This incident happened before the wedding began.

Melia ran into one of the deserted corridors of the hospital. He spilled all his restlessness and also his disrepair there.

His voice sounded soft, but his crying never subsided. Even the girl was as excited as she leaned against one side of the wall.

There was no one else, except Erlan in his mind. I don't know since when, but it was just that name that crossed his heart.

Not wanting to wait, he wanted to solve a problem that he currently considers complicated.

A moment after his initial emotions began to subside. Melia reached into her pants pocket to just pick up her phone.

Quickly, his spring fingers immediately danced to the number connecting him to Erlan.

I don't know how many seconds, the phone call he made has not been connected. Makes her more tense due to fear of being forcibly married to the father's chosen husband.

The girl even stomped her feet repeatedly while slightly screaming the glass held back her frustration.

"Hello," said someone whose voice sounded familiar after a while Melia waited.

Hearing Erlan's voice alone was able to make Melia's smile disappear finally expands as well.

"Hello, Erlan. Sorry I called suddenly. It's a serious matter" Melia said in an enthusiastic and passionate tone.

"Melia, I'm sorry. I'll have a meeting soon. I got a big project. Imagine, I am trusted to hold this project like my Om, this is really unexpected," explained Erlan trying to tell the situation in the distance there.

The bright smile that had curved beautifully on Melia's lips finally slowly faded. There was disappointment in his heart. After realizing he had completely lost Erlan ever since the young man left.

Erlan was no longer a good listener, who wanted to hear his complaints and also his place to share. On the same occasion, a clear circle immediately escaped just wetting his cheek.

"Lan, my dad's sick. I want to be forced to marry someone else. I'm asking you to come and see me now. Erlan, please .. This is for us, Lan. Just listen to me this time." Melia cried as she spoke.

Instantly turned silent. Erlan who originally sounded carefree telling the news that he considered happy was no longer sounding dusty.

"Melia, sorry. But you know it's impossible. This was my dream a long time ago" Erlan said after a while.

"Lan, I'm not asking for much of your time, I'm just asking you to spend a day! Just a day, Lan."

"I'm sorry, Melia. The meeting has already begun. I have to get ready. Good afternoon," Erlan concluded, ending an ongoing phone call.

Melia's crying now began to sound even softly. For some reason, his heart was really sick and even felt betrayed.

Hope is gone already. Nothing else could make him smile. Suddenly it was present in his mind the whole togetherness with Erlan since they were children.

"I don't want another man, Lan," she said as she hugged herself in tears.

But from a different direction. A middle-aged woman named Larasati Paramitha walked towards him. She is Melia's mother. Village women are simple, loving and understanding.

Patiently, he stroked the back of his daughter who was crying alone. Melia then drowned her head in her mother's arms.

He poured out all his sadness and disappointment. No exception to the annoyance of the decision of the father who considered him selfish.

"Mom, this is not the time of Siti Nurbaya, I know we live in the village. But that doesn't mean we have to embrace old understandings. Dad's thinking is selfish, Mom! I also have the right to choose," Melia complained as she looked up at her mother expectantly.

Bu Laras shook his head slowly. "No, you're wrong. Your father, just worried about you, Nduk. Try it once you follow his will. Do you know what his condition is like? Don't be sorry."

I don't know what happened after that Bu Laras told Melia. Until finally, he also wanted to be persuaded to meet the man who would be betrothed to him.

Then, with doubtful steps. Melia finally walked towards her father's hospital room.

*****

Melia has arrived at her father's room. His head bowed with eyes still puffy, he was silent.

"Melia, sit! Talk to your father from heart to heart, "persuade Ms. Laras.

Melia was silent, but her hand shifted the door and sat down.

Mr. Haris smiled bitterly in front of Melia with a sad look.

"Hows it? The man you're proud of can't keep his promise? Not all men in this world are good, Melia. Try to trust the parents. All parents want the best for their children." Mr. Haris stroked the top of his daughter's head as he spoke.

"Melia, don't worry. If after you meet him later you are still uncomfortable. I promise I won't force it" said the father. As if to calm his daughter.

"Tomorrow you'll take the driver to a villa. After meeting him, talk to him. Consider it an opportunity to get to know each other. Later, you two meet Dad here. Do not let you regret," said the father half forcefully.

A thin smile on her lips could be seen decorating. As if hinting expectantly to the princess.

"Yes Dad, Melia tried," Melia said in the end.

*****

Next day. Melia dress up. Of course, he hoped the young man refused after seeing himself with a look that did not hint at modern girls at all.

Long pants, blue jeans deliberately combined with black polka-dot shirt white base short sleeved.

After that, he simply tied his hair with a ponytail and then he finally set himself in front of the mirror.

He took a deep breath, after finally solidifying himself ushered by the driver.

I don't know how long they've been on a trip that's a short distance from Melia's house. Until finally arrived at the destination.

A magnificent villa with tropical shades, with a lot of thick glass as far as the eye can see as the walls of the house that give the impression of a magnificent modern.

Melia's footsteps slowed down when she realized that a young man was standing waiting for her with his back to back.

Melia's forehead wrinkled. As if realizing, if he recognized the young man.

And. Yep. The young man twisted his body like a slow motion moving so slowly. Who would have thought that his attitude actually made Melia nervous, surprised and staring at him.

"Mr!" he shouted, making his two eyes perfectly round instantly.

"Why?" fahri asked who really surprised Melia.

Lightning-fast. Seeing immediately turned his body and was about to leave the place. But fatefully, his movement lost quickly with the hand of Fahri who had gripped his arm firmly. Until it makes its movement restrained.

"Melia, listen to my explanation. You think you're also happy with this difficult decision I was forced to make!" hiss Fahri.

Nothing has changed. Fahri is still the same boring person. An arrogant arrogant arrogant man.

The two looked at each other with equally sharp eyes.
