Pak Joko is still looking at the ring given by Sri Sultan seventeen years ago.
"it's a good time to tell Lulu about this matchmaking" pa Joko said in her heart
Lulu was still enjoying her dinner, as her father approached her while taking out a ring from inside the wooden box.
"Father bought the ring, yes, really antique ring" said Lulu while chewing her food
"not nduk, this is a ring from His Majesty King Panji Aryowinangun for you" while handing it over to Lulu
"for Lulu?? " said Lulu who rounded her eyes in disbelief
"iya nduk, we had agreed to match you with the prince kasepuhan Arjo Winangun, the ring is as proof of proposal from the court" Mr. Joko tried to explain
*uhukk, uhukkk!!!
Instantly the rice from inside her mouth gushed out from shock at the news of the matchmaking.
"drink first nduk" said Mr. Joko calmed Lulu
"so Lulu got fooled by that, sir? "
Joko sir just nodded.
"i don't want to sir." said Lulu pleading.
"this match cannot be annulled anymore" said Mr. Joko
"but why not Ayu alone, is she more beautiful than Lulu, surely the prince also prefers Ayu than Lulu" said Lulu
"can't stand it, because you're the chosen one" Joko replied
"hiks, hiks, hiks... I do not want to marry young..hiks, hiks, I do not want to live in prison with thousands of rules dikeraton sir, hiks hiks" said Lulu crying.
Ayu and Bu Siti are now sitting next to him.
"it's okay mbak, it's good to be his wife prince, rarely you know, people who can be the son-in-law of the palace let alone be queen, uuuhhhh must be exciting bangeet" said Ayu tried to encourage Lulu
"you're there" said Lulu annoyed
"yes if I am the one chosen I want to do it anyway, tap the chosen one" said Ayu again
"already, mbak Lulu, life in the ring is not rich in prison, right now it is modern, not like it used to be, just like our lives in general really" said Bu Siti try to give enlightenment
"but Lulu still wants to go to school" Lulu said
"yes later after marriage you can also continue school" said Siti again
"i want to live in Jakarta not in Jogja" Lulu said
"itumah can be easily arranged, Sultanmah is free to do anything" replied Ibu Siti
"cieee, who wants to be Sultan, hehehe "goda Ayu
"noisy lo" said Lulu annoyed
***************
The night was getting late, but still unable to close her eyes, she still imagined her fate if she became the wife of a Prince. Wearing royal clothes that make it difficult to walk, wearing a large bun to make his head heavy, everywhere must be escorted with menor makeup.
"ahhhhhh!!!! " shouted Lulu while hitting the pillow beside her.
The night begins to change in the morning Ayu and Lulu are ready to go to school, both of them say goodbye to their parents and kiss their hands.
A motorbike stopped in front of them.
"gue's late, isn't he? " said Ferdan proudly
"hmmm" Lulu replied briefly
"ka Ferdan more handsome, more like him" said Ayu in his heart
"ka Ferdan, what anther Ayu, do not mbak Lulu continue" pinta Ayu
"kan Ayu different schools with kaka, while Lulu one school so yes kaka choose anter Lululah because it is in the same direction" replied Ferdan
"maybe next time" said Ayu
"ok, make Ayu what the hell is not" replied Ferdan
"natured, really ya ka" Ayu was delighted
"ciii"
Then Ferdan and Lulu leave Ayu who is still waiting for the angkot.
"lo why the hell Lu, really your face really asem" said Ferdan who was confused to see Lulu was silent from earlier
"go again BT" replied Lulu
"BT why? " ask Ferdan
"gue wants to be fooled, Dan" said Lulu sadly
"gini day there is still matchmaking, rich siti Nurbaya aja lo" Ferdan said
"meat him I'm sprained" while leaning his head on Ferdan's boat
"you don't love him" Ferdan said
"how do you want to love, meet yet" said Lulu
"have Ferdan Babang ready to help you, if there is a problem, do not be sad, will you be beautiful? " said Ferdan while rubbing Lulu's head
"we go to class instead of sitting here with a lot of mosquitoes" Ferdan said, holding Lulu's arm
Actually, Ferdan was saddened to hear the news of Lulu's matchmaking because he felt he would lose Lulu, the girl he loved so much. But he tried to hide it from Lulu, all this time he loved Lulu but did not have the courage to reveal it.
Ferdan escorted Lulu to the front of her class.
"smile donk, don't frown" while pinching Lulu's gnarled cheek
"sick tau" said Lulu
"have a gaping stay first huh, be careful in class don't be naughty, muaaaach" Ferdan said as he gave a kiss bye
"diiih, what the hell is lo" Lulu replied with a smile
"that's it, it's sweet to smile" said Ferdan teasing Lulu
"cieeee, cieeee..
"sirik aja lo" Ferdan said as he left them
