Aleysa's Father's Request

How worried Aleysa and Catline are with their Father's current condition. Moreover, their Father both looked very worried. His condition was very weak, not like the usual who always looked cheerful. But this time their Father looked very gloomy and someone was being held back from the pain. They both are also very worried about their Father because the only Father they both have right now.

"Dad. What do you want? Let Aleysa get it. Dad, don't get out of bed like this."

"Yes, Dad. You're still not recovering."

"I don't want anything. But what hit you here?"

"Daddy, why ask that person? He is the one who made you like this. Why did you ask him?" asked Catline who was very emotional when she heard about the person who had hit her Father.

"Dad just wants to meet him. Please call him here, darling."

"But, Dad. Why did Father call him here? It's better for you to rest now, okay?"

"It's okay. You'd better call that person here. Poor Dad. Don't you feel sorry for Dad?"

Catline looked at her Father's very limp face. Catline, who initially did not agree if her Father wanted to meet the person who had hit her, now Catline agrees. It was all for her Father.

"Well then, Catline called the person here first, okay?"

"Yes, darling. Thank you very much."

"Yes, Dad. You're welcome."

Catline came out of her Father's room to call Hans. The one who hit her Father.

*******

Outside Aleysa and Catline's Father's room.

Before Catline called Hans to go inside, Mother from Hans arrived to help Hans solve this problem. Mother from Hans was willing to not attend an important meeting this time because she didn't want Hans to be involved.

"Hans. Oh my God. Where is the victim now? How is he?" asked Hans's Mother.

"The victim has been treated by the Doctor, Mom. Now he is being visited by his children. Because he wants to meet his children."

"Thank God he's still safe. Later, I will let Mother talk to that person. People like that will definitely ask us for a lot of money in the end. Let Mother give that person a lot of money later."

"But, Mom. What if that person doesn't want money and still wants to sue me to the police?"

"I won't. Mommy will guarantee it. You just entrust everything to Mothrt."

"Well then Mom."

Not long after, Catline came out of her Father's room. Hans who saw it immediately asked the person he had hit.

"How is your Father doing? Is your Father okay? Is he okay?"

"Father wants to see you. Please come in."

"I... That's okay then. Iwill go inside first, Mom."

"Mommy's coming too."

"Me too."

"Well then, come on."

Finally, not only Hans entered the room, but his Mother and Emily as well. When Hans and the others entered the room, Aleysa and Catline's Father greeted them with a smile. It made Hans feel even more guilty for bumping into him.

"Oh my gosh. How can this Father still smile at me. Even though I have made him like this. I feel even more guilty for this Father," said Hans in his heart.

"It's you who hit me earlier huh?" asked Aleysa's Father and Catline.

"I.... Yes, Sir. I'm really sorry for you. I'm sorry that I was driving so bad that I hit you earlier. Once again I apologize, Sir. And I beg you, don't report me to the police. Yes, Sir."

"Yes, Sir. If you need anything, just tell me. I am Hans's Mother. Do you need money? How much do you need? I will definitely give it to you today. Don't worry."

His Father Aleysa and Catline just smiled at the offer from Hans and his Mother just now.

"Why are you even laughing? What's so funny, Sir?" asked Hans.

"I don't need your money."

"Then what do you need? Just tell me, Sir."

"I'm just worried about my children."

"Oh well, then your two children, let us take care of all the necessities of life."

"No. That's not what I wanted."

"Then what do you want? Just tell me, Sir. I promise, I will comply with all your requests. As long as you don't report me to the police, Sir."

"You promise you will do whatever I ask?"

"Yes, Sir. I promise."

"I just want you to marry my daughter, Aleysa."

Everyone in the room was shocked. Especially Aleysa. Aleysa was suddenly ordered by her Father to marry a man she did not know. Even that man was the one who had hit her Father.

"Dad? What's wrong with this Dad. Why should I marry him? I don't know him, Dad," Aleysa replied.

"Yeah, Dad. Dad, that's right. He's the one who hit Dad. But the time when Dad actually matched Aleysa's sisyter," continued Catline.

"Yes, siir. Is there no other choice? Is there no other request I can make except this one?"

"Yes, Sir. Don't be like this, he asked. Because Hans already has a girlfriend. His future wife. That is myself, Sir," Emily replied with emotion because her lover wanted to be married off by someone else.

"You promised me earlier that you will do whatever I ask so I don't report you to the police. For Aleysa and Catline, this is all for you, darling. Because I'm sure you two will live happily with Hans. So what? You accept all this, right, Hans?"

Just silent. Hans was confused about what to answer this time. Hans was confused about what decision to make this time. Hans didn't want to marry a woman he didn't love. Because the only woman he loves all this time is Emily. But Hans also didn't want to go to jail because of this case. In the end, it was his Mother who made the decision on this matter.

"It's okay Hans. You just accept this marriage."

Emily, who did not agree with Hans' Mother's decision, immediately spoke up.

"Aunty, Aunty, is that right? Hans is my future husband. Right now, Hans is married to someone else, Aunty. So what will happen to me, Aunty?"

"What can you do? There's no other choice, right. Hans. You have to marry that woman. Or do you want to be locked up in prison?" said his Mother, whispering to Hans.

Hans was still confused. But indeed there is no other way but to marry Aleysa if he does not want to be in prison. Until finally Hans accepted the request.
