enquiries.

Andin, Nuri and Bobi are now with Dea . They are eager to ask Dea 1000 questions about the match.

" what's the reason you accepted the match.. ? "

Dea did not answer, but she cried.

" De ko you even cry. . . does anyone mean you . ? " ask Andin curiously

Dea just shook her head.

" why did you accept the match, you know that De . . . You want to be the next victim. . ? " ask Andin back.

" there are many reasons why I would accept this match. "

"what Dea reason . . we know you like Risky. "say Nuri full of affirmation.

" i hate Risky... ! this matchmaking is my father's last dream, my mother and Ivan so expect me to replace the match. .and marry Jodi. . " said Dea who now wipes away her tears.

" then Risky . . ? " ask Andin.

"i'll forget it . " said Dea firmly . he tried to convince himself that his feelings for Risky were wrong.

" why should I forget . . ? " listen to me De , before it is too late to cancel everything." said Andin full of affirmation.Dea was silent for a moment.

" there is no way Din. . My family must be disappointed.if I arrive I cancel the match." said Dea.ia did not want to see her family disappointed and embarrassed.

" unfortunately you are willing to sacrifice your happiness . . .more so just for a Jodi . " said Andin with a rather high tone.

" i'm willing . I'm sincere if everything is happy with my sacrifice.. "

" i don't understand your way of thinking De. . I'd say the same Ivan if you like Risky. " andin said full of affirmation he did not want that this friend should be a victim of his toy Jodi.

" don't please ..don't talk about this issue with anyone.You know at first I'd love to refuse .but when I heard myself from Risky that he never fell in love .. I'm sure he doesn't love me and above all my parents' wishes . . I can't refuse him " Dea said.

" why is it impossible. . ? " Risky didn't say he didn't like you... ? "

" you know Risky said he doesn't love you. .. Listen Dea sometimes makes some people express his feelings not necessarily in words... "

" i have no other choice please understand me . " said Dea pleading.all fell silent and hugged Dea immediately.

" whatever your decision .we'll always do'ain you . I hope you're always happy." and honestly they don't want Dea to get engaged with Jodi much less get married with her.

the day passed just like that .until the engagement event arrived.Dea just sat in his room while looking at his picture with Risky at graduation.

" i love you ki. . but today I will be engaged to someone else.so very painful .if god can unite us surely I am the happiest person in the world. . but reality says otherwise, I will marry with Jodi my family's choice.I am willing to sacrifice my happiness for their smile hopefully my sacrifice is not in vain .and they can be happy." .muttered Dea inwardly while wiping away her tears.
