"I want this wedding annulled!"
"What?" Mama Reni and Gerald were very surprised to hear Amora's words.
"What's wrong? Why would you want to cancel this wedding, honey?" Mama Reni approaches Amora. The woman looked at Amora who looked teary. Meanwhile, Gerald clenched his hand.
Mama Reni's gaze turned to look at the tailor who had been waiting for Amora and then hinted at her to leave from there. Mama Reni did not want her personal problems to be known to many people.
Mama Reni looked back at Amora who was now shedding tears.
"What's up, honey? Why would you want to cancel your marriage to Gerald? Did Gerald make a mistake with you?" Mama Reni spoke softly as she stroked Amora's hair.
"Auntie." Amora could not stand it. The girl who had lost her virginity then hugged Mama Reni and cried in the middle-aged woman's arms.
Mama Reni's kindness made Amora even sadder. She could not bear to see the woman grieving over her decision to cancel the marriage. However, being married to Gerald also could not do.
It was really two difficult choices for her, and Amora could not have chosen one. Last night, he decided to end his marriage to Gerald.
Amora doesn't care even if she has to lose everything. Includes scholarships awarded by both Gerald's parents. Amora is unlikely to marry Gerald, the scoundrel who sold her to Sagara and betrayed her best friend.
After all, Amora did not love that man either. He could not have imagined if he was actually married to a man like Gerald. What would her household be like if she married Gerald who had clearly made a mistake and never loved her?
"What's going on? Please tell Auntie, why do you intend to cancel your marriage to Gerald?" Mama Reni asked again.
"Ma, Amora and I are having a little disagreement. Maybe he's still mad at me, so he's saying shit!" Gerald said with annoyance.
In his heart he berated Amora for not knowing himself to say he wanted to cancel the marriage. Who was he to dare to reject a Gerald?
Gerald confesses his guilt for selling Amora and betrays the girl by making love to Helga. However, Gerald never thought if Amora said to cancel their marriage. Especially in front of his mother.
"Mama didn't ask you, Gerald."
"Ma–"
"If you're proven to have made a mistake, you won't hesitate to punish you!"
"I don't want to marry Gerald, Auntie." Amora releases Mama Reni's embrace.
"Why? Why don't you want to marry Gerald? Can you tell Auntie the reason?"
Amora shakes. The woman was still sobbing with tears that kept flowing down her cheeks.
The shadow of last night's events flashed through his head. Amora was crying again when she felt a great pain. His heart ached as if he had been hit by thousands of needles as Sagara had stained him.
His chest tightens after finding out that Gerald is responsible for Sagara's actions. Had Gerald not sold it to Sagara, that night there was no way he could have been in Sagara's apartment.
Stupid Amora, at that time she did not realize if Gerald deliberately left her in front of the apartment that turned out to be Sagara's. The man she secretly loved.
At the time, Gerald said he would take him to his friend's apartment because he had business with his friend. Unexpectedly, that was just Gerald's reason for setting him up.
"Tell Aunt, what's the reason you canceled your marriage to Gerald?"
"August ...." Amora was crying again.
"Don't be afraid. Aunty wouldn't be mad at you if the reason was obvious." Mama Reni wiped Amora's tears.
Mama Reni is convinced that something has happened to Amora. Otherwise, the woman before him would definitely not have taken such a big decision.
Gerald looked at Amora sharply. Both hands clenched. The man was angry and panicked.
"I will never let you go if you really tell my actions to my mother, Amora," said Gerald.
"Amora, Darling–"
"Gerald betrayed me, Auntie. Last night, I saw Gerald fuck my best friend in the apartment."
"What?"
