EL NATH (Glorious Regrets)
Chapter 26 Apply

At night, at 19:30 at the residence of Zainal Ibrahim-Tiara's father.

"Our intention was to propose to Tiara to Reyfan as his wife." Rendi said her intention and purpose came to this house.

Tiara's father and mother looked at each other while Tiara who was also in the conversation kept her head down by squeezing her fingers. It has to be how? Why did Reyfan keep advancing even though Nath was already beside him?

"So, what about Sir, Mom?" ask Rendi.

Zainal looked at his beloved daughter who was shrouded in fear and doubt. Zainal also occasionally glanced at Reyfan's face which continued to smile, making him feel even more disliked by the man. How could he smile and put on a relaxed face while Tiara was in pain and confusion.

"Sorry Mr. Rendi, Nath will remain in charge and marry Tiara."

Tiara immediately looked at her father's face that looked certain. Somehow there was relief in his heart when his father seemed to be more grateful with Nath than with Reyfan.

"But sir, isn't .. sorry, the fetus in the Tiara womb is gone?" ask Reni.

Zainal and Nurul and Tiara looked at each other. Feeling astonished because this family knows about Tiara who miscarried.

Zainal smiled and nodded. "It's true, but Nath and his family have already said they will take responsibility."

"But not yet, Om," sambar Reyfan. Everyone looked at him who seemed to want to compete with Nath to propose to Tiara.

Tiara looked at him dislikefully. He looked at Reyfan. If not for the advice of Nath and his family, he would have guided Reyfan over all his treatment of Tiara.

"Reyfan, restrain yourself," Rendi scolded her son.

"Tiara, how are you, son? Are you ready to be a daughter-in-law in a family home that doesn't necessarily accept you?"

"Mother and father already consider you as our daughter. And Reyfan is also willing to accept you," said Reni making Tiara instantly stare at Reyfan.

He wants to accept me after everything that happened to me? How improbable? What exactly is the purpose? If it was only because of Reyga's request, he couldn't possibly want to rape my*, right? Why is she too ambitious to marry me?

"How's Tiara? All decisions are on you."

Tiara looked at her parents. She has decided not to marry Reyfan even though Nath does not marry her.

"Look, dad, mom." Tiara sighed.

"Forgetting Reiga was hard, losing her was painful." Tiara's eyes began to glaze over.

"The pain hasn't even healed up until now. And marrying Reyfan's sister will only make me worse because I keep remembering the deceased."

"Again, how can I live with the man who killed my son-in-law?" Tiara looked at Reyfan with the anger she was holding back.

"The man who dashed my hopes and Nath's."

"The man who made me lose a piece of happiness. Y'all know? Even without Nath's confession, I had high hopes for that fetus. For a moment I forgot my pain of losing Reyga. For a moment I had a new hope, I had a direction to live my life in the future."

Tiara wiped her tears. "Sorry dad, mom. Reiga wants my happiness. And I don't think it's with Reyfan's sister."

Tiara got up from her seat. "Sorry, Tiara come in first, Tiara wants a break. Excuse me." Tiara walked into the room.

"Pak Rendi, Tiara has already made her decision. Thank you for your kindness all along. I'm sorry I couldn't repay your kindness by making her the daughter-in-law of your family."

"Let Tia have the right to make a choice. She's our eldest daughter, the burden she carries has been very heavy since childhood. So, now we're going to obey his wishes and put his happiness first."

"Alright Mr. Zainal, we'll excuse you. We're also grateful that the man is still responsible."

"I'm on Reyfan's behalf apologizing for all the events Reyfan caused."

"Tell Tiara our apologies, too."

The Rendi family finally came home, after the rejection that Tiara had emphatically said.

"Why don't they understand Tia's condition, Mas?" nurul asked her husband when their guest was home.

"Akhtar's family alone can wait until Tiara's condition improves. And they came when Tia just got home from the hospital."

"Okay, I don't know either. But it certainly feels relieved when Tiara bravely rejects Reyfan. He must have also seen that Nath is much better than Reyfan."

"Yes, Mas. Nath does look much better than his attitude and nature. It's just that they've made a mistake that up until now I couldn't understand."

"You know the story, right? It was pure mistake. Let's just say they lost against the devil's temptation."

"Talking to her family is so soothing, Rul."

"The way they addressed and embraced Nath was very wise. Makes Nath and Tiara feel embraced, unshunned and not judged."

"Yes Mas. They're an amazing family."

"really. Look how they accepted Ezra and treated us at their children's wedding."

"Yes, warm family."

In the room, Tiara spilled all her frustration. His cry broke out because it would be unfair for the good Reyga to be replaced with Reyfan.

📩Bang Nath

Do not be late to eat and take medication.

GWS Ra's.

Tiara smiled reading the message which was very flat and ordinary. There is no romance at all.

Tiara wiped her tears. He needs a friend to tell him a story and Nath comes at the right time.

He's my future husband, right? Maybe I should start now. Open with. So that we will get used to being together.

Tiara replied to Nath's message.

^^^ Everything, really.^^^

^^^I want a story, just brother Reyfan and his family came to propose to me.^^^

Message sent and read directly. Then before long his phone screen showed an incoming call.

Bang Nath is calling ...

Tiara answered the call.

"Hallo, Ra."

"Assalamualaikum, bang."

"Eh, yes. The waalaikumsalam." Nath laughed softly.

"He's coming, Ra?"

"Yes. Same with his family."

"Gil*T*. So determined is he. You accept?"

"Loh ... How is this? Said you want to marry me?" Tiara pretended to be shocked at Nath's question.

"Yes yes. So you refused, right?"

"Dad is also nolak."

"Alhamdulillah."

Tiara kept her phone away from her ears, as Nath yelled quite loudly.

Why does she seem so happy? Inner Tiara.

"Why so happy? Feeling victorious from Reyfan's sister, uh?"

"No. I don't think this is competition. Just feel there is no more barrier for me to take responsibility and keep my promise."

"Promise?"

"Yes. Promise to myself to make up for everything."

Silent....

"Bang ...."

"Ehm ...."

"You want to marry me just because of responsibility, right? I'm not sure we can live a married life so easily. Because marriage isn't about changing status, it's broader than that."

"How do we get used to living together, sleeping together, and how are we responsible as husband and wife." Tiara squeezed the blanket. He was nervous when he said this, but he thought it was very important to discuss.

Tiara could hear Nath laughing softly. "*You think it's a long way off, Ra?"

"Honestly, I can't imagine getting that far. I'm just living what's in front of me right now. Our parents' blessing is enough."

"I'm sorry that later what you received from me didn't match your expectations. My savings aren't enough to give you luxury."

"I'll get a job, maybe."

"I'll try as I can. May you patiently live with me who has nothing yet*."

Tiara was silent for a moment. "We're postponing this wedding, Bang. Because it seems like all this is weighing on you."

"We snooze and I'll hang papa on the mango tree behind the house" said Nath.

Tiara laughed when she heard Nath say something that she thought was funny because there was no way Akhtar would hang Nath on the mango tree.
