I'm also giving up

Nayara Syila

My name is Nayara Syila, I used to be called Naya by my two people, no exception for someone. I am now twenty-two years old, a few months ago I just graduated and finished my last education at one of the Universities in the city where I live today.

I am a very lucky child to have been born to parents who love me very much. Maybe because I'm the only son of Dad and Mom. So that they love me so much. Despite that, Dad always taught me not to be spoiled. Dad always said to be a good person, responsible, and should be able to respect and appreciate others. You cannot look down on anyone. Because according to Dad, all humans are the same. There are so many lessons I learned from both my parents. And I'm very proud to have both great parents like them.

Yes, because Mom and Dad are very valuable people in my life.

Since I love them both so much, I can't refuse when they want to introduce me to someone. A man they knew as the son of a father's best friend.

At first I was surprised when Dad wanted to match me with a man I didn't know at all. I want to refuse, I want to tell them that I don't want to be matched. But I couldn't do anything about it because my Dad and my mom asked in person.

"Ra .. Would you two meet first?" I looked at Father who was now sitting opposite me."If you've met, I won't insist if you really refuse this match."

I looked at Mom, with Mom looking at me too. Then she smiled while holding my hand gently.

"Dad alike I won't force you if you mind, baby." He said with a smile.

"Who is Dad?" Ask Dad. I wonder why the two of them would love to match me to that man.

"His name is Sebastian Alamsyah, he's Dad's best friend's son." He took a breath before opening his voice again. "A few weeks ago I met Adi by accident. We told a lot of stories at length. Until finally, I told Adi about you. As soon as Adi sees your photo in Dad's phone, Adi is so interested in you. And she directly expressed her desire to match her son to you."

"Why is it that fast, Dad? what if the man refuses to meet me?"

He smiled as he sipped his coffee slowly. "Now do you yourself want to not meet Tian? as for Tian, it's an easy matter." He said again while putting his cup back on the table.

I was silent for a moment, my lips felt faint to say that I actually refused.

I'm not going to blame Mom and Dad for what happened a few years ago. Maybe they were both heartbroken when they saw the only daughter was hurt. I was angry, upset and disappointed that Father and Mother forbade me to marry my lover-at that time. I would have thought badly of my own parents if the truth had not been revealed.

Where at that time I was so devastated, hurt and certainly very hurt when I found out that the man I was so proud of all this time, as soon as I loved her and a few more months would officially become a husband, it turned out to have betrayed me. I heard and saw firsthand how he admitted his own mistake of making a grave mistake. An impossible mistake for me to forgive in an instant.

I backed out, and cancelled my own wedding plans. I released the man to the woman who is currently pregnant with her child. His own flesh. Although Arga, had knelt down and explained all the events that made the woman pregnant out of her control, but my decision was unanimous.

I will not continue this marriage.

I cried and apologized to Father and Mother for my outrageous attitude towards them both. If only I would listen to the reasons for those who forbid to marry Arga from long ago, maybe the story wouldn't be like this. Apparently, there are other reasons that make both my parents do not approve of our relationship, the reasons that I always reject raw.

Remembering the incident, I closed my eyes tightly. The promise to always love and love me is only a promise. The dream and all the plans for the two of us to get married were lost instantly because of a mistake made by him himself.

Honestly, I really loved Arga back then.

But the circumstances that make me have to release him immediately, I alone have to make the man responsible for his own mistakes.

And on the very day that I and Arga were supposed to marry, the bride was not me, but another woman who had now officially become the wife of an Arga Devano, the man who should have married me.

...******...

Two weeks later, I agreed to Dad and Mom's invitation to dinner with her friend's family. His name is Adi Putra Alamsyah and Maya Septa, they are both Father and Mother of the man he said he would introduce to me.

The meeting happened, and I saw the man myself. The first impression when I saw him was .. The man was so cold. Behind his charm and handsome face, there was a cold aura that was so obvious. I gulped my saliva with great difficulty as the dark eyes of the man continued to sharply highlight me. And it seemed that the man was not interested in this meeting at all.

Ah .. I think I also want to go and avoid that man's gaze.

"How about Tian, Naya is pretty, right?" luckily, hearing the voice from his father, Tian immediately turned his eyes away. And I finally can breathe.

"Yes, it seems like Mama likes Naya too." Said the middle-aged woman who still looked very beautiful and classy. Who else if not Maya Septa, her own mother.

The man did not answer or let out his voice in the slightest, he looked back at me with a very annoying look. And it didn't take long for me to understand that the man was looking at me lightly.

"Can I talk to him for a second?" Suddenly the voice was heard, a voice that sounded very firm and a little raucous.

After all allowed, then inevitably I followed him. Although it feels very reluctant to talk to polar men like it.

"What's wrong?" I asked after the two of us got to the park behind this restaurant.

"I don't love you and I like you either." Without further ado the man said it. "But I will marry you." Because there is a promise he must keep.

Promise to marry the woman of his father's choice, and his promise to someone.

A few days ago, when the father asked him to marry a woman he did not know at all, Tian refused loudly, the man was angry even to the point of making his father's heart disease relapse.

And he could do nothing more when he saw his father lying weak. Although hard, but Tian loved his father very much. In the end Tian lost, he complied and agreed to marry his father's choice.
