• The night before.

Daniel could not sit quietly tonight.His heart was riled thinking about the bad possibilities that would happen to his relationship, "Oh my God. "his moan was so stressful.

He watched as his phone rang by a phone call from his future wife. However, he did not have the guts to talk to the woman. The panic and uneasiness within him, made him weak and chose to be alone.

" I'm sorry. I'm just afraid I can't answer what you're going to ask me "he said weakly, staring at the still-lit phone screen in front of him.

A few hours had passed and Daniel had been in a state of anxiety all along. He immediately came out of his bedroom when he heard some people who went to Elin's house. Now it's back.

However, his pace slowed down as the conversation he heard. And he realized that there was still his mother's cry there. And that means it's getting worse.

Daniel stopped his steps and went back to the bedroom, "I'm sorry my mother lin. I know right now you must be very disappointed "he said weakly.

" And I will not insist if indeed you cannot forgive this mistake "so desperate.

Turn off the lights in his bedroom, so it does not leave a little light. Maybe being in the dark will make him calmer, he thought.

Lay her fragile body on the bed, trying to keep herself closed. However, his efforts were like futile, every time he wanted to close his eyes every single one of those were also the shadows of the woman he loved so much would be present in his mind, his heart ached imagining his woman crying at this moment and he disliked it the most.

" Oh my God. Why would something like this happen to my relationship. I really don't want my marriage to fail just because it's "weak.

Clamps "door room arrived open. And he chose to remain silent in the dark, even though he realized that someone was now behind the door of his bedroom.

" Meili "inner, knowing that behind the door is her sister.

The door was closed again, and his mind went back to chaos. There was nothing else in his mind other than his current woman. How he is. what his condition is and for sure, he wants to be there to be a shoulder and give peace when his woman cries. But it was like a punishment for him. How can he give you peace. While his own parents caused the cry.

" I'm sorry, honey. Forgive my parents "the railing is hoarse. With a chest that feels very tight.

Daniel moved from his bed. He can't just be quiet like this. But also can't do anything. However, his longing for Elin was so great, even so great.

Daniel was silent for a moment, when he realized his body was now in front of a house that became the residence of his future wife.

Love really makes him forget himself. Not even aware of what he has done.

" Mister Daniel "cried someone from behind the fence. The man quickly opened the gate by the side of the gate. Then it moved closer to its existence.

" sir. Comein. Why stand here " said the man. The man who works as a security guard at Elin's house. And luckily the man recognized the face of the man who would become the future husband of the easy lady in his house. If not, when Daniel is being suspected of being a thief.

Daniel is confused at the moment. What will he do, while he still wants to be there. It is also impossible to enter the house. Or rather unable to if you have to meet the Elin family, after just making them disappointed. And he had no reason to come at such a late time like this.

" Sir may I ask for your help" he told the security guard. And the man nodded, "What's the matter, sir ? ".

" Don't tell anyone that I came here "he asked. Although the middle-aged man seemed confused but still agreed to his wishes, "good sir ".

" Will you stay here ? " ask the man.

Daniel finally realized. He also cannot continue to be there, "I just want to see my future wife" he said.

" I just want to be here to make sure he's asleep" she said.

" Maybe you can wait there. If the room light is turned off, it means that Miss has fallen asleep "he explained to Daniel.

" Under the room was also a park bench. So you can sit there waiting for the lady to fall asleep.

" Is it okay for me to be there ? "

" Of course sir. You would-be husband "saturpam.

" Good thanks sir. Then it'll sit there until she falls asleep ".

" Yes up to the master himself. Want to arrive tomorrow is also not what "sawut middle-aged man is like.

Daniel walked into the yard of his lover's house. Towards the place that the security guard in the house meant.

" It's strange how young people are today. Or love a bule like this yes " muttered the security guard while looking at the body of Daniel who continues to walk towards the location of the bedroom Elin.

Daniel was still sitting in the garden chair staring at the window that was still open and bright by the lights that had not been turned off. He doesn't know what's going on with his wife right now. But certainly with what is happening has made the woman can not fall asleep.

The day was getting late and it was even morning, when Daniel saw the alroji in his hand that had shown at half-three in the morning. But the room he was waiting for wasn't dark yet, "honey you must be so disappointed that you can't sleep "he murmured anxiously.

The night air increasingly pierced his bones, but did not make him want to move from his current place. He just decided to put his hands in the pocket of the jacket he was currently using, to make his body a little warmer.

His eyes began to sleep. But still he forced it to continue to open until the bedroom of his lover is dark. But unfortunately his tired body could not resist his drowsiness and slowly Daniel began to fall asleep on a park bench in front of his lover's bedroom.

Clamps

Slowly the door opened. Showing a weak body with puffy eyes.

" Elin" cried Green and Amel together. While Mala quickly approached her daughter, "You eat yes. I've prepared your favorite porridge "excited Mala. However, Elin shook her head.

" Elin is not hungry ma'am "he said weakly.

" But you have to eat Elin "snapsed Green.

" What happened to Daniel ? " ask the weak woman.

Green and Amel fell silent for a moment and slowly took a breath, "Now everyone is looking for Elin. It's all so fucked up. He punishes himself when he finds out you're like this" Green said. Which deliberately adds a little lie so that the woman does not continue to hurt herself.

" Everyone panics thinking about you and him. Since last night there have been countless times that Mami Viona has been unconscious. She was so depressed, too, Elin. While Meili continued to cry "added Amel with a face he made as fondly as possible. Though his eyes occasionally glanced at Green.

" I'm sorry Elin. We're forced to do this "inner Green.

" Mom just prepare the food. Elin's gonna eat "pinta Green on Mala.

" Don't force Green. I really don't want to eat anything anymore "

" No you have to eat. I'll bribe you. You can't keep going like this Elin. If you continue like this, we won't all know what else will happen to the Remkez family. Everyone in the family is punishing themselves. And brother Daniel, until now we don't know where he is and how he is" Green said so sadly. Although there were some parts that he deliberately made more drama so that the woman in front of him did not get more prolonged in grief and made him think that there were many people who were also devastated by his condition, and he was not getting worse, if he chooses to continue like that.

" Once again forgive me Lin "inner Green.
