Love is not blind, it's just that the culprit closes the eyes of the heart consciously.

In a hotel in downtown Manchester now Azharin is located. An incident that he never imagined because it used to only think of marrying and marrying his former lover.
Now away from family and friends. Here he is, in the thousands of miles. On a balcony of a luxury Azharin hotel with men of different nationalities, languages, and cultures.
After looking directly at the bar owned by Alex, the European man, no longer want to lose a second chance to release the Asian girl. The nights in Spain made him even more convinced to be with Azharin.
"I want you to meet my family. Don't you mind?" ask Bernard carefully.
"I object that my long journey is just an empty one" Azharin replied seriously.
"Are you not able to answer right away?" bernard told Azharin.
"You can understand what that means, right?"
"Barbie .. I am serious."
"Same. I'm serious too."
"Are you sure?" bernard looked into Azharin's eyes.
"Don't tell me you're not sure" Azharin said seriously.
Bernard took a breath. He even took a deep breath. Azharin always tested patience.
"You angry?" azharin asked when she heard Bernard sigh and remained silent for a moment.
"I'm not angry darling."
"Yes, I know you're upset with me" Azharin said softly. For Azharin, if Bernard was holding back his annoyance, then he did not call in his usual nickname, Barbie.
Bernard did not understand Azharin's line of thought. "I just don't understand your nature. You always argue with me. You always turn my words around." Bernard could not hide his curiosity.
"I think by arguing we can get to know each other." Azharin gave an excuse.
"What do you want to know?" bernard asked them Azharin's thought.
"I just want you to know who I am. I don't want you one day to regret marrying me and driving me out of your life." Azharin's words again made Bernard speechless.
"Do we need to discuss tonight? You're not tired?" ask Bernard.
"I'm tired. I don't intend to talk about it tonight. But you need to know who I am and what I've been through. That one day not be a burden to me."
"Babie's Crack. We rest. You okay being alone in this room?" bernard asked without any hidden intent. He was just a little worried about Azharin being alone far away with nothing known other than him and Gilberto. Azharin was comfortable hearing Bernard's sincere tone.
"I don't think you mind staying here" Azharin said bluntly. Azharin suddenly felt uncomfortable alone in Bernard's country. Though he felt relaxed in Spain from the start of his first day came.
"You nervous?" bernard looked at Azharin's bead. Azharin.
When the morning sun greeted, Azharin was still asleep in deep sleep. It is different with Bernard. He had woken up and knocked on Azharin's room. Azharin did not open the door. Azharin also does not cause cell phones.
Bernard clearly panicked and asked the hotel to open. Bernard headed to the bed, seeing Azharin still asleep. He saw a different scene from Azharin. That pretty face was so plain and soft. No one looks hard and likes to invite him to argue.
Bernard. He was still engrossed in seeing Azharin sleep peacefully. Bernard could not understand why he fell in love with this girl. When Azharin returned without retaliating, Bernard tried to forget and drown himself with work.
But he failed when night came. Bernard always paid attention to Azharin's social media. Although he found nothing but to see Azharin online or just share a cooking post.
One night, Bernard went back to checking Azharin's social media. He did not find Azharin's account. Bernard assumed, Azharin had blocked his account. Bernard was hurt and angry.
It flashed in his mind to block Azharin's WhatsApp contact number. Bernard's logic lost this once. He disregarded. He only checked when Azharin was last active on WhatsApp. He saw Azharin rarely active. Bernard did not know, Azharin did not give the main number to a virtual friend. Azharin wears two different numbers.
Bernard had accepted a woman in his life. It just doesn't last long. Bernard was too demanding of his time. Bernard doesn't like that. He was very busy with work. There were even days when he focused only on business.
It was also a plus for Bernard about Azharin. Azharin never interrupted his working time. Azharin only protested when Bernard took issue first.
Bernard was also sometimes astonished by his heart and mind. He often ignited his own jealous flames when he saw Azharin online but did not greet her at the time. Bernard often accused Azharin of having many girlfriends. Although he eventually relented because Azharin even back accused.
Recalling those memories, his lip lines formed a smile. He did not expect to lose to the tiny woman who was fast asleep.
You deserve to be called Barbie, my little doll. You're like a little doll, baby. Beautiful and adorable. When you wake up you're a little bit of a bitch, baby. But I really want to have you.
Bernard was engrossed in words in his heart. His sight could not be separated from Azharin's face. Bernard decided he would leave office affairs to the secretary.
With careful steps he moved and headed for the sofa. Bernard told his secretary to shift the schedule if it wasn't too important. Bernard also reported Gilberto.
Gilberto supported Bernard to introduce Azharin to his fathers. Gilberto hopes that in that way, Azharin can be sure of the love of her best friend. Bernard's parents did not force his son to marry. They leave the decision in the hands of their children.
Bernard five brothers. He's the youngest. Three of his brothers were men and two of them were not in England. One older sister on top of him stayed together to accompany their parents. Her sister is divorced and has two children whose man is now seven years old and a five-year-old woman. Bernard's parents' home is two hours by car from Manchester.
Bernard finished the call on Gilberto when he saw Azharin move. Azharin squirms small. Slowly Azharin opened her eyes, as slowly as Bernard's steps closer to the bed.
"Good morning Barbie. Are you ok?" greet Bernard with a sweet smile. Azharin nodded and replied with a warm smile. Azharin got up and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Did I scare you?" ask Azharin. He could already guess the existence of Bernard in his room.
"I'm getting used to it."
Azharin smiled knot. He asked if Bernard did not go to work. Azharin is certainly happy, when Bernard will take a lot of time. Azharin grew happy when Bernard asked her to get ready to go to her parents' house.
It didn't take long for Azharin to get ready and put on makeup. Azharin was not the dandy type and it was also liked by Bernard. Bernard liked the plain Asian face of Azharin.
Bernard has asked the driver to deliver the car to the hotel. Bernard wanted to drive himself to his parents' house. He wanted to hear a lot of stories from Azharin.
"Are you ready, Barbie?"
Azharin refused as Bernard hugged his waist, but Azharin opened up a bit when Bernard said he would introduce her to his parents. For Azharin to be one step ahead for future plans. Although he did not yet know if he could be welcomed and well received by Bernard's parents.
