" Lho.... He said to take a walk? How much cepet really son?" , said mother to Arjuna.
I didn't want to mind them, and then I immediately left them and walked quickly towards my room
" I'm sorry, but Elena seems to be mad at me, maybe I made Elena uncomfortable, so she's angry" Juna said.
" I'm sorry Elena, son, Understand, she's an only child here, her ego is a little high and yes as Juna wants to see, she's very spoiled", Mother chimed in.
I could still hear their conversation, and I became even more resentful towards Juna. He's really very pick me.
I slammed the door of my room, closing it violently. Well, I don't want to hear anything else that Juna and my mother have talked about
In the room I just pecked, laying on the soft sofa where I used to read books. I was so upset today, going out with Juna just made me mad. I am so sorry to take him out.
For a very long time, I just kept quiet, for some reason I couldn't think of anything else.
The sun began to set, a tinge of red light seemed reluctant to leave today, it was also fixated on the boundary of the horizon. I looked out the window. There was a shadow of Juna who was very handsome, but suddenly there was a silhouette of a tall woman shadow beside Juna.
' Anna, ' I whispered in silence, though I never saw the woman's face. For a moment the shadow of the imagination faded.
I grabbed my phone, opened my browser and searched for biodata from an Arjuna Mulya. He's a famous person, there must be a digital trace about his marriage to Anna. Before long I found various articles and photos of Arjuna. Although already aged three heads, for me who is classified as young, I can not deny he is very handsome, looks authoritative and has his own charisma that I can not explain.
Juna's wedding photo arrived - came out, I saw the figure of Anna who was talked about by Arjuna, very beautiful, slim body with a height as high as a model. Arjuna was crazy about his late wife.
When compared to me, of course we are both beautiful. Egoku as a woman, does not want to lose to others. But indeed we have a different charm, Anna is beautiful with her adult impression that stands out, while I am, beautiful with a calm and innocent image.
' Hhahhha ' ', I laughed to myself.
It's weird to realize that I'm a narcissist 😅, too
When reading the article about Anna's death, there was written a police investigation statement that the brake cable of the car that Anna was riding in was deliberately cut, which was the main cause of the accident that killed her. It's a pity that Anna and her driver's body can't be worn anymore, only a necklace and wedding ring attached to her body that assures that the corpse is Anna, Juna's wife.
There was something strange when I read this article, but I didn't want to interfere more deeply, I threw away my curiosity.
' It is fitting that Arjuna investigates this peculiarity', I weigh in again.
I can't marry her.
He still has not ended up with his past. Marrying her would only make my life suffer.

The night of the family meeting officially came, the night I didn't want to go through.
Tonight my matchmaking fate was decided. This time not at my house, we rented a luxurious room in one of the famous Restaurants. As if to tell the world if the two distinguished families would unite and make the rest envious.
" Daughter Elen, so beautiful" , Aunt Sherly welcomed me and my Mother with the prettiest smile I've ever seen.
I can see if Aunt Sherly tonight is performing so elegantly and luxuriously. I don't know why if I see Aunt Sherly, I feel comfortable and shady. Aunt Sherly does have a very positive vibe.
" Thank you aunt... Aunty is also very beautiful, until I'm ashamed", I tried to praise her.
" Right, you don't seem to be aging" said my mother.
Aunt Sherly then laughed proudly and ended up chatting with my mother. I saw Hendri Mulya also busy chatting with Dad.
" Pardon Juna's delay, he was very busy meeting today" Hendri Mulya said.
" Ahh, Juna did work hard, just like you when you were young" Dad chimed in.
I grabbed the phone from my little bag, it's 19:45, I saw the text message last time with Juna, he just laughed at that time. I heard Aunt Sherly was boasting of Arjuna, who had a house of her own so when we got married I would stay at Arjuna's house.
" Juna was spending more time in the apartment, so even though we were her parents, we also rarely met her" Sherly said.
I am a little amused to hear it, though,
' Naturally dong, if Juna has his own privacy, he has been married and is no longer young', I speak inwardly.
I smiled a little.
Then I suddenly remembered the words said Juna who threatened me with the consequences if he wanted to marry her is to have to give birth to a child who will be the successor of these two great families united.
' You little, flirtatious and perverted old man' ', swear me in the heart.
A few minutes passed, and Arjuna arrived.
As usual, he wore a work coat and dressed up in my eyes. But I can't let go of the fact that he's so handsome. He apologized for the delay, as there was a lot to take care of at the office.
" I'm sorry, it turns out that this meeting is a little delayed, so I'm late" said Arjuna. Then he sat right in front of me.
" Nahh, everything has been gathered, now I want to convey the intention of the Mulya family to propose Elena Wijaya as the wife of Arjuna" , Om Hendry looks serious but still shows the face of his wife.
I looked towards Arjuna he was still staring blankly and flatly. I'm more and more convinced to do this, it's for our good.
" Arjuna, are you sure son, you can make Elena happy?", asked my Mother.
Mommy though looks ordinary, but I'm sure, He most want to see me happy.
" Of course, Juna must make Elena happy, I'm Jun", Hendri Mulya chimed in.
Arjuna smiled blankly and nodded.
I see him as a coward. Then I threw away his face.
" Thank God, even though this is our idea, the matchmaking we make, but the happiness of the children is still number one" said my father.
" Son Elen, receiving Arjuna's proposal isn't it?", Aunt Sherly spoke to me.
I was a little surprised
Mom and Dad smiled at me expectantly, I'm sure they won't like hearing my answer after this.
