Merely Protector
Chapters 18. Not Love



"I believe in Mama." Angga looked at her face while holding Emma's hand.


Emma smiled, feeling happy. Finally, Angga heard his words. He no longer had to worry about the future of the child. Yes, he does not want to have a daughter-in-law of the village. Want to put where his face is when Arisan's friend finds out. Everyone would definitely skin the sampi his bones.


Not unlike Emma, Reno and Alia are also very happy. It turned out that they did not need to work hard to persuade Angga. Somehow, maybe because of the amnesia experienced that makes the man change, not as hard as the head first.


Angga pulled his hand, then placed it on the stomach. "But" said Angga, making everyone frown, "I want to remember for all of you first."


The three people looked at each other. They don't know what Angga wants to say. Now everything is getting restless.


"I don't want to marry her if my memory hasn't returned."


All eyes are round. It turns out that their estimates were wrong. Angga is still the same as before, not easily influenced.


"Darling, you really don't remember me. In fact, you are the one who married me. But why is it like this now?" Alia sat on the edge of the bed, right at the right foot of Angga. He felt very sad because the lover was reluctant to marry him.


Again Angga explained his words earlier. He also stressed that he had a wife. That way, he hoped they would stop planning to deceive him.


"Alright, I'm so. I will work hard so that you remember everything" said Alia in the end.


The woman was sure it would be easy to make Angga remember everything. Plan after plan was already flowing in his mind. Alia will launch them one by one. He didn't want to just let go of Angga.


With the spirit of Alia, a hope appeared for both Angga's parents. They no longer have to worry about the wedding. Everything will be fine and no one will be humiliated.


"There is one more" said Angga.


Emma did not accept because there are still conditions from Angga. The first one is damning. Making someone recall his past would definitely take a long time. Now I don't know what other provisions that man will give.


"Are you planning to cancel our marriage? Why do you have to give me another condition?" Alia gripped the sheets. He felt disappointed by the current state of Angga.


"If I was your boyfriend, if I remember later I would know that too. So, why are you guys worried?"


Angga's words are true. No one should be afraid if it's all true. They were finally willing to listen to the conditions that the man had given them.


"Until the moment I remember all, Barin Silvi lives here. You should also treat him well because I've also treated his family well."


Now the three pairs of perfectly rounded eyes. They want to protest, but they feel useless. With a heavy heart, Angga's request was finally approved.


***


The sky began to look beautiful with an orange hue. Neatly lined storks fly towards the nest. However, there is a pair of eyes that can not enjoy it because it is sleeping.


"Silvi, wake!"


The wobble in hand made the woman squirm. Silvi immediately sat down when she realized the surroundings were already bright by the light rays. He lowered his head to avoid the blinding light.


Silvi did not know how long to sleep. Silence without anyone accompanying made the woman tired. Hungry also whack, worms in the stomach can not be compromised so make him fall asleep to hold all that.


"Where is everyone? Kok, it's quiet."


"Mama's the same papa in the room. If Alia has come home," answered Angga. He sat next to the woman.


Silvi was astonished, Alia came home quickly. Wasn't this the first time the woman was able to reunite with her future husband? Don't want to vent longing all this time. However, all those questions he ignored, were not his business either.


Angga nodded his head in response to Silvi's question. His face looked straight ahead.


"Keep, what's next? We go home or what?"


"This is my house. Where else would I go?"


Silvi lowered her head after hearing Angga's statement. He felt so stupid for asking that question. Now a feeling of doubt enveloped his heart.


"I'm ... I'm also here, right?"


All Silvi's doubts are justified. He knew very well that the Angga family did not like him. So, how could they possibly accept her presence in that house.


"Of course." Angga looked at Silvi for a moment, then looked forward again.


Angga's words made Silvi smile happily. Trust proved. She was increasingly convinced that the man had a taste for her.


"Thank you, have done all this for me" said Silvi Lirih. He did not know in what way the man persuaded his family. There must have been a debate until that decision was taken.


"Aquine what? I'm just doing what I want. Not more."


"You want to defend me from that woman, don't you?"


Silvi's smile expands. His chest was pounding very fast when he said that sentence. If Angga was closer to him, perhaps the man was able to hear the beatings.


"No. From the very first moment, I was suspicious of that woman. He must have had a foul plan. He's actually my fiancee."


Silvi scrunched his forehead. He did not understand the meaning of Angga. Why could this man think that?


"Your mom and dad were really talking about that woman."


"Eitherway. I still can't accept him so. That's why I told them that you're my wife so they don't mess around."


Silvi's lips instantly curved downwards. It was not love that made Angga say that and held the woman to stay. Now he felt like he was just a bunch of meaningless things.


The memory of his being together with Angga revolves in the mind. The things that he thought were sweet, were meaningless to the man. What about when they were united? Is it just forgotten?


Silvi let out a long breath. He tried to calm himself. Now he realized from the beginning he was no one. Selfishness really changes everything.


"Where are you going to the room! Shower first. I'm ready to wear clothes for you to lose."


Angga got up from his seat. She looked troubled, but Silvi was unmoved with her head lowered. After trying hard, the man finally succeeded, then walked to the back. He called the maid to take the woman to the room.


Silvi walked towards the room ushered by a maid. The woman's bed was near the kitchen, the place where ordinary guests stayed.


A room was five times five meters in front of his eyes, wider than his. However, this was not only able to please her heart. He dropped his body on the floor after closing the door. His legs can no longer support all the weight in the body. Tears flooded the tiny cheeks that had been flushed earlier.


"This is karma for me, Lord."


Seriate.
