Gilang could only act without intending to fight back when Darmawan beat him all out.
His arrival which was judged incorrectly made Darmawan think that Gilang had desecrated his only daughter.
When Belva opened the door that Belva's parents thought was both, there was already Gilang who stood in front of the door with a box of breakfast that Gilang bought at the hotel restaurant.
At the same time, Belva's parents came and saw there was Gilang in front of Belva's room.
A face full of anger emanated from Darmawan's face. Darmawan directly beat Gilang mercilessly.
This morning, Belva ventured to call her parents. Belva doesn't know who to ask for help other than telling the truth to Vita and Darmawan.
Belva is also unlikely to get out of the hotel with a messy state and his clothes torn in some parts.
"Pa, that. It's not Gilang that did it, Pa." Belva tries to stop Darmawan's blow to Gilang's cheek.
"Don't defend him, Belva. Breng*** men don't seem to have to be pitied."
"I said it wasn't him, Pa. Papa's enough!"
"Then why would he be in this room, Bel, if he hadn't done it?"
"I called him last night, Pa. Because I don't know who to ask. I'm afraid Papa and Mama are mad at me if you know how I was last night."
Darmawan looked at Gilang who was slumped on the floor. His hand rubbed the tip of his bloody lips from Darmawan's punch.
"What did Belva really say?"
Gilang nodded in response.
"Then why did you shut up when I hit you?" Darmawan helped Gilang stand up and asked him to sit on the sofa.
"I'm sure you won't listen to me if I tell you the truth. Om Darmawan is in a state of emotion."
"I'm sorry, Lang."
"It's okay, Om. I've understood. Also_"
"Also what?"
"Also will marry Belva."
"What do you mean? Then your engagement?"
"I don't want to, Pa." Belva. "So, you're just saying this is the same as me who's dirty. I don't want to trouble anyone else. Gilang doesn't have to do this to me, either" he continued.
"I'll keep marrying you, Bel. About the engagement last night, I will settle" said Gilang firmly.
"Why are you doing this, Lang?" Now Vita who voiced after since his arrival, he could only tightly hug Belva's body.
Gilang did not answer. But in his heart, seeing Belva's cry last night, Gilang was filled with heart. Can't bear to see the devastation Belva felt. It felt angry at the man who had already done that to Belva. I can't believe Belva was treated this way. Moreover, Belva is like this because of her.
Although it is not Gilang's fault also if Belva is heartbroken. Since the beginning Gilang had said that he could not love Belva. But Belva kept chasing him until it ended like this.
But last night, Gilang felt like he wanted to keep protecting Belva. Hugged him and convinced Belva that everything would be fine.

"Silver doesn't have to do all this. I don't want to be called a man's lover, the destroyer of people's relationships."
"Awh. Slowly, Bell." Gilang grimaced in pain as Belva pressed down slightly hard on her bruise. After bathing and changing clothes, Belva asked for ice cubes and a small towel on the hotel maid to compress the bruise on Gilang's face.
Both Belva's parents rested in another room. Last night they couldn't sleep because they were looking for Belva. While Belva did not pick up a single call from Mama or her father.
"There is no need to hear what others are saying. I decided to marry you. They'll be tired of talking about us for a long time."
"We?" Belva made sure that she didn't hear wrong.
"Yes. You and me."
"What about Jihan's sister?"
"That's my business."
Belva was silent no more. He should be happy to be married by Gilang. But not in this way Belva expected.
"I'm dirty, brother. What I should have given my husband wasn't there."
"I'm afraid I'll put Kak Gilang and Kak Gilang's family to shame."
"We're gonna close this matter down tight. It's enough of us and your parents to know this."
"Don't you want to help me find that guy? Through the hotel cctv, for example," said Belva with fear.
"Make what? If you see her, will you marry her?"
Belva quickly shook her head. "I don't want to marry such a jerk."
"Yes already. We don't have to do it."
"But brother's engagement?"
"I told you it was my business."
Gilang should have just agreed to Belva's proposal. But Gilang feels that he cannot let go of Belva in the brash man who has desecrated Belva. How would Belva live with that man?
🌻🌻🌻
Jihan mute. There was not a single word he wanted to say when suddenly Gilang canceled their engagement which had just been held last night.
Only tears were a sign that her heart was so broken. It didn't feel like this much if Jihan could hold her heart back a little bit from falling in love with Gilang.
He should have retreated when Gilang said that it was not easy for him to open his heart.
"I'm sorry, Han. You can definitely get a better man than me."
Jihan nodded strongly. "Yes. I'll get a much better man than you."
After saying that, Jihan immediately left Gilang alone.

Plaque!!!
One hard slap landed on Gilang's cheek. Leaving red marks on Gilang's cheeks. Pain in the former Darmawan punch has not completely disappeared, it has been coupled with a slap so hard.
Yunita is unable to hold back her emotions when Gilang says that Gilang will marry another woman and cancel her engagement to Jihan.
Gavin and Micah who saw him could only remain silent, staring at Gilang with a handsome look. Also upset because again Gilang act.
"Mama has said, if there are other women, bring it in front of Mama and Papa. Now you've tied up a girl, Gilang. And you easily said you wanted to marry another woman?"
"Quiet, Ma. Sit first. Remember, Mama has hypertension."
"Gilang, Pa, if you get the tension Mama up again."
Unlike Yunita, Anton actually looks calmer. Problems like this will not be solved if not faced with a cold head.
"Who's that girl, Lang?"
Gilang looked at his papa for a moment. Then back down his head. "Belva, Dad. Mr. Darmawan's son."
The shock must have been felt by Anton and Yunita. It was the son of his own best friend. "Why new now? What was? What have you done with him?"
Gilang shook his head. "There's nothing, Pa. Gilang just realized that the one who wants to marry is Belva."
"Then with Jihan?"
"Say's already canceled it and talked it all over with Jihan, Pa."
"Oh Allah, Gilang... Shame all of you, Lang. Your engagement was just last night, you know. Today is off. How are Jihan's parents going, Lang? Why don't you stop doing it, anyway. How old are you, anyway, Lang, how, you keep doing your job?"
"Can't you if Gilang wants to blame Mama?"
"Why?" Yunita raised her voice, looking at Gilang with a sharp look.
"Mama forced me to get engaged. Though Gilang already said that Gilang did not want to."
Yunita could not speak anymore. Indeed wrong. But Yunita also did not want to see Gilang continue to fall and continue to feel jealous when she saw Gavin and Micah.
Yunita understood that even though Gilang never said it. Yunita thought love would come slowly if Gilang wanted to live it.
