Exactly at night according to Axton's promise, he will come to Annabela's house with his family. Annabela and Mrs. Heni have prepared a banquet to welcome the Axton family.

Sitting room.

Annabela and the rest of the family gathered in the living room to await the arrival of Annabela's future husband.

However, there was no sign of Axton coming. Mrs. Heni and Annabela kept looking towards the gate of their house in the hope that Axton's car and his family would show up.

The clock on the wall kept turning to show it was 9:00 pm. Annabela, who had been waiting for so long, became restless, her heart became restless. Why hasn't Axton come until now?

Since then, Annabela has been holding her cellphone, several times she has opened it in the hope that there will be an incoming message from Axton. But Axton gave no news at all.

"Why isn't Axton coming too? Is he still on the road?" Annabela thought to herself. "Why do I suddenly feel bad? Did something happen to Axton? I should try to contact him" mixed feelings of restlessness and anxiety.

He then opened the screen of his cellphone which had looked dark. Annabela immediately looked for Axton's contacts and tried to reach him.

"Sorry the number you have dialed is not active" The operator's voice.

Annabela looked tense, her expression complicated "Why is Axton's number off? Arghhh... don't make me think like that." Annabela muttered. He tried to contact Axton for the umpteenth time.

Annabela called Axton several times, but it remained inactive. While the clock shows the exact time at 10:00 at night. There's no hope anymore, it looks like Axton won't come.

Annabela was shaking, her face was pale. He sat on the chair with tears in his eyes.

Mrs. Heni approached her favorite daughter, she stroked her daughter's shoulder "Dear ... what happened?" Mrs. Heni asked.

Annabela who had lowered her face, when she was spoken to by her mother, Annabela slowly lifted her face. Annabela's gaze was pitiful tonight.

Unknowingly her tears dripped down her soft cheeks "Mother" Annabela hugged her mother tightly.

Mrs. Heni returned Annabela's hug warmly, Mrs. Heni understood what Annabela was feeling right now. He won't ask again.

Annabela cried hysterically in her mother's arms. "Looks like Axton won't come, mom," she said. He was very sad about this incident, he felt himself being toyed with.

"You are patient, dear. Have you tried to contact Axton?" Mrs. Heni asked.

"Already mother, but the number is not active!" Annabela answered in a hoarse voice.

"Or... maybe Axton forgot to bring his cell phone?" guessed Mrs. Heni.

"Impossible, Mother. If he forgot to bring his cellphone, he can call me using another number. Doesn't he also know my number," explained Annabela.

"Your daughter shouldn't think like that just yet. We have to deal with this calmly. Remember, who knows something is going on with Axton and he purposely didn't tell you so you wouldn't worry"

He stroked his daughter's hair, trying to calm her daughter's fragile heart.

"It hurts mom, this is the first time Axton hasn't kept his promise. Why did he have to disappear on this very important day without you telling me?"

"You have to be strong dear" Mrs. Heni let go of her arms and held Annabela's shoulders. Mrs. Heni looked at her daughter's face with affection "See mother, you are a very strong and independent woman. So, don't make this problem to make you mentally weak." said Mrs. Heni with a smile. He then wiped Annabela's tears.

"But mother...!" Mrs. Heni immediately put her index finger in the middle of Annabela's lips while shaking her head.

"You can't be weak, sweetheart," he said back.
