The Smell of Love Melody
Chapter 198

The next morning Love, Melody, Wildan and his parents are gathered at the Hotel Restaurant. Father and Mother Raharjo saw the state of their son who looked very sad.

This happened a few years ago. Melodi breaks up with her first boyfriend. He was sent abroad.

"Ehm.. Wil, do you need Papa to meet his Father Love?" ask Mr. Raharjo.

"Sorry Om I cut. What's Om for? I'm afraid Ratna's father is even angry with Om. The proof yesterday his father looked very angry until he left us all" replied Love.

"Om is not afraid, Om also has a clear reason why Om used to fire him" replied Mr. Raharjo.

"Did Papa have been looking for evidence - other evidence at that time?" ask Wildan.

"For what Papa is looking for, the evidence is very clear" Pak Raharjo replied not feeling guilty.

He insisted that he had made the right decision by then.

"For what purpose does Papa keep traitors?" continued Mr. Raharjo.

Wildan understood the nature of his Papa. Her father is very strict if he does not like someone. His father used to behave like this to Ratna the first time.

"But Pa could have been his father Ratna in slander. The proof is that Papa himself said that Ratna's father was an honest man?" wildan.

"It was precisely that Papa became very disappointed, so Papa immediately fired him. Papa's been nice to him, and he's betrayed. You know Papa really hates people like that" continued Pak Raharjo.

"Aaaakhs.. " Wildan became even more upset.

"Have Wil not continued. Papa doesn't like seeing Ratna's family. Why do you also like to beg for the love of Ratna. Women in this world are still many, look for another" said Pak Raharjo upset.

"Pa.. sepet Ratna is already rare" Mama Wildan cut.

"But his family is Ma. His father was a traitor in Papa's office. It could be later his son will also behave like that to Wildan" said Papa Wildan.

"Pa, don't talk like that about Ratna" Wildan protested.

He got dizzy, the problem got heavier. Now her father is back to dislike Ratna because Ratna is the son of a former Papa employee who betrayed her.

"Yes said the fruit fell not far from the tree" replied Pak Raharjo.

"I'm sure Om, Ratna's not that kind of person" said Love.

"Already Ma, we better go home. We returned to Jakarta this morning. Papa's been lazy a long time here. You guys, too, we better go home together. Why are you here too. Ye? Want to persuade Ratna? Want to beg for Ratna's love? Why do you humble yourself? You are a successful man with good looks and wealth and power. There are many women out there who want to be your wife. Why should you humble yourself in front of the daughter of a former traitor" said Pak Raharjo upset.

"Astaghfirullah." muttered Love.

Love wants to defend Ratna but Melodi holds her back.

"We'd better come home too yank, let this matter be resolved Ratna and Wildan. We don't have to interfere. Even though you are Ratna's best friend, Ratna has made up her mind. He's an adult, he must know the best decision for his life" Melodi said.

Love cannot dispute the words of her husband. What Melody said is absolutely true. As a friend, you can only support and remind. The decision remains in their own hands.

Love can only pray for Ratna in the heart. Hopefully Ratna can be patient and stoic to undergo severe problems in her life at this time.

"Let's Wil ready - ready. You should also come home. Why are you alone here" urged Pak Raharjo.

With a heavy heart, Wildan finally obeyed the words of his father to return to Jakarta with his parents and friends.

Wildans

Rat, I'm back in Jakarta. I tried to call you but your phone is not active. I'm waiting for you in Jakarta. Let's talk about everything later when you're in Jakarta. Be careful when you return to Jakarta. I love you 🥰

Wildan turned off his phone before the plane took off. While Ratna who since last night continued to lock herself in the room and came out only when she wanted to go to the bathroom.

Ratna's eyes looked swollen from crying all night. No one in his entire family dared to greet him.

Mr. Ramlan brought a plate of breakfast trying to persuade his eldest daughter.

Tok..

"Mother open the door you want to talk" call Mr. Ramlan.

Shortly after, the door of the room opened. Ratna sat back on the bed. Mr. Ramlan entered and followed Ratna sitting beside him.

"Eat first Nduk, from last night you have not eaten" said Mr. Ramlan.

"I'm not hungry sir" Ratna refused.

"You'll be sick later" persuaded Mr. Ramlan.

Ratna silence.

"If you continue like this, you will meet Wildan and will ask him directly to marry you immediately. Mr. sincerely Nduk, not that you have told me yesterday. You just want you to be happy. Don't torture yourself like this" said Mr. Ramlan sadly.

Ratna looked at his father's face. He could not bear to see the face of his father like that. Ratna immediately grabbed the plate in Mr. Ramlan's hand.

"Eat ya" persuaded Mr. Ramlan in a gentle tone.

Ratna began to bribe one by one the food in the dish. Lovingly Mr. Ramlan rubbed gently the top of Ratna's head.

"If this is very heavy, tell Mr. Nduk. Whatever you do for your happiness. Although you have to step on your own self-esteem" said Mr. Ramlan.

Ratna shook her head. Her tears came back and flowed down her cheeks.

"No sir, this pain is only temporary, just a moment. It will also disappear. I just need time to heal my wounds. Don't feel guilty to me sir. I believe all is God's will. If Mas Wildan were my soul mate, we would get married one day. If he is not my soul mate, God will certainly keep us away, sooner or later" Ratna said.

Not only did Ratna feel pain, Mr. Ramlan himself also felt pain. His daughter must be very sad at the moment. But even so he is still trying hard

Ratna is an independent and very mature girl. He managed to be an example for his younger siblings. In addition to being smart, kind and caring, Ratna is also willing to sacrifice for the family.

It had been Ratna's trait that Mr. Ramlan had known so well since Ratna was a child. Mr. Ramlan took a deep breath.

"Father always pray for your happiness Nduk. Like you said just now. If Nak Wildan is not your soul mate, I really hope you will get a much better replacement than him. You just want you to be happy. Remember, you will still support you. Whatever your decision, you will accept. Now you eat yes, spend it all. You go out first" said Mr. Ramlan.

Before leaving, Mr. Ramlan kissed the top of his daughter's head. Ratna was crying while finishing the food inside the plate. Although suddenly his tongue was numb but without caring about it all Ratna swallowed everything unceremoniously. All for the sake of his Father's request.
