Axel is now sitting in front of his parents' house, away from the crowds of people—those who are happy to welcome Melani as their daughter-in-law. Axel can't stop thinking that Melani will marry Axel's eldest brother. Even though he loved Melani for a long time, Antonio was the one who got her. Axel straightened his hair roughly. Obviously, this made Axel a little uncomfortable. “You should marry me, Melani. Maybe I wouldn't feel this way, right?” Axel said in a low voice, and he stared forward blankly. He doesn't have any energy to live his life again. “I was waiting for you here, but you have easily looked for someone else. Even my brother!" said Axel, shaking his head vigorously. He didn't imagine something like this would happen. "I shouldn't have come home today." His mind screamed again; regret, regret now, continued to arise in Axel's mind. A hand tapped his shoulder, and Axel didn't turn his head because he already knew who tapped his shoulder. None other than Mr. Albert, who knows Axel's condition and mood. Axel immediately followed, who was sitting in front of his house. "You feel hurt, Axel?" Mr. Albert asked. Axel didn't answer. He just remained silent. But in his heart, he replied with a shout. He was tired of making sounds from his mouth. Mr. Albert sighed in resignation. "I also didn't think that Antonio was the one—" "Why does it have to be the dad?" Axel interrupted. He looked at Albert's face with an unfortunate look. “There are still many men in this world. Why does Antonio have to marry Melani? Why not something else?” He doesn't accept it if Melani marries her brother, but if he's with someone else, Axel can still get it. Mr. Albert smiled at that. "None of us know Axel. Maybe this is Melani's fate with Antonio," answered Mr. Albert. Axel was not happy with this answer. "But I was the one who proposed to her, and they flatly refused, but this is Antonio. How quickly can you get it?" Axel was genuinely amazed by what was happening, even though they were from the same family. “We come from the same family, Dad. What did he do to get Melani that easily?" Axel asked, but Mr. Albert just shook his head. "Never mind Axel, just let Melani go, okay?" said Mr Albert, because there was no other choice but that. After all, Melani was also married, so it was no longer possible for Axel to like her. "Don't worry about it anymore. Just pray that Melani will be happy with your brother. Because he chose Antonio over you," added Mr. Albert. Still looking at Axel, who seemed very sad, his gaze was so wilted and sad that Mr Albert felt sorry to see him. But also, Mr. Albert couldn't do anything. Everything has passed, and what happened can't be turned back. "It's a lie, Dad, if I saw her with another man. What's more, he is my older brother," said Axel. Mr. Albert nodded. "I understand what you feel, and maybe it's difficult for you to accept it now, right? But you have to know, you will get better than Melani." Mr. Albert stroked Axel's shoulder, encouraging his life. Even though Axel was devastated, Mr Albert tried to give him encouragement. "I'd better go back to the village, sir. I'll live there." *** Days passed. After this incident, Axel lost his lover. He chose never to come to his parent's house again, and he was only busy in the village taking care of his garden and his own life. Axel keeps trying to forget Melani and let it go even though it feels difficult, but Axel is sure he will be able to. Axel's life in the village has changed drastically, and his house has even been renovated to make it very nice. It was so good that some villagers felt jealous because Axel had been able to remodel his home to make it the most luxurious among the places in his village. However, Axel is not arrogant, and he remains humble. And many people like this because of Axel's humble attitude. Now Axel is still in the garden. In the hot sunlight, he temporarily takes shelter in his garden hut. "Why are you just staring, Axel?" asked Mr. Jeff, who suddenly came to Axel's garden. This often Mr. Jeff comes to accompany Axel to chat with his classmates even though the distance between Mr. Jeff's garden and Axel's garden is quite far. Axel smiled slightly. "It's okay, sir, just a little tired," answered Axel. "Didn't you come to the garden?" Mr. Jeff just nodded briefly. "Okay, I'll just be a moment. There are other workers who look after the fields," answered Mr. Jeff. “Oh yeah, how is your house renovation going? Is it done? I haven't visited to see your new house," said Mr. Jeff. Because their houses are also far from each other, Mr. Jeff rarely passes Axel's house unless there is a path to follow. “Almost finished, just finishing the back. Maybe it will be finished soon," answered Axel happily. Mr. Jeff smiled when he heard that. “You can even renovate your house, and now it's an excellent thing. Do your parents know that you renovated the house?" Axel shook his head, and he didn't tell his parents at all. With his intention and determination, he renovated his house. "No, I didn't mention it to them at all. I just wanted the house to be good if they came," answered Axel. "Indeed, you are a very successful child, Axel," praised Mr. Albert. "Thank you. Mr. Jeff is also a successful person, right? I was the first to win," answered Axel. Because Pan Jeff probably praises Axel every day if he is a successful child. In fact, Mr. Jeff, too, was the first person to experience success in the village. Mr. Jeff chuckled. "But now there are you who have succeeded. Keep up the enthusiasm!" Mr. Jeff patted Axel's shoulder several times before finally leaving Axel's presence. Maybe he'll learn to take care of his farm because he's been resting for a long time. Likewise with Axel, he got down from where he was sitting. To immediately resume pending work. Axel keeps thinking about Melani and the face of Melani, who is about to get married. It was indeed challenging for Axel to forget Melani. But he will continue to try to forget it, even though the heartache that Axel feels is profound. Let it be. Only Axel feels the suffering, while Melani is happy with her brother. Maybe Axel wouldn't block their way. "I'm sincere as long as you're happy there, Melani."
