ELENA..YOUNG WIFE, MR. JUNA
TUJUBELAS.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, I did not dare to look at the faces of my parents. I'm afraid they'll be disappointed in me. Especially looking at Juna who just bowed lethargic made me want to get angry. He who had always looked quite confident could only remain silent like this.

" So you're willing to wait for me Len ? " , ask Kelvin.

He was happy, as if I really wanted to wait for him, when this was all my and Juna's plan to thwart this engagement.

I was still silent and trying to find out Juna's eyes. Juna was still reluctant to turn away, he seemed busy looking for a solution to this problem. But I don't know if he'll have a solution for this

" If so, how about Papa clarify the media if I'm Elena's future husband. The one getting married is me, Juna is just my deputy. Representing me for not being able to come yesterday" Kelvin continued enthusiastically

" Kid Kelvin, the invitation has been spread, it is impossible to cancel just like that", my father chimed in with the weight of Kelvin's proposal.

I know dad prefers the mature, established figure of Juna. Moreover, Juna is very expert in taking care of all business matters. I would benefit greatly if I had a daughter-in-law like Juna.

" Gapapa om, we can confirm if there is a printing error", all is still quiet no one mengubris Kelvin said.

" You think just by reason of misprinting can all be resolved? Kelvins.... Please grow up ", said papa Hendri.

" I'm sorry if I made this situation difficult, I know I was wrong not to tell you, but I'm sure marrying Elena is the right thing that was destined for us from the beginning" Kelvin said.

" That's enough!!" I said as I stood, everyone looked at me.

Now I see Juna's face inside.

His handsome face was wrapped in worry and helplessness. I understand it's hard for him too, Kelvin is his sister. And me, just a new outsider coming into his life.

" Mister Juna, there's nothing you want to say? ", many.

I still want Juna to keep me, hit his stupid sister, or whatever, all his actions will be supported by me. Just so he kept me

But no, Juna did not budge. He just kept quiet like a fool. Sure enough, what I expected of him. He doesn't like me. From the beginning he was just a widower who still loved his wife... And me?

What am I, maybe just a toy when he is bored or is missing his wife

Unfortunately me...I mourn my unlucky fate.

" Enough everything. No more discussion needed. I'm sorry I wanted to cancel this matchup, between Juna or Kelvin no one can match Elena Wijaya. Indeed I should have rejected this crazy idea from the beginning ", I bowed, trying to give a decent apology to both families.

From far away I saw the corner of Juna's lips finally lifted up showing a smile.

' fuck..why is he smiling!!!' pekikku in my heart.

There is a strange feeling in my heart, I should be happy if I have to marry Kelvin, at least he is my age and understand this situation. Instead of having to marry a widower who still remembers his late wife. The widower who married me just to maintain his status and position even money to find out the cause behind his wife's death.

But, if you don't marry Juna why does my heart hurt and I don't want to. I feel like I just want to marry Juna instead of the others.

But Kelvin wasn't wrong either, he just wanted a promise from his parents and my parents. If it ends up being this way, indeed fate is not on our side.

I finally set foot out of the Mulya family home. Without saying goodbye again, I stepped out in a bit of a hurry. In front of the outside door was a voice calling out to me from inside.

" Lenn... Wait a minute" I turned, Kelvin was standing there.

" Why are you doing this, why won't you marry me ? ", ask Kelvin again.

" I'm sorry ", I said slowly.

There's no reason why I should explain everything to Kelvin.

" Have you loved Kak Juna?", Kevin's question surprised me.

I'm not asking Kelvin's question.

" If so... You'll be very sorry Len." ' said Kelvin.

I just looked at him without saying anything.

" My sister, she still loves Anna, her late wife, you know about Anna?", asked Kelvin.

" I know about it" I replied.

" You know and you still want to marry her? You seem to have gone mad" Kelvin said.

" What do you really want to say?", I asked.

" If you still want to marry Juna, I'll make sure you'll be very sorry for Elena Wijaya" Kelvin said.

There's a threatening tone there.

" Thank you", I said.

I immediately ran towards the highway, looking for something I could ride on. Avoiding the gaze of Kelvin who was still watching me from a distance.

~Juna~

Kelvin returned to the dining room with a sad look, as if he had failed to convince Elena.

" Elena?" asked Mama Sherly.

" It's gone!!" answered Kelvin.

I smiled happily, a glimmer of hope if Elen really started loving me finally made me big head.

" Vin, please take care of it and let Elena go. Father, Mother I make sure Elena will still marry me", I said steadily staring at the faces of Mother and Father Elena in front of me.

Father and Mother seem quite calm.

" But Elena. ", mama Sherly said worriedly.

" I'll find and convince Elen... I-i promise. Please trust me" I said.

" Om.Agee . Ma's.. I'm sorry I made a fuss. I'm not gonna force Elena again. Juna seems to have captured Elena's heart" said Kelvin who was greeted by a hug from Sherly's mother

Now Mother and father Elena can smile again.

Now it's my job to just find Elena, convince her once more.

I was just silent actually just wanted to test Elena, would she accept Kelvin or still want to be with me. And yaa... I got the answer I wanted... Elena could she have started loving me too?

I know this is a crazy thing .. Getting that girl's heart makes me float, I feel so happy. I feel like he is my true love. Even though I was in love before her, but this time it was very different.

Long ago... Anna was the one who fought for me, yes, now I fight for Elena. If I had loved Anna for being used to being loved. Now I'm gonna make Elena fall in love with me because I love her.

I need to find Elena and convince her that I'm in love with her. I loved her.
