Elly is shocked when Reo asks her to accept the plan for their matchmaking to speed up. She felt unprepared and overwhelmed by the request as she had just enjoyed her role as a new student. However, Elly finds it difficult to express her feelings to Reo because she is worried about hurting her brother Alina's feelings.
Elly and Reo have been getting married since a year ago. Their families are close friends, and they have been planning to match their children for a long time. However, Elly who was initially pleased with the idea, in fact felt disappointed because of Reo's rejection.
So now she thinks that she should have the right to choose her own partner, not just be determined by her family. Just like Reo had thought before.
After graduating from High School, Elly was happy because she was busy with her studies. He sees this as an opportunity to take control of his own life and pursue his dreams. He is happy with the freedom given to him and happy to live his own life without being burdened by the expectations of the family. Because papa and his mother no longer discuss the titled plan only with Reo.
However, all of a sudden all of those plans are shattered when Reo makes a request to speed up their matchmaking. Elly is saddened that she is not ready for marriage, and she feels that she is not ready to sacrifice her freedom and her dreams. However, he did not know how to express his feelings to Reo without hurting his heart.
Elly finally decides to talk to Reo. She tells him that she is not ready to get married anytime soon, and that she wants to pursue her dreams first.
"But El, Big Brother wants to talk about our plan for a proposal. Brother thinks it's time to speed up our matchmaking." Reo again said the plan.
"Sorry, brother, but I'm not ready now. I want to pursue my dreams and focus on education first." Elly tried to give a reasonable reason.
"But we've planned to mate. Our family has made preparations for this plan. Brother had thought about it too."
Elly smiled faintly at Reo's words reassuring her. But for now, he already had his own views.
"I know Brother. But I want to have the right to choose my own life partner. I don't want to be betrothed to someone I don't love. And I thought, if we get married now, I won't be able to pursue my dreams."
Reo's long breath is clearly visible if he is upset. "But, Elly, I've started loving you. I want to build a future with you. I understand that you want to pursue your dreams, but I think we can get married and build our future together."
"I'm sorry for my attitude in the beginning,"
Reo's remorse may be a little late, because Elly's feelings seem to have been bargaining, not the same as before.
"Elly knows Brother. But it's about Elly's life and Elly's happiness too. I hope Big Brother can understand and appreciate the decision Elly took at this time."
"Hhhhh..."
"Of course I appreciate your decision, Elly. But I feel that our parents have planned for this matchmaking is the best. This is also the hope of our family, and Big Brother doesn't want to disappoint them anymore."
Elly did not want to disappoint her family. But he hopes to find a good way out for everyone.
"Hemmm... How about waiting for Elly to graduate?" ask Elly at the end.
"I don't think that might be a good solution. You are ready to wait until you are ready to get married. But at least we're engaged first."
Elly is speechless to Reo, who asks her to get engaged in the near future. He himself still wanted freedom.
"So much Brother. But I don't want Big Brother to over-regulate me, if I'm in college." Elly filed a requirement.
It seemed like Reo had already started to show an overprotective attitude towards Elly, who could only sigh deeply upon hearing her words.
*****
At home, the situation faced by Reo who wanted to convey his desire to accelerate the matchmaking with Elly on his papa was quite a complicated and stressful situation. Reo feels it's time to affirm the continuation of his match with Elly.
She knows that Elly is not ready to get married now and wants to focus on her education and pursue her dreams. But Reo wants to have Elly, who already occupies his heart.
Therefore, Reo felt the need to talk to his papa about his desire to speed up his proposal with Elly. Reo wants to make sure that her father understands her wishes and also wants to get support from her father to speed up their matchmaking.
However, Reo also realizes that he must speak wisely and politely, as he does not want to make his papa angry or disappointed with his decision. Reo must also consider how to keep his papa from feeling that Reo is not paying attention to Elly's wishes.
"Pa's."
"Hmmm..."
Reo hesitated, as his papa's response was cold. He could not convey his wishes when his father was not relaxed.
As his son was in a state of silence, Shiro Yuki finally turned his attention from the phone screen towards Reo.
"What's wrong?" shiro Yuki asked, thinking if there was anything important that his son wanted to convey.
"Emhhh. That's Pa. Reo spoke to Elly about the continuation of our arranged marriage plan." Reo remained silent for a while, waiting for a reaction from his papa. But in fact the papa was just silent, waiting for the continuation of the story.
"Elly agreed if we were engaged first" Reo told reporters.
"Is this Elly who agrees, or are you pressing?" asked Shiro Yuki guessing.
Getting the question, Reo fell silent and showed his head. What his father asked was true. He urged Elly to accept her wish.
"Sorry Pa. But Reo can't see Elly close to another guy. Reo does not want Elly to have a special relationship with other guys as well," Reo explained telling his statement to his papa.
Shiro Yuki smiled faintly at her son's reply. He knows, that actually Reo had your special feelings for Elly long ago. But because Reo feels that Elly is like her own sister, Reo brushes off her feelings. Especially since going to college to America, then close to the girl there, Reo seemed to deceive his own feelings.
As an experienced papa, Shiro Yuki knows very well how Reo is doing studying abroad. He also monitors his son's activities and relationships there.
Shiro Yuki also knows, who is a Caucasian girl who is close to Reo, Angella, who in fact never knew Reo's background as the son of the owner of Nagato Group.
But that was also what made Shiro Yuki feel happy. Because Angella did not understand the situation that could be taken as an advantage, from her relationship with Reo. Just like Lay Sanespere, his ex-wife.
