Marriage is about the heart. In general, people who decide to get married are of course because they are ready to live life in pairs in the sacred bond of marriage. But not for Hans and Ace. Marrying them just because of the demands. Hans due to his parents' demands while Ace due to economic demands.
Ace never imagined getting married this fast and because of the demands of money. For Ace getting married is scary. The shadow of the father's betrayal and the suffering of mama Rani because of the betrayal is still clearly recorded in his brain. At that time, he promised never to marry. And after the suffering that the papa incised. Ace shuts himself off from the attention of men at his school first.
Ace is now licking his own spit. At a young age. Ace had to marry a man he had only known for a few days. Ace realized that he had reneged on his promise. But Ace's decision was already unanimous. He was willing to undergo the temple marriage until the time set by Hans himself.
"Are you sure of your decision, son?" ask mama Rani. Whatever the form of the wedding will be. Ace still respects Rani's mother for permission and asks for her blessing.
"Ma already. My master has arranged for me and his son. We've already met. And that son is also willing to be betrothed to me."
Ace is back to making up stories. Ever since being accepted as a servant in Mr. Hans' house. Ace is very good at making free when dealing with mama Rani.
"Then, why didn't your future husband come with you to ask your mother's permission?"
Ace opened up to answer the mother's question. Of course, Hans was not willing to ask permission from his mother because the man considered that the marriage was only for the temple. Let alone to ask for permission, to know there is no intention for it.
"Ace's husband-to-be is a busy man. Maybe before the wedding. My two would-be metuaku will come to this house."
"Why only religious marriage. Isn't your future husband quite the man?" ask Mama Rani again. Ace is back. Quickly, Ace manages to take control of himself so that Rani's mama does not suspect.
"Ace himself asked that ma. I don't want you to know if Ace's future husband is. I want to make papa off guard. If the time comes. Ace's gonna take that restaurant."
Ace's words made Mama Rani's eyes look bright. The legacy that was supposed to be a livelihood for her and supporting her two children was already controlled by her ex-husband. Until this moment, Mama Rani was not willing. He wanted to take the restaurant back but because of his weak self. Mama Rani could not act.
"May your wish come true son," said Mama Rani wistfully.
"Bring in prayer ma." Mama Rani nodded her head.
"Ma, it's okay. I went to see papa," said Ace.
"It's okay, son. Whatever your evil papa. He's still your papa. Respect and respect him so that he himself may bear karma for his own actions."
Ace looked at his mother's face. Ace had guessed that mom would allow herself to meet the papa. Ace admired the woman who gave birth to him. Whatever mama Rani does for her papa. The woman always advised Ace and Randi to respect her ex-husband.
Now Ace was standing in front of the restaurant that should have belonged to his mother. Ace wants to see his papa at this restaurant because he does not know where his papa is domiciled. Ace hesitated to enter.
"You looking for a job?" ask a man who seems to be an employee of the restaurant. Ace shook his head. Hearts sad. At his mother's restaurant. Ace has to be like a stranger.
Ace finally stepped towards the entrance that was reserved for the employees. He wanted to meet his father in the back office of the building.
"Sorry, this is an employee-only area. For guests from the front," said a woman wearing cleaning service. Ace watched the woman. Three years did not set foot in this restaurant. There are no busy employees.
"I know Sir. I'm going to Andra's room. Is he in his room?"
"What are your needs. Mr. Andra rarely goes to this restaurant. He entrusted the restaurant's operations to his assistant."
Ace was disappointed. He had already let go of his heartache but his arrival was in vain.
"Do you know Mr. Andra's home address?" ask Ace again. The janitor shook his head.
"Sorry, if there's anything to ask. Better ask the cashier. Let the cashier ask the office. This area is specifically for employees. I hope, I don't understand."
Ace nodded his head. He did not blame the janitor for carrying out his duties. Ace turned around and had to enter from a door devoted to guests.
"Excuse me mbak," Ace said to the cashier who was down.
"Yes please" replied the cashier. Ace frowned as well as the cashier.
"Ace right?.
"Ami?"
"How are you ce?" ask the cashier. Ace and Ami know each other. They used to be a school but different classes. Often meet in the library makes the two know each other and reprimand each other if they meet.
"Where were you sitting at the table?. How can I not see!.
Ace smiled bitterly. She should have been known as the daughter of the restaurant owner. But now, he was like a visitor who did not have much money to eat at the luxury restaurant.
"Mi, I just came. I'm not here to eat but to ask the owner's address of this company."
"Oo sir Andra. What is ce?"
"There's business. You got no?" ask Ace impatiently.
"Well, here it is. Than to his house. You better make an appointment first. On that card is Andra's number."
Ace nodded his head. He was like a stranger. Just to meet his biological father had to make an appointment first.
"Thank you mi. Can I have your number?" ask Ace. He felt the need to have an Ami number where he knew there was something important later in the day with his friend.
"Can donk. Mention your number," replied Ami while pulling out her phone.
Ace wanted to cry right then and there. She is the daughter of a restaurant owner but Ami's cell phone is much more expensive than her butut phone. His difference with Ami was very striking. Ami with thin jewelry in her ears, neck and ring fingers while Ace, let alone jewelry. He was even willing to marry a temple in order to survive.
I finally left the restaurant. It's not hard for him to find Andra's house. Besides because his father's house was in elite housing. Ace also takes online taxis that may have often taken passengers to the place.
"Papa," call Ace. The person he was looking for happened to be on the porch of the house with a small child.
The man who was dressed at home immediately turned to the source of the voice. Ace could see the man was surprised because of his arrival at that place.
"Ace," the man murmured. Mr. Andra is seen holding the little boy and then approaching the gate.
"Can I come in pa?" ask Ace. Mr. Andra turned a little into the house and opened the gate.
Ace noticed the page of his papa's house that could be said to be spacious. Two cars were parked in the garage and one big motorcycle. Saw two cars and his papa's house. Ace suspects that his father's life is much more advanced and happy than when he was with them. Ace instantly felt destiny was not on his side with his family. Mr. Andra was evil and hurt them but his papa has everything right now. While they as the injured party was in debt and his mother had to suffer because of illness.
"Sit Ace" said Mr. Andra pointing to an iron bench on the porch of the house. Ace sat down while suppressing a feeling of great sadness due to the treatment of the papa. Ace can feel no longing sir Andra to him. Even to allow him to enter his house. The man had no intention. Unlike the treatment of his father to the little boy who was two years old. Mr. Andra seemed to love the boy very much.
Ace speechless. So too with his papa. Ace did not know where to begin to say the intention of his arrival to the house. Seeing his father had no intention of speaking. Ace finally spoke up.
"Pa, I'm getting married next week. I'm asking for papa's willingness as my guardian later."
Ace was silent after saying that. Waiting for his reaction. A few minutes waiting. The man did not speak only a long sigh that sounded from his mouth while patting the back of the little boy stuck to his chest.
Ace's eyeballs are heating up. He shouldn't have come to this house. His father did not expect his presence and the silence shown by the man was a rejection.
Just now Ace was about to move from his seat. A young woman who is none other than her young papa wife emerges from the house. The woman looks surprised to see Ace coming. And before long, the woman looks like she underestimated Ace.
"The three of you don't eat anymore until you beg to come to my house?" ask the woman.
Sadness changes with anger. Ace clenched his hand. The woman didn't quite snatch her papa from her mother but snatched Andra's sir from Ace and Randy.
"If I say no to eat. Are you going to give my mama rights?. No right?. I've guessed it. Women like you may have a heart. Let's not eat. Maybe if we starve to death. Your heart will not pity. You're not just evil. But you are the incarnate devil."
"Ace, shut the fuck up" Andra snapped.
Ace could no longer hold back his tears. If the Papa is sane. He shouldn't have let his wife say that to Ace. But when Ace answered the evil woman's words. Ace instead of getting a plea instead his papa snapped at him.
"I hate you, Mr. Andra. Sorry I came here."
"Indeed you shouldn't have come here" said the woman casually. Mr. Andra did not mind at all the words of his young wife.
"Listen yes Mr. Andra. The restaurant is a legacy for my mother. But because of your crime. The restaurant was controlled by this female. Until whenever I won't be willing. And I'll make sure, sooner or later. The restaurant will return to my mother."
"Before that happens. Your mama's already on the ground," the woman sneered.
Ace is getting angry. Not accepting the words of the female. But what makes Ace most angry is the attitude of his father who looks afraid and submissive to his young wife.
"I feel sorry to see your son. He was born to a woman like you. It's just a woman, but it's a demon inside" Ace replied. His intention was to go home forgotten because he replied to the words of his young wife. Ace thought that the woman was insulting and demeaning herself. Then he must also reply to the words of the woman so that she is mentally shaken.
"Go from here," drive the woman out.
Ace smiled, but his smile was very creepy because in his brain had crossed the idea to humiliate the woman.
"Go?, you tell me to go so that your behavior that turns out to be an actor is not known by your neighbors?" said Ace. His voice was made as loud as possible. What Ace did turned out to invite the curiosity of the neighbors. Neighbors from the front left and right sides were seen to have opened the door and the figures of mothers standing at their doors and there were even those who came out of the house and stood near the fence of Mr. Andra's house.
Seeing the neighbors come out. Of course the woman was embarrassed while Mr. Andra went straight into the house.
"Don't be your great ass. You can do this because you are a perakor. You eat and style from my mom's restaurant that you're good at" Ace said in a loud voice so that the woman's neighbors heard her words.
"Shut up, get you out of here" said the woman. His hand stretched out to drag Ace's body. Ace quickly retreated so that the woman did not manage to drag herself.
"My father was also suddenly stupid and forgot the responsibility to his son. Don't don't you use black magic to change my papa right?" said Ace again. The woman was very agitated and Ace was happy to see her. Satisfied humiliating his young papa's wife. Ace smiled cynically at the woman.
"Remember, my vengeance will come" Ace said with great emphasis on the woman. The tail of his eyes could catch on if the neighbors stared at his young papa's wife cynically.
