Today, Meli's departure day back to Aussie had already been a month she spent in Indonesia. The plan is mid-month he will hear his script. While in Jakarta, more activities are spent in the room, in front of the laptop more precisely. The script requires more thought. Even though his mentors there are very welcome. There's no obstacle. There is absolutely no difficulty in making a thesis like in Indonesia. The mentors here are so cooperative. That is why Meli was able to quickly complete her education. If you look at the university calendar, by the end of this year he has been able to graduate. That means in the next year he can already help his Papi take care of the Hendrawan family company.
"Heart on the road, baby. Don't forget to call when you get there." message Mami Anita while embracing her favorite daughter. Hugged tightly and then broke the hug and looked at the twin who had taken him to the airport.
"I say goodbye.jagain Mami.and Papi.." whispered Meli while Hugging Melati. Then break off the embrace but still while embracing the waist of the sister. His eyes glazed - glass.
"Greet Mas Resnu, let me know if he proposes to you, "he said, rubbing his sister's cheek gently. Melati. Smile gently at my sister.
"Don't forget to call me. I always miss you. When you found out that there was me, your twin sister," said Melati answered a nod by Meli. Meli then kisses gently smooth cheeks jasmine.
"I went in first Mi. Salam with Papi and mas Reyhan."
"Yes, be careful, baby, don't forget the request of the Rendy family. Her family is waiting for a decision from you " said Mami Anita as she took off their kiss. The girl only kept quiet when she heard Rendy's name.
Without saying - said Meli then entered the boarding pass examination room.
Mami Anita and Melati leave Soetta airport with a private driver after not seeing Meli's shadow from inside the airport.
Anita scrunched her forehead. He was really dizzy with Meli's attitude . Which seems indifferent about his engagement to Rendy. While Rendy's family was waiting for Meli's answer.
Actually Anita does not like to impose her will on her children. But her husband, Hendrawan was very adamant to match Meli and Rendy.
Because Rendy's parents were Hendrawan's best friends when they were young.
Hendrawan is desperate to have a son-in-law Tommy Wiryawan. Tommy owns a textile ink making company. That is why Hendrawan wants to expand his business by strengthening relations with Tommy through the marriage of Meli and Rendy.
Hendrawan always reasoned, there was no harm to Meli if married to Rendy. The man is not only handsome but also a doctor and is the only child of Tommy Wiryawan who is famous for his wealth. And Anita will not be able to protest with Hendrawan's will. Because the man if he already has to be followed. No exception to his wife and children.
The plane in Meli has landed at Melbourne International Airport.
After getting off the plane and picking up her bag of clothes, Meli pushed the trolley straight out the airport door. At the door, there were already many migrant pickups arriving at Melbourne airport. Meli Included.
A handsome young man of tall stature with a reddish-white skin typical of Caucasians, waved his hand at the tall and slim beautiful girl. Meli approached the young man.
"Hey..Li .." his greeting is friendly. Meli smiled then let the man kiss both cheeks.
"Are you ok? why is there such a problem on your face?" asked the man while lifting Meli's travel bag and pushing her towards the parking lot. Meli just kept quiet. Without words until they got into the car.
"Stev.forgive me. I can't tell you yet. Forgive me," Meli replied with a sad face. Steven, the man who picked up Meli fell silent. Then he started turning his car contacts and the car drove away from the airport parking lot.
"Ok.I don't want to force you to tell a story, but you can spill all your sadness here on this shoulder. In my shoulder..Ok.." he said as he occasionally looked at Meli who was leaning on her chair. Then refocus on the road ahead of him.
"Well.thanks.." said Meli as she closed her eyes. His mind is really complicated. What answer to say to his parents, while his heart did not love Rendy at all.
Steven only kept silent as he glanced at Meli who closed his eyes. A few days ago Meli sent a chat on the green app.
In his chat Meli said that at the beginning of the month he would go home. And asked Steven to pick her up at Melbourne airport. There was absolutely no sign of sadness in the girl's chat to him. Looks like normal.
No more than thirty minutes, Steven's car was already in the parking lot of the flat where Meli lived. The handsome man woke up Meli who was still sound asleep. Not wanting to disturb Meli's deep sleep, Steven decided to carry Meli into Meli's rented house. Lucky when going to Indonesia, the girl left the keys to her house to Steven.
He made the man easily open the door. After entering the house, Steven took Meli to his room. Before his one hand painstakingly squeezed the light switch on the wall. Then put the girl's body carefully and then cover Meli's body with a blanket.
The day before Meli returned to Melbourne, Steve had told his men to clean Meli's flat. So that when Meli came home today, the house was neat and clean.
Meli looks good at her sleep. Naturally, because the distance between Jakarta - Melbourne is usually traveled more than 10 hours. Steve knew Meli must be exhausted .
After Steve put Meli's body on the bed, Steve then walked towards the kitchen. Open the refrigerator that has been filled with various vegetables, chicken, meat and fruit.
Steve started making honey-baked chicken, baking bread and boiling some chickpeas and carrots. Didn't wait long. Steven's cooking is on trial.
The fragrant aroma of Steven's cooking, building up Meli who is sound asleep. The girl walked following the direction of the fragrant smell that spread from her tiny kitchen. His eyes instantly widened when he saw Steven who was arranging food on the dining table.
Stev, what are you doing?" tanya Meli walked over to Steven .
Meli laughed while closing her mouth. Her best friend always gave her a sweet surprise.
"Thanks a lot Stev. Don't be so busy.I'm so bad.you always please my heart that's broken like this. Thanks ya.." said Meli while sitting with a chair that has been prepared by Steven. Steven replied with a smile.
"Come on.try my homemade food.hopefully like it,"
"Of course, with pleasure. It just so happens that I'm hungry. Earlier in Indo did not have time to eat breakfast perfectly," he said at the same time with a crisp laugh.
The two of them enjoyed dinner together. Joking around with familiar.
The clock on the wall was already showing to 10 p.m. That means in Jakarta only at 7 p.m. Meli and Steven were sitting casually on the sofa located in front of the television.
Steven looked at the beautiful girl. His face no longer showed sadness. It's back cheerful. Steven looked at the clock on the wall.
"Li.I went home first. Tomorrow if you want to go to college, call me. Let me pick it up." said Steven.
"Why not just go. There is one more empty room here. I'm lonely," she asked spoiled. Steve smile.
"I really want to Li. But aren't you afraid that I'm sneaking into your room?" goda Steven's. In such a tease makes Meli's face flushed like a boiled crab. Steven laughed hard.
'How funny are you Li, so gurgling' Steve whispered inwardly.
"Already ah.I go home first. Tomorrow I'll pick up . You must want to meet with your guidance counselor right?"
answered nod by Meli. Meli then drove Steven to the front door. Then go back inside. When Steven's car disappears around the corner.
When entering the house. I heard his phone ringing. Half-run Meli took her phone. Then read who called him. It says Mama's name. Meli then pressed the green button. There was a soft voice across.
"Assynolajet..Mih.."
"Waalaikumsalam, have you arrived Li?"
"I'm already home."
"Yes already. Mom, what is your decision? Papi has urged Mami to call you. Your decision is. And still according to your papi, must accept Rendy to be your husband. Remember Li. Next year you have to officially become Rendy's wife." Mami's voice turned into a heavy voice, Papi's voice. Meli was in shock. He had no idea how much luck he was so unfriendly to him. Her tears flowed without her command. Meli shrinks her tears. Trying not to be heard by Papi and his Mami .
" Maafin Lili Mami ...Lili didn't.." The crying broke. But someone behind the door of his house heard Meli's cry.
Meli hung up her phone call. Pressing the red mark on his phone screen. Call disconnected. The girl was crying sobbing. Unknowingly, a hand embraces his body which is vibrated by the cry. The hand then turned Meli's body so that it faced the person.
"Steve's..."
"My phone was left in the kitchen. When I came back to take her I saw you cry. What's the matter Li?"
"But forced me to marry Papi's best friend's son.I can't accept Stev..I love another man" Meli replied with an unrelenting cry.
Steve took a strong breath. His heart ached to see the sorrow of the girl he loved so much.
'But wait a minute. Who is the man Meli loves' asked Steven curiously in his heart.
"Why is there such a match?if you don't want to have to you refuse. Don't let my heart hurt by that matchmaking." Steve advises in.
"If I may ask, who is the Lucky guy who made you fall in love?" asked Steven curiously.
