Maximilian Green, a man of mixed European-Asian blood, is now pensive on the balcony of his room accompanied by a glass of wine and a cigarette tucked between his index and middle fingers. He thought of his fate as determined by his grandfather from birth. How does he not think like that, even when his parents were still there, Max was arranged by his grandfather, Goufar.
Mr. Goufar himself determined where Max should go to school, live, hang out, and now his soul mate has been determined. Max felt that his life was really in the hands of his grandfather. In fact, now he was 28 years old, but until now he was still unable to rebel against the middle-aged man.
Why should I live a life like this? Wasn't it enough for Grandpa all this time that I did everything he wanted? Didn't grandfather feel that he had really taken my life? Even now Grandpa has also decided when I should get married and who will be my wife, inner Max while staring at the puff of smoke he just let out through his nose.
After returning home from the hospital, Max decided to follow Bryan's advice to express his opinion to his grandfather. He had that courage because he remembered the woman he helped while in the hospital. That afternoon she hopes her grandfather will call off her engagement until Max can find and approach the woman who has stolen her heart. However, after everything he said to his grandfather, he had to give up again because in reality Mr. Goufar told him to get married this weekend.
Max did know that he would be betrothed this weekend, but he did not expect that his speech this afternoon made the grandfather decide his marriage accelerated.
"Sh**!" the man was upset with himself. Yes, Max was upset that as much as he tried to escape his grandfather's restraints, he could never.
After spending nearly an hour and a half on the balcony, Max finally decided to go into the room. He chose to soak in the cold water to clear his mind again. Max won't be able to rest properly if his body doesn't feel relaxed. Although all this time he did have problems in his sleep, but at least he wanted to close his eyes comfortably. Yes, ever since both of his parents died in a plane crash, Max has been unable to enjoy a good night's sleep and beautiful dreams anymore.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
The warm rays of the sun began to greet this morning. Vioni had been awake since early this morning because the pain in his head did not subside even though he had taken the medicine prescribed by Doctor Bryan. Vioni did not understand her body which lately felt very tired. Though he was sick and had to rest a lot, but his mind could not calm down because of the pressure exerted by his family constantly.
Like this morning, because yesterday Vioni did not meet Vanila, now his twin sister wants to visit there and he must be the person in charge as long as vanilla is there. While om and his aunt have to go abroad, take care of the business they will live with Mr. Goufar later.
Vioni immediately approached om and his aunt who was sitting in the dining room. Actually she had no appetite for breakfast this morning, but since this was the last chance to meet them before Vanila came, Vioni would try to stop her sister before visiting. He doesn't want to have to look after Vanila while he's not well.
"Om, Auntie ..," said Vioni to a couple sitting on the dining table chair.
"Hmmm, hurry up and have breakfast! Your sister is coming soon, take good care of her goodbye here with you!" marvel's message to his nephew.
"A–what? Why is it so early in the morning?" asked Vioni who was surprised at his uncle's words.
"What do you mean by why, Vio?" resa asked his nephew who seemed to mind if Vanila came there.
Marvel immediately stopped his wife who wanted to find their nephew. "Darling!"
"But–"
"I don't like to be argued!" marvel warned Resa to stop her words.
"Yes. It's good, but right now I'm not feeling well, Om. I ... I'm afraid I can't pay attention to Vanila later," said Vioni who immediately got a sharp gaze from Resa.
"Do you hate your own sister, Vio?" ask the woman.
"That's not true, Auntie. I don't hate him. I just want to rest in peace" explained Vioni who refuted her tantalizing accusations. Although Vioni does not like Vanila, but he does not hate his twin sister.
"What do you mean Vanilla won't calm you down?"
"I–"
"Vio, listen!" Marvel spoke up. "Vanila very rarely comes here and stays here. Don't you want to treat your sister right? If you do not feel well, take medicine, what is the difficulty? You can go back with Vanila!"
Vioni's really cornered right now. In reality nothing has changed even though he has tried to express his wishes, Vanila has always been a top priority for his extended family.
Just keep the vanilla you're thinking about. What am I in your eyes? ask Vioni in her heart. Again he could only babble inwardly without daring to say it directly. Akh, it's not actually brave, but rather it's just going to be a waste of energy because no one will listen to it.
"It's up to you if it's like that. What can I do besides nod and say all your words?" asked Vioni who was already furious. Without touching her breakfast, the girl got up and immediately went back into her room.
Marvel and Resa were quite surprised by his nephew this morning, not usually Vioni showed such an attitude.
"Darling, do you feel like there's something weird about that kid?" ask Marvel about his wife.
"Yes, his attitude is getting annoying" said Resa who was upset with Vioni.
"Not that."
"Then what? There is nothing strange but his brazen attitude," said Resa, rewinding his plate because he had finished breakfast.
Marvel is silent. The man's gaze was directed at a plate of vegetable salad that became his nephew's breakfast menu. As Marvel recalled, the once-little Vioni did not like vegetables very much, but now the girl's breakfast menu was just vegetables with a little mayonnaise.
What really happened to Vioni? And ... His face was very pale. Is Vioni really not feeling well?
