"Dad left for work first."
"Yes, yeah."
I lay back in the hospital bed. Then I heard my door open.
"Morning, Na." said Nico.
"Eh, emm.. morning."
"Where are you? Did you go out?" tanyakanya.
"Yes. I can go home tomorrow, he said."
"Ooo.. emm. I brought you some fruit."
"Thank you, Nic."
We hadn't seen each other in a long time, so it felt a little awkward.
"Emm... How is your job?" my many.
"Well - all right. Your college?"
"Yes, a lot of work."
"You're graduating soon."
"Yes. But, still confused want to apply for work where later."
We are silent again.
"Emmm.. Na, you still want to tell me the time before I move?" tanyakanya.
"Which one did you say?"
I pretend I don't know.
"Emm. not so. You must have forgotten."
Sorry, Nic.
"Tomorrow you don't have to come here anymore" I said.
"Why?" tanyanya's confused.
"I'm doing better."
"I like you. You remember those words, don't you?" tanyakanya.
"Nic, don't ask me for more. I just think of you as my friend."
"We're gonna get married and we're gonna get married, Na."
"I can't. You're not the one I love, Nic."
"Love comes in habituation, Na."
"And that love can't be forced, Nic." I said in a snapping tone.
Then Nico kissed my lips. I was surprised to immediately try to let go.
Plaque...
"That's disgusting, Nic." I said, wiping my lips with the back of my hand.
Nico came out of my room.
He must be angry. And he won't see me again.

I am now in the cafeteria.
"Hey, Bri." said Meira.
"Eh, May."
"Where can the exam be?" tanyakanya.
"Don't ask. You must know my answer."
"We're almost graduating. And we still can't answer the exam properly."
"How else do you want? The lecturer gave a very difficult question."
"Yes. Where will the holidays go?" tanyakanya.
"Don't know. There's no plan."
"Do you want to go both ways?" bargained for.
"Vacation bag?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Bole tuh. Where are you going?"
"Shopping."
"I thought so." I said.
It's just a whimper.
We also talked about a lot of things.
"Bri, it's 2 o'clock. Go home yuk." take Meira.
"Eh, it's really afternoon. Yeah, do you want me to get an anther?"
"No need. I'm taking a taxi."
I nodded my head. Then I went to the parking lot to get my car.

Ting tong's...
I went out of the room to open the door.
"Eh, Dean."
"Again, Nana." said.
"Emm. morning om."
I'm a little awkward, 'cause there's Nico next to Dean.
Does he remember what happened at the hospital?
After I told them to come in, I called Dad.
"Eh, how come morning - morning gini?" ask dad.
"Ndre, I came to talk about our son's matchmaking."
I was surprised to hear it too.
"I mean om?" my many.
"Don't you know, Na? You haven't told her, ndre?"
"Eh, I've been telling her from a long time."
"Nana doesn't want to be fooled. This can't happen!" I said with anger.
I went into the room and locked it.
Tok..
"Na, open the door." said my father outside the room.

20 January 2018
Since the incident a few weeks ago. My relationship with my father is strained.
He won't eat breakfast with me and won't talk to me again.
I'm just so tired of that attitude.
ddrrt...
"Are you in front of the house?" I asked Steven on the phone.
"Udah."
"Ok, wait for me outside."
I disconnected the phone and immediately left the house.
"Morning." said
"Morning too."
He started his car engine and drove me to college.
"Every diligent learner" he said.
"Ready one."
I got out of the car. And he's leaving soon.
My relationship with Steven has been going well. Although, I haven't talked about my matchmaking with him.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••
"Bri." call dad.
Tumben once you called me Bri?
"Emm.. why, yeah?"
"Come here."
I approached my father who was sitting on the sofa.
"You want to know why I'm setting you up with Nico."
"Emm. yeah."
"Om Dean it's not what you think it is."
"I mean dad?"
"Maybe in front of you he looks good, but behind you he's not that good."
I'm still digesting dad's words.
"Dad borrowed money from him for something. But instead, he made a foolish agreement to marry you to his son."
"really?"
"Yes, something happened first. But, I can't say it."
"So, Dean's been making deals since I was a kid?" my many.
"Yes. Dad tried to talk to her. But, he doesn't care what Dad says."
"Then? Is there no other way?"
"none. I'm sorry, dad."
I am confused by all this reality. So, that's why you can't cancel my match.
"Dad please go with Nana. Marry Nico."
"Nico could be just like his dad, yeah."
"No. I know he's different. And he also has more feelings for you."
"Nana loves Steven, yeah. I already know how much I love him."
"Dad apologize, Na."
"It turns out, what you told Nana before was true. I'm too selfish."
I immediately got out of my seat and went into the room. I was crying too.

April 23, 2018
"Morning, my dear." said Steven
"Morning."
"Let off now?"
"Yes." Yeah."
He took me to college.
"Bri, how long are we going to be in this relationship?"
"You mean?" many of me are still focused on staring at my HP.
"You've been betrothed by someone else, haven't you?"
I stopped my activity and stared straight at him.
"Emm.. What does that mean, Stev?"
He pulled his car over on the side of the road.
"Down yuk first."
I got off the car.
"Why did you tell me to come down?" my many.
"Let's talk better."
"Stev, what do you mean?"
"Why do you like to lie anyway? You clearly understand all of my words."
"When do you know?"
"Olderly old man. Your father came to me at home and talked about everything."
"You know, then why didn't you say it?"
"We're back to the question. Why didn't you ever say that?"
"I'm not ready, Stev."
"Oh, so you're ready to tell me when you're married?"
"Stev, I just don't want us to separate."
"Then, you want me to be your affair?" he said with a little pressing.
"No, Stev."
"I don't love you anymore, Bri" he said.
"What?" many confusions.
"We'll just end this relationship."
That man left me alone. Does he really not love me anymore?But, Why?
Flashback off
I saw the car was already away from me. Everything's ending.
