Hazars.
Not like most men in general. Who is good at seducing and expressing his heart. He is a stiff person, even he is not too open to Mama and Papa. In his mind marrying Alin alone was enough to prove his affection and love for the woman.
When Hazar was twenty-seven years old (Five years ago). His family was invited by Papa Haris to dinner at Grandpa Setyo's house. Tomi's grandfather had just been allowed to go home after undergoing hospitalization for almost three weeks. Because Papa Haris is the one who takes care of Tomi's grandfather directly. So Tomi's grandfather was very happy with the invitation, he invited Papa Adi, Mama Rosa and Hazar to participate in fulfilling the invitation from the doctor who had treated him.
Later that night, the Hazar family is jamued by Setyo's grandfather and Papa Haris with various sumptuous dishes. That night only David is introduced to the Hazar family. There was no Alin there, not even his shadow was visible that night.
Hazar's phone rang a sign of a call coming in. He also asked permission to take a phone call. Hazar walks over and talks to the person across the phone, until without realizing it his foot leads him to Alin's place. Hazar stood staring at the rather strange sight before him.
A woman who had just jumped over the fence next to the house, then walked by slacking like a thief. Hazar just watched the incident from his place. It was unexpected that the woman walked closer to him.
“Aww...!” Alin accidentally butts Hazar's stomach. Because he walked with eyes that glanced somewhere. “Sorry!” exclaimed Alin, rubbing his head. He only glanced at Hazar for a moment then continued his footsteps, still in a sagging manner.
“Nona!” screamed at a waiter who saw Alin.
“Uussst..!” Alin put his index finger on the lip of the sign telling the waiter to be quiet. “What Papa is at home?” whispered Alin.
“What Alin has gone home, Aunty?!”
Alin's eyes were wide. He rushed out of the kitchen when he heard the voice of his father. He's hiding behind Hazar. His hands tightly clasped Hazar's back shirt.
“No-Miss Alin.. may already be Mr.” replied The Servant nervously.
Haris realizes Hazar's whereabouts there. “Loh... Nak Hazar!” Haris stepped closer to where Hazar was standing.
When Papa Haris approached Hazar, he placed his right shoulder against the side of the door. Helped hide Alin behind her. Hazar is confused as to why he petrified this woman. And this is not him at all.
“Om!”
“Is the phone done? Let's go in.. the others are waiting.”
“Iya Om. I'll be in in a minute.”
“Alright! Om first.” Papa Haris came back out of the kitchen.
“Huuhh... Just barely!” Alin breathed a sigh of relief, after her Papa had drifted away.
Hazar felt something hit his back. He also twisted his neck.
It was Alin who hit his head against Hazar's back.
Alin took a breath. “Still!” alin. Then it passed away from there, without even glancing at Hazar in the slightest.
Hazar looked at Alin's back until it disappeared behind the wall. Hazar felt something was strange about her. She dislikes being touched by strangers, but she doesn't feel it in Alin.
Since that day there have been several unexpected encounters between them. Only Hazar realized that.
They met in a hotel elevator.
Sitting face to face in a cafe even with a different table, the distance between them is not too far. But Alin seemed to not recognize him at all.
Because Alin's presence is too conspicuous of most women around him makes Hazar curious. He enlists the services of a private detective to find out about Alin.
The stupidest thing Hazar ever did. He asked about his feelings for g**gle. He himself was confused by how he felt. Whatever it says, g**gle always gives an answer. That he's in love. Because of his lack of character, Hazar immediately told Mama and her Papa, if he wanted to marry a woman named Alin.
Disappointed! Had Hazar felt, when his proposal was rejected Papa Haris. But one day later he immediately got the blessing of his future father-in-law, after he tried to convince the father who had the child.
Hazar is trying to forget. But, two days later Grandpa Setyo came to see her.
“Alih just being sapped that day. He fell asleep after celebrating his graduation with his friends. And now he's on holiday out of town. He will see you after he comes home later.” Grandpa Setyo said that day.
Of course Hazar doesn't believe that shit. But out of respect for Grandpa, he just smiled and nodded as a sign that he heard all of Grandpa's words.
The night after his meeting with Grandpa Setyo. He immediately got some shocking news.
“Alin and her family have decided on your wedding day.” Mama Rosa said excitedly, holding out a file to her. “Congratulations, darling! Mama will finally have a daughter-in-law this month. Mama can't wait to pet a grandchild!” mama Rosa's.
Hazar just smiled wryly, he knew something was wrong with all this. But because he also did not want to refuse the marriage, he agreed. This is what he wanted.
Five days later, he learned that his future wife had attempted suicide. Hazar was prejudiced that Alin committed suicide because she had to marry him. She does not believe the news that Alin committed suicide because she could not help her Nanny's Aunt. But because the desire to have more dominating, making Hazar ignore all that. He wanted Alin to be his wife.
On the first night of her wedding, Hazar had no job at the time. But to cover his nervousness he also asked for a job from Karin and Pak Naf. Until he had to stay up all night. That night there were only a few files that he had to check, at normal times maybe only one to two hours the file could have been completed. But it took him up to six hours to finish everything. Because his eyes are more often staring at the mattress than the laptop screen.

“What's still a long time?” hazar asked impatiently, it felt like he had been in the car long enough, but had not reached the villa of Mama Diana.
“Still in about three hours, Mr.” replied Mr. Sukri a little anxious. His master's face looked impatient.
Hazar let out a long sigh and exhaled violently. He is very worried at the moment. What if Alin refuses to go back with him, what should he do? Does he have to be as selfish as he used to be, which is not as important as Alin's feelings. Most importantly, his wife returned to his side.

“We've arrived, Mr.” Said Mr. Sukri after a minute ago he had parked the car into the villa yard. But his master stayed in the car.
Sukri opens the car door for Hazar.
Hazar immediately regained consciousness from his daydream. He looked around.
“What time is it now?”
“Jam eight, Mr.”
Hazar got out of the car, coinciding with the opening of the villa door from the inside. A woman came out from there, and came straight towards him.
“Goodnight, Mr.”
Hazar did not say, he just kept quiet while staring at the door of the villa that was left open.
“Please enter, Sir. Miss Alin is asleep.” Tami said, as if understanding what Hazar was watching.
“Sleep?” repeat Hazar frowning, it's still too late to sleep.
“Yes, Sir, Miss Alin has been sleeping since this afternoon.”
