"Come on, Novita. What's so hard about saying, Yes? After all, we will pay all the costs for you," Yudhis said pleadingly. Meanwhile, the girl whose full name is Novita Putri Anggraeni who continued to listen to the pleading sentence was only able to sigh in disgust when her two friends kept asking her to do something she really didn't like.

"It's obviously very difficult, Yudhis. If only you took me to travel to the beach or even abroad. Traveling around Europe and so on, of course I would have immediately agreed to your request. But this, visiting the graves of ancestors and kings? Seriously!" Novita continued to refuse. I don't know how many times she had refused. While they themselves had discussed this matter dozens of times, even for today Yudhis and Ardian had pleaded with Novita for almost an hour.

It was clear that Novita felt uneasy, because every time she met with her two best friends it was always the event of visiting the tombs of kings that they discussed. As for Novita, let alone visiting the tombs of kings. Visiting her family's burial area is very rare.

"Why would you go to a cemetery so far out of town, Adrian? There's a huge cemetery in the alley next to your house. Save your money for that. I can accompany you to the village cemetery if you want," Novita quickly retorted. Making Adrian and Yudhis instantly look at each other and end up sighing.

"That's different, Novita. Definitely different." Yudhis again tried to explain.

"What's different, Yudhis? All funerals are obviously the same. I really wonder about people who just want to pray that they are willing to travel far. Especially when it's just a funeral. Besides, did you know the king? No, right?" Novita continued to be evasive.

"How hard can it be, Novita?" Yudhis tried to extend his patience.

"Yes, after all, there we will not only visit the cemetery of the ancestors, but also the beach, and other tourist attractions." Andrian explained. Then he took out his cell phone and searched for something on it.

"Look, this is the information in the group that my mom sent me," Adrian said as he held out the cell phone in his hand to Novita, showing a list of locations they would visit later. Novita, on the other hand, still had a disinterested look on her face.

"Ah, or just like this, after everything is done, Adrian will buy you whatever you want. Your favorite boy band album? Concert tickets? Or whatever it is," said Yudhis, breaking the silence between them.

"Hey! Why me?" protested Adrian when he heard his brother's ridiculous proposal. Meanwhile, Yudhis immediately nudged his shoulder indifferently. "Already, shut up."

On the other hand, Novita, who heard Yudhis discussing her favorite boy band, a Korean boy band that she idolized, immediately showed a twinkle in her eyes.

"Is this serious?" asked Novita as if in disbelief.

Yudhis, who saw that, suddenly developed a smile feeling that his lure had paid off, and it even seemed that the man was staring ignorantly at Adrian while moving his eyebrows up and down.
