Four Sides of Heart

"Nina doesn't want me! Nina doesn't want me!"
An angry scream from her eldest daughter's room, made Shanty panic and immediately opened the room door. He was shocked when he found Nina's room that was already in a mess like a ship breaking. While Nina was already sitting desperately on the floor while crying.
"Nina you why, baby?" Shanty approaches Nina, worried about her son's condition.
"Moeuu. I thought I just called Nina," Nina said, "She said she wanted to cancel our engagement," she cried again sadly, "She said she doesn't love me." Nina hugged her mother to pour all her heartache and sorrow.
Shanty snarled, "Lack of the kid. How dare he treat you like this," he was angry, "Mother would love your father to deal with the Wicaksana family."
Nina was still crying.
"No matter if the engagement and the marriage are annulled, your Father will make the Wicaksana family suffer a great loss to avenge your heartache" Shanty promised, but Nina's tears grew louder.
He shook his head hard. "No. Nina doesn't want to be canceled. Nina's in love with Mas Sangkana, don't get canceled ma'am."
"But na, she doesn't love you. There are still a lot of good men out there" Shanty said. She doesn't want her son to be stuck in a marital relationship with the same one-sided love she had.
"No mau! Nina loves him the same way Mas Sangka! Nina doesn't want anyone else, Nina wants to marry Mas Sangka."
Shanty looked at his daughter with sad and regretful eyes. Is this karma? thought. And then the angry eyes of a teenager in a high school uniform who said the phrase: "I swear. I'm going to make your lives as ruined as my life and Mama's. If you hadn't caught up with my mama--, I would have made your son suffer the same fate as my mama."-crossed in Shanty's memory. He shuddered in fear.
'No, don't let Leah's oath happen to Nina. I will make sure that my children will lead a happy and fulfilling life, Shanty said.
She then told Nina, "Mother will ask your Father to pressure the Wicaksana company, threatening them not to call off the engagement" Shanty promised.
"Certainly Ma'am?" Tanya Nina stopped crying.
"Yes right."
Nina then hugged her mother happily.

"If that kid doesn't like Nina, why don't you just cancel the match?"
"Nina loves him, sir."
"You know your son, one-sided love can't make a happy household."
Shanty sighed at her husband's cold tone, but she dared neither get emotional nor get out of control in front of Adam.
"Nina could be happy. So please sir, help Nina press the Wicaksana family company to think she wants to marry Nina" Shanty said.
Adam was silent. He then said: "You and your son are both stubborn." Without giving a definite answer, whether or not he would help Nina.

Wearing torn black jeans on the knees and a hoodie that was also black, Taliyah who stood on top of an empty building, said, grinning at the information conveyed by the man who also looked the same as him.
"So Bratasena wants to pressure the Wicaksana company to make the match?"
"Sir Adam has not given a definite answer, but Ms. Shanty has started using the name Mr. Adam, to break the chain of several suppliers of Wicaksana company," explained the man.
Taliyah nodded. "good. That's what I was waiting for," He then turned to the man and said, "Go back to Bratasena's family, I'll call you when everything is ready."
"Well," the man nodded then left Taliyah alone on the roof of the building.
Taliyah looked at the scene in front of her with a blank look before muttering: "Papa, I'll be home soon."
