When she reached the Mansion, Alika came down from Jacky's back with a satisfied smile. He was very happy today because Jacky took him for a walk to the tree house. Instantly the look on his face turned flat upon seeing near the entrance of the Mansion, Zein looked at him with a cold and stiff face.
"Ah, I have to prepare physically and mentally to deal with it. You stiff man like wood!" Lirih Alika's.
Dimitri immediately approached Alika and took over Jacky.
"Thank you Dimitri, Jacky's so good, I love him." Said Alika smiling sweetly releasing Jacky.
"Come Miss, don't smile like that at me, Mr. Zein saw it." Inner Dimitri.
"Dimitry!?" Call Alika because Dimitri doesn't answer her.
"Yes.yes Miss, Excuse me." Dimitri takes Jacky to the cage while Alika steps towards the door of the Mansion.
Leisurely Alika approached Zein, there was no way she could enter the house without greeting Zein who was staring at her with a face without expression.
"Where have you been? why just got home? what time is it? don't you know we're all worried about you? worried about your situation?" Lecar Zein.
Alika was annoyed, too many questions Zein did not need to answer. "Why worry about me? didn't I let you go riding? your attitude is excessive! I am big and able to take care of myself. No need to be lebay!" Upset Alika.
"You!" Grumpily Zein.
"I'm tired, hungry and taking a shower, are you done with the anger? if I want to go in. Excuse me, dear Mr. Zein!" Alika exclaimed then entered into the Mansion leaving Zein with a reddened face holding back anger.
"Based on bar-bar girls don't know themselves! I shouldn't care about him." Pissed Zein.
Zein walked into the Mansion towards her study. His mind was muddled every time he spoke to Alika. Alika always makes her emotions explode. He pressed his temple many times, he needed a chatter but who? He wouldn't bother Ramon if it wasn't too important.
Tok..
"Zein, can Papa come in?" Ask Prayoga.
"Of course Dad." Zein said he saw Prayoga open the door.
Prayoga went inside and sat leaning on the sofa.
"How are you guys related?" Ask Prayoga.
"Me and Alika?" Zein asked his forehead.
"Yes who else? Papa is sure Alika is a good girl and suits you. Grandpa couldn't possibly match you up with her if she wasn't a good girl. Make him feel at home and accept this match. Grandpa's coming tomorrow, Papa hope you don't disappoint Grandpa." Prayoga.
"Grandfather is coming? that fast? Me and Alika are still no match, and we both don't want this wedding Pah! I have to how to deal with grandfather?" Ask Zein.
"Why Ask Papa? that's Zein's business." Answer Prayoga.
"What about Mama? does he agree?" Ask Zein.
"What did Calista do?" Ask Zein.
"You don't know if Calista caused Jacky to run like a mad horse? She wants to hurt Alika because she doesn't want you to marry her. That's why Papa didn't like it when he approached you, she's a cunning girl who would do anything to get what she wanted." Prayoga.
"So, she lied to me, huh? she said Alika was just walking around with Jacky." Zein.
"Zazkia told Mama how Calista tried to harm Alika. Zaskia's afraid of talking to you so she's in Mama's room." Prayoga.
"Nonsense, Where's Calista? I won't forgive him, Dad! Calista has crossed the line." Zein growled because Calista dared to lie to him.
"He's home! Never mind, such a woman is not worth your thought. He approached our family because there was another purpose and purpose. Unlike Alika, she is what she is. She doesn't like you but wants to accept this match because she respects her grandfather's decision. He was willing to come to this Mansion willingly because it was Papa and Hendrik's decision to bring you closer. He was a submissive child and willing to sacrifice his own happiness for the sake of the family. Looking for a good wife, you should see how to behave with both parents. If she was affectionate, considerate, and gentle, surely she would also be like that to her husband and son later." Prayoga.
"But there's no way we're marrying Pah, I still love Monika. Me and Alika are like Tom and Jerry who will never get along. She's a bar-bar woman who likes to be carefree. I also don't know how the life he's living out there. He could have a girlfriend, too." Pissed Zein.
"Hahaha.hate and love thin difference Zein. You knew? Mom and Dad were like that before we got married. We hate each other, but if we don't see each other in a day, Papa gets agitated and keeps thinking about it. Is that how you feel?" Ask Prayoga.
Zein was silent. He recalled how very agitated he was when Alika had not been back all day.
"The matter of Monika, forget about that woman, she already left you when you needed her. She's not the right woman for you, either, Zein. His love is also fake. If he loves you sincerely, he will be with you no matter what your circumstances, whether you are sick or poor he will stand by you. Now look what he's doing, he's gone when he finds out you're paralyzed and can't keep him company. Do you think such a woman deserves your love? Does a woman like that deserve our thought? while he's having fun out there with who you don't know either." Prayoga.
Zein kept silent digesting every word Prayoga thought was all true.
"Think Zein! The opportunity comes only once. Try to open your heart to Alika and make peace with her. One more thing, he is willing to marry you even though you are in a crippled state, it is not easy to find such a girl Zein. If Alika leaves this house, Papa is sure you will regret it someday." Prayoga Advice.
Prayoga patted Zein's thinking shoulder. He immediately left Zein with a smile because he felt that Zein was receiving and hearing every word.
After Prayoga's departure, Zein felt a dilemma. Between wanting to wait for Monika or continuing the matchmaking with Alika.
Zein took his cell phone and called Monika. He tried many times, but the operator always answered him.
"Are you too busy to pick up the phone you don't have time?" Grumpily Zein.
For a year, Monika never picked up her phone, nor did Monika change her phone number and never called Zein again.
"It looks like I should talk to that bar-bar girl. But how? he's always willing and unwilling to obey me." Monologue Zein was upset.
