When Aini was just about to come home from Dave's office, for the next few days she would go to campus for her thesis business, she already found Leo in front. As usual, he waited with his arms folded across his chest and an expression filled with personal satisfaction. Please keep in mind the style of sitting on the car as if to show off that a car like that will only be owned by him. 
Aini couldn't help but shake her head upon seeing this, hurriedly walking towards Leo to make him aware of what she was trying to do. Instead of listening to Aini who hadn't even said anything, suddenly Leo had hugged her very tightly. In their position to attract the attention of passers-by, Aini's friends from the office were used to such things, Leo suddenly whispered very softly. 
"Why is it like that, Aini? Smile. There's someone watching us. Do you want someone to suspect us?”
“Quickly, just say what you wanted by coming here.” Leo chuckled softly, only Aini could hear his voice. And it can't be denied that the voice sounds very cunning. Finally, Leo decided to let go of the hug and stroked Aini's cheek, as if trying to observe her and take good care of her. 
"Tonight, we are a family, we have an event, we eat together. Because of that, Hendramo told me to come pick you up.”
“Father… what?” Aini, who had been released from Leo's arms, took a few steps back because she was shocked. What else could his father want by calling a family? “Are Nadine and the others coming?”
“Of course. I told you, everyone will be there. If it's like this, you know what we're going to discuss, right, Aaini?” Even though she would rather not admit it, Aini does know what will be discussed this time. Her wedding date with Leo. They must have wanted to accelerate the process and make him submit and shut up. 
“Do as you please. Isn't that what you've been doing all along?” whispered Aini with a tone that was so sick. Even though he was aware of what Aini had given him, Leo smiled and rubbed the top of Aini's head. 
“Correct. You should have bowed like that. Come on in.”
For people who see Aini's relationship with Leo, they will definitely think that they are fine and so harmonious that they feel jealous. Unfortunately, none of them are aware of the pain and also all the burden that must be suffered by AIni. Not only that, he also has to be patient in dealing with people who say they are jealous and want to be in Aini's position by calling them names. If it wasn't for her safety, maybe Aini would have attacked them all. 
Lia always said that she would help Aini to fight against those who insulted her, just like what Salsa did even though they were best friends. But, Aini doesn't want Lia to get into trouble because of her. What kind of friend brings trouble to another best friend? It would be better if he endured all the pain alone and saw a happy Lia. For Aini, it would be more beautiful than the two of them having to feel pain together. 
The journey they went through can be said to be quite long. For almost an hour they were just silent and no one dared to say anything. Not even putting music in, makes Aini feel a little frustrated with this existing problem. Occasionally, he glanced at Leo, the man just smiled a satisfied smile as he rode, tapping his hands on the steering wheel. 
“Is it still long?” asked Aini who could not stand it. Surprised, Leo looked up before shaking his head, gesturing at a fancy restaurant in front of them with his head. 
"It is there. I'm just parked.”
Indeed, Leo immediately searched for a place to park before he hurriedly opened the door for Aini. Not wanting to fight back, Aini immediately followed the man's wish and went first. Leo himself rushed after Aini, greeted by the maid who was there. Leo said Hendramo's name and immediately the servants were more tense than before. One of them also finally led them both to a closed room. 
“Ah, Leo has come!” cried Hendramo. He immediately got up and ordered the man to sit down. However, the look in their eyes clarified it that they didn't really like this situation. “Aini, how was work today?”
Even though she would rather not reply, Aini could only say, “It's normal,” in a flat tone. 
“You're coming here… must have known, right?” Aini just nodded before looking at the food that was already served, the smoke was still billowing indicating it had just been served recently. 
“Honey, don't be like that. Not polite. They should treat them first and then discuss the problem!” cried Niar with a very sweet tone. Leo just chuckled at that statement. 
“Ah, I myself am fine. Again, this meeting was really about discussing that, right?”
“Sis Leo, will Sis Leo live with us later? Or will buy a house to live together with ….” These words hung when the two daughters, Hendramo and Niar looked at Aini. “With this woman?”
“For that, maybe it will be discussed after we are officially married.”
The awkward atmosphere at the dinner table made Hendramo feel tight, so he finally clapped his hands to attract the attention of the children and the others. With his calm smile, he finally started the banquet. All the food on the table is not Aini's favorite. Even so, it does taste good. It's just that the current situation makes the food difficult for him to swallow. 
“Is there a problem, Aini?" Leo asked after they finished half the food. 
“Look what time it is!” Exaggerated Intention exclaimed. He glanced at Hendramo to give a code, wanting to say that it was time for them to discuss this marriage. 
“Leo, do you have a special date you want to use?” Hendramo's frontal question succeeded in making Leo surprised. He glanced at Aini before nodding. 
"At the end of this year, I would like to invite Aini to do pre-wedding photos, to a different and beautiful place. Maybe… next year, we can get married soon. How are you, Aini? The beginning of the year is usually always the right date to make a new start, right?”
Aini, who had been silent and bowed her head, clenched her fists. He who was biting his lower lip looked up. “Why ask me? Do I even have the right to speak in this room?”
“Aini!” Hendramo rages, who does not accept the attitude of his other daughter. “Keep that attitude of yours!”
"What for? Isn't it obvious? In this place, I'm just something you guys take advantage of. Set the date yourself, don't take me. You said next year, right? Alright, let's do it next year!” cried Aini who was too angry. Leo, who saw this reaction, fell silent, gawking for a moment before smiling slyly. 
“Set the date yourself? If so… this is all you ordered, right? It's not my fault if later there are unpleasant things from that date. Leo looked at Aini who was looking back at him, each one had hatred in their eyes.
