Labuhan Cinta Tuan Bima
It All Begins...

One year ago...

"No! I don't want to be betrothed! Daddy, what era do you think this is? I don't want to!" Daniel's voice boomed when the father wanted to match him with his grandfather's will girl.

"Your grandfather owes the girl a debt of gratitude. Therefore, your grandfather wants you to take responsibility for the girl." Ayaz explained carefully.

"But why the wedding? Just pay with money, all right?" upset Daniel.

"Of course Daddy did that. Daddy's paying for the girl's college in Paris."

Daniel's head bobbles.

"See the girl first and decide! You won't get the rights as heir to the Hazar Group if you don't marry Delia!" Ayaz left Daniel who was still sculpting.

Daniel told Delia everything. They were still in Daniel's car and stopped by the road.

Daniel is forced to tell her everything without anything being covered up because Delia threatens to hate Daniel if he lies. I don't know why Daniel was weak in front of Delia. He was afraid of losing this girl.

"So how much money have you spent on my family?"

Delia's question made Daniel frown in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"It's obvious, right? My grandfather did help your grandfather, and I think that by paying for my college, that's enough! No need to bear my father's medical expenses! So, let's just be clear now!" Delia's voice sounded very firm and straightforward.

"Delia..."

"Mas doesn't have to take responsibility for my life! I can take care of myself. I can support my mom and dad. So, please ... don't continue this matchmaking. I don't love you and I don't love you either. I don't want to marry someone who doesn't love me!"

Daniel remained silent. During these three months he was looking a lot. He was pondering about his feelings for Delia. Is it true love, or just an obsession to get what he wants, namely the Hazar Group. Daniel didn't want to lose Delia, but what was the reason? Daniel still doesn't know.

"Aren't you ready to get engaged to me yesterday? Why are you changing your mind now?"

"Because I don't think I can do it! We'll cancel our engagement!"

Daniel gritted his teeth. It was hard talking to this girl, he thought.

"What do our parents say if we cancel this engagement?" daniel asked trying to make Delia a dilemma.

"I'll talk to mom and dad. I'm sure they'll understand!"

After the conversation, Delia chose to get out of Daniel's car and called a taxi. Delia had to finish all of this immediately. He does not want to continue to bear the will of a debt of gratitude that stifles him.

Bima stacked his client's files on the sofa in the middle room of his apartment. Bima used to do work in the middle room rather than in his study.

Although it is not the time for working hours anymore, Bima chose to spend time by reading his client case files. It is the same average. Divorce due to domestic violence or also reasons for incompatibility and economic problems.

Bima had just finished making coffee when her apartment doorbell rang. Bima frowned. Because there are usually no guests who come at this hour.

Bima opened the door and saw Daniel there.

"Hi, buddy. I brought you a drink!" greet Daniel by showing him a plastic bag of beer.

Bima could not resist the presence of Daniel. Tumben once Daniel came, he thought.

"Well, you're even still working, huu?" ask Daniel when he sees a messy table containing files belonging to Bima's client.

"Easy! What the hell are you coming here for? You don't usually come at night like this."

Bima smiled bitterly. "Why don't you go with your woman, too?"

Daniel did not answer and instead opened the lid of the beer can and gulped it down. "Drink! You won't get drunk just for drinking a bottle!" Daniel puts a bottle of beer on Bima.

"I have to work!" bima resolute.

Daniel nodded in understanding. He lay down on the sofa and noticed Bima who was again busy with her files.

"Are you not saturated every day with other people's problems?" ask Daniel.

Bima is bored with her routine. He also wants to face another challenge. But, he had no choice. He must pay employees who have been loyal to support his career since the beginning.

"If you get bored, you can join my firm. A great lawyer like you is perfect to work there."

Bima smiled small. "I'll think if I'm completely saturated."

Daniel thunts. It's hard to talk to his best friend. There was no more conversation between them.

Daniel comforts his body by falling asleep on the couch. His hands are used as a base. He daydreamed looking at the ceiling of Bima's apartment.

"Are Delia and I really engaged? Why wouldn't I be willing if Delia left?"

Daniel's phone suddenly shook, a call from Retno, Delia's mother. Though hesitating, Daniel finally answered the call.

"Hello, Aunt..."

Daniel's face paled. He immediately got up and stood up.

"Good, Aunt. I'll be there soon!" Call ended.

"What's wrong?" bima asked confused.

"I have to go, Bim. Thanks for having a drink with me!" Daniel is gone.

Daniel drove his car at full speed. He had expected that Delia's decision to cancel their match would have a bad impact.

Daniel arrived at the hospital parking lot. He immediately ran towards Ciputra's ward. Yes, Retno contacted Daniel and told him that Ciputra fainted after Delia talked about canceling their match.

Daniel sees Delia sitting on a hospital bench in front of a room. Daniel approaches.

"Mas Daniel?" Delia realized Daniel's presence.

"Hi, how's your father doing?"

"Who told you about Dad?" delia asked, not liking Daniel's arrival.

"It doesn't matter where I know! I'll take care of the administrative expenses. If we need to move your father to the VVIP room."

Daniel quickly moves on but Delia holds him back.

"Mas doesn't have to do this anymore for my family! I'll cover your own hospital expenses!" delia said firmly.

"Delia, don't hesitate. I'm used to it..."

"And I don't want any of this to become a habit! It's enough to help my family, now let me take care of my father!" megat Delia fast.

"Delia, your father is looking for you!" Retno's voice stopped the debate between Delia and Daniel.

"You're in, too, son of Daniel," Retno continued.

Delia and Daniel went into Ciputra's nursery. The middle-aged man commented on the smile seeing Daniel and Delia coming together.

"Son Daniel, Delia. Father please... Don't cancel your matchmaking" said Ciputra with teary eyes.
