🌺 hem... 🌺

'' I heard he refused to be betrothed ''

'' hem.'' nodded faintly.

'' are you still his prisoner ? ''

Nod again.

'' why not be honest, right ? Be frank if you love her too ''

'' what would I expect if I told him the truth ?

Will he accept me for what I am ?

But what if the opposite happens ?

It's better this way.

Sooner or later he will find out.

Thanks for understanding my situation .

I owe you this much help.

And I promise I'll definitely pay it back if I come back later ''

'' when will you be back ? ''

A brief smile while shrugging both of his shoulders once.

'' alright. Be careful on the road and often give word if it is there ''

The video call ended.

Linda walked out of the room.

He looked around the room.

He had been living for a week and was not allowed out of Dino's apartment.

And during that time also the days he spent with all day in it without doing any meaningful activities while waiting for Dino to come home from work.

And after that they will spend time together, dinner, walk and always end up in bed. Routines that should be done by married couples.

'' I love you. Marry me, Linda ''

Every day not even knowing the time, countless more how many times Dino blurted out that sentence.

Linda still did not respond.

Dino is at the limit of his patience.

He tried and kept trying to find out why. He also plans to meet his parents. Maybe they know something.

However, this must be delayed because both parents are abroad and will only be back in a week.

Increasingly curious, he also asked via an international telephone connection. But both of his parents gave answers that did not make him satisfied.

Dino was asked to wait for their return, then later both parents will explain directly.

Back at this time.

Linda's preparing to make dinner for Dino.

In a drink that he made specifically for Dino, he included sleeping pills that had been delivered by Triassic.

And everything went according to plan.

When Dino came, the man unsuspectingly gulped down the drink Linda had offered.

After making sure the medicine had worked, Linda rushed out of the apartment that had given her sweet and warm memories, which she would surely miss.

Linda took a taxi to the airport, where she had been waiting for Trias and her mother.

Linda hugged Trias just before entering the international departure gate. He thanked me many times with tears.

After that, Trias also let go of his cousin and tantenya left.

No one knows where the mother and daughter went but her.

Next day.

Dino woke up to a dizzy head.

After being fully conscious, he immediately remembered Linda.

Starting by calling the name of the woman many times while stepping down each shrink of the room.

But what was sought was nonexistent.

He calls Chiko, asking her to go to Linda's parents' house.

Not long after, the shocking news came.

Linda wasn't there, neither was her mother. The house is empty . It is unclear when the occupants left.

Dino started to wave. He tried to call Linda's number many times but never once the call was connected .

A few days after Linda's disappearance.

Dino is still trying to find Linda's whereabouts, although it is unclear the direction of her goal.

Until the most anticipated day .

Both of his parents came home, Dino immediately went to see them.

The thirty-five-year-old married couple were concerned.

They didn't expect that Dino really loved Linda to this extent.

Dino looks messy. With a face that looks pale . Because this week isn't necessarily a break looking for Linda.

'' do you remember when you were in Bali for a week ? '' the mother began to open the story.

Dino nodded. Of course he remembered because it was along with news Linda entered the hospital and had to undergo cyst surgery in her uterus.

At that time he actually wanted to go home and accompany Linda, but his family and fiance forbade him.

They promised to take good care of Linda.

If you remember it's not wrong it was seven or eight months ago.

" Linda's not having regular myoma surgery.

But ooferoctomy surgery .

There is a tumor in one of her ovaries that has spread to the other ovary.

The only way to save her was to lift both her ovaries.

You know what that means ? That means Linda will never be able to get pregnant "

' deg' what does that mean ? Why didn't they tell him that. Dino stared questioningly at her parents.

" it's not like we didn't want to tell you.

But it was Linda who begged to be given a chance to be with you in a moment.

Linda said she loved you so much.

But he also said that if he knew himself enough.

He promised to break your relationship "

After hearing the explanation of his parents, Dino came home feeling a mess.

So this is why Linda refused to marry him.

Dino was crying in silence.

If asked how deep his love for Linda is, he can prove it and will show it by accepting any circumstances Linda.

As long as he can live with the idol of the heart, he intends never to bring up let alone dispute it.

One side he loves Linda. But on the other side -

" we know you love each other, but it's hard for us to accept Linda as a daughter-in-law if that's the case.

You are our only child.

So it's only natural that we want you to marry a woman who can give you offspring ''

the father's words made him burdened.

Slowly Dino also realized, if he could not be selfish.

Linda herself stepped back and let go.

Dino will try to forget it, learn to open her heart and start her new page without Linda.

It did not take long, Dino married the son of a relative of the father.

The house went well without meeting any significant obstacles. Where the second year of marriage, he was blessed with a son who complemented the happiness of his marriage.

Although his life seems to be going quite well, in fact he can never escape the shadow of Linda.

His love was never able to give to his wife and the woman who had given him a baby.

But Dino still tries to make his wife happy in various ways.

Although he himself had to endure the pain of missing the woman he loved.

* * *

5 years later.

" hey... " Trias waved at the figure that emerged from behind the welcome gate.

The woman who was now three heads was smiling sumringah.

He was happy because he finally could return home even without his mother who two years ago had died due to a traffic accident.

Linda is really a kara. That's why Trias tried to persuade him to come home.

Linda initially refuses, fearing that she will meet Dino.

But when he heard the news that the man had married and had children, he ventured home. But he will only temporarily stay with Triassic.

He has made plans for the future by living outside the city.

But who would have thought if the Triassic had prepared a surprise for him.

Looks like Linda has to bury the plan.

Because at this time he is dealing with a figure that he did not see for a long time and is very much missed.

The man looks more handsome at his mature age.

Dino welcomed his arrival.

Dino has also found out if Linda and Trias are family.

Dino is now a widower.

A year ago the wife died while undergoing the process of the birth of their second child. Even the second child candidate who is female sex also did not survive.

" Linda, will you marry me ? " that's the first sentence Dino said when dealing with Linda.

Linda was doubtful. He turned his face to Trias .

Her pretty cousin nodded. It's like saying there's nothing more to worry about.

You deserve to be together and maybe you are destined to be a match, the more you have to go through the past.

'' Linda.. '' Dino grabbed both hands of this woman in front of him.

Staring fixedly with a twinkle full of hope.

Linda nodded once ,always many times along with the fall of happy tears and her day .

It might be true if they had been destined to be together despite having to go through several years of separation.

But that's okay, because after this Dino will make sure if Linda will be a prisoner in her house until the end of her life.
