I HATE YOU, BUT
#47
Nia was glued to her place. He held tightly to the food box he held. He was deliberately eavesdropping, but did not expect at all to hear painful talk like this. David really loved Sarah and had no intention at all to turn his back on her. How cruel, even though all this time long before the matchmaking he secretly loved the man and he was sure his love was no less great as the love of Sarah.
Sarah seemed worried but she let David hold her hand. They were not aware of Nia's presence at all as it was immersed in their own world.
“But she's your future wife, even though we love each other improperly.”
“No, Sarah. I promised you, after all, you should know I can't live without you. I can't love him, no matter how much I try,” David tries to convince. Heard the seriousness of David. Sarah also collapsed. Yes, he could not lie to himself that he loved this man. He looked at his lover's hope.
“You mean it with your words? You know what my family is like. If you can't keep your promise I'm sure my brother won't let you go.”
David knew, the aral that must be passed if he managed to cancel the marriage was Sarah's older brother who loved his sister only wayang. But he tightened his grip to foster confidence in Sarah's heart.
“I love you so much Sarah, I will definitely marry you.”
“You know I love you more,” Sarah said in tears.
“But how did you convince your parents to cancel the wedding?”
David was silent, his eyes glaring. It was obvious that he was thinking of the right solution. He gasped again to look at Sarah as soon as he found the answer.
“If you get pregnant, maybe my father will let me marry you, you know my father's self-esteem is very high. He won't let me abandon the woman he's pregnant with.” Surely said. Sarah did not say, she just stared at David with all sorts of mixed emotions.
Gradually he smiled omens agree with David's proposal. At that time the feeling of the two was like burning and they forgot everything by getting closer to each other's faces and kissing. David swiftly undid Sarah's entire garment and they drowned in their own world.

The wedding day was approaching and Nia had already decided that she would step down. She is not an ignorant woman who is blind to the unhappiness of her future husband. He did not want to break the rope of love that was connected in the hearts of David and Sarah because today he intends to meet David to say the results of his reflection for several days.
But that day, something unexpected happened. David's mother died and in her last will, she wanted her son to marry Nia. As a son who loved his mother, David could only accept the will with a grievous heart. On the day after the funeral, he met Nia.
“Alright, we are married.” Nia was startled by David's sudden words.
“Why suddenly agree?” nia was clearly astonished. He knew David's love for Sarah was irreplaceable and a few days ago he heard for himself that David would annul the marriage in any way. Nia is forced to swallow back her intention to cancel the marriage.
David looked away, “Everything I did was for my mom. He intended that I marry you,” he said with a blank look.
Either Nia should be happy or sad, but she felt like her heart had been pierced by a knife as the scar-filled eyes stared at her. “But don't expect me to love you because for me, Sarah remains the only girl who deserves my love.”
Nia simply sat glued to her place after David slid the scathing sentence. He could not even say, only able to stare sadly at the man who was about to marry him, but his heart was clearly not going to have it. Actually that day Nia could have refused the marriage and let David happy with the girl he loved but the corner of his selfish heart had locked his mouth. If this is God's way of giving him happiness, he will pass even though the road is steep and full of thorns.
