After the restaurant closed, I immediately followed Firo in front of the beach. Firo looks to be looking at, the waves pounding.

I clapped his shoulders, Firo turned to smile at me. "I'm sorry for what happened today" I wrote in the book.

After reading my writing, Firo said, "Why should you apologize? You're not wrong, that jerk is just the brash one" Firo said.

I smiled, I wrote again, "Thank you for standing up for me."

"I want to ask you can?" firo asked while holding my hand.

I nodded, Firo continued, "Would you be my wife?"

Hearing the words that came out of his mouth, I was very surprised. My heart was pounding, only this time did I hear such a word. I was confused as to what to answer, only speechlessly gulping spit.

"I don't need an answer right now, but I'll wait for your answer. I'll say goodbye first." Firo let go of his hand then walked towards his car.

My heart was still pounding so hard I didn't realize I was still daydreaming and didn't notice Firo leaving.

The horn rang I just realized, Firo is home. What I was thinking, I should have answered. Hit the head and regret not answering.

But, as I thought about it, I was grateful that Firo would wait, because I still had to solve my problem with Mr. Roy. Not yet added his son who recently disturbed continue.

Entering the house, I immediately looked for Grandma, wanting to tell her all this. Grandma was cooking in the kitchen, I helped her cook.

While chopping onions, I wrote, "Sir, I was married to Firo."

"Haaa?" My grandmother was surprised to read my writing.

I wrote again, "But I haven't answered."

Grandma smiled as she said, "You're an adult, Grandma's advice get married. Firo is a good person, grandma believes she can be a husband who can accept you for who you are and can protect you."

"I'm still worried, I want to solve my father's problems first, after that I will think about getting married" I wrote.

Grandma held my shoulder, then said, "If you're still worried, don't force it. Leave the kitchen work, take a shower first."

I nodded, then walked towards the bathroom. While in the bathroom, I soak while thinking about Firo's words. I actually love Firo, but why is it still stuck in my heart Erik's name.

After the shower, I ate with my grandmother. Grandma advised me a lot about marriage. Since then I have understood that marriage is not as easy as I imagined.

The next day, I was ready and excited to work. All the employees have arrived, the restaurant opens early. One by one, visitors began to arrive. Now this restaurant has known a lot.

Although it is famous and many customers, I still insist to chefs and waiters to keep prioritizing the quality, both food and service.

"Good morning" said one visitor from a distance to me.

I noticed, it turns out that the visitor was Jeri, Mr. Roy's son. I've been so lazy to serve him, but he always comes looking for my attention. Before long Jeri sat in the guest chair, the waiter came to me.

"Mom, there's a customer who wants to talk to, Mom. He said there was something very important" said the waiter.

My hands clenched and pointed at his face. "Don't be fierce, I have information that may be very important to you" continued Jeri.

I wrote, "What?"

"But, before I say it, I want to apologize for all my childish treatment yesterday." Jeri smiles.

I was a little surprised, now Jeri is really different from before. His speech was very polite and his tone was very gentle.

Jeri continued, "I have evidence of my father's crimes against your father. Actually I'm just my father's adopted son, now that I've dumped him, treated harshly, last night I recorded all of my father's conversations with people who had damaged your father's car before the accident happened."

Not finished Jeri told me, his hand I immediately pulled. I had Jeri chatting in my private room.

I wrote, "Continue your story!"

"So, my father had been planning everything for a long time, I heard that he deliberately closed all the painting exhibition agencies for Mr. Hendri's son. Deliberately seizing his wife just because of sheer lust. I really hate you" said Jeri.

"Where's the tape?" ask me with writing.

"Please, I'm not finished telling you. I got information the next day he had planned the closure of this restaurant, the restaurant permit would be revoked. You know my dad can do a lot of things because his friends are influential people."

Hearing the plan, I was furious, my hands clenched tightly.

Jeri continued, "But don't worry about the closing of the restaurant being cancelled, as I threatened to reveal all the secrets. Dad was so angry with me that I was slapped and stuffed in the room" Jeri said.

I wrote, "You better give me proof of the tape."

"I said patiently, I ran away with a lot of money. Actually, you've done a lot for me, but I don't want you to fall any deeper."

I kicked down the table, gesturing for the tape.

"OK.. okay, just get to the point, if you want the tape, you have to marry me. I promise I will always love you and be a good husband to you" Jeri said, holding my hand.

I immediately let go of her hand, my eyes glaring towards Jeri's face. The way is really a village.

"Think carefully, I'm waiting for your answer. After marrying me everything your father has will definitely come back. Your painting career will shine again, too, I'll say goodbye." Jeri left the room.

My anger was unbearable, I didn't imagine having a husband like her. Tears dripped down profusely, eager to beat him to satisfaction.

Not long after Jeri left, Firo walked into my private room. "Why crying? What insolent fuck did that jerk say?" firo's tone was very loud.

I just shook my head, then I told Firo to get out of my room. "Tell me, I beat that guy up again!" firo.

Again with sign language I told him to come out. Firo out, my door locks tightly. Crying as much as I can, tears mixed with resentment. Confused what to do.

I really don't want to marry Jeri, but in my head the most important thing is dad. Yesterday Firo, now Jeri. I was also confused as to what she expected of me, I was just a mute woman. There are still many better women, compared to me.

Putting my forehead on the table, I kept crying and hoping for an angel to help me. Choosing to marry Jeri and be able to solve father problems or marry Firo? It's a very heavy choice.
