Gilang guessed there must be something Gibran was hiding from him. Somehow, Gilang feeling uncomfortable like something big and make himself difficult will return he felt like before.
"Why don't you come here with mom?" Gilang sat down next to Gibran while looking at his sister who looked so spoiled with Gibran.
"It looks like they're fighting, Ko. Look at this puffy papa's eyes. I guess I'm not salak, right?" Gibran smiled, his daughter was indeed smart.
Gibran took a deep breath then embraced Gilang's shoulder fondly.
"There's something you have to say to you." Gilang looked at Gibran with a curious face. However, when Gilang was about to ask what it was, Ridwan's voice sounded.
"Eh, on a gathering here? Did you finish cooking?" asked Ridwan while holding a two-year-old boy who was funny.
"Not done, Uncle. Ko, let's go to the kitchen again!" Gia pulled Gilang's hand.
"Done, Dino. Play with me, yeah!" Gia kissed the cheek of the little boy who was carried by Ridwan and then immediately went back to the kitchen.
Cross took the time to pinch his cousin's nose when passing Ridwan. The little boy twitched while calling Gilang and Gia out of wanting to come with them.

Gio and Gavin were arguing and fighting over kitchen utensils for cooking. Those two guys are really very annoying because it makes the kitchen even more messy.
"Surge dong, Om. I want to fry the dumplings first." Gavin encourages Gio to use his butt.
"This dumpling wants to be cooked gravy instead of fried. If you want to make it, make it yourself!" Gio hired Gavin and continued his work.
"And I'm the same Gia who made it," said Gavin annoyed. He jumped and struggled on Gio's body like he was carried on his back.
Gio took a few steps as his balance was almost lost due to his nephew's actions. After his balance returned, Gio stepped forward to where it had been.
"But you didn't make it through." Gio let Gavin on his back. Gio resumed his cooking and did not care about Gavin who continued to disturb him in various ways.
"Why are you?" Gia went to the waist to see the behavior of two men in the kitchen.
"Fried gravy dumplings, '" replied Gavin as he stuck his tongue out at Gia.
"It's really weird" said Gia who was a little confused by Gavin's answer.
"Hus-hus! Go there don't bother!" Gio expels Gia.
"Go yuk, Ko! Gia wants chicken satay the same green bean porridge with black sticky rice at the end of this residential alley." Gilang nodded, he and Gia took the key to Ridwan's motorbike and left Gavin and Gio who were still arguing in the kitchen.

In the living room.
Gibran bullies Doni and lets his nephew play with his car keys.
"Why wasn't Jasmine invited here?" ask Ridwan curiously. Usually if Gibran visits Jasmine always comes along, so Ridwan is a little curious why Gibran came to this house alone.
"Being busy with kids. Don't know how healthy I'm with a woman's mind." Gibran is indeed open, he will not hesitate to tell his household problems to close family because they will definitely give the best solution to him.
"What problem?" Ridwan.
"He knows if Gilang is in love with Shala?" ridwan asked, responding to the babble of his son who was in Gibran's lap.
"He knows. But, he said that Gilang's age will not be long to be the one Gavin betrothed to."
Ridwan smiled wryly, he scowled his temple because he felt annoyed with Jasmine.
"Had never wanted to be betrothed and chose to leave, now he was doing the same stupidity as mom and dad." Ridwan was not exhausted by the stupid actions that Jasmine had done.
"I'm upset from that." Gibran leaned back on the sofa.
"Let me talk to him. I will not let Jasmine hinder Gilang's happiness. But, I still need your help." This is what Gibran likes about Ridwan.
Her brother-in-law was very understanding and reliable when various serious problems about their family.

A family gathers at the dinner table for breakfast. Gilang and Gia look very happy with the food purchased, they don't even care about Gavin and Gio who become upset about having to clean the kitchen both.
"Little kids eat chicken, yeah!" Gia gives Dino satay and is happily accepted by the boy.
They eat breakfast with gourmand, Gavin and Gio are also seen enjoying their fried dumplings or fried gravy.
After breakfast and cleaning the table. Gibran asked Gilang to talk to each other in the back garden.
"What are you talking about, Pa?" Gilang is sure if this is related to the reason Gibran suddenly came here.
"A relationship with Shala is serious, sister?" Gilang frowned when Gibran asked something he had never been involved in before.
"How do you know where I have a close relationship with Shala?" Gilang curious, the article that knows about Shala is only himself and Gia alone.
"Who have you forgotten whose father this is? Papa can easily know the activities of all the family papa without having to directly see it." Gilang nodded in understanding, it was indeed very easy for his father to find information.
"So, Gilang still needs to answer?"
"Of course" Gibran urged.
"My relationship with him is only a close friend with more taste. We're not dating but we're committed to being together and taking care of each other." Hearing Gilang's reply, Gibran's countenance instantly turned moody.
"Mama betrothed Shala to Gavin, sister." Gibran sometimes called Gilang 'brother' because Gilang was the biggest child and had two younger siblings.
Glazed reflexively looked directly at Gibran with a surprised face. However, a few seconds after that, Gilang immediately lowered his head because he did not know what to say.
"But you calm down. Papa will disagree with your mama's plan." Gibran embraced Gilang's shoulder and rubbed it gently.
Honestly, Gilang felt very ill hearing this bad news. What's wrong with having all the happiness he had to be forcibly snatched away? Doesn't God allow himself to be happy just once?
"If the matchmaking can make mama happy. Then let it go, Pa. Looks like Gilang should be sincere." Gilang's tears trickled after saying that. Gibran immediately grabbed Gilang's body in his arms.
