"Mom already knew, about Sena" William's mother said one afternoon on the back porch of the house.
At that time William and his parents were enjoying a cup of tea and some snacks.
William was stunned to hear the mother's words. Could it be that her mother would ask her to give up, or perhaps give her the spirit to fight for her love.
"You can't do that, son. No matter how much you love her, if Sena prefers to be with Albert who is the father of her son. You can what?" willia's mother said continuing her sentence.
"But I love him so much, ma'am" said William stubbornly.
"Mom knows, but isn't the value of love by letting the person you love be happy? Relieve him, son. Later, she will be your sister-in-law. The wife of your cousin's sister." said William's mother, hoping that the son would understand.
"Lusa, come with us to Germany" said William's father, who had just listened.
"For what?" ask William.
"Please so you don't stress" William's father said, then moved from his seat.
William's mother smiled patted the son's shoulder and then followed the husband.
"Yeahh." William was frustrated.
In William's parents' room, by the way,
"Tell me, what are you planning?" ask William's mother to her husband.
"You remember my best friend Wilbert, who lived in Germany?"
"Emm, yeah."
"Actually we've been wanting to do an arranged marriage between William and his daughter. The daughter is very pretty, not inferior to Sena."
"really?"
"Yes, take a look at this" William's father said, showing a picture of a beautiful girl on his phone.
"Pretty. But, do you think William would agree?"
"definitely. But before telling her about this match. Let them meet each other first."
"Yes, should. I told Wilbert to arrange his dinner."
"Goodoo. May my son find his happiness soon." said William's mother then rested her head on the husband's shoulder.
Two days later, in Germany.

"Yes, just a minute." cried William from inside the hotel room.

"Well, why aren't you getting ready?" ask William's mother to be annoyed.
"Where are you going?" asked William with a tired face.
"Dine, get ready. Wear a neat shirt. Your hairdo, don't let it collapse like that. Mom and Dad will be waiting for you in the lobby." replied William's mother.
"Emm, fine." said William according to.
After his mother left, William immediately prepared. He chose to wear a long-sleeved black shirt with his arms folded up to his elbows. His favorite cartier watch is neatly embedded in his large wrist. Not to forget he wore Gucci leather shoes that his mother chose a few days ago. After finishing his clothes and tidying his hair, he immediately went down to the lobby where his father and mother were waiting.
"Why is dinner only why are mom and dad so neat?" william asked when he was in front of his parents.
"Eating tonight is very important to you" William's father said smilingly glancing at his wife.
"I mean dad?" william was confused.
"Here you go" said William's mother smiling.
After traveling by car with a duration that is not too long, William and his parents arrived at a luxury restaurant in downtown Berlin. William's mother gracefully walked into the restaurant holding William's father's hand. And William himself just followed behind.
At a table, it was already waiting for a middle-aged man with two women next to it. William guessed it, if the woman sitting right next to the middle-aged man was his wife and the woman next to him again was probably his daughter.
William sighed softly, he was not an innocent and foolish man who did not realize the veiled intent of this dinner. But William was just silent and only followed the scenario set by his parents.
