Rinjani

"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. Papa does not want to have a daughter-in-law and besan that will only trouble you in the future,” Adyaksa said in a high tone.

"True your papa, honey. You better think again if you're going to marry Rinjani. Their family is far below us, Darling” Lady Rita chimed in. From the beginning, Rita never liked the relationship between Rinjani and Mada, her son. But it looks like his son is really dead in love. To the extent that Mada no longer heard the prohibition of his parents.

"His company is nearing bankruptcy, even he has lost the confidence of some of his investors. You're gonna have a hard time managing that. Unless Zein wants to sell us his shares and name the company on your behalf. So I'm happy to marry you,” said Adyaksa haughty, making Rinjani grim. Turns out this is the goal. Inviting Rinjani here is not just to talk about

While Mada just lowered his head without being able to say anything. Rinjani, yes the girl is already shedding tears. How not, their relationship is said not for a moment. Three years they were together and Mada's family was good all this time. But everything changed when they stayed one step away.

What's wrong, they've always been okay. "Om Ady, Aunt Rita, did I make a mistake? We love each other, even some time ago, om same aunt has also agreed to our relationship, if om want the company, Mada can have it after marrying me. No need to separate us like this. The wedding is only a few days away and this is not funny,” said Rinjani bitterly. Because in the end, all his struggles seemed to be in vain.

"Aren't you that valuable, Rinjani? Mada will be in trouble if the company is still overshadowed by your papa's name. Unless it's officially handed over to Mada. But unfortunately papa you refused to. So then... I think it's enough up to here that I give you guys time to have fun. From tomorrow return to a life where you do not know Mada. In two weeks, Mada will be married to Sasti. Her parents were willing to happily hand over one of their companies to Mada, and Mada seemed to also know what she needed for the future. Isn't that right, Son?” adyaksa said smiling sideways as if strengthening his speech.

Degs..

Rinjani tries to find the truth in the man next to her. But not a single word came out of his lips. Mada was silent without any explanation.

"Mada..Can you explain that?" rinjani said as she occasionally blinked her hot eyes. Rinjani really hated being in a situation where she looked so weak. Mada breathed a heavy sigh.

" I'm sorry Rinjani. Rinjani smiled bitterly.

"If from the beginning you are not sure about our relationship, why do you dare to promise marriage to papa?”

"I'm sorry... I think papa will understand our situation and papa you can understand also as time goes on. But it turns out papa you refuse to cooperate with the company,” Mada said while holding Marinka's hand.

"You've had enough of the drama in front of me. Hurry up and make your decision, Mada . Leave him and start over with Sasti. Life is not about feelings. Use your logic as well," said Adyaksa haughty.

"Pa, this is too sudden, the wedding is just a few days away. How does Rinjani and her family feel?” mada was upset. For a long time, his parents forced anything on him. But, Mada was really upset that even if the marriage business, they still interfered.

"Don't deviate from the original plan! We are in a relationship to strengthen our company, our future. And you've agreed to recite papa, that's if you forget!”

The accord? What is this deal? Rinjani was already completely dizzy thinking about everything that was before her.

"You promised to marry Sasti, didn't you?" adyaksa. Moments later Mada closed her eyes. Mada almost forgot about it.

"That's true? You promised to marry two women at once? You are not sane like it is,” said Rinjani laughed laughingly at her stupidity all this time.

"Why ask again? It's all clear. Sasti is much more than you in any way. Now go, don't waste time,” said Mrs Rita cynically. From the beginning, the tall woman never liked Rinjani. It's just that, for the sake of a profit, Rita must be willing to pretend to be good to Rinjani.

"You know? Mada has agreed to marry Sasti in order to gain a position in the family company. You should understand, by continuing with him you will hinder his career. Mada had to compete with her other cousins to look more competent. This kind of business marriage is very necessary in the Bimantara family, you have to understand that,” Adyaksa continued.

“Pa... Don't be like this, however I can't leave Rinjani this easily,” Mada said trying to stop his papa.

"Why didn't you say it from the beginning. Mada?, if you say honestly I will understand you, before I already have deep feelings for you,” Marinka said as she rubbed the corner of her wet eyes.

"Jani..not so, the reality is__”.

“Mada...!" Adyaksa shouted to break Mada's speech. I don't know what Mada would say if her papa didn't interrupt.

"This lady's husband is from here. Papa's tired, or our deal's over. Youunderstand? The decision is in your hands right now. If you really want to get rid of Byakta and Rajendra in the list of heirs, then, you have to agree papa today,” said Adyaksa keep pressing.

Rinjani stared in disbelief, why is everything two-faced. Just for the sake of the department Mada willing to hurt you?

"Mada... Make your decision quickly. Mama is tired, mama wants to rest,” said Mrs Rita while tidying up her still-tidy bun.

Mada looked at her lover's face with a difficult look.

"Jani..” Mada's voice is heavy. His eyes are getting hot. Unable to look into the woman's eyes. If judged by feelings, Mada also did not fully fall in love half-dead to Rinjani. But, Mada really appreciated Rinjani all along. And even if they split up, it shouldn't be this painful for Rinjani.

“Oke, I get it. Let's just end it, I don't want to pressure you either. Enough of your family to press you.” Rinjani said as she tidied up her bag, moving on to leave. He smiled bitterly.

"Thank you for everything Mada, om, aunt. I have no problem with your unilateral decision, and for the planned invitations and receptions, let it be my business. I will not disturb the family om anymore,” said Rinjani half-vibrantly holding back her cries.

"Jani, forgive me..” Mada's eyes look red. Mada tried to reach Rinjani's hand, but Rinjani brushed him off slowly.

"No problem, I'm starting to understand, I know who I am, my family is not worth you. It is very different from the Sasti family. He is also more worthy to accompany you, you can complement each other,”he said bitterly.

“I'm sorry to thank you for wasting your precious time during these three years, and the result is zero big.”

"Attar him, Mada. Think of it as the last honor,” said Mrs Rita.

"No need, aunt, I can be alone. Thank you very much,” said Marinka then went half-run. Mada chased until he got out. Trying to reach Rinjani's hand, but Rinjani brushed aside hard.

"Jan, I'm sorry, I can explain. It's not what you think,”

"explain? When's? Now or tomorrow after I don't have this face?!”

“You don't think you want to put where my face is huh? You invited me here to see your parents for blessing, but in reality you even want to marry Sasti who unfortunately was my friend from the past. You're sane?!” Rinjani's voice is rising. Mada is silent, and Rinjani chooses to walk away from the mansion.

****

The night showed at nine o'clock. But Rinjani is still sitting on the bench of the park in the middle of the city. There are still some people who pass by enjoying the night with friends and even their small family.

Seen a husband and wife with his son who is about one year old. They jokingly feed each other, and occasionally tease their child. That's so sweet.. Not feeling Rinjani's lips smile in the midst of bitterness.

“If only..” He shook his head as he rubbed the brazen tears falling on his cheeks. Rinjani picks up the phone in her bag and tries to contact someone.

“I need you tonight. In usual place.”
