The break bell rang, signaling the first class was over. The students and students stormed out of their classes, the sound of loud echoes dominating each room and corridor.
"Bro!" Alex gasped as Bima patted his shoulder.
"Why the hell are you? I've been watching all this time, is there a problem?"
Bima's question also invited the attention of Sandi and Vicky whose seats are adjacent to Alex and Bima. The two then approached, sat down and waited for Alex's answer as Bima did. Alex took a breath while looking one by one at his friend's face, then let out a long sigh. It must have been an agitated look printed clearly on Alex's face at this moment, thus making the three friends wonder.
"Yes, there's a problem" he replied listlessly.
"Jude, we're always ready for you. By the way!" sandi.
"Thanks, but..." Alex sighed again, he shook his head slowly ".This matter is serious."
"OKAY. What makes you hesitate to talk to us? We're ready to help you." chimpal Vicky.
"Look me-." Alex's words came to a halt, looking at the girl standing at the door of his class.
Bima, Sandi, and Vicky then turned their eyes in the right direction. Kayla stood there with her smile, then greeted them. All three of Alex's friends welcome Kayla, but not Alex. Alex's reaction confused them. Why didn't Alex respond to Kayla, she just fell silent with a stiffened expression, her eyes unblinking looking at Kayla.
"Mrs Strawberry!" kayla said as she stood in front of Alex.
Again Alex gasped, "Mm-.miss Kissable." he said.
"What's wrong?" confused Kayla when she saw the look on the faces of the four men in front of her.
"Oh no papa. We unplug it first yes." said Bima while coding on Sandi danVicky.
Bima pats Alex on the shoulder before leaving the class with Sandi and Vicky. Alex and Kayla were both in class. Actually since papa intends to break Alex's relationship with Kayla, Alex's heart always rippled pain every time he saw Kayla. Alex loves him, and he can't hurt the girl he loves. Alex could not see Kayla grieving, her tears tormented Alex. Imagining it made her heart feel something different when she saw Kayla.
"Mr Strawberry, what's the matter? I noticed you from yesterday, you're acting weird you know not." Kayla sits next to Alex.
Alex chuckles, "What a weird thing.."
"Pliss, you promised me I'd talk today. Yaudah let's talk!"
"Ngo-.by the way what..?"
"You know why, pliss, don't be like a bego. You may not forget!" Kayla starts sulking.
Alex swallowed his saliva heavily. This is what Alex was worried about, he didn't expect there would be a day when he would face a situation like this. But now it seemed like this situation he could no longer avoid. Kayla will be more suspicious if she continues to tickle, lest this girl desperately find out for herself. Although anxious, until this moment Alex is still optimistic that his relationship with Kayla will remain fine. Now he only needs to talk to Kayla, but he can't be completely honest and doesn't lie completely, he just has to make sure that he won't hurt the girl he loves.
"I'm sorry, I made you sprain. Actually I think you better not know about this, I'm afraid it hurts you."
Kayla frowned, "Fear of pain?" ask her own mind.
"What's really going on, until you think of it, is there a bad problem?" Kayla started to worry.
Alex smiled faintly, "No too. You can still do it, you don't have to worry."
Kayla was silent, waiting for Alex to continue. "Actually, I just told papa about what happened to you last week. Papa was angry because I was desperate to deal with the situation without you knowing"
Kayla's feelings are starting to get bad. "Papa. was surprised after knowing about your papi as well. That's why yesterday I was afraid that papa would say something to your mom"
"Because that's why you were talking about mommy last night, and mommy was talking about you?" Alex nodded.
"Papa mean you've been talking to mami dong?"
"I don't know, that's why I went to you last night."
"Why didn't you say yes?" little Kayla murmured.
"Wait, papa you didn't know anything about my papi?"
Alex nodded, "yes. I just told you yesterday. Sorry yeah.."
Kayla stared in wonder at Alex's face, why did Alex just tell her the truth about Kayla's papi to her papa! Kayla told Alex the truth about her papa before they got engaged. Kayla thought Alex would tell her dad right away because it was important, but it wasn't.
"Why?"
"I'm afraid you're going to have a problem with that, and you don't know us" Alex replied honestly.
Kayla sighed stifled, annoyed. "And now it's a problem too!"
Alex was silent, feeling guilty.
"Mr Strawberry, I'm being honest about that to you because I don't want anyone to shut us down. You know, it's not easy for me to talk about it with anyone. And I did that before we started the relationship, because I didn't want to get into trouble in the future because somebody shut down. I think you understand that, papa you should know about my papi before giving my blessing" Kayla said weakly.
"Miss Kissable. Sorry I. lya this is my fault, I should immediately tell papa at that time. I don't mean to worry about you at all, I'm just afraid of losing you"
To be honest Kayla wants to be angry, but still she can stand it. she must learn patience and calm in dealing with problems, after all she does not want to fight with Alex.
"What's your papa's response?" kayla asked with an uncertain feeling.
Alex did not answer immediately, making Kayla's feelings more and more unbecoming.
"Papa you must not be happy right, it turns out I am the son of a pimp. Is your papa angry, or perhaps.. Papa you're ashamed of his future son-in-law like me?"
Alex raised his eyebrows, tense. "You said what the hell, you know my papa right. he thinks you're like his own son. Papa was in shock, because he didn't know about your papi from the beginning. But I've been understanding to papa, you don't have to worry!"
"Your mouth asks me not to worry, but your own facial expression looks worried. Your attitude is not usually Al, Mami is also still looking strange until this morning. What are you guys covering up from me?" lirih Kayla is worried.
"Papa you must be angry, right? What is our relationship -.."
"Sstt.. Don't talk about it!" sergeant Alex. "This is what made me think of telling you this story. I don't want you to worry and think weird like that."
Kayla looked down lethargic, she certainly felt inferior and sad when she knew her future father-in-law was not happy with the facts about her papa. It is true that if the papi is not a good person, a respected person like Mr. William must have considered this issue. It felt natural for Mr. William to be angry, or even more so. Different if the problem is already known before the proposal and engagement occurs. Kayla's feeling became unsettled, somehow next if the situation was this way. Kayla regrets Alex covering up this issue from her father in order to get blessing. Is her fear of losing Kayla greater than her trust? To the point that he chose to hide the truth rather than risk speaking truthfully.
And now Alex intends to cover this matter from him, even though Kayla has the right to know. Kayla knows Alex wants to keep her feelings in check, but the truth is that what's happening now is a problem. Problems that might affect their relationship.
"Trus?" ask Kayla.
"This happened because of my mistake, I will definitely get a solution to this problem. Don't worry, you!"
Kayla looked at Alex with an erratic feeling, even her eyes were already dewy. Alex regrets problems like this should happen to their relationship, but he promises himself he will fight for his love, and will continue to keep it whatever happens.
"Miss Kissable's.." Alex puts his hand on the back of Kayla's hand. "Do you believe me?"
"You know if I'm upset with you, because you're not being straight honest with your dad!"
"I'm sorry.." - Alex, bowing his head.
Kayla let out a heavy sigh, "How are you?"
"Papa.. by the way, what? Do you know, too, papa are you talking about my mama?"
Alex opened his mouth but did not say anything, confused what to answer and he did not want to lie.
"Why not answer?" kayla's insistence on making Alex flutter.
"You know how I can calm down, you ask me not to worry, but if it's a problem for your dad how I don't worry!" kayla's voice started to crackle.
Kayla was afraid, afraid that her heart would be broken by love. This is what he once very much avoided, he did not dare to involve the heart to avoid troubled love.he did not want a broken heart, he did not want to be broken, mami also warned him long ago to be careful with this one. Love, love that is located in the heart, a heart that can bloom happily because of it or even destroyed by it. Kayla fears falling in love, until her own mother convinces her to open her heart to Alex, the man she is now engaged to.
he thought he was right, but what is this? The problem of what happened is, Kayla is afraid that the fact about her that made her future father-in-law shocked will be at risk for her relationship with Alex.
"Miss Kissable. You don't think macems. I don't want you to stress this out. Remove all your worries yes, any bad thing that now bothers your mind. pliss lupain ya! I can handle this, it's not a big deal."
Instead of calming, Alex's words made Kayla's tears fall down her cheeks. Alex was getting worse, and he raised both hands to wipe away the tears.
"Darling, your tears scare me more than your anger. I promise, our relationship will be fine."
"Don't promise Al! You hate promises, right, why are you making promises to me? I'm afraid that promise is not-.."
"Sst. darling pliss, don't be like this dong. I know I was wrong, I must have fixed everything. Don't cry anymore, okay! You don't want me to be weak, do you?" Kayla nodded. "It's a cry, I can't do anything without your support" said Alex softly, with his hands still on Kayla's cheeks.
Kayla said, she stopped crying and began to pull the corners of her lips into a smile. Alex smiled with relief.
"You must remember, no matter what happens, I always love you. Whatever obstacles will prevent our love, I must solve everything. My love is sincere Miss Kissable, and it won't change."

(***Flashback****On)
Nadia sat opposite Mr. William in his boss's special workspace. According to his intention, Mr. William discussed the issue he spoke to Alex yesterday. Nadia was quite surprised when Mr. William claimed not to know about Kayla papi, even he only knew about it yesterday when Alex told of the tragedy experienced by Kayla. Nadia also began to fidget afterwards, especially then Mr. William expressed his objection to continued Alex's relationship with Kayla.
"What do you mean, sir?" nadia asked with an uncertain feeling.
"Yes, I think that's for the best. You know Alex, he's my only heir. The good image of the family depends on it, I will not take any risks by continuing this relationship. I know you and Kayla are good people, but still.. " Mister William paused his sentence, exhaling. "You must understand, besides we are always highlighted, our business rivals will also definitely not be silent. Sorry Nadia, I don't mean to blame you and Kayla, but anyway, Kayla's papi can't be ignored."
Nadia was stunned, it was painful for her heart to hear this kind of apology from her iron candidate. "But sir, Kayla's papa is now in prison. I guarantee he won't bother Kayla anymore, let alone ruin Kayla and Alex's relationship. I. I have to say what my son is like this, sir."
"I know, but I also understand very well people like them, even though Papi Kayla has been imprisoned, I still can not underestimate this. And I. It's also hard to do this, Nadia. Because I know Kayla, I really don't have the heart to hurt her. But this is the best path I can take."
Nadia. "Is there no better solution sir, without sacrificing their relationship."
"I think you can understand my reason" continued Mr. William.
"I understand, but I'm sorry Sir.. Can you not give up on your own child's happiness?"
Mr. William frowned, felt insinuated and then chuckled. "I'm also a parent, of course I want my child to be happy. But sometimes we have to put aside pleasure for good. After all they are very young, let them take a lesson from their love experience. I'm sure Kayla is a strong and strong boy, her thinking is even more mature than Alex. So, he's definitely getting through this."
Nadia breathed a heavy sigh, sick. "I also believe my son is strong sir, but I can't let their relationship end. Please don't break their hearts sir, they already love each other and are happy." said Nadia Parau.
"I'm not going to change my decision, Nadia. What I'm doing is for the good of our family and business image, and also for Alex's future. Alex and Kayla are still unmarried, and Kayla will lose nothing if her relationship with Alex ends. Yes I know they will be heartbroken, but that doesn't mean it will hinder their growth, it doesn't mean that their future will be ruined."
"Kayla and Alex will both feel lost, sir. I think you understand their feelings."
"But I want them to understand the situation better and think about the good, rather than having to put forward feelings. It'll make them all grown up."
Nadia wanted to continue resisting at once begging, but her heart was already sick so her tongue was twisted.
"I've asked Alex to discuss this with Kayla as well." Nadia was wide-eyed to hear him, her head shaking weakly.
"I'm sorry Nadia again. I can't let this relationship continue. Talk about this to your sister, later I will visit your house to officially break our children's relationship."
Duaarr..........
(Flashback Off)
"Hiks. hyks.." Nadia squeezed out the fluid of her nose which suddenly overflowed after she cried.
In front of him, the brother sat quietly. A few minutes ago Nadia met him and confided about the problem Nadia was facing. The wise brother was now silent while thinking, he was also agitated but he did not want to talk wrong let alone make the wrong decision, which would further harm the younger brother and nephew. he should be careful in finding the best solution of this problem.
"Mas, how should I..?" Nadia Whinek.
"Where's Kayla's condition?" ask lwan.
"Lily doesn't know anything like Mas. Last night I tried to ask him he was confused, so I didn't get into a discussion."
"You mean.. Alex hasn't talked to Kayla?"
"yes it looks like Mas. Lily said yesterday they were okay as usual, no problem."
"Yesterday. Today?" ask lwan again.
Nadia was silent, she was quiet again. "Today..?" muttered worriedly. "Mas, do you think Alex will follow his papa's will? Does Alex have to hurt Lily? Alex is very dear to Lily, Mas." said Nadia rasak.
Iwan nodded, "You're right Nad, I don't think Alex would have the pain of Kayla. Maybe that's also why yesterday she didn't talk to Kayla, but we don't know what happened today."
Nadia is back. Iwan stroked his shoulders, consoling. "We need to talk to Alex, Nad."
Nadia nodded weakly. "Mas aja's. I'm not strong."
"OKAY. I'll talk to Alex, but you need to find out how Alex's mom responds!"
Nadia fell silent, frowning in confusion. "Alex's mother?"
"lyas. We don't know how Alex's mom responded to this. Sir William shouldn't have made that big of a decision without Alex's mom, right?"
Nadia nodded, "Okay, Mas." she replied weakly.
