Melati and Nathan's wedding

“Mother, Nathan I will answer now,” said Melati.

“Have you really thought about it?” ask Ratna's mother.

“Already Mom, but before that there is something I want to tell you,” said Melati seriously.

“What is Melati?” ask Nathan.

“About my origin, because all this time I never told you who and where I came from. So that if one day something happens this child knows the truth,” Melati stroked her stomach gently.

“Alright, we will listen to it until it is finished,” said Ms. Ratna.

“When I had a lover named Mas Barjo he was the father of this child, he was a subordinate of my Father. Father is a respected person our family has blue blood descendants.”

“Then how did you get like this?” ask Ratna's mother.

“Actually Mas Barjo had come to the house to propose to me but, Father refused even insulted him because Mas Barjo is a regular people whose life is simple,” said Melati with a sad face.

“Father set me up with Mas Tejo, but when my application event fell ill, I was checked by Mantri and from there I just found out if I was pregnant,” continued Melati.

“Then how do you run because in a matchmaker?” ask Nathan.

“Not, I ran because Mr and Mas Tejo want to abort this child,” said Melati.

“Crazy! it was his own grandson how could he be that lofty. Then what about your lover Melati? Did he find out if you escaped?” ask Nathan.

“No Nathan, mas Barjo is dead. He was slandered by Mas Tejo, the instigated citizens finally came and burned his house while mas Barjo was inside,” Melati looks very sad.

“I actually went with my friend to hide to his brother's house, but while I was waiting for him to go to the toilet my bag was snatched by someone and I chased after him until finally meeting Ms. Ratna.”

“That includes criminal acts, why not report the arson to the police?”

“Mother is sorry about what you experienced Melati, I also did not expect there to be such a cruel person,” said Ms Ratna.

“But you are now safe to be here with us Jasmine, so what's your answer?” ask Nathan.

“Do you still want to accept me with what I told you earlier?” ask Melati.

“Whatever and how your past may be I will not change my mind Melati,” Nathan said.

“Really?”

“Of course, I was the one who never pulled my own words,” Nathan said.

“Well Nathan, I'm ready.”

Hearing the words from Melati a happy smile immediately emanated from the faces of Nathan and Mother Ratna, a smile of sumringah was clearly painted on Nathan's face.

that day Nathan took care of everything needed for the wedding, while Ms. Ratna took care of the clothes that Melati would wear later.

A few days later Natahan and Melati held a very simple wedding, only attended by several families and relatives of Ms. Ratna.

Melati looks very graceful and beautiful when wearing white kebaya even Nathan was festering to see it. A happy smile emanated clearly from the two.

I can finally get my happiness back. Mumbles Jasmine in the heart.

The wedding went well, congratulations kept coming from Nathan's relatives and friends.

If only Father and Mother were here, and witnessed my happiness, said Melati in her mind.
