Chapter 3

Antin tries to give an understanding, that marriage is not a trivial matter. There are many needs to be prepared. Moreover, Regina is the only child, where maybe her parents agreed to have a simple wedding because the preparation is too short.

“Alright, I'll be at your house tonight. By ourselves. Because my parents are still out of town, Re.”

Regina mengiyani's. For him, the most important thing was that Anton met his parents. The family matter of both parties, it could be discussed later as time goes on. With sure steps, a smile that always adorns her beautiful face, Regina stepped into her house, looking for the whereabouts of her parents.

“Nona, already home? Ladies and gentlemen are in the park behind miss.”

“Iya, Bi, thank you.” Regina left her domestic assistant as soon as she got an answer.

Ira saw the princess, she stood up to greet her. “You're home, Re?” His hand gently touched Regina's shoulder. His smile came as soon as he saw his daughter also smiling.

“What's up, Re?" Ask Papi Surya.

Saying that later tonight Anton will come to the house, there is something that the man will say. That's what Regina said.

Papi Surya smiled wryly at Regina's words. Not because happy, Surya wants to see how earnest Anton. In her heart, she still wouldn't want to bless her daughter's relationship with a man she thought was as irresponsible as Anton.

“Good. Papi wait for him to come.”

Regina eagerly helps her mom in the kitchen cook dinner for Anton's arrival later tonight. Even if her lover came alone, Regina still wanted to visit him well. He was sure, this time his papi will be melted with what his lover delivered. Marrying. There's no parent who doesn't want to see his daughter get married, right?

Evening has arrived. The moon looks very beautiful, accompanied by stars that seem to accompany happiness in Regina's heart. Standing behind the window, looking up at the sky that exuded beauty. Regina closed her eyes, feeling the cold wind that made her heart feel calm.

With slow footsteps, Anton enters a house that is very frightening, for him. Regina greeted him, wrapping one hand over his arm.

Sitting on his feet, sweat incessantly pours from his temples. “Om, Auntie, I will not mince words anymore.” Anton spoke with a trembling tone of voice. There was something stuck in his throat. “Me and Regina have been in contact for quite a while, we ..”

Anton turned his head, looking at Regina who was beside him. “We want to go in a more serious direction, Om.”

“You want to marry her?” ask Papi Surya.

Long enough for Anton to question his future father-in-law.

“Papi!” scream Regina. She was afraid that Anton would be offended by her papa's remarks. Mami Ira tries to calm her daughter down, waiting for what her papa will say.

Anton lowered his head, he did not dare to look into the Sunniest eyes.

“You sure you can take care of my son?”

“I-iya, Om.” Anton answered.

Silent. No one's making a sound. But Ira looked at her husband full of question marks, as well as Regina. Anton waited, he wanted to hear an answer from his future father-in-law. Yes, or no.

“Begini.” Papi Surya opened the sound. “From the beginning of your relationship, I never agreed. And now, you intend to marry my son. My answer remains the same. I will not approve of your relationship. Just dating no, let alone getting married!” he said firmly.

Anton. The man clenched his hand. Very embarrassed, very embarrassed. He obeyed Regina because she was so convincing. But in reality, he remains unacceptable.

“I shouldn't have come here, Re!” Anton moved, with anger enveloping his heart. Regina's calls and cries couldn't stop her footsteps.

“Papi, why refuse Anton?” Regina felt very disappointed with her papa. “She's come well. But, Papi, still do not want to bless our relationship. Why, Pi?”

“Open your eyes, Re! He will not be a good husband to you. She never—”

“I hate, Papi!” Regina passed away, running towards her room.

The smiles and happiness that originally filled the niche of the heart, now changed with disappointment and tears. Regina did not expect at all, if the papa would do that. He thought that his papi would be destroyed because of his affection for him, his own daughter. But no, her papa still hurt her heart.

“Re, listen mami, open the door.” Ira kept knocking on Regina's door. Which mother isn't worried about seeing her daughter ruined by love.

“Regina wants to be alone, Mi. Regina please.” The sound of screaming sounded.

After a while, Ira decided to give Regina some time. So that his daughter's heart can be calm. Down the stairs, approached her husband who was sitting on the sofa floor plan. Asking for an explanation, why not be implied in the slightest pity seeing their daughter crying and disappointed.

“Mi, papi tau Anton is what kind of young man. Let Regina cry for now, than if she was married and she kept crying during her wedding, wouldn't that hurt us more?”
