Kayla sobs a little even though she tries to hide her tears, Feli is the same. Feli chuckled lightly while wiping away her tears.
"My goal today is to tell you a decision." Said Feli after taking a breath and exhaling it quietly.
Degg
Kayla was getting nervous and scared.
"I need your approval, Kayla. Because I've decided that I won't marry Alex."
Duaarr........
"Marriage will still happen, but not between me and Alex, but you and Alex."
Duaaaarr.........
Kayla flinched, shocked. His breath was blocked instantly, he reflexively covered his wide-open mouth with his palm.
"Mom.." Kayla shivered, she shook her head weakly.
"You're the same Alex, Kayla."
Duaasarrr.......
Kayla was tense, fixated, she was surprised not to play. Feli pulled a slight corner of his lips while nodding faintly. The words that came out of Feli's mouth with a serious look on the woman's face, made Kayla shocked. Kayla adjusted her breath that felt tight. After feeling his breathing better, he looked back at Feli. Kayla's heart was made to rage by Feli's words, yet she was unwilling to believe any of it. What Feli said was all very surprising to Kayla, Kayla was restless and so guilty of the heartache that Feli felt. Why is Alex so stubborn, why would Alex hurt Feli.
Kayla closed her eyes for a moment before saying something. He thins his lips before opening his mouth and uttering a word. "Mom, please don't joke with something this big. Ms. Feli is Alex's future wife, and your relationship is sanctioned by the whole family."
"But I don't approve of it myself, Kayla. And I'm seriously the same as my decision."
"Why did you say that, ma'am..?" The glimmer of calm Kayla was trying to wake up from earlier, was crushed again by Feli's words.
"I wouldn't be happy to be a barrier between two people who love each other."
"I don't love Alex, Mom. He's just my past."
Feli shook his head, "Not Kayla. Alex is not yet your past, just a situation that makes your love destiny pause. Alex hasn't considered you her past either. His love is so great for you, Kayla. He's tormented by having to choose to forget you, I can't let him be ruined."
"I can't believe Alex would hurt Miss Feli like that. I can't believe he's gonna break his promise, Mom."
"Alex is trying to keep his word. I know he tried, but the effort just tortured him. If I married Alex, maybe he would feel burdened with new responsibilities, I don't like that. If he can never escape you, I won't last long beside him, Kayla."
"Is Alex that weak, Mom? Ms. Feli doesn't believe that she can forget me. Isn't Alex mature enough to make Ms Feli believe it? He might need some time and I'm sure Bu Feli knows it, I think he's wise enough not to make mistakes.
Feli did not immediately chimed in Kayla's words, he kept silent by staring at Kayla. While Kayla continues to sob feeling guilty towards Feli, and angry at Alex.
"He needs time, that's what he always says. And I always try to understand him, even though I don't know how long I have to be patient. But Kayla, I am just an ordinary girl who has dreams just like girls in general. When I feel that my dream is in front of my eyes, I can't achieve it. I had to fight, in an uncertain period of time at all. Until finally I was tired, and I was afraid that I would never get to my destination, because the path I took was wrong. What should I do? The success of my futile struggle is greater, than the success."
"But Miss Feli won't give up that fast, will she?" kayla said expectantly and fearfully.
Feli sounded exhaled, "So far, as I looked. I was tired and Alex was overwhelmed. That's just it."
Kayla was still confused as to how to respond. Feli lowered his head to stare at her engagement ring with Alex. He then raised his hand with the ring so Kayla could see it too.
"Kayla, this ring is exactly like the one you Alex used to love, right?"
Kayla frowned looking at Feli's sweet diamond ring. Then he turned his gaze to the face of Feli who had been observing the look on his face.
"But this is a different ring. Alex prefers to buy me a new ring instead of giving me a ring that you returned to him at that time. I love the ring, even the size of it fits on my finger."
"The ring is still on me until now." Kayla's inner.
"Do you know why, Kayla?"
"Why, Mom?" kayla asked directly without thinking about the answer to Bu Feli's question who wanted her to think more.
"Because the ring belongs to you. And Alex said the ring was just yours, no one else could have."
Kayla did not respond, she chose to wait for Feli to continue with her words. "I should have realized at that time, if Alex's love is also just yours, and can not be owned by others. I should have understood that from the beginning, so I wouldn't be so lost and sad as I am now."
"In my opinion, Alex admitted that because he was nagging Bu Feli's future, so he did not want to associate Bu Feli with a part of his past. I mean, the ring, Mom."
"Kayla, like that ring that I used to hold for a while and then I went back to you, that's how Alex, his love, and the ring, were connected. You turned the ring back to Alex but then it went back to you, right?" Kayla escaped her gaze in the other direction.
"I was just given the chance to hold the ring for a while, and I was given the responsibility to turn the ring back to the owner, to you Kayla. And so was Alex. I was just given a chance to get Alex for a little while, until I was ready to turn him back to you, to the owner of his love. And now it's time, Kayla."
Kayla shook her head in agitation. "So, I broke up to let Alex go. Let me be relieved and Alex is free. I'll unite you with Alex, Kayla."
Kayla took a breath while wiping away her tears. "But Mom, I'm sure that Alex will still choose Bu Feli instead of agreeing to Bu Feli's decision."
"You..sure?" Bu Feli raised both eyebrows.
Kayla nodded steadily. "Yes. Alex says he won't see me again. He knows his mistake, Mom, and he's determined to fix it. He also said that he accepted your match with all his heart."
Feli was amazed by Kayla's last sentence. "When did Alex say that?"
Kayla lowered her head for a moment, then took a breath and exhaled before replying to Feli. "Yesterday."
Feli didn't react.
"Then he came here, ma'am, he-.."
"She loves flowers for you, she shows her love to you. Isn't that Kayla?" said Feli cutting off Kayla's speech.
Kayla shook her head in a frenzy, without even realizing a single tear was running down her cheek again. While Feli was still looking at him calmly even though Feli's eyes were wet.
"Mom Feli knows?"
"I know. I was in your mama's position when you were talking here yesterday." Feli pointed with an eye gesture towards the door of Kayla's room, which turned out there was Mami Kayla who was peeking, when Kayla and Feli caught sight of her, Mami immediately hid.
"Alex came to say goodbye, ma'am."
"By showing her love?"
"The flower is just a sign of gratitude, as well as a birthday greeting for me. That's just. Alex really said he was going to start a new life with a future plan he had already made, Mom. He also said.before he met me yesterday he was not sure of the same future plan he made, but just as he said.he was sure that he would not look back again."
"Do you reject the flower she loves?" asked Feli, Kayla was a bit confused but she nodded. And it made Feli chuckle a little, so Kayla furrowed her forehead until both of her eyebrows were almost linked.
"You refused her love, so she said she was sure not to see you again."
Momentary silence.
"He's disappointed, Kayla. He said that to you not because he was sure of me, but because he hurt you to refuse." The link between Kayla's eyebrows disappeared instantly, now she understood Feli's intentions.
"Bu Feli was also disappointed, right, so Bu Feli did not make a decision like this? Actually, Miss Feli did not really want to let Alex go." Kayla should not ask back like this to Feli, because Feli could have been offended.
"Not disappointed Kayla, but sad." The two looked at each other seriously. "I'm sad because my marriage has to be annulled, I'm sad because I have to be involved with a guy who loves someone else. I'm not angry or blaming Alex for him not loving me or he can't forget you. I'm not disappointed because of that, I know love can't be imposed, and Alex's love for you is not a mistake, so there's no reason for me to feel disappointed."
"So, Miss Feli thought. If Alex is not an adult because she is disappointed over something that should not be?"
"But yesterday Ms. Feli did not see what her eyes looked like when she talked to me. I don't think it's a disappointment, but a policy."
Feli raised both eyebrows with a relaxed expression. "Alex just forced himself to look tough in front of you, he was smart to hide his expression, Kayla. But that doesn't mean he can hide his love, because it's too big."
"Maybe it's true that he wasn't sure before because he still couldn't escape me. But ma'am, as long as I know Alex it will not be sure of the same decision he took. I'm sure, when he said accept your match with all his heart.he was sure the same relationship with Bu Feli. In the future, he will not make mistakes again. Believe me, Mom!" persuade Kayla expectantly.
"I'm sure of my decision too, Kayla. I'm not getting married to Alex."
Kayla took a breath while closing her eyes, her chest feeling tight due to her current chaotic feelings. After he exhaled and felt a little relieved, he looked at Bu Feli again.
"I have no right to make Bu Feli's decision on that. But if Bu Feli asks me to marry Alex, I have the right to refuse."
"Why Kayla? You love Alex, right?"
"It's not about love, ma'am, but blessing. In the past, the love I had for Alex was not as big as I hoped for my parents' blessing. And now that I've moved on from Alex,
nothing matters to me but the blessing of my parents."
"Aunty Nadia and Om Tio agree...?"
"Mommy-to-be won't agree."
"Om William bless you with Alex, Kayla."
Degg
Kayla rolled her eyes in disbelief. "Nobody said it, but I can see the way he treats you." continued Ms. Feli.
"Mom, please don't misunderstand me. That time may have made Om William feel responsible, but that doesn't mean he'll approve of me."
"I can assure you of that, Kayla. It won't take long, Om William, Aunt Nadia, Om Tio, even Aunt Vanessa will agree with me. If it's their blessing that you need."
Kayla began to feel upset, why was Feli impressed pushy. "You agree, Alex wouldn't agree, Mom. Because he had made the decision to marry Ms. Feli. He'll fight for your relationship, until Miss Feli's doubts go away, and he'll take her again."
"He'll fight for me like he fought for you, Kayla?" Ms. Feli chuckled discordantly. "Why would he waste his time doing that, if he didn't love me."
Kayla is stunned, she can see how Feli shows his disbelief in Alex, by belittling and assuming Kayla's words are ridiculous and impossible. But Kayla could also understand how much pain Feli was feeling right now.
"Alex said what about Miss Feli's decision?"
Feli changed his face to be more serious again, but did not answer Kayla.
"Talk about the decision is fine with Alex, ma'am. Ms. Feli doesn't have to hurt herself in this way, not necessarily Alex agrees. I don't want to get involved, Mom, and I don't want my parents thinking about this."
"My goal is to bring you together with Alex, Kayla. I don't want to make trouble, I just feel responsible as someone who is among you the same Alex. That's aja. About your parents, my parents, and Alex's parents. I'll talk to them directly, you don't have to worry about that."
"I can believe the same policy of Bu Feli. I know Mrs Feli must have thought about the decision carefully, but I still can't accept Ma'am. I can't suddenly marry and accept Alex that way, I don't want Mom."
"You're going to marry the one you love, and Alex is going to marry the one he loves. That's a dream you made with Alex, right? I will be relieved that I can make it Kayla, I will not regret my decision if you agree with Alex I do it for you."
Kayla shook her head. "Sorry Mom, I'll talk to Ms. Feli again if the problems between Ms. Feli's family and Alex's family are resolved. I hope that Bu Feli will not force the desire to make this decision if Alex and the family of Bu Feli do not agree."
Feli breathed a long breath. "OK." he replied.
After a moment of silence, Feli stood up and went home. While at the door he was intercepted by Nadia who was very curious about their chat, but Feli just said.. "I'll see you again, sorry if my arrival interfered."
Nadia suspected that Kayla did not speak well to Feli so Feli had to say so. When Nadia asked Kayla, her daughter avoided her question. So Nadia concluded that there was something the two girls hid from her. Nadia's feeling bad.

In the hospital parking lot, Alex waited anxiously. He should have seen Feli 15-20 minutes ago, but he was intercepted by two Feli bodyguards who stood guard near the car when he reached the hospital parking lot. So inevitably he waited for the girl to get out of the hospital, but the goal here was to prevent Feli from talking to Kayla. I don't know what Feli told Kayla, and somehow Kayla thinks, Alex is so agitated. Why is Feli so desperate with his stupid decision, even he has not given Alex time to talk and respond to his decision. Alex is upset.
A hot snort sounded from Alex's breathing, as he looked at the silhouette of the girl he had been waiting for. From a distance Feli was a bit surprised to see Alex, his steps had stopped. Then he stepped back confidently towards Alex.
"I didn't think you were this crazy." said Alex, holding back his anger.
"I also did not expect you will go directly to the hospital without changing uniforms first" said Feli while paying attention to Alex's High School uniform which was full of graduation celebrations.
Alex, who had clenched both hands since, was annoyed by Feli's words. Stupid in uniform, Alex pulls Feli's arm and jerks him to the side of the car, so that Feli's back hit the car glass and Alex locked him with both hands that he positioned next to both shoulders Feli. Two of Feli's bodyguards appeared to be on standby to see Alex's sudden action, but Feli conditioned them to leave. After the two bodyguards left, Feli also returned Alex's sharp gaze.
"Why Fel? What the hell do you think, you can make that decision without talking to me first." Alex spoke in a calm tone but his eyes were full of intimidation.
"I made your way easier, to be able to unite with Kayla. That's your dream, right?"
"Sok knows. What did you ever want me to do?"
"I know. You just love Kayla, and she's all you want. That's reason enough to be the answer to why I made that decision."
"Don't know you, Fel! I thought you understood my efforts all along to rejoice in our relationship, I thought you understood why I wanted to try to avoid him. But what are you doing here..?" Alex is getting upset.
"I know Al, that's why I'm doing this. You no longer need to try and hurt yourself, because I've withdrawn from our relationship. I'll take your offer first, I'll step down."
"The offer did not happen. None of us will back down, our relationship has gone so far and I will not let you take it away" Alex said.
Feli chuckled in wonder. "Are you Al?"
"Why are you? When I have succeeded in my efforts, even you who gave up. You are the one who hurts yourself. For what? Let me stop hurting myself, but can I just make you sick? You think I'm that cruel?!" Alex was angry.
"What do you mean.. succeeds with your efforts? I don't understand"
"Where can you understand, if you don't want to give yourself another chance to understand? You didn't give me a chance to talk to you. From yesterday you always remember me, and last night you didn't tell me anything."
"Kok you're angry anyway? I intend to unite you with the people you love, Al, I give for our good too. Make your happiness and my peace."
"I'm not asking you to admit to that crazy thing! I don't want you to give up on my happiness, Fel!" alex shouted in front of Feli's face, he was really upset.
Feli was gobsmacked, confused, and speechless. Alex pulled his hair down and gave a rough snort, then he held onto Feli's shoulders. "Fel, as long as you know, when I left to accept our match.I have accepted you as my future candidate, even though my heart is heavy and unprepared. I promise myself that I will not hurt you, even if I fail many times. I learned many things to prepare myself for you, to be a responsible husband later. I'm serious Fel.."
Degg

Unknowingly, the clear liquid that had accumulated dew in the eye fertilizers Feli is now free-falling spread on his cheek just like that. What came out of Alex's mouth was so soft touching Feli's heart, he was fixated on not being able to say a word.
