"I made a fatal mistake so I didn't dare go home." Anna answered while looking down.
"Error?" Kiandra's father rounded both eyes.
Anna nodded without daring to look at the interlocutor. "...I removed the family heritage gem." he continued.
The old man flinched, making Anna's guts faintly. He glanced at Kiandra for an opinion, and the man nodded his head as a sign of approval.
"Not only eliminate the gem that became one of the family symbols. I was also the cause of my Father abdicating from the throne and my Brother was forced to relinquish the title of Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Kelantan." Anna explained.
The old man seemed to think for a moment. "And you.. ran away just like that?" tanyakanya.
Anna gulped her hard-earned saliva. Then nodded slowly.
Kiandra's father looked at each other with his son, then refocused on the woman sitting in front of him. "But, because Kian wants to marry you, then we will propose you first to Kelantan lo" he said in a half-joking tone.
Anna nodded and looked at Kiandra's father who had already noticed her first.
"We'll take you home to meet your parents" he added.
"A, ta, but... I'm..." Anna started to panic. He turned to Kiandra for help. However, the man was even chin-backed and pretended not to see.
"I once met Yang Di Pertuan Agong Ismail Petra with his wife." Kiandra's father told her to dilute the woman's tension.
Of course I know.
Anna said inwardly, taking her eyes off the white-haired man.
"And I don't think he could have had the heart to throw his daughter back for a mistake that might have been a little fatal." Kiandra's father fused his thumb and forefinger together, as if to illustrate how small the problem was.
"But, Mister..." Anna hesitated. "Other of the things I mentioned. I've also put my family to shame, with many of my nude photos and videos spread across the Kingdom's website." he bit his lower lip, then looked down deep.
Kiandra who also heard Anna's words immediately bought both eyes. But, with the father there, he should be able to refrain from asking things beyond his knowledge.
Anna herself had no choice but to be honest, because she did not want the Kiandra family who came to Kelantan to be embarrassed when she heard the matter.
However, instead of for the sake of the Kiandra Family, Anna was resigned if the father of the man did not give his blessing, what else with his condition that had slept with his son.
"When did it happen ?" unexpectedly Kiandra's father just wanted to know.
Anna raised her face. " Se, about three years ago." she answered floating.
"Have it been handled?" he asked back.
Anna nodded while biting her lower lip, making Kiandra's forehead more wrinkled because she did not like the ugly habits of the woman sitting next to her.
"Then that's it." he said casually.
Anna looked in wonder.
Kiandra's father leaned her back to get a closer look at her son-in-law. "That happened, then what?" he asked a question that Anna found strange.
For a moment it became quiet without anyone talking.
"You can't keep looking at the past." The man who still looked handsome at eighty years old smiled. "Step forward, leave behind everything that has happened." he gave advice.
Anna was so stunned that she did not blink.
"Go home." he suggested. "I'm sure your family's happiness when you see you coming home is far greater than the anger or disappointment you used to be."
There was a warm feeling that spread, when Anna heard the words of Kiandra's father who was accompanied by the smile. Honestly he never thought so, because all he had in mind was shame and guilt. Or maybe afraid, so he chose to live alone in the land of people.
Suddenly the faces of her loved ones filled the mind, leaving Anna bowed with a feeling of uneasiness.
"Kian, how are you?" ignoring Anna who was still daydreaming, she turned to her son who had frowned while raising one leg.
"How what?" kiandra ketus. "Obviously, I don't care about anything that happened in her past." she saw Anna with her eyes on her.
"Well, so!" The old man clapped both hands, as if he had just finished a big case.
Although the response of the number one person in the Marthadinata Family seemed ordinary, but it could not immediately throw anger in each other's hearts.
"Fastly, after I got my permission from Mom." Kiandra answered, lowering one leg.
Looks like Daddy really doesn't matter. Or.. lest Daddy already know and just test us?
look at Kiandra in the heart.
Things that go too easily sometimes even make suspicious. However, he should not have to think so, if only he knew how much the father was worried when he heard skewed rumors about him.
"Lho?" Suddenly the mother was standing in the doorway with a tray of coffee that was still blowing smoke.
At once all who were in the room looked towards the seventy-year-old woman.
"Tumben gathered here?" he said while putting a coffee glass on the table.
"Thank you." Kiandra's father looked and smiled at the wife.
The woman with her long hair in the loop smiled back, rubbing her husband's shoulders.
The friendly scene no doubt made Kiandra and Anna who were sitting in front of them look at each other without a sound.
"Your son asked for permission to marry" the father told him.
Both of the women's eyes immediately widened. "Really?" he turned to Kiandra.
"Yes, ma'am." she replied, hiding her shame. "I want to ask Mom's permission to..."
Kiandra did not continue her sentence, when she saw the look of the mother was reddened and a moment later flood of tears.
"Thank God.... Thank goodness.." she shut her mouth to hold back the crying.
Her husband immediately got up from sitting down and calmed down. "Our prayers are answered." he whispered.
Kiandra never knew how much her parents hoped for her, before she saw firsthand how excited they were to hear she was finally getting married. Things may be trivial for others, but for both partners, they have waited so long.
The mother clasped Anna's hands together and thanked her many times, making the woman clamorous. However, the mother even added a kiss on her left right cheek.
Acceptance and blessing in can be so easily, as easy as turning both palms.
If all the parents like Father and Mother Kiandra, there would be more happy couples.
.
But there was one thing that stuck in Kiandra's heart, and that she revealed when she drove Anna back to the greenhouse.
"What's spreading your naked photos and videos is Suma Enrico Haziq?" he asks.
Anna who did not expect to get the question was shocked.
"Be, right." he confessed.
"Damn it!" objurgation.
"But please don't do anything to him." Anna begged.
"What?" the two Kiandra's eyebrows almost fused together.
"It turns out he lied to me all along. I need to know, why..."
"Why are you asking such unimportant questions?" cut Kiandra upset. "He's messed up your life. I was thinking of a way to destroy it, and you said that instead?" he doesn't think it out.
Anna biting the lower lip. He was still afraid, if the intonation of Kiandra's voice rose like this.
"Don't you still love her, huh?" accuse the man with a dead red face.
"Why do you talk like that?" Anna doesn't understand.
Kiandra looked away while rubbing her hair back. "Damn it!" he cursed a second time.
