My Mr's. Virgin

Chapter XLII

He paced back and forth while putting the mobile phone beside his left ear. The phone rang across the street, but there was no answer just the voice of the female mobile operator echoing in her phone.

Not giving up, he tried again.

Dert ... dert .. dert!

["Hello!"]

["Hello! Salom, Dad,"] said.

Silent.

["What's up? You got a problem?"]

["Ti .. no,"] he answered. Wanted to say what was in his mind, but his voice seemed to be blocked by a boulder. Getting stuck in the esophagus.

["Hm! I told you not to call if you haven't met him."]

["Already,"] answered Andreas quickly, ["since my first day of foot massage here."]

["Oh, yes?"] Dad's voice sounded cheerful.

Across there was someone sitting next to my father, eavesdropping on their conversation. He is Mikel, Andreas' brother.

No need to eavesdrop actually because dad deliberately raised his phone loudspeaker. That afternoon they sat together while enjoying hot black coffee, along with bananas and fried cassava.

["When did you take him to see Dad?"]

["I won't take it. I want to cancel this match."]

["Why?"]

["In ... She, ahem ... ka .. we're not compatible."] Andreas' voice stammered.

["He-he-he!"] Dad chuckles a little. ["Dad doesn't want to know, Mariana should be Dad's daughter-in-law."]

Across the street, Mikel who heard Mariana's name kept turning her head.

["Do you know he works at a club?"]

["Know."]

["Then?"]

["Yes, now it's your job to take him back to the base."]

["Why me? Wasn't Mikel the one you'd be paired with Mariana."]

["No."] Mikel answered.

["You heard, right? After all since the beginning of that match, you. But you come home with Rena, so I asked Mikel. Mikel had refused from the beginning, Rena had also lost herself, so now I am back to my original goal of you.

Mariana has to be Dad's daughter-in-law anyway. Recognize her. There's a lot you don't know about Mariana. Don't judge a person by his exterior."]

["What if Rena comes home?"] He also lost what was stored in his mind.

Silent. Mikel's heart was pounding too, waiting for the answer to Andreas' question. Rena, the orphan girl they saved first, eventually falls for Andreas.

Knitting love until planning to ride pelamin. The plan has been arranged neatly, just waiting for his H day. But the girl lost herself a month before the wedding.

["No."] Andreas stunned. The fried banana in Mikel's mouth came to a halt.

["If he comes home, I will no longer bless your relationship. So Andreas ... Don't you expect to go back to Rena!"]

Andreas' knees felt weak, after hearing his father's words, while Mikel, his mouth gaping wide almost dropped his jaw, feeling disbelief with the sentence because his father used to like Rena very much.

'Rena, where are you?' mikel asked.

Tut-tut-tut!

Andreas shuts off the one-sided call, gazing in the void, looking at the twilight ray that holds a million memories, taking away this dark day 'to promise a happy tomorrow.

Andreas walked slowly towards Mariana's house. Her feelings became uncertain, wanting to accept this match, but her heart had no room for Mariana.

There were many reasons why she could not accept Mariana. OF LOVE? Might as well.

Getting married without love is like building a house without a foundation. The house will easily collapse, when the storm comes.

Love comes because it is used to it. Wise words of the ancients. Probably true. But for Andreas, it is very unlikely to happen, considering he is a Gynophobia (Male who is phobic of women).

After all, he is not the type of person who easily falls in love, and his love has been given to Rena.

Andreas's feet stopped fixed next to the fist bag hung beside the front door of Mariana's house. He clenched his hands, piling up the fist bag slowly.

One time, two times, three times .. The longer, the faster. The collisions are getting louder, stronger and faster. It's like a professional boxer.

All the raging feelings within him, anger, sadness, disappointment he unleashed through his collision.
