Innocence Love's

Prologues

"I promise you Risa!!" Rega's unequivocal voice convinces Clarisa to accept a job offer in the city.

"You're definitely gonna be a secretary in the office I work in".

"Can I really work in your office?". Enthusiastic Risa asked just to convince herself.

"Of course Risa baby!". The meaningful grin of Rega is clearly drawn from his voice at the other end. I don't know what he's planning.

"But...". Continue Rega.

"There are conditions!!". His voice sounds serious.

"A..what?" the question is a little hesitant but still enthusiastic impatiently want to immediately realize his dream of becoming an office employee.

"You should marry me Risa".

Silent for a while, no response whatsoever received Rega.

"Risa? did you hear me?".

still silent.

With a slight cry Rega went back to calling his name

"Rise!".

"Can you repeat your words Rega?!". Finally Risa replied with a slightly taut voice.

"Yes as you heard", he replied casually. "You must be my wife!!".

"No!!!". Risa's voice began to gasp furiously.

"Surely that will never happen!!!". Risa slammed the phone handle firmly as an overflow of her vexation.

How could he possibly marry Rega. For him Rega was the striped-nose man he had once known. Risa dares to connect with Rega just because of work.

Rega is one of his teenage playmates in the small town where they live. During the play with Rega, Risa often finds him changing lovers. Of his many lovers, no one has survived a long relationship with Rega.

According to Risa, Rega's eyes on women are always sickening for her, like there is a dirty thing that comes from that view, it makes Risa always keep her distance from Rega.

But during playing with Risa, Rega never once tried to tease him. Even in the eyes of Risa's father and mother, Rega was a kind man, clever and polite, let alone looking at the current Rega status that had been established, even more so, working in a big city and in a rich and well-known company.

Until one day Risa's father tried to match them, but of course Risa refused.

Rega's father and Risa's father are good friends, perhaps that's why they tried to be betrothed, and Rega never dared to tease him. But this time it was different, somehow Rega started to be presumptuous of him.

"What happened son, why get angry?". From the corner of the living room measuring 6 by 6 with several jars and buvet adorning, appeared Risa's father carrying a small paper that looks like a business card.

"There's no father". Risa tried to switch her expression because she did not want her father to know who she was talking to on the phone.

"Whose name card did you hold?". While glancing and frowning Risa tried to read the card from afar even though she knew it was in vain.

"Yesterday I met with om Kalo and we talked a lot". Risa's father started to look very serious about calling that name, not as usual. Same with Risa. Hearing the name made his sense of regret that had almost disappeared, back again.

Om Kalo is the father of Rega. Rega Putra Kalo, son of Erwin Kalo, a retired civil servant.

"Father and mother will match you to Rega". His son's eyes were deep.

Risa just fell silent. The words that Risa had always avoided from her parents had to be heard again. Things he will always refuse but never be able to say.

Risa is a submissive child since long ago. Never once opposed to all the kendang his parents. But Risa always needs a reason from all her father's decisions.

"why father?". Ask with your eyes.

"I.". his voice was stuck in his throat.

"I.. don't like Rega's father.he...". Of course he could not continue his sentence and gave a reason why he did not like Rega. For his parents Rega was the perfect man.

"Rega is the perfect man for you son".

"His father said you'd have a good job in his office after getting married to Rega, as you've dreamed so far".

"Rega also had a phone call with dad, he's a good guy, he'll give you everything you want". While smiling happily his father was consumed by the lure promised Rega.

"But dad, I really don't like Rega." A single tear began to gush from the end of his eyes.

"Yes he's an established man and..." Risa started to get excited.

"Risa dear." Call dad.

"Your father and mother want you to be happy, and Rega's family is very close to us." His father approached Risa and stroked her head.

Risa is still as happy as she is.

"Dad couldn't have told you to marry Rega if you didn't really know Rega and her family."

"But dad..." Her tears kept flowing.

"If you want your father and mother to be happy, marry Rega."

Risa was crying more and more as she could not resist the turmoil of her heart's sadness.

From the back, his mother could only stare and cry, not daring to come closer just to incline her son's heart.

His mother did not want to force the will on Risa, but whatever the decision of his father was an order.

Risa's crying lasted quite a long time.

Risa could not say anything more if her father had decided.

And if this would make her father and mother happy with all the shadows of a happy life that her only daughter would have.

There was nothing he could do but accept and try to instill positive thoughts that the former Rega was different from the present Rega. Maybe he changed, he thought at the time. But in her small heart of course Risa still refused hard to marry Rega, maybe she could make this marriage would never happen. All she had to do now was accept and carry out her father's orders, and somehow Risa would make an effort.

After Risa's cries began to subside, her father chimed again.

"Dad bought you a bus ticket, get ready."

Risa looked at her father.

"Does it have to be this fast, Dad?" Cry back.

"Dear, mom and dad want you to be happy soon." Firmly father.

"Be with Rega first, draw near to him." Father's orders.

"But dad..."

"Here come, son, it's for your happiness." His father stroked Risa's head and left her.

Tears of Risa kept flowing.

"Son." Her mother approached, sitting beside Risa hugging her body that was wet with tears.

"Mom can't do anything for you." They cry together.

Risa was unable to say anything, only being able to tightly hug her mother and cry on her shoulders.

"Take it this is your chance to work in the big city, son." Entertain mom.

Risa was still unable to say.

"Say people, in big cities there are many kinds of delicious food." Still trying to comfort Risa.

"But mom, I don't like Rega." The crying broke again.

"Your mother understands son, but I can't help anything, can only pray for you, even comfort you can't." her mother cried sobbing again.

Risa felt even sad to see her mother cry.

With a strong effort, Risa restored all the strength of her heart, stopping her sadness and tears.

"Mom, I'm sorry." She wiped her own tears, then wiped her mother's tears.

"For my mother's sake, I'll be strong, I'll go through this." She hugged her mother tightly, strengthening herself and her mother.

"I promise I'll be happy." Promise to himself and his mother.
