The sky had turned dark the sign of night had come. After the magrib prayer and dinner, Satria kept his promise to play with his nephew. They are now playing puzzles in the family room while watching television together.

" Om, it's finished" said Rere showing the puzzle that he had finished stacking.

" Pinter really beautiful princess Om this "said Satria smilingly rubbed Rere's head.

" Yes dong, Om" Rere replied smilingly showing a row of toothless teeth.

The voice of Satria's phone rang indicating that there was an incoming message. Satria took it from the table. But before Satria took it, Rere saw a photo of a girl who made his phone wallpaper.

" Om, whose picture is that? " ask Rere as Satria puts down her phone.

Satria looks at Rere's hand pointing at his phone.

Satria takes her phone and shows a photo of a girl who is none other than Kinara. The photo he took secretly and he made the wallpaper.

" This is her name, Ara. Rere can call Aunt Ara "said Satria introduced Kinara to Rere through a photo.

" Ate Ara's? " said Rere who could not say aunt.

Satria nodded her head.

" Aunty Ara is pretty? " tanya Satria showed me another photo of Kinara in her phone gallery.

" Ate Ara is pretty like Rere" Rere replied.

" Rere want to be Aunt Ara as Rere's aunt? " ask Satria again.

" Rere wants, Rere doesn't have a "Rere replied.

Satria is happy and hugs Rere. Her core family had already agreed to her with Kinara. Just wait for Kinara to fall in love with him and he will immediately ask for the blessing of the Kinara family.

The next day, Satria and her family were ready to go to the opening of the Kinara family cake shop.

" Let's go" said Arif's father.

They're going to the car, they're going to use one. Rendra was driving with Arif's father, Bunda Wulan and Puspa in the middle, and Satria and Rere in the back.

Satria gave direction to Rendra to go to a cake shop not far from the school.

Thirty minutes later, they arrived. There were enough people coming. Papa Lukman did invite his neighbors and also residents around the store.

They all got out of the car and approached Papa Lukman and Mama Santi who were welcoming guests.

" Assalamualaikum" they said.

" Walaikumsalam" replied Papa Lukman and Mama Santi.

" Mr Wulan, Mas Arif" said Papa Lukman.

Papa Lukman and Arif's father immediately hugged to let go of the longing for half a year not to meet. Mother Wulan also hugged Mama Santi.

" You how are you, Man? " ask Arif's father to Papa Lukman.

" Thank God be healthy" replied Papa Lukman.

" Well how are you? " ask Papa Lukman.

" Thank God I am also good Man" replied Arif's father.

" Oh yes this is Puspa, my son. This is Rendra her husband and who carried Satria is my grandson, Puspa's son" said Arif's father introduced his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren.

Puspa and Rendra also greet Papa Lukman and Mama Santi.

" Puspa, Auntie did not expect you to be a mother now" said Mama Santi hugging Puspa.

" Yes Aunty" replied Puspa returning Mama Santi's embrace.

Satria looked to and fro looking for Kinara which was not seen every Satria came.

" Where the hell is this Ara. For sure every time I come to him there is no "satria said in his heart.

" Dear, know this Grandpa Lukman and Grandma Santi" said Puspa to his son.

" Hello Grandpa Grandma, I'm Rere" Rere said waving his hand.

" Geez, it's so funny" said Mama Santi.

Mama Santi approached Satria who was holding Rere.

" Granny can not carry Rere? " ask Mama Santi on Rere.

Rere nodded his head and moved to Mama Santi's sling.

" Re heavy, Auntie" said Puspa.

" Oh yes, let's go in" said Papa Lukman, inviting them in.

They all enter, while Satria is still outside on the grounds of wanting to call a friend. He wants to wait for Kinara who like not yet come because the bike has not been seen.

" Hi Bro" the new Raka greeting followed Elsa behind him.

" How are you doing? " satria said with a seductive smile.

" Don't think weird. I left together bokap nyokap I tuh" said Elsa while pointing at her parents who had entered.

" Kirain set out with him" said Satria smiling.

" No, anyways he wants me to pick up do not want to " replied Raka glanced at Elsa.

" I can still go alone" said Elsa ketus.

" Why are you alone here? " ask Raka.

" Wait for Kinara, I didn't see him" replied Satria.

Soon Kinara came riding his bike with Alina.

" You have come" said Kinara approaching them.

Alina went into the store.

" Where are you from, Ra? " ask Satria directly.

" Lo that was not very patient" Raka said to Satria.

But Satria did not speak Raka's words.

Kinara smiled. " I'll buy a ribbon " replied Kinara showing her the plastic bag in her hand.

" Yes here we put it" said Satria took the plastic bag from Kinara's hand.

" Oh yeah, let's go in "take Kinara.

They all went into the store. Satria and Raka put up a ribbon that will be cut later. Kinara and Elsa approached Mama Santi who called out to him.

" Why Ma? " ask Kinara.

" Here baby. Mama wants you to meet someone " said Mama Santi.

Kinara and Elsa followed Mama Santi to a room that was special for the family when they were in the store. Upon entering, Kinara saw Arif's father and Mother Wulan. Kinara immediately greeted them, followed by Elsa.

" Dear you know the same one next to this aunt? " ask Mother Wulan embracing the person beside her.

Kinara also switched to seeing people embraced by Mother Wulan.

" Kak Puspa" said Kinara surprised and pleased.

Puspa smiled and spread his hands. Kinara immediately hugged Puspa and Puspa returned the favor.

" I miss my sister" said Kinara after taking off her arms.

" Sister also misses you " replied Puspa.

Kinara was very happy to meet Puspa back. Although they did not play together for long, they were very familiar. Moreover, Kinara had no older sister.

" Ra, know this sister's husband, Rendra" said Puspa introduced her husband.

Kinara smiled and greeted Rendra.

" This is Brother's son" said Puspa embracing Rere who was standing beside him.

Kinara crouched down to be on par with Rere. " Hello Darling" Kinara told Rere.

" Hello Ate Ara" said Rere hugging Kinara.

" Why do you know Auntie's name? " ask Kinara.

" Om Satria said that. Om Satria said, Ate Ara will be ate Rere "re replied.

It just so happened that Satria and Raka had just entered the room. Satria was very embarrassed to hear Rere say that. Likewise with Kinara whose face was reddened. Everyone there smiled.

Shortly after the opening of the cake shop began. Papa Lukman gave a brief welcome and continued with an ustadz invited by Papa Lukman to recite a prayer. After that Papa Lukman and Mama Santi cut the ribbon that indicates the cake shop has been opened.
