Thinking of the Happiness of Others
"You're this sassy guy who wants to propose to a girl like Zahra..?" Said Willi hitting her later.
Willi leaves the Gresia residence with a broken feeling he thinks his love is reciprocated but in the end it is not easy to get someone like Zahra.

"Am I wrong, Gresia? " Murm Zahra when they were all gone.
Gresia looked at Zahra who looked sad about Willi who proposed to her in a hurry, Gresia held Zahra's hand and looked at her.
"Do you love Willi? Was the matchmaking you were talking about just a lie? " Say Gresia.
"Look at my eyes Zahra you can't lie to me? "
"I like Willi Gresia but my father and brother have betrothed me to gus Azmi the owner of a boarding school in Bandung. " Say Zahra with watery eyes.
"Why don't you just tell me if you already have someone in your life Zahra, I'm sure your father will understand all that. "
"No Gresia I don't want dad to be disappointed he's my only parent, he's already accepted that matchmaking I won't make him come and apologize for canceling it all. " Say Zahra shrugs her head.
"But you will sacrifice your own feelings Zahra, Willi will be so hurt this time. "
"I don't know Zahra I'm confused.. " Zahra went away leaving Gresia who was staring at his pity.
"Why romance is so complicated and complicated, why did God create hearts if they were not created to be together. "

"I have to what do I tell my father and brother if I love someone else, but what about the men who have proposed to me what they think of my family? " Zahra seems so worried right now.

"It's been even on a melow anyway, let Zahra have all that with her heart aunt believe if Zahra will not choose wrong. " Moera said to stop their conversation.
Gresia and Zahra just smiled at each other with unpredictable thoughts, they went to walk out to the other family.
