“ Edward, you can go home now no, son? This father wants to talk to you “ said mother
“ Can, just a moment later Edward went home “
“ Yaudah if so, you are careful yes “ said the mother who only spoke briefly on the phone
“ Hm “
Edward turned off the phone and put it back in his pants pocket and looked at the girl next to him waiting for him while playing his phone. While Natasya who realized Edward had finished calling, she immediately kept her cellphone also in her pants pocket.
“ I will go home now, if you want to go home then go home with Arya but if you still want to do your job then don't be too late when you get home “ Edward said
“ alright, maybe I'll go home later. I try to check the files first above, if it is then I will go home by taxi “ replied Natasya who looked at the man in front of her
“ No need, did you forget about the car keys I gave you? “ asked Edward as he folded his arms
“ not really “ replied Natasya
“ You go back to the top if you want to check the existing files, later I will contact Arya to show where the car is “ said Edward
“ Hm...well, thank you for giving the lord “ said natasya who slightly lowered his head
“ I'm sorry “ said Edward as he walked out of the office
Natasya who was there was only silent when she saw the back of Edward who walked out through the darkness of the night. After a while, the girl went to the elevator to go to Edward's room to check some files

On the other hand, now Edward was at home and saw that his house now looks like there are guests. Really, just now Edward entered he immediately saw in the living room there was Aunt Lucia, his father and the woman he had met at the park when he was with Natasya.
The father who realized Edward's arrival immediately called him to join, Edward who felt called just nodded and walked up to them and sat on an empty sofa. The expression Edward was now showing was just a cold expression
“ Edward, do you know why I called you here? “ ask dad
“ Maybe about marriage or engagement “ replied Edward who immediately made everyone there surprised
“ How did you know about that? “ asked the mother who had her eyes fixed
“ Because it is very unlikely we will talk like this if not for talking about it “ replied Edward
Both of his parents were silent when they heard the answer coming out of Edward's mouth, the man who was now cold was now very easy to express feelings that he did not like and rarely expressed the taste he liked.
“ Edward, sorry this is all on Aunt's will, son. “ said Aunt Lucia who connected
Edward only glanced at Aunt Lucia with his cold gaze, until Aunt Lucia involuntarily shuddered in horror with that gaze but she continued her conversation and her goal came here.
“ Aunt here really wants to talk about your engagement with Melisa, Aunt wants you to be together to unite our relationship and work relationship. Aunty also hope you can love Melisa and accept this engagement, Ward. “ said Aunt Lucia
“ huh...Sorry Aunt, I still haven't thought about it. Now I still want to focus with my company first “ reject Edward smooth
“ But Edward, you are old enough and you should have thought about it too “ said Aunt Lucia who still persuades in a subtle way
“ I don't have feelings with him right now, and I don't want anyone to be my escort “ replied Edward
“ but the feeling will grow by itself if you are used to being together right? “ Says Aunt Lucia
“ indeed, feelings will come if we are used to them but feelings also cannot be forced to love someone. Because I never determine whose heart I want to be with but it is my heart that determines who I will be with. “ replied Edward in a cold voice
All were silent when they heard Edward's answer, it is true that all that determines is the heart and not ourselves. Mother who saw Edward was really not easy to fall in love was guilty if she continued to force her son to marry a woman he did not necessarily love.
“ Edward? “ said mother with her soft voice
“ Hm? “
“ So you're rejecting this? “ ask the bundle To be sure
Aunt Lucia who did not want Edward to refuse also immediately interrupted Edward's conversation with his mother about Edward's opinion.
“ Ma'am, please don't rush! We better try it first to bring them closer maybe later there will be a miracle come and make Edward love my daughter “ said Aunt Lucia
Mother who heard it just fell silent and glanced at Edward to get an answer from his son because he did not want to make a unilateral decision anymore. Edward who understood it immediately stood up from his seat walking towards the stairs.
Everyone just looked at it with a puzzled look, as Edward's steps came to a halt as he wanted to start the first rung.
“ Well if it's Aunty's wish, we will try for 3 days. If for 3 days I can not love Melisa then I will cancel all this “ said Edward who made the face of Aunt Lucia smile widely
Finished saying so and without waiting for an answer from Aunt Lucia, Edward again walked up the stairs to his room. He does not care about everything around him anymore and especially about love or marriage.
Arriving in the room, Edward immediately took off his black suit and threw it on the mattress and followed with a blow to his body. Edward laid his tired body on the bed, silent for a moment while staring at the dark ceiling.
Mumbled something before he closed his eyes and fell asleep...
“ I wouldn't enjoy love or marriage if you were there still stuck in the dark of the past "
