Melisa put down the fruit plate she was holding. Suddenly he needed a glass of water to calm him down. Not long ago, her heart was delighted with the sweet words that Riland had said to her. But now Mona ruined everything. It's not that Melisa doesn't believe in Riland, it's just that it all happened so suddenly. Makes Melisa feel unsure.
Riland stared at Melisa from a distance, watching the girl's movements. He knew that Mona had just walked up to the girl and talked about something. After that Riland saw Melisa was drinking alone with an empty look in any direction. Riland let out a heavy sigh, believing Mona had said something bad to the girl he liked.
"Just a minute, Om," said Riland. He said goodbye to his relatives so he could come to Melisa who looks not okay.
"Ok, we'll connect again. Om happy with your dynamic way of thinking,"
Riland smiled at the relative "okay, 'Om" and left.
"Hi," said Riland, gently patting Melisa's shoulder until the girl was aghast, surprised by Riland's arrival.
"Are you ok ?" Riland asked as he lowered his head to get closer to looking at Melisa.
The girl also became misbehaved because of the distance Riland was too close to her. "I-I'm okay," said Melisa as she placed the empty glass in her hand.
"She said what to you ?" Ask Riland without saying anything.
"Who ?" Melisa asked back as if she did not understand.
"Mona" said Riland again. His jaw hardened when he said that. His dislike looks so obvious.
Getting questions like that makes Melisa's feelings mess up"Ga-not saying anything," he replied stammeringly.
Riland smiled meaningfully, "you're lying... No way Mona didn't say anything to you. I know exactly how he is" said Riland.
Compared to talking about what Mona said earlier, Melisa would rather ask about Riland's true feelings. Was his boss serious in his love statement ? Or it's all just a charade.
"May I ask you something?" Melisa asked as she looked into Riland's eyes deeply.
"Sure, you can ask me anything,"
Melisa swallowed her own saliva with great difficulty. Worry suddenly approached him. He thought, is now the right time for him to talk about his feelings for Riland. Or do you have to wait for the right time ? A time when they were alone, until the two could talk to each other seriously.
"Do you want me to do the same ?" Riland asked while linking her eyebrows together because Melisa was only silent fixated on where she stood.
"I-I want nanya...,"
"Hey you guys ! Wonderful mojok only ! You have to be able to hold yourself, Riland,"
"You're waiting in the park downstairs, let's hurry up !" He said again as he pulled Melisa's arm to follow her.
"Tan, I was talking to Melisa again," said Riland. He doesn't want to leave until Melisa has finished her question and also explained what Mona said earlier. Although Melisa looks fine, but Riland knows if actually the girl is in a state of chaotic heart.
But for Melisa, the arrival of the Aunt is a sign for her to postpone talks with Riland. "We should go to the park first. Not good, later in the thought of the mojok continue both," said Melisa reasoned.
"But we're not done talking, Mel," said Riland who did not want to leave.
"You can talk after the show is over !" Said the aunt mediating the two. And Riland could not refuse it because his aunt had dragged Melisa from before him.In the end, Riland followed the two even though he was actually reluctant.
Just like the aunt said earlier, everyone had gathered in the garden. In front of them stood Riland's younger sister and a man who had been accompanying him ever since. Not only the two of them, Riland's parents also stood not far from the two.
"Thank you for the arrival of all the brothers" said Riland's father.
"As we know, Raisa, her sister Riland will marry Aldi in the near future. And although Raisa will step over her sister, but Riland will follow later. Because today, Riland has brought his future wife to meet all of us," continued Riland's father made Melisa stunned when she heard it.
"Calm Mel, everything's gonna be fine. You just say yes. Next I set," whispered Riland. And Melisa just smelled her smile. He also could not deny it and make Riland embarrassed. Melisa still has the heart not to do it all.
"Actually we want Riland to get married first, but he and Melisa still have some things to do before the two of them step into the marriage stage,"
"But now we feel calm because Riland already has a wife," cut Riland's mom with a big smile.
Melisa fell silent, she felt a pain in her heart. Melisa thinks that what Mona said is true. Riland just used it so as not to be urged to marry by his family.
Melisa's face turned pale, while across there Mona smiled sinisterly looking at her.
Throughout the event, Melisa was no longer excited. His heart that was crazy because of the sweet words of Riland was gone. He felt empty and deceived.

"Mel, what did you want to ask ?" Riland asked when the event was over. The two were in the car to return to Riland's clothes.
"I'm not the nanya, because I already know the answer," Melisa said with a bland smile.
