Forced Mate
Chapters. 2. Rebuttal.

Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight when Zeva heard her Papa say, her eyes were perfectly rounded with her mouth open. It seemed obvious shock on his face at this moment, even his entire body had suddenly become stiff.

"Yes, Honey! Mama and Papa have betrothed you to Arion, he's Om Ben's son! You know him, right?"

Zeva looked at her parents with reddened eyes, her jaw hardened as she felt emotion with what they were saying.

"Look, it looks like he's very surprised, Pa! Don't tell me after this she ran straight to Om Ben's house, to see her future husband!"

Both of Zeva's parents laughed at Daffa's rant, but not for her. All of this was really not funny, and he was not out of thought with what everyone was doing.

"Is Mom joking with you?"

Zeva immediately stood up with a pushy look, of course everyone was surprised by what she did.

"Darling, Mom and Dad weren't kidding! For what we-"

"No kidding? Then what is all this?"

Everyone was silent at Zeva's anger, they just realized it seemed like the girl was not happy to hear the news of the matchmaking they had done.

"What's up, honey? Don't you like this match?"

Mama Zara stood up, and then shook Zeva's hands, holding back her anger.

"Yes, I don't like it! I don't like it at all!"

Deg, everyone is staring at Zeva sharply. Especially Papa David, who is now also standing in front of his daughter.

"Don't like it? Where is his fault? We betrothed you to the right man, Zeva!"

Zeva shed her tears, her chest getting claustrophobic with what was happening right now. "The right guy?"

"Yes, Honey! Arion is a very good man, we also know his family well. We are confident that he will definitely be a good husband, and certainly can give you affection!"

Zeva lowered her head, her crying getting louder made everyone become uneasy.

"Why? Why are you doing all this? Why don't you ask me first?"

Zeva's shout echoed in the room making everyone flinch, he then looked at them alternately with a nagging look.

"Why didn't Mom and Dad ask me first? Why are you doing everything you want, without thinking about my feelings?"

Both of Zeva's parents fell silent, as did Daffa who seemed to understand why her sister was so angry at this moment.

"Darling, we did it because we thought of you! We want the best for you!"

"No, that's a lie!"

Zeva strengthened her voice even more, to the point that their aides came to see what was happening.

"Darling"

"If you think of me, you should ask me first! Not deciding everything like this, I don't want to! Anyway I don't want to!" Zeva immediately turned and ran towards the stairs.

"Wait, Zeva! Listen to Mama first!"

Zeva ignored her mother's call, her legs running until she finally entered the room.

Brak!

He immediately threw his body on the bed, and wept bitterly lamenting the actions of his parents.

His cries sounded so bitter, his hands clutching the bedsheet tightly until his nails turned white.

Meanwhile, Mama Zara who will follow the departure of Zeva was immediately detained by Daffa. "Daffa, please look at your sister! Mama was so worried!" Just this time she saw a huge anger on Zeva's face, she was afraid something might happen with her daughter.

"Let her alone, Ma! It seems like Zeva is in shock with this matchmaking!"

Daffa was also worried, but if he saw Zeva now, she would be even more angry.

"What's really wrong with him? Why is he angry like that?"

Papa David rubbed his face violently, then he sat back down with a sigh of fatigue.

"it looks like Zeva doesn't like this matchmaking, Pa!" daffa replied, He and his mother also sat back down.

"What's wrong with this?"

Papa David did not understand why Zeva did not like the matchmaking he did, even though he had found the right match for his daughter.

"what, can't Zeva have a boyfriend?"

"What?"

Papa David and his wife jumped in shock at Daffa's words. "You mean, she doesn't want to marry Arion because she already has another man?"

Daffa nodded his head to answer Papa's question. "That's possible, Pa! Otherwise, there was no way he would be so angry like that!"

Papa David and Mama Zara fell silent, as did Daffa. It could be that Zeva already has her own choice, that's why she doesn't want to be betrothed.

"No, Papa disagrees! Anyway Zeva has to marry Arion, want to put where Papa's face if this matchmaking is void?"

Obviously all his family will withstand embarrassment, let alone they have discussed the issue of marriage in detail.

"That's why I always ask Mama and Papa to tell Zeva, but you still don't want to hear!"

Daffa left, he became upset because his parents did not want to tell Zeva this matter.

"Geez, why is it all like this?"

Mama Zara leaned back, her head dizzy from Zeva's anger at them.

"what shall we do now, my husband? Zeva has refused to marry Arion!" ask her husband.

Papa David was silent, he was trying to think about what he would do at the moment. "We can't undo all this, so we have to force Zeva to accept it!"

Mama Zara was shocked to hear the husband's words. "Forced? Do you think Zeva will accept it?"

"That's your job, Zara! You have to get Zeva to agree to marry Arion! We'll be ashamed that until Arion and his family find out about this, and don't forget, we owe them our lives, my wife!"

Mama Zara was silent, she took a deep breath to confirm what her husband said. "I know! Alright, I'll try to persuade him!"
