Anton is in a dilemma between his father's guilt and hatred, he can't possibly fight his father anymore if he already knows the reason that makes his daddy hate the girl so much.
"I have to find out the truth about mommy's death, it seems impossible if only for love, someone could eliminate the life of others, he said, moreover, what I saw Aunt Lestari was a gentle and loving person, she was also a Doctor. I can't believe that Aunt Lestari would kill mommy just to get daddy." Anton muttered to himself.
Anton moves to meet Lestari at his mansion. The man was determined to find out the truth. However, before Anton exits the mansion, the man stops his footsteps after hearing George's voice from behind his back.
"Where are you going? Remember your promise to daddy that you'll obey daddy's wish, if daddy gives you a clear reason why daddy doesn't like Dinda. Is that not clear enough to you?" George looked at Anton who was on his back.
Anton turned back and looked at George standing behind him. George looked at Anton sharply as if emanating an aura of anger within the middle-aged man.
Anton smiled gently at the daddy, the man stepped closer to George, then stood in front of the middle-aged man, Anton hugging George with his guilt.
"I'm sorry Anton Dad, Anton will obey whatever daddy wants, including staying away from Dinda and receiving an arranged marriage from daddy," Anton said.
George returned Anton's embrace. The man smiled at his beloved son's words, he was very relieved because Anton obeyed his desire to stay away from Dinda.
"Thank you, if you're going to indulge daddy's wish! Daddy wants you to get married in half a month with daddy's business partner's son" George said. The middle-aged man let go of his embrace then patted Anton on the shoulder.
Deg.
Anton was surprised by the time set by his daddy. He felt that something was stirring in his heart, either because of his guilt for Dinda, or because he did not know the girl he was going to marry.
"Is the time not too fast Dad?" ask Anton.
"Why? You mind? Do you want to break your promise to daddy?" ask George.
"No Dad! Daddy knew for himself that if Anton had promised, Anton would not deny it" Anton said.
"Daddy hold your word! Later that night I want you to meet your future wife! Daddy's gonna call daddy's business buddy to talk about this. There are not many reasons to postpone it, it's enough daddy to give you time all this time" said George.
"All right, it's up to daddy. Anton won't turn it down." The man smiled forcedly.
"Thank you, Daddy's proud of you!" said George. The man patted Anton on the shoulder again, then stepped out of the mansion holding his phone after hearing the answer from his son. While Anton stood staring at the departure of his daddy with an uncertain feeling.
...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️...
Her night.
Anton is ready with a navy suit, white T-shirt and jeans in the same color. The man looked so handsome with the clothes worn that night, Anton approached the two families who had gathered at the dinner table. However, when he saw the person at the table, Anton was very surprised to find Maudy was also his father who was invited by the daddy.
However, Anton still neutralizes his attitude and steps closer to the bench occupied by George, Anton is flat with raging feelings. The man covered his shock by acting ordinary as if he did not know the woman.
"You've come? Sit down!" George smiled. The man showed me the empty chair next to him.
"So he's your son you told me about?" nugraha asked Maudy's father. The middle-aged man smilingly looked at George as well as Anton.
"Yes, he's the one I'm going to marry your daughter Maudy to" George said.
"I'm glad if there's anything serious about my daughter, I've had enough of her freedom all this time, it's time she started a more serious life." Nugraha looked at his smiling daughter staring at him.
"First acquaintance with daddy's business partner's son! He's the one I'm gonna betrothed to you, 'Maudy Nugraha." said George. The middle-aged man looked at Maudy with his gentle smile. While Anton looked at his daddy who looked happy.
"Anton," said the man flatly.
"Maudy" said the woman with a fake smile. He deliberately accepts the match to avenge his heartache on Anton for always getting in the way of his relationship with Brian.
"Look at my vengeance heretical Doctor!" maudy's mind with a cynical smile.
Anton still turned his gaze away from Maudy. I don't know what's on that guy's mind nobody knows.
"From tomorrow you learn to know each other, I will return to Indonesia to pick up Maudy's mother" Nugraha said.
"Good Well!" maudy smiled softly at Nugraha.
After talking, the two families enjoyed the dinner in silence, only the sound of spoons and forks livening up the dining table.
After dinner and talking about Anton and Maudy's wedding, Anton immediately stood up and said goodbye to go home first after the dinner was over. However, George tells her to drive Maudy to the woman's apartment.
The girl of French Indonesian descent smiled and accepted George's offer to go home with Anton. While Anton obeyed the wishes of his daddy without much reason because he knew that his daddy would continue to force until he could not refuse. So Anton had no choice but to obey the wishes of his father.
Anton leaves George and Nugraha with Maudy trailing behind him. The man walked leisurely without any intention of looking at Maudy in the least.
Arriving in the car, Maudy sits on the front bench with Anton sitting in the steering chair. The man drove his car at a moderate speed, he did not turn to the woman beside him even though Maudy tried to melt the atmosphere by inviting Anton to speak. However, the man did not respond to Maudy until Maudy was upset.
"Why don't you answer me? I was talking about the wind." Maudy looked at Anton annoyedly, then turned her gaze away from Anton.
"When have I been close to you? I know you accepted this matchmaking with a specific intent." Anton looked at Maudy who was looking straight ahead. The man smiled sinisterly and then looked back at the streets.
"Why do you always look at me badly? Though I've always been nice to you even though you've always insulted me." Maudy looked at Anton with a sad face.
"You don't have to be as sad-looking as you are, because I'm not the easy Brian you fool." Anton smiled his smile with a cynical smile.
