Tomi sipped her warm coffee while looking up at the stars scattered in the sky tonight. The arrival of Abrisam made his gaze diverted.
“Papi busy?” ask Sam carefully.
The man with the gray hair was shaking his head. Then put the coffee cup onto a round table next to it.
“What's up?” this time Tom asked.
Abrisam sat down first before explaining the intent of his arrival. Sam has rarely talked to his father since he was not preoccupied with the many tasks of college.
“Sam want to ask for Papi.”'s blessing
Forehead Tomi wrinkled, “for?”
“Married to Dira.”
Tomi's eyes widened, not expecting her firstborn child to have thought of going to a more serious level.
“Please, Pi! Restuin Sam equals Dira ya.” The boy clenched both palms at chest height.
“Papi doesn't forbid you from getting married, but isn't it too soon? You and Adira are both about to turn 22. You haven't graduated college either. The job does not exist yet. Getting married is not just about Sam.”'s love Tomi looked at this child seriously, “you should think ahead of her. Want to be told what Dira if you only have no income. Not to mention having children. The cost of daily necessities, school children, and pay for everything else. Are you ready?”
The young man absorbed Tomi's words. What his father was talking about was very true. However, Sam and Dira feel they have to get married. Too long courtship just piles up a lot of problems.
“You're not gonna tell Adira to work, are you Sam? Because the girl is already a scholar.”
Tomi's glance makes Abrisam shake, “no, Pi. Sam also knows that making a living is the duty of the head of the family. Sam had also thought of everything Papi said just now.”
“Then how will you make that living?” Tomi thought for a moment, “hm, how about you take care of the property company Papi aja? Anyway all that will Papi bequeath to you.”
“No, Pi. So far ‘kan Sam is not interested all about Papi's business. Different far from the same majors Sam.”
Tomi leaned against the chair while straightening her legs down.
“You're so well-given that you don't want to. Do you want to eat what Adira? You must not shame Papi yes, starving the child.”
“The plan is for Sam to borrow capital from Papi. Sam wants to open Sam's own workshop.”
Tom laughed when he heard it. Sam who was enthusiastic suddenly lackluster got such a reaction.
“You are there. A famous businessman son who is usually in a magazine or television want to open a workshop?” Tom laughed again.
“Something is wrong? Workshop business ‘kan halal. This part is in line with Sam's fashion. Sam used to tamper with the machine, Pi.”
Tomi again sat up straight and this time looked at her son very sharply and seriously.
“Yes wrong! You want to embarrass Papi? I've taken care of Papi's business. You are well given even nolak.”
“Not that Sam is not grateful, but Sam does not want to stand on the footing of Papi. Sam wanted to try from the bottom. So, Sam wants to borrow his capital to Papi. Later if Sam's workshop has advanced capital Sam balikin.”
“If you really want to work from the bottom. Find your own capital too. Papi doesn't want to finance you. Unless you follow Papi.”'s rules Tomi took his coffee glass and stood up, “one more Papi bless you if you want to get married, but risk your own responsibility.”
After delivering all that Tomi walks into his house. Abrisam was still pensive in his seat. He pulled the corner of his lips, then looked at the smile. This guy is optimistic. He could have fulfilled his wish. The most important thing now is the blessing of Tomi he has got.
“Mas, You talk to Sam again?” siska asked who was passing by her husband while inside.
Tomi nodded, then handed over her coffee cup.
“Your son is there. The time he wants to marry continues for the needs of his children and his wife later he wants to set up a workshop. I have suggested to take care of the existing business he instead refused.”
“Married? Same Adira?” Siska was also shocked to hear the news.
“Iya.”
“Isn't it too fast? They are still young. Why not finish college and find a job first?”
“That's what I told Sam before, but his son stayed on his decision. Never mind, let him do it. I can only approve.”
Siska who was listening while holding this cup nodded her head. He understands very stubbornly Sam is exactly like his father.
“I go to Anna's room first yes. I'll be in your room.” Tomi patted his wife's arm softly, “mau see Farel first.”
“Iya, Mas.” Siska just let it go.

Abrisam had told Adira that his entire family had approved of their marriage. Now only Adira has to talk about this to her Mom and Brother.
“Breakfast first, Dir!” tell Winda when the girl enters the kitchen.
“Iya, Mother. This Dira does want to eat.” Adira pulls the chair next to her brother.
“Where are you going so neat early in the morning?” ask the old blue guy.
“Search for jobs.”
“You want to work?” Winda who had smeared bread looked at his daughter.
Adira turned to her mother, “Iya, Ma. Nothing ‘kan? Kak Dimas is working. Adira also wants dong. Free college away if you remain unemployed.”
“Mama is no problem. What matters is that your work is not to be shorn. Our needs have been fulfilled by Mama.”'s efforts
Adira nodded. A few minutes the dining room was quiet. This girl was busy smearing jam into her bread.
Dimas suddenly opened his voice again after sipping a cup of tea that he had prepared.
“Dimas saying goodbye first yes. Must be working again. Later if the boss can grumble. Not strong ears Dimas heard it.”
“Wait For Kak!” Dimas who had stood was silent in his place, “ada who wanted Dira to talk to Mama and Kak Dimas.”
Dimas back sitting, “talk what?”
“Yes, what do you want to say? I think it's serious.” Winda spoke on the sidelines of his breakfast.
The girl turned to Winda and Dimas alternately. Breathe in before you start talking again.
“Dira equals Sam plans to get married. Dira asks for the blessing of Mama and Sister.”
“What do you want to marry? I stepped in dong?” ask the unbelieving Dimas.
Adira nodded, “iya, sorry, Brother. Time Dira same Sam should wait Sister marriage first, later dong. Sis Dimas is not yet visible.”
Dimas rubbed his face. There is also a truth to the words of the sister. His soul is still too far away.
“You're seriously getting married?” Winda still can't believe it.
“Iya, Mother. Restuin Dira yes, Ma. Sam's parents have already approved of us. Sam himself who said the same Dira by phone this morning.” This girl put on a look to bring him to lose his heart.
“Mama can't give you the answer yet. If Sam's really serious tell him to bring his family here. We talk about everything,” said Winda stared intently at his daughter.
“Don't you like Sam that much? Same with Sam dating Mama is no problem. How come this time Mama should think long ago?”
“Dira getting married is not like dating. Everything must be arranged carefully. Then Mama must meet first with the family Sam.” Adira pouted because not directly given blessing, “what's more you're the only daughter Mama. Mama wants the best for all kids Mama.”
“Mama's support has a point, Dek. You better be patient in a few days. Tell Sam to bring his family here. Although we all already know the background of Sam, but still a wedding is not something that can be taken lightly.”
“True your sister.” Agree Winda.
Adira just nodded afterwards. He had to meet Abrisam this afternoon, he thought.
•••
“So that means I went to your house to propose?” ask Sam who is sitting on a swing.
Adira who was sitting next to him nodded with narrowed eyes. This afternoon was so glare. This girl told me what she and her family were discussing this morning.
After finding work Adira took time to meet Abrisam in a city park. Luckily, Sam is also done with college.
“Such as Mama meant, but Mama just said tell Sam take his family to Mama's house to talk first.”
Sam took a deep breath, “I'll tell Papi. Maybe we can go there on Sunday. Nothing at all?”
Adira nodded, “no problem. Means three more days.”
The man nodded by moving the swing up and down.His pair of legs dangled down.
“You've got a job?” sam asked to switch the conversation.
The girl whose hair was pigtied was also playing the swing she was sitting on, “not yet, it is also difficult to find work.”
“You applied to be a chef?”
Dira nodded, “iya, according to my college major. My goal so far ‘kan to be a chef. Prayer ‘make a quick job yes, Sam!”
Sam smiled, “I always pray for you. Spirit, you can definitely!”
