Chapter 48
Refusing Marriage 2
After a long time Hendra explained all the purposes why they were betrothed. Rizal finally understood, everything turned out to have been planned for them long ago without Rizal's own knowledge.
Rizal asks for permission to invite Lia to talk to him with four eyes. Before he decides it. Their parents went first to enjoy dinner together.
Lia followed Rizal behind her walking out towards the courtyard of the house, looking at Rizal's face that bore anger at her. Now he already knows that it turns out Lia has its own purpose, when Lia used to always try to approach him and pretend to help his Cafe business in Yogyakarta.
"So you've known all along, that we've been betrothed a long time? that means secretly you have also informed my family that I am building my Cafe business in Yogyakarta?" sahut with a high tone that shows his emotions Rizal to him.
"Why are you pretending in front of me first?" rizal asked still not believing it "Jawab my question Lia?" snapped it.
Lia's face looked extremely pale, snapped at Rizal like that. Because he did not think that Rizal could scold him that well.
"Yes, why? it's all I do because of you" he replied in self-defense. "I'm willing to do anything for you because I really love you..Rizal, I want you to marry me" he said again trying to dare himself reveal all, with his eyes slightly glazed.
"I'm sorry, Lia, but I can't marry you" she said. "And I will still reject this match"
Rizal immediately turned his face so that his gaze would not look towards Lia who was almost crying by him.
"Rizal..." Lia ambushed Rizal's hand and the other hand pulled his cheek and held him towards Lia's face, then peppered his lips forcibly Rizal. Rizal gasped in shock not believing Lia would dare to do that to him. Rizal spontaneously pushed Lia's body in front of him, so he was pushed and his back hit the wall of the fence fortress of his house Rizal.
"W-what are you doing?" his jolt. "Lia has told you many times, please understand.I never love you.Tasia is all I love.." Rizal said again.
Lia chuckled after hearing Rizal mention Tasia's name.
"You like that girl, do you want to know what she looks like?" snapper Lia. Rizal did not understand what he was saying. Suddenly Lia took out something in her bag, and took out a brown envelope and handed it to Rizal.
"Take this.you will know who Tasia really is, the woman you love so much!" sahut Lia was accompanied by his cynical smile. "After you see him do you still love him? think about it before it's too late" he added. Then Lia went back inside the house after giving the envelope, and left Rizal after his family had dinner.
Outside the balcony of his room, Raffi was watching the two of them. He quietly listened to all the conversations they were having in his yard.

Rizal is curious about the contents inside the brown envelope Lia gave him, then he opens it quickly.
He was surprised by his slow gulp, it turned out that there were some pictures of Tasia along with another man, and the man was Adrian.
One by one Rizal looked at the pictures carefully. Tasia who walked alone with Adrian in the city park, then sat alone in the garden chair, Tasia who was receiving a bouquet of flowers from Adrian, and then sat alone, take a picture of Tasia's sweet smiling face as she looks at the flower of the man's gift, then the last one of them who is looking at each other and giving each other a smile.
"What does this all mean?"
Rizal was stunned to see the pictures of his lover who was with other men, between believing and not believing in responding to this reality. His heart suddenly felt like it was pierced by a dagger. The feeling of disappointment now began to envelop his heart and mind. The photos were dropped on his own handrails and scattered in all directions and blown by the strong night wind.
Raffi on the balcony was still observing his brother who looked like the broken heart. The feeling he is experiencing now is the same when Raffi was betrayed by his lover also first. Raffi then immediately went down and approached his sister.
Rizal clenched his hands and then hit them against the wall of his own home fortress, the back of his fingers until bruised and bleeding.
"What are you doing? stopit!" raffi shouted surprisingly behind him, thus stopping the behavior of Rizal who was possessed by demons. He took one by one the photos that Rizal dropped earlier. Then he observed it well.
"You'd better meet him before you accuse him, which I see these pictures don't show at all that your girlfriend is having an affair" Raffi suddenly appears and says that to Rizal, as if he knew everything better. Maybe because he had more experience about the bitter sweetness of love than Rizal.
"But brother, how can I leave my job here?" worried about his job.
"Get my private plane, you'll get there faster." he suggested, then gave the pictures to his sister again.
Rizal just remembered that his brother had a private plane, the plane was his birthday gift from his father when he was 25 years old. Raffi is now 32 years old.
"Prepare I will take you there tonight, all I want to vacation also to the city of Yogyakarta" he said again, as he passed away to his room again.
Rizal was moved by the kindness of his brother, this midnight he will go to Yogyakarta.
"Thank you very much sis" he exclaimed happily changing expression.
...***...
After finishing the dinner Rizal delivered to everyone, he decided bravely.
"I'm sorry, Mom..Uncle Gusti and also Aunt Lisna.I do not love Lia. My relationship with Lia is only limited to brothers. I already love someone I want to marry immediately.." said Rizal frankly.
Everyone was surprised by Rizal's expression at the dining table.
"What did you say?" sahut Gusti by spreading his hand at the dining table, making all who saw was shocked and frightened. "Fuck with love! Listen, marriage doesn't have to always be based on love, it will come by itself!" gusti Strictly. Then he turned to Hendra throwing a look of disappointment at him. Hendra could only shut up and stroke his left chest, he did not expect that Rizal would refuse the request of his family.
"Stop sir! lower your voice. Remember Mr. Hendra is still sick." she advised Lisna, calming her husband down.
Lia lowered her head while clenching her hands on the dining table. His facial water is wet because his tears are pouring out, this time Rizal has really gone too far, he has humiliated and rejected the goodwill of his family.
