lAlice let out a loud sigh as she was about to open the door of the room. His meeting with Dave did go well, but it felt like he was completely confused by his decision. He still considers Dave a friend. It makes him feel relaxed when together. However, the fact that Dave is actually his future fiancee makes Alice think again.

If I continue to consider him a friend, when can I accept him as a fiancee.

If I try to accept with a heart that is no longer empty, can I.

Is this what I really want?

Will I be happy with all the decisions I have made?

I think these questions really bother him. Alice clenched her hand on the doorknob and sighed slowly. He began to pull the edges of his lips and pressed down on all the questions that had always haunted him. Alice started out with a cheerful face.

Alice came down the stairs and heard her parents talking. He immediately stepped up and got a glance from both of them, just as he was just coming down the last rung.

“Good morning, Ma, Pa,” greet the gentle Alice stepping closer. Her eyes observed her two parents who were already smiling meaningfully, making Alice stare confusedly.

“Mama with Papa why see Alice so?” alice asked as she grabbed the bread and peanut butter in front of her.

Galuh smile and look at his son. “What about the meeting you and Dave had yesterday, baby? You like?” ask Galuh curious.

Alice yan still applied a silent jam for a moment and looked at her mother with a faint smile. “Happy, Ma.”

“How do you feel about Dave?” Galuh was still curious about Alice's thoughts about the man chosen by her.

“Dave good. Fun too. So, Alice just feel happy if with him,” explained Alice in general.

“You don't mind marrying her?” surya interrupted. His eyes stared at Alice fixedly.

Alice nodded slowly. “I will never mind what Mama and Papa choose. Dave is also a good guy. So, Alice was sure she would be able to make Alice happy later.”

“Thank God then. At least papa feels calm because you are also happy, baby,” said Surya with a gentle smile.

Alice simply kept quiet and continued her breakfast. I'll be happy when you're happy, Alice's mind is trying as hard as possible.

Bara is still engrossed with breakfast and puts his phone on the dining table, setting it to loudspeaker mode. Rika called when she was blind in the morning and interrupted her downtime.

“When are you here?” ask Rika from across the phone.

“You when is it finished? I want to have dinner together and you have to be present. Invite Alice,” chirps Rika with a pushy voice.

Bara stopped the spoon that was about to enter her mouth and frowned in surprise. “Where did you know about Alice, Rica?” ask Bara with a serious face.

“When he came to see me and asked about you. He said you were too cute and that he was hard working with you. Hence he is just curious about your problem,” plain Rika explained.

Rika let out a loud sigh hearing her sister's cold nature. “Bara, at least...”.

“At least don't tell us what our problems are with others, including Alice, Rica. They will just laugh at us and look at us with a concerned face. So, don't tell anything to anyone because I never liked it,” unequivocally Bara said in an annoyed tone.

Bara turned off the call and sighed slowly. So all this time you thought I was suffering, Alice. Is that why you're acting so well in front of me? I'm disappointed.

The news of an arranged marriage between Alice and Dave spread quickly in his most office. The whole building is still talking about the really thrilling hot news. Bara who left early in the morning was only silent with a flat view. He is not interested at all with the news that is currently being a tranding in his office.

The coals would enter the room when a sound made him pause for a moment. A small commotion that occurred in the hallway of his study. His eyes looked at a girl in glasses with Alice still busy talking while stepping.

Bara again ignored the two girls who were still busy gossiping and were about to enter. Alice's voice stopped him.

“Bara,” call Alice in a cheerful voice.

Alice looked at Bara who was also looking at her with a smile. At least seeing Bara from a distance was much better than having to lose Bara completely.

“Morning,” greet Alie as friendly as ever.

Bara sighed softly and looked towards Alice flatly. “Why?” ask Bara to the point. It felt like today he was reluctant to talk to the girl in front of him.

Alice, who had a happy face, began to look at Bara with a frown. “Why?” Alice felt that something different was happening with the man before her. The coals are no longer warm and come back cold. Although usually the behavior is cold.

Bara clucked in annoyance and looked at Alice sharply. “You asked back? I'm doing a lot of work and I don't have time to serve you. So what did you call me for?” ask Bara ketus.

Alice was still observing Bara's face. “Bara, why are you? Is there something wrong with you? Did I make a mistake? You look so cold,” explained Alice with a confused face.

“Don't I do this every day? So why wonder?” said Bara lazily.

“But you are not like this, Bara,” kekeh Alice feels Bara is different from before.

Bara let out a loud sigh and looked at Alice flatly. “I'm doing a lot of work, Alice. So excuse me, I'm in.”

Alice who saw Bara was about to enter the room just silently with her face shrouded in confusion. He still did not understand why the nature of Bara was different from before. In fact, some days Bara is not that far with him.

The new coals would close the door when the two girls in front of the room were still staring at him. Bara turned to look at Alice who was still silent.

“Other times, don't try well with me because you know my problem, Alice. I don't need your compassion because all this time we've been able to live a good life. Besides, congratulations on your match with Dave. I hope you guys are happy,” Bara chirps make Alice more and more nguilu.

Alice was silent when Bara's face was no longer visible. His eyes were still glazed at the hatred from Bara's direction. Dara who had been silent since then approached Alice and looked at her best friend.

“You okay?” dara asked with a confused face.

Alice sighed and nodded. “I'm fine. Come on, I'll take you out,” Alice replied with a faint smile.

Dara who knew Alice's heart just kept quiet and obeyed. He will wait until his best friend is honest with his own heart. Alice remained silent all the way to the front door.

I thought you'd get mad and try to grab me, Bara. But it seems wrong. You still hate me, the silent Alice.
