"Then, how are we, Luis? The invitation is not spread. I also can't step up if this is the case. It's too painful for me. Really am! I don't want to get you in trouble either." Vita stared at the man she had chosen as her priest.
The reason expressed by Luis, in fact successfully shook his soul. Vita was really scared.
"I asked oma to understand and appreciate what I had chosen, Vit. However, he still gave the conditions for that," replied Luis honestly.
Vita. Baffled. Should he continue this painful conversation. Or they just stop. But, can that be? If it stops, it will only foster a dilemma in the heart.
"May I know that condition, Luis?" vita asked, to find out what the Luis family really wanted from this marriage.
"As we talked about the other day, Vit. He wants, we do not delay the baby. But if in a year's time we don't have a baby, then I should be ready to marry the woman of his choice. I can't afford to beat you up, Vit. Really!" luis replied, squeezing his fingers, worried.
Vita was silent for a moment. Her tears fell down without her being able to hold any more. How not? At first Vita was so confident that Luis's family could accept his family's circumstances as they were. And now, everything changes over time.
It all seemed sudden to him. Truly, at this moment, Vita felt her neck choked by this matter. A reality he could reject. But he also cannot force someone to accept it.
"I'm sorry Vit, when in Bali yesterday, actually I ..." said Luis, hesitating.
"Yes, I know what you mean, Uis. You hurt me to keep me away from you. So that I may withdraw from this marriage. Without the continuous pain, right?" guess Vita is sad.
"Yes, Vit. Before we took the prewed photos, I and oma had a big fight about this. I'm sorry, for not telling yourself this straight away. But believe me, I was confused at the time. I was angry with him then. Why at the end did he just say that he didn't want this wedding. Why not from the beginning? I also felt short of breath Vit. I don't know what to do?" Luis turned away from Vita. Because he didn't want Vita to see his tears.
Vita was silent for a moment. Trying to dampen the turmoil that occurred in his heart. In fact, the problems they face are not as simple as a game. Luis is the only son and successor of the Anggara family. Where is it possible that Dena will just let go of this man for women who are judged to be less than their family standards. And Vita realized that.
"No Vit! We fought until here. Please let me have you. As we walk, we try to heal the heart of the oma. I hope to get his blessing in the time he gives us" Luis replied steadily.
"Well if that's your decision, I'll go with Luis. But what if in a predetermined time we are unable to get blessing from it? What if in that one year we have not been blessed with a baby? Are we going to give up in that time Luis?" ask Vita to make sure.
"We'll think about it later, Vit. We fight first for the blessing of oma. We're still married, you wanna fight with me?" luis asked as he looked into the eyes of the woman he was fighting with to step together toward happiness. For some reason, Luis was sure, if he and Vita could melt the old woman's heart.
"Yes Luis, let's fight. I will stand by you until God will not let us be together again. I want to fight with you" replied Vita steady. There's no choice for him anymore. Back off, that's impossible. The invitation is spread. The wedding date is just a few days away. He may have embarrassed his family.
From Luis' side it was easy. They're rich people. Could be a substitute bride. Then what about her. Vita is sure, if he fails to marry, that there must be scorn for the people and Vita is very sick of the scorn. Vita just doesn't want to add a slanted look to her family.
***
Here it is not just Vita and Luis who are fighting for the continuity of their relationship. Stella and Juan were shocked when they received a request for DNA testing from Berliana's family.
They wanted to do that on the grounds that they were free to meet with Berliana and register the pretty boy into their heirs.
However, this is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand. On inheritance, Juan was a little offended. Because he himself can support Berliana. He felt able to provide a decent life for his daughter.
Juan and Stella, therefore, would not allow Zein's parents to touch their daughter.
