BECAUSE OF YOU, MY DESTINY.

Mr Alvin!

One week has passed, the tahlilan Almarhum Vino event is finished. Riana herself still lives in Bambang's house because she is not allowed to go home by Laras.

While Maya and Alvin, they also come to know and they live in his old house. Everyone was gathering at Bambang's house, some were cleaning the house and some were chatting.

"After this what are your plans, Ri?" keisya asked as he chewed on the cake taken from the plate in front of them.

Riana was running around and replied, "For the time being I will focus on my work and focus on taking care of a Vino workshop."

"When did you get married again?" chirps Yusuf.

Placard...

"Ouch..! Pea pain!" pekik Yusuf rubbed his head because it got a hard jolt from Deni.

"Eh, you don't have a mind, do you? Riana has just lost even in asking when to marry again! Really don't have a loe heart." Sergey Deni was upset about his cousin's words.

"Tau nih," said Keisya.

"Gue is just a doang! What harm?" cebik Yusuf is upset.

"Time is not right oncom!" timpal Iqbal joined them in following Alvin who also sat down.

"Some of us have just completed the seven-day expiry of Vino, even discussing marriage again. Not very polite," said Keisya.

"Eh, but what Joseph said is true. When are you getting married again? I'm ready to be your husband's replacement." Suddenly Iqbal.

"Ukhuu.ukhu.." Alvin who was drunk to the choking heard Iqbal say.

They looked towards Alvin worriedly. "You all right, Vin?" ask Iqbal.

Alvin shook his head while drinking back. Yusuf himself smiled at him, thinking that Alvin was surprised because he knew how Alvin felt about Riana.

"It's okay to drink don't rush, so choke!" keisya said.

"𝘎𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘥𝘢𝘬 𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘣𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘳 𝘶𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘪 𝘐𝘲𝘣𝘢𝘭. 𝘌𝘯𝘢𝘬 𝘴𝘢𝘫𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘶 𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘩𝘶𝘮 𝘝𝘪𝘯𝘰 𝘫𝘢𝘥𝘪 𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘮𝘪 𝘙𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢, 𝘨𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘬 𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘵𝘶." 𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯 𝘈𝘭𝘷𝘪𝘯.

"I'm just surprised that Iqbal will marry Riana and become the surrogate husband of his sister" Alvin said while chewing a banana.

"My words are serious. I'm gonna make Riana my wife."

"Ukhu.ukhu.." Alvin again choked as soon as he drank and then looked seriously at Iqbal. " Loe seriously?" ask Alvin seriously.

"Seriously. Although widowed, I will accept it with a free hand," replied Iqbal seriously in front of Riana herself.

"No! I'll be his replacement husband!" alvin was firm.

"Enough! You guys think not anyway? We just mourned the passing of a Vino, and now you're thinking about when I got married again? I just got it still wet. But y'all? Really have no feelings." Riana let out a tear and then got up from her seat and left them.

Everyone was silent to see Riana crying again.

"What I said, don't talk about marriage. It should be at a time like this that you support him so that he does not grieve. It's not even like this," Sergah Deni was furious with their behavior.

"What Deni says is true, it is not easy for us a woman to forget someone in her life let alone this in staying away for good. We as the closest people should support Riana, encourage her, comfort her so as not to be sad, not make her sad again." Keisya's law justifies the word Deni.

They fell silent, and they regretted their actions.

In Riana's room curled up on the bed, she hugged the bolster while sobbing. "Why are they evil with you? And you've only been gone for a week, and I'm not ready to accept this fact either. Suddenly I have to lose you, even many plans that we prepare in the future. But, everything is lost by the fate of God."

"Gue felt guilty, I should as Kaka be able to understand the state of his wife." Iqbal's face was gloomy, he regretted his actions.

Their position is now in the family room, while the parents are in the living room chatting with other families. So this incident the parents did not know.

"Eatya, if you talk in the first thought do not just come from the mangap!" sergeant Deni.

"Now regret, right? Regrets do come later" Keisya said.

"How should we go?" ask Iqbal, Alvin, and Joseph at the same time.

"Don't know." Deni and Keisya answered simultaneously.

The three let out a rough breath, then sat up straight and draped both hands on the chest in a compact manner as well.

Deni watched the three, inwardly he chuckled at the compactness of the three. "If you want to be sorry, you have to try to persuade yourself and make him laugh again!" deni Proposal.

"How?" ask third.

"Think about you! Kan, you guys make Riana like that."

"And for now, don't talk about marriage! Remember that! Don't talk about marriage!" timpal Keisya emphasized every word.

"Yes!" answer all three.

"Good! You guys are smart kids!" Deni praised the three while giving two thumbs up. Keisya was already chuckling while the three of them were picking up irritated lips.

Riana looked around the place, she was so amazed at the beauty of the place. Lots of colorful flowers are blooming, fragrant really wearing the sense of smell.

He ran after the butterflies that were flying toward his flowers. "God willing! It's so beautiful! Hhmmm, fragrant!" Riana plucked one of the flowers and sniffed the fragrance.

"Beautiful and fragrant like you, baby." Whisper someone right in his ear.

Riana who was closed in on the scent of flowers opened her eyes suddenly. He flipped his body and instantly hit the chest of the field. Her body was choked by the man in front of her, and the man kissed Riana's forehead.

"A Vino." said Riana.

"Yes, it's me." Vino distanced her face but both her hands held onto Riana's waist. Riana had shed tears. "Don't cry! You should be happy even without me by your side! I will always be around you making sure you are happy with the people you love. Here I am happy, I no longer feel pain, even here are many beautiful women who accompany me." Vino chuckled in between her words, Riana smacked Vino's chest softly in annoyance.

Vino wiped away Riana's tears using her hands. "Thank you for accepting me in your life, thank you for bringing me happiness for the rest of my life. You're the best for me, forever the best."

"A," Riana hugged Vino's body. She was crying in her arms again.

"I know that your heart still belongs to her, and I also know that you are trying to accept me. Now is the time to be happy with the one you love. Look behind you!" Riana shook her head.

"Look! He's the one you've been waiting for all this time!" Vino breaks her arms, flipping Riana's body. "He's the one, baby."

Riana who was originally looking down looked up her face, her face was stunned to see a man standing not far in front of her displaying a sweet smile full of sincerity.

"Sir Alvin!" riana woke up from her dream. "Why is Mr Alvin in my dream?" Riana rubbed the cold sweat that was pouring down her face.
