Kai no longer thought about his pride as a man. His priority right now is to fight for what he wants.
The struggle is not easy. Where not only his pride will be at stake. But his dignity and worth were also questioned.
Struggling in the name of love is what now brings his steps to an address he painstakingly obtained from one of the online sites that contains news about a famous heart specialist.
This is where he is tonight. By gathering all his courage to visit the home of Doctor Rudi Pradana.
"A big apology for my care came to see the Doctor. Let me introduce myself first. I was..." But his sentence was interrupted after someone suddenly came to interrupt him.
"Enough! You don't have to introduce yourself. No one wants to know you here." Riko comes from the middle room, joining Kai and Doctor Rudi. Who was talking at the door of the house.
"But I think your father needs to know who I am" Kai replied.
"You know each other? You know this guy Riko?" asked Doctor Rudi curiously.
Since arriving from City B, Riko has been acting like never before. If usually the man chooses to spend time by reading a book if not in practice. This time Riko prefers to lock herself in her room. A significant change since Riko knew Dara.
Not even infrequently, his face looked gloomy. Inviting questions in the mind of the father.
The wedding will be tomorrow. But Riko did not show her happy look.
"I'm Kai, Doctor. I was..."
"Enough!" sela Riko was quick for both times. Before Kai reveals his relationship with Dara. He did not want his father to come back prejudiced about Dara.
"What is this, Riko? Why can't you know who this guy is? What are you hiding from Papa?" Dr. Rudi was getting curious. He saw Riko and Kai alternating with eyebrows linked together.
"Already, Pa. This guy is not important. Let's go in." Riko pulls Doctor Rudi's arm, invites him inside the house.
But his steps must stop when Kai finally reveals about his love affair with Dara.
"I'm Dara's girlfriend, Doctor. I'm Ken's father."
Suddenly Doctor Rudi threw Riko's hand from his arm. Then he turned to look at Kai with a question mark.
"Me and Dara still love each other, Doctor. My purpose in coming here was to ask the understanding and willingness of the Doctor to cancel the marriage. Dara does not love the Doctor's son. Dara just loves me. Please cancel the wedding. Because if you don't, Dara will suffer, instead" Kai said no matter what kind of response Dr. Rudi.
"What does that guy mean, Riko?" Dr. Rudi turned to look at Riko. Gave him a demanding look.
"Don't listen to that guy Pa. Let's go in." Riko didn't ask her father questions. Back he pulled the arm of the father, invited him to leave Kai who had finally been handled by the security guard of the house.
The security guards kicked Kai out, so Kai couldn't do more. He realized that he was just a guest in the house.
"Riko, explain first everything is the same Papa," asked Dr. Rudi as they arrived in the living room.
"Explain what Pa? Papa doesn't have to beat that guy up. That person is just a stressed person. He is obsessed with Dara. But Dara always refused. So, what else do I have to explain?" Riko started to give up. It is only because of love that it begins to change.
"Please don't lie to Papa. Papa really wants to see you get married. But with the woman who really loves you. The home will not run properly if there is no love in it. Marriage needs to love each other. Like a pair of legs walking. Will stop in the middle of the road due to fatigue. It may never even arrive. Like that is home too. You gotit?"
Doctor Rudi unsheathed his sharp gaze, making Riko look down. Dare not to return his father's gaze. That look and sentence felt as if it was nailing him on the spot. So that when Doctor Rudi left him alone, he was still glued to his place. Digesting deeply in sentence after sentence thrown by Doctor Rudi to offend him.
What should he do to make Dara happy?
Should he just let it go?
How does it feel to sacrifice for love? Does it feel like it will hurt when he is betrayed?
I don't know. He really doesn't know. After all, sacrificing is hard. Not everyone is willing to sacrifice. Including himself.

Dara was looking at Ken who was joking with Mama Maya in the living room. Although his gaze was fixed on Ken, but Kai's figure always overshadowed his mind.
Hopefully Kai can find the right solution to thwart a marriage that only counts hours. If not, his life is at stake.
But pity whack, if you remember Kai is struggling alone. While he just kept silent waiting for the destruction of his own life.
"Give it to Papa." Papa Yuda opened his right palm before his face. He is flinching confusion.
"Give me what?" tanyanya's confused. Since he arrived from City B, his father had shown him an unfriendly attitude. It makes him confused and wondering.
"Give your phone to Papa."
"What-does what?" Obviously Dara didn't want to give her the phone. It's the only thing that's been her communication device with Kai. If he gave it to his papa, how would he be able to inform each other with Kai.
He was thinking of escaping the marriage. When things are really precarious. And no one can help.
Even God has closed his eyes. The miracle he hoped for was lost to nowhere.
"Don't ask too many questions. Just give!" Papa Yuda had already begun to dare to jerk his only daughter.
Dara had no choice but to surrender. Especially when he saw his papa for the first time to touch him like that. What else could he do but give up his cell phone.
He could only breathe a long breath staring after the departure of his father carrying with him his cellphone.
.

A scary day for Dara has arrived. Early in the morning he left with Mama Maya and Ken to the wedding building to get ready for the wedding procession that was held at once. After the wedding will be continued with the reception.
Dara sat down in front of the mirror. Looking at her reflection who is still in a state of plain face but has been wearing a white kebaya nan graceful. He was waiting for a MUA (Make Up Artist) who would polish his face.
"Mommy ..." Ken came straight to take a seat on his lap.
"Mommy, what's the show today?" asked Ken confusedly also curious.
There was no way he would tell the little boy about his marriage. The boy understood a little about marriage.
"Ooh ... Today's anniversary is Mommy and Daddy Ko," he said to avoid excessive questions.
"What's an anniversary?"
"That is ..."
"Oh yeah, Ken kangen Daddy. Daddy Ken where the hell is Mommy?" sela Ken before her Mommy gives her answer.
"Mommy doesn't know." He hopes Kai will come like a Riding Prince, who will take him away from this marriage. Suddenly his heart was filled with anxiety. Until sad joined. It feels so stifling to remember, in a few hours she will be someone else's wife.
But he still hoped God would be kind to him.
I hope that.
"In front, is there a commotion?" A MUA came while grazing a suitcase containing combat tools in scavenging windfall.
"Ruckus?" he cringed. Could it be Kai?
"But in front there is already Mr. Riko and some security guard who handle the commotion."
His heart grew restless and agitated. If it's Kai, it means Kai will really do reckless. Then what if the building security will instead take him to the police station for making a fuss at people's weddings.
Oh no!
This can't happen.
He dropped Ken off his lap. "Ken wait here. Mommy ahead first."
He was about to leave the room when Riko suddenly came. Made his intention go off for a moment. Especially when you see the look on Riko's face full of anger. Instantly he shakes. Because it was only the first time Riko showed such a terrible look.
"Where are you going?"
