TAGGED WITH OM RICH
13. There's Still Time to Cancel.

After dinner is over. They all gathered in the living room.

This time the conversation got serious. Papa Jonathan as Richard's parents, officially expressed his intention to propose to Renatta to be the wife of the son.

Papa Roy accepted the proposal. However, there was an agreement between him and Richard. He cannot refuse.

“Ah, glad I will have a ghost.” Mama Luna's chirps. Gently grasping Renatta's hand.

Since then, he did not want to escape from Renatta. Like afraid that the girl would run away. At dinner, they sat side by side.

“Can I speak?” Tanya Renatta hesitated. Since then he just silently listened to papa Roy and papa Jonathan talk.

The girl felt the need to express her wishes, before the discussion about marriage was too far away.

Richard looked at Renatta fixedly. He knew what the girl was going to talk about. Must be about their secret marriage.

“What are you talking about, baby? Just talk. What kind of wedding concept do you want? Just say it, papa and mama are ready to make it happen.”

Mama Luna was very enthusiastic. There is no happier news than the marriage of the son.

Which parent is unhappy to hear that his four-headed son is getting married? Everything must be very happy.

Renatta's head shook slowly. Before speaking, the girl looked towards Richard. Coincidentally, the man was still staring at him.

“I want this wedding in secret.” Renatta's words made mama Luna and papa Jonathan dumbfounded.

“I mean, I just want this wedding to be attended by our family. There is no good show. Just a wedding vow and then lunch together. That's it, ma. I'm not asking for more.” Renatta then lowered his head.

Papa Jonathan looked at Renatta's face. It was like there was something behind the girl's request. He felt there was a compulsion behind all this.

Renatta's heart was pounding. In his heart he hoped that one of the Vijaya family would not approve and annul this marriage.

‘Ma. I hope mama gets angry, and cancels this wedding.’

Inner Renatta spoke to mama Luna.

The middle-aged woman was very enthusiastic. Who knows in this way, Mama Luna became bloodied, and canceled this marriage.

Mama Luna has not responded. She looked at her husband and Richard, who were sitting opposite her.

The two men of different ages nodded simultaneously.

“Ah. Mama understands. You must want an intimate wedding. We don't mind. Whatever it is. Just tell me, honey. About the wedding dress, the decorations, let mama and Anna take care of it. You just have to prepare yourself later.”

Renatta's shoulder squeezed at Mama Luna's reply. Everything is not what he wants.

“Good. Because we all have a deal. And Renatta had already expressed his wish. What if we do this wedding next week? After all, the event is only attended by family members. So, there is no need to prepare many things, right?” Papa Jonathan then argued.

Papa Roy asks for his wife's approval. Mama Dona just nodded her head.

“We're good, Jo. The kids agree too. Waiting moreover?” Papa Roy later.

Renatta is getting weaker. He has lost. Now, the girl must prepare herself and her heart to live with Richard.

****

“Rich, we need to talk. You have to explain to papa what all this means?” Papa Jonathan prevented the step of the son who was about to climb the stairs to his room.

They have now returned home, after both sides of the family agreed to Richard and Renatta's wedding day.

They all headed to the family room.

“Ask your son. What he did to Renatta so that the girl was forced to accept this marriage.”

“Forced? What do you mean papa? Where might Renatta be forced to marry Richard, pa.” Mama Luna did not understand what her husband meant. Being too enthusiastic made him not feel anything strange in Renatta.

Papa Jonathan sighed harshly. The old man dropped his ass on the couch. His wife and Johanna followed him.

He was just happy that his forty-year-old son decided to get married.

However, seeing the absence of a happy look on Renatta's face, makes papa Jonathan sure, if there is something behind all this.

Richard looked at the three people. He feels he is in a trial.

“I only helped the Setiawan family, pa. They are in financial crisis.” Obviously the man was short.

Next to Johanna's eyebrows raised to hear the brother's words. As anyone who knew about Richard and Renatta's story, the mature woman felt that the older brother was very smart to make excuses.

‘So that's how you asked Setiawan's family for help. Asking them to pretend to be broke, brother comes as a hero, then asks Renatta as his successor. Very classic reason.’ Inner Johanna chuckled.

“Then you ask their daughter for her payment?” Tukas papa Jonathan later.

“That's all I can do, pa.” Richard replied calmly.

“It is only fitting that papa sees the compulsion in the girl.” Papa Jonathan then got up. Not to go to the room, but to the main door.

“Eh, where are you going?” Mama Luna is chasing her husband.

“Mau ahead, ma. It's not too late for us to cancel this wedding.”

Mama Luna's eyes are perfectly rounded.

No. gabe. She had to prevent her husband. Richard and Renatta's marriage cannot be annulled.

“No. Papa can't go.” Mama Luna pulled her husband's arm forcefully.

“Ma. Papa can't let all this happen. We were best friends with Roy's family. Just for giving help, there is no need to forcefully ask their daughter as her payment.” Papa Jonathan tried to let go of his wife's hand.

The middle-aged man could not bear if Renatta married Richard because he was forced to.

“No, pa. There's nothing like it. Instead we are lucky, because our future daughter-in-law is not someone else. We've known her since the baby. We know the seedlings and the weights. So there's nothing to cancel.” Mama Luna took the husband back to the living room.

He asked Richard for help through his eye gesture.

The forty-year-old man approached his parents.

“I'm sorry, pa. I had to do this too. Because only by marrying Renatta am I responsible to the Setiawan.” family Richard said, lowering his head.

“I just asked papa to understand. I swore I'd look after Renatta for the rest of my life. And only in this way, I can keep my vows, pa.” Get that guy again.

Papa Jonathan was pensive to hear the son's words. Instantly, the middle-aged man softened. And according to the wife.

Seriate.
