The Imperfect Husband

Deanra's Choice

Deanra looked at her parents worriedly, not usually her father would talk seriously like this with her if there was nothing very important. Once his father spoke seriously like this, and it turned out to be a news that made him disappointed with his parents. But it was only for a moment, now he was even very grateful for his father's decision.

But now what? Is there anything else that would make him take that extreme step again. Deanra chuckles amusedly, why is it so bad to think of his parents.

"Dad, what's wrong? Why is it so serious that you told Dean to come home so soon?"

"Something I want to talk about." Abas doesn't really know where to start. He was also afraid to hurt his little princess, however he already knew his son was loving a man, but on the one hand there was a promise he had to keep.

"Speak it, Dad. Why doubt that? Is this really important?" Deanra urged her father to speak. He was tired of guessing what his favorite man would talk about, but from then on waited not to speak.

Deanra turned to look at the mother, "Mother, what's wrong? Is there anything serious?" Actually Deanra also wanted to ask why only he was called the father and mother, while his younger brother was not invited.

Abas took a deep breath, then he began to say in a heavy voice but sounded resolute.

"Deanra, I want you to get married soon..," said Abas disconnected, he looked at his daughter who was a little surprised.

"Dad ... married? But my boyfriend hasn't thought about father's marriage, we haven't talked about it." Deanra is not sure her lover will immediately a myriad of sudden marriages requested by her parents.

"Not with your lover, Deanra. But with your father's friend's son!" Syakira immediately said that immediately made her daughter's Mali smile disappear instantly.

Bak gets hit hard, Deanra feels her world is spinning. Be married? with another guy? Matchmade? He looked at his mother and father with a giddy look.

He felt that this word was really funny. He never thought of such a thought in his parents.

"Mom was just kidding, right? There's no way you're setting me up with a man I don't love. Dad, don't joke, it's not Luca." Deanra pouted, wanting to make her father say this was just a lie and wanted to prank her.

Syakira looked at the husband, asking the man to speak firmly to his daughter if this is reality not joking. Although they did not have the heart, but they thought this was also the best, a lot of things they had considered this matchmaking problem, and finally they agreed.

"Dad's not kidding. It's reality, and you have to be ready to accept this, De."

Deanra was at a loss for words. His eyes glazed over, doubtful at this terrible decision. If this is real, maybe soon his life will be ruined, he will not be able to accept another man other than his lover.

"This is your decision, De! You cannot refuse, for you have been betrothed from childhood, and it will not be possible to decide." Abas said firmly, not wanting to hear the rejection from the child. Especially after hearing his daughter's lover had no plans to marry Denara, he was increasingly convinced of this decision he took.

"I don't want Dad, Mom. Denara already has a boyfriend, Denara does not want to marry another man!" The girl sobbed and raised her voice rejecting the father's request.

Abas actually had no heart, he softened his face a little, not wanting fiercely on his favorite princess.

"Allah ... I'll call off the match if within a week your lover is ready to propose to you, Deanra. But if not you should marry by father's choice. How's it?" Abas made a choice. He'll give Deanra a chance to make a decision.

Deanra smiled happily, "Daddy seriously? Dad, I'm sure Dilo will come to propose to me at my father's request. Even I'm sure he'll be ready if I get married within a week." Denara said happily. He was very sure his lover loved him very much, surely he would love to hear this good news. And she doesn't have to marry a man she doesn't love.

"Yes, I'm serious. But remember this deal Deanra, it's only been a week. And if you fail you should be ready to marry the man of your choice!"

"All right, Father's promise, Mother. Dilo will definitely come home and propose to Denara, and you won't even think of separating us again" Denara said confidently.

Seeing his daughter smile again, Abas could only take a deep breath. Syakir looked at her husband in annoyance. Though this has been discussed, and Deanra had to accept this matchmaking, but now it has changed the decision.

Denara immediately ran into her room, leaving her parents with a troubled thought.

"Why do you say that? give her a choice? Didn't we agree that Deanra was married to Ares. But after your words differ,"

Abas pinched his throbbing forehead, "Mas doesn't know either, Dek. I can only watch our daughter grieve. After all isn't this better, giving her a choice?"

Syakira did not answer, but she also admitted that her husband's decision had a point as well. Didn't they from the beginning agree not to put too much pressure on the child.

"Alright, it's up to you" Syakira said. He immediately went into his room and now only Abas was dizzy. It turns out that cutting off the life of the child when after adulthood is not easy, more difficult than he first thought.
