Second Destiny

21

While at the Afnan residence, this morning after breakfast, Ayu came to visit by motorcycle. The girl was ready with her official clothes to invite. But I don't know what the purpose of his arrival was no one knows. Ayu did not say anything in the message and just came straight away without any notice at all. To make the Afnan residence people wonder especially Afnan.

“Please enter nak. Afnan is inside.” Rana's mother invited Ayu in and also sat in the living room of their residence.

Not long ago Afnan immediately went to the living room to meet Ayu after hearing the arrival of Ayu which made her shocked from the mother.

Afnan immediately sat on the sofa opposite Ayu, “What's wrong? Why did you come to me so early?” asked Afnan while looking at his watch which still shows at half-eight.

“I'm sorry brother. I'm sorry, too, Mami Rana. My arrival here without prior notice may surprise you. But this is what I have to do when you want to cancel the match between me and Brother Afnan. This matchmaking has been planned and you agreed before as our parents. Me and Brother Afnan only participated in the match even though we did not want it from the beginning. But for now, the match cannot be canceled anymore because I accept the match wholeheartedly. I am willing to be your son's wife.” Saying Ayu Long.

Afnan and Mami Rana who heard that were shocked and looked at each other, “Ayu, not that from the beginning we had agreed that we would not continue this matchmaking. We have the right to choose the partner we want ourselves. Then why is it like this? Why did you change.” Afnan.

Ayu smiled at Afnan's words, “Maybe when I said that I was drunk so that words of rejection and stupid sentences like that can be thrown. I no longer want that and let's just say that we never said it and we never agreed because what I want now is to continue the matchmaking. You as parents who started this matchmaking but to end it then I will do it myself. Don't make this matchmaking fail.” Ayu.

Afnan who heard Ayu's words growled while clenching his hands. But he couldn't possibly punch a girl. So he could only temper his anger with his fists that were getting tighter. Maybe even so tight. His palm was injured. But he doesn't care about it. Right now what he wants is what makes Ayu deny all his words, the deal they have made and now turn to want an arranged marriage between them. Aish, it sucks when she starts planning what she's going to do for the next few months.

“Nak, why did you change your mind like that? You have agreed not to continue the matchmaking we have made. But why now so this is when we want to cancel the match.” Mami Rana.

Ayu also looked at Mami Rana, “Mih, sorry if later the words that will come out of my mouth will be rough and painful. But this is what I have to say. This marriage began with you. You offered the matchmaking to my parents so they accepted the matchmaking offer. Then why when my parents had hoped with this matchmaking you came so easily to cancel our matchmaking. Do you think our pride is not hurt. We feel like we have been thrown out after we were not needed. So for that I also changed my mind. I want this match to continue. No cancellations in the slightest.” Ayu.

Afnan who heard it stood up then shook his head, “No, I don't accept this. Don't torture yourself Ayu. You know who owns my heart. I will not be able to give my heart to you because he was the owner of it. I disagree with continuing the match. Never will agree.” Afnan.

“Who would say such a bad thing. Then when do you even care about the words of people like that. I can't do this in the name of pride. It doesn't matter to me if my pride is destroyed. And for your pride and your family, we can work on something else. Please don't do this Ayu. I can't. Marrying a girl I don't love will only cause pain. That's what I've been avoiding for a long time. Enough I hurt a girl's heart so I have to suffer loss. I don't want that anymore. Thats enough. Don't anymore.” Afnan.

“Do not change the principle of life only in the name of self-esteem. We have the right to achieve what we want. Don't sacrifice love. That's what I got in a few years.” continued Afnan.

“But I can change the principle of life in the name of self-esteem. Self-esteem is number one for me.” said Ayu.

“Don't be stubborn Ayu. We will only hurt ourselves by forcing to continue this matchmaking.” said Afnan had almost lost his patience.

“Where do we know we will hurt each other if we continue this matchmaking. We haven't tried it yet why have given up.” Ayu.

“Wedding is not something that Ayu can try. When we are bored we give up. I don't want to play with something as sacred as marriage. Married to me quite once and it will be I do with my loved ones.” Afnan.

“Nak Ayu, this is mami's fault. Sorry about that. Let my mom solve this problem. You take it easy everything will be fine.” said Mami Rana finally after being quiet enough and observing Afnan and Ayu who cling to their stance.

Honestly, he was also quite surprised by the changes made by Ayu for this matchmaking. Before that, the girl made the deal. Mami Rana also did not expect the discussion of the matchmaking cancellation that she did three days ago would be like this. They agreed to cancel the match when their two children disagreed.

“In what way did you cope with his Mih?”
