I CHOOSE FAITHFULNESS
The Beginning of Hatred

Aura entered the house with two paper bags of her purchase today, she and her two best friends visited a boutique, choosing a dress to wear at her college graduation party.

"Mommy, when are you?" Aura asked as she saw Jasmine sitting down enjoying her juice.

"Hey baby, an hour ago. Sit here, I happen to tell you something." Jasmin said, patting the empty seat beside him.

Aureapun approached and sat next to his mama.

"Try opening this." Jasmin gave her an envelope, and as her mother told her, she opened the envelope.

Ternyada inside there is a photo of a man wearing a neat suit, looks young and very charismatic.

"He's Kenzo Hartanto. Your husband's candidate." Jasmin's words that made Aura widen her eyes looked at Jasmin.

"What?! C-prospective husband?" Aura was speechless again, This time her mama was really outrageous. Without discussing, without asking, suddenly the decision has been made.

"What else is this mam, is it not enough that I follow all the wishes of my mother, and now the future husband? I don't even have the freedom to decide my own future."

"You're getting married by the end of the year." Jasmin said later, without grieving the feelings of her own son.

"But mam..."

"Dear aura, don't resist. This is all grandfather's wish."

"The desire of a grandfather, a grandfather whom even I myself do not know." Came in the heart.

"Mam, have you ever thought about my feelings?

"Mommy has no other choice. She's a responsible man anyway.and this is the last one, she won't interfere in your life anymore."

"But it's a mama's wedding, I don't want to marry someone I don't love, nor do I even know her."

"After meeting, you must have fallen in love with each other. Aura, this marriage must happen otherwise you and your mother will not get one percent of grandfather's inheritance."

"Yes mam, I realized all this time that my mother's purpose in taking me from my mother was for the sake of my grandfather's legacy, but my future, even took it for the sake of that inheritance." Aura knew that Jasmin's goal was to inherit from her parents, because Jasmin had no children, even though she was married 3 times, except Aura from the first husband who was not approved by her family.

"Aura, it's not just an inheritance but it's already the right of mom and you, and the reason mami brought you is not just that baby, it's not that." Jasmin did not want Aura to misunderstand his intentions and aim to bring Aura back into his arms.

"What is the reason, what is the reason?"

"There is a time when you will know all.But for now mami beg you to follow what has been determined for you." Jasmin continued to plead with Aura. But Aura did not listen to him, he also left Jasmin walking limply towards his room.he was indeed helpless, shattered was his hope and wishful thinking of his future, he said, all the plans that he will do after graduation were turned into mere wishful thinking.

Aura flung her body, staring at the ceiling of her room. Anger, resentment and disappointment mixed into one, wanting Aura to leave everything behind, all of them, but Jasmin's desperate face begging him made Aura reluctant to do all that.

Aura did not understand what was happening between her grandfather and her mother, just as they had their own problems.

there was nothing Aura could do but be filial and obey all of Jasmin's wishes, to marry the man her grandfather had chosen.

After thinking carefully about how Aura had to take a stance on all this, she looked back at Kenzo's photo lying down.

"Are you there too saying the same thing? the decision of parents. Why do you take this match? Don't you care about your life and your future?" Aura spoke to Kenzo's photo.

Then Aura threw a photo of Kenzo, she did not care about anyone she married, because she had no authority to refuse it.

"Kenzo hartanto let's not see each other, and let's meet at the wedding."

Aura ran out of her room to meet Jasmin and say her opinion.

"I'll marry him. But, let me stay here until the wedding day arrives."

Jasmin who heard that seemed surprised, because before the wedding there must be a meeting first both personally and family. And also take care of the wedding and so on there must be the role of Aura there.

"But you need to meet before you get married." Jasmin could not simply agree with Aura's opinion.

"For what? getting to know each other, matching each other? no need, because in the end I have to marry her. I better stay here enjoying my life before marriage!"

"Alright if it's your decision, but keep your promise, that you will come the day you get married." Jasmin will take care of everything, the important thing is that Aura has already agreed to get married.

"Yes mam. I'll keep my promise."

...※※※※...

Kenzo is upset, upon hearing that his future wife refuses to meet him. They should have met after Aura's graduation, to introduce each other. However, Kenzo gets word that Aura can't come and will meet Kenzo when they get married.

Kenzo takes his car to his friend's house, he needs to calm down, vent his frustration after getting humiliation from his future wife. For Kenzo Aura to have insulted her, disrespecting her.

Previously, for 8 years Kenzo associated with his friend only through telphon. Since his retirement, Kenzo often came to see Denis to just fill the time or clear his mind.

"He thinks he who can do that, I can't keep quiet. Look, you won't be lucky to meet me. I'll make you sorry." Annoyed Kenzo while beating the steering wheel of his car.

At first Kenzo wanted to follow what his father said, even though they were in a match, Kenzo wanted to approach each other first, because he realized that getting married was not easy, especially for those who have never met.

But when Kenzo invites Aura to meet, she gets a rejection and it hurts her self-esteem.

Kenzo parked his car in front of Denis's best friend's restaurant while in High School. After his return Kenzo was often in the Resto belonging to Denis, because at the very top was Denis residence.

"Hi man, what's with that face?" Denis asked as Kenzo walked in with his face off.

"a cocky woman, she thinks she's got everything." - Kenzo, who Denis doesn't understand

"Calm down man, come immediately angry that way. What's up?"

"Loe thought, it is not natural that before marriage we must meet first, at least once. But, he refused to meet me, he bialng later when at the wedding we met. It's crazy not!"

"Well.great.he rejected loe's charm." Denis said, because previously Kenzo always admired the women. But no one has conquered his heart.

"If I can break up this marriage, I'm broke. And I'm sure he can't boast anymore." Said later.

"But unfortunately you can't do that." Denis responded.

"That's what makes me miss Den." When his father's wishes were against his, there was nothing Kenzo could do. Besides putting a pang of frustration behind his papa.

"Where is he now?"

"He's still in England, a week before the wedding he's coming."

"Welcome bro loe will marry a girl you don't know at all." Denis's ejek tapped both Kenzo's shoulders.
