The Bitter Experience of a Little Girl
episode 11
After almost 1 hour of chatting, Kevin said goodbye to go upstairs to change clothes and take a shower.
Likewise with Grandma, Miss Marlina and Uncle Surya who want to rest for a moment to release the fatigue of the trip.
Indeed, it is still afternoon they plan to re-group after dinner is ready to be served.
Falen busies herself by helping her aunt cook for dinner.
The cuisine this time is quite a lot because of the increasing presence of families in this house.
At 7:15 the food was ready to cook and everyone had gathered at the dinner table.
After finishing dinner, Uncle invited all family members to the living room. Uncle sat opposite Falen and Miss Marlina, while Kevin and Angel sat next to his grandmother.
The atmosphere of the living room was instantly silent as the grandmother began to convey her request.
Kevin and Falen consider grandmother's speech only a joke.
"Grandmother, don't be kidding me, Kevin doesn't like him"
"Grandmother did not joke Vin, the age of grandmother is not long anymore. The doctor has confirmed that grandmother's disease will not be cured again. Grandma just wants you to marry Falen before she dies."
Kevin laughed blandly listening to his grandmother's request.
"Kevin, what your grandmother said is true. Grandma has stage 4 cancer so please understand her condition now."
"But sir, this doesn't make sense. Kevin doesn't have to marry her to heal
grandma's disease."
"It's not about curing Vin, it's a last request" Surya's uncle said.
"Sir, Kevin doesn't want to dispute Grandma's request, but Kevin doesn't want to get married this fast, let alone have to be with her."
Kevin pointed towards Falen.
Falen was very surprised to hear Grandma's last request. Plus seeing Kevin's very sharp gaze. Falen just lowered his head not daring to let out a word.
" Grandma just wants you to live happily with Falen before grandma really dies.If indeed you do not agree with grandma's request, you better die now."
Grandma began to cry listening to the rejection from her beloved granddaughter.
Kevin remained in his stance even though he actually did not have the heart to see his grandmother cry.
" Father Kevin doesn't want to know, you only have two choices. Marry Falen or see grandma and dad die now" said Uncle Threatens the stubborn Kevin.
" If you really love your grandmother and father, in the count of three you have chosen one"
" But, sir, not necessarily Falen's getting married to Kevin"
" One....... Du....
" okay.. Aye . Kevin's getting married to Falen"
" good. I'm glad you listened to your answer, Vin. If Falen doesn't have to worry, just like you, I'll make a choice with him.
Falen was again surprised to hear his uncle's words.
" Falen, you can't refuse anymore if you really love your Mother and your Brother."
Falen clasped his mother's hand listening to Mr. Surya's words. While Ms. Marlina smiled hugging her daughter, she had suspected that Surya would do everything possible so that she could grant her mother's request.
"alright. Let the father take care of it. Your marriage will be held next week in secret.Bapak does not want to embarrass any of you."
"Thank you Kevin. Grandma was happy to see Grandma's granddaughter getting married soon.
Kevin and Falen also agreed to this marriage on the condition that they will continue to do their activities as usual.
After all, Surya, Marlina, Grandma and Angel left the living room. They gave Kevin and Falen time.
The atmosphere of the originally hot living room is now cold. Kevin kept staring
Falen with a murderous look.
Silent
Silent
and Silent.
Falen grew tired of waiting for Kevin to speak. Falen was about to leave to vanish all his cries. But Kevin first pulled Falen's arm to sit back in the original place.
" silent. You want to marry me, and this is a devious plan that persuades grandma to marry me" answered...!"
Falen did not know what to answer Kevin with, because honestly he also did not understand the request of grandmother.
" Well, if you don't want to answer, let's start this game"
