NOT A PAYCHECK

04

With heated eyes, Panji looked at the red velvet box that had just been returned by Zara. the girl whom He had been worshipping and had long been courting. Only a week ago Panji ventured to propose to the girl of his heart and at that time Panji saw a happy hue on the face of Zara who received the Ring of Binder while giving, and at that time also Panji saw a happy hue on the face of Zara who received the Ring of Binding, but who would have thought a week after Zara instead returned this ring because it received an arranged marriage from her parents.

Is he not good? less established? until Zara's parents match up with another man, I don't know Panji doesn't understand why Zara's parents betrothed Zara to another man. Because all this time if Panji had a need and came to Zara's house, Zara's parents' response was so good to her, he said, even Ibu Zara alone was very close to Panji maybe it makes Panji still not believe if Zara was even betrothed to another man.

"What's wrong with your face? why does it look so lethargic?" Joni Panji's father was astonished to stare at his son's face after leaving tonight.

Panji was saying goodbye to Joni if you want to meet Zara Panji lover but why go home even his face looks sour, of course this is the concern of Joni as a single parent Panji.

"It looks like I'm not getting married to Zara" Panji explained sitting on the sofa next to Joni.

"Why? don't you like that girl?" astonished Joni, when just last week Panji asked permission to marry the girl but now he changed his mind.

The pennant breathed a long sigh, "Zara, betrothed to another man."

"WHAT!"

Instantly Joni's emotions overflowed hearing the explanation from her son's Panji.

Meanwhile, Zara had just entered her home. He was so lethargic and sad that even his greeting was so slow that he was not heard by his parents who were sitting in the living room waiting for Zara to come home.

"Zara.." The father's voice made Zara stop her steps and sit down with her parents.

"What's up, huh? Zara was tired of going to sleep immediately" said Zara in a soft voice made Sang Ayan a little hit by seeing her daughter who was so sad about this reality.

Bahar took a deep breath before finally saying something to Zara's surprise, "If you really want to reject this matchmaking, just say Nak let Dad later say the same to Mr. Anggara."

Zara shook her head softly, "God willing, Zara accepts Dad."

"Dad will not force you at all, son, instead you like the man who often comes to the house, ah what's his name."

"Panji Bag Dad." Zara replied.

"Yes that's Nak Panji, you like him too, son? your mother said you've even been proposed to her?" ask Bahar to his daughter.

Zara shook her head again, "Zara has returned the gold ring Panji Yah.

"Zara received a proposal from Mr. Anggara's son, God willing, Zara sincerely Father" replied Zara, looking down.

"I'm sorry Dad, it's all Dad's fault" Bahar said with tears in his eyes.

"It's Dad, maybe it's Zara's fate. We just pray that our daughter will be happy with her partner later" Asih said to her husband.

"If you hadn't said anything like that to Mr. Anggara, maybe none of this would have happened. I thought it used to be a joke but who would have thought Mr. Anggara took seriously what Dad said at that time,

"Zara, I'm really sorry." Bahar said regretfully.

"It's Dad, it's all happened. Zara was right to be sincere if indeed she was Zara's soul mate." Zara said she could not bear to see her father who turned out to be down just like her.

"We let Zara rest Dad, it's night and tomorrow Zara has to teach" said Asih who was immediately embraced by Bahar.

"Yes, take a break if you're tired."

Tok ... tok...

"Bahar, open the door Bahar!" the voice of someone from the outside shocked Zara and her parents.

"Who is this night?" astonished, he got up and walked to open the door.

"Where's Bahar!" joni's mouth immediately entered the house and stared intently at Bahar.

"What's this?" tanya Bahar was confused.

Bahar had known Joni from a neighboring village, just to get to know her and now Bahar was confused by the arrival of Joni who looked very angry.

"What's my son's fault until you get to him?" joni asked in anger, making Zara surprised.

Zara only realized at a glance the face of her father's guest was very similar to Panji, and could it be that the guest was Panji's Father?

Zara silently lowered her head as she occasionally looked towards the guest who was looking at her hatefully.

"What do you mean?" tanya Bahar still doesn't understand.

"My son Panji proposed to your daughter, and your daughter has already accepted Panji's proposal but why now your daughter has returned the ring on the grounds that she was your match!"

"What do you mean? are you trying to insult my family?" clearly Joni with a cynical tone.

Bahar who now understands also seems to breathe out, he said,

"Sit down first, let's talk good." invite Bahar but directly rejected raw raw by Joni.

"No, I don't want to sit in a shabby chair like this" said Joni who immediately made Zara lift her face in disbelief.

If it is angry, why also have to insult the inner Zara staring at the guest with annoyance.

"Don't you know who I am? I am the owner of the forecourt in the next village, my land has hectares.

"And you are not who, just a poor family but very brave to reject my son's proposal" Joni said in a derogatory tone to make Zara hurt while Bahar the father smiled in response to Joni's words.

"It looks like my daughter chose the right man" Bahar said to the surprise of everyone.

"What do you mean?"

"From having to marry your son and maybe later you can step on his pride because we are from a poor family, it's better that she marry by my choice who might appreciate her and not look down on us." Bahar made Zara look straight at her.

Joni seemed to clench her hands, staring at Bahar full of hatred.

"I'll make sure your family will suffer for making me suffer this humiliation" Joni said, walking out of Zara's house.

"Dad..." Zara immediately rushed into the arms of the father while crying.

"God willing, your choice is right son" said Bahar, patting Zara on the back.

Zara nodded in agreement, since long ago she was from a simple family.before no one had come to insult her family like before. This is the first time anyone has come and insulted his family.

Now Zara is grateful to have returned the ring from Panji mas and not be paired with Panji mas.

If only he had remained married to Mas Panji, maybe his whole life would have always received humiliation from Mas Panji's arrogant father.

SERIATE...
