"Tar, don't tell this to me. And you don't have to ask why, because I'm sure you know why."
"i know's. I will keep it a secret, and keep my mouth shut tightly but on one condition. If you agree, then brother's secret is safe but if not. um..."
"What's the condition?" ask Kenan with resignation.
"I want to meet my sister-in-law's candidate" Mentari said as she lowered her eyebrows, as well as the hand she extended to Kenan.
"I haven't started approaching him yet, and you've asked me to take you? Is that true?" Kenan let out a long sigh, and stared pensively at Mentari.
"It doesn't have to be now. At least after big brother succeeded with the first step Kenan kak approach with the girl, how? Deal?"
"Well, I don't have a choice." Mentari also smiled triumphantly, when her brother shook his hand as a sign of the cooperation of the two.
After their first meeting, Kenan continued to find out all the information he could get from the girl named Yurika Agnesia.
After knowing all the information he needs, Kenan emboldened himself to start approaching the beautiful girl. She frequented Yurika's house, and she was very happy that Yurika responded well.
And like his promise to Mentari, he often brought Mentari to the house of Yurika. They looked even more familiar, after meeting a few times. Even Mentari often went to Yurika's house without Kenan, she felt that Yurika was a perfect older sister and friend.
Over time, Mentari Bahkam became closer to Yurika than her own sister's closeness to the girl. Kenan proposes to Yurika and takes her home, to introduce her to her parents.
But who would have thought, when he came with Yurika, the father actually invited a girl of his choice. The girl she chose as Kenan's wife, the girl she thought she deserved to be with her son. Girls from the same group, with their families.
That's right, Kenan's father knew everything from the beginning. He put a shadow bodyguard around Kenan, who continued to monitor whatever activity Kenan was doing. And why has he been silent all this time? It was because he wanted to humiliate Yurika. He wanted Yurika to be aware of her position! She wanted Yurika to realize that she was very far from the criteria she wanted, as a potential daughter-in-law.
Yurika was very sad and devastated by that. Kenan's father deliberately brought the woman of his choice, to be the subject of comparison. But luckily Kenan kept defending her, she even fought with her father for her sake.
Honestly speaking, Yurika felt very moved at that moment. But he also felt very sad and guilty, as he heard Kenan's father's words back then. The words that made the father and son relationship between them instantly fall apart!
"Dad! All this time I've obeyed everything you wanted! I buried my dream as a musician, and learned business to fulfill your ambition! I gave up my youth that I should have gone through by playing like other children, just to learn, learn and learn! And for this time, I will no longer obey your wishes, father! I won't!"
"Henner William! How dare you yell at your father, for the sake of such a poor woman!" she said, "I gave you two choices. Follow my wishes, and leave him! Or get out of this house, and I'll get your name removed from William's family!"
"As you wish, father." Hearing that Kenan's father smiled for a moment, but really only for a moment. As Kenan continued, "I am leaving William's family. From today on this very second, I am no longer part of the William family! We go Yuri," exclaimed Kenan in a high tone, and she immediately took Yurika away from there.
He thought all the problems were over, because he had assets in his own name from his own hard work for his living expenses and his wife. But it turns out that he was too naive, his father was not that easy to let go of him. He continues to harass her by carrying out various kinds of terror, until Kenan decides to run away and use his skills to create data about himself and his small family, cannot be easily accessed by others.
That he did so that his father, did not find his whereabouts and continued to try to disturb him. And the plan was successful, until he and Yurika were gifted two beautiful little fairies. They named her Maria and Marisa.
Kenan's father eventually fell ill, regretting his decision. Even until the end of his life, he had not had time to apologize to Kenan and Yurika.
And Mentari himself also never again met with Kenan or Yurika, whose existence is like lost in the swallow of the earth. He really misses his brother and sister-in-law.
#Flashback off
"J-so I mean auntie, I'm aunty's nephew?" Marisa asked in a daze, as if half of her soul had already flown into the afterlife.
"True Marisa. But it doesn't affect your and Kenzo's relationship, because our family and Kenzo aren't brothers. Our family is just closer, so there's no reason to refuse your marriage."
"T-but grannyโ"
"Don't think about it. Believe me, Grandma Riana will be the happiest person knowing her granddaughter is married to me," Mentari said, making Marisa frown.
The happiest man? Even a few days ago, Riana's grandmother still gave her a pile of money, only to drive her away from Kenzo's side.
"Grandma owes your father a debt of gratitude. He loved your father very much. After all he rejected you on the grounds of your differences, it was only because he still could not let go of his past. Riana's grandmother had been hurt by people she loved, people who had promised to love her but it turns out she only wanted to use Riana's grandmother. That was why Riana's grandmother strongly forbade her grandchildren, having relationships with lower middle class people.
Marisa also understood. Now that she was relieved, at least she finally found out that Riana's grandmother did not hate her, but only to protect her granddaughter.
And Marisa is also happy, because it turns out she still has a big family. The big family he once wanted so badly to have. He wants to have grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and other family. But his father instead tells him, if only they are left. No other relatives, just the four of them.
"Oh yeah, where do you live?" he asked, "Ehm.I mean, you, your brother, father, and mother. I miss your mom and dad so much, I want to see them again."
The deg!
