Not As Expected

Expectations don't match reality, that's how Julian is now.

When he arrived at Amber's boarding house, he was surprised because he passed Amber's family who took Amber to a car.

"Good evening, Father, Mother, Rory," said Julian kindly, but just like before, the family's treatment was always unkind. Cynical and despised.

"Wow, there's a bum coming here," said Rory, Amber's brother. His appearance can be said to be trendy, although not too handsome.

"What are you doing here at night huh?" This time it was Benny, Amber's father who spoke. From behind his plus glasses, he highlighted a burly body clad in ordinary clothes like an insult.

Julian sighed. He knew that at any time his existence would be difficult to accept in this family. However, he was sure that his good intentions could melt their hearts.

"I have good news to share. I am ready to marry your daughter."

They looked at each other. Laughter broke out.

"Did I hear right? A mechanic like you is ready to marry my beautiful sister?" Rory leaned her skinny body towards Julian, "Don't dream of scum!"

Julian's body stumbled backwards as Rory pushed one shoulder. Julian was still calm about it. Even if his heart is broken.

"But, I have prepared the dowry and wedding expenses, Rory," said Julian, who was greeted with ridicule.

"Haha, I know that you are very obsessed with my daughter. But it's better to keep your beautiful imagination young man. A mechanic like you can't possibly have enough money," Benny joked while patting Julian's shoulder.

Julian's face heated up. His patience was running out. He glanced briefly at Amber who just bowed resignedly. For the sake of Amber, he was willing to be insulted by his family like this. A future son-in-law who is looked down upon as trash, but Julian will prove he deserves to be with Amber.

"I'll prove that I have a lot of money. Wait a minute," said Julian while starting his motorbike at high speed. He felt passionately want to show the results of the robbery earlier to silence their mouths.

Arriving at the boarding house, he was shocked to death when he saw his bag disappeared on the bed. He searched all over the room for it, but the bag containing the jewelery and money was nowhere to be found.

"Shit! Where's my bag! Fuck!" cursed Julian in frustration. He dismantled whatever was in his room until it resembled a broken ship.

Julian ruffled his hair. His face heats up. Now how does he talk to Amber's family when it's like this, especially when he boasts that he has a lot of money.

Argh!

Julian threw a fist in his own face. Hurting him physically is not much with the turmoil that whacks.

Amber is one of the many women who Julian chooses as a life partner. For the sake of Amber, he stopped doing his old habits. Drunk, Gambling, womanizing. He focuses on working to build a household with Amber. But, the struggle is so big it is meaningless if it is not a lot of money.

With a heavy heart, he returned to Amber's boarding house. He wasn't a coward who would just give up. Mentally as strong as steel.

"Where? You said that you brought a lot of money?" greeted Rory in a tone full of ridicule upon seeing the languid and frail Julian.

"My money was stolen," said Julian, with quivering lips. Her face was bright red. Holding shame.

"Could you be mentally ill, you fantasize about having a lot of money, when in reality you are ugly. God forbid if my daughter had a husband like you," said Maya, Amber's mother who is famous for being very wicked mouth.

Julian strengthened his depressed psyche. Humiliated by Amber's family. Amber looked at him with teary eyes, as if disappointed with his attitude earlier.

"Please give me time. I promise to collect the money as soon as possible," said Julian.

"In what way? Steal or rob? What can a criminal look like you do other than that?" Rory chirped in annoyance. Unknowingly, his words had stabbed Julian's self-esteem. Sad indeed. In fact Julian was a robber, even a murderer.

"You'd better go home. We will never be able to accept you as part of our family. Your appearance is ok, but unfortunately, you are poor!" added Benny.

Julian's jaw hardened. His hands clenched. his patience was running low. He wanted to smack Benny and Rory in the face right then and there, but he was still weighing Amber's feelings.

"Besides, there is already a rich businessman who wants to marry Amber. It's been a week, but suddenly he wants the wedding tomorrow. That's why we came to pick Amber. You know the dowry given? Two billion? It's impossible for you to get it, right? "

Julian was stunned. His sexy black lips were pressed tightly together. His heart is crushed. Their years of struggle and togetherness were in vain.

"You can't do that, sir! Amber and I love each other. We're both compatible. It's only because your wealth wants to separate us!" protested Julian with a defiantly leaning body. Benny and Rory shuddered slightly at the sight.

"It's just realistic nowadays. Everything has to be measured by money. After all, I don't want my daughter to have a hard life with you. We're tired of raising him," Maya sprayed scathingly.

Julian glanced at the middle-aged woman, then turned to Amber who was dripping with tears. He knew that Amber was tormented by this situation and it was made worse by Julian's impatient attitude.

Not long after, an Alphard car arrived in front of the boarding area. Seen a bodyguard who came down to open the door for someone. Julian gasped when he saw the fat, dapper old man.

"Evening Mr. Robert," said Amber's family so respectfully. It was completely different from the way they had treated Julian earlier.

"Oh yeah, I introduce you to Mr. Robert. Amber's future husband."
