She actually had an older brother, however, her older brother chose to run away from responsibility, leaving Merylin with no choice. Besides living for his family. For the sake of her younger brother who is still SMU and the mother who needs him.

Merilin Anastasya is a girl who has just bloomed like a flower petal. He graduated college with good and satisfying grades. He has a harmonious family. Mother and father who love each other. The older brother is hardworking and affectionate to his family and the older brother already has a lover. They even planned to get married.

Don't forget, Merylin's younger brother, Harven. Although the SMU boy was a bit cool and careless but he never made trouble. The report was also satisfactory. He can get into the university of his choice with that value.

Merilin's life was perfect. He has close friends who, although not many, have been friends with them in a matter of years. Merilin is like a young girl in general. Often spent time with his best friend. Eat together occasionally, watch if there are new and popular movies that are crowded on social media, stay at weekends and chat until the morning as well they do, or occasionally shop together after getting a salary.

Merilin got a job at a big company. Andez Corporation, a construction company engaged in the construction of residential and luxury apartments. He got a job at the head office after a six-month internship. The girl is currently in the data documentation and promotion center division. There are several parts in the division where he works. His job is as editor-in-chief of the monthly Andez Corporation magazine.

The perfect life for a 23 year old girl.

After arranging his career well, now is the time. Merilin wants to start venturing to fight for the love that she can only do in silence and silence.

It is not love clapping one hand, for he has not yet had the courage to express it. All this time he managed to hide his feelings neatly, without anyone knowing. No one knows but his best friend. But I don't know.

The girl called her love as love in solitude. Loving in silence.

That was the life scenario that Merylin had created. He achieved one of his dreams. Stable work and then chasing love. Once she feels she has become a woman who deserves to be with a man she likes. He will dare to confess his feelings.

But all his life plans were immediately scattered in a matter of months, collapsing like leaves that fall in the dry season. His life plan was ruined like being swallowed by a hurricane.

His family's condition has dragged him into a black hole that destroyed his youth. When he was 23 years old, he had to replace his father as head of the family.

The financial downfall of the company is the beginning. Merilin lives only for the sake of family and keeps all her personal desires and pursues her love in an iron box. Pushing him deep into his heart's deepest hole. He would only see reality before his eyes now. He is responsible for replacing my father. He threw away the key that held all his feelings. So that he does not look at the man he loves anymore. Maybe someday he'll dare to open the box. After he lived better.

Maybe there will be that chance. He wishes.

...🍓🍓🍓...

Merilin's father's company went bankrupt, starting with a large project he worked on with business partners. The business partner he already considered a brother ran away carrying all the capital money of the project. Eventually Merylin's father took on the company's debt alone. Company properties are tied one by one. The magnificent house that was originally a symbol of their family's success also eventually had to be sold to cover the company's debt. Meet the employee's salary demands for the last time.

“Exit, everything is up. There's nothing left.” Father lamented his fate in the corner of the house. In front of him were scattered company documents.

The overcast sky greeted Merilin and her family, as they had to move in a densely populated narrow swath. The alakadarnya rented house. Live while looking away when they cross paths with people they have known in the past. Because along with the whispers and pity gaze made them feel even more hurt. Feeling humiliated, devastated and losing all honor and passion for life.

Father who began to be sickly because it was tormented mentally, physically and psychically because of the feeling of pressure and guilt, father thought that the company was destroyed. As a result of the destruction of the company spread to the destruction of the happiness of his family.

The emaciated father's body showed how the depression was eating his body weight. In the morning he sat staring at the window. Food or drink that he sometimes touches, but often scattered in a mess. Dad had a mental disorder that damaged his health.

Finally the father who is sickly, several times must be treated at the Hospital. When the body was no longer able to survive, the man died. Leaving all burdens. The tears that poured mixed tightly and fear of facing the future became the days of Merilin let go of her father.

Unresolved father's debt. Living ahead with a hit mother is double-engaged from the others. Everything felt more and more strangling the girl.

Moreover, when his elder brother was kneeling while crying hugging his feet. After all the funeral procession Dad just finished.

“I beg Mei, let me go from here, otherwise I can also die. May, I beg.” His job is to replace Dad. But he felt defeated before he even started.

“Kak don't be so Brother, I'm also afraid Kak.” Merilin was crying. “We do it together Kak.”

“I could die May, if I survive in this family. I beg you let me go.”

Merylin's older brother, Bramanta, is already engaged to his lover, even the talk of marriage has happened a long time ago. Before all the father's company's bankruptcy began. The bankruptcy of his family he kept the robbery from the family of his future wife. Since he was unsure, the love between them could be that strong to head off family rejection. To get the blessing of his lover's parents only takes up to a year.

“I'll help pay off dad's debt, but please let me get away from this family. You know I'll be married soon. Why is everything so fucked up like this. All because of a father who is too trusting of his business partner,” he said mixed between sobs and disgust.

Merilin hugged the head of her elder brother who was still as unwilling as she could.

Don't blame me again, brother, I also suffered a lot before his death.

“May, let me go May. I beg.”

It felt like Merylin also wanted to shout out in anger and annoyance. How the man who was supposed to replace the father as the head of the family instead wanted to go and wash his hands leaving all the mess that his father had inherited.

But the girl remembered how her brother's relationship struggle with his future wife, making him bite his lips can not say anything. He had to give up so that everyone could smile happily. He will also pretend to smile.

“Marry sister, I will take care of mother and Harven, but I beg you, do not forget us.”

That was how Merylin finally allowed Bramanta to marry his lover. A marriage performed with great fanfare.

As time went on, Bramanta still sent money to help pay off the father's debt every month. But that's just how their family relationships are. For Merylin, her older brother had become a stranger.

Now the little girl with those wide clear eyeballs, had to pull her sleeves. Tying her long brownish curls high behind her head. Rubbing his eyes strong so as not to cry even a drop.

She's the one who has to fight to survive for her mother and younger brother.

Merilin became the head of the family at a very young age.
