"Rico, what are you doing! are you really going to let go of the promise you made yourself? what were you saying in front of me at the time? "

Rico is surprised to find the spirit of Fahmi who suddenly came when he was busy recording all the items that will be spent tomorrow.

How could a Rico who was so trusted in his words now try to renege on his own promise just because of the problem at hand, there must be something that had made him that way.

Instantly Rico stopped his activities after he listened to what Fahmi said, Rico looked at him with a bad heart and heartlessness.

A trusted person is the words that come out of his mouth if it is unbelievable then everything will be low in human eyes, that is the principle of a Rico and he very much upholds the words that come out of his own mouth and will not be possible to deny it.

"Do you think that I can forget the promise I made? The answer is no! Even I remember everything, all the words that came out of my mouth." Riko Exclamation

"Then? why do you want to let go of Aisyah! do you not know that I have entrusted him to you. "

Rico closed his eyes for a moment exhaling a heavy breath that felt very difficult. His chest felt tight, his heart ached, and also his mind was extremely chaotic. It would be easy for Rico to let go and forget Aisyah just like that.

Trying to maintain but it feels very difficult even let go also feels very painful that is what Rico is experiencing at this time, his heart wanted to maintain but his mind wanted to let go because he realized he would not be equal let alone to be able to make Aisyah happy.

"I am not a beggar who would groan for mercy from someone, I also have pride, Sir. A man may hold on to his love but not by crying to get it."

Fahmi was surprised by what Rico said, Fahmi is confused where Rico who used to be very familiar to him who was always eager to maintain his love why now Rico feels like Rico wants to hands off Aisyah.

"Rico, why are you changing now, where was the old Rico! also the one I know very well! why now Rico is like a stranger to me, " said Fahmi did not believe the changes Rico so fast.

"Yes, this is not the Rico you know. And let's just say you never knew Rico. Rico is always fighting but only humiliation is earned. Yet this! This is the foreign Rico! That will stop in his struggle! "

There was something different from Rico now, his anger was so explosive, his patience and maturity was lost.

Wh why?

What was?

Why is everything like this?

That's all that keeps ringing in Fahmi's head. The last time he met him Rico was still mediocre, but what's up with now? Why Rico wants to let go of Aisyah.

Rico lowered his head to hide his face with both palms. He's really frustrated with this situation, he's tired, he can't fight anymore. Why is he fighting if he doesn't get what he wants.

The pain in his heart only Rico himself knows, only he himself can hold it without him willing to share it with anyone. The clear grain that came out, he quickly removed it, he did not want to look weak he did not want to look like a cool man who always let out tears.

"Why, Ric? What the hell's going on? " Fahmi approaches touching his shoulder even though Rico only vaguely perceives.

"Did anyone say anything to you? Does anything make you like this? " Tanya Fahmi continued to investigate.

𝘍𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬...

Rico who was still riding his motorcycle after returning from campus suddenly stopped because there was a black car that stopped him.

Because he could not walk forward again by being forced to stop even though he was in a hurry to get to the Nusantara restaurant.

Just now Rico stopped two men from getting out of the black car. Rico frowned confused as to why the person was blocking him in the middle of the road like this, what was the problem.

"Down, I want to talk to you. " Say one man who is none other than Marco.

Yes, the two men were Marco and Rayyan. They both seemed to have planned all this.

Rico took off his helmet, put it on his bike and then he went down as Marco told him to.

"Sway Aisyah." Marco exclaimed with a very loud voice even his eyes had already glared sharply towards Rico.

Although faced with a stressful situation, Rico remained calm as usual, there was no fear or hesitation, but Rico just smiled blandly with this situation.

That smile that came out of Rico's lips, not even a month of conditions given to Rico but Rayyan also Marco has asked him to stay away from Aisyah.

"Isn't there still a week? " It was amazing that Rico with the two people in front of him, Rayyan himself who asked for one month but this is still one week away but he has banned it, worse yet why there must be any Marco, does Rayyan not dare to face him? Or maybe they both planned it all for this heart.

"Are you sure you can make it all happen in one week? You should've stayed, Ric! What are you like? How are you doing? Is that why you can make Aisha happy? Nah! You're just gonna make him suffer."

Marco kept looking for Rico's weakness, without being revealed, Rico was already aware that he would never be able to make Aisyah happy with the material, but whether he could not make Aisyah happy with the sincerity of her love? He can do it, right?.

"I know." Reply Rico who is completely self-aware.

"Do you know what Rico is you like? You are like a beggar! Begging to ask for mercy from us, you should be self-conscious before you decide to approach Aisha."

"So that guy's a gentle one, Ric! Where is your pride as a man. Do you have no shame begging to get the blessing of a girl's parents who already have a soul mate! Is that all your pride?"

"You're a bad man, Ric! You will never deserve to be with Aisyah. Why are you bad? Because a good man will not let a man's child oppose his own parents, a good man will not let a man's children continue to fight only because of an unreasonable love like yours! "

So bad every word that came out of Marco's mouth. Although Rico was only silent but his heart seemed to be in stabs using rusty nails, it was painful and would always be imprinted.

Is it true that Rico has no self-respect?

Is it true that Rico never deserves to be with Aisyah?

Was Rico really a bad guy, who never deserved love?

Is his poverty a problem? Is it his stupidity that makes him have to be humbled like this?

What then?

What about people like them? A man who is rich in wealth but poor in heart.

A man who is wide in his insight but narrow in his way of mind.

People who claim to be dignified but insulting, demeaning to others.

What name is appropriate for them?

"again, Ric! Soon you stay away from Aisyah. And if you really love Aisyah, let her be happy and make sure she receives an arranged marriage" said Marco, who asked Rico himself to bring Aisha closer to Farel.

"Remember everything I said fine. If you do not obey it means you are a man who has no shame and no self-esteem. " Cin' stuck

Satisfied it can make Rico down like now. Everything Marco said without thinking of a fragile heart.

𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘭...

"I have my pride, sir. I am not a beggar, I am not a beggar! Aghhh!! "'Sco cried frustrated.

" Riko.. " Pangil Fahmi but Rico kept quiet this time. His heart was deeply broken from humiliation.
