Akad Shackle
Overnight in Garut
"God never fails in creating destiny, and God is never wrong in choosing the shoulders to be given the burden of testing. God understands the capacity of every one of His servants, only sometimes we are wrong in interpreting His love for us". said Rahma with eyes looking forward accompanied by a smile knot glancing at her best friend who looked at her without pause.
The reception is over, though, according to the rundown of the event that has been set by the wedding organizer team that trusted Lisna and Regy to take care of all their events since the beginning and ended with the reception that was completed right at 15:00.
Regy and Lisna agreed to stay one night in Cipanas. Receive bonuses given from wedding organizers that they trust. No-should-be the bonus they receive is a one-night stay package for all family members with VIP facilities.
Beautiful two-story villa with a modern minimalist design complete with a swimming pool and playground became their choice to spoil the nuclear family of both the bride and her close friends.
Rahma became the priority that Lisna list for her to stay there. This afternoon both are sitting on the balcony upstairs enjoying the twilight that will soon greet with a cup of hot chocolate that warms the body in the weather Garut is quite cold.
Not forgetting once Rahma looked at the swimming pool behind the villa, making sure Athaya who was swimming with Yusup was in good condition.
Rahma sipped hot chocolate in the cup she held. Smiling stifled at Lisna who kept looking at him wordlessly.
"Why?" asked Rahma finally after returning the cup to its original position,
"I was surprised to see you, still able to relax and smile. Don't get tired of being the one who pretends to be happy?" Lisna finally expressed her frustration.
He knew Anggara was with his new family this afternoon. Friska even without hesitation showed off their affection in front of Anggara's friends. Lisna's wedding is a reunion event for her old friends, one of which Anggara who came with the newly known Friska Lisna that Friska is also a friend of her husband.
Lisna had seen Anggara who would meet Athaya but was prevented by Friska. Lisna was upset because Anggara obeyed his wife, not knowing what Friska said until the friend he introduced to Rahma was directly obeying his wife. So upset Lisna even spilled her frustration on Regy who also knew the incident. He just shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.
"Who pretends to be happy? I'm happy Lis, so happy. Thank God that Athaya's presence complements my happiness" Rahma said with a smile on her lips, protesting every time her best friend said she was pretending to be happy.
"I sprained very much the Friska, do not think that Athaya is also the biological child of her husband, I was also the same Anggara so the husband is not there firmly. I know your life hasn't been easy, especially over the last five years. Now that we meet I want to say something. As your best friend I just want you to be happy, try to open your heart to other men. I'm sure Athaya needs a father figure, too. I heard from my sister-in-law for several years just a guy who wants to know you even said someone wants to directly abuse you. I'm sure they're not ordinary people" Lisna, who rarely met Rahma because she was in a different city, felt she had a chance to talk seriously about her best friend's personal life. Although communication via the phone often they do but Lisna feels less fitting if talking about this urgent thing via the phone.
Since officially divorcing Anggara, Rahma decided to settle in Jakarta and start a new life. During these five years Rahma only visited Garut twice, it was not long because of the busyness of her brother and also Rahma herself with her cake shop with her sister-in-law. Just make a pilgrimage to the graves of his parents and visit the brothers of his late father and mother who are still there.
"When are you chatting with brother-in-law?" rahma asked round her eyes, she was more focused than the news about her brother-in-law telling her about the man who came to her than Lisna's swear to Friska and Anggara. Rahma did not expect much of what Lisna knew about her. Things that Rahma had never told Lisna when they called or texted because they felt it was not important for that moment.
"Overnight, last night my sister-in-law came to see me and gave me a gift" Rahma unscrewed her front veil, revealing a necklace she wore with a very pretty pendant.
"So that's a gift from sister-in-law?" asked Rahma enthusiastically, and answered a nod of the head by Lisna who also returned to fingering her necklace pendant which she also greatly admired.
"I'm so embarrassed, it must be expensive. Sister-in-law is too good to give this expensive gift to me" said Lisna, she returned to tidying up her front veil.
"Sister-in-law is good, A Budi is very lucky to get a wife as good as him. And I am grateful to have such a great sister-in-law. His affection and concern for me, Maya and Yusuf exceeded even A Budi's attention" Rahma spoke while remembering all the kindness of her sister-in-law to her and her sisters.
Yesterday they came together and stayed at a hotel still in the Cipanas Garut area, not far from the building where the marriage of Lisna and Regy took place. But because Budi's task can not be abandoned long they decided to return to Jakarta this afternoon after the main event, namely the marriage contract procession Lisna and Regy completed. While Rahma with Athaya chose to live first in Garut according to Lisna's request with the company of Joseph of course.
"Now come back with you, so how are you ready not to open your heart again?" Lisna re-directed their chat to the starting topic. Rahma is seen taking a deep breath before responding to her best friend's question
"Thank you for your concern Lis, you were my best friend from the beginning. A friend who is always present in every important moment of my life. But... You know, I used to rush to say something, before finally knowing that the coming is just need. Without any love and affection that is completely intact" Rahma replied as she lowered her head, his memory retreated to the early days of his meeting with Anggara until at the second meeting he said to be ready to marry the man he had only known for a few days.
"Huhh....I feel so guilty if I remember that" Lisna threw her rough breath with a face that suddenly turned soft, she remembered how she had introduced Anggara to Rahma, hoping they can get to know each other and match each other because Rahma who must get married before her sister's wedding takes place. Lisna didn't know that behind her welcoming paddle Anggara turned out to be a covert mission.
"Well...." Rahma laughed a little loudly while covering her mouth with her right hand looking at the expression on Lisna's face which suddenly turned sour.
"Why?" lisna asked who did not understand why Rahma was laughing.
"You're funny" he said, still laughing.
"Funny what?" lisna asked as she fumbled her face and looked at her appearance,
"Funny with his shoulder face.hihi.." explained Rahma again chuckled...
"Ish. I feel so guilty about everything that happened to you because of that Anggara. And the severity of me bringing her into your life, forgive me Ukhty" said Lisna back with her shoulder face, she then hugged Rahma from the side.
"It's Lis, it's all over. Isn't the world just temporary? sad for a while, happy for a while, nothing is eternal. Everything will be lost and will sink along with the memories. Bye-nye of the past and greetings of the future" concluded Rahma with a wide smile on her sweet lips, not to forget dimples increasingly perfecting the aura of her beauty makes Lisna also smile happily to see the happiness emanated clearly on the face of her best friend.
"Eh by the way, where is your husband? why are you talking to me here?" Rahma only realized that they had been together for too long.
"She knew, after all, her boss called her to her room. He said there was important business" Lisna replied without taking off her embrace,
"Their reason?" Rahma did not understand the superior Lisna meant,
"Pak Tama" Lisna said casually
"Eh...." Lisna suddenly took off her embrace and turned to look at Rahma with sparkling eyes and a face that showed an expression like she had found a treasure.
"Why?" rahma replied in shock,
"Sir Tama, do you know yet that he is not married?"

While in another room, in the room reserved specifically for Tama is still in the same villa but different floors. Regy immediately retreated when he had just entered the room of his superior and best friend. He felt an aura of horror when entering the room, especially when staring at his best friend who was sitting in the Sopa in the VVIP room with a flat face and clenched hands.
Gbp ....
Without waiting any longer, Tama immediately raised her fist right on Regy's face.
"Why don't you tell me that Rahma has been divorced from her husband since five years ago jerk" Tama shouted filled the entire room while clutching the collar of her best friend's shirt.
