He's My Beloved (Slowly Realized)
CHAPTER 20
DEG... The whole room was immediately silent. "match pa? With who? How not to say Sarah?", Sarah rebuked her father. "yes Sarah, from childhood you have a match with Zaki son om Ardi and aunt Goddess best friend papa. And Zaki has also agreed to it." Teguh told Sarah. "but pa, Sarah uda there is Abi. Sarah loves Abi, this papa giman?", exclaimed Sarah with a trembling voice and glassy eyes. Abi just silently heard all this, he was very surprised by the statement of papa Sarah. "you why silence Bi?talk to papa", soak Sarah to Abi.
"sarah, you should calm down, it is not good to say anything when conditions like this. I'm surprised by your father's words but he's your papa, don't say it in this high tone. Respect papa ya Sar!", said Abi to appease Sarah. "om aunt, I say goodbye, sorry I came at the wrong time", Abi said goodbye to Teguh and Nadia. But there was no answer from Teguh, seeing Abi he did not want to anymore. Not hate Abi, but Teguh was unable to betray his best friend. There was no way he would cancel the matchmaking that they had planned for a long time.
"father is not fair, but did not ask for Sarah's approval from the beginning. If papa mama said from the beginning it would be a different story pa. Do you know how hard it is to forget Zaki?two years ago, Sarah tried to move on from Zaki. Yes, pa, ma.. For an hour, Sarah had a crush on Zaki but Sarah did not dare to reveal Sarah's feelings to Zaki. Sarah finally felt it deep inside. And Abi, she's two years old, waiting for Sarah to move on from Zaki." so Sarah explained everything to her parents. "now when Sarah's fallen for Abi, papa just told me about the match with Zaki. How heartbroken Sarah pa, what else Abi the first Sarah brought to the house have you to know about this matchmaking", Sarah's voice shook and her chest was very tight.
Sarah left her parents who just silently heard her son's confession. What heart of an unsliched parent to see his only child crying like that in front of his parents. But on the other hand Teguh was not able to break this match, other than not being able to betray his best friend, there was a debt of gratitude to the Ardi family. Yes, it was Ardi's parents who helped the Teguh family at that time. Teguh was 8 years old when his parents had an accident and died at the scene. Ardi's family was the one who bore all the costs of hospitals, funerals, to take care of Teguh until graduation. Because at that time only the Ardi family would accept Teguh which is now a kara. All of Teguh's living expenses were borne by Ardi's parents, so so much of Teguh's indebtedness to the Ardi family. Although the Ardi family did not bring it all, but as a sign of gratitude Teguh accepted Ardi's offer to betroth their child.

In the room Sarah continued to cry, remembering how hearty her father was to say so frankly to his lover whom she had just introduced to him.
The phone rang, it was from Abi. Sarah picked up the phone call. "Sar, still crying? I'm sorry I didn't know you were set up. I'm presumptuous to go into your life and Zaki", a little vibrating voice sounded across. "don't say much, go to sleep. tomorrow we'll talk again. I love you Bi", concluded Sarah ended the call.
That night, Sarah was endlessly crying to sleep on her bed that was now wet and full of tissue scattered where.

Elsewhere, Abi woke up and prayed the night as usual, "Oh Allah, thank You for granting my prayers so that you can have Sarah's heart and body. But O God, if Your destiny says otherwise, please take care of Sarah and her soul mate. I'm sincere if this happiness will last a moment" Abi asked God that night.
And in other places Zaki did the same thing, asking God for guidance to be given ease in stepping. "Yes Rabb, if Sarah is a good choice for me please give way and make it easy. But if Sarah wasn't for me, please make it easy to stay away from her without hurting anyone" Zaki prayed to God that night.
