Mr. Danny's family home is crowded, because today is Mr. Danny's birthday. All the brothers Mr. Danny and Mr. Asri have gathered to celebrate Mr. Danny's 55th birthday.
The busyness of each makes the brother of Mr. Danny and Ms. Asri rarely meet. Only at moments like this could they gather. So that when they meet like this, they can share stories with each other.
"Mom, wasn't Toby told you that today is gathering?" Ask Mr. Danny while whispering to Ms. Asri.
"Yeah, Dad. You know, maybe it's still on the way." Ms. Asri replied slowly, and stroked Mr. Danny's arm, to be patient.
"May not get stuck or not be asked to overtime." Said Mrs Asri again and hoped.
"Hopefully not because of your request, she's late to go home." Said Mr. Danny.
"Which request, Dad." Ask Ms. Asri, while looking at her husband.
"Have you forgotten, or are you pretending to forget?" Mr. Danny asked back.
"Oooh, that'suu." Said Ms. Asri while moving her hands depicting a woman's body.
"Yes, thatuu." Said Mr. Danny while imitating what his wife did.
"It doesn't seem to be, Dad. Toby didn't tell me he could come." Said Ms. Asri with a disappointed face.
"Don't you just say she's ready to come?" Ask Mr. Danny with his forehead folded, seeing the disappointed face of his wife.
"He said he wanted to, but he wanted to talk to Toby and his mom. Some of them may not allow it. Or both will not allow. But I'm more suspicious of your son who won't." Said Ms. Asri, while remembering her conversation with Toby, this afternoon.
"Have it, don't force it. Mother also, just met once, has been to 'PD'an ngundang. He must have thought and asked a lot of questions in his head. Sudaaah, prepare the food." Said Mr. Danny, while stroking his wife's arm so as not to think.
"But, Dad. From her voice earlier, I felt like she accepted Mom's invitation." Said Bu Asri who was still hoping.
"Yeah, yeah, Mom. Step on a strong floor and please prepare food." Said Mr. Danny, leaving his wife smiling and shaking his head.

On the other side; Toby and Kandara are on their way into his house. Sayup-sayup heard the sound of laughter from the direction in Toby's house.
"Mas, there are a lot of people." Said Kandara stunned, then stood up.
"Just calm down, the inside is all tame. Later if there is something that has not been tamed, we 'smess' to Mala." Toby joked to calm Kandara down.
"Baby, Tobiii. Those words are only for a limited circle of space programmers. Not allowed to be published, without permission from Mas Mala. It could be Mas Toby who is cupped." Said Kandara with a smile.
"Srstttt..." Said Toby, gesturing for Kandara to shut up and stand slightly to the left of the door. Then Toby knocked on his door.
"Good night, Mom." Toby gave his greetings, as Ms. Asri opened the door of her house.
"Gosh, since when did you enter the house with all the taps?" Bu Asri asked when he saw Toby standing in front of the door.
"Yaaaa, since there was a 55th birthday." Toby said, stand at the door and see Mr. Danny approaching.
"Get in, before Mom messes up your ears. You're the one who didn't let me, Dara came here, right?" Ask Bu Asri again in a sure tone, who was disappointed.
"Who said it, Mom. Don't like to accuse..." Toby said with a smile. "This is. The man has come." Say Toby again, while giving Kandara the code to get closer.
"God. Let's go in, Dara. Why don't b'ri know Mom?" Said Bu Asri while hitting Toby's arm.
"Indeed, Mother, who can surprise you?" Said Toby as he walked following his mother who was walking with Kandara in front of him.
Mr. Danny came up to them with a radiant face. "Good night, sir. Happy Birthday." Said Kandara approaching Mr. Danny, and gave his greetings.
"Vuualah... Thank you, Dara. Ayooo, come in." Mr. Danny took Kandara to his family's gathering place.
"Well, what's wrong with Dad's face?" Toby asked, ledekin his father who was smiling, happy. Mr. Danny didn't expect, Kandara could actually come. It made her very happy on her birthday.
Like Ms. Asri, Mr. Danny has also fallen in love with Kandara and is very hopeful that she can become her daughter-in-law. "It's Dad's birthday, so it's nice to be able to get all together." Answer Mr. Danny avoids further teasing Toby.
All the families in the living room were silent when they saw Mr. Danny and Mr. Asri coming in with Toby and Kandara. They all thought Kandara was Toby's girlfriend.
Seeing the reaction of his family, Toby increasingly regretted agreeing to Kandara accept his mother's invitation. "Good night everyone, meet this OFFICE BUDDY Toby. Her name is Dara." Toby emphasized office friends for his family.
"Truely, Mba' Dara works in the same office as Mas Toby? Is Mba' Dara really working with Mas Toby?" Asked one of Toby's cousins, in disbelief.
"God... Vera, if Dara is not Mas Toby's coworker, then a doll playmate? Your mouth valves, before a lot of insects make a place to live in them?" Said Toby, who shook his head looking at his cousin's window.
Kandara could only smile in embarrassment, making her face start blushing. Vera looked at him in amazement. "Mba' Dara is not an artist or a model?" Vera asked who was still curious, because she saw Kandara's very beautiful face.
"Yes, Vera. I'm Mas Toby's coworker, rather, we're a work team. I'm a programmer, same with Mas Toby." Answer Kandara to convince Vera.
"You think a pretty one can't be a programmer? That's a pity, male programmer. Just looking at the box every day. That's enough, he said. Give me a seat for Mba' Dara." Say Toby, then poke Vera's chin.
"Mother too, follow Vera bengong. Already dead, but left to stand." Toby's words made Bu Asri so unwell. He immediately let Kandara sit down.
"Oooh, yes Ma'am. I can only bring this. Because we're doing a lot of work, so you can't ask for permission to leave." Said Kandara while handing over the cake box she still held.
"Thank you, Dara. We're troubling you." Said Ms. Asri, feeling bad for Kandara.
"Ngga bother ko' ma'am, but we bought all the way here." Said Kandara, slowly.
"Ayooo, Mum. It's already on the hungry, let's eat. We'll talk again." Said Mr. Danny, reminding his wife.
"Oooh, yeah, Dad. I forgot to forget." Said Bu Asri who could not concentrate, because of the presence of Kandara. His heart is very happy.
"Yoo, Toby. Pray for your father's birthday and our dinner." Said Bu Asri. Toby immediately froze at his mother's request.
"Mom, I'm the one praying. If Toby's praying, stop in the middle of the road." His mother and father immediately saw him with an inexplicable face.
Their hope, Toby who prayed so that there was an additional point in Kandara's eyes. A good priest for his family. They didn't realize Toby had never prayed in front of so many people. It can make him groggy and wrongly said, let alone there is Kandara with him.
"Oooh, yeah. Dara, please help prayer, yes." Toby deliberately asked Kandara, so that his mother would pray. Both of Toby's parents could only shake his head. Seeing his son's undiminished indifference.
"Ooh, yeah, Mas. But I'm sorry, if it's just a simple prayer, yeah." Said Kandara standing up. Toby is surprised, Kandara accepts, even though Kandara does not know her family well. Toby expects his mother to pray.
