Because Matchmade
Turns out That's the Cause
One afternoon Aunt Hana told Ayana that later at 8 pm there was a family meeting and Ayana also had to attend. So after taking a shower and getting dressed, Ayana went downstairs.
"Let's have dinner first, son," asked Aunt Hana as soon as she saw Ayana.
"Yes aunty"
It turned out that everyone was present at the dining table. There's Gibran, Raihan and Kaivan's brother sitting there. It seems they are just waiting for Ayana. Ayana felt bad and hurried to sit down.
They ate in silence, for some reason the atmosphere felt so serious. Ayana did not dare to make any sound during the meal.
After finishing eating, Aunt Hana invited them all to gather in the family room. Then let Gibran begin the conversation.
"Ehem tonight we and the family are all gathered here to talk about something important that we have discussed before. Maybe here is only Ayana who does not know," said om Gibran.
"We had a little flashback so that Ayana also knew the condition. So once we, in this case Hana and I, knowing that Hana's best friend had passed away and left a daughter alone, we decided to make Ayana part of our family," obviously about Gibran.
"But not as an adopted son, but as a future son-in-law or rather the future wife of our son."
Ayana gasped, she did not expect the situation to be like this. Who will be betrothed to him? If he could choose he would be more inclined to Raihan than Kaivan who clearly hated him.
"Since Raihan is engaged and will get married soon after Monica finishes her S2 lecture in England, then of course Ayana we match with Kaivan," continued om Gibran.
So I will be betrothed to Kaivan, Ayana muttered in her heart. He was shocked and unprepared for the decision. But whatever the power, he is now a kara and really depends on the goodness of aunt Hana and family. It was impossible for him to reject this decision.
Unknowingly he stole a glance towards Kaivan. It turned out that the guy was also looking at him sharply. His eyes were full of hatred and anger. Is this the cause of Kaivan's hatred for her? He also did not know about this decision.
Ayana hurriedly turned her eyes, unable to look into Kaivan's eyes that were as sharp as a knife as if it could kill him.
"Now we will begin discussions to determine the date when the engagement of Kaivan and Ayana can be carried out, mumpung still in college holidays," said om Gibran further.
"If you want us to do it next Saturday, what do you think?" aunt Hana's proposal is excited.
"May ma, so we set the day to be Saturday next week. From tomorrow, you can contact the EO to finalize our plan, ma" said Gibran.
"Then we close the meeting tonight until here first. Let's set everything up tomorrow and when Kaivan and Ayana can fit their engagement suit" Gibran said.
They all went to their own rooms. Ayana who was still confused walked slowly up the stairs to her room. As soon as he reached the top floor, he felt his hand being pulled by someone who turned out to be Kaivan.
"Gue wants to talk to you elo" he said as he pulled hard Ayana's hand into his room.
"Now you know the reason I hate elo," said Kaivan staring hard into Ayana's eyes.
"Elo's presence has ruined my happiness. If my mom made a decision, I could no longer dispute it. I already have a boyfriend. But because it seems like my mama doesn't like my boyfriend who thinks he's a thug, he's setting me up as good and telling me to break up" Kaivan explained in a tone filled with anger and hatred.
"But I don't know about that either, I just found out tonight. If I could, I would reject it, too, "Ayana tried to explain.
"But you can't refuse" Kaivan said cynically.
Ayana shook her head slowly. Once again he felt his eyes heat up. He tried hard not to cry in front of Kaivan because he knew his crying would only make things worse. Kaivan would hate him even more.
"Because this can not be canceled anymore, I want to apply the terms that must be agreed," Kaivan said firmly.
"We will still be engaged, but I also remain in a relationship with my girlfriend Jessica and you should not mind" Kaivan told Ayana.
Ayana bit her lower lip, she could not shed a tear in front of Kaivan. What kind of engagement will he live with while Kaivan does not want to part with his lover. But he could only agree to those terms.
"Okay it's up to you. If there is no more, I want to go back to my room" said Ayana without looking into Kaivan's eyes and move to open the door.
Kaivan rubbed his face violently the moment after Ayana passed. Plunged his body into the bed. While staring at the ceiling of her room she said inwardly whether she was not too rude with Ayana. Because that girl doesn't know about any of this either.
But because he got into this family that's why all this happened.
A moment Jessica's face went into her daydream. They have been dating for 3 years and she has introduced Jessica to her family.
But because of Jessica's tomboyish and cute style, it seems like her mother does not like her boyfriend. And it just so happened that Ayana finally came into their family, this moment used by her mother to separate her from Jessica.
Kaivan is very angry and resentful towards Ayana after hearing her parents' decision. Especially after getting acquainted with Ayana, he was more convinced that his heart would not be interested in the girl.
He used to love the type of girl who is tomboyish, independent and indifferent. It's not like Ayana who seems whiny, spoiled and still childish. Where maybe he can live together if their characters do not match and contradict each other.
It's impossible to live a household life with people we don't like or hate. Shouldn't a marriage bond begin with affection between the two?
Kaivan hates imagining a lifetime of having to deal with a whiny girl like Ayana. He would have easily felt emotional towards the girl if finally their marriage remained forced.
Therefore, before anything happens, Kaivan is determined to thwart his mother's plans and will do everything in his power to cancel their match. And finally get married to Jessica.
