"I'm not going to marry her!"
Amara, the second child of the Prada family kicked the family room table with rage.
"You must want to! The Triyasa family has helped us a lot before." Tell the father, Bram Prada
"If they really wanted to help, they wouldn't ask for this kind of reciprocity!"
"The company is in crisis. Only the Triyasa family would help us. But Madame Triyasa wants you to marry her first child." His father looked at Amara calmly, as if this debate was nothing big.
"Dad, her first child is even older than me. Don't you suspect he's a pedophile? "
"She's only 3 years older than you."
"But--"
"You have only two options, marry her or see your family go broke and miserable."
His father left the family room. Leaving Amara who still could not accept the reality.
Married..or..see family miserable..

The next day, a core member of the Triyasa family came to the Prada family residence. The two families sat in the living room while having a light conversation.
"So Amara, are you willing to marry my eldest son?" Ask Mia, the big lady of the Triyasa family.
"Of course he's ready, isn't he Amara?" Bram glanced at Amara who was downcast while squeezing the dress she was wearing.
"I...Ready" said Amara
Everyone sighed and smiled in relief. But Elvano still looked at the bowed Amara. He believes Amara does not fully agree.
"Can I have a one-on-one conversation with Amara?" Elvano spoke up
The family immediately agreed. They think that Elvano wants to get to know Amara further.
And there they sat, in the backyard by the fish pond. They were both silent, reluctant to open the conversation.
The silence continued for a few minutes, before Amara began to speak.
"Why do you want to marry me?" Ask Amara
"My mom likes you, she wants you to be her daughter-in-law. I can't refuse."
"Why?" Amara looked at the handsome face of Elvano
"After my father's death, he was the only one who loved me." Elvano still watches the fish pond
Silent.
"Well, I did agree to marry you. But there's still something I want to make clear." Amara focused on the man in front of her.
"Say."
"After marriage, where will we stay?" Amara started the question. He had already thought about the pros and cons if he really had to marry this man
"I bought a house."
Ah...It turns out this guy has prepared this.
"If it's money I'll give him a month. If it's love, I can't guarantee it."
"Don't worry, I just need living expenses from you."
"..."
Amara sighed before asking her final question.
"This marriage is not based on love. I know it. But..can you take the time to interact with me? Even if it's only a few minutes, I'd appreciate it. At least it makes our relationship not too tenuous." Amara looked down again, her feelings mixed
Elvano stared at Amara intensely. "I'll do it."
With that answer, Amara smiled sweetly. A smile that could stop the world of Elvano Triyasa.
"alright. Tell me what you're like." Amara got up from her seat and settled down towards Elvano.
Elvano smiled faintly. "You want to know?"
Amara nodded enthusiastically. "of course. I need to know the nature of my future husband."
"All right." Elvano stood up and then walked hand in hand with Amara back to the living room.
"I am a quiet person. I don't like sweet food. I'm a shitty sedict. I'm also grumpy and rude." He said while continuing to walk.
"really? Did you hit someone too?" Ask Amara who is next to him
"Yes, but I'll never hit you. I guarantee that"
Amara smiles. "Give me one sentence when you first see me." Bespotted
"You're my mother's choice, her taste sucks."
"So you're saying I suck, right?" Amara stomped her feet while walking
"Very."
"Hey! Look, my face is beautiful! My mom always said that. And although my body is not too sexy, but my body is slim and full. I'm smart too! I graduated from college at 21!"
Elvano continued to watch the girl who was rambling next to him. She's pretty adorable.
Elvano pinched Amara's cheek. "Be quiet, you're so noisy."
Amara stroked her newly-pinched cheek. "Piranhas! Don't pinch my cheek."
Elvano just laughed at the behavior of the girl next to him. "Hey sprout tree, just shut up for a minute."
"Spout tree? Look, I admit you're taller than me. But that's no reason to make fun of me, you hear?"
"Hey short, we've arrived. Don't babble on" Elvano laughed as she hugged Amara's shoulder.
"I'm not short! You're too tall."
"Ask me if you're short."
"I told you I'm not short."
The discussion between the two is still ongoing. While their parents who saw him just smiled happily.
They look harmonious.
The Triyasa family is also very happy because Elvano has not smiled like this for a long time. Maybe Amara is the happiness that God gave to Elvano.
