DECLANS

"Ware.gawat.gawat! Die me!" this woman in front of me named Daphne was unceasingly walking around and around biting her fingers.

After the ruckus incident at the wedding, Daphne rattled me out of there. He took me to the city park on his car, which he also drove himself.

Can't bear to see it pacing indistinctly, I reprimanded it. "Can you just shut up and sit quietly? I'm dizzy to see you swirling around like that!"

The woman turned around, turned to me and turned her gaze. "It's all because of you!" jolt it out loud. His hand pointed towards me.

"Why did you accept my Papi's invitation to come home? You should just refuse!" said whining.

I did not take the blame, suddenly got up from the park bench where I was sitting and nagged back. "How can you say it's my fault? You started it yourself! Confessing I have a boyfriend, then casually dragging me into the abyss of your troubles!"

"That's because of force! The situation was urgent and I had no other choice," he argued back. "Suppose it's a reply because I've helped you out of my cousin's scorn!"

This woman is manipulative. Here I am the victim. But he cornered me, as if I was the only one at fault. Even though he himself participated in the mastermind of this problem.

"Ohh.so you started the calculation? Look, I wasn't expecting your help at all! I don't need to be pitied. Whether I'm humiliated by your cousin or not, it won't do me any good."

Daphne's cousin is a bitch. But who told him to be a bad luck hero by helping me? I was even silent when my whole body was doused by a drink of orange juice and also a plate of pasta.

"It's good that I agree with your ridiculous statement. If I told you I wasn't your girlfriend, I guarantee you 100 percent you'd be ashamed many times over!" ocehku again while sitting back.

Daphne closed her eyes while taking a deep breath and exhaled slowly. His two hands were raised to massage his temple.

"Okayy.." said this time with a calm tone of voice. Daphne walked over and sat herself next to me. "I'm sorry for the mess I've done."

The mood changed quietly. I glanced to the side and saw Daphne's two teary eyes. This woman seemed to want to cry but was held back.

"I'm sorry for being so indecisive with you. I'm sorry for presumptuously claiming you as my lover."

A sincere apology I can feel from him.

"I'm.I'm just frustrated." he said softly.

I tilted my body so we could face each other. "Frusted why?" I am beginning to be interested in hearing her story.

"My family. It was Grandpa and Grandma who frustrated me. They always pressured me to get married. At 25 years old now, I'm the only one who doesn't have a partner in our family's lineage."

"Anyone who does not want to get married or has not been able to get a mate?" many confused.

"You must be mocking me too, right? Tells me I'm not practicing and a spinster just like my other brothers?" the response was so sniffy.

I breathed a rough breath. "It's very sensitive of you! Who wants to make fun of you? I'm not saying that, you're assuming yourself!"

"Hmm.iya sorry." Daphne was shaking her lips. "I also want to get married. Not through matchmaking, but purely by choice. I want to tie a sacred promise with a sincere man who loves me for who I am." she said.

"So during the event, there was a man named William Anthony who came to me. Grandpa said that William would be betrothed to me. Frankly Grandpa told me and William to get married."

Wow...this woman is getting married to William? Was her family not wrong to match her to an immoral man like William?

I can say that because I know how William's circle is out there. It's no secret that he's a hobby of going to clubs and partying with wild girls. You could say he was a playboy.

Not to mention that he likes to spend money and waste money on things that are not important so that the Anthony family company is almost on the verge of bankruptcy.

"Then..what's your answer? You want to take it?"

"Of course I don't want to. William is an arrogant and narcissistic man. Even though I only met once and talked for a while, I can already conclude that I am no match for him" said Daphne.

Thankfully. I don't have to bother telling him. By himself he had realized that William Anthony was a red flag man.

Indeed, both me and Daphne have the same vision. Both want to marry people who are truly loyal, sincere, and do not look at the material.

"Hey, have you ever found a man of your dreams who fits your criteria ?" ask again.

My eyes widened in shock and my soul was dumbfounded. Is this serious? Women who look like Daphne only ever dated once? I have to admit, Daphne is actually a beautiful woman.

Daphne's body is so nice and sleek, her height is proportional, her dress style is fashionable, she also has a friendly and kind nature regardless of the drama that just happened. For that I was a little surprised when I knew the fact that the men out there rarely approached him.

Out of curiosity, I then asked her again carefully. "Don't be offended, but why do men rarely approach you? Is it because you're an introvert?"

"I'm not an introvert. They're the only ones who don't want me." Daphne smiled wryly.

"It's like my cousin Ashlyn said, if I don't do it. Every time I get close to a man, I get hurt. Some cheated, some suddenly disappeared. Maybe I'm not that attractive in their eyes," he replied lethargic.

Suddenly there was a bad feeling implied in my mind. Why I feel sorry for him. His life must have been heavy.

Just like me who was always forced to get married by Mommy and Daddy. But the difference was that I never felt as depressed as Daphne felt. I can still enjoy and enjoy my life freely.

"Hey, don't feel inferior. It's not you who's unattractive. Those who are blind cannot see how special you are!" I said intentionally to encourage Daphne.

And it worked, he laughed.

"Haha.you're so funny. We also just got to know each other. How do you know I'm special?"

"My instincts are talking." I reply briefly.

Daphne turned her face for a while and looked back at me. "Anyways, about my parents' invitation. Don't force yourself to come. I don't care if you're not there."

"I promised your Papa that I would come. I can't deny it." abstain for me not to keep a covenant. That man being held is his talk.

"But Decs.if you come, then it's like suicide. My family could've cut you out!" Daphne held my wrist tight and begged me not to be there.

"Is your family that awful?"

"Yes.of course. There's a family gathering tomorrow. It's like an outbound. They'll definitely test you there."

"Testing how?" I'm getting curious.

"It's hard to explain, which is definitely heavy. I didn't mean to look down on you, but I'm sure you can't get through it. Especially with your job as a wedding waitress."

"Are you ashamed to have a waitress boyfriend like me?"

Daphne's face turned red instantly. It seems like he is nervous. "K-we're not really dating-!"

I interrupted, "Hey..you started it yourself..remember?!"

"It was unintentional!" reply jerking.

"Before I continue, just answer! Are you ashamed or not if we're dating?"

Daphne scratched the non-itchy shoots of her head. "Yy-yeah.not really. I have no problem with status. My family and I have two different personalities. We're not the same."

"In that case, we just formalize this relationship. We're gonna pretend we're going out in front of your family!" my sergeant.

"What's the point of pretending?" tanyanya confusion.

"You said you didn't like being set up. With me, your family will stop forcing you to marry a man you don't love."

"Then what about you? What's in it for you?"

"none. I just love a challenge. I'm interested in conquering your family's heart." I'm honest from the heart.

Daphne seemed to think for a moment then said, "Alright, I agree."
