Hendra knocked on the boss's office door.
"Come in.." said the boss from the inside.
"Sorry, boss called me?" ask Hendra
"Sit down, Hendra." tell the boss.
"Hendra, it's been almost 10 years you've been with me." said the boss when Hendra was sitting in front of him.
"Yes boss." said Hendra briefly
"You have no plans to get married, get old." asked the boss.
"No boss, I want to go on my own" replied Hendra.
"Crazy.you're really numb." smile the boss
"Maybe the boss." said Hendra.
The boss stood up from his chair and approached Hendra, patted him on the shoulder and stood next to Hendra who was sitting quietly.
"Hendra, you know Anita right.my niece." said the boss later, followed by a nod of Hendra's head.
"Anita has loved you for a long time, even though she knows how asshole you are, temperament as cold as ice, but she still falls in love with you." the boss stopped saying, looking at him who was silent
"Hey..how do you think?" asked the boss holding Hendra's shoulder
"Sorry boss, but I don't deserve to be loved, especially by Anita. She's a good woman, deserving of a good man too, unlike me" replied Hendra
"But he wants to accept you for who you are and I want you to marry him" said firmly at the boss.
"But boss, I can't." replied Hendra quickly.
"Listen Hendra, this is my decision and this is my order...I don't want any rejection, you can't still be married to Anita. "the boss stares at Hendra
"Boss, I don't want to hurt her, because I can make sure that I can never love her" Hendra said seriously
"That's a risk Anita, she can accept the fact that later you don't love her. He loves you so much, it doesn't matter how you feel about him as long as you're always with him." explained the boss
"My boss.." Hendra's speech was cut off.
"Hendra.I reiterate once again, this is an order and you must be done right. All the wedding preparations will be taken care of with Anita, you just prepare yourself. You understand.." the boss's tone went up.
"Good Boss.." said resigned Hendra.
"As soon as dong...now continue your duties, I will immediately prepare your marriage." orders the boss.
Hendra stepped out of the room, wanting it to feel like he was revolting and beating him if he was not the boss. However, the boss has helped his life a lot when it is difficult, willing to accept and understand his nature that is difficult for everyone to understand.

He contacted Anita and invited her to meet at a dining place, not far from her home. In accordance with the agreed time, Hendra had come first not to mention how long it seemed Anita approached him.
"Hey, Hendra...Sorry to wait so long." said Anita took a seat in front of her
Hendra just fell silent, not at all reply Anita. But Anita understood so well that this cold man in front of her, she still tried to smile.
"Okey..there's this really tumen ngajak meet." asked Anita break the silence.
"Cancel the wedding" said Hendra seriously
"No...I don't want to cancel it." Anita replied quickly
"You will only be disappointed and hurt later" said Hendra
"I don't care, I'll accept all the consequences. This is indeed my wish, and uncle supports it." Anita said firmly
"Bas stupid, until whenever I can't accept you." looked at Hendra sharply.
"I know and I'm ready to accept any reality later, whether you accept me or not, love me or not, I don't care. All I know is that I love you, I have been in love with you for a long time, the important thing is that you are mine and I want to always be with you, whatever the risk I take" Anita explained
"But still I can't, I promised myself I'd never marry other than the owner of my heart" Hendra said
"It is fortunate that the owner of your heart, if indeed one day you want to return to the owner of your heart, I will accept" said Anita.
"You don't understand what I'm feeling" Hendra said, upset
"You allow me to understand and understand you, I promise not to force my feelings on you. No matter how you treat me, I will still love you with all my soul." Anita remained heartbroken
"Based on a stupid, stubborn woman....You won't be able to bear it later." Hendra started to get emotional
"I make sure, I can ..." said Anita
Hendra immediately got up from his seat and left Anita alone, he could not hold back his emotions. If he stays there he fears not being able to control his emotions and hurt Anita.
While Anita could only cry, she shed tears that had been held in front of Hendra. In front of Hendra he did look strong, but actually as a woman he felt his heart hurt. It is sad to accept the fact that the man he has always loved, openly rejects.
At night Hendra could not sleep, his mind and heart were very chaotic. Unknowingly her tears melted, she recalls Renata. If Renata were still with me, I wouldn't have to face all this.
Indeed, since deciding to leave his city until this moment, Hendra could not for a second forget the figure of Renata, the owner of his heart. He had tried to divert it with his current job, but in vain.
"Rena, how are you right now. You must have lived a happy life, whether you remember me, or maybe even have forgotten me completely." Hendra said in his daydream
"Rena, if you knew I was here thinking of you, your memories would be stored in my heart. Will I not be able to see you again, and until death I can only save my misses on you." continued Hendra sound very sad
Hendra no longer knows how to prevent his marriage to Anita. As the boss said he had little time to prepare, but even if given a lot of time he would never be ready.
It was in his mind to end his life, but however bad he was still afraid of the wrath of God. His sinful life will no longer be increased by greater sin.
He still remembers Mother's message to draw closer to God, but does God still accept people as bad as him, as evil and cruel as him. After so many sins he committed, God could forgive him.
