Albern and Lily
Anger

"What does Aunt mean?" Albern looks to be linking his eyebrows together.

Carissa seemed to be sighing for a moment.

"Tante knows you have the ability to erase all of Lily's news. But what you do is like giving painkillers when sick without addressing the source of the disease itself. Auntie knows how you feel about Lily without a doubt, Albern. But right now Lily's really not ready to stand next to you. He needs time to mature. He also needs space to realize his dream of becoming someone great. He should focus on education and trying to achieve his dream. For this reason, Aunt and her Papa Lily will send Lily abroad to continue her business education. He will also learn a lot about business in person and maybe he can start building his business there, too" explained Carissa.

Albern seemed to disagree.

"Why should you continue your education abroad, Auntie? Can't he still go to college here? Besides, if Lily wants to learn business firsthand, I can teach her. I'm also willing to help if he wants to build his business here. Why did he have to go abroad?"

Carissa smiled faintly. Although he also feels quite emotional, but still can be calm.

"Aren't you also studying business abroad?" Carissa asked back.

Albern was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, right. But it can be said to be just a family tradition that has been done since my grandfather's time. So I have to do it that way too" he replied later.

"Albern, if Lily wants to be with you without the scorn of many people, then she should be on par with you. He has to be an amazingly successful person without your shadow" Carissa said.

Albern.

"If she learns from you, then her whole life, Lily will be branded as it is written in the news. Even if he later succeeds, then everyone will associate his success with your big name. It would be a burden to Lily. As parents, we don't want our only daughter to be underestimated like that. Aunty sure, you also do not accept if there is something to demean Lily," said Carissa again.

"Tante knows, it's kind of hard for you to wait for Lily. You must have been urged by your parents to get married soon. But if the situation is as it is today, let alone give blessing to get married, giving blessing just for you guys to be in a relationship will be very difficult for us. Lily's our only daughter, Albern. We don't want him to force himself to be with you right now, to lose his identity, then fall and fall."

Albern was still silent and seemed to be thinking.

"Did Aunt and Uncle Evan tell Lily about this?" ask Albern later.

"No, not yet" replied Carissa.

"We were just talking about it when we got back from your house. After this we will talk about it to Lily. Lily may not accept right away, but after that she will realize that that's what she has to do now" Carissa continued.

Albern was silent again. Although his heart is heavy and wants to refuse, but not denied, Lily is still not too mature. His mind is often still childish and he also still has to learn many things.

"And if you are sincere and want the best for Lily, you will not mind waiting a little more" Carissa said once again as she got up from her seat.

"There's still something Auntie has to do inside. Auntie has to come in first."

Albern also got up from his seat, as it seemed that Carissa had asked him to come home subtly.

"Then, excuse me, Auntie," said Albern politely.

Carissa nodded her head.

"Albern," call Carissa when Albern is about to pass.

Albern turned his head and looked towards Carissa.

"The only woman I want to accompany me in all circumstances is Lily. I don't want anyone but Lily" Albern said firmly.

"Of course whatever Aunt and Uncle Evan are planning for Lily's good, I will support her. I'll definitely wait for Lily. But before that, I have to talk to Uncle Evan. I have to make sure of something before Lily actually resumes her studies abroad,"

Replacing the silent Carissa.

"Please tell Uncle Evan if I want to talk to him. Tell me if Uncle Evan has time, I'll come, '" Albern said.

Carissa did not answer. He stared at the face of Albern who looked very serious. Carissa knew that Albern really had deep feelings for Lily. He was also in a sense of solemnity and sincerity from Albern's words earlier. But Albern's identity, which has an extraordinary background, makes a genuine love for Lily not enough. Because love can fade with time if there is no continuity between the two.

"Alright, Aunt will tell her Papa Lily if you want to talk to her," said Carissa finally.

Albern nodded, then withdrew. The man passed from Carissa's presence. Shortly afterwards, his car drove out of Doctor Evan's residence.

Carissa finally moved from the living room after being stunned for a while. And suddenly he was surprised when he almost hit Lily who was behind the wall sealing the living room.

"Lilly?" Carissa looked at her daughter with a slight frown.

Lily stood leaning her body against the wall. His eyes looked towards Carissa with somewhat glazed.

"Why should I go abroad, Ma?" ask her with sadness.

Carissa did not answer. It seems Lily heard her conversation with Albern earlier. He was a little confused as to how to explain it to his daughter.

"Jawab, Ma. Why should I go abroad? I can still go to college and make my dreams come true here. Why do I have to go so far from here?" ask Lily again.

Carissa approached Lily and tried to touch her daughter's shoulder, but she avoided it.

"I thought Mama would support and help me. But apparently Mama also wanted to keep me away from Kak Al. What is our fault? We love each other and are not in a forbidden relationship. Why did Mama and Papa make the situation so difficult?" ask Lily again.

"Dear, it's not like that. Mama and Papa just want what's best for you" Carissa said.

"I really don't understand what Mom and Dad think. All I know is that every parent wants their child to be happy. Why do you want to separate me from Brother Al? Why do you want to torture my feelings? Why, Ma?" Lily seems to be getting emotional.

"Lilly ..." Carissa approached and wanted to hug Lily, but the girl pushed her mother's body.

"I hate Mama. I hate Papa. You're ruthless!" Lily exclaimed with tears rushing down her cheeks.

"Lilly!" The sound of Evan's thunderous voice shocked Lily and Carissa as well.

Seriate...
