BECAUSE OF YOU, MY DESTINY.

Maaf

Degs... Riana sculpting...

He remembered that he had an appointment with both of his parents. Instantly he let go of Alvin's hand. "I'm sorry, sir." - Riana glazed back.

"Sorry, sorry for what?" Alvin becomes tense fearing Riana rejects him.

"I can't, I can't accept your proposal." Riana shook her head. His heart suddenly ached as it rejected the man before him.

A long time ago he waited for this moment hoping to meet the man he loved. But now that he has met, he must let go again in order to keep his promise to his parents.

"Why? don't you want this too? or is there another man you love?" cerca Alvin in a row.

"Nothing at all. But I really can't. I'm sorry." Riana stood up to leave Alvin.

But his hand was cut off by Alvin. "Explain clearly, why did you reject me? I'm willing to wait until this second because I believe you're my destiny. And why don't you marry me now?" Alvin turned cold, but his heart was pounding and felt pain at Riana's rejection.

Riana looked back at the sad looking man. "I promised my parents I'd take someone and I'd be married in a week. That's why I can't. I'm sorry." said Riana and unexpectedly her tears dripped.

"Ri, why did you have to sacrifice a second time? we can talk to your father and cancel the wedding." Alvin also stared sadly at the woman before him.

"Sorry, Brother. I prefer my parents because I'm sure it's the best." Riana let go of Alvin's check, her eyes begging to let him go.

Alvin loosened his check. She could not force Riana, her parents were higher up than her.

"Well, if that's your choice then I'll let you go and I'll try to forget you. It's been enough all this time that I've been waiting for you to be with you but fate says something else. I don't want to wish too deeply into something uncertain. I went to forget you." Alvin was forced to say that, he felt tired of having to keep hoping. He is just an ordinary man who sometimes likes to feel tired and desperate.

Riana stared at Alvin's departure without even wanting to hear back her words. His tears rolled increasingly profusely soaking down his white cheeks. His chest felt tight like he was squeezed by a big rock, he was drowned limp in the chair.

Both of her hands were on her face, she was crying a mouthful of lamenting her love story. "Why should it be like this? why when I found him he was gone again. Oh God, it feels like my chest is so tight. L loved her...I loved her before I knew what her face was like. Hiks hyks hyks."

Alvin's heart was so sad to see the woman he loved crying bitterly alone under the mango tree. He also shed tears. Alvin hasn't really left yet but instead hides to make sure Riana is okay. But it turns out that Riana is crying uncontrollably making her heartless and decided to go back to see Riana.

"Why did you go a second time, brother? why do you have to attend if only to leave? I loved you a long time before I knew your face, but now that we've met why did you just give up... Hiks...hiks..hiks where is your promise? where is your earnestness you used to say? hiks. hiks... hiks..."

"Honey," call Alvin.

Riana who heard Alvin's call looked up. "Sister Vino."

Alvin crouched down in front of Riana, he wiped the tears that were on his female face, staring lovingly at the woman before him. "I'll fight for you."

"But..."

"Sstttt..." Alvin put his index finger on Riana's lips. "There is no rejection."

Suddenly Riana hugged Alvin. Alvin was surprised, but he also returned Riana's embrace and rubbed her back.

"I love you brother, Vino."

"I love you too, my darling. Now we go to your father's house!" Invite Alvin to break his arms and stand up.

****

Everyone looked seriously at the sturdy handsome man who was before them.

"So you want to marry my daughter?" tanya Yanto stared intently at Alvin.

Alvin has spoken that he wants to marry Riana as soon as possible and asks for Riana's match with her parents' chosen man to be canceled.

"Really, Sir. I love her and want to make her my wife more than anything that's ever happened." Alvin said.

"Sorry, Son Alvin. Riana's been betrothed, and the day after tomorrow is her wedding."

"What?! that fast?" said Riana and Alvin.

"Don't you say another week? but why now say the day after tomorrow?" Riana panicked and anxious, her heart uncertain fear Alvin's plan was rejected.

"The parents of your future husband want to hasten the marriage you're afraid of their son being filthy." Said Yanto glancing at Alvin for a bit then looked at Riana who happened to be sitting opposite him near Alvin.

"But, sir.." It's not finished yet, Yanto cut his words.

"Riana..!! You promised me you would accept this match. Don't be ashamed, Ri. A promise is a debt you must keep." Yanto showed a disappointed face and adored his son to want.

Riana could not speak, only tears of sadness spoke. He squeezed the clothes he was wearing.

"Ri, you will reject this matchmaking right? did we agree to fight for our love?" Said Alvin looking seriously at Riana's face.

"Riana...!! You want to be a dissident's son? it's not you, son." Ani who had been watching.

Riana and Alvin gasped, hearing Ani's snapping. Riana was increasingly unable to say, if her Mama had snapped means she had crossed the line.

"Mom, Sir. Don't blame Riana. I want to fight for it." Alvin could not bear and certainly hurt to see the frightened face of the woman he loved.

"Now you choose us or him?" timpal Yanto gives you a choice.

"Sir, why is that?" Riana looked up in disbelief.

Yanto looked disappointed, and it succeeded in making Riana peck for a moment, then Riana stood up from her seat.. "Sorry, Brother. I prefer my parents. Sorry." Riana said she felt guilty and left her parents.

"Ri, don't go, Ri..!! Not that we're going to fight together, but why are you giving up, Riana." Alvin panics and wants to chase Riana in but is held back by Ani.

"We hope, Son Alvin is breastfed. If indeed you are fooled then God will unite in any way," said Ani advising.

Alvin looked down, he ruffled his hair in frustration and stood up and said goodbye to them. "Sorry, I'll excuse you. Assalamualaikum," said Alvin then kissed both hands of Riana's parents.

"Waalaikumsalam salam." They both looked at Alvin. Their inner words, "Pardon us."
