Alicia fell silent and looked at her parents alternately then heaved a heavy sigh. "Oh, I refuse this match. I'm not ready to marry young and I don't want to marry a man I don't know." Alicia turned around and left her father's room. His mother's call was not at all he listened to and continued to walk away.
"His son wants to match me with an unknown person. Why don't I sell, use all-fetched events?" His grunt while walking towards his room.
Adhit and Clara are busy with their own thoughts. Long enough they remained silent until Clara opened the sound of tearing the silence between the two of them.
"So how is Mas? I had expected him to reject her immediately." Clara looked at her husband with a serious look.
"This match cannot be undone. Because Mas is sure, Reihan will be a good husband to our daughter." Adhit raised his eyes and looked at his wife right in Clara's eyeballs. "You better try to persuade him. There is no refusal for this match." Adhit emphasized his words with a sharp look. This means that all of this is absolutely indisputable.
Who's Adhit? Clara knows how her husband is. The man was once completely uncontested. Every decision can always be made. No words failed on his dictionary. If it fails, he will try to fix it and try to succeed. So when he heard his daughter's rejection earlier, the man almost exploded with anger. Seen from his tightened jaw and his extremely sharp gaze.
Clara sighed "Alright, I will try to persuade her to accept this matchmaking."
"Go!" Adhit dropped his body on the seat of his greatness and turned the chair back to his wife.
Clara looked at her husband who was behind her and walked away. She knew her husband was angry and didn't say much.

The sky was dark, the omen of the king of the night had come. In Alicia's room pensively, she felt familiar with the name of the man mentioned to be betrothed by her father earlier. Alan, however, did not remember the man at all.
"Who is he? Why do I feel like I've heard his name?" Mumbled slowly. Before long the door of his room opened revealing the beautiful figure of his mother who was standing straight in the doorway.
"Can mommy come in?" Ask Clara.
"Of course mom, why use permission anyway? I want to go into someone else's room." Tirap Alicia with a smile.
"Well, you know? Mommy can't go into your room." Clara laughed softly and stepped inside her daughter's room.
"Mommy is - there is. What's up, dear mommy? Do you want to talk about that?" As if he could guess the purpose of her mother's arrival, Alicia immediately asked like that.
Clara froze as her goal was read by this daughter. The woman immediately smiled stiffly and sat on the edge of the bed that was also being occupied by Alicia.
"Oh." Clara tried to clear her throat which was suddenly dragged. "Yes, mommy wants to talk about the problem." Clara answered honestly and noticed her daughter's reaction.
Seeing her son calm down and not commenting, Clara continued. "Are you seriously willing to refuse this match?"
"I initially refused. Because first, I'm not ready to get married young. Second, I don't know the man yet." Alicia paused her words. "But when I got to my room I felt like I had heard the man's name. Have I ever met him before?"
Clara gasped when she heard her daughter's statements and questions. Does she really not remember that Reihan helped her first? "What do you think? Have you ever met her?" Clara tried to provoke her son's memory, though it would be difficult because the incident was so long ago.
Alicia tries to remember her past, but she finds no memory of Reihan at all. "I can't remember it. Does mommy know anything? Do I really know him?" Ask Alicia streak.
Somehow his feelings said that he knew the man. However, he did not know when and where he met the man. Alicia looked at her mother for an explanation.
Clara looked at her daughter as if she was reminiscing about the past. "Do you remember when you were almost kidnapped and helped by a man?"
Alicia was silent at her mother's question. Instantly a shadow as he was chased by thugs and cried alone in the streets. Suddenly a car stopped and a man with a handsome face out of the car tried to calm him down. Then bring himself home safely.
But he realized, tears just flowed down his cheeks when he remembered the incident. "So she?"
"Who is she, baby?" Clara pretended not to be connected to what her daughter said and waited for Alicia to explain the details.
"The man that daddy and mommy made a match with me was the man who helped me once. Aren't we?" Clearly accompanied by a question to convince the answer just now.
Clara smiled and rubbed her daughter's cheeks wet with tears. "You're right, honey. That's why daddy was determined to match you with him. Because daddy is sure, he can be a good husband for you. Mommy also agrees that you marry her."
Clara pulled her daughter into her arms and rubbed her back gently. "So how? Still want to refuse?" The successful temptation of Clara made her daughter blush and pursed her lips flat.
"That means yes, because mommy's son has hinted at it." Clara did not stop teasing her daughter who was getting flushed like a tomato and was unable to make a sound.
Clara chuckled amusedly at the expression of her daughter. "So desperately shrugged. Now I cannot speak. Geez." The temptation of Clara is becoming. This made Alicia even more angry.
"Mommy, what's wrong?" Alicia looked at her mother flat with a smile on her face. Making Clara instantly stop laughing and sigh deeply.
"Alright, sorry yes from earlier mommy seduce you continue." Clara stroked her daughter's hair full of affection.
"Is daddy mad because I refused this match?" He asked, because he had felt the sharp gaze of his father when he refused the match.
"Hmm, you sure know how daddy." Alicia nodded her head because she knew how her father was. "Everything, mommy is here to talk about all this as you are." Imbuh Clara with her daughter's hand.
"Married it is also a field of worship for women. By obeying your husband and doing the commandments of God. Then heaven will you get and can enter from any door."
His mother's words seemed to brighten Alicia's mind about marriage. At first he did not intend to marry young, now somehow the girl wanted to marry young.
"Then I'm willing to marry her." Said Alicia timidly, really after knowing who the man she was betrothed to. His heart seemed to be turned upside down and accepted the match with all his heart.
"Are you serious honey?" Ask Clara to make sure.
"I'm serious mommy. I want to marry him." Alicia's face was already reddened in embarrassment at her confession.
"Okay, okay. Mommy will tell daddy about your willingness." Clara smiled happily at her son's decision. "Now we go down yuk, your brothers must have eaten."
