Melati who listened to the sound of her father knocking and called her also opened the door of her room.


 


“Ya Sir what is it?” jasmine with soft.


 


“Let's have dinner your mother has prepared her cooking since earlier.”


 


“Iya Pak.”


 


“You've been crying Melati, still you're crying for that Barjo?” ki Damar to Melati.


 


“Melati don't love Tejo Pak!” Melati who confirms to her Father.


 


“Ah love, love. What with the love of your life can be happy Melati! You do not want to know you forget the Barjo or the Father who will teach a lesson to the Barjo,” threatened Ki Damar.


 


“Don't Sir, Mas Barjo is not wrong anything.”


 


“Then you must obey your orders, do not make your father ashamed of the Tejo family. Remember Melati is a month away Tejo will be your husband so you should treat him well,” Ki Damar advising Melati.


 


“Good Sir,” said Melati while lowering her head.


 


They both went to the dining table and enjoyed the meal that was provided by Lastri Melati's own mother. After a few minutes, Melati had finished enjoying her dinner, she returned to her room, while her mother and father were still at the dinner table talking.


 


“Pak don't be too hard on Melati Sir pity her,” scold Lastri.


 


“You alone are too pampering Melati Lastri!”


 


“He's our only son Sir, naturally I'm his mother who feels pregnant Melati Pak.”


 


“Allah you are the same Melati just the same, I educated Melati hard like this so that she does not embarrass us after officially becoming Tejo's wife son-in-law of Pak Joko.”


 


“You only care about your ego, sir.”


 


“Have I been unwilling to argue with you Lastri,” Ki Damar who left Lastri and went to the terrace to calm his mind.


 


While Melati herself took a letter from Barjo that she kept and read it.


 


Forgive me Melati, I have tried to be your companion but your Father did not accept the application from the mas.


I can only hope that you can be happy with Tejo, and until whenever you are the true love of Melati, wear a ring that you give. The ring is a memento of the woman who most loved the late mother mas. Mas can only give mementos to you Melati may you be happy Melati.


 


“Im sorry Melati mas Barjo,” muttered Melati while putting Barjo's letter on her chest


Melati's tears were dripping incessantly as she read the letter from Barjo. The silent night was heartbreaking for Melati, she would not be able to meet and see Barjo back when she was already the wife of Tejo.


 


While Sugeng had returned to Barjo's house he recounted Melati's condition that he had seen.


 


“How have I submitted to Melati?” ask Barjo.


 


“Already Barjo, pity Melati he looks very sad eyes moist what else when I give this letter his eyes glazed,” explained Sugeng to Barjo.


 


“Am I wrong Sugeng behaved like this, Melati will not want me to take a run I was confused to do what Sugeng,” Barjo who confided to Sugeng.


 


  “You are not wrong Barjo, you have tried everything you can if you are a matchmaker will definitely unite later,” Sugeng who gives encouragement to Barjo.


 


“Thank you Sugeng you are indeed my best friend.”


 


“Oya I almost forgot one song message from Melati.”


 


“What is Sugeng?” asked Barjo curiously.


 


“Next month precisely on Friday pahing Melati will hold a wedding with Tejo.”


 


Hearing Sugeng's words Barjo's heart was shattered immediately felt pain as it was sliced by a dagger, Barjo's eyes began to glaze over and undoubtedly people heard his loved ones would soon get married. Barjo simply fell silent not saying a single word.


 


Sugeng who saw the sadness of his best friend also approached rubbed Barjo's shoulder to calm down.


 


“Sabar Barjo, just pray that this is the best and if you are a matchmaker Melati will be with you back,” said Sugeng calmed Barjo's heart.


 


“Thank you Sugeng.”


 


So very complicated the love story of the two of them, because the caste they both can not be together. Let go and pray for one another to be happy.
