A month later. Axel's struggle to have Melani has vanished. There is no hope that Axel can do anything anymore so Melani can return to him. Axel was desperate, and he could only ponder in the field hut. He was remembering all the things that had passed. "Is it possible that I can't have you, Melani?" Axel asked himself. All the struggles that Axel had were meaningless. Axel was selling cars and fields and going back and forth between cities and villages to help Melani. But it seemed as if Melani didn't care, and she even rejected it outright. “How can I not expect you, Melani? I want you.” Axel leaned his body against the backrest there, staring forward blankly. Axel has no passion for carrying out activities because of Melani. Yes, he always thinks of Melani every time he does anything. Axel continued to imagine the first time they met here. When they met, they immediately liked him at first sight. Axel smiled but finally fell silent again. “I have to let you go, Melani, if you are not mine but belong to my brother. I used to want you to be my wife, but it all disappeared," Axel resigned. There will be no more chance for him to have Melani. Melani, who doesn't want to get married a second time, still wants to be with Antonio. Even though Antonio often goes out to Melani, Melani remains silent. Many people even wonder why Melani was able to endure all this. Endure the pain in his body. Just because of debt? Axel has offered to help but is still rejected. However, from a distance, Mr. Jeff, along with his daughter, saw Axel sitting alone in the field hut. With his eyes staring blankly ahead, his face was pale, making them surprised. "What's the matter, Dad?" asked Mr. Jeff's daughter—Natalia, who saw Mr. Jeff looking silent with a frown. “What's wrong with Axel? Why do you look gloomy, and your face is so pale," said Mr. Jeff, making Natalia pay attention to Axel. It's true what Mr. Jeff said if Axel looks like he's sick. Empty look, pale face, no energy. "Just come to Dad. I'm afraid Axel will do something wrong!" said Natalia, providing an idea because we don't know other people's thoughts. Mr. Jeff agreed, and they stepped forward to approach Axel, who was sitting there. Axel still didn't realize that Mr. Jeff and Natalia were already there Mr. Jeff patted Axel's shoulder, making Axel immediately surprised to see Mr. Jeff "Hey, Mr. Jeff! Who do I think it is!” Axel said with a shocked expression, and he immediately relaxed his tense body. Mr. Jeff chuckled, and he immediately sat next to Axel. “Why are you brooding alone? What is it?" asked Mr. Jeff, looking at Axel with a soft gaze. It's not like usual for Axel to be silent like this. “If you have a problem, let's tell it to you. Who knows, you might be able to give some advice," he added. Axel exhaled in resignation, and he lowered his head for a moment before his eyes returned to the vast expanse of fields. "You remember the students who came here at that time, right?" Axel asked. Mr. Jeff was silent for a moment before he nodded his head. Remember that. "Yes, I remember," answered Mr. Jeff. Axel started to tell everything to Mr. Jeff, telling him everything he had experienced. Beginning with the news that Antonio is married to his girlfriend. Melani was carried out by domestic violence until Axel's reckless action of selling his car and farm just to help Melani. But at all, Melani didn't see what Axel was fighting for. “So that's why you sold half your farm and your car? To help the girl?” Mr. Jeff asked, unable to understand what Axel was doing "Axel, I know your actions are very noble. But she appreciates it. Why are you waiting for her?” said Mr. Jeff after listening to Axel's story. His heart smiled a little, feeling sorry for Axel's unfortunate fate. “How much debt does he owe your brother?” asked Mr. Jeff. “Two hundred thousand dollars.” Shock? Yes, Mr. Jeff and Natalia looked at each other. Apparently, Axel was going to help pay it off, but Melani didn't accept it at all. Before Axel did that, he should have asked Melani. "Is she willing if you help her? After all, if you do that, you have nothing to lose now," said Natalia, giving advice to Axel. Axel was silent. What Natalia said was true. He'd better ask Melani first. Axel sighed. "Because I was very sure that Melani would accept what I helped her. So that Melani and I can be reunited," replied Axel. Mr. Jeff shook his head, and he didn't blame Axel at all here. In fact, he was amazed and proud of her because of her good intentions to help Melani. "Until now, is that girl still being domesticated by your brother?" asked Mr. Jeff. Axel nodded. “Apparently, it still is, but Melani continues to hide it. Injuries can be quickly hidden, even as if nothing had happened in their household," replied Axel. "That woman's fate is really bad. She's good, but meeting Antonio made her suffer for sure there," replied Pan Jeff. "Yes, of course, Dad, who wouldn't be calm if she always got violence from her own husband," replied Natalia. "I'm confused now, Mr. Jeff. I'm bewildered about what else to do. How many efforts have I made to help Melani, but there are still no results," said Axel. He was resigned and desperate. There is no other way out, which Axel has. “If you feel tired and have no more way. You better stop, Axel. Because forcing your will is not good, forcing too much when we don't have the strength to do it ourselves," replied Mr. Jeff, with his hand rubbing Axel's shoulder very gently. "Remember that you still have a long youth, Axel, use it positively. Remember, you still have both parents, who are waiting for you to be successful in the city there," added Pan Jeff. Axel immediately fell silent, hearing what Mr. Jeff said. Indeed, what was said is true if Axel still has a distant goal. His parents' expectations of him were so high that Axel didn't need to waste time taking care of things that weren't important. “Rise, Axel. Prove to that woman if you can forget her and be happy without her. If you beg too much, you will look pathetic in this world."
