"So Miss offered the man a marriage contract?" asked Viola who looked very surprised. It turns out his hunch was right.
"Yes, I want to get married and have children but I don't want to fall in love let alone live with a man for life. You know this is all for the sake of the legacy that I have to get," said Elisha then re-awakened his body on the back of the chair.
"But Miss does Miss already know the origin, the seedlings bebet weight of the man, you are the son of the noble heir to the sole heir of EA group, besides the land is worth billions, the company will lose big," Viola.
"Hey, you know how the file you gave me was already recorded in her data. After all he looks physically and spiritually healthy .. yes and also he is quite handsome, at least does not damage the offspring. This is my company, so I'll take care of everything you take it easy" explained Elisa.
"Are you sure you can get married without feeling involved? Because usually when people decide to connect they will depend on each other," said Viola hesitated. Either get the courage from where he so many questions like this.
"What a thing! .. You're this, this is just a symbiotic relationship of mutualism. We are mutually beneficial. She may have my body when the marriage takes place, but not my heart .. Yes, I guarantee it because I've witnessed for myself how a marriage based on love ends tragically."
Viola could no longer speak, he just stared at the beautiful face that now looked sad. He knew from the Mother that Elisha had a severe childhood trauma, because the betrayal of the Papa made Elisha's mother commit suicide.

Reynald continued to walk, down the sidewalk of the road that seemed deserted this afternoon. His mind was completely muddled, Elisha's words were still ringing, like a time bomb ready to explode at any time, how not was he only given time to think until tomorrow afternoon. "Damn!" Reynald kicked the soda can in front of him as if venting his anger.
His steps stopped when he arrived at a bus stop. He sat there looking at the vehicle passing in front of him. Somehow he suddenly remembered Sofia, the woman he had never been able to reach even though they often spent time together. Reynald grabbed his phone that was in his pants pocket, his forehead frowning at the sight of so many messages. Without a second thought he opened the messages sent by his friends.
[Rey, Crazy! sofi wants to marry you? I guess he's the same as you.]
[Sofia is engaged today, you really didn't come Rey? Alumni teams in nungguin nih.]
[Bro, you're patient huh. Now the cave at Sofi's house she's the same fiancee Diki, our friend High School first.]
[Rey you weren't invited to Sofi's show?]
Reynald's disbelief when reading messages sent by his High School friends. He stood up from where he was sitting and immediately ran towards an ojek base not far from the stop. "My anterine sis to xx street, spit yes sir." Reynald immediately put on a helmet and sat in the back.
Like in the sky overwrite many times, today the universe seems not to let him breathe a sigh of relief even for a moment. Sofia is not his girlfriend, but he still survives with love clapping one hand. Since High School they are always together, even though he knows Sofia will never respond to the feelings of someone who is not like her. He worked hard to succeed, but it was too late because now the love he dreamed of had been mastered by others.
**
About twenty minutes, he arrived in front of the fence of the luxurious house owned by the Sofia family, the atmosphere was already quiet. He paid the fare and then stepped his feet near the fence. His eyes were round when he saw Sofia hugging him on the porch with a man who was familiar to him. Yeah, that guy was their friend too.
Even for a man as fresh as Reynald can collapse too if the test lunge many times. The sky that had been dark since had started to rain, drop by drop rain water soaked the body of a young man who had just gone through the unluckiest day for him. Under the rain he continued to step even though limping.
Reynald stopped his steps when he reached a park near Sofia's house. A place where they often meet. Reynald looked forward, although the sound of the rain spatter dominated, but his mind was now more crowded, sometimes he grumbled because he could not go back to the mass at least to rotate the plot of his love story.
It turns out that both then and now, I was just a figure in your love story and all those thick-wagging men. The wheel kept turning, but I was still at the same point as you went further and let me slump by myself, from today I will go out and escape from your shadow, inner Reynald.

The night grew darker, Reynald finally reached Ruko on foot. Her clothes were moist and her eyes were puffy. He approached Jack who was cleaning things because soon the workshop will close. "Where's Melvin?"
Hearing that voice, Jack immediately turned around, he was shocked to see the condition of the theme that was already like a rat that was splashed in a got. "Rey you're from anywhere, why are you wet like this ... Melvin's asleep. I've whistled his wound, he'll be fine."
Reynald tried to smile and pat Jack on the shoulder. "Thank you Jack, tomorrow the workshop will be closed temporarily so you can rest first."
"Rey ... will this shophouse really be confiscated?"
Reynald was again stunned, now not only Melvin who depends on him but Jack as well. At least even if Sofia had completely left her side, she would not let her friend and sister suffer "Take it easy, this shophouse will still be ours, go home and rest."
Just as Reynald was about to step in, Jack suddenly prevented it by pulling Reynald's hand. "Rey, actually Sofia was here yesterday when you weren't around. She brought her engagement invitation but you weren't there. I can't bear the invitation to you Rey, I know you're thinking a lot."
"It's okay, I already know and I was just there .. Now he really belongs to someone else." Reynald smiled back as if to say he was fine. "You go home, I want to rest too." He continued his steps inside.
Jack could only stare at Reynald's passing, knowing that his friend was not doing well. "Why do you always try hard in front of me and Melvin. Since childhood you have gone through many trials of life even now."
**
Slowly Reynald opened the door to his sister's room. The room was only illuminated by a sleeping lamp on the left side of the bed. He sat on the floor looking at Melvin's face from the dim light of a sleeping lamp. Without realizing it his tears flowed back in the corner of his eyes, as he saw the swollen face of his sister.
Forgive brother for not being able to protect you well Vin. From now on big brother will try harder and won't let you act like it was last noon. You have to be successful and as high school as possible, you have to be the pride of our family. Father, Mother I will fulfill my promise, Inner Reynald.
