Papa's Last Request
Ragu

Ovi thrust a spoonful of food into his nephew's mouth. Since morning the girl did not want to eat. Though solid events. It could be bad until he gets sick. "Come, Tania. Eat first." He persuaded.

"Tania isn't hungry, Auntie." The girl shook her head.

"Later you lemes, loh. Wanna go on the show again tonight. If you limp, then even bother. The newlyweds are sick after the wedding." Persuade soft. Making this girl understand was easy it turned out.

Tania finally complied. Spending a mouthful of food in front of him. He had no taste in looking at any menu. Heart's empty. All flavors mixed into one. Sad, angry, disappointed, hate.

Disappointed to everyone. Father, family. On Nero moreover, his sense of regret turned into hatred.

"Let's eat you rest. Aunty told me the other one, you don't have to be disturbed first." Ovi patiently bribed it. His hand also rubbed against the tear marks in Tania's eyes.

"Yes, Aunt."

"Well, another mouthful, yeah. This is where you rest. Later in the afternoon aunt woke up, get ready for the reception. Now you sleep first." Ovi tidied up the dishes, spoon and glass. Put it on the nightstand next to the bed. Let's get the hotel waiter.

She also helps Tania change clothes and clean her make-up, then leads her to bed. Tell the girl to sleep. Let Tania rest for a while. Today must have been hard for him.

At two o'clock in the afternoon. There's still time. Finished the deal earlier, Ovi accidentally brought Tania into the room. He did not want his nephew to be asked questions given Tania's unprepared mental state.

They'll be continuing the reception tonight. Bram still has a big party. Book this hotel for weddings and where family and colleagues stay from out of town.

Ovi sighed. Had he not lived abroad with his family, perhaps he could have looked after and protected Tania. Love and love her like her own child.

Bram insists on not allowing Tania to come with him on the grounds of not wanting to part with his daughter. Bram chose to take care of his daughter with the help of a nanny and Nero of course.

Now the girl has to marry Nero. Ovi could not imagine if she became Tania. Maybe his attitude will be the same as what he did, processing the raw matchmaking. That girl is so young. Just graduated from public high school. I don't know what marriage is. Forced by his father to tie a promise to live on, with people he does not want anyway.

Had Bram handed Tania over to him for treatment, maybe none of this would have happened. Ovi felt her brother did not believe her. A drop of her tears.

* * *

Ovi went out to the room where the accident had taken place. Guests and families are still gathering, talking while eating. Some went back to their rooms to rest.

While the wedding organizer they trust is busy changing the stage where the meeting was turned into a reception venue. A variety of beautiful flowers decorate the room from the entrance to the inside. Various kinds of dishes alternately prepared to entertain the guests. Downstream people did not reduce the sacredness of the event.

Bram is indeed smart to arrange everything, until many people do not know that actually this marriage is done forced by both of his bride and groom.

If she becomes Tania may choose to run away from the show, but it turns out that the girl loves her father very much. Even if he had to keep living it. Thankfully he complied. Not doing anything weird.

She remembers her first marriage to Mike, her husband. Same, full of flowers. It's just that they used to be very happy.

"Hi, Darl. Sit here." Mike pulled a chair for his wife. Ovi joined the table and took the food.

"Where's tania?" Ask Bram.

"Rest in the room. She didn't sleep last night. Kasian if he is tired, will soon continue the reception," replied Ovi.

"Have he eaten?" ask Mike in a rather awkward Indonesian. Bule' this one is quite fluent in Indonesian, but the pronunciation is sometimes strange.

Nero who was glimpsed was silent from earlier. Her face flushed. But he tried to put a normal expression in front of everyone, even though his heart was not rusty.

"Nero there to the room. Temani Tania's. You also need rest. The show is solid tonight. Rame's invitation." Bram told his son-in-law to come in.

"Later on, Mas. Still want to talk here," he refused subtly.

"Call to call me. Call papa dong." Mike teased. They all laugh. Nero just blushed in embarrassment. Face blushing.

"Have rest there. In the same room as my wife." Bram winked.

"This one." Her face flushed.

"You don't have to be shy, Nero. I never married." Ovi teased him again. They laughed out loud.

"Yaudah, I'm saying goodbye." He left the table for the elevator. Push the button to his room. Bridal room.

* * *

Nero stood long before the door. He was worried whether he would come in or not. The key to the hotel room from earlier was only held by him. His hands trembled every time he opened the door.

There's Tania inside. Tania's her little girl. She is no longer a little girl. Tania has grown into a beautiful girl, now legally become his wife too.

C'mon Nero. He must have fallen asleep from exhaustion. Sweaty pouring. It's not hot here at all.

You just need to enter the room. Change clothes and rest. This is your room too. What if Tania gets angry and drives him away? Not likely. Tania couldn't have kicked him out. You are very close to your girl.

That was. After knowing they were being betrothed and had to get married, Tania avoided it. Tania hates. He was angry, yelling at him. Says that Nero framed her, deliberately wanting to destroy her future. The girl thinks Nero deliberately wants to master her papa company by marrying her.

He could only fall silent accepting all the accusations of the girl. His promise to Bram to keep everything a secret is still firmly held. Until the time comes, Bram himself will talk to his daughter.

Nero pensive. Just come in, it's okay. If he's angry, you just have to be quiet. You can even calm or hug her.

Hugged her? He had been used to hugging the girl since childhood. Carrying, kissing, even several times falling asleep in his room while reading a storybook. Now it's different. Tania's his wife, not his little girl anymore. Touching him is not the same as before. Ah, Nero's really dizzy.

Czechs ....

Gathering a bit of courage he finally entered as well. Tania was asleep. His soft snoring voice sounded. Slowly close the door, change his clothes and wash his face.

She doubted. Should he sleep on the couch? But his huge body was definitely not enough for such a small sofa. His legs would definitely bend and his waist would hurt if forced to sleep there.

Let's just sleep next to Tania, it's normal too. After all, he will not do anything indecent even though it is legal to be his wife. Thought so. Somewhat doubtful, he finally decided to go up to the bed and take a position next to Tania.

Body's tired. His heart and mind too. From the beginning Bram asked her to marry, her days were so heavy and full of conflict, accusations, rejection that did not stop.

He accepted everything. It's a risk, isn't it?

Among the worry that raged in his mind, he soon fell asleep.
