The Complicated Love Story

_Dilemma_

She was very confused by the situation she was in now. He does not want the same incident to happen again, then he will talk about it directly with Rendi. But before that, he wanted to tell Zain first.

At 23:00 p.m., Zain was checking some files on his computer. The phone reads the sign of an incoming call. Zain saw the phone screen looks Merisa name he raised it.

"Assalamu'alaikum Zayn..." Greetings with a sad tone.

"Goddessalam..Meris What's wrong? why does your voice sound sad?" Ask Zain worried.

"How about this, I confused Zain. I'm happy you proposed to me but Rendi also proposed to me directly to my Abiku" Merisa replied with a sad feeling.

"Did your brother accept Rendi's proposal?" Ask Zain worriedly.

"Yes Zain, Abiku received Rendi's proposal without asking me first..hiks...hiks....(his crying voice) What should I do now?" Merisa asked Zain with tears.

"Quiet down first Merisa.. I will tell your brother directly that we love each other. And I will bring my parents.insha Allah we will marry Meris.before that I want us to solve this problem to Rendi. Didn't you cancel your match, did you? then why did he propose to you? Patience, this might just be a test for both of us." Zain said to calm Merisa.

"Alright I'll call Rendi to make an appointment with her, and I'll wait for you Zain.." Says Merisa expectantly.

"Well, wait for me the day after Merisa, I will tell everything to my parents" said Zain.

"Thank you Zain...Sorry to bother you these nights" said Merisa.

"Well, don't think about it anymore. You should get enough rest.Okay! Good night and have a nice dream🙂" Zain said

"Okay, see you again.." Merisa

Zain was done with the work on his computer, now he rested his body on the bed. Zain was really worried if later he was rejected by Abinya Merisa.

"How's this? Just starting to struggle why someone has preceded me Ah. (ruffling his hair) I can not be pessimistic, Zain you have to prove that you are worthy of Merisa. You cannot attack. Mm.. Zain Fighting Bismillah..." Zain said to himself.

Before going to bed Zain sends a message to Zunairah and Zarah to visit him tomorrow, he wants his brothers to know the problem and hope to provide a solution.

"Assalamu'alaikum my beautiful brothers, tomorrow I want you to come to the house. I want to talk about Merisa, I'm waiting for your arrival okay!" Zain's message to his brothers.

The next day, the,,

Because today is the weekend so Fikram, Zaidan, Zunairah, Zarah, Zaki, and Fiza come together.

At 09:00 in the morning everything has arrived at the house of Mina's mother and Grandpa Yusuf. Since everyone was impatient to hear what Zain was going to say, so early in the morning they had already come.

Zain who had taken a shower and put on a shirt came out of his room, suddenly he was shocked that all his brothers had come.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat..Zain really long" said Zunairah sitting in a sofa while drinking tea.

"Of..Zain's.." Shouts of his nephews in front of the television.

"Goddessalam..Brother Zunairah came very quickly.." Zain said he was sitting with everyone.

"Well, my nieces are watching tv. Come on join me later..."

"Yes Om.." Said Fiza while playing her puppet.

"Yes, I can't wait to hear about Merisa. Is there anything else?" Ask Zunairah to Zain.

"Yes, we can't wait.." Said the impatient Zarah.

Zain sat next to Joseph's father, Mina's mother, before him Zunairah, Zarah, to the left of Zaidan and to the right of Fikram.

"Mother, Father and my brothers. I've been serious about Merisa, I've proposed to her, too, but I told her that I would propose to her officially..." Zain said hanging.

"Well, is that good what are you waiting for?" Ask Zarah.

"Wait who was that?" Ask Mina's mother and Joseph's father at the same time.

"So Zain hasn't told me about Dad's mom? The basis of Zain. Gini Dad's mother, Merisa was a friend of Zain High School and now she's a surgeon she also had Zain at home at that time. I agree that Zain proposed to Merisa she is nice, beautiful and polite" Zunairah explained.

"Really? Why didn't Zain ever tell me?" Ask Mina's Mom.

"I just want to wait for the right time for the story. But I am confused now, when I proposed to Merisa in front of him there is someone else who proposed to Merisa directly in front of Abinya" said Zain with a sad face.

"Wow you first dong.." Zaidan said in a joking tone.

"Then you don't have hope anymore." Zarah Said.

"Sir Zarah ah, instead of giving spirit even makes me pessimistic" said Zain in an annoyed tone.

"This is why if you're really serious about Merisa and you love each other I'll support you. Do not retreat Zain because if you retreat you will fall" Joseph's father said.

"Wah Dad is really cool deh.plok.plok.plok (applause sound)" said Zunairah and Zarah together.

"You cannot give up Zain, there is still a chance, you are trying to persuade Abi Merisa" said Fikram.

"Yes I planned to think like that brother, insha Allah tomorrow I want mom and dad to come with me to the house of Abinya Merisa I want to show that I am really serious" said Zain.

"Mother and father will always support you son, if it is good for you" said Mina's mother.

"Thank you, father....." Zain.

Zain was relieved that both his parents supported his wishes.

Daytime,,, the,,

At 14:00 pm Zain was spending time with his family. Merisa gave the news that today she and Rendi will meet and Merisa invites Zain to meet her.

"I think you want to go first. You guys don't fuss okay!" Zain.

"Oh well, om..." Answer everything.

Zain was neat and wearing black, after which Zain said goodbye to his family.

"Dad, mother, my brothers all I want to go yes, want to settle my problems and Rendi first. Doain may be in line with the plan" Zain told his family.

"Our prayers are always with you..." Says Everything.

----------

Merisa has arrived at the place of the agreement with Rendi, now she is waiting for Zain.

"Rendi, what do you mean you proposed to me directly to my brother? without telling me first? don't you like someone? and we've agreed that our arranged marriage be annulled?" Questions from Merisa to Rendi.

"Sorry I only love you..." Answer Rendi briefly.

"But I don't love you Ren, I love someone else, and I beg you to cancel this proposal" Merisa said pleading.

"No, until whenever I won't cancel this proposal, I love you so much.(.Holding Merisa's hand on the table)" said Rendi with a faint smile.

"Don't be like this Rendi, I really won't agree if you marry me..." Merisa said immediately brushed off Rendi's hand.

"You will not be able to refuse him, because your own Abi has accepted my proposal..." Said Rendi confidently.

Feeling that he did not know what to say anymore, he was frustrated by the change in Rendi's attitude.

Merisa several times had breathed rough her breath and held her head.
