Merlin came, and suddenly put a small touch on Dicky's shoulder. It made Dicky feel shocked because his mind wandered out of nowhere just now.
"Lho, how shocked are you, brother? Mm ... You were daydreaming just now? Hayo ... daydreaming about what? Tell me! What were you thinking just now to the point of being shocked when I touched."
"Darling, it was you who suddenly made me feel shocked, you know?"
"really? No lie?"
"Okay, I know I can't lie to you. I was thinking about Tora. They have only been engaged for two days, but they are married now. Isn't that too fast? Anyway, I know that Tora just wants to use Nining. He's not serious about the engagement."
"You ... Are you worried about Nining's condition?"
The question filled with an aura of jealousy made Dicky feel uneasy. Immediately he pulled Merlin's body for her to carry into his arms.
"It's still jealous. I have no more taste for Nining. Just talking out of curiosity. Why should I think too much?" Dicky pinches Merlin's nose.
"Partially, if I had a taste, it wouldn't have come and solved the problem that night, would it? You also know how I feel about you, baby. No more jealousy. Should instill mutual trust in our relationship now."
"Yes, I know that you don't have any feelings for your ex-boyfriend. I'm just being nosy. That's how you take it seriously."
"How not to be serious, dear. Your face makes me feel scared, you know? Yes, even though I'm not the kind of man who's afraid of a wife. But at the very least, that affection must also be guarded."
"Are you sure you're not a man who's afraid of a wife, brother?"
"of course. I am not a man who is afraid of his wife. But, I'm from the class of men who love wives."
"Say you're snoring. Oh yeah, how's papa doing now huh? Is he still undergoing further investigation?"
"Yes. He is still undergoing further investigation. We'll be notified when we're done with the investigation."
Merlin fell silent. He thought about what had happened two days ago. So many things that he passed through in such a short time. That night she attended a manta engagement party. During the afternoon, police arrested his stepmother and father on charges of premeditated murder.
His father was so angry that he cursed himself.
"Basic child is ungrateful. Even though you're my real son, but I've never liked you. Because you were born to a woman I don't like."
From there Merlin knew why he hadn't been his dear papa all this time. Apparently, his father did not like his late mother. The marriage that began from an arranged marriage by both parents, it holds a deep hatred for the father. But, because of the inheritance, the papa can only play with pretend good. Until the right moment comes.
It's him, Jenny. Mita's son who has been Bondan's stepson. It turns out, she's the biological child they kept secret because they were afraid that wealth could not be inherited because Jenny was a fatal mistake due to being born out of wedlock.
Merlin was stunned in disbelief at all of that reality. He was completely shocked when he knew all the big secrets. But, he can't do anything. I can only watch everything that has happened.
While Jenny. The mental blow that came over and over again was increasingly unable to accept with his common sense. He was getting depressed and could not control himself anymore now.
Jenny begins to rage after the arrest of her parents. He started hurting everyone he saw. Because of that, the neighbors don't want Jenny around them. And in the end, having no other choice, Jenny must be put in a mental hospital after one day arresting her mom and dad.
A gentle touch resuscitated Merlin from his daydream. He turned to the side to look at Dicky who was looking at him affectionately.
"Now, what are you thinking?" dicky asked as he offered his own thin smile.
"none. Just come to think about what Dicky's sister thinks. Everything we've been through in this short period of time feels like a dream. I also feel inexhaustible with all this."
"Here, don't think too much. In five days, our wedding will be held. You do not have to be tired of thinking about what we have passed before. Because after the wedding party is over, we will go on vacation to the country you really want to go to. And, we'll settle there. As you dream."
"What's? We're gonna settle abroad?"
Merlin's shocked not a bitch. He woke up from his seat when he heard Dicky's words just now.
"of course. We will start our new life abroad. By moving abroad, we will forget the problems that have happened here. Hows it? Do you agree with this idea, Lin?"
Merlin did not answer. He kept silent as he looked into Dicky's eyes hoping for approval from him.
"Hows it? Do you mind? If you don't want to, then I won't force."
"No. I don't want to, brother. Just a little surprised. Maybe what Dicky said is true. We have to get out of here and start living somewhere else. That way, we'll feel happier."
"You agree?" dicky asked with a very happy face.
"of course. I concur. In fact, I totally agree."
Because of that happiness, Dicky immediately pulled Merlin into his arms. They closed their eyes to release the heavy burden that was in their hearts.
Now, their hope is to lead a new, better life in a new place. Forgetting all the problems they had gone through before.
