Chapter 39

Inside Albert's house.

"Is dad okay? I'm so worried about you, Mom," said the girl in Albert's room.

"Mom sure your father will be fine" said his mother who walked over to the girl who was still standing by the large window in the room.

"Tap.., I'm not here, Mom and it's ten in the night. Didn't you tell me he was coming, Mom?" there was a sad tone full of worry towards his father.

"Calm down, honey. She'll be fine" said her mother holding her two shoulders.

The girl turns around, embraces her mother and sheds tears that she can no longer hold back. The tears were painful as Albert watched her from behind the slightly open door. He intended to offer hot chocolate to drink at night before going to bed. But the reality is different, what he saw was a slap that he could not keep his woman. Just hit by problems like this, his feelings shrunk to believe that his proposal a few days ago will be implemented or not.

Albert shook his head, and immediately left from there before being caught by two women of different ages who were hugging shared his sadness because the figure of the man who awaited never arrived. Albert tried to throw away his bad thoughts and did not want himself to be ostracized because he could not protect his future wife.

"I'm going to ask Bass this! Although I know what it means, but I will give him a strong warning not to mess around with my future wife" Albert thought.

Johan saw Albert's fist harden. Immediately he patted his sister's shoulder. "You take it easy, Sheriff's men have helped Uncle Herman. I've told you. I'm sure they'll never bother again."

"I'm so upset, Johan! You know that I love girls and they want to take them away from me for reasons I don't think make sense!" said Albert. He is now in Johan's room.

"But...,"

But had not been able to continue his words, Johan immediately refuted, "Already. Calm yourself. Let's see the results tomorrow, ok. Sleep well. I want to go to bed too."

"You don't want to drink hot chocolate with me?" ask Albert who has calmed down a little.

"You're just there. Give me some hot chocolate in the morning. I already want to sleep. Good night, my brother."

Albert turned to his bed and sat there. He propped his arms against his head as if he thought he would succeed tomorrow to threaten the two men to stay away from his future wife? But what if he was transferred to teach at another campus and left Girl? He continued to think that the possibilities that would happen even he who was still near the Girl could not fully take care of himself. How bad he is as an imperfect man. He even curses himself daily on his disfigured feet. Not free to run, the movement when walking was slow as if everything he did not want to be grateful for his condition.

"What if the marriage is accelerated and I'm going to the rector's office to request that my papers not be transferred to Nevada. It would be far from Victoria," murmured Albert himself without anyone hearing it.

He hurried to lay down his tired body and closed his eyes to sleep.

Good night, Girl...,
