it for the sake of getting to know each other better. Also so that my family knows you until if I ask them for their blessing, they'll agree."
"You can lie to me, Mas" said Sekar Lirih. He did not expect if Bima could do that.
"This I do for the sake of my love for you," said Bima with a close grasp of both hands Sekar.
"Come on, baby we don't have a lot of dads in surgery right away and I'll take care of the whole cost." Bima looked at the face that now looks sad making Bima's heart feel sad. He wanted the girl to keep smiling like she used to.
"But unfortunately even if we are united, you will not find perfection in me" Sekar said, and tears flowed down his face.
"No man is perfect, Rum. I will accept your shortcomings and make your advantages my perfecter."
