Chapter 31

"You need to make up your mind soon Joshua, especially now that someone has come between us!"

Joshua didn't move. Stunned. What did he get into? Nadia's problem is not over yet, something new has come that has made her mind even more confused.

"That's all I meant to you, Joshua. To tell you to hold me accountable... I won't say anything else... your conscience is your enemy if, despite everything that happened to us, not you can make the right decision!" Last sentence Annaliza said before walking away.

Joshua remained sitting in that place. Even though Annaliza has been gone for a long time. Because he can't make up his mind.

He did not expect the woman's next move. He informed his parents who intervened between them. ---Annaliza has one request for Joshua's parents. Joshua held the girl accountable.

That night, Mang Donato intended to wait for Joshua's arrival. It wants to talk to the child. "You've come Joshua... sit down first so we can talk!* Joshua sat down.

"What are we going to talk about, Dad?" "About Annaliza, she has already confessed to

us that someone came between you... is it true?" Curiosity

Mang Donato said.

"Did I have a bad mind that night, Dad?" "You answer my question Joshua?" Mang Donato agrees. "Did someone intervene?

you and Annaliza?" The young man nodded. "Yes!"

"In that case, what Annaliza said is true. There's nothing better than making her responsible Joshua?" "Dad... I don't love Annaliza!"

"Then...why didn't you avoid him. You used to ignore him. Now...how can you refuse him...what if what you did pays off!" Mang Donato said angrily.

Joshua was stunned. Bowed down. How is that? This is the question he asked himself.

"Nadia is still my beloved Father!"

"That's pure love... forget about Nadia. He's already married... one more thing he's done with anything that gets in the way of between you two. She is studying to forget you, so you should do the same.." Mang Donato became even more angry. "But..." Joshua could not continue

to say He can't reason with his father "Marry Annaliza, Joshua... that's what you should do. Don't disobey me... honor and manhood are at stake son!"

"Y-Yes Father..." Joshua agreed. He agreed. He knows when the father is angry. He certainly wouldn't like what that would do. Then he stood up. "I'm going to rest in my room."

When Joshua was gone, Annaliza came out of hiding, along with Joshua's younger sister, Lilibeth.

Annaliza's eyes were talking. Thanks to Mang Donato. Because it was understandable. Became a gentleman.

The next day, Annaliza visits Joshua. A sweet smile immediately appeared on the girl's lips. But those smiles immediately disappeared because Joshua did not respond.

"You succeeded, Annaliza.... you even used my parents in your plan to claim me!"
