Enmeshed in Old Virgin Love
CH-16
“Trust me Clarissa. My papa will accept you as Sanjaya's son-in-law. If you don't believe it either. What if tonight we meet my Papa. Are you ready for Clarissa?”
Reyhan tried to convince the girl who was in his presence. That if Clarissa was with him, her life would be fine. And regarding her Papa, her Papa will definitely accept Clarissa as the daughter-in-law in the Sanjaya family.
Clarissa was silent. He himself doesn't talk about anything. “Clarissa... Did you hear what I said?”
Clarissa turned towards Reyhan. Looked at the handsome face of the man beside her. “Reyhan... Sorry I can't.”
“OK... If you can't tonight. How will Clarissa tomorrow be. Are you ready?” Reyhan. He tried to understand the situation of the woman.
Clarissa took a deep breath and exhaled her breath. “Reyhan... I can't. Can't marry you!!!”
Dddeegg....
There was pain running through Reyhan's heart. When the woman who has made her fall in love and fill her days for two years is refusing to live together with her self.
“What does Clarissa mean. Why can't you marry me? Didn't you really want to live with myself?”
“I really want to live with you Reyhan. But I'm not ready to get married.”
“I still want a career. I still want to work. I still want to be free. I still want to enjoy my youth.”
In the mind of the woman, marriage is a restraint for her life. If he gets married, he will be limited by various things. She will serve her whole life to her husband. And for sure he can not be free and follow all the rules of the man who lives with him.
“For career and work. I'm not gonna limit you to Clarissa. I will still allow you and support you in your career and work.”
“Can't Reyhan. Sorry I can't!”
Reyhan exhaled his breath violently. Like her, she had no hope of asking Clarissa to marry him. The repulsion Clarissa had done so many times had already made Reyhan self-conscious. If the girl is really not ready to build a household with her.
“Alright Clarissa if you do not accept my goodwill to invite you to marry.”
“Sorry I'm Reyhan. I hope you understand me. I really love you. But, to get married... I can't. It was too fast Reyhan. I'm not ready.”
“I understand Clarissa. Okay Clarissa. After I thought, the two-year relationship that we lived all of her was just a waste of time and a waste.”
“Sia sia...you mean what Reyhan? You are a selfish man. Unable to understand and understand myself,” Clarissa said with annoyance. He left Reyhan alone.
‘Really what Clarissa said. Is she really not ready to get married. If it's like this. Want to not, like not to like. I was forced to accept the old woman, Reyhan's inner’.

Reyhan's looking for Papa's whereabouts. But I could not find the middle-aged man.
“Bi... Aunty...,” screams Reyhan.
The middle-aged woman ran towards Reyhan. “Iya. What's aden calling Aunty?”
“Where Papa. I haven't seen her since I got home. Isn't it already night. Where did she go bi?”
“Tadi tu––”
Aunty's voice stopped because she heard the door open.
“There's what Reyhan. Why are you looking for Papa?” aditama. The aunt who saw her great master enter, herself immediately rushed to leave the two of them.
Reyhan looked at his Papa clothes that looked dirty. Papa's eyes look red. Like his Papa just visited his mother's grave thought Reyhan.
Reyhan once caught his Papa by accident while wanting to visit his mother's grave. He saw his Papa holding a tombstone with tears.
Her mother has been gone for 17 years. Leaving himself and Aditama. But, to her Papa, the woman who became Reyhan's mother. So attached in his life and heart.
“Someone wants to say Reyhan?”
“Is Papa okay?” ask Reyhan. Even though the mood is bad right now. But not as bad as the mood of the middle-aged man before her.
The mood of the middle-aged man was not only being bad. But also quiet and sad for sure. Thought Reyhan.
“Papa good course.” Aditama smiled faintly at her son. Then swing his footsteps to leave Reyhan.
“Pa...,” call Reyhan.
Aditama stopped his footsteps. Then I turned to Reyhan.
“I received the matchmaking that Papa said!!!”
Aditama smile. The smile of the man seemed sincere. It was like there was a little happiness in his heart.
“We will soon meet the woman Papa chose for you.”
