Back to a few months before, exactly when Refano had an accident shortly after getting out of a cafe. Because his mind is too chaotic to make Refano lose control of his car so accidentally hit the road barrier.
Many people are swarming, but no one tried to help until finally came an unexpected figure who without much to say immediately broke the glass Refano car in order to open the door of his car and save Refano immediately. Since then Refano's views have changed slightly to that figure. However, that does not mean Refano opened his heart just like that to a figure who is none other than Merlyn.
Merlyn is also increasingly taking an approach. Not infrequently, Merlyn visited her to deliver lunch. But Refano remained cold until one day Refano realized, already more than a week a figure who usually almost every day came to visit him that suddenly disappeared like swallowed by the earth. No news. Completely disappearing made Refano involuntarily feel lost.
His bland life felt empty. There is no gai rah. Especially after one by one the people closest to him left. Including the mother who died after her former operation had an infection to decay. She is also officially divorced from Saskia. Zafira, Refani, and her children have found happiness. Remain in the void.
And now ... Merlyn also disappeared complete his empty life.
Back to the present, now,
"You why? Why did you suddenly change? You always teased me before? Bothers me even though I don't like it. Said I was your soul mate. But you ... actually want to get engaged to someone else. And now you're venting your frustration on everyone for the failure of your engagement. What do you really want, huh? Why are you acting like this? Is it because you think I'm worth playing? After I've learned to open my heart, you're just gonna throw me away? Fuckkk!" jikak Refano is upset.
Even unknowingly he had slammed his fist against the wall right beside Merlyn's head making the girl's face pale and slow, his tears fell, making Refano unable to bear and then pulled him into his arms.
"You really why? Why did you suddenly disappear? Explain to me!" pinta Refano who has now stretched his embrace. The sight of the still foggy Merlyn netra. I don't know what made the cheerful girl instantly turn out like this. I don't know what Refano really feels right now for the girl. But he could not look, his heart ached to see the girl who looked so fragile.
"I-i ... " Merlyn tergugu's. He did not know where to start talking because he only knew this fact. The fact that turned out to be deliberately removed from his parents' memory in order to maintain his sanity so as not to fall back.
"I what? Don't beat around!" refano's assertive begin to get upset hoping Merlyn will talk to him.
Suddenly Merlyn pushed Refano's chest away. An unprepared position makes Refano's hand that grips his shoulder come off.
"Don't touch me! I'm dirty. I ... I'm disgusting. I'm .. I'm a dirty woman. Don't touch me. No ... "
Merlyn tried to run away, but Refano swiftly pulled back her wrist and took her to another, more deserted place.
"Deliver, mas! Don't touch me. I'm dirty. I'm disgusting. Stay away from me!" merlyn's jolt tried to rebel from Refano's clutches. But Refano actually increased his grip. Merlyn thrashed to get Refano to release himself, but Refano actually clutched the girl's body which turned out to vibrate violently.
"Mas, you heard I'm not dirty. Don't touch me. I. hmmppph ... "
Not wanting to listen to Merlyn's increasingly uncontrollable raving, Refano then scooped his lips and grabbed him. At first it was a little rough, but gradually the kiss changed gently to make Merlyn fall asleep even though she was unable to reply at all because it was her first kiss.
"It's quiet?" refano asked after letting go of his kiss. Both breaths are still burning. Merlyn's face was already flushed like a Padang-sauce crab, red, but it looked beautiful.
"Come, the city sits there and tells me exactly what happened until you acted like this?" take Refano while gently pulling Merlyn's arm to follow him and sit on the grass. The stars seemed to be scattered in the sky adding to the beauty of the night.
"Come, tell me! Nothing is covered. I'll listen to it."
"But ... " No time Merlyn had finished her sentence, Refano had sharpened the look in her eyes making Merlyn swallow her own saliva.
Merlyn sighed. Then his memory goes back to a month ago. The day she was supposed to make her engagement. The real engagement was not her wish, but she had no way to refuse. He can only refuse if he can introduce a lover to his parents. But whatever the power, he doesn't have a lover. He wanted to ask Refano, but seeing Refano's always cold attitude to him after all his efforts so far tried to melt him made him pessimistic. Eventually, he was forced to accept his match with James, a producer who was also his boss on Star TV.
The flashback
"Where are your mom and dad?" asked James that night 1 hour before the engagement began.
"In papa's study perhaps," replied Merlyn indifferently. He felt annoyed. Why is James so determined to be engaged to her. He knew he had no feelings for the man. James was a calf in their village. James' father and Merlyn's father were good friends, which is why Merlyn's parents were so supportive of their matchmaking.
James did not feel any problem with Merlyn's indifference. Because there was something he wanted to talk to Merlyn's parents about, James immediately headed to Merlyn's parents' office. James had often visited the house so he had memorized the layout of all the rooms in the house, including Merlyn's father's workspace.
James had just wanted to knock on Merlyn's father's study, but their conversation in the room caught his attention, so he pegged on the spot.
"But pa, according to mama we should tell you from the beginning about Merlyn. Mama doesn't want them to think we're cheating on them for not saying that Merlyn's not holy anymore."
"Ma, papa understands my mother's worries, but not now. What if James suddenly cancels this engagement. Let it go first. If necessary until Merlyn has legitimately become James' wife. Papa's sure, James would have accepted Merlyn as she is. Moreover, James has loved Merlyn since adolescence," said Merlyn's father tried to calm the wife.
Prong ...
Hearing the sound of a falling glass made the couple surprised. They immediately opened the door to see what had happened and their eyes suddenly opened when they saw the existence of James who had been pecking at the door. So did Merlyn who had frozen with her blank gaze until she subconsciously dropped the glass she had previously held.
"YOU'RE ALL CHEATS." Snapped James wrathful. Then he set his eyes on Merlyn who was still staring with his empty mind. He really had trouble digesting what his parents meant. "And you .. I didn't expect for years to have loved a cheap girl like you. Holy oomph. Hypocritical. Sok always rejects me, but reveals your body to another man. Cih, disgusting!" James's touch with a disgusted expression. Then without a word, James left Merlyn's house by inviting all his family members. Leaving confusion in the minds of other family members.
