'' Assalamualaikum.'' said Yanto and his parents, when they arrived at the door of Tiara's house.
'' Wa'alaikumsalaam warahmatullaah.'' replied Mr. Syahroni and Ms. Lilis together. Then allow them to enter and sit in the living room seat.
'' How are you, sir, ma'am. Healthy?'' said Mr. Romli while greeting Mr. Syahroni and Bu Lilis and also Yunita.
'' Alhamdulillah sir! as you can see for yourself, replied Mr. Syahroni.
'' Wow it turns out, the daughter is a beautiful mother huh? is this what Tiara is called?'' asked Bu Risty, while shaking hands with Bu Lilis and Yunita.
Both of Yanto's parents, who had never met his children, Mr. Shahroni, thought that Yunita was a Tiara. Yanto who saw his mother wrongly guessed that, then poked Bu Risty and whispered to him. Mr. Syahroni and Ms. Lilis smiled at the words of Ms. Risty.
'' No ma'am, this is our eldest daughter Yunita. Her sister Tiara replied Bu Lilis explaining.
'' Oh. sorry Mom. I think this is the name Tiara that is often told by Yanto to us.'' said Bu Risty rather embarrassed because he had mistaken.
'' So which one is Tiara?'' continued.
'' There was Mom, I don't know where I am.'' replied Bu Lilis pretending not to know where Tiara is.
Although the appearance of Yanto is quite decent, but after seeing for yourself how the attitude of Yanto who looks disrespectful, Bu Lilis also seems to be less like Yanto. Especially when compared to Alan. Both in terms of appearance and attitude, of course Bu Lilis will prefer Alan than Yanto. Therefore, he did not tell where Tiara was.
'' So this is it, sir! The purpose of our arrival here, in addition to wanting to be in touch, also wanted to ask about our offer that was yesterday when Joko was home. Because Yanto is our only child, always whining to ask us to ask the father and mother named Tiara.''
Hearing what was said by the Romli sir, Mr. Syahroni and Bu Lilis looked at each other. They do not know how to refuse requests from Mr. Romli and his wife. Mr. Shahroni then took a deep breath. Then try to gather the words he will say to Mr. Romli and his wife.
'' Look sir, sorry before. We ourselves as parents, can only follow what the children want. You see now, it is not his time to force the will on them. For that reason, this matter depends on our son Tiara. If our son Tiara wants to, we'll come too. But if our son Tiara does not want, yes we can also what.''
'' But, that should be the children sir? not the other way around.'' said Mr. Risty was not satisfied with Mr. Syahroni's answer.
'' Yeah, maybe it's better that way, ma'am. But we as parents, too, should be able to be wise to them. Because after all, later who will live that life they are ma'am, not us.'' replied Mr. Syahroni a little less happy with the attitude of Bu Risty who looks a bit coercive.
'' This is how it is, sir! same mom, just tell us. How many fees and dowries do you ask for?30 million, 50 million, or one hundred million? father same mother just mention, we will provide. Importantly, the father of the same mother allowed Tiara to marry our son Yanto.'' said Mr. Romli.
'' It's rare sir, Mom! there are people who want to do something like us. If it were not for our child who always whines at us, we would not necessarily do it either. Moreover, there are also many people out there who hope that their children can be betrothed by our children.'' said Ms. Risty chimed in her husband's words.
Falling fruit will not be far from the tree, that is the right saying for the Yanto family. Yanto's demeaning attitude towards others, and quite arrogant of it, is indeed down from the nature of both parents. What was just said by Mr. Romli and his wife, it has been shown that between Yanto and his parents were eleven twelve.
Mr. Syahroni and Bu Lilis now increasingly understand, why Tiara really does not want him to be betrothed to Yanto. Right at the time when the atmosphere there began to tense up. Alan and all his family who had reached the door of Tiara's house, and had heard their conversation. He immediately said his greetings, greeting everyone inside.
'' Assalamualaikum.'' said Alan at the door.
'' Wa'alaikumsalaam warohmatullah.'' answered all those inside.
'' Sir, ma'am. Minal Aidin walfaidzin, sorry to be born and inner.'' said Alan greeting sir Syahroni and Bu Lilis while kissing their hands.
Behind him, Arya Wijaya and the others also went to greet while smiling at them. Yanto who saw the arrival of Alan whose face was very similar to Fadil, he was shocked. His heart wondered if he was Fadil or who. Seeing their arrival at moments that he thought were very inappropriate, Mr. Romli and his wife showed their displeasure. But when he wanted to say inappropriate words to the Alan family, he saw Hartono who was also with them.
'' Mr Hartono?'' mr. Romli was surprised.
'' You know, Mr Romli is here too?'' said Hartono to Mr. Romli.
'' I am yes sir. This, I happened to pass by and stopped by for a while at the place of Mr. Syahroni.'' replied Mr. Romli rather stiff.
'' Oh... that's! kirain again there needs to be here.'' replied Hartono.
Seeing the awkward attitude of Mr. Romli when dealing with Hartono, it seems that among them something has happened. Mr. Shahroni then invited them to sit on the sofa chair together with Mr. Romli and his wife. Since the seats were not enough for all of them, Mr. Syahroni and Bu Lilis prepared plastic chairs. But it seems less too.
Because the guests were sitting down, Bu Lilis and Yunita also sat there accompanying Alan, Sintya and Nadia. While Arya Wijaya, Andika and Hartono, sitting on the sofa with Mr. Romli and his wife and also of course his son Yanto.
'' So, how do you want Alan to sit down? here to sit here!'' mr. Syahroni while handing over the plastic chair that will be occupied.
'' Ah no need sir, let your father sit there!. Sayakan is young, it is not polite if I sit on top while there are older people sitting down.'' said Alan who accidentally even insinuated Yanto who was sitting in the chair.
'' I'm so sorry Mom! do not be less understood.this is the condition of our hut, narrow and many shortcomings.'' said Bu Lilis to Sintya while presenting bottled water to them.
'' No papa ma'am! it's better too. Elsewhere there are still many who are not as lucky as mothers who can still have a place to shelter, Sintya told Bu Lilis.
Hearing the words of Sintya who was quite humble, Miss Lilis and Pak Syahroni his heart felt touched. His worries that had been enveloping their hearts, were now gradually gone. Although it was very clear, that the appearance of Sintya and the others was really not from among ordinary people, but they did not look down on his family. This looks so contrasted when compared to the attitude of the family of Mr. Romli and his wife.
'' Oh yes, ma'am, introduce! this is my mother and sister, and it is my grandfather, my father and my uncle.'' said Alan introduced his family to Mr. Syahroni and Bu Lilis.
As Alan introduced them one by one, Sintya and the others mentioned the name and status of his relationship with Alan. Mr. Syahroni and Ms. Lilis of mangosteen while also mentioning his name to them.
At that time, Tiara who had been behind the house with Vita. Upon seeing Alan and his family get out of the car and walk towards his house, he immediately re-entered the house. Moments later, she emerges from the back room with Vita. Sintya and Nadia looked stunned at Tiara's face. In fact, Yanto and his parents also did not blink looking at Tiara's face.
'' Lan, is this her lover Fadil?'' syntya whispered to Alan.
'' Yes ma.'' Alan replied.
'' Pa, look at your grandson's future daughter-in-law pa!'' syntya said to Arya Wijaya.
Arya Wijaya who sat back to the direction where Tiara came immediately turned to look at Tiara. When his gaze saw the figure of Tiara, Arya Wijaya was completely dumbfounded. He would almost get up from his seat to come to Tiara. But he soon realized, that what he saw was not someone he had ever admired.
Tiara, Syahroni sir, Bu Lilis and his two brothers were shocked by what Sintya had just said. Even Alan, who did not understand the meaning of his mother's words, was also surprised to not understand.
'' Mom, what do you mean by saying that? ask Alan.
'' Son, did you not notice, his face was similar to who?'' syntya forced Alan's memory.
Alan who was asked like that, then looked at Tiara while continuing to remember the memory in his mind. After a while, Alan was now completely shocked. The Tiara that Alan, and his entire family, were looking at was misbehaving. He really did not understand, why everyone was looking at him like that. He who had wanted to greet Sintya and Nadia, was now just stunned standing in his place.
'' Ha, yes yes ma!, why is Alan only now conscious. If it turns out this Tiara mom, it is somewhat similar to grandmother when she was young. Pantesan, Alan feels like he's seen it. Just who and where, Alan completely forgot.'' said Alan who finally made them all understand the meaning of the speech Sintya said like that.
'' Tiara, here son! let mama see you closer.'' said Sintya immediately did not hesitate to consider Tiara as a prospective daughter-in-law.
Slowly, Tiara moved her feet towards Sintya who was extending her hands to greet her. Sintya then stood up and hugged Tiara so tightly. While hugging Tiara, Sintya involuntarily shed tears. It seems that Sintya is like someone who has just met someone who is very much missed.
Everyone in the place, except Romli, his wife and Yanto, felt sorry for what they were seeing before their eyes. Unknowingly, Arya Wijaya also had her eyes glazed over. He recalled back to his dead wife, who happened to have a face similar to Tiara's.
'' Tiara, later Fadil will also be a mother's son. So, if you are married to Fadil, you will automatically become your daughter-in-law. Do you want to marry Fadil?'' tanya Sintya looked at Tiara as her hands stroked Tiara's face.
Although Tiara still felt confused by Sintya's attitude that seemed so dear to her, but when asked if she was willing to marry Fadil, she immediately nodded in agreement. In Tiara's heart there was only Fadil, so where possible Tiara would refuse when offered herself to marry Fadil. Sintya then led Tiara to sit next to him. Sintya continued to show his affection towards Tiara. In fact, Sintya also instantly removed his diamond necklace and wore it around Tiara's neck.
Seeing that, both of Yanto's parents felt annoyed. After seeing with their own eyes, if Tiara is really beautiful, they also want to immediately make Tiara as their daughter-in-law. Therefore, without embarrassment Bu Risty immediately returned to ask the problem of his request that had been delayed.
'' Mr ma'am, so what about the offer from us?'' said Mrs Risty.
'' I'm sorry, Mr. Romli and mom. Father and mother had heard for themselves how our son Tiara decided. So apologize once again, it seems we can not accept the offer from father and mother.'' replied Mr. Syahroni firmly.
Hearing the statement from Mr. Shahroni, Mr. Romli and Mr. Risty were upset. They feel like they want to be angry with Mr. Shahroni. However, again Mr. Romli did not dare to say anything when he saw Hartono staring at him.
