First introduction

-------

Wisesa's family has arrived at the residence of Mr. Toha. They intend to propose the daughter of Mr. Toha who grew up.

"Assynoltom..."

"Greetings waalaikum..."

The two men hugged each other, while his wives nodded and shook hands in mutual respect. They sat in the living room chair while introducing their child.

"This is sir, Mom, our son... His name is Jiho, he is the successor of the Wisesa family," said Mr. Wisesa introduced.

They smiled and welcomed me kindly.

"Your son is handsome, sir... Like his father, charismatic," as well as Mr. Toha who was greeted with another laugh.

"Haha... Yes dong, my original descendant. Oh yeah, where's your daughter, sir?" ask Mr. Wisesa back.

"He hasn't come home sir, wait a minute" Toha said with a smile.

"Where?"

"My son is still in school, sir. He's just in third grade High School" said Mr. Toha back.

"Oalaaah, very young huh. Seven years difference with my son," continued Mr. Wisesa.

Jiho was just a beard, actually he was curious, how would the girl he would be betrothed. Will he like it??

"Sir, Mum... Excuse me first," said Ms. Ningsih saying goodbye. He passed inside, in the kitchen he prepared 5 glasses containing sweet tea and various snacks that he had. Ms. Ningsih called some of the neighboring mothers to help her cook, for lunch.

Soon, Ms. Ningsih came out again with the sweet tea and snacks she had prepared in the kitchen.

"Please taste first Sir, Ma'am, Son.." said Ms. Ningsih who was answered nodding their heads with a smile.

"Thank you, Mom."

The mood was silent for a moment. Before long a greeting spread their minds.

"Assalamualaikum.." greet someone from outside. A girl in a gray-white uniform slowly walked in while looking down embarrassed.

"Oh, that's him sir, our son." said Mr. Toha. "Neng, come here first." continued Mr. Toha. The girl nodded and approached them.

"Neng, this is there Mr. Wisesa's family wants to celebrate and get acquainted with you," continued Mr. Toha back.

Tiara greeted them one by one in turn while saying her name was "Tiara."

"Neng, change clothes first later here again yes." said Mr. Toha back shortly after they met. The girl called neng nodded and passed.

"Where is he at school, sir?" jiho asked curiously, but somehow suddenly his heart wanted to know more.

"SMA one, son. In the sub-district city," replied Mr. Toha. His smile still puffed up on his lips.

"Faraway from here too... Walking, sir?" continue Jiho who is still counting.

"Yes, kid, it's a long way off. But if you get used to it, you will not feel tired. He's walking with his other friends."

Mr. Wisesa beards with a smile, he knows the habits of his son. If Jiho is curious means there is interest in something.

Soon Tiara appeared to them again. The plisket skirt is black, and the long-sleeved pink t-shirt is wrapped around her ayu body.

Tiara had a glance at the man she was about to be betrothed to. Their views intertwined, between Tiara and Jiho. They throw each other smiles and look meaningfully. There was an attraction between them, their hearts rippling with each other. Jiho looked at Tiara for quite a while until she felt blushed, her cheeks blushing red.

"Ehem... Looks like they fit, sir, ma'am." said Mr. Wisesa broke the awkwardness between them.

"Rubber... Right... How boy, do you agree?" continued Mr. Toha while looking at his children in turn.

"You're going to get married, if you can get married, sir?" keep Mr. Wisesa back.

"Haha... But the custom of people here, must be a proposal first," replied Mr. Toha with a cheerful tone

"Yes, right... How, son? Do you agree?" ask Mr. Wisesa again who is waiting for an answer.

"I agree, sir," replied Jiho as he looked at Tiara.

"What about Tiara?" ask Mr. Wisesa who really makes the girl groggy. He can't answer anything but to do it. But he put forward one requirement.

"Yes sir, Mom, I agree too. But..wait until I graduate first," replied the girl timidly.

"Alhamdulillah." they answered in unison. The two families threw happy smiles at each other.

"Yes, let's have a casual chat. Nak Jiho with Tiara, that was when you were little often play together. Nak Jiho nih, often ignorant of Tiara.." said Mr. Toha while reminiscing about the past. Mr. Wisesa and his wife just laughed.

"Yes, it's so funny that you guys were kids. Jiho gede itself. But that was before we moved... Alhamdulillah has now returned to his hometown," said Mr. Wisesa with a crisp laugh.

Occasionally Jiho steals a glance towards Tiara. I don't know why he was so impressed with the girl. Cute, pretty, simple, innocent, unlike the girls he had met in town when he was in college.

"Sir Jiho, is it okay to wait until Tiara graduates first?" ask Mr. Toha to make sure.

"Ah yes sir, I will faithfully wait for him," Jiho's reply made Tiara blush again.

"Yes already, let's-let's eat first. This mother has prepared food for all of us" said Mr. Toha back. They then moved to the living room to eat together.

"Sir, Tiara, come on later. Want here first," said Tiara who answered a nod to the head of Mr. Toha.

"I was also here first sir, nemenin Tiara," continued Jiho who made Tiara a little surprised.

He did not eat because he wanted to avoid his eyes.

"Why don't you eat?" tanya Tiara ventured.

Jiho smiled, Tiara saw that smile arch looks really sweet.

"Nemenin you are here," replied Jiho who returned successfully to make himself blush.

"A college?"

"Had graduated, so look for a wife, heheheh.." replied Jiho again. Somehow he was unceasingly making Tiara's cheeks glow red.

"Why should I?"

"Because we've been betrothed, I like you anyway. You how? Like it or not?"

Tiara looked at the man's face for a moment, then looked down again. "Like," replied Tiara timidly.

"Alhamdulillah... That means no problem, right?" jiho asked who was answered with a nod of the head by the cute girl. "If I play here a lot, right? Let's get closer?" ask Jiho again.

"Yes, A."

Jiho smiled again, "From tomorrow, I also hold one of Father's fields. Who knows if she could come home here, right?"

Tiara just nodded again. I don't know why his heart was pounding so erratically. Especially when he looked at her, she was wrong.

The match worked, didn't it? They like each other, not because of compulsion and heavy heart
