As per Jo's advice, Cassie decided this morning to talk to Dimas about his anxiety. Cassie took the opportunity when Romeo had left for work so that Romeo did not ask much.
Cassie feels peace, as soon as she meets Siska and Dimas. And as was the custom of the three of them, now they sat together in the living room while enjoying a light snack.
"How do you feel at home in a new home?" Siska asked as she rubbed the hair of her favorite child.
"No, mom.."
"Lho, why?" Tanya Dimas was suspicious.
"Because there's no Mom and Daddy." Cassie said spoiled.
"Geez Cass, you're married, but like a 5-year-old." Siska chuckles as Cassie hugs Dimas spoiledly. "Your husband can be jealous to see you hug every time with Dad." Siska.
"He won't be jealous, Mom." Cassie said sure.
Cassie unravels her embrace from Dimas. He had to talk to Dimas before it was too late. But where does Cassie start?
"Dad, can Cassie ask you something?"
"Yes, honey.. Ask what?" Dimas sipped his chamomile tea while looking at Cassie.
"Why did Dad choose Romeo to be Cassie's husband?"
"The answer is easy, because Romeo is the one who deserves to be with you." "You see for yourself, he's very attentive to you. He's also handsome and it's no shame to be brought in."
"Daaad... Cassie's serious." "Does Dad really believe in Romeo?"
"of course.. Dad was also very helpful with Romeo. You know, baby? Just one day at work, the results were so good." Dimas praised his son-in-law with pride.
"Dad didn't suspect there was a shrimp behind the bakwan?" Cassie tried to code her Dad.
"Dear Cassie, Dad knew Romeo's parents. So, there's no way she's like that." Dimas knows Cassie's worried about him. After marriage, her son grew up.
"Then Dad told me the origin of Romeo." Cassie Pinta.
Dimas took a deep breath. Inevitably he also had to tell about how the beginning of this matchmaking happened.
"Romeo is Daddy's friend's son. Dad's friend messages to help guide Romeo if he's dead. Unfortunately, Dad could not fulfill his request. Dad just met Romeo 2 this year."
"Lho, why did you marry Cassie?" sela Cassie doesn't accept.
"That's his name while diving drinking water."
"Daaaad.it doesn't make sense. Dad why didn't you tell me from the beginning?"
"Cassie. trust Daddy. Romeo is the best for you." Dimas stroked his son's back.
"But, Dad.. Romeo it.."
"Learn to love Romeo. Dad knows, it must be hard, but, we won't know what's going on ahead, right? Dad is no longer young. Dad could die at any time." Dimas explained in a lethargic voice. Yes, she certainly does not want if later she died and Cassie's life was messy because she did not have the right husband.
"Dad, don't talk like that." Cassie hugged Dimas again. He discouraged talking about Romeo because Dimas seemed so reliant on Romeo.
"Also, quickly give the grandson to Dad."
"If it works, will Cassie get a divorce?" Cassie tried to ask Dimas.
Dimas pinned Cassie's head.
"Why divorced? Dad told me, learn to love him. Love will grow over time." "After all, the basis for divorce is infidelity. You can't be careless to play dowry that way."
"Dad, his name is also asked. Dad just wants a successor to the family." said Cassie honestly.
"Cassie, Dad wants you to be happy too."
'Dad, if Dad knew I wasn't happy with Romeo.' Cassie's inner self.

Like yesterday, after work, Romeo went into Cassie's room. This time Cassie wasn't asleep and was watching a movie.
Romeo seizes the remote in Cassie's hands, then turns off the television Cassie is watching.
"What are you talking to Dad?" asked Romeo fiercely.
"What the hell? Going home angry is not clear." Cassie looked belligerent and did not care about Romeo.
"Cassie, I'm talking."
"I'm tired, I'm going to sleep."
"Cassie Sebastian!" Romeo held Cassie's chin in one hand, then turned Cassie's face so she could look at her. "I don't like your attitude like this."
"Me, ask me again, what are you talking about with Dad?"
"I didn't say anything" Cassie said without fear.
Romeo smiled cunningly. The woman in front of him was so upsetting. Romeo immediately kissed Cassie's lips violently.
Cassie's surprised. He pushed Romeo's body as hard as he could. But, it's of no use. Romeo was only finished when he was already exploring Cassie's lips.
"It's a punishment so you keep your mouth in front of Dad."
Cassie wiped her lips with the back of her hand. He cast a hateful look at Romeo.
"Till any time I'll hate you, Romeo Smith." cried Cassie.
"That's great. I won't love you either, miss." "And please use your brain. If you keep complaining to Dad, Dad can get stressed and he can get sick. Do you want your dear Daddy to be sick because you want a divorce?"
"That's..." Cassie couldn't answer.
Romeo turned on the television again in Cassie's room. He left without saying much to the still-silent woman.
Arriving in his own room, Romeo immediately laid down on the bed. He loosened his tie while staring at the ceiling of the room.
He's angry at Cassie not for no reason. Last afternoon, Dimas recounted Cassie's complaints, including the words of Cassie who wanted to divorce after they had children. Fortunately, Romeo was able to convince his in-laws that Cassie had not been able to accept him fully.
"Cassie is anti-mainstream" Romeo told himself. Actually, Romeo didn't want to kiss Cassie forcibly. He did so that Cassie would not talk much more to Dimas, at least until Dimas transferred his position to Romeo.
