Miss Kissable & Mr. Strawberry

Insist Together

The two families meeting has just finished. The immature conclusions that can be drawn from the serious discussion are.. Feli and Alex both insist on their own decisions. Feli still wants to step down from his marriage, and marry Alex to Kayla. While Alex himself decided to continue the matchmaking, even he showed seriousness in front of his parents and also his future father-in-law. The parents can only breathe a long breath, they have resigned and handed the decision into the hands of the two brides. But in fact the two prospective brides are even strong on their respective decisions, which are opposite. So actually, there is no end result of their deliberation tonight.

"alright, son. You can continue this discussion tomorrow. Rest your mind with your body first, so that later you can discuss this again with a cold head." Said Mr. William ending their meeting, before heading home.

"Udah done, Om. Nothing needs to be done anymore. My decision remains the same, so tomorrow I'll talk about it again. I think it's just a matter of time." Reply Feli firmly.

"So, what's your plan tomorrow?" Alex asked with a sharp glare defiantly into Feli's eyes.

"Femuin Kayla family. I'm the same mom, Aunt Vanessa is coming, right, Auntie?"

Vanessa gasped, she glanced at her son who had not shifted his gaze at all from Feli.

"I know Om William agrees, so Om. tomorrow at nine in the morning" Feli said as if confirming the final decision.

Mr. William did not respond. While Feli's father was silent, confused and did not accept the hard decision of his daughter. But more than that, he certainly chose something that will make his daughter happy, although forced to agree with Feli's wishes. Agus Wardhana firmly said he would not interfere with Feli's affairs if his daughter was determined to meet with Kayla's family to discuss marriage, so Feli did not ask the father's approval for his plan tomorrow.

"So..you mean to propose to Kayla for me?" Alex asked again, his tone was low but he was furious.

Feli nodded without hesitation. Alex clucked a little while chuckling. "Without my consent, whatever you do will not go according to your plan. You're a waste of time, energy, and thought." Alex waltzed away just like that after saying that, even without saying goodbye.

Feli, and the old men who were there were silent to see Alex who continued to step up, turned his back on them. After the young man's silhouette disappeared behind the wall as he turned, Feli moved, asking for permission to catch up with Alex.

"Wait Al!"

Alex's steps stopped in the middle of the street of the courtyard of the house of Feli, right in the middle between the main house and the big gate in front there. Alex does not turn around to see the girl, he lets Feli catch up with her and aligns his steps with her.

"Please forgive me." Feli said, making Alex turn to the left to see the girl's face.

Alex snorted long to quell his anger, then he invited Feli to sit on a bench in the private garden in the spacious yard.

"I'm the one who's sorry, Fel." said Alex calmly.

Feli did not reply, he only smiled faintly.

"Can't you give us one more chance for our relationship? I know I'm wrong because it's too much of a waste of our time, but I'm really sure of your marriage." Alex is serious.

"Unfortunately the opportunity has not happened, you are late and I have decided not to continue our relationship."

"Can't you give me one more trust, Fel. I am serious from my deepest heart.I try to move on from the past, and I dedicate my future to you."

"Al, every girl has a dream. When a girl squirms in front of her eyes there is a way to achieve her dreams. But if after he has gone down that path, he realizes that it is not the way. Because if he continues the uncertain path, he is afraid of straying. She's..." Feli paused his words with a long sigh.

"But I'll walk with you, Fel. I'll hold your hand and mastiin if you won't stray." Alex continued.

Feli pulled one corner of her lips, "I want to be loved, privileged, and happy as someone who can make me feel perfect. I won't get any of that from you. I'm sorry Al, but your love is too big for Kayla. Let me dream my own dreams."

"Where would I say I love you."

Degg

Feli looked into Alex's eyes, and so did Alex. For a moment the two were fixated, Feli who cut off that gaze first.

Feli chuckled softly as he shook his head. Alex grabs Feli's hand and grabs it. "Do you believe love can come after marriage?"

"Believe." Feli nodded. "But I'm sure it won't be a barrier between you and Kayla."

"Kayla my past, Fel." Alex emphasized his words.

"Since when? Ever since she turned down the flower you love? Ever since he asked you to fight me?"

Alex frowned in protest. "I decided to fight you not because of him, but from my own heart Fel. You don't trust me as much?"

"Your question and Kayla's question are the same. The thoughts of you two, the same. Even the way you understand each other is the same. It's not just the way you understand each other, but your assumptions about me are the same. You both say that I don't believe you, Al."

Alex rolled his eyeballs, frustrated. "How can I convince you that I'm SERIOUS, Fel."

"There's no way, Al. You just need as much as I've arranged, I'll take care of everything, make your marriage with Kayla."

"THERE'S NO WEDDING!" alex sternly half-screeched.

Feli had gasped with Alex's words that were suddenly angry, the two stared at each other. Alex stood facing Feli, so Feli had to look up at him. "If you don't want to accept me, I won't accept your decision either" he said.

"You don't want to marry Kayla?" asked Feli a little trepidation.

"No." Alex replied directly.

"You love her, the only reason you want to marry young is because you love Kayla, Al. Now that marriage is about to materialize, you don't.."

"I said NO, Fel!"

Feli was stunned.

"You can't tell me how and who to marry. You have no right to make a decision for me, Fel. If you want our matchmaking to be here enough, okay. But get me married to Kayla..." Alex shook his head steadily. "No!"

Alex turned around and left, while Feli was stunned. Moments later, Feli stood up, uttering words that brought Alex to a standstill.

"Love me for one reason, why did you reject Kayla's marriage!"

Alex turns around, but just stands in place without getting close to Feli. "You."

Feli.

"You're the reason. I chose you." Alex said again.

Feli shook his head, "You don't love me."

"So you don't believe me." Alex replied.

"Nobody believe?!" wonder Feli. "I've always believed in you before. I'm patient, I understand you, I wait. With my sense of belief getting thinner and thinner because you're in vain."

"I'm talking about Fel now, not before. I know how bad I was before this, I just need a chance from you to fix it. I'm serious about righting my wrongs, I seriously want to be happy with you. I need your trust once more." this time Alex's tone of voice was smoother, he looked at Feli inside, and said it solemnly.

Feli turned his face away from Alex. While Alex was still looking at him, stunned, sneering at Feli looking away.

"You are my mistake is unforgivable, you can leave me alone.  Don't make me make a new mistake, Fel."

"Again my decision to marry Kayla, you call it a new mistake, Al?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Feli laughed a little, discordant. "Trus, if I'm going to continue the matchmaking..that's not a mistake?"

"I don't mean your meaning. I just want to fix my mistakes and be the best for you. But if you feel burdened with this matchmaking, I have no right to forbid you to withdraw."

"Not all this time you who feel this matchmaking is a burden?"

Feli laughed again, he shook his head without even looking at Alex. "Funny yeah. When I invited you to fight together, the rest of the room was still in place. Now I've advanced on my own without waiting for you again, and don't want to look back again, eh.... You even chase me?"

"I don't want you to look at me for a minute, make a look at my apology." Feli changed his face after hearing Alex's words.

"You don't like me chasing, you can at least get a glimpse of me. Make sure I fight alone." continued Alex.

"Why the hell Al, do you like to waste time? Not everything happens according to our will, sometimes the opportunity only comes once. If we are in vain, yes we must accept failure."

Alex stunned.

"But failure doesn't mean we're out of road. Maybe with that failure God wants to tell us that something we can't achieve is not destined for us."

Feli says it's not just for Alex, but also for himself. Feli chose to release Alex because he believes Alex is not his match. Feli is already fighting for Alex's love, but he fails. Right now Alex is asking for a chance from him, asking for his hand to walk together, but Feli can't take it. Because Feli's struggle was already at the end of the line, Feli did not allow his heart to be broken anymore.

"So.. are you blush? Sorry I was being too selfish, Fel." Alex stepped forward towards Feli who was standing about 4-5 meters in front of him.

"Jerah in the sense of succumbing to Al, not despair." replied Feli calmly.

"Are you sure you want to fight on a new path? By yourself?" ask Alex again.

"Yes." Yeah."

Alex looked straight up as he stepped. Feli who felt looked at by Alex, was a little restless but his expression remained calm.

"I'm sorry, but that doesn't mean I agree with you. Let me determine for myself what I want to achieve, Al."

Alex stopped a meter in front of Feli. "Thank you Fel. As much as you love me, how much effort you've put in me, thank you so much. Maybe I just can't keep it all the way you expect. Please forgive me, Fel." she said sincerely.

"Everything that I have worked for you, and that which I love you, is out of love, Al. Something done in the name of love has nothing to lose. I don't feel right, the feeling that wasn't until it turned into the best experience, and a valuable lesson for me. So, you don't have to feel guilty for not being able to bale."

"When you love me, why do you refuse me Fel?"

"Love doesn't just have to have, Al. There is love reciprocated, there is also love that claps one hand. Besides, love is a gift. Not everyone sees the gift with the same view. But the point remains the same, God wants to see how we nurture and treat that gift, and God will surely give us what after that. But one of the most important things is that God doesn't like it when we're desperate."

Alex nodded, he pulled the corner of his lips after seeing Feli smile.

"I'll be happy if you accept my decision" said Feli.

"I'd rather be on my own terms, if that doesn't concern you, Fel."

Feli's smile faded, he escaped the view in the other direction. He felt restless again, but soon Alex continued the paused sentence, expecting Feli's willingness.

"You are sure not to continue the matchmaking, no papa. I can't make sense, and I can't be selfish either. So yes the point is, there will be no marriage." Feli looked at Alex again after hearing that.

Alex chuckled lightly, "Maybe our soul mate is still far away. Man is too hasty to plan, trus God negur.if their plan is in vain without involving God."

Feli chuckled, he nodded in agreement. "But I'm sure Kayla is your soul mate. I think God loves His clue a lot, and maybe I'm an intermediary too."

"I don't know what God wants. But for now, from this second on. oh no, I mean. starting a few minutes ago.. " Feli laughed amusedly at it, Alex's initially serious speech turned funny when Alex corrected his last sentence earlier. Alex laughed so much that he paused.

"What's Al?" ask Feli curious.

"Yes, so I'm mutusin. to forget about marriage."

Feli blinked slowly, his forehead frowning slightly. He thought he was digesting Alex's words this time. "I'm not getting married anytime soon, Fel." explains Alex.

"I..." Feli tried to give understanding, but Alex immediately shook his head, he refused and did not allow Feli to talk.

"Fel, you must have thought, with you I'm the same Kayla then you will be relieved and make me the same Kayla happy." Feli nodded, but Alex shook his head making Feli clueless.

"You know, your plan is realized, which means I married Kayla as you see fit.There really isn't going to be anyone happy, Fel. Neither you, me, Kayla, nor our parents will anyone be truly happy."

Feli fell silent, between justifying Alex's words and not believing him. "But you two love each other" he said later.

"Who said?"

"I know, Al. From the past too -.."

"Past and present are not necessarily the same, Fel. Did Kayla say she still loves me?"

"No, he's not going to be honest with me. You are that too."

"Don't know!" reproach Alex. "Somehow if it's true or not. I won't really be happy to marry her."

"Because it's not certain to get blessing?" Feli guessed the reason.

Alex shook his head, "Because things have changed, relationships have changed, and hearts don't know. But right now I'm sure to forget about marriage and love."

Feli raised both eyebrows while raising his lips. "And you're sure Kayla will think the same?"

Alex poked his shoulder, "Where do I know. It would be better if 'yes' right."

"Especially not. I don't agree." Feli shook his head while smiling.

Alex chuckles, "Jaudah. Please argue with each."

"But I'll stay mastiin.. Kayla agrees with my decision or not."

Alex rolled his eyes lazily. "Whatever! If I say, mending you think of yourself rather than bother yourself to make something futile."

"Cock in vain?" sewot Feli won't take it.

"He wouldn't agree."

"You agree, how?" challenge Feli while smiling sideways and raising one eyebrow.

"I have no." said Alex lightly, he spread his shoulders while turning to leave Feli.

"Al! If he agrees, you agree!" Sounds like a compulsion rather than an offer.

Alex paid no heed to Feli, and instead continued on without looking back.
