"It's Kania, maybe it's the destiny I have to live with,"

"But what about your dreams all this time, brother? You always said you wanted to be a career woman. Saving and traveling around the world. Only then did I find someone who could share my life with you," Kania said with teary eyes.

"Who said my dreams are dim? I'm still going to keep dreaming of Kania. My status as a wife will not stop me from pursuing my dreams. So you keep dreaming, too" Alea stroked Kania's face. The face of a little sister who was so dear to him wholeheartedly. He had no other family besides the Kania family. Gadia in front of him is even considered like his own sister. A little brother that he can give all the love he has.

Kania nodded her head. Promising her little heart she will continue to dream and make Alea proud when she sees him reach for a dream. He hugged Alea tightly, an older brother who always accompanied his days. Who poured out sincere affection for herself who had once bullied Alea as a child. However, the girl still loved him to realize how valuable an Alea is to her.

"Alea.... What are you doing anyway? Your in-laws have been waiting for you. Quickly go out and bring all your belongings, don't make them wait for you any longer" Hardik Elis, Aunt Alea. With his haughty face he glared at Alea to quickly obey his orders. Then it passed just like that leaving Alea and also Kania who hardened their jaws holding back the anger.

Alea rushes to pull a suitcase she had prepared last night when her aunt says she will move into her husband's house after the wedding. There were not many valuables she could bring to her husband's house. Only a few pieces of clothes and a box that contains memories of the girl with her parents as a child.

With her tiny hands, Alea dragged the suitcase out of the room followed by Kania behind her.

"Sorry for making you wait for me too long" Alea said softly as she was in the living room. Alea looked down deeply, not daring to look at the face that saw her like a disgrace that had to be covered up.

The face of the old man who is now his father-in-law. Alea was still able to see the disgusted look of Father-in-law to her. As well as the more heart-wrenching disappointed look of Mother-in-law.

Alea had hoped that she would find an old figure for herself one day. The figure of the parents of the man she will choose as her husband. However, everything is gone. He married someone not on the basis of love and sincere intentions to build a household, but the compulsion that became the background of his marriage. With the in-laws clearly not liking her, just by looking at the look on their faces when looking at Alea.

"Is that just the stuff you're going to bring?" Ask Alea's father-in-law to refer to the suitcase in the girl's hand.

"Yes," Alea replied awkwardly.

"Okay, I still have a lot of business. We'll excuse you, Mr. Niko," Alea's father-in-law said to the girl's uncle. There was no hospitality at all in his tone of voice. Even just talking stale as if he was reluctant to serve.

Alea had only dared to raise her head as her two in-laws had already stepped out of the living room chair and rushed out of the house. The girl rolled her eyes around the room. She did not see the existence of the man who is now her husband. Her eyes caught the simple decorations of her wedding party. The wedding just took place a few hours ago.

His feet stepped outside the house. In the yard of the house still stands upright tent and minimalist guarantee that is also simple. Although her aunt said that the husband she married was a rich man, but they did not hold a fancy wedding. Even those present in the wedding are only close relatives of Uncle and Aunt and neighbors around the house.

Alea's eyes stamped a luxurious car parked in front of his house. A car that asserts that the owner is indeed a person who is as rich as his Aunt's words. Before boarding the car, Alea said goodbye to Uncle and Aunt who drove him to the front of the house. Experiencing two parents who do not feel at all lost of themselves who want to leave the house for good.

Only one pair of tears accompanied Alea's departure from the house she had lived in for a dozen years.

"We still live in the same city. We can still meet whenever you want," Alea said withstanding sobs, not wanting to look weak in front of Kania.

After saying goodbye Alea then entered the luxury car. Glanced at someone who had been looking for his whereabouts. Someone whose gaze was so cold pierced the heart. The murmur Alea felt as she sat beside the rightful man to be her husband. Imagine what her marriage would be like with this man next to her.

"Where are we, sir?" Ask the driver behind the wheel of the car.

"Take us home. I still need to change clothes first. After that you take us to the hotel where Alex's wedding reception was, " said Derry.

"Ngggeh sir" replied the driver with a thick accent.

"We didn't go straight to the reception?" Dilla's voice asked softly in Alea's front seat.

"Ma's wearing this all day. Papa wants to change clothes first at home,"

"We've had uniforms to wear there. So also papa keep changing clothes. Mama's afraid we're late if we have to go home first,"

"Where might we take them to the reception venue in such clothes," Lyrically told Derry to a pair of newlyweds behind him. Although only a little, Derry's neck movement can be captured Alea. Makes him realize that the person his father-in-law meant was him.

"Then" answered Dilla, finally agreeing with her husband's words.

Alea then turned her gaze through the car window. Don't bother with what her two in-laws are talking about.

A speeding car splits the road, leading them to a new start for a young girl whose life changes in just a moment.

Their journey was filled with silence. There was no sound let alone the laughter accompanying the girl entering a new chapter of her life. Tension instead ambushed Alea as she unintentionally glanced at the man beside her. The man who looked at him was full of hatred.

O God, if this is indeed the path that You have laid out for me to pass. I beg you to give strength to this feeble soul - the Deaf Alea in his heart.

Alea turned her eyes to the street outside. The one that flashed so quickly disappeared along with the silhouette of a tree by the roadside. Similarly, his life that passes quickly seems meaningless, only through a friend of the road. There was nothing he needed to remember about his past life, a life full of gloom. However, all the events in his life are imprinted in the memory of the head, which at times appears at unexpected times. Tearing his heart out, stirring up his feelings.
