Forced And Forced Marriage
Part 2 Receiving

''Elijah, agree to be betrothed!''

Elijah saw the happy smiles of his parents after hearing his words, he could not imagine if he refused then what he would see now was the disappointment of his two parents, he said, so receiving is the best way for the happiness of both parents.

''From the beginning I was sure you wouldn't disappoint me! I'll call Hendra soon! he must be happy to hear this good news.'' Said Mr. Dika spirit.

''Yes, I'll call our prospective besan immediately! tell them if we should meet soon to arrange a wedding date!'' Said Ms. Mira.

Deg.

''Setting the wedding date?''. Elijah's great-grandson bit his lower lip.

Elijah looked seriously at his parents. ''Father, Mother...'' Call Elijah in a loud voice. ''Elijah accepted this match, but Elijah did not want to marry, Elijah wanted a fiancee first. Lagian Elijah did not know his son om Hendra, so after the engagement I was with his son om Hendra can approach and know each other first.''

''Elijah, according to the father you better get married immediately, your approach can be more flexible and you will be able to get to know each other more easily.'' said Mr. Dika expectantly to his daughter.

''Eli.'' Melvin who had been silent since hearing his father and sister now spoke, when he saw the look on his sister's face that was not as happy as before, while his father seemed to have been strong with his decision to immediately marry this sister.

''I don't know if you don't want an easy marriage.'' said Melvin again, he knew what made it difficult for Elijah to accept his father's request because Elijah had told him that he would not marry easily. ''But according to my brother, if you want to marry his son, Hendra is no problem. Brother knows his son om Hendra, he is kind, polite and all this time brother has never heard any scandal about the son om Hendra, it seems he is quite guarding himself from promiscuity.'' Melvin to Elijah.

Melvin tried to convince Elijah to accept the arranged marriage because honestly he was afraid this sister refused, then their father would be very disappointed. This was also the first time his father asked his sister for something, usually their father always obeyed Alia's request he never refused anything Elijah wanted.

Elijah squeezed the edge of his shirt. ''Why does no one understand Elijah?'' elijah's eyes glazed over with a single blink, and Elijah was sure that his tears would wash over his face.

Dika sighed before speaking. ''Elijah, as long as I have never asked for anything with you, right? I always obey your wishes.'' Mr. Dika paused his speech as his right hand was held by his wife. Dika saw his daughter who was crying. ''Dad never kneels you to be what you want, but this time I want you to obey my wishes! father sure his son om Hendra can take care of you, father will be calm if you marry his son om Hendra they are a good family, father has known them for a long time.'' Said Mr. Dika again.

Elijah was silent, he already did not know what to answer, well from the beginning he had realized that his father did not want him to refuse this matchmaking.

***

Elijah was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling of his room thinking about the decision he had taken earlier, he chose to agree to marry following his father's wishes, after all he had no other choice, he had no choice, he was forced to agree for the happiness of his father and this was the final decision, he would try to accept whatever happened in his life later.

Tok.dok.

Elijah's daydream ended because of the sound of the door of his room being knocked.

''Honey, can you come in?'' the sound of the mother asking for permission to enter.

''Yes, mother just entered the door is not in the key.'' Elijah changed his position to sit.

''Clek.''

The door opened and Miss Elina went inside

daughter's room.

''Honey, did you disturb your nap?'' elina asked Elijah to her daughter when she was sitting on the bedside of her daughter.

''Ngga Bun, what's the mother down?'' Elijah asked as he looked at the paper bag in his mother's hand.

''That's a dress, which you just ordered to wear at dinner with the family om Hendra later tonight.''

Elijah looked at the paper bag with mixed feelings, well he almost forgot that his father had also said that there was a dinner with the Hendra family tonight.

''Later that night the mother who will court this mother's daughter in order to look more beautiful, the daughter of the mother must be perfect later tonight!'' Elina had the hair of Elijah covering her face.

Ms. Elina looked at Elijah whose face was so moody not as usual, hah her chatty daughter did not say much now.

Miss Elina took Elijah into her arms. ''Honey, sorry mommy same dad well..... Back when you were born dad was so happy he was smiling all day then, he promises to be the best father for his children and promises that when you are old enough to get married he will find the best man who can take care of his beloved daughter, who wouldn't dare to hurt his daughter. I love Elijah very much.'' Ms. Elina told me how her husband rivaled her daughter hoping that she would not hate her father for forcing her to accept this match.

Elina cries for her mother, she knows her father loves her, she doesn't hate him for forcing her, her father just wants what's best for her.

Ms. Elina took off her embrace, she wiped away her daughter's tears.Mother hopes you will always be happy.''

''Elijah loves his mother and father, Elijah knows he only wants the best for Elijah.'' said Elijah holding his mother's hand.

Miss Elina smiled at her daughter. ''Dear mother wants to meet your father first, you take a nap first so that later in the night you look more fresh!'' Elina said before leaving Elijah's room.

After the mother came out Elijah followed her mother's advice to take a nap.

***

Elsewhere a man was sitting on a chair with a laptop and files were on a table in his front.

Cleks.

The sound of the door of the male workspace opened and entered the male with a firm and cold aura even at his age which is no longer young.

''Delvin Ayres Abraham.'' Greet the man firmly.

''Papa?'' muttered Delvin saw the father who stepped his feet closer to him.

Delvin sighed, he already knew what the purpose of his father came to his work, what else if not discuss the ridiculous matchmaking he had planned.Delvin son of Mr. Mahendra Abraham the friend of Elijah's father.

Mr. Hendra sat in a chair in front of his son. ''Delvin, do you remind me of the event tonight?''

''Hunm.'' Delvin answered lazily.

Mr. Hendra smiled at the response of his son. ''You know the consequences if you don't come tonight?'' asked Mr. Hendra to his son Delvin.

''Pa!'' delvin's voice snapped at his papa. ''Papa, can't you please don't bring Runa in our affairs? Runa doesn't know anything, Pa!'' Delvin growled at his papa who always threatened him.

''A-RU-NA.'' Said Mr. Hendra calling the name of Delvin's lover. ''The woman who can only trouble you!'' Mr. Hendra stared intently at Delvin.

BRACK......
