In the hospital.
Aluna woke up, she sat her body on the back of the gurney. And Aluna's father looked at his daughter with a sad look. Because, he just learned his daughter's disease from the doctor. Then, the father approached Aluna and rubbed her head.
"I love him, Dad. I just want to be happy at my age" said Aluna.
Dad held his daughter, he was sick when he knew the disease that ended in death. Which father doesn't want to see his daughter happy in her life. Dad kissed Aluna's head. After that, he contacted his men.
"Find the young man, see if he has a problem? If there's any help for him to solve his problem, I want him to marry my daughter" the father told the phone.
Aluna who heard smiled. "Thank you, Dad." Aluna hugged her father who was still standing next to her.
Aluna's mother and her sister could not help but cry because they were very sad with Aluna's disease. A disease that will erase his memory, even slowly Aluna will not know who his family is.

Some people come to Iskhandar settlement, they look for information on the surrounding residents. Incidentally, some residents were discussing about where they lived.
"What if the news is true? Where are we gonna live? Let alone to find a new place to live, to eat only we are difficult," said the middle-aged man.
"Yes I'm also confused, my wife and children how?" other middle-aged men.
The man who had received information, that the bunk house in Iskhandar was indeed problematic.
"There's only one way our place doesn't get riled up."
"What?"
"We're gonna have to pay for these flats to replace their suspicions."
The conversation of the residents was heard again, so that the men of Aluna's father immediately met the boss because the information obtained was accurate.
***
"So that's the problem?" aluna's father asked his men.
"Yes, Sir. They asked for guarantees, if the flats were paid for by the residents then they would be safe and still live there. The thing is, they don't have any money, sir," said the man.
"Prepare the car, we're going there now," Aluna's father asked.
Aluna's father named Mohan was thinking in the car, he was still thinking about his son who was sick. As Aluna's request, she would support whatever her daughter wanted, including marrying her son to her chosen young man.
They were in the slums. Mohan looked around, the place was dirty, he would not be willing if his daughter lived in a place like this. Even the unpleasant smell was smelled in his smell. The citizens who saw his arrival were very curious, who were they? And what do they want to come here?
The citizens thought that they were the ones who were going to displace him. A middle-aged man ran over to meet the Village Chief there. Reporting that the bad people have come to the settlement and will expel the residents from their homes. The village head was provoked by the news, he immediately met the bad people told to him.
The Village Chief arrived at the bunk house, his breath stinged from running. And Mohan saw his coming, who was now standing right in front of him.
"Who would you dare to displace our house?" ask the village chief.
Mohan lowered his sunglasses, looking at the man in black from toe to head. "I want to meet the Village Chief here, there are things I want to talk about" Mohan replied.
"I'm the Village Chief here," the black man replied. "You can't kick us out of here, this is our home!" emphatically.
"It seems you misunderstand me, my arrival here actually wants to help you. I will pay this place so you don't get riled up, but there are conditions" Mohan said.
"Yes, I want a man named Iskhandar to marry my daughter."

Byrrs ...
A young man was drinking, and the drink was immediately sprayed upon hearing the news from one of his friends who came to him.
"What's? Married married?" ask Iskhandar. The news was heard by him.
"Yes, that man will help with our problems. Come, Iskhandar ... The only condition is to get married" said a man named Ahsam. "Think of the suffering of the citizens, do you not pity me? My wife is pregnant, if we get kicked out we'll live where?"
Iskhandar looked at Ahsam, the man was his friend. Even their homes are side by side.
"How's this? Marriage is not a joke" Iskhandar said. But, if he did not accept that condition, then there would be many casualties. But why should I get married? Iskhandar felt like selling himself because his marriage was valued with money. He did not know who would be his wife.
"Come ... If you agree, we'll meet the village chief. They are still talking about this matter" Ahsam asked.
Inevitably, Iskhandar also went with Ahsam and met a man who would help the residents so that their residence was not evicted.
"Isandar?" call the village chief.
Iskhandar approached.
Mohan saw Iskhandar's very simple appearance. Iskhandar was still wearing his work clothes.
"So he'll buy me and marry me to his daughter?" his inner. He became curious, what kind of girl would he marry? Lest the girl be deformed, or even ugly, he thought.
After speaking, Iskhandar finally agreed. He felt sorry for the citizens who would suffer after losing their homes, including himself. Because he had agreed, Iskhandar also went with Mohan to his house.
The house is already as well-decorated as possible, as Mohan is confident that his daughter will get married today.
Iskhandar was astonished to see the view, he knew very well the decking of the house.
"Master?" call him.
"Yes" replied Mohan.
"What is today ..."
"Yes, today is your wedding day" Mohan concluded.
Inside the house.
Aluna already looks beautiful, she is happy to finally be able to marry the man she loves. I could not believe that the man was willing to marry her. Aluna did not know that marriage was based on coercion.
The figure of Iskhandar appeared, he had changed his clothes because Mohan told him to. How surprised Iskhandar was to see who would be his wife.
"You!" Iskhandar rounded his eyes of disbelief. So this crazy woman is going to be his wife? Want to refuse was no longer able because Mohan had paid for his residence. Eventually, they got married. Aluna was very happy, without knowing that the man who married her did not love her in the least.
Iskhandar could not divorce his wife, unless Aluna herself asked for it. Mohan had warned Iskhandar not to hurt his daughter because Aluna was his favorite child. But Iskhandar did not care about it, even after marriage he would not live there. He would take his wife to live with him. Like it or not Aluna has to stay with her, because she does not love Aluna, nor does she dream.
He hoped this was just a dream, a nightmare that would never happen.
