" I'm sorry I can't stop by Rea, I have to go back to the office" said Ekema no less the car she was driving had entered into the yard of Rea's house , " it's okay Gem , instead I thank you for driving me home "reward the beautiful woman, then get ready to get off when the car she was riding in almost arrived at the main door of her house.
" Thank you again Echoes "he said smiling then glancing at the eyes that were now looking at him ' he immediately got out of the car with a heart that kept beating so hard , " be careful "he said now after being outside the car.
Echoes still have not run the car with eyes that keep looking at Rea make the woman more nervous, "i'm sorry Rea, I promise I will quickly solve this problem " suddenly from the mouth of the echo.
Rea nodded slowly, though he knew the man meant what he said but it no longer made him care and worry about the problems they were facing , only he is now able to solve everything.
Unknowingly his eyes stared unblinkingly at Echo , his mind telling him what the fate of the man would be if he refused to marry her, "Rea " call Echoes who are confused as to why the woman looked at him for so long.
" Omm yeah, be careful Gem "
" What's up Rea ? " ask Echoes worriedly, "is my father so pressing you ? " he asked again and it managed to surprise him but tried to remain invisible, "no no, your father was not that nice to me "he replied with a smile.
" Well, promise to tell me if she calls you back and keeps asking us to get married "
" Yes Echoes "
" Alright I go, take care of yourself Rea "said Echoes that sound so deep, "wait Echoes" said Rea suddenly before the man returned to drive his car.
" Yes Rea "
" What if we ended up actually getting married "
A moment of silence with two pairs of eyes that look at each other meaningfully , "ceh " Echoes squeaked then then laughed as it felt funny with a sentence that had just come out of the woman's mouth before her.
" What's on your mind Rea, surely it's impossible isn't it ? " he said, still laughing.
why this time the man's laughter did not look beautiful in his eyes, it made his heart suddenly feel sore and then he was forced to smile , " yes you're right it's really very unlikely "he said with a slightly scratched heart.
" Alright I go first Rea" said Echo before finally really continuing the pace of his car.
Rea still did not move from where he was standing at the moment even though the Echoes car had disappeared from his sight "what you have in mind Rea , you have truly humiliated yourself " his mutter who now hates himself who he did not realize in fact he did not like the answer that came out of the mouth of Echoes.

With his body still in bath pajamas and hair wrapped around a towel he leaned his body on the side of a long chair inside his bedroom facing the garden , the sun towards dusk and the still dim light rays of the garden did not look beautiful to him at this time.
His mind kept glaring at every remark that came out of Frans' mouth a few hours ago, "is it really beneficial to me "he murmured as the sentence about having offspring was vividly remembered in his brain.
" Uncle has a point, at least my advantage here is getting offspring with Frans antonio lineage and it's very interesting "he said who immediately enforce his sitting position because it was so excited , " but how's Bella ? " he added again and a moment back to thinking , he should not feel so selfish to hurt his fellow women and he very much understands what pain is like in that.
" But it is not that this marriage benefits them as well , yes it is true that if I marry Gema at least she will remain the heir of her family fortune and I get offspring "
" All of this just needs an agreement on a paper" he said with all the ideas now lodged in his head.

Today feels so complicated for Frans Antonio's only son, there is nothing more filling his brain than thinking about how to solve the problems he is facing.
His mind was focused on solving this problem so that the woman would go back to living her life well without her father's insistence on a silly marriage, and he didn't realize that it was actually all about Rea.
" You just got back ? " ask the middle-aged woman who walked up to him.
" Yes mam "the answer was short and seemed so weak ', Elba's eyes narrowed and stared in full search at her son who looked so chaotic '" what happened Echoes ? "
" No mam I'm just tired of "saw Echoes with both sides of slightly curved lips, "sorry I have to rest " he added that he briefly peeked at the top of his mother's head and walked back to his bedroom.
Not long after the sound of the car was heard again, making Elba again turn his steps towards the main door even though his gaze had not turned away from his only son, "Hey dear "welcome Frans so dear to his wife.
" Is everything okay ? " tanya Elba approached ,
" of course "
" Yes, that's obvious from your face "
" Battle, I wait at the dinner table" Elba said to her husband and the man nodded with a smiling face, "emmm wait baby, did Echoes come home ? ".
" It's been , he just arrived before you came "
Frans gave a small nod, "make sure he has dinner with us" he said before walking back to the room where he rested with his wife.
Elba remained silent for a moment and stared alternately at her husband's back and the door of her son's room which was now visible from his place "what really happened ? " he muttered suspiciously, then slowly walked towards the door of the room he had been seeing since.
Tok tok tok tok " repeatedly Elba knocked on his son's bedroom door but there was no answer, "The echo of Mami will enter "he said as he pressed slowly on the doorknob.
" Mam " cried Echoes in surprise with a towel wrapped around the lower half of his body.
" Mommy has knocked on the door repeatedly but since there is no answer mom goes straight in " explains Elba to her son, "what's wrong mam ? " tanya Ekema while walking towards the walking closet in her room and Elba chose to sit on a medium-sized sofa that was in the room.
" What happened between you and your father ? " he asked slowly but thoroughly.
A moment of silence and no answer from his son, "did father not tell you anything mam ? " ask back Echoes.
" No , the last time I knew he was so worried because you didn't come home that night and after looking for you he came back with a face so happy , what exactly happened Echoes ? "
" Mommy will definitely know for herself later" replied Echoes weakly as she walked back to her bedroom with the clothes of the house already attached to her body.
" I was just wondering what had made her so happy? , this was the first time I saw her smile again" said Elba, hearing that Echoes were silent for a moment and staring at her mother's face.
" When you choose to remain in a relationship with your lover, since then there has never been a happy smile from him so I was so surprised to see him smile again like these few days " continued Elba with a unidirectional gaze and a glaring mind, but before long he woke up from his seat, "if it is finished come down son, son , your father wants us to enjoy dinner together tonight and please don't let him down "he asked Gema and then left his son's bedroom.
Echoes were still silent with his mixed feelings and thoughts, all his current feelings mixed into one forming an overwhelming sense of dilemma in him ,
he could not deny that he was also happy when he heard his father was happy lately and he knew the origin of his father's happiness was actually a boomerang for himself , " are you so happy just with me marrying Rea's father ! "
" It's actually easy dad, just that I can't bear to force Rea's happiness just to make you happy "he murmured fretfully.
