"I didn't ask for your opinion, Kinara! The gods will, given the many services we have given to their families. I will force her to agree, to marry you through her Papah." Kemal said firmly.
"But I don't want Pah!" cry Kinara with the sound intonation getting higher.
"I told you, Papah didn't ask for your opinion. You've been friends with the gods from childhood, and you've even fallen in love with her. Papah is sure that as time goes on, you will be able to love him again. And papah only believes in Gods at this time."
"Bad bastard! egotistical! Papa only thinks about happiness himself, without thinking about the happiness of others.Papah is not aware, with papah taking decisions like this, papah not only takes away the happiness of one person, but many people. My happiness, Dion, God and Shakila are God's girlfriends." Kirana turned her body, running towards her room while crying back.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
"Eh, Mal, tumben nights here, anything important huh?" Sapa Reno, God's father who was a little surprised by the arrival of his best friend and former candidate of his besi.
"Yes, Ren. There's something important I want to tell you. Can I come in?" kemal.
"Oh, of course. Come on, come on in!" Reno shifted her body to the side, giving way to Kemal.
"Please sit down, Mal! what do you want to drink? let me have aunt bring you a drink." Reno asked, when Kemal had landed his body sitting on the couch. Then he stepped into the kitchen after Kemal mentioned, if he wanted to drink coffee.
After ordering the housekeeper to make coffee for him and Kemal, Reno again stepped into the living room to meet Kemal. Reno's feeling now was really uncomfortable, for some reason she felt like something unpleasant was going to happen.
Reno landed her body sitting right in front of Kemal, whose face looked disheveled.
"What's up, Mal? looks like you have a problem." asked Reno to the point.
Kemal moved his mouth muscles about to answer, but he undoed it as soon as he saw Reno's housekeeper coming with a tray filled with two cups of coffee on it.
"Emm, I need your help and I hope you don't turn it down, Ren." Kemal began to open his voice, which made Reno squint both eyes waiting for Kemal to finish his speech.
"I want to continue Kirana's match with your son God, because__"
"What Mal? didn't I hear wrong?" Reno gasped with her eyes puffed up, shocked to hear Kemal's request.
"You didn't hear wrong. I seriously want to get them both married this Saturday."
"But why? isn't Kirana getting married to Dion? what's this really about?" Reno can't just say it, because she doesn't understand what's going on.
Kemal finally told what had happened in detail, not reduced or added.
"But now everything is different Mal. God already has a woman he loves. I don't want to force my will on him just like that." Reno tries to give understanding.
"Oh, so you mean to refuse my request, Ren? you have to remember Ren, if it wasn't for my papah financing your life and sending you high school, you wouldn't be like this, you could be a famous lawyer, have your own company and be able to live a luxurious life. Don't you intend to return the favor, Ren?" hardik Kemal began to ignite emotions.
"I'm sorry, Mal instead I don't remember all the thoughts of your deceased papah, but this is a different situation Mal. You know for yourself our children do not love each other, and they both have loved ones. Please don't be selfish Mal! Be a wise parent. Do not let their marriage backfire for us later, because they are not happy with their marriage.If until their marriage is destroyed, we as parents will be haunted by a huge guilt.Do you want it?" Reno is still trying to give understanding by speaking at length without pause.
Kemal was struggling to digest Reno's speech. Deep down, he confirmed Reno's words. However, given the shame and good name that will be destroyed if Kirana's marriage is canceled, Kemal's ego comes back to the surface.
"I'm sure, although at first our children's marriage was without love, and forced, but over time, as time went on, seeds of love will appear and develop in their hearts.And I'm sure they will not hurt each other, because it is undeniable that they have been close since they were children." Kemal said with great confidence.
"But, Mal___" said Reno stopped in mid-air, as soon as Kemal, dropped himself on his knees at his feet.
"I beg Ren, I'm not asking you anything more. I only ask that you marry the Lord to Kirana, "the face of Kemal, looks very clear now. The face that usually looks firm and charismatic now looks very weak. He even willingly lowered himself by kneeling at Reno's feet.
"Mal, please stand up, Mal. Please don't do this." Reno tried to lift Kemal's body to stand up. However, Kemal hardened his body to not stand up.
Reno looks awfully wrong now. He's in a dilemma. On the one hand, he was eager to help Kemal, but on the other hand, he thought about the happiness of his son. Moreover, if he forced God to marry Kirana, it was certain that there would be the heart of a sick and broken woman. Who else would he be if not his son's lover whom he knew the daughter of Suseno Mahardika. And it can be ascertained that Seno will definitely not accept if his daughter
be hurt.
"You stand up first, Mal! please don't be like this. If I agree to your request, this is completely unfair to God and his lover. Please don't make me feel so wrong." Reno's face looks so frustrated
"I won't stand until you fulfill my request Ren. All this time I never asked you to return the favor. But this time, I had to ask for it. If you still refuse my request, you are truly an ungrateful person. One more thing, I'll never consider you my best friend again!" firmly Kemal with fiery eyes.
"I'm sorry Ren, I was forced to say words that hurt you. I was selfish. But I really can't afford it if my daughter's gonna be the subject of people's gossip."
Reno massaged her temple and rubbed her face violently. He's really worried now. He breathed long. "All right! I will persuade the Gods later." with a heavy heart Reno finally can no longer refuse Kemal's request.
"Thank you Ren! I assume you've agreed to it and I believe that you won't let me down." Kemal stood up and hugged Reno briefly.
"Then I say good!" Kemal turned his body, and left Reno who was sculpting.
