Nightfall the atmosphere outside was very dark and a little scary, Gabriel, woke up from his beautiful sleep, his mind was chaotic, his face was confused. His hand held his head until it also grabbed his own hair. He was confused as to what answer to give to Marsel. Hana who was surprised to feel her husband was not beside her, she immediately opened her eyes leaving her sleep that had been completely slumbering.
“Dad..” call Hana
Gabriel hears a call from his wife, but she does not answer until Hana has to get up to her husband.
“Dad why?”
“Mother, earlier a debt collector came home to collect debts. But, because the father could not pay, then the Marsel asked for his son to be betrothed to Ayunda”
Hana surprised. “What!!”
“Quiet bu.”
“Why should match Ayunda. Is there no other option?” Ask Hana
“There's bu. The choice is two. If Ayunda is betrothed then our debt is paid off. But, if not betrothed then the father will go to jail and the debt continues to run”
“What kind of option is this. Indeed jerk it people” emotions Hana started to rise high.
“Then what father replied.”
“Dad hasn't answered anything.”
That night, in a small room two human beings who are a couple again discussed profitably looking for answers to what to give to Marsel. Indeed, if Ayunda is betrothed to the son of Marsel, surely his life will be fulfilled but, whether the child is destiny for Ayunda.
The next day when he was still addressing at around ten o'clock or after noon following the rules of East Indonesia time, Marsel again visited the Louwensky family home to ask for a definite answer from Gabriel and his wife. He was accompanied by a bodyguard who drove the car. The journey that took an hour, they finally arrived at Gabriel's residence.
“Tok..tok..tok” Marsel's hand knocked on Gabriel's main door. Hearing the sound of knocking on the door, Hana and Gabriel, who were talking warmly about how to pay the debt, immediately left, and left, gabriel's steps, now aided by two sticks, make a little long because they are the first to use it. He was helped by his wife. Arriving at the door Hana immediately extended her left hand to open it.
“Ceklak” door open. Seen there a handsome man of full Arab descent was standing accompanied by his bodyguard.
Marsel, standing at the door, was greeted warmly by Gabriel and his wife.
“Let's pack enter first” take Hana. Arriving inside, without any further ado from the three of them Gabriel immediately asked at the core of the intent of his arrival.
“How? Do you two have the answer.?”
“No pak” yet Gabriel replied.
“Is there not yet? Your answer is very light.” The word Marsel was also followed by his hand throwing a plastic chair against the wall.
You remember! When you borrow money, everything you say I do. Answer period yes and ok you can't!”
“Ia pak”
“Hold his emotions pak” said the bodyguard to calm his boss.
“I can't take it anymore. Anyway today you two should give a definite answer to me.” Gabriel said in a high, rough voice as his right index finger pointed towards Gabriel and his wife.
“What father should I answer” said Ayunda full of confusion.
“Daddy confused mom,”
Gabriel thought of something in his mind that made no sense, he put his mouth closer to Hana's ear whispering. “How about we match Ayunda.” Gabriel said softly.
“But how else. I think this is the most appropriate option”
“Ya is already a father. I disagree about this asshole. Everything mom leave to dad but, if in the future there is nothing with Ayunda, mom hands off.”
“Good ma'am. Everything will be the responsibility of father.”
Marsel waited a long time to make him bored immediately asked for answers.
“I think there's enough discussion. So, what's your answer.” Gabriel said until the clattering of his teeth was heard by Gabriel and his wife.
“Good sir. After a long discussion between me and my wife, I chose to have my son betrothed to my father. But.”
In Marsel's heart he was very happy, although he suffered a loss of 200,000,000 without a dime, because he wanted this answer to come out of Gabriel's mouth.
“But, what else?” tanyakanya.
“My son will stay with me, until he is 17 years old, then he can stay with you and your child.”
“Ok then. A request from you I will receive. As long as your son doesn't marry another man. If, he goes through it then, I'll make sure your descendants disappear.” Threat Marsel.
After he finished speaking, his hands were raised and his eyes looked towards the Casio G-sock brand watches he was wearing. It turned out that it was 13:00 WIT it was time he had to leave because there would be a meeting with a wealthy businessman from Japan.
“Ehmm” Marsel.
“I'm sorry” said Marsel as his footsteps walked out and was followed by his bodyguard from behind.
Time Marsel and his men left. Hana and her husband just sat quietly looking at each other just a pair of eyes that contact as if talking in the air until both of them let out tears simultaneously.
While crying, in Gabriel's heart said.
Ayunda, papa's favorite child. Papa apologizes for being a victim of what you did. Papa knows you will be disappointed if later you will find out that papa and mama have betrothed you to what kind of person you know.
Papa is sincere if later you deny papa. But you should know what you're doing for your future, too..
In silence, Hana began to speak to Gabriel “You are sure of the decision. Why should our child be the victim not just you.”
“I'm not completely sure yet ma'am. But what else? This is already the right choice. Between us both”
“What did you say mas! Our choice?”
“Iya bu.”
Hana who had been sitting tensely in the temple immediately pulled her body back while crossing her hands and said.
“No it's just your choice and decision. I'm not interfering with that.

Eight years later.
Now, Ayunda, a once beautiful little girl with a sweet smile, has grown into a beautiful, cute, sexy woman. She has just passed her status from late adolescence to early adulthood, now 16 years old. There are ten more months left to enter at the age of 17 years commonly called ‘Sweet Seventeen’ Ayunda continue his upper secondary education at SMA 1 Pulau Seribu located in the middle of the city of Tepesh. This school is very popular in the eyes of late Junior High school children who will move to High School. To get into this school, the selection is so tight, the cost required is also expensive.
From the beginning Ayunda's father and mother had offered that he better enter secondary vocational because, the cost is cheap also seven friends entered vocational. But, he still insisted on entering the Thousand Island 1st High School. Because, this school has been a target for a long time when he was first to set foot in the 1st grade junior high. When he passed Junior High he tried to take the exam for the scholarship selection. A week before the announcement of passing to High School, his name was hung as a full scholarship recipient from Samadara Fundation, which is one of the fields that is engaged in paying attention to the education of children who are unable to however, excel.
