Harven is now in 3rd grade of SMU, he is still a child for Merilin. Legally so too. He wants to go to college later, it has to involve his guardian's signature. For Merylin to keep Harven until he grows up will always be her responsibility.
The younger brother who was born after the girl's elementary school, faintly, the memory of taking care of Harven while the baby was still present in Merylin's memory. To be honest, he was unable to part with Harven either.
But, bringing Harven into the house he was going to live with Mr. Rion was also something impossible. The man had already given him a stern warning. If he doesn't want to get involved with the Merylin family.
The fear of Merylin stepping into a hell called marriage, is actually still not too scary than having to lose her mother and sister.
“Don't throw me sister, I will obey Sister Mei, I will also study diligently so that I can go to college as Kak Mei asks. But please don't throw me away.” Stammering Harven spoke making Merilin's heart slashed bitterly.
After all, the departure of their first brother had already become a kind of trauma and fear. Getting married is parting ways with family, as Harven believes.
“Kak May, will not throw you Dek.”
Merilin hugged her sister whose shoulders were still shaken.
Ah, she was sorry why to say it now. He should have spoken slowly and carefully. The girl regretted making the hasty decision. Harven rubbed his shoulders, until the man calmed down and took a slow breath.
“Dek, he's a good man, he won't break Kak Mei's relationship with you either. He knows our family situation. Sister Mei who has to pay off her father's debt she knows it, the mother who is in the hospital she also knows, and she knows Kak Mei has you. He wants to accept all that.”
Yes, Mr. Rion will pay Kak Mei with that tigal, as long as Kak Mei can be the wife she wants.
Harven as he pleased, rubbed the tip of his eyes, raised his head. Seeing the lightness from Merylin's words, what her brother was talking about was actually, not just to comfort her and cover up reality. Is there really a man as good as that. Kak Mei is beautiful and kind-hearted, but behind Kak Mei's back is a burden that she must bear.
”Who is Mei getting married? Friends Brother Serge?”
Merilin invited her sister to move to sit on the sofa. Then he went to fetch water, thrusting it in front of Harven. In a few gulps, the contents of the glass have run aground. Seeing that his sister had calmed down, he would explain a few things, so that his sister would not worry.
“He's a friend of Serge's. Not a friend, but a superior Serge.”
He's my boss too.
“What is he good man Kak?”
I don't know, I don't know if he's a good guy or not. A man looking for a wife to be a doll next to him, who moves as he wishes. What such a man could be said to be good. Merilin doesn't know either. However, as he was, he gave a promise that Merylin could not get anywhere. Already made him a good man for Merylin.
“Of course, he's good. He's Serge's friend. There is no way Serge betrothed us if he knew the man was not good.”
Merilin's reply made her tensed-looking sister start to be able to lay her back on the back of the sofa.
“As long as he is good, it is enough for me, as long as he treats Kak Mei well.”
Ah, I don't know. What matters is that you're not worried.
Merilin was just telling me about Rion being fine. About the man who was willing to help the mother's long-term treatment and pay the father's debt. Regarding the marriage contract, it will only be the secret of the three of them.
Harven seemed to be thinking, tapping his feet. Trying to believe what Merylin told me about the man. However, there was something stuck in his heart. Something that makes him uncomfortable.
Is it true, there are men as good as that? Even Serge won't pay off father's debt, even though Harven knows how well Serge is with his family. Harven looked suspiciously at merilin, the girl looked unsettled. Because I feel suspected. He tried to cover up the anxiety by smiling.
“What did he ask Kak Mei?”
Merilin Daritadi only told about what her future husband would give, but Harven had not heard what the man had asked for.
I don't know where the idea came from, but Merylin's answer just came out of her mouth.
“Love. Hahaha.” Merilin covered her face with her hands. Pretending to be embarrassed, so Harven stops interrogating him. “She asks for love from Kak Mei.” Shame from behind hands.
Hah, love, I would never even give my love to her Dek, because I already love other men.
“What the hell is Kak, but, how is Kak Serge. Sis Mei is loving Kak Serge, has Kak Mei's love turned on her?"
Aaaaah, don't ask Dek too much, I'll find out I lied a lot.
"Maybe now I haven't been able to forget Brother Ge, but, I will try to love my husband sincerely."
Harven grabbed Merylin's hand, grasping her tightly. He shook his head vigorously, rejecting Kak Mei's statement.
"Don't continue, Brother, if Kak Mei still loves Kak Ge, how can Kak Mei marry another man? Mei will not live happily."
I don't know Deck, but this wedding can't be canceled now. I've signed a contract that shackles my feet, for you and mom.
Merilin was no longer able to step back or turn around. He nodded his head sure yesterday. Two years in May, just two years. Once the girl convinced her heart again.
"Sister Mei, don't do it just because of me and your mother, don't ruin Mei's life. I can quit school and work for money to help out, sister Mei."
Plaque! Merylin's hand hit Harven's shoulder. When his sister talked about him quitting school.
"Ven, you promised me the same, sister Mei. You love me and my mother. So please, Brother Mei, do not destroy the hard work that Kak Mei has done for you. Isn't it our dream to rebuild what has destroyed father. You have to go to college, you have to live well. At least for sister Mei do that."
Harven cried again, then hugged Merylin while apologizing repeatedly.
"Sorry, I'm sorry, I won't say that again. I will bless Kak Mei to marry Kak. I'm sorry." it's hard on Kak Mei's shoulder. His tears wet Merilin's clothes.
This marriage will not make me happy, I also know that, but, I am married indeed not to seek happiness in Mr. Rion, that is how Merilin wrote the word scratches to be carved in his heart. So that he does not expect the slightest happiness in this marriage later.
"You're calmer?" Swiping Harven's head slowly. Her sister nodded. "Rest."
"Not sleepy. Is Mei going to sleep?"
"So, I'm gonna take a shower first."
Harven who was about to step around the body again. Seeing Merilin.
"Sister, does Brama want to be told?" Harven's voice turned somewhat taut when he mentioned his first brother's name. "Will he come, if Sister Mei asks."
Whether when they last met face to face, Harven had also forgotten.
"Let Sister Mei tell you."
"Yes, I studied outside while waiting for Kak Mei to finish taking a bath."
Merilin smiled at Harven's reply, and sure enough, when the girl came out of the bathroom, her sister was studying while sitting on the carpet leaning on the sofa. Books strewn.
They chatted for quite a while, Harven said again about his schoolmate. Merilin laughed in response, again teasing Harven, with the word Cieeee. Then she ruffled her sister's hair.
As time passed, Merylin and Harven entered their rooms. The girl fell down on the doorstep of her room. Crying without a sound. Long she was in that position, after her tears had shrunk she dragged her feet towards the bed.
It just fell down Merylin's body, with a prone position.
Serge's shadow flashed. But suddenly the friendly face changed, the cold smile of a man, who touched his chin. A terrifying grin emerged from those lips now.
"My phone, my doll's wife."
Merilin screamed, she opened her eyes. It was just a dream. He pulled his body, sat leaning back. Pulling off her irregular hair.
