Chapter 2. Marriage
Last Updated:
2021-08-29 11:14:26That afternoon, Zolan got the news that his father was hospitalized. He led a meeting to talk about building a new hotel in Bali. He immediately left the meeting after hearing the news. He didn’t care about the meeting anymore, and all his thoughts were full of his Father. He was apprehensive about his Father’s condition.
Zolan had arrived at the Hospital; he stood for a moment, took a deep breath, and strengthened his mind. He saw his Father lying weakly on the bed, he stared at the pale face, and it looked like his Father was sleeping soundly.
Zolan knew that his Father had kidney disease. He would be despondent if his Father left him because her mother had passed away since he was a kid. Zolan got so scared if his father was hospitalized in the Hospital. He couldn’t just calm down that he always wanted to be on his Father’s side.
Zolan held his Father’s hand that was wrinkled and felt so cold. Before meeting his Father, he met the doctor first to ask about his Father’s condition. Zolan had trusted the doctor to take care of his Father. The doctor said that his Father’s Kidney was getting worse. Zolan looked pensive in front of his Father because of that.
Zolan suddenly felt a slight movement from his Father’s hand; his face was trying to see Zolan. His father smiled at him because he didn’t want to look sad in front of Zolan.
With the remaining strength he had, Mr. Marfel tried to say something.
“Zolan, Dad wants you to get married!” said Mr. Marfel stumbled.
Zolan was surprised by his Father’s desire that he couldn’t say something. It made him speechless.
“My life won’t be long, Zolan. I want to see you get married before I go. Can you do it for me? I have chosen the right woman to be your wife. I’m sure you’ll love her”. Said Mr Marfel, and Zolan still didn’t give any response.
Zolan kept staring at the floor. He couldn’t believe that his life would be ruined because he didn’t want to marry someone else. However, he didn’t want to make his Father sad. He had to do it for his father, even though it was hard for him. Zolan loved his Father that he would do anything for his father.
“Well, Dad. I’ll get married to the woman that you have chosen for me”. Zolan smiled at his father, but he felt so much pain deep inside his heart.
“Her name is Aluna, and she’s the daughter of my close friend. Her mother passed away five months ago, so she’s living alone now. You’ll get married to her tomorrow in this room. I’ve prepared everything, so you need to prepare yourself.” Mr Marfel said with his weak voice.
Zolan was so shocked, “This is too soon, and I’m not ready yet.” Zolan’s inner voice. He pretended as if everything was fine.
“Yes, Dad, I’m ready anytime. I can do it today, Hahaha”. Said Zolan to make his Father smile.
“Trust me Son, She’s the right woman for you” Mr Marfel was holding Zolan’s hand.
Zolan smiled back at his Father. His father looked so happy that his son finally got married to the woman he had chosen.
“I’m sorry, Sindy! I love you so much, but I have to marry someone else” Zolan felt so sad.

Aluna was in her tiny room. She was still thinking about the testament because her mother had never talked about it before. She’s not ready yet to get married to someone she didn’t know. It was a testament from her mother, but she had to live her life with a stranger on the other side. Aluna was standing in front of the picture of her mother, which was hung on the wall. She took the picture, “Why did mom choose him as my partner? I don’t even know him. I just want to get married to someone I love, mom”. Aluna was crying in front of her mother’s picture. Aluna’s phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Fatma. “Hallo, Fatma!” Aluna picked up the call. She tried to calm down before talking to Fatma. “Aluna, where are you now? We have many orders. I need your help.” Said Fatma in a rush. “Ok, I’ll be there soon!” said Aluna. She wiped her tears. “You have to be strong, Aluna. Don’t be sad because you have so many things to do today.” Aluna tried to

That night was Zolan’s birthday, and it coincided with graduation day. Zolan was waiting for Sindy outside the gate. He had been waiting for an hour, but Sindy had not come yet. Zolan had called her several times, but she didn’t answer. Her phone number was not active anymore. He then opened the gate and came into her house. However, it looked like nobody’s home. He was standing in front of the door, calling out her name, but she was not at home. Zolan had been waiting for Sindy to come until now.

Aluna was looking at her room, “I won’t leave this room, there are so many memories I spent with mom in this room. I won’t bring all my staff.” Yesterday, when Aluna got the message from Mr Marfel, she tried to wake up and convince herself that everything was going to be fine. She realized maybe it was the best for her. Maybe after the marriage she will love him. Aluna also had told Fatma that today the cake shop was close. She couldn’t work in this situation.

Aluna folded the white paper in her hand. She was shocked after reading five points that welcome her arrival in this magnificent house. The room was too big for her to occupy alone. But what could she do, Aluna had to sleep here alone. "Alone again, it seems I was created to always be alone," Aluna thought, folding a small piece of paper and storing it in a ring box. Aluna stepped to sit in front of the mirror. Taking off the glasses she was wearing, freeing his hair from the tie, let it fall straight. Her eyes were closed, feeling the wind blowing against his body. He wanted a moment not to see the world. It's sad that fate had scratched it, it's not enough for a day to become a wife, and she had been shocked by the marriage rules made by Zolan. "Always alone, I've been alone since I was little! Mom is busy working to support me, until I can't fully get Mom's love. I'm not angry mom does it to make me happy with an affluent life. But as a child, I also need love!" A
