Forced Young Marriage

#49

Suddenly, because of Dicky's words just now, Merlin immediately withdrew from Dicky's embrace. He felt a little shocked by that remark.

"Don't do anything for me with that power you have, Dic. Because later on, I'm getting to be the talk of all the students at school."

"If so, I will make calculations on whoever makes you the talker. Whoever it is, they'll feel the consequences of daring to talk about you."

"Don't! Don't do anything else for me. I don't want you to do anything anymore. I don't want you to interfere in my personal affairs, Dic."

"Merlin's. Anyway, it's my fault. You were kicked out of school because of me. I did it, but you lost your big dream. You were forced to marry young with me, it was because of the great ideals you had, right? So .... "

"Dicky. What you are talking about is true. It's just, I can't be in school anymore right now. Because of this face, it was already very embarrassed to appear in public. I don't have the guts to go back to school. Even though I have great aspirations to be a successful person, this shame is very strong. I can't beat this shame even though I remember my promise to my late mother."

"Merlin's."

"Dic, don't force me. I can't."

"Well, if that's what you're saying. I won't force you anymore. I'll find you a teacher so you can study at home. That way, you will still be able to pursue your great ideals to become a successful person."

"no need. Because I don't want to add to my debt to you anymore. I have a lot of debt, Dicky. How can I pay off that debt if you keep adding to it again and again?"

"It's easy, Merlin. If you want your debt paid off, then you just need to stay by my side forever."

"What?"

"Eh .. does not exist. Forget what I said just now. Oh yeah, looks like, we need to get out of the car now. Because ... we've got it turned out." Dicky seemed nervous in his way of distracting Merlin from what he just said. To be honest, he was still unsure of what his heart wanted to say to Merlin.

In the Prasetya family mansion, everyone was losing Intan. Although she was not considered and her words were not heard anymore, but still, she was the great mistress of the family.

"Hows it? Have you found one, Intan?" bagas asked while sitting with an anxious face on the chair in his study.

"Sorry, big sir. We still can't trace where the madam is. Because the madam didn't take any software away with her."

"Dam. Where'd he go? From the cctv footage, he's been gone since this morning. But, until this afternoon, he still did not come home either. What's he really doing out there?"

"Take a look if he's still acting recklessly. I'll intervene myself punish him later."

"Sir, what if the madam kidnapped someone?"

"Cannot be. Who would want to kidnap an old woman like her? It's no use. What I'm afraid of now is that she wasn't kidnapped, but she did. Just be careful if what I fear turns out to be proven. I'll make him regret it later."

Two days passed. Dicky seems to have managed to return Merlin to his former nature. The woman is seen again excited about the day after Dicky's painstaking pleasure in various ways.

During those two days, Dicky decides to stay home with Merlin. Because he felt, Merlin needed him the most. Although Merlin always drove himself away to stay away and not keep at home. But Dicky didn't care at all about Merlin's treatment.

"I'm not going anywhere. Because of this, our house." That was Dicky's answer when Merlin kicked him out of school.

Entering the third day, Merlin had completely forgotten about the trouble he was having. He even looked even more excited now.

"Hm ... What do you say? Oh yeah, didn't you just talk about that?"

"I mean, I want to talk to you seriously."

"Lah, just talk. How bothered?"

"I think I'd prefer us a few days ago, Lin. More .... "

"More what? He said he wanted to talk seriously. Uh, even talking about unimportant things."

"Yes-yes, miss Merlin. I'll talk now. Listen up!"

"From now on, Bambang. You are the slow one. Don't talk directly to the point."

"Hm .... " Dicky was breathing rough from annoyance. But, that was Merlin's real attitude. Which makes him feel happy when he is together.

"Lin, I want to say, that I've already found you the best teacher so you can study at home. This teacher is a famous teacher in this city. He's a graduate of undergraduate education abroad. The lessons he taught were the same as the lessons in school. And the best news is, you'll get the same graduation certificate that students who go to school every day get."

"Hows it? You're happy, aren't you, you got this happy news? Because that way, you will be able to pursue the ideals that you have, Merlin."

Merlin did not answer. He looked at Dicky's face. The clear eyes looked teary, but Merlin could still hold them back from spilling water.

"Merlin's. You're not happy?" ask Dicky carefully.

"No. Not not unhappy. But ... I can't accept kindness from you anymore. You're responsible I live with everything I have right now it's hard more than enough. How can I get anything bigger than you, Dic? I can't."

"Don't think about it, Merlin. Because everything I give, it's my responsibility to you. We are ...." Dicky hung up his sentence. With a faint look, he looked at the Merlin who was before him.

"What?" Merlin seemed impatient to listen to the connection of the word Dicky hung. Although in fact, he already knew what the connection of the word was.

"Yes we are su .... "

Still can't relate to the word he hanged earlier. Because now, the sound of the phone that Dicky has becomes a barrier from the words that Dicky will say.

"Wait a minute. I answered the call from papa first."

"Hello, Pa. What's up?"

"Dic, your mama's missing. He had not been home for three days without news, nor did he know where he was."

"What's? Mama's missing? How can?"

"Of course you can. Because your mom's a stubborn woman."

"He's not my mama. She's papa's wife. It's only natural that he's stubborn."
