"I'm here to take Melati to college." Ilham smiled faintly at the bowed Melati sitting next to Ardhi. Then the man turned his gaze to Ardhi with a sour face. Ardhi did not want to look towards Ilham. He can ride a black hole, when he sees the man. The pain of being beat up by that man was still very much felt. Last night Ardhi could not fight Ilham. He allowed himself to be beaten up by the man, as a form of punishment for him, for having made a fatal mistake to Melati.
But, if this morning. Inspiration still meddles in his affairs he will not remain silent. His determination is unanimous to marry Melati.
"Oohh so, but Dek Melati there is still important business with Mr. Ardhi, Dek Ilham." Tara said, be firm. He did not want Inspiration to go too far in this matter. But clearly, what he did was in vain.
"Dek Melati, in half an hour you're testing?!" Inspiration ignores Tara's words. He urges Melati to go to college.
"I'll take him to college." Replied Ardhi firmly. He has to show his current position. She'll be Melati's husband.
Inspiration is silent, it is no longer time for tension. Melati, already in answer. The woman no longer needs it. Of course Melati chose Ardhi rich man.
Found the fact that he won't be able to be with Melati. It made his heart ache, it hurt so much. Inspiration gives the heart completely, but all it gets is a wound. The woman did not choose him.
Without saying much more. Inspiration retreated its steps. He must be self-conscious quickly. Before he was ashamed of himself.
Melati glanced at Ilham with the tail of her eyes that were walking weakly out of the house. Melati is sad and very guilty. He also got up from his seat. Running with tears falling down his cheeks, approaching Ilham who was on his bike.
"Bang Ilham's...!" Inspiration shut off the engine. Looking towards Melati who walked while wiping her tears.
Melati loves Ilham. He loved the man ever since he knew what it was to have a crush on the opposite sex. At High School, he did not expect, that his class brother also liked it. Two people who love each other must separate, because of the compelling circumstances.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa!" he said down with a heart-wrenching voice. Inspiration down from his motorbike. Pay attention to the sticky Jasmine who is still down.
"May you be happy Deck. Your choice is right. He's a rich man, a successful businessman. You'll be happy later. Unlike Brother, who has nothing." Speak Inspiration with teary eyes.
Melati is getting hurt by hearing the words of Inspiration. The man accuses her of choosing Ardhi because of his property.
"If you need help from your brother later. Don't hesitate, you'll help. May you be happy." Inspiration Pat slowly Melati's shoulder. The man immediately caught gas from the house. Melati sobbed, staring at the departure of Ilham.
Tara, Dewun and Ardhi watched the separation of the two men from the veranda of the house with sad facial expressions. Those three humans, could sense what Melati was feeling at this moment. Because, the three humans, were also in the position of Melati.
"Where did Melati enter Ardhi sir?!" tara's word to Ardhi who is still dumbfounded. He felt very guilty, because of his carelessness to drink the liquor, making Melati separated from Ilham.
"Ooh i-yes." He answered nervously, walking over to Melati.
"I'll take you to college." Ardhi was confused to say anything to Melati. Be him calling Melati 'you'.
Melati follows Ardhi into Tara's house. Ardhi says goodbye to Tara and Dewun. And so is Melati. The woman grabbed her sling bag lying on the sofa she was sitting on.
"I need to talk to your parents. And I also need your address in the village." Ardhi's words made jasmine jump in shock. He who had been looking out the window, finally turned his head towards Ardhi. They're on their way to Melati's campus. Currently Ardhi's car is driven by a driver.
"Un-tuk, what's it for, sir?" said stammering. He did not want his parents in the village to know the situation of being pregnant.
"We're getting married. So I need your parents' permission. Ask how the old man wants to be in the village." Again Melati gasped at Ardhi's words. That man was seriously asking her to get married.
Melati could think. Ardhi just married her siri only. Because it is impossible for people as successful as Ardhi to marry an ordinary girl like her.
"Koq is dumb? Where's the number, let me call?" Ardhi is already holding a cell phone, ready to contact Melati's parents.
"Oohh yes sir, just a minute." Melati also took her note, she wanted to make sure the phone number she gave Ardhi was correct. Although in fact he has a cell phone no his parents.
"It's sir." Giving a record of her parents phone number Melati, as well as the address of her parents in the village.
"Ehhmmmmm.... It's good that I spoke directly to your parents in the village. Or are you the first one to talk?" Ardhi felt afraid as well, to talk to his parents Melati. He was afraid of being wrong.
"I don't know." Answer Melati weakly. He immediately turned his face out the window. He also felt unable to talk to his parents in the village. His parents would have told him a lot of questions. He went to town looking for a job, and college didn't want to get married.
"Eehhmmmm ribet too huh? mr. Tara give me a week, to get everything ready. And it can't be finished in a week." Said Ardhi with a heavy sigh. The man glanced at Melati who was still faithful staring out the car window. The woman doesn't know what to say. So he chose to be quiet.
He also felt pity seeing Ardhi at this moment. The bruise under the eyes, as well as the wound on the corner of his lips are still clearly visible. But the man didn't feel it.
"What time you go home, I'll pick you up." Said Ardhi, Melati also did not press the door handle. And the woman turned to Ardhi who was also looking at her.
"Two o'clock in the afternoon, sir. I can go home by myself. No need to pick up." Politely said. Open the car door slowly. Melati felt depressed during the trip. He was still afraid of Ardhi. And they're in the same car.
"I picked you up at two o'clock here. Take good care of yourself. There's my son in your body." Nyut..... Ardhi's words made Melati sad. He remembered the events of that dark night.
Melati did not answer Ardhi's words. He stepped quickly into his campus building.
