My husband is not my man of choice
Last Meeting

"Hi ... Have you been waiting a long time?" asked a man who was suddenly sitting next to Meylan.

Meylan shook his head slowly. His face was gloomy, like he was carrying a burden. She did not know how to tell this man who had been her lover for two years. Meylan loved this man and had imagined that he would live with him until he was old.

But destiny says something else. Meylan must marry Renan, the son of Mr. Kusuma and Mrs Kana, who has been instrumental in her life.

"Tell me, why is my lover moody like this? Is there a problem?" ask the man again.

It's been two years of courtship that has made her memorize Meylan's nature. If he stays like this, he must be in trouble.

The man's hand grabbed Meylan's face and put away the child's hair covering his cheek. He rubbed Mey's cheeks gently, showing how much he loved her.

"Say beautiful ... What's troubling your mind?" tanyanya gently.

Meylan continued to stare at the man beside him. He said nothing but his eyes began to tear up.

"What's wrong?" The man instantly pulled Meylan's body into his arms. Meylan's tears flowed unstoppably in the man's arms. Meylan wiped his tears and let go of his embrace.

"Gener ... " Meylan's voice is weak. He had not yet spoken his tears were back. Lovingly, Ivan wiped away the tears that had washed his lover's cheeks.

"You why hmmm ... ? You're not usually like this? Tell me ... " said Ivan softly as he continued to caress Meylan's cheek.

Ivan had already started to suspect that Meylan was not a whiny girl. It must be that the problem he was facing was so severe that it made him come to this.

"Gener ... " Mey tried to speak on the sidelines of her crying. "Sorry .... I have to end our relationship" he continued with tears that did not stop dripping.

Ivan laughed at the words that came out of Meylan's mouth.

"Whatchu mean? Are you fucking me? What's your problem until you have to end our relationship?"

"I mean. I'm getting married to Renan" Mey replied. He lowered his head as he could not stare at Ivan.

"What??? Whatchu mean???" Ivan's face changed instantly.

Meylan kept his head down. "Mr Kusuma and Mrs Kana came to me and asked me to marry her son."

"No way Mey!!! No way!!!"

"That's true ... " Meylan sobbing.

"Sorry .... I can't refuse it. I must return the favor for their kindness all this time. You know what they've done for me. They've financed my entire life. Pick me up from the orphanage and send me to the best boarding school. I can be like this because of them."

"But there are many other ways to return the favor. Don't have to marry her son!!!" Ivan's eyes began to red, between anger and almost crying.

"But that's all they ask of me ... I don't want Ivan either ... But I can't refuse it!"

"I ... I'll save up. I will return all the money they have spent for you! Or .. Or I can apply for a loan. I'll pay for everything if you don't marry their son." Renan's voice began to weigh and stammer.

"It is impossible ... You need money for your mother's treatment. Saving a lifetime would not be able to return their money, either" Meylan sobbed even more.

Ivan threw away his face. He did not want to look Meylan in the face.

"Ivan .. " call Meylan.

The man still threw away his face. He did not want to look at this woman he loved so much.

"Do you want her property so you want to marry her?!" ivan said as he turned his face away from Meylan.

"Iwane! You know I'm not that kind of woman." Meylan's voice grew louder with tears.

"Sorry ... Forgive Me ... I know you're not that kind of woman. I just can't accept this reality."

"See me ... Look to me. Look at me for the last time ... "

With a heavy heart Ivan turned towards Meylan. Their eyes meet. Eyes that are both red and wet.

"I'm sorry ... You want to, right? You know I never wanted this to happen."

Ivan shook his head. "I can't afford it."

"I have to go ... " Meylan stood up. "Goodbye ... I'm sure you can find your happiness without me."

Meylan walked slowly away from Ivan. The man could only look at his departure. He still can not accept the fact that his lover will marry another man.

"May ... !" Shouted Ivan.

Meylan stopped his steps. The man ran and hugged Meylan from behind.

"I'll make sure you're happy, then I'll find my own happiness" whispered Ivan.

Meylan's tears flowed more and more profusely at Ivan's words.

The wedding party is over. The guests have gone home to each other. Meylan lives with Lady Cana who is now her mother-in-law. While Mr. Kusuma is in the other room with Renan, his son.

"Meylan darling, anyway Mama nitip Renan same you. Mama is sure you can be a good wife to Renan" said Mrs Kana.

"Yes Aunty," Meylan replied nervously.

"Kok still calling Auntie? Call her Mama dong from now on," replied the woman kindly.

"Yes Ma ... "

"Indeed Renan's stubborn son can't be spoken to, but he's basically a good boy. He wasn't like that before. Mama thought maybe because she lived abroad for a long time then her nature began to change. Now he judges everything with money. She's ripe, if not forced like this she won't get married."

"If Renan doesn't like me how is Ma?" ask Meylan in doubt.

"He must like you. You're beautiful Mey, all men are attracted to you." Madam Kana looked at Meylan with a loving and amazed look.

Meylan does not understand why Mrs Kana and Mrs Kusuma chose her to be the wife of Renan, their only child. Meylan is an orphan. Even Meylan could live a decent life due to the mercy of the Kusuma family.

While out there are many women who are more beautiful and more worthy to make Renan couple, but why they choose Meylan.

"That's your Papa's done with Renan."

Lady Kana saw Mr. Kusuma walking over to them. Behind Mr. Kusuma walked the dashing and handsome man who was now Meylan's husband.

"Maylan ... Papa same mom said yes ... If you need anything, you can call your mom or dad. Do not hesitate," said the middle-aged man was friendly.

"Yes Pa ... "

"We're going home now Ma?" Madam Kana nodded.

"See you Meylan .... " Meylan nodded and smiled. "Renance ... Take good care of your wife!"

There was no answer nor change in expression from Renan's face. Without waiting for his parents to leave, Renan turned around and left them all behind. He did not even turn his head towards Meylan who was now officially his wife.
