It's been a week now that Felix, Barbara, and their extended family are preparing for the wedding of Fera and Denio.
Denio was very excited while Fera was just the opposite.
Again, not not wanting to marry Denio, it's just that Fera is not ready to be a wife.
Like today, his extended family was busy preparing this and that, while Fera chose to sit in the corner looking at all the activities of his extended family and Denio.
"Well..." Repeatedly Fera took a breath and breathed out roughly her breath.
"Hey, Mama's kid in the corner?" Barbara asked as she approached her daughter.
"Eh, Mama." Fera slightly flinched and regained his senses from his daydream.
"Why? What's up?" Barbara sat down beside her daughter and grabbed Fera's shoulder.
"Fera hesitates Ma. Fera has to get married young?" Fera hugged Barbara's waist tight.
"Why doubt? Is love the same as Nio?" Barbara asked defiantly.
"Love the hell, but I'm just as young as Nio." Fera tried to defend himself.
"Darling, now Mama nanya you! You better marry Nio and then be free to do it or you guys are dating unclear and keblasan?" Barbara made a choice that she thought was right.
"It's better to get married anyway." Fera chose what he thought was more appropriate.
"Well, that's why. Marriage is to bring two people together who love each other. But they do not have to be married immediately have children, let alone you are still in college. Mama Sama Papa just does not want later you guys kebablasan especially after kebablasan even separated. So you guys should have a clear relationship." Barbara gave her daughter understanding.
"But Ma, Nio is psycho." Fera finally has a chance to tell me about Denio.
Not to denigrate Denio, Fera only hoped that there would be no lies between her, Denio, and his extended family.
"Same Papa already guessed it baby. A few days ago the police contacted your Papa and informed him that the house of the Nio family was on fire. After thorough investigation it turned out that the fire was on purpose but the police did not find evidence who did it. Worse, the police found burned body parts." Barbara explained to Fera.
"Same Papa is not afraid that Fera will become a victim of Nio?" Fera asked worriedly.
"Darling, sure Nio won't hurt you. You need to know one thing, and it feels like it's time you need to know. Papa you are like Nio, even Frans too. But the two men are trying to change for the woman they love. Those psycho traits won't heal, but they can be muted. They need a charmer who understands them and can be a source of calm for them." Barbara rubbed Fera's shoulders gently.
Fera was a little surprised to hear Barbara's story, but she chose to nod in understanding.
"Yes, Mama's been there again. You are the spirit dong. Don't lemes that." Barbara cupped her daughter's pretty face and kissed her darling Fera's forehead.
Barbara joined the rest of the family.
After Barbara's departure, Denio immediately approached Fera with a gaze implying anger.
"Follow me!" Denio pulled Fera's hand violently towards the garden behind their house.
"Nio, what the hell? It hurts." Fera tried to remove Denio's hand grip but Denio did not heed.
"What did you say to Mama?" Denio raised his tone.
"What else is my fault anyway?" Fera also did not lose snapping.
"You told Mama about everything I've done, to be honest!" Denio back to snarl.
"Yes! I told Mama everything. Then why? I just want you to get well and live a normal life, Denio." Fera this time does not want to lose and be blamed.
"You're sick Denio, you need support not just from me. They even know what you have done to your family, but they are silent. They also did not hesitate to give me marriage to you. Because what? Because they believe you can get better when I'm with you. I told Mama not with the intention of insulting or demeaning you, but I want to get a solution from Mama to help you heal." Celoteh Fera at length.
Denio was still silent.
"Tell me if I doubt I'd marry you. Your nature is a gini Denio, do not believe me." Fera is back.
"Now all decisions are in your hands. If you can and want to believe in me and change your suspicious nature, we continue to marry. But if you still want to change, we better end all even our courtship relationship!" Fera immediately went to leave Denio who was still silent and pecked.
After the death of Fera, Denio was sitting drowning on the grass of the park while contemplating every word of Fera.
"Look.." Felix called out to him from behind.
Felix had accidentally heard all the commotion of the young couple.
Felix approached Denio and embraced and led Denio to sit on the park chair.
Denio's eyes were red as if holding back a cry.
"We as men talk from heart to heart. Are you in love with Fera? Look at Papa's eyes!" Felix is trying to find the same Denio as him is a psychopath.
Denio looked at Felix without hesitation.
"I love Fera Pa, and only Fera I want." Denio answered confidently.
Felix smiling.
"You have to be able to be better as Fera wants. It's not just you that demands Fera to stare better according to your version. You have to change and explore each other's character." Felix spoke calmly as if Denio was his own biological son.
"But Fera is now angry with me Pa, Fera hates me." Denio made an assumption that frightened himself.
Sometimes Denio's attitude and nature are still like children even though he has grown up. Inevitably Felix and his family try to understand. It was at their risk when they decided to nurture and raise Denio.
"Fera won't be angry with you. He just wants you to reflect on all your attitudes that do not believe in him. She loves you too, so there's no way she's doing something that's embarrassing or hurting you." Felix tried to give Denio some understanding.
"So Fera's not mad at me Pa?" Denio asked with a glowing face.
Felix shook his head.
"Of course not! Now you suck him up and say everything's fine." Felix gave a suggestion.
Denio immediately got up from his seat and ran away leaving Felix towards Fera's room.
"Darling, I'm in?" Denio asked as he opened the door of Fera's room.
"Darling?" Denio could see Fera lying on the bed with her body wrapped in a blanket.
Denio approached Fera hesitantly and climbed onto the bed and sat down beside Fera.
"Darling.." Denio again called out to Fera while slowly opening his blanket.
"Jeez..honey why are you?"
