Episode 1

Novan came bringing various crops to Diana's house. Indeed, every rice harvest or any garden harvest, he always brought some for his lover's family. It could even be said that Diana's parents never bought rice because before it ran out, Novan and his parents would give them more.

It seems Novan's family has also agreed if their son will marry Diana later. After all, they have known each other for a long time and loved each other. Diana also doesn't work at all and has no intention of working abroad even though she has a high school diploma that might be useful for applying for jobs.

This beautiful girl with dark skin prefers to stay at home rather than be busy looking for work here and there, unlike her older sister who already works at that very large shoe factory. Her salary is also bigger than just staying at home without any work at all.

Who wants to give two million rupiah per month if you just stay at home, at least that's what Ria thinks. She really couldn't stand staying at home, so as soon as she graduated, she immediately looked for a job, while Diana preferred to wander around aimlessly looking for entertainment so she wouldn't get bored at home all the time.

"Look at your sister, now her salary has increased." Deni spoke up as the eldest brother.

"So what? I never asked for her salary," replied Diana casually while stirring the rendang.

"Yes, you should work, don't just wander around unclearly!" Deni was annoyed with his youngest sister.

"Even though I'm wandering around, I never asked for your money, Bro!" Diana was annoyed because her brother was being talkative.

"You ask for Novan's money! He's just a boyfriend, if it doesn't work out, you'll be embarrassed because you've spent so much of his money," Deni snapped, very angry with Diana's behavior.

Diana was furious but didn't dare to speak again because she might be slapped. She already knew how harsh her brother's nature was, so it was better to just keep quiet even though she was very upset. It was always Ria who was praised as a hardworking child.

"Ria is always the one praised, even though I never asked for her money!" Diana grumbled.

"Your brother is giving advice, you shouldn't keep asking Novan for money," Mrs. Hasnah also advised her daughter.

"Novan is not a rich person, poor him working hard and you ask for his money." Pak Bujang also spoke up.

"I'm not the one asking for his money! It's Novan who gives me money, I never begged him for money," Diana insisted.

The parents could only sigh because they were actually ashamed of Novan's parents. Rice and all other necessities were always given to them. Even Diana still asked Novan for money. If they were married, it wouldn't be a problem, but they were still dating and all their needs were taken care of by Novan.

"Then you better just marry Novan!" Pak Bujang said firmly.

"What are you talking about, Dad?!" Diana was annoyed at being told to get married.

"Your father is right, Diana! If you are married to Novan, then it won't be the talk of the town even if you drain all his wealth," said Mrs. Hasnah.

Clang.

Annoyed because she was constantly being lectured by her parents, Diana slammed down the spoon she had used to stir the rendang. She was no longer in the mood to cook, so she threw it away and immediately left with a very angry heart. Luckily, Deni was no longer watching. If he knew that Diana had slammed the spoon, he would definitely have beaten his very stubborn little sister.

...****************...

Who wouldn't be tempted to see the handsomeness of a native Javanese man with his charming smile? But no matter how beautiful the woman who tempted him, he was never interested because his love was only for Diana. No one could replace Diana's position in his heart. For four years, the girl he was going to marry had reigned there.

Although to be honest, Mrs. Romlah didn't really like her son's future wife. This was certainly because of the rumors circulating that Diana very often asked for money for all sorts of needs. They were still dating and it was already like this. What would happen later if they got married and she became his wife?

"Mom, don't be easily influenced by people's words. Diana has never asked me for money at all," Novan tried to calm his mother.

"Then where did your money go? All this time you've been working on your own land, and at night you still work overtime!" Mrs. Romlah wanted to see her son's money.

"I put it in the bank, Mom!" Novan lied. He didn't have any savings.

"Let me see your savings then, you have a balance or the amount of your money in the account book," forced Mrs. Romlah again.

"Just leave it, Mom! That's Novan's money too, you already have your father to get money for you," said Mr. Hasan, coming to mediate the argument.

"Mom doesn't want to ask for his money, Dad! Just want to see if Novan still has money," explained Mrs. Romlah.

Mr. Hasan could already see from his son's behavior that something was wrong, so as much as possible to prevent them from arguing again about the money that Novan earned from working and selling the harvest from his fairly large rice field.

Novan had been given his own rice field to cultivate. One harvest would earn him a lot of money. It wouldn't run out if he ate it alone because Novan still ate with his parents. He actually only used his money for cigarettes or to buy what he wanted, but the bad news that kept circulating made Mrs. Romlah annoyed.

"Then just marry her. Of course, if your money runs out, it's for your wife," said Mrs. Romlah.

"Diana is not ready, Mom! Besides, she is the youngest child in her family, how could she get married before her two siblings?" replied Novan.

"So many excuses, it seems that Ria is better than Diana!" Mrs. Romlah was annoyed.

Novan just kept quiet and couldn't argue because many people had said or praised Ria for being better than Diana, but Novan's love was only for Diana.

Please, those who don't like it, don't give it a 1 to 4 star rating because it's really useless for you guys too. Just comment, and I won't accept all of them, even the curses you utter.
