Abay was preparing in front of his closet mirror.
By using plain white shirts in padu padan with blazers and black pants and shoes canvas sneakers Abay look increasingly cool with a pompadour hairstyle that is so iconic.
Then Abay came out of the room and said goodbye to Mom.
"Mom, I went to Mayra's house, her father wanted to see me,"
"Are you really sure of your decision?"
"I'm sure Mom."
"But Son... What if Mayra's father insulted you, I don't want you to be insulted."
"Don't think of anything bad, just think of something good."
"Well son, then I can only pray for you, Whatever happens later, may it be best for all of us."
Abay nodded and kissed his mother's hand. Then he left home on his favorite motorcycle.
After a distance of about 2 kilometers, Abay stopped his motorbike. He opened his helmet and was surprised to see the luxurious house in white like a palace to make his confidence instantly shriveled.
Abay began to doubt his decision and revived his bike.
"Who are you looking for?" ask the security guard who saw Abay outside the gate of his master's house.
"E-e is this Mayra's house?"
"Who is it, who is it?"
"I..."
"Of course...." Mayra who just came out of her house immediately ran to welcome the arrival of Abay with a very happy face.
"Why leave it outside, why don't you tell him to come in?" mayra asked Mr. Parmin to his house security.
"E-e Sorry Miss, I..."
"Ah come on, come on Abay, I've been waiting for you."
Abay nodded and prepared to enter the motor.
"Sir Parmin, quickly open the gate."
"None right."
After Abay entered the motorbike, Mayra immediately grabbed Abay's hand and took him in.
It looks like Mom and Dad are sitting in the living room.
"Sit down." said Mayra.
Abay nodded her head at Mayra's father and mother.
Mayra who looked so happy immediately sat next to Abay.
"Get in your room" Dad said, to the point that Mayra was stunned to hear it.
"T-T But Dad..?"
"Dad said come in, I want to have a private conversation with Abay."
Mayra who was afraid that her father would ask questions and nemarahi Abay remained sitting motionless.
"Darling, Don't you trust Dad?"
"Of course not Dad."
"No?"
"E-e I mean, I believe in Dad."
"Then go into your room and don't come out before you call me." Mayra forcedly went to her room.
After Mayra's departure to her room, Abay increasingly felt tense because she had to face both parents alone.
What's more seeing the gaze of Mayra's father who is so sharp as a policeman who is interrogating his suspect.
"So you're Abay?"
"Everybody calls me that Om."
"Full name?"
"Athariz Bayhaqi"
"Alright, just get to the point, My daughter has told me everything about you, but I want to hear it directly from your mouth. Why would you marry my daughter if you didn't love her?"
Abay was stunned to hear Mayra's father's question, He really did not expect that Mayra would confess to his father if he did not love him.
"Can't you answer?"
"What is that answer?!" ask Ravindra who raised her tone.
Abay nodded his head again.
"Why are you silent? I'd like to hear directly from you, what's your main purpose for marrying my daughter?"
"S-s... Actually I'd love to continue my education,
But I don't have the wherewithal to go, 'cause Mayra's often offered to give up all my education and I've often turned it down, but Mayra hasn't given up, So I think there's no harm in accepting her offer, 'cause it's Mayra's will, it's not me who's asking let alone forcing her."
Ravindra fell silent at Abay's honest reply. Then take a long breath.
"I appreciate your courage in admitting your reasons for marrying my daughter,
There are no lies in this relationship.
Now I'm asking you one thing, even though you don't love her right now, but don't ever hurt my daughter."
"I'll try not to hurt her."
"I hope you don't disappoint us."
Abay nodded his head.
"Devika, get Mayra."
Devika nodded and went to call Mayra.
Not long after, Mayra approached her father with her tense face.
"Relax, there's nothing you need to worry about." Dad grabbed Mayra's hand to sit next to her.
"So... What's the good news?"
"Your wish will be fulfilled" said Dad, then kissed Mayra's head.
"Could Dad really?"
"Whatever to you, dear."
"Yeyy... Thank you Dad, I love Dad." Mayra was so happy to hug her father.
"Congratulations to you dear." said Mother spread out her hands.
"Thank you Mother." Mayra hugged her mother.
"Dad, Abay..." Mayra looked at the silent Abay with her blank look.
"Abay." said Dad.
"E-e.. Yes Om!"
"What are you thinking?"
"No Om."
"Well for now enough, once we finish your enrollment and tuition, we'll talk about marriage again."
"Okay, thank you."
"Darling, Mom and Dad will rest, please let me know if you want to talk first."
"All right, Dad."
Abay saw them climb the stairs to the top floor.
"Abay."
"Yes!" Abay flinched from his sight.
"What do you ask, did you scold you?"
"Nothing, just plain talking." Abay answered without seeing Mayra's face.
"Abay, I.."
"Mayra, it's the night I go home first." without waiting for Mayra to finish her speech, Abay immediately moved from her seat.
Mayra would not follow Abay out.
Without saying anything else, Abay put on his helmet and turned on his bike.
"Abay.." cried Mayra.
Abay came out of the gate without looking back.
Seriate...
