With a slow step Azriel entered and approached all those who were sitting and were heard talking about their betrothal.
"Azriel, Honey. Come here, son," said Farah who immediately pulled Azriel to sit next to him.
Azriel sat beside Farah. However, his gaze was sharply staring at his biological mother. Where his mother was just silent when Farah's mother discussed their matchmaking problems, while he had rejected it when a few days ago his mother told him and he had said, he had said, if he doesn't want that match.
Khanza who was stared at by her son also looked back at her husband, Abidzar.
"What's this, Mom?" azriel looked at her two mothers, one mother Farah and one mother Khanza.
"Look, son," said Farah, who began their conversation, he could see that Khanza would not talk about their matchmaking.
"I think you already know about our plan to match you with Lucia," said Farah making Lucia who had been smiling at Azriel.
"Mom" said Azriel, staring at Khanza.
"Mbak Farah's sorry, but it looks like Azriel turned down this matchup and I don't think we should have forced it if they didn't like each other. Hadn't we discussed it before "said Khanza felt bad with Dav, he had discussed it a few days ago.
Khanza had already told Farah that Azriel had refused their betrothal, leading her to think that perhaps Farah could understand and would not come and continue the match, he is very surprised when Farah comes to bring Lucia and Dev, not to mention Farah says that Lucia will live and study at the same campus as Azriel later. Where on campus Lucia herself is finished with her S1 education.
"Azriel, try it first, son. You have known since childhood, you also have loved each other, it never hurts to try to get closer to your relationship."
"But Mom, I..."
"Mom did not ask you to marry Lucia directly, just you get engaged first, if indeed after getting engaged later you feel you are not suitable you can end your engagement, Lucia has agreed to it, it is, dear," said Farah, making Lucia again nod in agreement and look at Azriel with a look of desire.
Meanwhile, Aisyah just stood on the 2nd floor listening to their chat, she herself did not agree if her brother married Lucia, she would rather if her brother was with Mentari. Although he already considered Lucia like his own sister, they were also familiar. However, still he can feel if Lucia is not the right person for his brother, he understands very well what Lucia's nature is.
"I want to talk to Lucia before making a decision, Mom," Azriel said, then passed from the room, their relationship had been quite good and he did not want to make the relationship between their two families become tenuous just because of his disrespectful rejection in front of Dev.
Azriel who chose to enter her room was followed by Aisha who also entered.
"Sister, did you agree to get engaged to Lucia's sister? I don't agree Sis," said Aisyah quickly after entering her brother's room, not forgetting she also closed the door.
"Then why didn't you refuse him?" ask Aisyah.
"Of course you'll reject her, but not now, you'll talk to Lucia first. Brother will explain it if indeed we can not match, brother appreciates Uncle Dev," said Azriel while undressing, he wanted to take a bath. A day of walking with Mentari makes him feel sultry.
Just as Azriel was taking off her clothes, Lucia came in and looked directly at the two of them, since she had heard the conversation.
"Lucia, what the fuck? You can't knock on the door before entering" said Azriel, who was wearing her shirt.
"Whatchu mean? Have you been with Mentari? Shouldn't you give me a chance first?"
Azriel sighed at Lucia's words, "Look, I never agreed to anything that our parents decided, even from the beginning I refused. You know that too. So, please understand. I don't love you at all, Lucia! I only love you like a sister, just like I love Aisyah. So, again I beg you not to complicate our brotherhood with your selfishness."
"You're selfish, I love you and you already know that, right? Then why are you ignoring me? Please accept our parents' plan. Ziel, I promise that in a year if I can't make you love me I'll leave you and let you be with Mentari, I beg you."
"One year? One day I can't be with you Lucia! Let alone one day an hour I can't admit if we want to try to be in a relationship, because I already have a lover and I don't want to hurt Mentari's feelings."
"You are evil Azriel! You keep the feelings of Mentari, but you don't keep my feelings, you hurt my feelings."
"I have absolutely no intention of hurting your feelings, but that's the fact. I loved Mentari long before you said you loved me. Lucia, I beg you. Appreciate my decision, I can't force my feelings to love you either now or for another year, my love is only for Mentari."
Lucia continues to try to convince Azriel to give her a chance, she even shed tears for Azriel to give her a chance. However, Azriel still could not, even though she felt sorry to see Lucia, her childhood friend who begged her. However, he could not hurt Mentari, he had promised Mentari would solve the problems they would face.
Aisyah just looked at Lucia, she was increasingly disliked by the character of Lucia, she even compared Lucia in heart to Mentari. Aisyah prefers Mentari to be her sister-in-law.
"Lucia, please come out of my room. Aisyah please take Lucia out, I want to take a shower. I want to rest we will discuss tomorrow," Azriel said looking at her sister, making Aisyah understand and immediately took Lucia out of the room, even though Lucia refused. However, Aisyah kept pulling him and kept saying that they were better off talking when Azriel had calmed down. They should talk about it both somewhere else not in the room.
"Aisha, tell me you support me or support Mentari to be your sister's companion?" asked Lucia looking at Aisha. Aisyah fell silent, of course she chose Mentari. However, just like Azriel, he keeps Lucia feeling, they are together since childhood, their relationship is like a sibling, he does not want the answer that choosing Mentari will make their relationship becomes fractured, moreover, Aisha heard clearly that Lucia would stay with them.
"Aisha answered, don't shut up. If you choose me, you have to help me so that they can break their relationship and you have to convince your brother to give me time. I'm sure in a year I can make Azriel love me even crazy about me."
