I Love the Light
Am I dreaming?

"Keep you spoiling him! without you realizing it was you yourself who plunged her into the abyss of sadness" chirped Bella who suddenly reappeared.

"What do you mean say that? I just want to see my son happy, is that wrong?" ask Denis with a face look not like.

"Your desire to see Dania happy, is not at all wrong, because all parents would want it, but the wrong thing is your way. Just so you know, all this time I feel that I have failed to become a mother in educating Dania, and it's all because of you," Bella said at length.

Denis scrunched his forehead, trying to digest the words of the wife who recently often disagreed with him just because of Dania.

"Because of me? what do you mean?"

"Aren't you aware that what you're doing is making Dania grow up to be a selfish girl? you always fulfill what he wants, even if what he wants is not good. From childhood, when I refused his request to buy this, I was not unable to buy it, but I just wanted to instill it in him if all these things are not always we have to have. Butwhat? you came like a hero who instantly fulfilled his request. Subconsciously, eventually he grew into a very selfish person, which whatever he wanted he had to get." said Bella, at length issued all his uneg-uneg.

"I just want the best for my son. Is that wrong?"

"Not wrong at all! but are you sure it's the best? as a parent, you also have to be wise in seeing whether the child's wishes are best for you or not" Bella replied wisely. "Now I want to ask you, do you think that Dania's desire to marry Gilang is already the best for Dania?"

"Dania is happy with that, so I think it's for the best. And indeed I already know Gilang, I'm sure that he's the best man for Dania,"

"But, Dania is not the best for Gilang," sambar Bella quickly.

Denis stared at Bella with a questionable look.

"Why can you say that? do you consider your own daughter, a bad person so she's not best for Gilang? what kind of mother can you think like that?" denis's tone of voice was starting to sound cynical.

"So I want to ask you back, do you think Dania is best for Gilang? have you ever seen one, if Gilang considers Dania his fiancee? didn't you? Gilang never loved Dania, Mas. She's getting engaged to Dania just because of your request, not because of her wish."

Denis flirted, not refuting his wife's remarks. Because all this time he had never seen Gilang come looking for Dania.

"Origin, Mas know, if the princess you always pamper has grown into a selfish person and wants to win it yourself. And origin, Mas know also, if actually loved by Gilang Reyna and vice versa. Dania threatened to kill herself if Reyna remained with Gilang, do you think it's not selfish? I can't imagine if Reynaldi and Nayla knew that their son's happiness had been taken away by their son, Dania," Bella said.

"Say with Reyna? how do you know they had a previous relationship?" Denis scrunched his forehead.

"Because I'm not a fool. I can already guess, when you begged Gilang back then. At that moment Gilang refused, but when Reyna asked him to talk, suddenly Gilang agreed." replied Bella. " Oh yes, how do you want to be able to understand yes, your heart is closed just because you think about the happiness of your own daughter, so you do not realize what is happening around you. I'm ashamed, Mas is really very embarrassed by Dania's attitude," Bella continued.

Denis was completely speechless not knowing what else to say. He tried to digest everything Bella said, looking at himself, whether or not his way of loving Dania was wrong.

"You think carefully, as I said earlier, Mas. By marrying Dania to Gilang will not be able to guarantee that Dania will be happy. There she will always eat the heart with Gilang attitude that is always apathetic to her," Bella again voiced to see her husband who seemed to have begun to be affected by her speech.

"But I don't think Gilang can love Dania, because they haven't lived together. If they've lived under the same roof, I'm sure that Gilang will slowly be able to love Dania. Just like Gavin and Jelita used to be,"

Bella breathed heavily. She found it very difficult to make her husband think rationally because of her over-indulgence in her daughter Dania.

"Mas, Jelita and Dania are two different personalities. Jelita is an independent woman, strong and innocent, so it is easy to make men fall in love with her, like you who also had time to fall in love with her" said Bella.

"Don't start again! it's just the past" Denis replied in protest.

Denis fell silent again because the middle-aged man was less sure too.

"Ah, stop! now please leave me first, because I'm dizzy thinking about all this" Denis concluded, stopping the conversation.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Meanwhile, at the Gilang residence, Light had finally made his decision. The woman stepped into a room she knew was Gilang's work space.

Before knocking on the door, the Light took a breath first, and exhaled it back. After that, he dared to knock on the door.

"Lake in!" make a firm voice from inside, which is certain that it is the voice of Gilang.

Light, open the door slowly and enter with a racing heart.

"Oh, you're the Light. Have you made the decision you are going to make?" ask Gilang to the point, and stare at Light with a demanding gaze.

"Yes, Sir. After I thought about it, I decided to marry you, sir,"

"Good! you made the right decision!" said Gilang, smiling with relief.

"I know that I was wrong to have non Dania's feelings shattered, but I did this all for the sake of the children's home, the grave and the homes of my parents. I want the house back to me" Light said firmly.

"You take it easy, you're completely innocent of Dania. I am the guilty one. For the matter of your parents' home, grave and second home, I will not break my promise. Now you can go out, mom and dad will take care of all our wedding business,"

"Did Mama and Mr Gavin know about this?" The light crinkled his forehead.

"Before I have expressed my intentions to you, I have already discussed it with my mother and father and they do not mind, because they know that this is the best" said Gilang, straightforwardly.

"In that case, may I ask you one more time sir?" ask the Light very carefully.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Emm, does this marriage include a contract marriage? if yes, how long? and is there any guarantee you won't touch me later?" The light finally ventured to reveal what was stuck in his mind.

She smiled faintly, "First, our marriage is not a contract which means there is no timeframe. I will not divorce you at all, for I have no intention of playing with marriage. As for the matter of conjugal relations, I will not do it while you and I are not ready. So, you take it easy," replied Gavin firmly.

"Not divorced? so I really am his wife forever? is this real? or just a dream?" inner Light while pinching his own hand.

"sick! it means I'm not dreaming" he whispered back to his own heart.
