THE LOVE OF ELSA.
The Part 16
In the afternoon after Leo came home from work, he immediately went to his mother.
"Ma," said Leo greeting Ayu.
"Yes, son, you just got home?" ask Ayu who is busy in the kitchen.
"Yes, Ma, I decided to accept my match with Melly" Leo said. Sontak Ayu looked at Leo.
"Are you serious about what you say?" ask Ayu.
"Yes, Ma" replied Leo confidently.
"Thank God, I hope you really accept Melly, not because you have to" said Ayu.
Leo was silent, because he was forced to accept his matchmaking with Melly, but he was determined to open his heart to Melly so that he would not be tormented running their marriage later.
"To be honest right now Leo has no feelings for Melly Ma, but Leo will try to love Melly even though I do not know what the results are," replied Leo honestly.
"Wish you could quickly love Melly, you should throw away your memories with Elsa" Ayu said.
"Yes, Ma" replied Leo.
"Yes, you took a shower!" said Ayu.
"OK," replied Leo, then he went to his room.
While Ayu was happy because Leo accepted his betrothal, Ayu immediately told Pak Pajar also bude Ria, they were very happy to hear it.
Leo is sad to be married to someone he doesn't love.
While Leo is looking at a photo of Elsa on his phone, he hesitates to delete the photo of Elsa.
"Why is it so hard to just erase your picture, let alone erase your name from my heart, you're so good at breaking my heart" Leo murmured as he looked at Elsa's photo.
Heck, Tok, Tok!
There was a knock on the door from the outside, Leo hurriedly turned off his phone.
"Mom come in?" said Ayu from outside.
"Come Ma" replied Leo from within.
"Mama wants to talk about your matchmaking" Ayu said.
"What else is there to talk about?" leo asked because he did not understand where his mother was talking.
"You said you agreed to your match with Melly, you wanted to ask when we proposed to Melly?" ask Ayu to know.
"I haven't thought about going there, Ma, my debt to papa has not paid off, if I want to propose to Melly, wait for my debt to spit up first, Melly is still in college, too" replied Leo.
Ayu was silent to hear the words of his son, he thought Leo would immediately propose to Melly when he agreed, it turned out his thinking was wrong.
"Wouldn't you guys be engaged first?" ask Ayu.
"I asked Melly first," replied Leo briefly.
"Yes already if it is like that, mama came out first," said Ayu.
"Yes, Ma" replied Leo.

While Elsa actually does not feel at home working at home Miftah maam, but she has not been able to work elsewhere, therefore she still survives work at home Miftah maam, Miftah, which makes her unable to bear her husband, Miftah often teases her, making her always wary.
Like this morning when Elsa cooks in the kitchen, Miftah's mom goes to the market, Miftah's husband steals Elsa's tempting opportunity.
"Don't be like that sir" said Elsa protesting as Pahrul's hand stroked Elsa's cheek.
"You don't sell expensive, if you want to serve me, I'll give you a lot of money, you don't have to work like this" Pahrul said.
"I'm not that kind of woman, sir, please stop teasing me! I'm here to work for the right kind of money" replied Elsa refused.
"Stop Sir! If you continue like this, I will confess the actions of your father to your mother" Elsa threatened.
"You think he'll believe what you say, try me" Pahrul said defiantly.
"Assalamualaikum," Miftah's voice came from outside, Elsa could breathe a sigh of relief after Bu Miftah came home, while Pahrul immediately left from before Elsa.
"Wa, allaikumsalam," replied Pahrul from within.
"Loh, papa hasn't gone to work yet?" tanya Miftah felt haran, because her husband was ready to go to work.
"There are those who miss Ma, so papa returned, yes papa left first," said Pahrul, then he left. While Elsa shook her head to see Pahrul's behavior.

Ria came back to Melly's room.
"What are you doing?" ask Ria.
"Oma's fall" said Melly, waking up from her sleep.
"Oma just wanted to say, if Leo accepts your match, now just waiting for your answer, are you willing to accept this match?" ask Ria.
Melly thought for a while that she still had doubts about Leo, suspecting that Leo accepted their match just because guilt had made her unable to walk.
"I can't decide for now, give me time to think about Oma" Melly replied.
"Yes, you think!" said Ria.
Then Ria came out of Melly's room to her room, when she arrived at her room, Mr. Pajar immediately asked.
"How, did Melly accept their match?" ask Mr. Pajar to know.
"It seems that Melly is still hesitating Pa, she has not replied," Ria replied in a lethargic tone.
"What makes him doubt?" ask Mr. Pajar to be surprised.
"Mama also does not know for sure, what makes him doubt," replied Ria.
"Yes, we just pray that they are paired," said Mr. Pajar.
"Yes, Pa, we're sleeping yuk! It's already midnight," Ria said as she closed her eyes.
"Yes, Ma" said Mr. Pajar, and they slept.

This morning when Leo drove Melly he asked Melly directly.
"You know that brother accepted our match?" ask Leo to know.
"Yes, sister" replied Melly.
"Have you also accepted our match?" ask Leo.
Melly was silent for a while, before replying.
"Actually I have had a feeling for my brother for a long time, the treatment of my brother makes me comfortable, but I do not dare to express my feelings, honestly when Oma Ria told me that we were in a match, I was very being, sister, but I realized I couldn't be selfish to force you to accept our match, if you really feel no sense to me, you don't need to accept our match, you know, I'm not mad that you're refusing our arranged marriage" Melly said.
Leo took a deep breath before speaking.
"Honestly, you only think you are a sister, but you want to open the door of your heart so you can accept you and can love you, help your sister yes, you are sure that you can love you, you want to help your brother" said Leo, holding Melly's hand.
Melly nodded her head in agreement. It didn't feel like they were on Melly's campus. As usual, Leo escorted Melly to her class.
But for Melly today is a special day for her, because Leo has promised to try to love her.
While Leo is determined to forget Elsa, therefore he accepts Melly, he is sure he can forget Elsa if he accepts Melly.
"I can definitely forget you, you don't deserve me to love" Leo said as if talking to Elsa looking at a picture of Elsa, then he deleted the photo of Elsa on his phone. After he deleted the photo of Elsa, Leo's chest felt tight to hold his sadness.
