LONDON, ENGLAND.
That morning, was the most annoying day for a man who was just awake from his sleep. How not? in the morning his cell phone rang, and a man from across the phone cheerfully informed him that he had registered an arranged marriage for her.
"Jhonathan Basin! He thinks I can't find a woman by myself? He really underestimated me. Just look, I'll teach him a lesson." furious Thomas, because his beautiful dreams must be disturbed, by the actions of his best friend and superior.
Thomas stared at his disheveled face and messy hair in front of the mirror, looking around if something was wrong with him. Putting aside the fact that he was still faithfully single for 10 years, Thomas chose indifferently and did not want to get dizzy by thinking about it. But it was a little strange, compared to Jonathan, he was more attractive and young. It's just that, because of the stitch scar on her forehead, it slightly affected her charm. But even so, he still looks handsome. And, it is impossible if no woman is interested in her.
Ten years single, without the affection of someone special, did not blind Thomas's mind to have fun with just any woman, or just to play with other people's feelings. He is a responsible, reliable man. Likewise with the story of the poignant, the tragedy of his love in adolescence, or, it might be the cause of Thomas chose single until now.
Thomas was only 17 years old. He falls in love with a girl who is his childhood friend, also along with Jhonathan. In contrast to his, at that time Jhonathan spent more time with learning, because his competition and Alexander had indeed started since childhood.
As time went on, Thomas and the girl's togetherness became increasingly difficult to separate. Day after day, time goes on, the feeling is like a small bud that continues in fertilizer, then the more day, the bigger it is.
Until one day, bitter reality is revealed. Her adorable girl is engaged to another man. The marriage plan was political, and at that time he could do nothing. There was no treasure, money, or power that he could rely on to thwart the engagement. Can only accept, and hope that early matchmaking will end in failure.
Until the end of all the heart-torturing love journeys, exactly a few years after the engagement. When Thomas has just completed his education at University College London (UCL), he must be faced with the reality, the girl he loves is married to another man. For that, he did not want to regret it for a lifetime. By gathering all his courage, he expressed his heart that had been stored, his feelings that had been felt all along.
No answer came out of the girl's mouth, but it was clear that although she also loved Thomas, it would be too late for them to be together, because the marriage was already in place. She has officially become the wife of another man, as well as Thomas who has officially lost the woman who was his first love.
After that day of confession, their relationship was completely over. They are no longer in contact, nor merely to exchange news. That's the end of Thomas' past love, which will be a beautiful, dark love story.
Now, Thomas is spending his breakfast, of course accompanied by solitude. Sepi, her heart.
After finishing breakfast, as usual, he rushed to the company. Work and continue to work diligently, without knowing the word tired, and bored.

In the evening, instead of resting, he had to go to the appointment place, with a woman from the matchmaking bureau. Actually he was lazy, but because he was consumed by the persuasion of Jonathan, he was finally willing to meet the woman who was chosen his best friend.
"Thomas"
"Candle"
Shake hands, throw smiles at each other. After taking action, none of them reopened their voices. Silent, that awkward atmosphere really made the heart tormented. Not knowing what to say, making Thomas had to think hard to melt the atmosphere.
"Order food?"
"Yes" replied the girl cheerfully. Calling the waiter, they began to choose food. Silent! damn it, after all, the atmosphere came back awkward. Thomas gave up, for the first time he did that, of course he did not know what to do.
"Mr Thomas...."
"Hm? Just call me Thomas, there's no need to be too formal."
"Ah. yea. Actually, I really admire you, Thomas." said Lili timidly. He did not dare to look at Thomas properly, could only bow his head, and sometimes secretly stole the man's gaze before him.
"Me... admire me? Why, when and what?" Thomas did not understand the woman's intentions, he thought it might just be a false compliment, because they had only met for the first time. It's impossible, if the woman directly admires him, right?
"How do you know? Did Jonathan say that?"
Yeah, if not who else? No one knew Thomas better than Jonathan. The teenage years they have, of course, are not a short time to get to know each other.
"Em, that...."
"First, my sister-in-law used to tell me about you. Her childhood friend, who was sweet and kind. So, when I saw the form that Kak Jhonathan submitted to the matchmaking bureau, I immediately took it, and asked them to match me with you. And, incidentally, my friend is the owner of the matchmaking bureau, so there is no refutation of my selfish desires." explains Lili, although it is quite embarrassing to admit by a woman. However, in order not to cause misunderstandings between Thomas and himself, inevitably he had to tell the truth.
Thomas made a gawk with his, involuntarily his mouth wide open hearing the beautiful girl's explanation.
(*Uthor actually already saturated say beautiful, but want to say ugly scared in bully🏳)
"Sister... sister-in-law?! Who?" Thomas seemed very nervous when he asked that question, his biggest concern was someone he might know, or even, someone who had been in the recesses of his heart.
"Sister April"
The deg! Suddenly, a strange feeling hit Thomas in the chest. Pain, but not visible. His heart pumps quickly, up and down irregularly. Tight, really since, like something's stuck in there. Deep, deep in his heart.
Thomas is silent, his brain is digesting either what he has to do or what he says, if it turns out Lili also knows the reality of his love that claps one hand. Thomas' body began to tremble, he clenched his hands firmly, and as much as possible tried to keep a calm look.
"You must know Aprilia, right? In the past, when we were walking together, she used to tell me about her friends, and you. Oh yeah, your favorite food, and everything else about you, everything I know." The girl spoke cheerfully, as if she had known Thomas well. Without shame, he even showed me his phone. Photos of him and the woman he called Brother, are displayed there. What an envious closeness, they look familiar in the photo, smiling and embracing each other.
"Ba...how, the circumstances? How's April doing?" asked Thomas nervously. Not minding Lili's words before her, all she wanted to know was the state of the woman from her past.
"Eh? Brother April?" Lili was silent for a moment, thinking about the way or rather what word would be appropriate to say to Thomas.
Thomas was able to see Lili's puzzled look on her face, making her wonder 'Is that as difficult as her answer, or has something bad happened between them?' the longer the answer was hung, the greater Thomas's suspicion.
"Is April okay? Why do I feel something is wrong, that happened to her. Oh my God, I hope he's okay. Really, for a couple of years, I really missed her, but I didn't hate distance, because it was the best. But why, I feel restless? I'm afraid she's unhappy with her marriage, or she's tormented."

SOUTH KALIMANTAN, INDONESIA.
A young and handsome man, silently pecked in front of a grand mansion. He has been a full day, traveling for hours on his motorbike. He was in front of the big house now, but he did not expect it. First, someone he knew was standing in front of him.
The woman smiled kindly at him,
greet and greet gently. Instead of feeling happy to meet someone he had missed, the man actually felt sad, as if there was a small invisible needle, which stuck in his chest. Moreover, seen the figure of the man standing next to the woman, the man who looks very friendly with her.
He wanted to run away and hide, not wanting to be seen how miserable he was right now, by the woman he liked. But what power, destiny brings them together now. Someone who makes his heart hurt, but he can't hate. He took a few steps back, trying to calm himself down, as much as possible to look fine.
A bitter smile rose on his lips, though slightly, he tried to look as natural as possible.
