Marriage is no joke in Renatta's life. He wanted to be like his parents, who had only tied one sacred promise in their lifetime.
For Renatta, getting married is not just living together, but must be able to unite two different thoughts in one place, which is called a household.
What disturbs Renatta's current mind, can he spend the rest of his life with Richard?
Not to mention Renatta's annoyance because the man was too annoying. But now his hatred is growing, because Richard asked him to be a means of debt redemption.
In Renatta's eyes, Richard was no different from a greedy rich man. Not to lose a bit.
“Papa Jo?”
Renatta's eyebrows intertwine as his phone vibrates, and the papa Jonathan's name appears on his screen.
The girl will just drive her car from the campus parking lot, after a day struggling with her books and laptop.
He quickly picked up the incoming call from his future father-in-law.
“Ya, pa?” He said when the phone had stuck to his ear.
“You're done with college? What's busy?”
Asked the middle-aged man from across the call.
“I'm free, pa. What was? Did something happen?”
Because papa Jonathan never contacted him, making Renatta curious.
“No. Papa just wants to talk to you. What if meet in— papa Jonathan mentions the name of a five-star restaurant.
“Alright, pa. See you there.”
Call ended. But Renatta did not leave immediately. He thought, there are things that papa Jonathan wanted to talk about until he asked him to meet both.
The girl did not want to be curious for longer. He then drove to the place said by Papa Jonathan.

“Pa.”
Renatta greeted the middle-aged man who had arrived earlier than himself.
“Sorry if I'm late.” Said the girl while sitting across from Papa Jonathan.
“No problem, dear. Papa also just came.” Papa Jonathan rubbed Renatta's hand on the table.
“We order something first. So that chatting is more relaxed.” Said later.
Renatta nodded his head.
They then prepare coffee and some snacks, because the same time had lunch.
“What's serious, pa?” Renatta's question began the conversation as they waited for the order to arrive.
I don't know since when, the girl doesn't remember. He used to call Richard's parents by calling papa and mama. Although Richard called the girl's parents as om and aunt.
Papa Jonathan sighed softly before he leaned his back on the back of the chair.
“Papa knows what happened between you. Marriage based on forced.” Said the six-headed old man.
By the age of the head of seven, papa Jonathan still looks dazzling, although white has dominated his hair.
Renatta bit his lower lip. He doesn't know what to answer. He and Richard never discussed the underlying cause of their marriage in front of the man's parents.
“P-papa know from where?” Ask timidly.
Before papa Jonathan could answer, the waiter came back to take their order.
“Richard has told papa everything. Papa felt, you were forced to accept this marriage. Therefore, papa asked him to speak honestly.” It was clearly the middle-aged man, who then sipped his coffee.
Renatta nodded his head in understanding.
“Darling, there are still a few days ahead of your wedding. If you want to cancel, just say so. Papa does not want you depressed, because you are forced to marry Rich.” Say that guy again.
Renatta did not answer. He seemed to think for a moment.
Is this a chance for her to cancel their marriage? There are people who support it. Isn't that a very good thing?
But what about the Setiawan family? Papa and mama's business, and brother who undo the intention to buy his dream car?
Should Renatta be egotized by thinking of himself?
“Re.”
The girl flinched as papa Jonathan again rubbed the back of his hand.
“Ya, pa?”
But Renatta shook his head.
“I want to marry om Rich, pa.”
Papa Jonathan's forehead is finely wrinkled.
“Are you afraid Rich canceled help and made your company go bankrupt?” Investigate the man.
“You must not be afraid, if Rich does not want to help you because you canceled this marriage, let papa help. Papa can do it. You don't have to sacrifice your happiness just to pay the debt. Think of your heart, dear.”
However, Renatta shook his head again.
“Not because of that, pa.” Answer the girl.
“Then?” Ask papa Jonathan.
“Because— Renatta sighed softly before continuing his words.
“Because I love om Rich.”
****
Her night.
Renatta was pensive on the balcony of the room. He recalled his conversation with Papa Jonathan.
A good opportunity had come, someone was backing him to step down. But the girl refused.
Choose to move forward, even if he himself is unsure.
Renatta tells Papa Jonathan that he loves Richard. And that's the truth.
Love is still in the heart of the girl, though hate is just as great. Richard is still the first and only man who can disturb his heart.
“You met papa today?”
Renatta flinched as a voice heard Richard a pair of hands twisting around his waist.
“Om.” The girl rebelled.
“What do you do? Someone will see. Let go of me.”
Richard, according to his hand, removed the entanglement, but locked the girl to the iron balcony.
“What are you guys talking about so have to meet outside?” Ask the man.
“What's om spying on me?” As far as Renatta.
“Papa says.” Richard replied calmly.
“He asked you to cancel this wedding? Don't expect that to happen, Re. As long as I live, you won't be able to undo it.” Later connections.
“Who wants to cancel it?” Renatta tried to push the man's body away.
Richard softened, and let Renatta into the room. The girl walked to the exit to drive Richard away.
But Renatta's eyes immediately smashed, because the door could not be in his absence.
“Om. Where's the door lock?” He came closer and shook Richard's body.
The man just shrugged his shoulders. And leisurely walk towards the bed.
“Come sleep. It's already night.” He also threw himself.
Renatta shook his head tightly. Then full of anger pulled Richard down. However, the man's body was so heavy, it made him not budge at all.
“Om. Someone will come. Don't be weird.” Angry the girl.
“It's already night. And everyone's asleep. You also sleep fast. I don't want you to be late for class tomorrow.” The man was looking for a comfortable position for her.
“Iya. I'll sleep after om out of here.”
Richard throbbing. “I'll be out tomorrow morning before the residents wake up. Hurry up, Re. I'm so tired today.”
Renatta was getting upset because the man pulled a blanket to cover his body.
Stripping her feet, the girl joined the bed.
“Basic old man sucks.”
