John Yu leaves for London unbeknownst to Rani, not because John does not want to tell Rani. But because Rani could not be contacted.

After a while, John arrived in London. There someone welcomed him. Yes, he was welcomed by his father's business friend named Leonardo Lim.

"Hello John, you're all grown up. Handsome again," said Leonardo while giving a hug to John Yu.

"Yes uncle, John's childhood kept haha," John's response was friendly. John knew Leonardo as a child. Leonardo used to stop by his house.

"Let's John, we go home first" Leonardo said, holding John's shoulder.

"No need Uncle, I stay in the hotel alone," John refused not to bother his father's friend.

"Tell it, just follow uncle. Mostly not a hassle, Uncle is not a stranger," replied Leonardo did not want to accept rejection.

After getting the answer, with a heavy heart John followed Leonardo's wishes.

After about 2 hours of travel, they arrived at Leonardo's house. How surprised John was to find his mother there.

"Well, Mama, what's here?" tnya John was astonished.

"Yes Mama here has been 2 days, your father did not tell you?" asked his mother astonished to find a question from John.

"Gak Mah, my father just told me that I have to study business here with my uncle Leonardo. In addition, the father did not tell the others," explained John increasingly confused about the statement of his mother.

"Well, how's your dad. Maybe your father forgot. Mom called in a moment, "Reported Marian a little with an annoyed expression.

"Why should you call Dad? Mama explained it!" timpal John is getting suspicious. Why call her father, and her mother can explain.

"Have you waited, let your father explain," Marian replied as she placed the phone in her ear.

"I forgot, give this phone to John first" Deffan replied to his wife.

"Now, your father wants to talk" Marian said, giving her cell phone to her son John.

"Hello Dad, what's going on?" asked John in an annoyed tone. I started to feel like something was wrong with this.

"Yes John, I forgot to tell you. You're there while studying and you're engaged to Christy, you know Christy's son Leonardo ...."

Deffan had not yet resumed his talk, rushing John out so that no one would listen to their conversation.

"Dad what do you mean? didn't I just come here to study? why is there an engagement of all?" ketus John is already emotional. He was already starting to get annoyed at feeling being fooled by his father.

"John, don't cut off the conversation if you talk again" Deffan replied in a raised voice.

"You know Christy, you met when you were little. You know Leonardo's business is growing very rapidly. I want to have a close business relationship with him. Leonardo is my best friend, we have agreed that we want to tie up this friendship by marrying Christy. Besides that, we will also have a big profit. Our business will grow further" Deffan explained of the intent of the engagement of Christy and her son John.

"But Dad, John doesn't like Christy, why should we get married? I don't want to!" john refused the unfair engagement.

"John, this is not what I'm telling you to refuse. You can't refuse this, you want to humiliate me? tonight you have to be betrothed to Christy. You have to agree, anyways love can grow over time" Deffan said, not to hear John's word of rejection.

Deffan is a hard dad, he doesn't like anyone to go against his decision.

"Dad, John is an adult, I want to choose my own partner, marriage is not a game" said John still wanted to refuse the engagement.

"It's precisely because marriage isn't a game that dad chose Christy for you. Have you been unable to resist, or do you want me to ruin your lover's life?" threaten Deffan with a heavy tone. This time Deffan spoke very seriously.

John is very surprised, hasn't he been hiding his relationship with Rani? why his father knew.

"Don't you think Dad's a fool, John, how long do you think your dad's been alive? I know you have a boyfriend named Rani Mahendra. If you don't want to get engaged to Christy, then I'll make her suffer" Deffan said, turning off her phone.

It really makes John very shocked, he really loves Rani. How could she possibly be engaged to someone else? Rani is the only girl John wants.
