Everyone agreed with what Irwan's father said, but not for Nisa who was thinking how to deal with all this.
Mona who had been silent in that place glanced at Nisa with annoyance, she did not like that her stepson was acting pretentious in front of a lot of people.
"alright. Then tonight we just set a date for Nolan and Nisa's engagement and wedding."
Nisa exhaled a rough breath while chuckling softly upon hearing Nolan's parents' words. How could she possibly marry Nolan? while he was not close or had feelings for the man.
"How about if we have her engagement next month, right next month is Nolan's birthday" Bram suggested.
Irwan's father nodded his head. "That's great, Bram. We can hold-"
"I'm sorry I interrupted your speech, Dad," Nisa's cut quickly made everyone turn to look at her. "But, don't you feel like you have to ask the question first? Me for example?" he looked at the father sharply.
"Where is your manners, Nisa? Why are you interrupting the old man's words?" mona said as if she was reminding the girl, but she was happy if there was a commotion between Nisa and all of them.
"No papa, Mona. What Nisa said was true. So, what do you think, Nisa?" riri asked with a sincere smile.
Irwan's father felt uneasy and uncomfortable when he saw the look on Nisa's face, he thought that her son would definitely make a fuss.
"I'd like to apologize to Om and Aunt, as well as Nolan."
"Sina!" warning from Irwan.
Nisa glanced for a moment at the father upon hearing the middle-aged man's call, but she had no intention of responding to his call.
"I'm happy to be married and to be a daughter-in-law in your family. But sorry, I had absolutely no feelings for Nolan." Nisa's gaze fell on Nolan who was sitting right in front of her.
"What does that mean, Nisa? Are you refusing this marriage?" ask Bram.
"Be"
"Wait a minute, Bram. I can-"
"Yes, Om Bram. I don't want to marry Nolan."
Irwan's father looked at Nisa sharply. Her jaw hardened with what the girl was saying, and she grew even more emotional when she saw Nisa smiling thinly at him.
"How is it possible? Didn't you, yourself, tell your father if he's willing to marry Nolan?"
Nisa shook her head. "I never said that, Om. Even from the beginning I refused this match."
"Sina!" Irwan's father stared intently at Nisa to stop the girl's speech, but again Nisa did not care at all.
"I apologize once again,
"Enough, Nisa!" snapped Irwan's father in a stifled voice, his hand was already about to pull Nisa's hand, but he still held back in front of the Nolan family.
"Why, Nisa? Why don't you like me?" asked Nolan sharply.
Nisa immediately brushed off the man's hand. "Follow me, we have to talk 4 points." he turned around and walked slowly out of the house, of course, followed by Nolan.
After arriving outside the house, Nolan again asked why Nisa did not want to marry him.
"Sorry, Nolan. Like I said, I have absolutely no feelings for you. So, there's no way we're getting married."
"That feeling will exist as time goes on, Nisa. And yes, we rarely spend time together. Maybe if we keep together, you'll love me."
Nisa smiled when she heard what Nolan said. "But it's still possible, isn't it, Nolan? What if I still can't love you? I can't! After all, there is someone whose presence is currently filling my mind" Nisa said. She didn't want to get married this way.
"Huh, I guessed." Nolan laughed sinisterly making Nisa frown. "I know that this is all for you, Nisa. The fact is you like other men. Was he the one who drove you?"
Nisa immediately shook her head. "No. But whoever I like, it has nothing to do with you, Nolan."
"There is, of course, Nisa. You're my future wife, there's no way I'll just shut up when you like someone else!" nolan's snapping made Nisa's body flinch in shock.
"I'm not your future wife, because I didn't agree to an arranged marriage between us in the first place. So sorry, please don't bother me anymore." Nisa immediately turned around and went back inside the house, leaving Nolan full of emotion in that place.
"You see, Nisa. I won't let you be with that man!" Nolan clenched his hands full of emotion.
Nisa did not care about everything that happened. He kept walking inside the house with the pain in his leg.
Irwan's father, who was trying to convince Nolan's family that what Nisa said was wrong, failed. Bram and his wife do not want Nisa to marry Nolan because of her will, and not of her own accord.
"I'm sorry, Irwan." said Bram to make Irwan feel bad.
"Please think again, Bram. Nisa is not serious about what she says, maybe she is feeling pressured by work so say things like that" said Irwan's father, he does not want this matchmaking to fail.
"Already, Irwan. We understand exactly what Nisa said earlier. So, we better cancel all this before it's too late." Bram patted Irwan's father on the shoulder and took his wife to leave the house.
Irwan's father could not say anything more seeing their departure. "You're really outrageous, Nisa! I just wanted to give you the best, but you destroyed it."
