Happy reading 😘😘

"Papa disagrees, Papa doesn't want you to marry that poor girl. You know how his life isn't, they're all short of it. I don't want to have a daughter-in-law and besan who will only trouble you in the future". Said Mr. Anthony in a high tone.

"True your dear father, you should think again if you are going to marry Marinka. Their families are way below us, dear".Madame Julia chimed.

" His company is nearing bankruptcy, in fact he has already lost the confidence of some of his investors. You're gonna have a hard time managing that. Unless Louis wants to sell us his shares and put them on Thomas's behalf. Then I'll happily marry you". Said Mr. Anthony arrogantly, making Marinka screech. Turns out this is the goal.

While Thomas just looked down without being able to say anything. Marinka, yes the girl is already shedding tears. How not, their relationship is said not for a moment. Three years they were together and Thomas's family was good all along. But everything changed when they asked for their blessing.

What's wrong, they've always been okay. "Uncle, Auntie, did I make a mistake?. We loved each other, even a while ago our uncle and aunt agreed to our relationship, if uncle wanted the company, Thomas could have it after marrying me. No need to separate us". Marinka raucous.

"You think you're that valuable, huh? Thomas would be in trouble if the company was still overshadowed by your papa's name. Unless it's officially left to Thomas. But unfortunately your father refused to do so. So then... I think it's enough up to here that I give you guys time to have fun. From tomorrow, go back to the life where you didn't know Thomas. In 2 weeks, Thomas will be married to Emily. His parents were willing to gladly hand over one of their companies to Thomas. And Thomas agreed to that".

Degs..

Marinka tries to find the truth in the man next to her. But not a single word came out of his lips.

"Thomas.. Could.. You explain it to me?". said Marinka while occasionally wiping her tears. Thomas breathed a heavy sigh.

" I'm sorry. "his words were stuck. Marinka smiled bitterly.

"If you knew it would end this way, why did you bring me here?". Marinka said with anger.

"I'm sorry... I think papa will understand our situation ". Thomas said, holding Marinka's hand.

" You've had enough of a chat in front of me. Make your decision, Thomas. Leave her and start over with Emily". Order of Mr. Anthony.

"papa I beg you.. Let us be together, about emily I'll take care of it". Thomas begged.

"Would never be. Did you forget our deal? ". Mr. Anthony said with great emphasis.

The accord? What is this deal?". Marinka.

"you promised you'd marry Emily, didn't you?". Continue Mr. Anthony. Thomas closed his eyes.

"Thomas.. Is it true uncle Anthony said, have you planned this? ". Marinka asked sadly.

" why are you asking again. It's all clear. Emily is so much more than you. Now go, don't waste our precious time". Miss Julia said cynically.

"You know, Thomas agreed to marry Emily to get a position in the family company. You should understand, by continuing with him you will hamper his career".Continue Mr. Anthony.

"Pa.... Don't be like this, I can't leave Marinka this easy anyway". Thomas tried to stop his papa.

" Why didn't you say it from the beginning Thomas?, if you're telling the truth I'll understand you before I already have deep feelings for you ". Marinka said as she wiped her fallen tears.

" Marinka's... It's not.. Reality is.......... ".

Marinka stared in disbelief, why is everything two-faced. Only for the sake of office Thomas willingly hurt her. He knows he's not worth Thomas's family. It started when Marinka's papa company went bankrupt.

" Thomas... Come on quickly end the moment too.Mama is tired, mama wants a quick break ". Miss Julia said.

Thomas looked at his lover's face with a difficult look.

" Marinka's.... L'm.... ". Thomas's voice was heavy. His eyes are getting hot. Unable to look into the woman's eyes.

" I understand Thomas ". Marinka said as she tidied up her bag, moving on to leave. He smiled bitterly.

" Thank you for everything Thomas, uncle and aunt. Thank you for being so kind to me all this time. From tonight I won't bother uncle's family again ". Marinka said half-vibratingly holding back her cries. This was indeed the second time Marinka lived, failed to build a relationship only because of the situation Marinka was considered less compatible with her lover's family.

" Marinka forgive me... ". One tear Thomas escaped. Thomas tried to reach Marinka's hand. But Marinka brushed it off slowly.

" It's okay Thomas, I get it. I know who I am, my family is not worth you. It's a lot different with Emily's family. He is also more worthy to accompany you in the company.

"I'm sorry to thank you for wasting your precious three years of time".

"Antar him Thomas... ". Madame Julia.

" No need aunty.I can do it myself, thank you very much". Marinka said and went half-run. Thomas chases until he gets out. Trying to reach Marinka's hand. But Marinka brushed it hard.

" Marinka I'm sorry, I can explain. I beg you ".

" explain..?by when? Now or tomorrow after I don't have a face like this?". Marinka's grieving, "You don't think I'm gonna put my face down, huh? You brought me here to see my uncle and aunt for blessing, but in reality you didn't want it.

"I want it, there's just something I can't tell you, I swear Marinka.

" Thomas bullshit, I can't believe it. You really hurt me this time. I hate you so much, you're swapping our relationship for office". Marinka then passed from the house.

****

The night showed at 11 p.m. But Marinka's still sitting on the lawn in the middle of town. There are still some people who pass by enjoying the night with friends and even their small family.

Seen a husband and wife with her son who Kira2 was 1 year old. They jokingly feed each other, and occasionally tease their child. That's so sweet.. Not feeling Marinka's lips smiling in the midst of bitterness.

"If only Thomas...". He shook his head as he rubbed the brazen tears falling on his cheeks.

"What I think, I should forget. I have to succeed, I have to prove I'm capable without him. I have to work hard to bring papa's company better known". His words were almost inaudible.

It was very painful and he really hated Thomas as well as his family. Who had played with his feelings, only because his company was in financial trouble.

"I'll prove I'm capable without you guys ".
