The Children's Story 17

Denny

"What, Van?"

"If you want, I'm ... I'm gonna take you out."

"What???"

"Yes. We're dropping by. So you don't have to marry someone you don't like. And i'm... I'll marry you, I'll find work to eat us everyday. I promise I won't waste you."

Vicia couldn't believe Ivan's offer. He once asked Andrea to do the same. But that man was too cowardly to face this life. While Ivan, he hasn't known the guy for a long time, but he's already daring to take responsibility."But... But why, Van?"

"Because... Well, because I like you, Vicia. I've been in love with you ever since I saw you that night at Denny's Gazebo."

Vicia nodded in her chair. He looked into Ivan's eyes, trying to find the guy's sincerity. Is there really such a thing as love at first sight? But it could be. Love in people who have never been met can also be. Just like she felt about Andrea. Although he never met, he felt in love with the man. So Ivan's feelings might just happen. And how did he feel about Ivan? Sukakah him? Has love? Or what? Why is it that when he needs someone, always Ivan is present? Why was it that one night, he had a dream about Ivan? Why was he so tempted to live with Ivan and run away from all the problems he faced? O Allah. This is not fair to Ivan.

"How's Vicia? Do you want to accept me?" ivan asked again when he saw Vicia contemplating.

Vicia sighed heavily, "Ivan, thank you for your feelings as well as your offer of kindness. But I can't."

"Why? You must not like me, right?"

"No. L'm... I like you. That's very kind of you. I hope to meet you not when I'm full of problems like this. If only we had met at different times..."

"Vicia, the meeting was just God arranging. So is chastisement and fortune. If you think I'm the best for you, you won't hesitate to choose me. So did I. I'm willing to sacrifice anything for you, Vicia."

"That's what I don't want. You sacrificed, and so did I. Sorry, Van. I don't want your college to fall apart because I have to support me. I won't be able to forgive myself for that."

"You mean you're the one who sacrificed to give yourself to the sick?"

"It's not just a sacrifice, Van. It's also for the sake of memories. If I come with you, I'll lose my parents' only legacy. My home. I love that house, Van. The house where my mom, dad and I lived together and we are so happy. Let me live all this destiny."

"But Vicia..."

"At home, Van. I have an appointment to see Denny tonight. However, he is my future husband now. I cannot escape my destiny.

"Vice..."

"Please take me home, Van. Now, please."

With raging feelings, Ivan finally runs away his car to take the girl he loves into someone else's arms. His heart screamed, his head felt heavy and wanted to break.

"Denny. L came. I am willing to marry you. You can have my life. My body and everything I have. But you won't be able to have my heart. And my love." said Vicia unceremoniously. In his heart, Ivan's sad face was still clearly drawn, when the man took off. Ivan looked disappointed. But Vicia was determined and believed, this was her destiny.

"Who is the owner of your heart, Vicia? Andrea's? Or Ivan?" asked the man turned to look at Vicia.

The girl was shocked. His eyes widened and stared in disbelief. "Ivan?"

"Sit, Vicia. I want to say something." Ivan said as he looked at the surprised Vicia. The girl sat with a pale face in shock.

"I'm sorry for playing with your feelings. But I didn't do it on purpose. My name is actually Denny. When you were in Pesbuk, you knew me as Andrea. And we're dating. But once I learned of your suffering since your father died, I thought of saving you. I finally asked my father to propose to you, but I deliberately spread the news that I had a skin disease, so that your two brothers would not be interested in me. You know, I offered your mama such a high dowry. That's why he tried so hard to match you with me. Then I disguised myself as Ivan, to get to know you. Turns out you're a great girl, Vicia. When I became Andrea, the man who had the heart to leave you, you were steadfast and remained faithful. When I became Ivan and tempted you to live with me, you refused because you chose to retain your parents' memories. Then when I became Denny with skin disease, you accepted me. Vicia. Ii'm sorry. I did all this for you. I really love you and will do anything for your happiness. I love you, Vicia. If you will forgive all my mistakes and accept my love, I will be very happy. Trust Vicia... Cloudy is not always gray."

Vicia shed tears as the man grabbed her tired body, and protected her in an embrace. “I won't let you cry again, Vicia.” His promise as he kissed the top of the girl's head.

Denny and Vicia decide to get married young. Indeed, Denny still had to finish his studies. And the guy also asked Vicia to go to college with him, so they would always stay together. Both at home and outside the home.

The wedding was lavish, as Denny was the son of a rich man, the sole heir to his parents' entire company. A three-day party of three mala in a luxury hotel, inevitable. Although Vicia wanted a simple celebration, but the social status of the Denny family, demanded the rich family must organize a party that is quite luxurious.

The invited guests were also all top brass, businessmen, and famous artists. Making Vicia inexhaustibly amazed and feel very lucky to be able to shake hands with some of his idol artists.

“I hope you feel comfortable despite having to go through a process like this to be my wife,” Denny said when she saw Vicia was exhausted.

Vicia shook her head and smiled gently. “As long as it is with you, I will do anything.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“Soath?”

“Soath.”

“Then, please massage me, dong, darling. I'm so tired, tau!”

“Iiihh .. basic, yes ...” Vicia pinched the waist of her husband who laughed at seeing his wife growled.
