The sunlight that broke through the gap in the window of the owner of the room. Also the sound of birds chirping that accidentally made him wake up from his deep sleep. His eyes became very heavy, and a little felt due to swelling. Because he cried all night.
Only a shrill sound came from Valenzi's mouth. He immediately got up and opened the balcony door that was connected to his room. He breathed fresh air in a soothing morning.
"It's a big headache" he said, monologuing. While closing the balcony door, he walked towards the bathroom.
He continued walking towards the bathroom, occasionally holding his aching head.
When Valenzi opened the door of his room, there was already a look of Diana who was standing hesitantly in front of the door. The two were shocked, and stared at each other for a few seconds.
"The breakfast is ready, dear" said Diana. Valenzi nodded, and walked after him.
At the dinner table, no one made a sound. Only the sound of the sound of the spoon clashing with the plate. Both of Valenzi's parents prefer to be quiet, letting his daughter make peace with her destiny first.
Valenzi looked up at his parents at a glance. His heart broke when he had to remember the incident last night.
Instead of continuing to struggle with the silence for longer, Valenzi sped up his meal and immediately left the dining table.
"My fate is great, yes. Fooled by people I don't even know, know his face is not," he murmured.
Valenzi exhaled his coarse breath. He knew what his parents were going through. The company has been on the verge of bankruptcy, or even now it has gone bankrupt. He walked up to the wheeled chair in front of his study desk, pushing it all the way to the front of the window.
Valenzi is re-thought of his destiny. The destiny that has been outlined is such a Power for him. Attempt to receive all Powerful gifts with the intermediary of the universe. It's hard, but he always has a chance to live it. He must not hate the universe or his parents. He knew very well if his parents clearly thought about how his fate would be.
"Pa ..., Zizi doesn't even say anything to us, Papa's still sure?" diana said in a voice that had already shaken. After Valenzi's departure without saying a word, made Diana's heart ache. Never had Valenzi silenced her like this.
"There's no other way, Ma. Papa like this is also for your good, our good, Ma."
"Zizi .. wake up, honey. It was late afternoon" said Diana.
Valenzi nodded slowly, and opened his eyes little by little. He felt more and more his head really hurt, even his eyes were getting heavy. I don't think he cried before he fell asleep on this bed, but why are his eyes getting so swollen?
"Wake, Son. Shower, after that beautiful dress up. Mom wait downstairs, yeah."
Valenzi looked at Diana with a clueless look.
"A dinner with your future husband, son."
Diana rubbed Valenzi's shoulder for a moment, before she decided to leave. "Darling, you know papa, huh?"
Diana desperately held back the urge of tears that had been fertilized. He still forced a smile on his face, so that his daughter also felt strong to bear the burden that should not be for him.
Valenzi looked at Diana's back which was getting further away from him.
"Do I have to come, okay?" muttered.
Valenzi went to the bathroom, just as Diana had told him to. She gets ready and dresses accordingly. After looking at her reflection in the mirror for the umpteenth time, she decided to go down and meet her parents.
"Ma ... Papa really wants to mate Zizi?" valenzi asked as he walked closer to his parents.
"Ah ... Papa's son is very beautiful," replied Reno.
"Pa, answer Zizi's words."
"Papa still remains on Papa's stand. And you, the evidence is down and have dressed up like this. So, you accepted this match, right?" ask Reno.
"But Zizi won't, Pa!" Valenzi's voice shook. Diana immediately approached her daughter, and calmed her down.
"Dz ... Papa asked, this time I'll follow Papa's request. Everything you want, everything you want, Papa has done it all. This time it was Zi, follow Papa's request. Papa please be with you, Zi, "please Reno. He could not see his daughter crying either. However, on the other hand, he also could not sacrifice his company as well as his family. Everything will be fine, when Valenzi is willing to marry the son of his business partner, he will live a happy life, he thought.
Truly Valenzi was helpless, his rebellion would not be taken seriously by Reno. This time, his heart was on the verge of confusion. Either have to stick with his ego, or break it down all his parents.
"Don't forget to smile, dear," Diana ordered.
The three walked into the restaurant previously notified.
Even Valenzi, painstakingly continued to hold back his smile. It was as if to tell if he was happy with this matchmaking.
"G ... Reno!"
Reno, who heard the greeting, walked ahead of his daughter and wife with a big smile. The two hugged each other, and finally allowed Valenzi and Diana to join in.
Valenzi observed the people sitting in front of him. Three strangers who will soon become his family. His eyes accidentally caught a young man who was always silent, even he rarely expressed himself. Only if one of her parents looked at her would she smile.
What is this guy, my future husband? inner Valenzi.
"Oh, earlier. This is my son, Raka." The young man who was the center of attention this time, smiled and nodded slowly.
"Oh, this is my daughter, Valenzi." Valenzi smiled and nodded slowly.
"Beauty ...."
Valenzi smiled again.
"alright. Reno, Diana's. In order not to take too long. We're speeding up Valenzi's marriage to Raka. How about three more days?" ask Bagas-Papa Raka.
Valenzi rounded his eyes for a moment. His eyes stared blankly. Why is his heart so agitated like this? He obeyed his parents' will because the universe made him sure, but this time the universe actually made him doubt, and broke his belief.
Diana who was sitting next to Reno smiled bitterly and looked towards her daughter.
"Tomorrow will pick up Zizi for fitting clothes, the rest of us will do our best, so that the marriage is smooth" said Riri-Mama Raka.
Then given a nod by Valenzi's parents, as well as Bagas.
Valenzi and Raka are getting quieter. His fate this time is controlled by his parents as a business field. What is their fate?
"Ma. He's sleepy" he said after he got home.
Diana nodded, and rubbed the top of Valenzi's head fondly.
"Is this not too fast, Pa?"
"Papa tastes like that too, but they've decided, Ma. Mama is calm. Valenzi must be happy with them. Mama's worry is just Mama's love for Valenzi" Reno said.
Diana was silent, not answering her husband's words. He's still agitated. Thinking about Valenzi's next life, when he was no longer next to Valenzi.
Valenzi changed his clothes, and dropped himself on the bed. He looked at the ceiling with a feeling that was somehow, with a sense that was also already bland. Valenzi had never even guessed before.
An arranged marriage that he never expected or even crossed his mind.
Valenzi was too late in his thoughts, then he fell into a deep sleep. Rest his heart and brain that have been working too hard today.
"Eughh ... What time is it, anyway?" muttered. His hand was busy touching his phone lying on the bed.
He kept silent again, looking up at the ceiling. Nope-no. The universe must have had a reason to make him this confident with his papa's decision. Thought Valenzi.
Gts ... Gts ... Gts ...
"Who?"
"It's Auntie, Non."
"Just in, Bi. It's not locked, it's."
"What's up, Bi?" ask Valenzi.
"Call the madam, Non."
Valenzi. "Thank you, Bi."
"Together, Non. Aunty downstairs yeah, Non."
Valenzi. Get out of bed and slightly tidy up his appearance.
His steps stopped in the middle of the stairs. His eyes quickly caught the figure of the man sitting in conversation with his parents.
"Eh Zizi's. Here son," said Diana. Valenzi walked slowly towards the living room.
"You thought you were dancing, look at Raka. She was handsome when you were wearing your nightgown?"
Valenzi looked at Diana. Which was rewarded by him.
"Today you're fitting a wedding dress, don't forget, right?" ask Reno.
Valenzi. "Yaudah, Zizi change clothes first, Ma."
Valenzi left three people in the living room. Walk slowly into his room.
"Just passed yesterday, uh already want fittings clothes," he murmured.
"Raka. This is good, isn't it?" ask Riri.
Raka just nodded at a glance, then went back to reading the newspaper that was on the waiting table.
Valenzi has gone back and forth into the dressing room.
"You go home first, this is for Mama to take care of. Raka, you take Zizi home, okay?"
Raka nodded, and walked ahead of Valenzi.
"Zizi is the same Raka said yes, Ma," Valenzi said. Riri nodded and hugged Valenzi affectionately.
"Be careful, son!"
Valenzi turned and nodded.
In the car, Valenzi and Raka did not speak a word. Valenzi only glanced at Raka once in a while, observing every inch of her face. The face of her future husband, her life-friend.
