He Who Came Among Us
The ridiculous agreement of both parents
Celeste's big name is no stranger to sound in the citizens of Rosewood. As the owner of a large vineyard makes Fox Celeste respected and respected competitors, not to mention the name that is in the shade which is a descendant of blue blood.
The Celeste family's residence is in a vineyard, an ancient style mansion that has been inherited by Celeste's descendants. Red brick walls are the hallmark of the building.
"Morning.. Fathering.. Mother," I said as I kissed the cheek of the two.
"Bag darling. You have no activities today?" ask Dad.
"There's no Dad. Why?" my many.
"Father's introduction is coming, he's going to propose to you!" he said.
"Well!" I cried not to believe my hearing, "seriously?! ", i said to convince myself.
"Yes. Forgive Dad, it was difficult at that time after the overhaul of the vineyard plus the monetary crisis that had caused the decline in wine prices. And we're waiting for your birth but I don't have the money to pay for the surgery. Stone Zephyr came and extended a helping hand, and it was with pleasure that Dad spoke so carelessly" the story goes, "Stone said 'If your daughter is a girl with my son' and jokingly agreed. Some time ago, after Stone's death, Esmerald made a promise to Dad, because you were allowed to get married and have completed your education so I can't stall anymore" he continued.
I was silent listening to her story.
"Mother knows you might not be happy, but they've helped our family all the time until now they're still using the quality of our wine to make the Wine, you know the Zephyr brand. Several times you have also met, "mom explained.
The Zephyr family is a reliable business entrepreneur, engaged in the field of Wine making. Their Wine brand has been exported to various countries, not to mention the demand from restaurants, bars and shops, fairly high to make Wine Zephyr to be no.1 beating its competitors.
"But Father, Mother! Can we get to know each other first, it feels wrong to directly apply?" the bujukku.
"Me meet first and talk carefully well, maybe your future husband is a very understanding person" said Father. I just nodded my head confused as to what way to refuse.
"Master! The woman named Esmerald was waiting for the master in the living room" said Eldred's servant, Father and Mother immediately met the guest.
"Uncle, did you come with a man? How's it look?" I asked Eldred.
"He's handsome" replied Eldred briefly.
"REally?!" I couldn't believe it, Eldred resumed his work.
Ruby Celeste, the only daughter of the Celeste family. She is now 22 years old and has completed her education at Rosewood University. It was unexpected that my return would be my application day with an unknown man.
"Ruby," call Mother.
I immediately fulfill Mother's call. The woman in elegant style was with Mother, not far from her was seen the figure of a man in a suit looking at me. Mother came up to me and introduced her to her guests.
"Our daughter, Ruby. This is Esmerald and that's there Topaz," Mother introduced her guest.
"Beautiful, just like the mother!" praise Esmerald, "look! Topaz won't even blink to see you" continued Esmerald, who now hugged me.
"You two know each other very well, we parents will discuss something else" Dad said.
Father, Mother and Esmerald left us both equally awkward.
"Topaz" he said, "can we walk in the vineyard?" he said what I did.
We enjoyed a bright morning atmosphere with the vineyards lying in front of us. I took Topaz to the gazebo.
"I don't agree with this idea of marriage, but I respect my late father's last message" he said.
"I understand" I said.
"Good, we should be good to each other right," he said, "please help him then," his outstretched hand that I welcome to shake him.
My friend would be jealous if he saw her later.
Our only short meeting was to smooth the wedding plan that will be carried out in 2 weeks.
Father and Mother were busy preparing for our soon-to-be-anniversary wedding. A week before the wedding, Father and Mother had to go to an invitation held by the plantation organization in Aquamarine city. The weather was not friendly that day.
"Dad, don't go. The danger! The rain made the streets slippery, Dad's eyesight was not good, either" he persuaded, who only responded by hugging and kissing my cheek.
"And there is a Mother who accompanies, Eldred take care of our daughter well! Dear Ruby, Mommy hope you live your life freely and happily one day," she said as she hugged me for a long time and kissed my forehead and cheeks, "Dad and Mother dear Ruby!," she whispered.
"Mother what the hell?. Be careful on the road" I said.
That was the last conversation I had with them, the news from the police who said that the car my parents were in had a consecutive accident that resulted in both of them being killed on the spot.
My crying couldn't stop when I identified the body in the hospital. Accompanied by Eldred, I tried to calm down but when I saw the bodies of my parents made me faint instantly.
"Ruby, how are you?" ask Esmerald.
"Dad.. Mother.." sobs my tears back after waking up from my fainting.
"Give up, your parents have calmed down there" he said.
Esmerald hugged me, calmed me down and comforted me. Topaz was standing in the hospital window, his eyes glaring, what he was thinking.
The funeral was arranged by Eldred, and all of Dad's employees and business associates came to pay their last respects. All I could do was cry, Esmerald and Topaz attended and helped with the funeral.
The house without the presence of Father and Mother was very quiet, after their departure all I did was daydream in their room. Eldred is the one who takes care of all the needs of the garden.
"Miss, until when will it continue like this. Miss has to move on, the marriage will continue" Eldred said.
"Should I continue with that ridiculous agreement, would they be gone, what to do" I cried.
"Must," shouted a voice from the doorway, Topaz's figure was present with a document in his hand, "could leave us," Topaz told Eldred.
"You can't unilaterally cancel a wedding, read it!" Topaz handed over the documents he had brought.
It was written that Father had borrowed some money from the Zephyr family with the guarantee of the plantation land that had been bequeathed to me.
"You can cancel it, if all the debts are paid off" he said.
"I will find a way and repay you" I said.
"Miss, the point is you were sold to my family to save the estate and Celeste's big name," hearing her speak so to my late parents, caused my emotions to explode and a loud slap landed on her cheek.
Plaac...
"Take care of what you say" I snapped.
"Look! I'm a businessman, this marriage is the only way out of our problems. I need Celeste's name and you need money to defend your parents' estate, so stop complaining and start preparing yourself for this marriage. I don't want you to embarrass me with that horrible look of yours" hardened Topaz.
Dad, Mommy... What the hell has happened? Why do you owe so much. In the plantation so far?.
That question will never be answered, for they are gone. Now the decision is in my hands, marry a handsome arrogant man or lose this estate forever.
