The Smell of Love Melody
Chapter 196

Wildans

Rat, we need to talk. Both my parents have come to your city. It can't be all done this way.

Ratna

Yes, I want to tell you too.

Wildans

I picked ya up

Ratna

No need, let me go there. Where are we meeting?

Wildans

Outside, not at the hotel so it's better to talk.

Ratna

How about in the square?

Wildans

okay, eight and a half

Ratna

Yes Mas

After the prayer Maghrib Ratna said goodbye to his Father and Mother.

"Sir, Mom, Ratna come out first" Ratna said.

"Where are you going?" ask Mrs Ramlan.

"You go to the square" replied Ratna.

"Meet Wildan?" guess Mrs Ramlan.

Ratna nodded her head in doubt.

"Yes ma'am, everything should be clearly finished. It can't be over, her parents have come" replied Ratna.

Mr. Ramlan put his coffee glass on the table.

"You think well - well Nduk's the best decision for both of you. Remember the message, think about your happiness. Whatever your decision, you will be blessed as long as it makes you happy" said Mr. Ramlan.

"Yes sir, God willing Ratna will decide the best thing for Ratna's life and all of us" replied Ratna.

Before long we waited for an online taxi. Ratna immediately kissed her parents' hands to say goodbye. The car moved out of Ratna's old man's house towards Pati City square.

Arriving at the square Ratna square sat on a park bench that was indeed inside the square. Shortly after Ratna's phone rang, Ratna picked up the phone.

"Assalamu'alaikum Mas" said Ratna.

"Wa'alaikumsalam Rat, where are you?" ask Wildan.

"I was sitting in the square right in front of the Bank XXX building" replied Ratna.

"Okay wait, I'll be there" replied Wildan.

The phone disconnected, Ratna immediately saved her phone into a bag. He's staring at the clear sky tonight. He was so envious of tonight.

The sky was so bright full of stars. It's very different from how he feels tonight. Choose Wildan or family? Of course Ratna chose family.

Whatever love Ratna has for Wildan will not be able to break his love for his family. But the love of the family is able to decide his love for Wildan.

Although Ratna is very confused how to return all of Wildan's gifts to her family. But he has to decide everything. Ratna did not want to disappoint her Father.

Simply his father was disappointed in life because he was slandered and eventually fired by the owner of the company where he worked who was none other than his Papa Wildan. Ratna did not want her father to be disappointed again because she had to marry the son of the voters of the company where her father used to work.

Shortly afterwards from across the street Ratna saw Wildan gallantly walking. That guy is very handsome, not just tonight. That man was always handsome in Ratna's eyes.

The first man who was able to make his heart shake. The man who proposes to her very sweetly and asks her as his life companion is also the mother of his children later.

Ratna's tears fell slowly. His heart felt increasingly shaky looking at Wildan at this moment. But he was faced with a very difficult choice. And Ratna certainly did not want to disappoint her Father.

The sad face of his father this afternoon is still clearly imagined in his memory. Though his father's lips said, he would approve of Ratna's marriage to Wildan. But Ratna could see the sadness in her Father's eyes. Moreover, his father was crying this afternoon.

Ratna's heart ached to remember it. But the man in front of him there, is he strong to live the days ahead without the figure of the man again.

Bismillah.O Allah give me your guidance to decide the best decision for our relationship. Aamiins. The prayer of Ratna in the heart.

Wildan had arrived right in front of Ratna. Ratna looked into Ratna's eyes, there was a deep and distant sadness there.

"Have you waited a long time?" ask Wildan.

"Not yet, please sit down" said Ratna.

Wildan sat right next to Ratna. They are just as staring at the crowded streets along the plaza tonight. But the crowd could not change the feelings of their very lonely hearts.

"I just heard the Love story this afternoon after you and your family left" Wildan said.

Ratna lowered her head and was silent while squeezing her hands.

"I didn't even expect Papa himself, you're the son of the man who twenty years ago fired Papa. Papa first opened his subsidiary in Semarang. At that time, Papa's company was not as big as it is now. Still said pioneering. Papa remembers who your father is. A good and smart man. Your father was also a hardworking man. Until one day Papa got a report that your father embezzled project funds. Actually Papa does not believe in everything but your father can not show evidence - evidence that states that he is not the culprit. Therefore Papa fired your father that day" Wildan said.

Ratna's tears flowed to hear the story of her Father's life.

"Love Words, since then your father was stressed and very disappointed in life and finally ran to drink - booze and drunk - drunk every day" Wildan continued.

Ratna wiped away the tears on her cheeks.

"Yes Mas. You cannot prove that he is innocent because his friend is very clever to turn the facts around and slander the Father. Since then, my father has been heartbroken in life. He finally entered into a dark world filled with liquor, from then on our family turned three hundred and sixty degrees. The mother who fought for the family while the Father only drank and was angry - angry every time he came home" said Ratna.

"It's been a long time, Rat. How can we prove that your Papa is innocent? I can't blame my father for such an act either. Because Papa did find evidence - evidence of your father's misappropriation?" ask Wildan.

"Nothing needs to be proven that everything has passed. Nor did he demand his good name be restored. There is no meaning anymore" replied Ratna.

"What about our relationship? What should we do after we find out about our parents' past relationships that turned out to be so bad?" ask Wildan confused.

Ratna took a deep breath.

"I don't know what to do either. But one thing is for sure, I can't disappoint you again. Just one time you were disappointed in life and it has ruined our family. I don't want that to happen again in our family. Especially after you try hard to change everything for the better. He has worked hard to live a better life Mas, being the man, husband and parents who are responsible to us all his wives and children" Ratna replied.

Ratna smiled bitterly.

"Do you know what your father's message was to me?" ask Ratna.

Wildan looked at Ratna, Ratna's tears flowing down both of her cheeks.

"Father still resets our relationship. She cried and suppressed her disappointment for my happiness. But I as a child could not see the sick Father. I can't stand Mas" replied Ratna sobbing.

For a moment Ratna's words stopped because she had to catch her breath talking while crying.

"Sorry, I can't continue our relationship towards the future. I chose to withdraw" Ratna said.
