like being struck by lightning when I learned that my father's company was bankrupt.

and my mom went to the hospital.

"Darling". call my father and take me to the hospital couch. I looked at him and followed my father who was sitting down.

Dad breathed heavily like he didn't want to say his words. " Daddy's son is bankrupt, and your mother is still unconscious. But I have to say it now son before it's too late".

"Don't marry your best friend's son tomorrow.

I kept my eyes looking seriously at my dad not sure what I heard.

" Yes, marry my father's best friend's son tomorrow.

"Why?" I asked a little trembling.

"Because dad's business depends on your wedding tomorrow, and dad's best friend wants to help me with my dad's, on the condition that I have to marry you to his son." obviously my father with his hands was a little wet from his sweat.

"Business!." I said a little sad. "Because of the business you're willing to sell your own son?"

"It's not like that, son."

"One day you'll understand why I begged you for this" continued the father but still with regret has asked his son to marry and can't explain anything.

I immediately nodded even though my heart was heavy on accepting this decision. Especially because of a business. I rubbed my tears that suddenly dripped. Dad just looked at me with a smile and thanked me.

Father then went to the front of the room to call his best friend and told him that my father had received a child proposal from his best friend.

Mommy woke up and called me to hold my hand tightly while stumbling. as if knowing that tomorrow I will marry mother just smile and say that later I will be happy with her.

I answered nothing to my mother's words. And what is on my mind right now just wants to cry and be angry but I see mother I only hope that with the sacrifice of your son you can be happy father and my mother.

my phone rang from my girlfriend Reza. I forgot that there was an appointment with him in a hurry I picked up the phone from him.

"Sorry sorry we couldn't meet today. Mother's in the hospital and I have to look after her". I said straight to the point.

" Okay no problem, baby. I called you because I have a job from my company and I was sent to Jakarta today maybe about three days I just returned".

"Okay keep telling me" and hang up. Maybe when he comes back I'll talk to him about this matchmaking. But if she still wanted to listen to me when she returned from her duties I was already the wife of my father's best friend's son. And will he accept all my explanations.

Suddenly my tears trickled again imagining all this wishing that an angel would come to grant my request and I wanted to return to a time where my father's company had not gone bankrupt and I would not go through an arranged marriage because of money problems. Already the rice has become porridge complain also will not return all my words in the heart and look at the mother who is lying weak.

I love my father and my mother, although the weight will be heavy. Although this matchmaking cannot end happily like FTV dramas, I will continue to live it for the sake of my parents.
