Just a Servant
Father's Decision

"Dad, if you love me, please don't break us up." My love finally pleaded.

We received father's gaze again. He seems to be thinking about what to do.

"Also, for my father, this marriage is not legal..."

"Then I want you how...?" I finally almost got desperate.

Actually, if I could, I wouldn't have to choose. I obviously don't want to lose Bagas, but I also want to be with my family.

"If you want everything not to change, just like it used to be.. precisely what should be questioned is you?" Father asked back.

"I don't want to lose Bagas, but I also want to be with my family... " Answer.

"If you.. What do you want?" Dad asked Bagas. As I stared at Bagas, I prayed that he would have the same thoughts as me.

"I will keep trying to keep my wife, no matter how..." Answer Bagas who instantly relieved me.

"Do you love her?" Ask dad.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Bagas for sure.

"You... Do you love her?" Ask dad to me. I nodded immediately.

"Are you willing to give up the name of Yudhishthira if I do not approve of your relationship...?" Ask dad again makes my heart seem to stop for a few seconds it feels, when you hear the words of father.

"Dad...!" Mom and I almost simultaneously.

"How's Anna?" Dad still asks for firmness.

And my tears are shedding. I didn't expect, dad really wanted us to split up.

"Dad. I can't lose Bagas..." My answer. Yes, with or without the name of Yudhishthira following my name, I will keep Bagas.

"You yourself...Are you relaikah she let go of her surname for you...?" Back dad asked Bagas who immediately gave him a dilemma.

"When I married her, I did not know that she was the family of Mr. Yudhistira, for me an ordinary Nurul was enough for me.

If later Nurul takes off Yudhistira's name to stay with me, it's basically not a problem for me. God willing, I can make him happy even if we are not supported by the Yudhishthira family.

It's just that I thought, regardless of the great name of Mr. Yudhistira or not, it would be more complete Nurul's happiness, if behind him there was a family who would support him other than me...." Answer Bagas at length.

"Then your own master... will you let go of Nurul...?" Bagas asked back. For a moment the two looked at each other.

"No. I've already lost him... " Absaid dad then while turning to look at me.

"Then...?" I don't know what Dad means.

Me, Bagas and mom kept quiet and kept staring at me, waiting for my decision to be conveyed.

"Does that mean you accept their marriage?" Ask her finally impatient.

"No. to me their marriage remains invalid..." Father paused his words with a hanging tone and looked at us alternately.

"Because of that... ?" I even held my breath unconsciously, waiting for my father to continue his words. Dad's eyes seemed to blink wittyly as he realized our incongruity was waiting for him to continue his speech.

"Because of that, I want you to remarry...!" Breakup dad.

Me and Bagas exchanged looks.

Marrying again?

"Dad wants you to remarry. With the right identity, so that there are no problems later on..." Father said, but now his tone did not sound indifferent anymore. But more inclined to demand.

"Bagas, if you seriously want my son to be your wife. Go home and bring your parents here. I can't let go of my son to a man whose descendants are unclear.... " Subsequently father.

A father always wants to make sure his son will always be in a good environment. He certainly wants to make sure, if the man who will continue the responsibility of taking care of his son is a man from a good family as well.

Then, what should we do now? Is by following my father's request, it means I can't go with Bagas? It seems like it is... However fast the process of preparing a wedding, it feels will not be completed in just two days. Unless it's just a serial wedding like we did yesterday. But I'm sure it's not the kind of marriage you want for me.

"How, mas?" I asked Bagas. Mas Bagas seems to have understood what father meant. Therefore, hearing my question, he was already able to smile.

"Yes already.we go back to the process of dating first, Nur..." He said while holding my hand.

"All right, Mr. Yudhistira... If that's what you want. I will coordinate our marriage with the family..."

"Hum..." Mumbled dad.

"Mas Bagas... Then what about the healing process of Bagas mas foot?" My toot.

"Yes, of course, I will still do the therapy.Just for the implementation, I have to reconsider..." Answer Bagas, still playing with my fingers and palms on his lap.

"If I may propose, you should first go through your healing process. Once you're healthy, you just came here with your whole family to decide your wedding day."

"Can I come with you?" I asked once again, trying to net my luck. Who knows, you changed your mind... 😂 But it turns out the answer...

"No. You still can't go anywhere... "

"But yeah, I promised his mother that Bagas would always accompany him in his healing..."

"Then your wedding moves... " Challenge father.

"Guess up to you, which one you're going to start... Get married first or go to China first..."

Unconsciously I was scowling. How not? Because the truth is, whatever our choice is, it's basically the same. The point is we have to split up for a while. Whether it's waiting for the healing process, or waiting for the wedding preparation process.

Akhhhh. just thought about going apart while it made me sad and not feel good. We were not together long ago.

"How is this, um...?" Ask me sad.

Really, I want to rebel, reject father's decision. But my common sense and my conscience say that what my father decided was right. Dad did it just because he loved me. He wants to guarantee my next life's happiness.

"Well, how else..." Sahut mas Bagas follow not willing, but also can not do anything but follow the wishes of the father.

"You think what's the best you're supposed to do... I'm gonna take a break..." Said Dad while getting up from his chair.

I silently looked at the father who was walking out of the room followed by the mother. Mas Bagas too.

"We talked about this in our room..." Bagas then broke the silence between us. I did not answer, but I got up and followed Bagas to the room.
