"Once again Tania apologized." said Tania again and then left his father and mother who were still sitting at the dinner table.
"Mom, what should we say to Grace and her family? Dad feels bad, Mom is the same as them." said Mr. Rudi.
"Mom's confused too, Dad. All this time they have been very good to our family," continued Bu Indah.
Mr. Rudi pinched the base of his nose. He began to get dizzy thinking about what sentences he should string to say later to Pak Rahmat so that Pak Rahmat and his family could understand and not be offended by Tania's refusal.
"I wonder Ma'am to our son, why does Tania also refuse to be betrothed to Nak Radit? If he refuses to marry you, I can understand that. Because they are very young. But this, aaahh." said Mr. Rudi while twitching his head.
Mr. Rudi is in a state of confusion right now. He was afraid that the good relationship with the family of Mr. Grace they had for years became tenuous because of this problem.
"Here it is Well, don't think too much. Let's just tell them the truth. Let's explain carefully that for now Tania is not ready. Maybe next time Tania will agree to it." said Bu Indah trying to calm her husband.
Rudi tried to calm himself. He planned to meet Mr. Grace this morning before he left for the rice field.
Arriving in her room, Tania was no longer able to stem her tears. Although he hated Radit, but deep down, he still loved the young man. He just hates Radit's attitude that is so presumptuous of him. If Radit had not been rude, he might have considered the proposal. Tania deliberately rejected the proposal because she wanted to repay her heartache to Radit.
Tania snatched her phone which she put on the table. He wants to find entertainment by watching OVJ on Youtube. During this time, the comedy genre tv show always managed to make him flounder. He does not want to be in sorrow.
All the messages sent by Radit last night, none of them were on Tania's number. That's because Tania's been blocking Radit's number on her phone since yesterday. As he was on his way home from his brother's house to his parents' house.

Radit Chamber
"Don't Tania block my number again." muttered Radit.
"Ah, I have an idea."
Radit walked out of his room. He wanted to go downstairs to borrow his mother's phone. He wanted to contact Tania using Ms. Risna's number. As he was descending the steps one by one, he saw Mr. Rudi talking to Mr. Grace. Radit was sure that the parents were discussing the proposal last night. Radit quickly climbed down the stairs without making a sound. He wanted to listen to the conversation without being caught. He stopped when he reached the last step of the ladder.
Radit's heart breaks as he listens to Tania's news of rejection. He then ran up the stairs one by one and went back to his room. All day he locked himself in his room without eating or drinking anything.

The next day, the,
The news of Radit's proposal was rejected by Tania in the ears of Hendra and Tasya. They wondered, how could Tania refuse Radit's proposal? Why does Tania seem to be just messing around and not being serious about being in a relationship with Radit? Not most women out there want certainty and seriousness in relationships with their partners. Then why Tania who was clearly given certainty chose to refuse and retreat? What is he looking for? Why does Tania seem to be playing with Radit's feelings that clearly love her so much? Why does it seem like only Radit is seriously going through their relationship?
Moreover, that caused Tania to reject Radit's proposal, aren't they always together wherever they go? Just sleeping together and staying under the same roof that they didn't do. If it is like that, they should be married off. That is to avoid the various kinds of sins that they can do if they go together too often. Or maybe Tania has another dream guy.
What, why, how? There are so many questions on their minds. Making the couple husband and wife did not end up thinking why Tania to reject Radit's proposal.
The people closest to them, blamed Tania in this. Without them knowing what causes Tania to reject Radit's proposal. They don't know if Radit's guilty of this.
But shouldn't Tania just accept the proposal. Should he be happy because Radit wants to be responsible for being rude to him? Isn't accountability expected by a woman if something like that happens. Although in reality they were not up to the forbidden relationship, but only approached. But Tania should be grateful that Radit is a gentle man in charge. But yeah, that's Tania. Not Tania's name if not stubborn. No one understood the girl's path of thought other than herself.
Unlike Tasya, Hendra does know the root cause of Radit and Tania. But he also did not understand why Tania had to refuse the proposal of her cousin's sister. Shouldn't they just get married if it's like that? Thought Hendra.
