The noise of broken glass was heard below, outside the front of the guest room, at 02:00 that morning. Rizal who had just fallen asleep enjoyed his sleep so disturbed by it.

Raffi he had just come home and reached home, he slammed his bottle towards the window of the house. Mr. Mamat tried to stop his actions but it was very difficult to overcome.

"Nadiaa..nadiaaa.." she cried, crying.

All the residents of the house woke up and rushed out, approaching the source of the noise. No exception Hendra also came out at Tania's thrust with his wheelchair, accompanied by a cough that seemed tight in his chest.

Raffi was lying on the porch of the house while delirious. Beside the nearby windows were many broken bottles splattered there and remnants of liquor.

Tania yelled and approached her worried about "Raffi stop baby.., let's get up from there later you get hit by a shard of bells boy!"

Hendra just shook his head concerned to see the condition of his first son became like that.

"Let's help Madam get young master Raffi to her room!" exclaiming Hendra told his servants who had been standing there.

"Ba-good Sir!" all in unison obey Hendra. And they helped carry Raffi to his room, Tania accompanied his son.

Rizal who had just come down from the top floor of his room noticed that. Passing Raffi who passed by. Raffi's eyes glanced at Rizal in an unconscious condition. Rizal was also concerned about the situation of his brother.

Hendra and Rizal looked at each other, both feeling the eternal.

That morning Tasia opened her phone before leaving for work, while waiting for her car invitation that Rizal had prepared first before her departure to Jakarta. So Tasia has someone take her home.

There were already a few Whatsapp messages from Rizal last night. Tasia smiled fluffily reading it. Then he replied to Rizal's message.

Morning baby.thank goodness you have arrived in Jakarta safely. Now I'm getting ready to go to the cafe. Don't forget your breakfast...

Then shortly the message was read by Rizal, and Rizal was typing to reply to Tasia's message again.

Yes, my dear. You also do not forget to eat breakfast first.gainst your health...muachh 😘.

The reply was quick, with the end of the word friendly kiss. Tasia until smiling blushed to read it. After a few minutes the car had arrived, and Irna outside the yard was sweeping, immediately calling Tasia who was still sitting reading a message from Rizal on the porch seat of the house. Tasia got up from her seat and immediately ran forward.

Then say goodbye to his mother who was also watering flowers in the yard.

"Tasia left first, ma'am." said Tasia while kissing the back of her mother's hand.

"Yes son, uh don't forget later in the afternoon please buy mom koyo same balm yes. mother's body feels sore, want to feel in massage the same Irna later" asked his mother.

"Yes, ma'am is ready.. Assalamu'alaikum. "sof Tasia. Then Tasia immediately boarded the car that was brought by her personal driver bang Mail.

"Wa'alaikumsalam. "reply with Mother and Irna.

"Come bang way." cried Tasia. Bang Mail grilled and greeted Irna and her mother, saying goodbye.

Bang Mail looked at Irna while waving her hand and smiling flirtatiously. Irna also returned her smile. Sulastri glanced at him while clearing his throat to surprise Irna, she so chuckled blushed after being caught by Sulastri that she was playing love with her personal driver Tasia.

After Rizal finished calling Tasia who was on the way to Cafe earlier in the car, he then opened the photo of Tasia who used to be with Rizal in the city of Yogyakarta, who went to tourist attractions alone. Which makes Rizal increasingly long for his cooperation with him.

Hendra suddenly appeared from behind the door of Rizal's room that was not closed to his son by stepping slowly using a stick in his hand.

"Dad.." said Rizal was surprised, immediately approached his father who had a little difficulty walking it. On his papa until sitting next to his mattress by Rizal. Rizal sat down next to Hendra.

"Who did you call?" asked Hendra curiously, who had accidentally stolen his son's conversation on the phone. Rizal looked at his own father's clumsy eyes, after being caught by him that Rizal had just called Tasia.

"Eemm.that's Rizal's lover in Yogyakarta Well." she answered frankly while scratching her head hair. His father was not too surprised to hear Rizal's confession because it was clear that Rizal called his darling on the phone.

"Dad can guess, son, a grown man like you can't be alone, I already know that you must also be secretly in a relationship with a woman..." his father said casually to respond to him. Then pat Rizal on the shoulder with his right hand.

Rizal looked at his father a little relieved, could it be a sign that his father was willing to accept his relationship with Tasia?

"So what do you think of Dad? will you take it?" rizal's question immediately leads to the point of hoping that the Father will reconsider his relationship and his father will cancel his betrothal with another woman.

"Rizal...I appreciate your relationship with that woman, but Father and Aunt Mira have been preparing for your future wife for a long time, before you were in a relationship with that woman. Just Dad and Aunt Mira didn't tell you first. Since we wanted to surprise you, I want you to get to know him more closely without any more awkwardness. We are very close to his family. Without you knowing the truth, you already know who it is. They are also always present at every important event of our family" said his father at length.

Rizal frowned after hearing his father's explanation there was a deep disappointment towards him, it turns out his father still desperate to match Rizal with the woman of his choice.

'Who's the choice woman that Dad meant' he thought

Rizal then lowered his head and rubbed his face and covered it with his own hands.

"Why Dad? why do you always force Rizal to follow your will! " his complaint. Hendra looked at his son's back a little pity.

"Father, just want you to get married and have children soon, and I also want you to just marry a woman who is clearly her origin. Didn't you see your brother Raffi? that's the result if one loves a woman whose origins are unclear, it will only harm you alone even the family becomes the most contaminated part!" hendra insists, worrying about Rizal's future as well.

"Dad doesn't know who Tasia is yet, she's different. I can't leave and let her down. Well, please Dad also consider our relationship. Trust Rizal, I will definitely like the girl." said Rizal explained solemnly.

"So her name is Tasia?" knitted his eyebrows. Rizal took a beard and widened his smile at Hendra.

"She's a special girl Dad... Do you know that Cafe Rizal Business in Yogyakarta? who else if not thanks to Tasia who helped Rizal become successful as he is today. And Rizal can finish college smoothly..." Rizal tries to make Hendra like Tasia as much as possible so that she wants to undo her intention to match her with another woman.

"really? it was amazing." muttered Hendra who again patted Rizal on the shoulder. "But it would be nice for you to also meet your candidate first, after that you just consider again to accept it or not, the decision is on yourself, the decision is on you, I can't force you if you want to be bad luck like Raffi!" he continued to remain steady with his will.

"Next week we celebrate your matchmaking event first, then you can talk again after" he said again. Then Hendra slowly stood up and left Rizal's room.

Rizal looked disappointed and sad at his father's back which slowly came out of his room. If he spoke out loud of his own will and refused his father's request, fearing that his pain would worsen. Rizal's heart was very upset and worried at that time, he really could not force his desire if it was like this. She saw the beautiful photo of Tasia on her phone while on her elus-elus with her right thumb.
