(Not) The Substitute

Eps 113 - Reception

At 8 pm the reception is held in one of the hotel buildings not far from their home, but certainly not in the same hotel where Arfan had a wedding reception before him.

Guests who attended were also quite a lot, both Arfan's friends and Elnaz's friends almost all came. Even Andy is no exception, Elnaz's schoolmate also won't want to miss the memoent to make his friend happy.

While Elnaz is currently in one of the hotel rooms that will be his room tonight and Arfan.

The truth is his second is not a newlywed, what else with his fetus that is now growing in the womb of Elnaz. But somehow Elnaz felt so nervous and blushed every time he thought this would be his wedding night with Arfan.

Likewise with Arfan, this is not the first time he is planning a reception and he is not a bachelor who will let go of his single period, he said, Arfan has become a husband and also the future father of the fetus in the womb of his wife, but Arfan feels a warm feeling, passionate, a happiness that he cannot describe with words. He was so enthusiastic, impatient and he immediately wanted to see his wife in his wedding dress of choice. He was impatient, and Elnaz was with him as his bride, his property, and out of love. Not because they have to replace someone else.

Elnaz was ready with a wedding dress of her choice named yellow gold. Color that makes her look very beautiful and as if sparkling, with a simple makeup polish but still beautify her face which is very beautiful.

Elnaz accompanied both of his parents, to deliver him to the temple, gave him to his husband and this time with their best blessing and prayer.

"Sir Elsa's really coming, isn't she?" elnaz asked as his mother led him to the hotel ballroom.

"So Mama's been on the phone, she said she was on her way" her mother replied.

Beset guilt in the heart of Elnaz, on the one hand he did not want to hurt his brother if he had to watch his former fiancee standing with his sister in the guarantee, on the other hand, he did not want to hurt his brother if he had to watch his former fiancee, It was as if Elnaz was betraying his sister. But on the other hand, Elnaz really wants her brother on this happy day. Even so, Elnaz did not actually force her sister to come, but Elsa herself said she would come.

Upon entering the hotel's ballroom, Elnaz's parents handed Elnaz to Arfan, then Arfan took his wife and took her into the hotel ballroom. Followed by their parents.

They were welcomed by the invited guests, a happy smile never separated from the lips of Elnaz and Arfan.

What's more when Elnaz saw the decorations that looked very beautiful, Elnaz did not know and he was not involved in the preparation of his own wedding reception except in choosing a dress.

"Do you like what I've prepared for you, honey?" asked Arfan whispered, Elnaz can only nod with glassy eyes because of haru.

"I'm nervous, honey. I feel like a newlywed again" said Arfan then who made Elnaz giggle, although in fact he felt the same way.

The event began, the invited guests congratulated and accompanied them with prayers.

In fact, Doctor Nadine also came and he gave a gift in the form of perfume that he said he bought in Paris. And that perfume was a perfume for men, which of course for Elnaz was nothing like a wedding gift. But Elnaz kept trying to calm down and even smiled at Doctor Nadine.

"Thank you, like Papa would love this" said Elnaz who made Nadine a little surprised and upset because she felt unappreciated.

"That's for Arfan, not for your father" he said and kept smiling.

"When I got pregnant, I didn't like my husband to wear perfume" Elnaz said.

"So you're pregnant, El? Was it because of this accident that you were married?" nadine asked lightly, making the person who heard the question directly look at Arfan and Elnaz.

"That's not the reason...." Arfan and Elnaz look for the origin of the sound, as well as others.

Elsa appeared from passing the invited guests, Elnaz's older sister looked beautiful in a Rose gold dress and natural makeup polish.

"Sir Elsa.." muttered Elnaz with a smile.

Elsa approaches her sister who is hanging out at the wedding with her former fiance. There was no hatred, envy or jealousy in Elsa's eyes.

"Sorry brother is late, El..." Elsa said softly while hugging her sister.

Arfan who saw it immediately squinted his eyes at Elsa, as if investigating Elsa.

"Sister?" nadine asked in surprise as she looked at Elnaz and Elsa alternately.

"Yes, she's my sister" Elsa said with a smile.

"Wow.." muttered Nadine in disbelief, and knowing that fact only made her think more about the bad things about Elnaz.

"And their wedding happened a long time ago, it's just a reception" Elsa said.

"Yg in saying Elsa was right" Arfan chimed in "We've been drawing for a long time, Nad. It wasn't easy to get this baby either. The reception is also a thanksgiving for Elnaz's pregnancy"

"Oh..." Nadine responded casually while nodding her head nod. But his eyes still glanced at Arfan mischievously.

"Sir Elsa is okay?" Elnaz asked, "I'm sorry Elsa..."

"I'm fine, El" said Elsa.

"There is no need to listen to anyone else." whispered Sister Jessy to Elnaz.

"Doctor Liam had dinner with this woman, Arfan too. That's annoying..." Elnaz whispered back that made Sister Jessy glare and she immediately glanced sharply at Liam who was currently talking to Arfan.

"Take a look later." growled Sister Jessy.

"We'd better enjoy this party now, about them... We think about it later" whispered Elnaz again.

While Elsa is now approaching her Mama and Papa, if Elnaz is not mistaken, she feels there is something Elsa is hiding. Her brother looked gloomy and seemed to be holding back wounds. Elnaz understood that, but Elnaz and Arfan were now husband and wife, they had each other and added to the pregnancy of Elnaz which made their relationship stronger.

Whatever the past three of them were, it was only the past. His future son is Arfan and Elnaz, Elsa's niece.
