Fathan, Tri, and also Cika were enjoying their breakfast quietly. However, the sound of the bell rang which made the three stop their breakfast with a moment.
"Let me open the door" Bi Sumi said politely.
Fathan nodded and resumed his meal quietly, occasionally staring at Tri and Cika alternately and smiling thinly. Don't they look like a very happy family? And soon Fathan will make Tri his wife even if he has to marry secretly without telling his family.
"Sorry, Sir. There was Mom and Non Tiara coming," Bi Sumi said politely.
Fathan put his spoon directly onto the plate. N*fsu his meal is gone now.
"There's Aunt Tiara, Bi? Yee.. Cika kangen aunty Tiara," said Cika happily.
"Just have breakfast, baby!" said Tri when he saw Cika running towards Tiara which is said to be bi Sumi. Somehow her heart throbbed in pain looking at the happy gaze that radiated from Cika's face when she heard Tiara's name.
Fathan grasped Tri's hand gently calming Tri's feelings that might have been painful. "My sister-in-law's brother" said Fathan slowly.
Tri looked at Fathan softly. So, Tiara is Fathan's sister-in-law as well as the girl Fathan is betrothed to. Tri's lips trembled withstanding the cries, he instantly released his hand from Fathan's grasp as he heard the sound of steps getting closer towards them.
"Good morning, brother!" said Tiara kindly and Cika who was already in her carriage.
"Again" replied Fathan flatly.
"Fathan, the friendly dong equals Tiara! Tiara is your future wife!" mama Yesha said firmly.
"Ma..."
"Why are you sitting with your employer? Eating at the same dining table as my children and grandchildren?" mama Yesha's protest sharply.
Tri immediately regained his seat and stood up from there. "Pardon me, Mom!" said Tri stammeredly and held back his cries.
"sorry. Remember you're Cika's new nanny here. Don't be as stylish as the owner of this house!" mama Yesha said sharply.
"Ma, don't blame Tri! He was not wrong, I told him to eat with us" Fathan said sharply. He could not bear to see Tri scolded by his mother like this.
"Grandma don't upset Aunt Tri. He's been good with Cika, taking care of Cika," said Cika angrily. The little girl was eager to say that Tri was her mother to her grandmother for scolding her mother but Cika did not want to make Fathan's orders to her fall apart. Cika did not want her mother to be hated more by the grandmother, as if understanding what had happened now Cika could only hold back her words.
Mama Yesha could only keep quiet by staring at Tri sharply. He felt the existence of Tri in this house was very threatening Tiara who incidentally is his prospective daughter-in-law. Mama Yesha sees Tri as teasing her son and mama Yesha will not let that happen.
"Already, Tan. Don't get mad at him!" tiara said gently looking at Tri with a smile.
Tri forced his smile to the girl he was betrothed to his lover.
Nyut...
His heart throbbed pain as he looked at the beautiful and friendly face of the girl who was the future wife of Fathan. Tri already felt defeated by that beautiful face.
Fathan stared at Tri's departure wryly. Then he looked at his mother and Tiara sharply. "Cika sukul aunty Tri first. Papa wants to talk to grandma and aunt," said Fathan firmly.
"Yes, Pa," said Cika softly and immediately asked to come down from the sling of Tiara. The little girl immediately ran after Tri who walked towards the garden behind Fathan's house.
"What do you need mama and Tiara here?" ask Fathan flatly.
"Oh my goodness, Fathan, how many times have Mama said that it was gentle to talk to Mama and Tiara" said Mama Yesha with her frustration but not at all influenced by Fathan.
"Basic rock!" mama Yesha muttered sharply. "Mama came here with Tiara to talk about your engagement" said Mama Yesha who managed to make Fathan look sharply at her mother.
"Fathan will not be engaged to Tiara let alone to marry Tiara, Ma!" fathan said firmly.
"Mama doesn't want to know. You're gonna stay married!" mama Yesha said sharply.
"They also agreed to this matchmaking, right?" mama Yesha asked Tiara.
Tiara stared at Fathan with a faint smile. "Yes Auntie!" tiara replied which made Fathan even more upset with this girl. What is Tiara planning?
"good. You can't refuse this match anymore, Fathan. Soon we will determine the date of your marriage," said Mama Yesha happily make Fathan clenched her hand, as soon as Fathan must thwart this matchmaking.
"Mom can leave us both? Fathan wants to talk to Tiara," said Fathan, staring intently at Tiara, while Tiara was ordinary with a casual expression.
"It's very fine, honey. Yes, Mama followed Cika first. Who knew the village girl was not good at looking after Cika," said Mama Yesha waltzing away.
Fathan looked at Tiara sharply after the departure of his mother. "Sister knows you are planning something by accepting this match," Fathan said sharply. "Say what's your purpose?" asked Fathan coldly.
Tiara chuckles cynically. "Sister doesn't know anything about me. Why would you accuse me like that?" tiara asked casually.
"So I don't know you. You are not that kind of woman," Fathan replied withstanding his irritation.
"If I told you how I love you?" tiara asked with Fathan smiling as if toying with Fathan's current emotions.
Fathan looked at Tiara cynically. "Sister also knew long ago that you loved Zidan. It's only right for Zidan to leave you because you're not strict with your relationship. Try from the beginning you can be firm then Zidan will not leave you with a female la..."
"ENOUGH!" tiara shouted with a flash full of wounds.
"Can you get angry too? Why?" asked Fathan with a chuckle.
Tiara clenched her hands staring intently at Fathan. "Don't mention her name in front of me!" tiara said sharply.
"It looks like once if you fail to move on from Zidan. You accepted this marriage to heat up Zidan so? Remember Tiara Zidan already has a wife and she is already happy with her little family," said Fathan deliberately heating up Tiara who had been holding back his tears.
"I won't mess with Brother's words. What is clear is that he is not the main reason I accepted this match," Tiara said sharply without looking at Fathan. Tiara doesn't want Fathan to see her fragile side because of Zidan. Yes, Tiara admits to all this she did to make Zidan feel jealous. But is it possible after he hears a confession from his sister-in-law if Zidan is married? Why does it hurt so much?
Fathan chuckles. "We'll never get married, Tiara! If this is how you make Zidan jealous it's the same way you feed yourself to be Zidan's mockery because you failed to move on from him while Zidan was happy to even forget his love for you," fathan said casually.
"Haha... I don't care about Zidan anymore! It's up to you to say what I obviously don't care about. And I'll make sure that we're still married!"
