In the morning Mayang was busy preparing breakfast with his grandmother. Andre had just walked out of his room, then approached them in the kitchen.
There was still a clear look of concern on Andre's face. He was unable to sleep all night, due to thinking too much about the problem of misunderstanding.
"Come eat first, we'll be home this afternoon, right?" mayang asked while keeping two dishes of fried rice on the dining table. Followed by the Grandma who brought a plate of porridge for herself.
Andre sat his body in one of the chairs that were circular at the dining table. Then they all ate their food.
"Why does my brother look a little strange, even his eyes look so cute. Is Bang Andre having a problem?" muttered Mayang inwardly, while staring at Andre at a glance.
Andre looks not so appetizing, he just stirred the fried rice on the plate using a spoon, and only a few times he put the fried rice into his mouth.
"Ah... o Allah... I must how?" inner Andre. "Yes I married Selly out of misunderstanding" she said.
"Devents."
"Dragon!"
"Abangs... Andre...." Mayang called him a little screaming, making Andre's daydreams spread.
"Huh? Yes what?" It seems that Andre is indeed dumbfounded and unfocused.
"What the hell is it! There's a problem again, right?" mayang asked in surprise, while again feeding a spoonful of fried rice into his mouth.
"Hm.yeah, yes" he answered.
"What's the matter Ndre? Looks like last night after the pharmacy you looked so anxious?" ask the Grandma.
"Eh, wait ...." Mayang slightly leaned his body towards Andre, looking so carefully at his brother's handsome face.
Then Mayang rounded his eyes wide. "Ang! ... Brother is fighting, huh? There was a bruise on the corner of my lips. This is also, in the temple Abang kok blue-blue that's it!" Mayang only realized that actually there was something wrong with his brother.
"Oh my God, here Grandma look." His grandmother looked at the face of his handsome grandson.
"Yes Allah... Ndre... Did you fight?" ask Grandma not to believe.
Andre who could not dodge, he nodded his head slowly, "yes Nek," he replied.
"Astagfirullah Abang... Why can you fight? Who is Bang's brother? How can it make a wound on your lip?" mayang asked so worriedly.
Andre just sighed then exhaled slowly. "Hm.. you guys spend the first meal, after that we will talk in the TV room, there is something I want to talk to Grandma and you Ayang," said Andre, he immediately sipped a glass of water nearby, then passed first to the TV room.
Mayang and Grandma were just staring at each other in wonder. "Let's spend the food first, it seems something important happened to Bang Andre.

—In villa rose.—
"Sir, last night's problem wasn't it too much for us to marry Selly to the guy?" tanya Ningsih who was arranging the dishes on the dining table.
"Yes too, come to think of it last night you were too carried away by emotions to not be able to think clearly," replied Setyo while holding his chin with both hands on the dining table.
"Then how? I'm ashamed of that man" said Ningsih. "Eh, but sir, this can also be a good opportunity anyway, so that our child does not fail to marry, just change her future husband," said Ningsih said a little smile on his lips.
Setyo seemed to be thinking hard, he stared blankly straight ahead. "Hm. I don't know, you haven't decided anything on this matter yet."
Shortly afterwards Selly had just come down the stairs, came to the kitchen to approach them, then sat her body in one of the chairs near the dining table.
Still looks of anxiety and worry on Selly's face. The woman was completely inexhaustible about her Father's decision last night that almost made her heart dislodged.
After a few minutes of looking down, Selly finally ventured to look at the Father and Mother.
"Eat," said Ningsih offering a plate of food complete with fried tilapia and sambal and Selly's favorite raw vegetables.
So even with Setyo and Ningsih they directly devoured the food on their plates.
While devouring his food, Selly actually already felt unable to bear to express his heart. But he knew it was meal time, certainly not a good time to discuss overnight.
After finishing her meal, Selly finally opened her voice, breaking the silence between them.
"Sir, Ma'am, Selly wanted to talk about last night's problems" he said.
Setyo suddenly stopped eating, remaining a little more, followed by Ningsih. After you have finished sipping a glass of mineral water. Setyo can open his voice.
"What do you want to talk about?" ask her with a characteristic voice that is so big and bass.
"I don't want to force Andre's doctor to marry me. He's not wrong sir, last night was just a misunderstanding."
"But no matter how brave he is to carry you, even bring you into the dark room alone."
"But sir, I know what Andre meant by taking me to that room was just trying to help me, protect me from that last night's criminals."
Setyo was silent for a moment, before he returned to his voice. He breathed deeply. "Then are you ready, with the gossip circulating later? A rumor that could tarnish our family's good name? Failing to get married, being alone with another man too, are you ready huh"
Sally lowered her head, her eyes were already glazed over, the puddles of clear liquid on both of her eyelids were as strong as she could bear, she did not want to show the fall of tears in front of her parents.
"But Sir... Selly also does not want to get married because of the forced," replied Selly who still lowered her head.
"The father just wants you to take responsibility for what you're going through."
"But sir, marriage also requires love, at least mutual love."
"Oh, you are, if the matter of love can follow," replied Setyo.
"But sir, to be ready for marriage also needs space and time, not a moment to want," said Selly with a voice that began to cling to her throat, as if something heavy was blocking her from making a sound.
"Selly baby.. Don't you feel sorry for your parents, son? I don't want you to be our family's gossip because of the failure of your marriage. Especially if our relatives found out about the problem last night, our family could be degraded."
"But Ma! The only thing we know about last night is that no one else knows."
"Selly you know, son, the slightest bad news will easily spread to the good news. Walls alone can speak from house to house. You don't know, son, how the hearing of that man is so sharp. It could have been someone who eavesdropped on our debate last night and made it as a gift for people, not to mention that everyone who said it would not be the same, some reduce there are exaggerations," ningsih.
Selly who has been upset and disappointed in both parents. Without saying goodbye he immediately went out just like that, leaving Ningsih and Setyo who were still loyal to sit on the dining table chair.
"How is this, sir?" asked Ningsih with her face that looked so anxious.
"Mother doesn't know, either" Setyo replied before he finally left for the living room.
