"cha... Let's go home son, it's not good to constantly cry to mourn your mother like this.
We'd better pray that your mother is calm in nature.
Said Mr. Hartono to Icha, who was in the arms of Sumiatun's mother.
Then Icha came home with them to the house.
Then arriving at home, the neighbors and relatives including Icha campus friends are still in the funeral home.
Moments later, all the neighbors started leaving the funeral home one by one.
And all that's left is Mr. Hartono's close relatives, and Icha's college friends.
A few seconds later...
Icha campus friends began to say goodbye to Icha, Sembari gave a word of encouragement to Icha.
"cha... We know Icha is very sad left by Mother Farida, but Icha must rise, must be strong, Icha's future is still long. We know Icha is a great person, and we believe Icha is strong... The patient is Icha.!!"
Hearing the words of Icha's friend earlier,
Icha responded with a speech....
"Thank you guys, for your support and your attention to me.!"
Then his friends answered...
"Yes, Icha.!!"
Then they all said goodbye to Icha, and Icha led her to the door.
Then after that, Icha re-entered the house, and gathered together with Mr. Hartono, Sumiatun's mother, and close relatives of Mr. Hartono.
They talked about the tahlilan event at his house, Starting 1 day from the death of Farida's mother, up to 7 days from her death.
As time went on, and after seven days of Farida's death...
So Icha immediately told Sumiatun and Mrs Hartono, to immediately return to the campus. Because Icha will soon complete the last script.
Then time for Icha graduation.
In the execution of the graduation event, the,
Mr. Hartono and Ms. Sumiatun came, to accompany Icha in the graduation procession Icha.
In the graduation procession, Icha
seems a little less happy. It was visible from the look on his face.
Because Icha feels the family is incomplete, without the presence of Mother Farida the adoptive mother.
Because Icha feels young is the most instrumental in the success of Icha so far.
From then on, Icha was less excited, and so a bit quiet. It was all due to being left behind by his beloved adoptive mother.
Mr. Hartono and Ms. Sumiatun himself, can feel the difference in attitude from the Icha.
After the graduation procession is completed...
The three of them sat together at the dining table, which had been prepared by the organizers of the event.
On that occasion, Father Hartono and Mother Sumiatun gave encouragement to Icha.
While enjoying the food that has been prepared by the committee at the event.
Sumiatun's mother spoke to Icha....
"cha... You can't do that, son, I know you're sad, because Ibu Farida can't be with us anymore. And can not accompany you in this graduation procession.
But you gotta get up, son, you're all grown up. If you are like this, Mother Faridah is disappointed with you in nature there, you know.!
If you want to make Mother Faridah proud in nature there, let's rise to be a successful person, and pursue your ideals.!"
Say Sumiatun's mother to Icha....
Then Mr. Hartono also spoke with Icha.....
"Yes... Right what your mother said is son, not only Sumiatun Mother who loves you, but I also love Icha.
Icha you know, you don't have a son, so the only father is Icha, so don't disappoint the father yes son yes.!"
Hearing the words of Mr. Hartono earlier,
Icha immediately hugged Mr. Hartono and cried with haru taste...
And Mr. Hartono stroked Icha's head with affection.
Then Icha spoke to Mr. Hartono.....
"I'm sorry Icha sir... Icha has disappointed you, but Icha promises, from now on Icha will rise, and will not disappoint you again.
And most importantly Ica will make Mother Farida proud in nature there.!!"
Hearing Icha's words, he,. Mr. Hartono and Ms. Sumiatun smiled happily, while embracing Icha with affection.
Then they agreed to go home together immediately.
In the car while on the way, they were joking with pleasure.
Icha sat in the back with Sumiatun's mother, while Mr. Hartono drove the car in front.
When they got home, they went in.....
"Suddenly Mr. Hartono called Mother Sumiatun and Icha, and was told to sit in the living room chair.....
That of course makes Sumiatun and Icha Mother, feel surprised and wonder....
After everything gathered, then Mr. Hartono spoke to the two.....
"Look. Mother Sumiatun and Icha.!"
Today I would like to express my wish, which I have been wanting to convey to you for a long time.!"

"Ask Sumiatun and Icha with curiosity.....
Then Mr. Hartono spoke to both of them....
"With a very deep feeling of heart, and my respect for Mother Sumiatun and Icha.
I proposed to Mother Sumiatun in front of Icha directly, to be my wife.!"
"How come Mom, did Mom accept my proposal.?"
