UNEXPECTED MARRIAGES

LOVE LETTER

The sacred engagement event is over at the title. Mr. Budi's family was preparing to go home when suddenly Belinda invited Ibra to speak on the side porch.

"More..." Belinda thrust an envelope that must have a letter in it.

Ibra stared at the envelope for a while. A small smile then etched on his lips. "Why should you use a letter? Just talk to me directly..."

Belinda chuckles. "Pe-de is really." Belinda said in a derogatory tone. "This is not a letter from me but from my friend..."

Ibra's forehead shriveling. "Your friend? What's it say?"

Belinda thins her lips. "Well, how do I know... The revelation of love may be..."

Ibra observed Belinda's face which seemed so relaxed giving this letter without any trace of jealousy there. Though his friend gave a letter to the suaminys candidate. It seemed, this girl did not hold the slightest liking to him even though the wedding day was getting closer.

"Cock-awkwardly? Take dong! My hands are sore..." Belinda protest is upset.

Sighing, Ibra took the letter in Belinda's hand. Then put it in my shirt pocket. "Aren't you jealous?"

"Jealous why?"

"Your future husband got a love letter from another girl?"

Belinda grinning. "Why should I be jealous? You're my papa's chosen husband-to-be, not my choice..."

"But the meaning remains the same 'prospective husband'..."

Belinda glares. "Ih, bummer... You can go home now..." Belinda was about to turn around when suddenly Ibra asked.

"You didn't want this marriage, did you?"

Belinda's eyes narrowed in full search. "What do you mean by this question?"

Ibra looked around before she said this: "Your father now seems to be healthier, why not try to say that you do not want to continue this process, rather than you continue to behave like this..."

Belinda. "It's been, but it's not heeded." Then he turned to her, "You should have rejected this marriage. If you refuse, then my papa can't do anything..."

"I can't. Om Budi has done a lot for me. So it can't disappoint him. Then maybe we should get married even if it's hard..."

Belinda looked at Ibra's face. The man looked grim now Could it be that he actually had someone in his heart?

"You.. like someone?" Ask Belinda carefully.

"Yes... How's yours?"

Belinda breathed. He was immediately confused with Charles. "Yes, I am there too..."

"That means we should both forget them..." Ibra said in a desperate tone that was like there was no cure.

Belinda could read the despair of this man in front of her. "Married does not mean can not separate, right?"

Ibra. "Sep apart how?"

"Yes split up if the time is right.. anyway we do not want this matchmaking right? Right now we're just following the will of our parents..."

Ibra stared fixedly at Belinda, annoyed. "Huss, marriage can't be such a game..."

"If I wasn't serious I couldn't be this messy. Perhaps, you are not the same as me who fought hard to accept this matchmaking. I do like other girls but that does not mean making a marriage playful. When I say 'Yes', accept this match, I must accept you to be my wife for life, and so must you accept me as a husband you must respect. Not thinking about things as you think..."

Purnama jerks.

---000---

...Marriage can't be a game like that...

...If I wasn't serious, I wouldn't be this messy...

Ibra's words continued to ring in his ears. True, a wedding is not a playground that can be abandoned when it is no longer liked.

Belinda stared at the ring that had been coiled on her ring finger. Is this ring a symbol that he is already tied to a man and can not act carelessly?

Belinda breathed. His chest felt tightened by the feeling of being suddenly overwhelmed. Did he have to stop everything bravely without caring about the surroundings?

"You haven't slept?" Suddenly there was a voice at the door. Belinda then looked.

"Sister..."

Adam went further into the room. Actually, he had been watching Full Moon at the door. "Is there something you're thinking about, Bel?"

To her sister, Belinda never tried to hide her feelings. "Yes brother... I was confused...

"Struck?..." Adam asked while looking intently at his sister.

"Yes, confused. Do I really have to get married now?"

Adam's forehead shriveled. "meaning?"

"Sister Ibra said, getting married is not a game. So you can't just quit if you're bored..."

Belinda raised her face. Her beautiful face seemed to imply sadness and anxiety. "That's the problem.., if this marriage is that serious how will I part with Brother Ibra someday. I don't love him and I don't want to marry him. I received this matchmaking because of papi but that doesn't mean I'm going to take it seriously..."

Adam breathed a heavy sigh. It seems that his sister is not ready for this marriage. "But sister noticed you're getting close to Ibra. You asked him to talk..."

"That's not a conversation that familiarizes brother. It was just ordinary talk. Brother what should I do?" The tone that slid from Belinda's lips sounded like a heart-wrenching plea.

"Sorry Bel, brother can't help. Papi does seem to start healthy on the outside but inside is not as healthy as the eyes look. Doctor Firman said personally about it to brother. Brother himself kept it a secret from you and papi. Now this papi looks healthy because he is too happy with the marriage. It seems that Ibra is the daughter-in-law of papi's servant."

Deg. Belinda felt that something had struck her heart and she was unaware. Indeed, since Ibra entered the life of papi, papi looks more cheerful and his face was beaming. Whereas before, after the death of mami, papi's face always looked grim.

"So, I beg you Bel, accept this match with sincerity." Adam continues. "Take this your last favor back to Papi. Don't show your rejection in front of him again so that his happiness is perfect. You had your marriage with Ibra as best you could. About love and not love, let it be a business later. Keep away from negative thoughts. Try to open your heart to Ibra like Ibra who is learning to open your heart to you."

Adam stopped his words for a moment. Carefully looked at the beautiful face of Belinda who is now bowed. Apparently, the younger brother began to realize his mistake in thinking that is easily emotional and often bad to think of something that is visible on the surface only.

"Self sad, because it has disappointed papi. Brother can not maintain self-respect until it must end with an unwanted marriage papi. That means brother has not been able to repay papi's services. That's why you're the only one you can hope for."

Adam stroked the head of the loving Full Moon. "You don't have to accept all of brother's explanations today either. You can think about it more deeply tonight. Rest assured, papi doing this is for your good. No parent wants their daughter to suffer. Maybe according to papi, Ibra is the best husband for you..."

Purnama took a long breath. Then, he drowned his head into the chest of the brother asking to be hugged. Of course Adam immediately grabbed Belinda's body into his arms.

Seriate...
