"After we finished the video call, I rushed to sleep, but someone instead of two female foxes came and forced their way in. My body was too tired to be alert when Meyra drugged me with a high dose until I fell asleep all day. If it wasn't Bagas who came to wake me up, I'd be building the next day."
Raya was stunned, hearing Elrick's words. If this is the reason, he is not wrong for not coming to the event. But still, their marriage was annulled and even her father hated Elrick so much.
"Darling, I can't possibly cancel our wedding. I love you so much, and I don't want to part with you" said Elrick, who moved next to Raya.
The girl just looked down. Don't know what to say. At once his anger and disappointment in Elrick disappeared. But wait, why did it have to be a month later when the man came to her?
As if understanding the contents of Kingdom's mind, Elrick immediately satisfied the girl's curiosity. "Why did I just come today, because I had to strategize to get your father's sympathy, so that the fierce man would let me marry his daughter again."
"Hey, that's my dad. Not polite!" he threw his face to the side. Elrick's laughter was heard in the room. After a month or so, the man was only able to laugh, and it was all thanks to the Kingdom.
"Yes, sorry. I don't mean to be disrespectful. Honey, you still want to accept me? marry me, and this time I make sure nothing else will stand in our way" she said, clasping Raya's hand.
For a moment Raya felt annoyed with him for being too in love with the man, proof that the man was only 20 minutes nearby, his heart was broken and willing to forgive the man.
Her tears spread. His nature came out. "Why are you crying, Ray? is something wrong with my words? I'm sorry, honey. I beg you not to cry" said Elrick cupping the girl's cheek with both hands, wiping with his fingers.
"Are you not leaving me again?" he said on his sobs.
"I swear. In this life, you are the only one I will love. I don't want anyone but you" he whispered stroking Raya's cheek. "Don't cry anymore baby, I feel more guilty about it..."
Raya nodded. His heart is so happy. The cure for his grief has arrived. A month of mourning, now Raya just wants to smile while listening to the pounding of her heart that works faster.
"Why did Elrick come? mas Elrick didn't miss me? he said it was a pity, but only now it appears," he said, raising his face. He wanted to satisfy his eyes looking at his heart lover who had disappeared.
"I have to make a plan. I knew it wouldn't be easy to get your father's approval. I realize I've done something bad and it's hard to forgive, but I'll prove that if I'm serious about marrying you, I'm gonna fight for our love, honey."
"What plan? if you still disagree?"
"I'll duel with your father."
"So, what the hell," he sambar with a sullen face.
"Hahahaha, I'm just kidding. I will marry you with the blessing of your father. I've bought a piece of land here, want me to build a hotel, so have a reason to approach your father."
"Hotel?" Raya remembers the hotel to be built at the intersection of four that he had just passed. "What's on the four-way?"
Elrick nodded, tidying up Raya's hair, tucking it behind the woman's ear. "Why should a hotel?" susul Raya's.
"So that it can absorb a lot of labor, it is enough to help the villagers. After all, behind the hotel will also be built tourist attractions, so there will definitely be many tourists visiting, and the village economy can be helped."
"I don't like you thinking about it. I just want me to be here" said Elrick stroking his girl's forehead. "If I have a place in the hearts of the people in this village, then automatically many will support me to get you, and be a consideration for your father."
Raya poked her lips, Elrick's thought made her amused. So the man wanted to buy this villager for his approach to his father?
"Don't mock dong."
"I'm not mocking, just a smile."
"Again, your father is also a village device, if the villagers praise me, then my efforts to approach you are easier. Ray, I want to build this village, as proof of my sincerity with you. I want everyone who used to insult you and look you in the eye to look down and respect you. I won't let anyone look you one eye."
"Mas Elrick knows where I'm being looked at with one eye?" said slowly. He was embarrassed, because the man's guess was right.
"Ray, the day after you came back here, I caught up with you. I live in Mr. Sutioso's house, observing the neighborhood you live in and also noting down anyone who likes to sneer at you so that they can one day avenge it all."
"What's? elrick's been here a month?"
Elrick nodded. Not only himself, Nani is also with him and Dipa who forced Nani to come along. But tomorrow the two will go home, because Elrick has already begun to show himself to Raya.
"Sutioso sir's house isn't empty?"
"And I bought it" sambar Elrick completes Raya's sentence.
"Till the whole thing, Mas?"
"I have to be total. For your sake, I'll do anything. So, I'm warning you not to try and walk away from me" she said, drawing a smile at the corner of her lips.
Fun to speak, the two did not hear footsteps coming in. Just as he was near them, Darma pulled the Elrick shirt that the man was automatically attracted to, dragged the man and threw him outside. "How dare you set foot in my house!" His face with a loud voice.
"Dad," cried Raya wanted to approach Elrick, but was swiftly pulled by Darma.
"Shut up! You still want to hook up with this jerk? I'm so disappointed in you! He doesn't deserve you, open your eyes, Ray. To him you're just a toy!"
"Om, please listen to my explanation. I know I was wrong. I beg you, I have a reason why I did not come that day, I did not mean intentionally not to come. I beg you, Om."
"I don't want to hear any of your reasons. Now you're out of this house. Don't you ever show yourself here again, and remember, stay away from my son!"
"Sorry, I can't. For me, Raya is everything. He's my life, I beg you, let us be together again, Om" Elrick said. Just this time he dropped his pride, begging someone for something, which he would usually get easily, just by relying on money and power, but not this time.
