Marry Me, Mr. Lecturer

Papa and Mama

Mama and Papa Niki looked at each other again. Weight actually allows their beloved daughter, falls into the hands of a man who is not clear about his household problems. But seeing the situation where Niki disappeared because of her previous opposition to her relationship with Farel, Papa and Mama Niki had to rethink their decision.

“I give you two days to find my daughter, and after that no more than a week you have to solve your household problems. Whatever your decision if you still make the second Niki, I will pick up my son at that time,” said Papa Niki firmly.

“Good,” said Farel with vibrating voice. There was nothing more he could say, all of his in-laws' words were orders that could not be bargained anymore.

After Farel, Niki's mother remained silent in her seat with her head bowed.

“Why you?” Papa Niki, who had just entered the house after driving his son-in-law to the door, found his wife sitting on her feet. He immediately positioned next to Mama Niki and grabbed the shoulder of his wife who fell down. The question is just a stale one, because he knows very well what a burden the woman who has accompanied the journey of his life for more than 20 years.

“Until when, God punish us.” Mama Niki's tears began to fall. During his conversation with his son-in-law earlier, he tried to hold back his tears. Like a replayed movie, it was like seeing her and her husband 20 years ago. With his own eyes, he saw how Erik was hit, beaten and kicked by his Papa, for asking his blessing to be able to marry him.

Both of them have done wrong things in their lives. Even his actions may be much more evil than his daughter's. Take the man from the other side of the woman. Whatever the reason and condition of the man's household, he knew it was unjustified. But why did fate take her on such a journey, and now even her only daughter has to experience something similar.

“Do not have such thoughts, we have agreed not to look back again. All is well, no one has been hurt so deeply to date. Our big family relationship, even better than before,” said Papa Niki while more tightened his embrace. Although he also felt heavy, but as a parent and husband he had to stand up straight as if everything was fine.

“I'm afraid Niki is going through a tough thing like we used to. Why can I miss watching him.” Mama Niki covered her face with her palm.

“Niki is a smart and brave child, we have to trust him. Farel is not a bad guy either, I saw sincerity in his eyes. Hopefully they can get through this life process,” said Papa Niki with eyes glaring far away.

“Niki is now where, Mas. I've been to a place he's been to a lot. Also to the friend's house where he used to stay, but I still couldn't find any trace of him. I'm sorry I slapped him twice.” Mama Niki raised her trembling palm.

Meanwhile, on the way home, Farel continued to try to contact his wife. But all his calls were not connected. When he got home, as usual he did not find Marisa even though the time has shown almost midnight.

Usually he is worried and will continue to contact the woman who is still his wife, even though he knows where and who is with Marisa. But this time, his mind was only filled with his little wife. There was not the slightest trace of Marisa in her heart and head at this moment.

Not far from the city where she lives, Niki sits huddled in a stall that provides simple food for employees of the hotel where she stays.

He had to be very frugal in order to survive. The savings he gave his parents had pulled everything. There was no plan or direction when he decided to leave the house. As a spoiled only child, this was the most distance he had ever traveled alone.

The ego and heartache that made him dare to go so far. Wanted to return home from a hungry stomach, but anger was still lingering in his heart. Two people who expected him to have hurt and throw it away, then where else can he go?

“Where to be?” asked a mother who was still sitting next to her stool and was waiting for an answer from her.

Niki opened her wallet which only had green and blue sheets. He had to decide quickly before he had to end up begging by the side of the road.
