One Summer Night "Only You Do I Believe"
Episode Seventy nine

Everything feels gray. A man like Hans broke his heart and made him drink beer and wine again. Go home drunk. He's really heartbroken. Runyan. Dissipated. Slender. Even misses are unable to treat it. It was the same with Niken. No more rainbow colors in their lives. Both are evasive, both lie to themselves. Neither defended it. Moreover, Niken has already said yes to her parents' matchmaking. Niken did not want to disappoint her mother's feelings. He often cried alone in his room. Likewise with Hans, he tried to chug a bottle of wine, but he always remembered Niken's face. It's all about Niken that she can't somehow afford to forget.

"Holiday this time, you want to go home, Ken?" Ask Bella. Niken nodded.

"I promised my mother to meet my future husband." Answer Niken.

"You're getting married?" Bella cried as they sat in the cafeteria. Everyone glanced at Bella.

"Mh." Niken nodded slowly.

"Who?" Niken shrugged his shoulders.

"My mom wants to set me up with her friend's son, Bel." Reply Niken while chugging his lemon tea ice

"Oh so. What about Hans?" Bella whispers.

"I told you, our relationship is over, Bella." Answer Niken.

"Niken, I know it might be hard for you. Hans hurt you. But you also know for yourself, no, that she was also the victim of that woman. Shouldn't you give Hans another chance? You still love her, don't you?" Bella Imbuh. With certainty that between Niken and Hans still love each other. Bella doesn't want Niken to regret it at the end.

"Bella, I don't know what to do. Do you know why I left Hans for the first time? Because aunt Dina doesn't approve of our relationship. And I can't resist my mother's wishes either. I'm 30 years old. I understand how my mother worries about me. Maybe this sounds cliche, I do love him and he loves me. But what if we're not fools? Or fate says something else. Then let the Lord outline my own destiny, for my good and for his good." Obviously Niken. Bella gulped, staring at Niken for a moment. Hugged his best friend.

"I admire you. You're a tough woman." Praise Bella. Niken smiled bitterly. Actually her heart is not as tough as Bella thinks. It was an expression that he did not display in public, when he was indeed fragile.

"His name is Raj, your little friend. He's a good guy and he's already a young professor at 35. You remember him, don't you?" Imbuh Ria to Niken.

"Hmmm, Raj?" Niken scrunched his forehead while sipping instant noodles. Ria nodded.

"Yes, here's a picture of you two when you were kids. You were 5 years old that time." Ria gave a photo to her son. While Niken remembered the memory of the man. "Auntine Adina with her family used to live here for a year. And you're very familiar. Sometimes I like to shower together. Sometimes you don't want to go home when you play with Raj. He's a good guy, you know, Ken." Ria.

"Yes mom. How good is aza. So those who want to come to Bandung? Or are we going to Jakarta? If we go to Jakarta. Mom and sister lived in my apartment aza first." Reply Niken. Ria smiled as soon as Niken gave her advice in this meeting. Ria was very excited when Niken gave a positive response.

"Say they went to Bandung. Nostalgia, she said." Answer Ria. Niken nodded, then sipped the instant noodle soup until the last drop.

"Oh my God, are you starving or what? Until it's finished." Tukas Nadine's.

"What the hell. Keep on storming." Ketus Niken, while rubbing his full stomach.

"Hp's aunt sounds this way." Deandra said Nadine's 5-year-old eldest son.

"Who, Ken?" Ask Nadine.

"Regular, Alika." The answer.

"But if in Jakarta it looks good too, Nad. We can treat it at Niken's salon first." Ria Imbuh.

"That's right, gini deh unstable mother. Niken tuh most males if the mother continues to determine the schedule that ends we are also the date." Reply Niken.

"Yaaa, her name is also mother, Chen." Added Nadine.

"Chen, Chen, what the hell?"

"You used to be slurred. I can't say K. So Ichen." Tukas Nadine's. "But you seriously don't remember Raj, Ken?" Niken shook his head. Who would want to remember the same boy who knows now how his face. Yes in the handsome little time photo. Not necessarily also fit has grown up to be handsome. Who knows if it's ugly. We don't know.

"Who the hell is he? He's of Indian descent, koq his name is Raj." Niken raised both eyebrows and pursed her lips. It feels so strange that there is an Indonesian named Raj. Niken as if to trifle.

"There, from the family of her husband Aunt Adina. Adina's parents were Palestinian-Indonesian, while her husband's parents were Indian-Indonesian. Here's the picture, handsome right?" Ria.

Niken saw his pictures when he was a child with a boy named the King.

"But this is a picture of us as children. Yeah handsome anyway. But what if it turns out that he's ugly now. His teeth were barking, items, curls, and his hair was kribo that. Ahhh amit-amit deh. Or what if in fact he also does not want to be in the same mate Niken. He probably had his own choice, ma'am." Reply Niken.

"Open the child. Lebay deh." Tukas Nadine's.

"Ihhhh that's not it. You're so nice Nad married the same one who loves you so much. Well me. Not necessarily that guy wants to be with me. And I like him. Fate of course." Ketus Niken's. Ria sighed softly.

"Niken if you don't want a matchmaker. Mom doesn't maksa koq. I'm just asking you to meet first. Problems like or not that later. Don't suffer the most." Ria. Niken lowered her head. He knew he was too late to talk. Nadine nudges Niken's arm.

"What the hell." Ketus Niken's.

"Tomorrow you in the photo. They said they wanted to see your face." Ria.

"Hmmm, no." Denying Niken. "I want our meeting to be a surprise. Whether he accepted her proposal or not was my decision. Mother and sister have no right to interfere." Further.

"All right." Nadine and Ria together.
