Daren's decision to marry Nora is finally considered again. Daren can't bear to take Nora from Ravka who turns out to have no one but Nora. He does not want to take away the happiness of others.
Maybe Daren has to take Nora along with Ravka even though it's very heavy. He regretted only knowing about Ravka after she fell too deep into Nora. If he had been old a long time ago, maybe he could have trained to mengikhlaskan, but it was too late. Everything is going to be very difficult until Daren has to sacrifice something to be able to successfully get out of this situation.
"Dad, Mother!" daren said while the two men's house was ordering some people to prepare for the wedding the day after tomorrow. "Before it's too late, I'd better tell you everything now."
Krish and Nancy stared intently at DAren from their seats. "What do you mean say that?" nancy asked in confusion.
"I won't marry Nora" Daren said frankly.
Silences. None of them spoke. His parents stared at each other tensely, while Daren looked down deeply because he felt presumptuous to say the rejection at the last moment.
"Daren, don't joke!" Krish looked seriously.
"I'm not kidding."
"Why did you suddenly make that decision?"
Daren gulped to pick up a swing. "Nora likes other men. He was waiting for someone who fell into a coma for five years. How could I have come to separate the two of them? I haven't even known them in a year. And ... Nora doesn't like this wedding at all. I can find another woman if you want me to get married now, but I don't want to take Nora from Ravka."
My mom and dad looked at each other.
"Son," said Nancy, patting Daren on the shoulder. "We already know about Ravka."
DAren. He thought his ears were hearing wrong. If they knew about Ravka, why would they still force her to marry Nora? They're not bad people and have a conscience like Daren, Daren knows that.
"If Nora doesn't like you, she won't agree to this marriage. He likes you, Daren." Krish was still staring flatly.
"He agreed to this marriage because he was forced to."
"He can fight his father if he has to. His father said Nora was like that. This time he complied. Nora's just stuck with two choices, and I'm suing you to make her win the first choice, which is to marry you!"
Daren realized his father's words. He does often see the glare of eyes full of love from Nora who has never come out in the form of a voice.
"Don't worry, even though Nora still has feelings for Ravka, she'll still be your wife."
Daren got up from his seat. He headed into his room with a feeling of shock. He did not completely agree with his parents.
Daren what now? Meet Nora and tell the girl that she already knows about Ravka? But Nora has agreed to their marriage which will be held the day after tomorrow. Daren's confusion made him unable to act other than to be silent and pondering,
***
This is a long-awaited day for some of the Nora and Daren families. Not for Nora who is still in the hospital even though the wedding will be held in three hours. Nora still expects Ravka's signs to roar like the ones that appeared a few days ago. Nora wants Ravka to wake up and she's the one who stopped her marriage to DAren before it's too late.
Nora's wait was futile. Andin first invites him to go home and welcomes Ravka. Andin says he'll take care of Ravka after Nora marries Daren. Nora was not calm at all. She was crying in Andin's arms.
Nora kisses Ravka one last time before she leaves the room. After this, she would come here as someone else's wife. Yeah, he gave up. Surrender by force.

Nora was in front of the mirror in a typical white wedding dress. In the back, there was a hairdresser who was tidying up Nora's brownish hair and covering it with a cloth. She was already groomed and ready to go to the wedding altar, where she would be confirmed to be Daren's wife.
"Wow, you look so pretty!" Andin was the happiest when she saw Nora in a wedding dress like this.
Nora glanced towards Andin. She was already unable to cry anymore amidst this thick makeup. Her tears dried up and she didn't have enough energy to cry. "So it feels like this is being betrothed."
Andin smiled smirkily. "You're lucky because the person you're betrothed to is the one who loves you so much."
Nora turned her eyes. What's in it for him if he still expects someone else? This marriage is in vain.
"After Ravka wakes up from her coma, I'll divorce Daren to marry her."
Andin shook his head little. He heard that phrase as a joke. He knows Ravka won't be conscious anytime soon. There may still be two or three more years, and that is not a serious threat. For the next three years, Nora must have forgotten Ravka and fallen in love with Daren, Andin is very sure.
"come here!" Andin grabbed onto Nora's shoulder to hug very tightly. "This is the last time we'll talk to each other in your single condition. In an hour, you're Daren's legal wife."
Nora looked sad. I don't know when the last time he smiled.
"Is everything ready?" asked someone from the doorway, it was the mother of Nora and Andin. "Come, kid. Time to go to the altar."
"Has the bridegroom come?" ask Andin to make sure.
"Not yet, but it's almost too late. You better wait there. The invited guests were almost disappointed at being waiting for too long."
Andin looked towards Nora who was taking a deep breath.
"Remember! You can do it!" whispered Andin while holding both of Nora's exposed shoulders.
Nora tried to neutralize her heart beat. She was ready to accept the risk she would experience once she became Daren's legal wife. "I'm ready!"
Andin nodded proudly.
The two of them walked towards the altar in a sacred atmosphere. The invited guests heaved a sigh of relief at Nora's arrival. They could not wait to see the girl with the groom.
Beautiful comes, though she breaks off her friendship with Nora, she smiles happily seeing Nora in a wedding dress like this. Unfortunately, Oki did not come for some reason, but Nora was looking for the girl in the crowd of reporters who came from her office.
"Geez!" screech someone from the direction of the invited guest chair. "Bad news!" Nora just realized the person who was talking was her mother. He stared tensely.
"The groom won't come!" he shouted while showing a message from inside the phone signifying a message from the Daren family that Daren was not found in his house.
