"Two more weeks you and Jihan are engaged, yes, Lang."
Somehow Gilang must respond to this. It felt like all sorts of ways he did would not make his mother stop to do the matchmaking plan.
"Love will come slowly, Lang."
It was always like what Yunita said when Gilang said that his heart was not yet open to Jihan.
"Are you not going too fast, Ma?"
"It has to be fast if it's for good, Lang. One month after your fiancee gets married."
"Ma? Gilang is not a child anymore that everything Mama should arrange like this. Allow Gilang to choose who will be Gilang's companion later."
"Who is that? Is there another woman you'll make a wife for? If there is, bring it here tonight. That's the condition if you don't want to be betrothed to Jihan."
Gilang. Realized that he could not bring anyone for him to introduce to his parents as his future wife.
"Nothing, is it? So don't worry about Mama that."
Gilang looked at Anton. But Anton just smiled and as if to say, the choice of parents must be the best.
Micah's time was chosen for Gilang, actually it was also the best of his parents. It was just Gilang who wasted it all.
***
The news of the engagement between Gilang and Jihan has been heard by Belva who accidentally heard Darmawan talking to Anton over the phone.
"I'll come, Ton. Sure."
"Take your wife's son too, Wan. All holidays to Jakarta."
"Yes. I'll take my son and wife to witness Gilang and Jihan's engagement."
"alright. I await your arrival. It's been a while, yes, Wan. I still have to take care of some work. Good afternoon."
"good. Good afternoon."
Finished the phone with Anton, Darmawan immediately faced with his son who was looking at him sharply. "Why, Bel?" ask Darmawan without feeling that the news makes Belva upset.
"Why did Papa say? You don't realize what Papa's mistake is?"
"What's wrong, Bel?"
"Salah Papa tell my soul mate same Kak Gilang do not want. Now the person I like, I love wants to be engaged to someone else. Where to use the event to come there anyway. Very nice papa. Don't think how his son feels."
Darmawan and his wife Vita looked at each other after hearing Belva's long speech.
"You're a list of the first real colleges and schools, Bel. Don't think about marriage first" said Vita so gently. Trying to calm Belva down.
"Why indeed? Mama married Papa while she was in college, right? Another semester. Not too impatient."
Vita closed her eyes and exhaled slowly. His mistake did tell of his past, at what age he got married, then had Belva at nineteen.
It turned out that it made her son want to follow in his footsteps. If it's like this, Darmawan and Vita are made dizzy head.
It doesn't really matter who Belva is married to. Even if the age of prospective husband Jihan is far adrift.
But getting married at a young age is not easy if Belva the spoiled child who lived it.
"Belva sprained with Mama and Papa. No one understands my feelings. No Papa, Mama, even Kak Gilang himself. Everyone's bummering."
Belva ran up the stairs to the second floor. Where is his room. He even slammed the door when Belva closed it.
See? Belva is still unstable. I cannot control my own feelings. So what happens if Belva gets married now? Kasian is also the husband of Belva later. Having to face the conditions and weather of Belva's heart that is easy to change.
🌻🌻🌻
Belva was unable to stem her tears when she saw Gilang and Jihan in front of her exchanging rings.
His two eyes were able to look at Gilang. Not wanting to throw a glance, Belva wanted Gilang to see how painful it was for Belva for what Gilang was doing now.
Unable to stand everything in front of him, Belva stepped foot and left the hotel ballroom where Gilang and Jihan held an engagement.
Belva doesn't know about Jakarta. I don't know where Belva is going to be stepping at the moment.

"Silver One." Belva's voice rang out as he called Gilang.
"Bel, why? What's up?"
"Can't you come here? I'm scared."
Belva's sobs made Gilang feel worried.
"Where? Where are you, Bel?"
"I'm at hotel xxx, room number 438."
"Hotel?"
"I'm scared, Brother."
"I'm going there now."
Without waiting for long, Gilang immediately went to the place Belva had mentioned. He left some of Anton's clients who were still busy talking even though the time had shown twelve o'clock at night.
After twenty minutes of running the car, Gilang arrived at the hotel mentioned by Belva. Gilang immediately entered and went up to the floor where Belva's room was located.
"Bel.." call Gilang while knocking on Belva's door.
"Bel, this is Gilang," he called again because Belva never opened the door.
The door opened a few moments later. Appearing Belva with such a messy appearance. The hair that was originally pretty is already fussy. The dress she was wearing when she came to Gilang and Jihan's engagement event had been torn in some parts.
Gilang's premonition was very bad looking at Belva's current appearance.
Soon he hugged Belva's body which looked so frightened. He brought her back into her room and calmed Belva down until she was ready to tell him everything.

"I don't know who that guy is" Belva said blankly.
"I'm afraid Papa and Mama are angry. That's why I called Gilang. I'm sorry to bother you, brother. Broken heart made me stupid until I came to a place like that."
The guilt in Gilang's heart was so great. But from the beginning Gilang had rejected Belva. Belva shouldn't have expected him this deep.
"What should I do, brother? I'm afraid I'm pregnant. Just who am I to hold accountable for?"
"Why are you talking like that, Bel? Are you sure he did?"
"Sister can still ask like that after seeing his current appearance? What am I until all I say is nothing that Brother Gilang believes, huh?"
Belva is crying again. Rubbed his face violently.
"So don't know what it's like to be me now. I lost what I was supposed to give my husband. I have no pride as a woman anymore. Not to mention if I get pregnant, brother. I must be embarrassing Papa with Mama. Their only child is pregnant out of wedlock and doesn't know who the father is."
"I'll marry you, Bel."
Hearing Gilang's words, Belva stopped her crying. Then looked at Gilang with his sharp gaze. "Why is it now?" he said it was full of emphasis.
"Why is it now that you want to marry me after I lose everything? Where did you go when I said I liked you? Why did you choose another woman to be your fiancee? Why, Brother? Is it because I've lost everything the new brother said about this? If you do it just because you're kasian, you better not. I'd rather live in shame than live with a man who never expected me to be in his life."
"That's not what I mean, Bel. I_"
"Go."
Gilang's words came to a halt as Belva chased him away.
"Did you?"
"I said go. Thank you for coming for such a disgusting person like me."
Gilang forced his feet out of Belva's room.
But Gilang didn't just leave Belva. Gilang booked a room close to Belva's room to keep an eye on Belva.
