Bridal Flowers

The proposal was a party?

رَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ ۗ 

"Your Lord knows more about you."

(QS. Al-Isra' 17: Verse 54)

                                     ***

"Son, you're a real man." Abi's whisper into Gio's already flushed ears held back the embarrassment. Hearing Abi's pride in him Gio proudly stood up, showing how sturdy the body was again envious.

"Gio, Umi thinks your proposal is too pushy?" Umi's whispers endured the embarrassment that instantly brought down Gio's spirit.

This is not a compulsion but an attempt to achieve the future, ah!

Cough, "Sir Dimas, maybe here there's a misunderstanding. Our daughter that you should be applying for isn't this Saqila?" Abi tries to explain the misunderstanding Gio said.

Establishing the determination and intent of his arrival, "No sir, there is no misunderstanding going on here and it is true that my arrival here is to propose to Annisa." Gio who once made the Annisa family still could not say anything.

Silently, Abi and Umi stared blankly at Gio who was still firmly looking into Abi's eyes confidently.

"Hey, can you explain all this?" Bisik Kayla demands. It might not be foolish to not be able to understand what Gio was saying. Just, why should Annisa?

Did Gio misunderstand that Annisa was Saqila?

Otherwise why would Saqila tell everyone that Gio and his family would come to propose to her?

Is this just Saqila's wits?, but if Saqila's deeper thoughts are not that kind of person, it's that poison-minded people like this are more suitable for Annisa.

Feeling hate, Saqila looked at Kayla with a guilty and pitiful expression that looked so curious about her answer. "I don't know, Kayla. I was confused as to why Mas Gio had suddenly changed his choice." Saqila's voice sounded dazed and helpless.

Kayla's heart felt good to see her gentle and beautiful cousin had to feel a sense of helplessness. He knew enough that the condition of the heart as well as the mental state of Saqila was not good and well, arguably very hurt. Ah, just think about which heart the woman receives if the lover she is waiting for and loves comes to propose to her brother, huh.. Kayla never imagined how painful it would be.

"Hum, I get it." Kayla stroked Saqila's back gently, hinting that Saqila could become calmer and be able to think clearly.

Adjusting her breath, Abi glanced at Saqila who was now bowing her head in sorrow. It is clear that his second daughter endured the pain there, as a father she could not bear to see the torment that befell her daughter. Then, his eyes then fell on Annisa who looked so radiantly happy. Her reddened face held in shame giving Abi a story that her first daughter is now being struck happy, as a father of course she can also be relieved to see this. Even when her marriage proposal was once Annisa never looked this shy, maybe her heart was already attached to the young man who was now in front of her.

But, standing between the sadness of the second daughter and the happiness of the first daughter was something he never thought of. How could there be a day when his two daughters put their hopes on the same man?

Whose happiness will he be on his side?

Adjusting his breath again, he tried to clear his mind. Thudding, all the whispers of the intersection of the Annisa family finally distracted by the voice of Abi. "Look Gio, there's a misunderstanding going on in our family and since it's been like this then I as the head of the family want to make sure straight away that this misunderstanding is what it looks like." Obviously Abi did not intend to hide the problems that occurred in his family. Even if he had to open up his family's privacy then it's fine as long as his daughters get justice.

"Abi, think about it. It's too privacy for the other side of the family to know." Umi's whisper reminds. Because this is their deepest secret, the conflict between unusual siblings is a shameful thing that Umi never wanted to hear from others. Because it is uncomfortable to have to listen to this bad thing from the mouth of others who will definitely hurt his heart as a Umi.

Annisa's past is pretty much Umi's worst experience in people's eyes.

"We have no other choice, we better open this problem so that it is clear that Gio's real choice from the first was Saqila or Annisa. Don't you also want this matter to not make Saqila and Annisa awkward?" Reply Abi whispered which was forcefully approved by Umi even though what Abi said was true as well.

"Before your arrival here one of my daughters, Saqila had explained to us what your relationship was like a few months ago. So Gio can you explain to us why today all of a sudden your choice has changed?" Abi asked in a clear and clear heavy voice.

This time the source of whispers and other confused sounds came from the Gio family. They wondered since when had Gio been in a relationship with another girl?

No, this is not something that is natural for boarding families to start a relationship before marriage then why does Gus Gio trust them to be in a relationship with another girl?

Hearing Abi's question, Gio had understood from the beginning the meaning of the question. But to not arouse suspicion it is better to pretend not to know. "Sorry sir, what is this relationship you mean to have between me and Saqila?" Gio asked who once again made the Annisa family even more confused.

Even Saqila who had been subdued earlier could not help her grief after hearing Gio question what kind of relationship they were in.

Doubtful, "Isn't it a relationship between lovers, you promised him you'd marry Saqila soon." Abi explained carefully so that Gio could understand the intent he was trying to say.

Pretending to be surprised, "Is that right?" Tanya Gio made sure to Abi and was immediately taken in.

"Saqila, to be honest, she and I have a relationship. But the relationship between us is only limited to teachers and students. One year ago Saqila was one of my students in a bamboo hut and it was only a few months because one year ago I decided to stop working. As for the relationship of lovers that you mean I don't know anything about this. I never had a romantic relationship with him or with anyone else before marriage because it was forbidden by religion. Even promising her a marriage for her I never did because to me Saqila was a student for me." It was clear that Gio immediately made the atmosphere become silent.

Abi and Umi who had been listening clearly and clearly in front of this young man could not respond to anything. They could not say anything as their thoughts were carried floating on the scene a few months ago. The day that Saqila with a heartbreaking cry came to them both. She cries and looks so persecuted in front of the two of them and says that Annisa has tried to tease her future husband, Gio.

A question arose in both of their heads, that day why did Saqila suddenly admit that Gio was her future husband?

Why would Saqila with such high confidence accuse Annisa of seducing her lover?

Umi and Abi knew the conclusion but they were so afraid to say it on the lips, because Saqila did not look like that at all.

"Why should Annisa?" Suddenly a bitter voice of Saqila entered their hearing.

Saqila raised her head, revealing her beautiful face that was soft and delicate had changed color. It looks so pale and fragile.

Looking straight at Gio, Saqila could not accept that a still holy and honorable girl like herself should be defeated by that dirty and despicable widow.

He does not accept!

"Why should Annisa? Aren't I more than enough?" Ask again. Even he did not care about losing his face in front of all his family because all he wanted was justice!

He wants Gio to be fair to him and get Annisa out of his sight.

Staring back, there was no gentle expression of sympathy in Gio's sharp eye glint. This was the expression when he met a stranger.

"Because my heart is entirely his." His heart had long been owned by Annisa. Even from the very beginning they had met her heart already belonged to Annisa completely.

Not accepting, "Mas Gio had to think about it carefully whether the choice that Mas Gio took was the best or not. Because if you look carefully between Saqila and Annisa the best choice is Saqila herself." Of course, who will win is himself because if viewed from any side Saqila is superior compared to Annisa.

She was still a girl and had never been touched, even in front of everyone she was so admired and respected. So why didn't Gio take this into account to him?

Because yeah.. Annisa is a widow and dirty, for everyone she is no different from the girls out there who are so cheap and low.

Depressing.

"The best choice is you?, tell me what qualifications cause Saqila to think that Saqila is the best choice for me?" So confident, Gio never expected that Saqila was so bold as to display his low side here. Even after hearing the story that Safira told him Gio was actually so hard to believe that the girl as gentle as Saqila was actually storing poisonous thorns behind her soft mask.

But today all his doubts were instantly answered after seeing Saqila's attitude like this. Even Annisa who people accuse of being an unrighteous woman has never behaved like this.

"Saqila, stop, son. It's not good to behave like this-"

"Let Umi, let everyone know that Saqila is better than Annisa." Today he was so bold as to cut off his Umayyad speech. Of course this Umi noticed because usually Saqila did not dare to do such a rude attitude. He will be gentle and very respectful of Abi and Umi as parents who have been instrumental in giving birth and raising her.

So, why would their daughter be able to behave like this?

Was it because of his anger that was still unstoppable?

"Saqila was a holy and unmarried girl, so naturally Saqila was more suited to Mas Gio. Sister Annisa is a widow who was divorced within hours of her marriage. Did Mas Gio never wonder why Annisa was divorced like that by her former husband? Or did Mas Gio never mind about Kak Annisa's status being unsuitable for Mas Gio?" His soft clear voice once again resounded in the room. He rips off Annisa's mask and relives the pain that Annisa tries to forget. Even her shyness and lack of confidence regained control of Annisa.

He is ashamed of Gio's family and his family because his dark and cruel past makes Umi and Abi definitely depressed. He was afraid that Mas Gio's family would look one eye at his family just because of his unluckiness in the household.

Annisa did not want her family even her two parents to be looked down upon like that.

Annisa doesn't want to.

However, Annisa forgot that this problem was already known by Gio's extended family. Not only his extended family but the people in the boarding school already knew about this and they all knew the truth behind all the stories. Yesterday when Annisa and Safira returned home the family of the boarding school immediately clarified the matter before all residents of the boarding school. Even Dea who became the mastermind also testified about the truth of the rumor so that he could be allowed to return to live in the boarding house.

So in conclusion, the Gio family did not take issue with this even though the rumors were true. Because of good business or not someone let God determine. They just go through and pray that the steps they take can be diridhoi by Allah SWT.

"So how does it matter if Annisa's a widow and you're not?" Gio's calm voice filled the tense nerves of everyone who had been listening.

Even Pak Kyai and Umi Gio even took the time to eat the snacks in front of him. It was as if this tension was something ordinary to them.

"It's not like you're better than him. And to prove that he is no longer holy I cannot say this now because we are still unmarried. Wait until I get married and the answer you want I will tell you honestly and without hiding anything from you."

Astonished, once again everyone was taken aback by Gio. How could they not be astonished that this matter of privacy was said so plainly by Gio. Well, even though he actually has a point, that doubts about Annisa's chastity can only be proven after they get married.

But it's still too open, ah!

"Sister, your future husband is so brave. I'm so envious.pfft." Safira's whisper held back her laughter. He did not know what to say that men as serious as Gio also had good humor.

Safira did not know whether to laugh or cry for Gio who was playing there.

"Don't say it again.." Annisa's whisperer was timid. Instantly, the sadness that was swept away by Gio's short and little answer.

"No.no.. Mas Gio has to trust me that the best option is to be with me and not with Annisa. This has been proven since the failure of Annisa's first marriage. If Mas Gio does not believe it then ask directly to my family who are here, they will definitely tell the truth about the ugliness of Annisa Kak that Mas Gio does not know." Insisting, Saqila still did not want to admit her defeat. He is perfect so there is no reason for Gio to refuse to live with him. But Annisa is full of flaws and vices then why can Gio be with her?

"Why should I ask them if the answer is always the same as what you say? After all as hard as you ask me to ask the answer will remain the same, my coming here to ask Annisa to build a household with me and nothing else." Sturdy Gio looked so calm and patient. Though far from his heart he had cried out loudly wanting to end the stubbornness of Saqila.

Women are stubborn but is it natural to have to force it like this?

Flinched, Saqila's thin smile slowly disappeared from her thin lips. It showed a stunned face that was so empty and helpless. Raising his body, he made his knees as a pedestal. Making him see everyone who was also looking at him pity?

Huh, what kind of expression did they throw?

Saqila did not need to be pitied, after all the expression she hated the most in her lifetime was the gaze they were currently serving. Was he so pitiful that it made them so haughty to give him a look like this.

Then, his empty gaze circled in any direction. Rows of his family who were whispering and occasionally looked at him sympathy.

Acting indifferent, he was lazy to respond to the attitude of his family that was so annoying. Looking around, Saqila's eyes finally fell on the figure of Annisa and Sapphira who were now also staring at him.

He saw Sapphira who was beside Annisa looking at him with a prominent look.

Ah, rather Safira looked at him with an unpleasant smile of satisfaction?

Saqila..bingung, he felt like Safira was mocking him?

Butwhy?

Consciously, Saqila then focused her gaze on the figure of Annisa who was looking at her pity?

Hey, how presumptuous is that damn look!

The one who should give such a look was actually Saqila and not Annisa!

The one everyone threw away was Annisa and not Saqila, so why was Annisa so big of a head after getting the proposal from Gio?

Huh, how arrogant!

"She," Pointing at Annisa with her index finger, Saqila then turned her gaze to look at Gio who was still firmly staring at her.

"What do you see of the widow?" He continued asking in his hateful tone. Whatever, why pretend in front of everyone again. After all they also knew who was hurting here, so behaving like this was something natural in a desperate state.

Cold, "Something that's not in you." Gio replied without batting his head.

Raising his eyebrows, "What did I not have of him?, Ah, perhaps more precisely he did not have what I had." Saqila's voice tried to sound as calm as possible.

"I always give in when a man comes to propose to me, I always reject their presence because I want him to be happy first. Butwhy? Why is it that when I ask for my happiness, he is selfish and does not care about my happiness." A sound of bitterness filled the room. Attracting the sympathy of the Annisa family who again looked at Annisa one eye. To think that this girl was actually shameless and grateful. So greedy and indifferent to the happiness of his sister. Though Saqila had fought hard to make Annisa happy, but unfortunately her brother had feelings so that Saqila's happiness did not come and lost direction.

"Then what you want finally came too, our sister Annisa was finally able to get her happiness. He's getting married and you can pursue your happiness." Then Safira's indifferent voice interrupted the unpleasant whispers from her family.

Ah, how low.

Flinched, Safira stiffly turned her gaze to look at Safira who was now also looking at her. Even his sitting position was exactly the same as he did.

"But the man I wanted to marry was taken by her." Accuse Saqila of defending herself. After all, it was just his wits when he refused all the men who came because the choice he was waiting for still had not come to the house.

Laughing little, Safira then got up from her seat. He stood before everyone who looked at him confused.

"Sorry, I'm allowed to stand." Said Safira confidently while fixing her clothes that had tangled.

"Safira, what are you doing?" Annisa panicked when she found Sapphira had just woken up from her seat.

And foolishly why did he not realize that Sapphira had woken up from her seat?

"Capturing rats.." Safira whispered but still can be heard by others.

Huh, this drama moreover?

The two fight each other over the men, the other Inging catches the rats.

Is this family in trouble?

"If it takes Mas Gio away from you, wouldn't Mas Gio himself have said that you and he have nothing to do but a teacher and a student?"

Checkmate!

Safira's playful remarks were immediately right about his target. This should have been precisely piercing the target but Safira knew that this kind of person would never be deterred with just one strike.

"What do you mean Safira? Older brother.. I know Mas Gio has nothing to do with me but that doesn't mean Annisa can get close to the person I like." Furious, Saqila did not know what Safira's purpose was like this and he also could not foolishly mean that Safira seemed to know something.

Tilting her head, she gave Saqila a thin smile that could not reach her eyes. "So what right do you have to say this?"

"Safira, enough! It's not polite"

"I'll show Umi and Abi what the princess's face you've been proud of is like. My sister-ah-ah, no, I mean this monster that you guys have worked so hard to raise has been biting all of you for a long time. To poison and discolor your hearts, well without you knowing it of course." Cut Sapphira quickly, even her sharp eyes were so straight and focused on looking at the red eyes of Umi who looked so surprised.

She sassy?

Then let's see who's more sassy here!

"Safira-"

"Abi, I told you not that I'd make you regret everything you've done that day. Well, now's the time so sit down well and pay attention to what points you get from my show." Abi was not given a chance to speak. For Sapphira, Umi and Abi just need to sit down and pay attention to what he does because then Sapphira can clearly know that their regrets are so deep.

Safira could not wait to see that.

"Safira, they are both our parents so it's really rude to behave like this to both of them." Remember Saqila took the time to look for the face and sympathy of her family.

Raising her eyebrows, "Oh, where have you been while cutting Umi's words? Is your rude attitude polite enough to give to our parents?" Not to be outdone, Safira happily dropped Saqila's face in front of everyone.

"I'm acting like that because I'm in a state of sadness so it's only natural that I lose control." Elak Saqila seeks justification.

Smiling obliquely, "Even if you are mentally disturbed it is unnatural to give both of our parents such a rude attitude. After all, something that makes it as sad as that is your fantasy. Act as if Mas Gio is your lover, telling everyone that he is yours.. Saqila, isn't that too sad?"

"You know nothing.."

Little laugh, "I asked you what right you had to forbid Annisa and Gio to be together when you two had no relationship, well this question is true I don't know the answer...so please tell me to increase my knowledge." Mocking, Safira blatantly stared at the cynical Saqila who still looked so dazed.

Encouragement, "Because I'm the single most perfect girl for Mas Gio. While Annisa.she is full of reproach and dirty, also she has become a widow so it does not seem like she is side by side with Gio." Already he said it wasn't that the only person who could live with Gio was himself. They are both perfect and fit to live together so there is no shortage of any doubt in Saqila, she is the perfect girl.

Sticking his head up, Sapphira's thin smile was now getting clearer on his face. "Ah, so this big brother of ours is a man of blemish and filth?" Ask Safira to make sure.

Nodding lightly, "Then what about you?"

Confused, "What?"

"Is that name not actually reversed?"

"You mean?" Saqila was confused.

Seeing Saqila's confusion, Safira could not help but laugh. Clapping his hands, he acted as if he was playing an opera drama.

"Alright, let's be clear if you still don't understand. Reprehensible and dirty, why would Annisa be able to get this impression on you?"

Honestly, "It was because she was no longer holy and on the night of her wedding, Annisa was immediately divorced by her ex-husband." After all, which person would not look down on him after hearing this story, huh.it was impossible.

"Then, did you ever confirm to yourself that Annisa was no longer holy?" Ask probing.

Surprised, "I don't, but with Annisa divorced on her first night isn't this proof that she's no longer holy. Just think about what kind of problem would make Annisa divorce within a few hours if it wasn't because her ex-husband had found Annisa in a state that was no longer a virgin." This explanation made perfect sense to the Annisa family and would naturally support this argument. Guess who dares to guarantee that Annisa is a good girl after all?

"Oh, how naive." Mumbled Safira lazily. Grabbing his phone he then fiddled with it, a few seconds later his gaze fell on the figure of Puspa who had just been silent and watching the drama.

Smiling sweetly, the phone he was playing was placed again in his clothes bag.

"But Saqila, someone once told me that what made Annisa's ex-husband leave her that night was you. Ahhh.. How is this, can you explain it?" This speech suddenly made the voices heard again. There were even some Annisa family who looked at Sapphira strangely, dropping her Brother in front of other families isn't this too much?

Straining, Saqila's two hands involuntarily stiffened. "What empty mouth are you trying to say?" He asked in panic but was covered with his calm face.

Smiling, "Do I have to say it in front of everyone?" Ask for an opinion.

"You destroyed Annisa's marriage!" Safira's calm yet sharp voice entered everyone's hearing.

Surprised, "Safira.. I think this is too much. Enough, don't extend it any more.." Annisa didn't know whether to cry or be happy after hearing this. He wanted to not believe what Safira had said just now but he also knew that Sapphira would never have originally spoken let alone this in front of everyone.

Shifting her gaze, Safira looked at Annisa with her sweet smile. "Sister, it's going to be over soon so please just be patient." Safira did not listen.

Then, the soft face that had shaded Safira's soft face vanished replaced by his playful face.

"Don't talk about Safira, you...Umi, Abi see Safira! He is slandering me!" Adu Saqila tried to get help.

"Wait for Abi, Umi, wait until I finish my business then I will allow you to defend her as much as you can." Said Safira stop the action of his parents who will issue words of defense.

"That night Mas Dimas left not because he was disappointed with Kak Annisa, but it was precisely because of the game that you did with Puspa so that it made him without a second thought directly tell Kak Annisa." Safira continued to calm down.

Putting himself limp, he frantically felt Puspa's hand beside him.

"lik! How could Puspa and I do that? Safira, please don't do this.. Brother knows that a few days of living with Annisa makes your brain become like this. Even Mas Gio was brainwashed so I will forgive you and Mas Gio if you stop all this nonsense."

"So.so what am I saying is this a lie?" Seemed to be thinking, "But Puspa, is it true that I said earlier it was a lie?" Diverting the target, now Safira asked directly to Puspa who had been silent.

Stunned, Puspa stiffly raised his face looking at Safira who was definitely looking at him.

"Of course it's a lie you don't need la-"

"I asked Puspa, didn't you hear me?" Cut the cold Sapphira.

Don't budge, "Yes but the answer will always be the same so you don't have to ask"

"No," Puspa slashed quietly without glancing at Saqila who had grasped her hand tightly.

"You didn't lie and it's true that we both ruined Annisa's marriage." He continued still remained indifferent to the surrounding atmosphere that began to fuss. Even her sturdy eyes were one too afraid to see the reactions of both parents as well as Annisa.

Devastated, he has ruined his best friend's life and left both of his parents disappointed.

Puspa knew there was no apology for him.

"No..." Denied Saqila did not believe.

"So.so you too have been influenced by Annisa, conscious Puspa! Annisa is a monster. He's ugly and disgusting, you don't have to hide any more truth! Tell Puspa, tell him that you've been influenced by him all this time!" Saqila panicked. Even her already watery red eyes threatened to descend and flow gently on her beautiful face.

"Enough Saqila." Puspa's voice is weak. He gently pulled Saqila's hand from her hand. Pulling her away she didn't want to stay close like this.

Moreover, he also felt the pain of seeing the panicked face of Saqila who was afraid, but the truth is still a truth. If thought about the only person who felt pain here was Annisa.

Accepting all the scorn and insults that Annisa did not deserve.

But in fact Annisa got it all because of what?

Because of everything they both have done. Not fair, is it?

It's unfair to mess up the scenario God made for Annisa.

Then he calmly looked at Saqila with an equally painful look. "That's enough, just end this whole thing up here. Annisa's been too sick with everything we've done and I can't stand her pain anymore." Say Puspa in a soft and careful voice.

"Puspa... why?"

"I'm tired of Saqila, I'm tired of having to be like this forever. Caught in a cruel sense of guilt, I don't want to be there much longer."

Shifting his gaze, Puspa confidently got up from his seat. Standing up, he then looked at his two parents who looked so dazed. They may be so shocked to hear his confession and disappointed in the only daughter they have always been proud of.

But this is still not enough, this is still not a full recognition from him so the disappointment of both parents will definitely deepen again later.

"I admit, I admit that the failure of Annisa and Mas Dimas' marriage came from my plan and Saqila's. Even Annisa's rumor spread that night started with us." Admit's calm.

Closing her mouth, Annisa's body suddenly felt cold after hearing that. Even just making a sound was difficult for Annisa.

Right, who wouldn't be surprised to hear this. The person he had considered as a sister and friend turned out to work together to bring him down.

Isn't this too cruel?

"That night I called Mas Dimas and got him to divorce Annisa. Why would Mas Dimas divorce Annisa so easily?"

"That's because I'm Mas Dimas' ex-lover." He answered his own question.

Strongly clinging to his clothes, Puspa desperately tried to calm himself so as not to limp and end up falling.

"Did Umi remember? One year ago I told Umi that I'm going to marry someone I've liked for a long time?" Puspa in a hoarse voice asked Umunya who had been leaning on Abinya.

For a moment, Umi Puspa's memory fell into a brief chat one year ago. Indeed at that time Puspa came to him and said that he would marry the man who had attracted his heart.

But after one month later Puspa said that he was no longer interested in the man so their plans for marriage were also canceled.

Is that man Dimas?

"True Umi, that man is Dimas." As if he could read Uminya's mind, Puspa said who the man was.

"I was originally going to marry her but I was forced to cancel because of the plan Saqila had prepared for Annisa. He said I had to break up with Dimas and frame Dimas in order to meet Annisa. And as you know we managed to marry Dimas to Annisa, tying Annisa in a pseudo-household. The plan became even more successful after I played my role as Mas Dimas' ex-lover. I called her after the contract and asked her to divorce Annisa. Pulling it to my side again and making Mas Dimas humiliate Annisa in front of a lot of people. Then we finally spread the Annisa rumor, making everyone believe that Annisa is no longer holy. Ak-"

"Liar!" Waking up, Saqila pulled the rough Puspa clothes to face her.

"Stop this shit! Are you crazy, huh?" Angry growling.

"Wah.wah this is only the first witness, but you have gone berserk. Hem, it turns out your brain is shallower than I thought. Even compared to Reina, you're much weaker." Ejek Safira was happy to once again attract the attention of Saqila.

"Who do you think is shallow?" Tanya Saqila hates.

Smiling, "Of course it's you, my demented prettiest brother." Again, Sapphira taunted Saqila with her provocative voice.

"Safira! Enough, stop this whole thing if it doesn't.."

"If it's okay?" Challenge Safira not fear.

"Are you going to make my life like Annisa's? Hah, just try it and you'll know the consequences."

"Ah, but before you try it, it's better to go through the second wave first. This second witness will decide whether or not you're a monster."

"Ka"

"Mas Dimas, I'll give you a place and time." Greet Safira sounds playful.

Again the Annisa family had to hold their breath with every surprise that happened today. Even from then on they did not want to speak out loud to interfere and choose to see this drama alone.

Although as part of this family makes them sick and ashamed of the family guests.

"Thank you, Safira." Suddenly a young man who was always sitting behind Gio finally stood up from his seat. Standing up, everyone could finally clearly notice who the man was.

Dimas?. Annisa's whisper was getting shocked. The old wounds were once again pulled out, reminding him of a very cruel reality. The event that Annisa always wanted to bury as deep as possible because when remembering it there will be a pain that stung her heart.

"He only came to help Brother while apologizing for his old mistake." Safira's voice whispered. He won Annisa with his soft, soothing voice.

Of course it would be difficult to make Annisa calm but to make Safira not feel worried he with all his might controls his expression that looks not good.

"Hey.why is this man also present here?" Perplexed, Saqila was so dazed to face every attack Safira gave her.

"I came here to justify what Puspa said earlier. It's true that I was Annisa's ex-boyfriend and it's true that I divorced Annisa because I got a call from Puspa. All that happened was my carelessness that did not realize that there was a trap that Puspa and Saqila had prepared for me. In fact, I could have sworn in God's name that I didn't touch Annisa that night too far and I could have made sure that she was still holy." Take a long breath.

"I'm sorry for running away from my responsibilities. If only I had just come back and told you what Puspa and Saqila had done to Annisa. Please forgive me."

Downcast, Dimas did not dare to raise his face just to stare at the response the Annisa family had given him. He also did not dare to see the response Annisa gave him. The beautiful girl, if time could be played she promised not to repeat her mistake. Ignoring the call from Puspa and focusing on building a household with Annisa.

But baby, isn't that just fantasy?

Well, if you have regrets like this then it will be difficult to live a peaceful life.

"Umi, Abi, did you guys hear that? Ah, no. I mean all of you who claim to be family but always corner my brother! Scorned him! Look at him like a monster! Did you all hear it?" Shouted Safira furiously. He was so angry with his former helplessness that he could do nothing.

Can only watch her brother being hurt, humiliated, reviled without being able to do anything about it.

Safira hated that day!

"Have you all heard that the girl you've been proud of and held high," pointed at the empty-looking Saqila.

"It's a real monster!" Cold next.

"When my Brother tearfully explained to you what really happened, you were deaf and rebutted my Brother with your rightful pretentious arguments. It's as if my brother's weeping of disappointment is just crocodile tears for all of you!." He recalls when Dimas had just left their house. Annisa is dragged out by her family and interrogated with accusatory views.

Who was most injured at the time?

Shouldn't that be Annisa?

But why do they seem to suffer the most there?

It's disgusting!

"Are you fools? Did you never think that the only person who suffered the most there was Annisa?. Poor bride left without a clear explanation, you seem to ignore this fact. You just think that Annisa's not a good girl and you're ashamed to have a blood relationship with her!"

"Safira, enough Dek.don't continue again hiks.." Please Annisa is not strong anymore to hear everything. The cruel past was so dark, Annisa did not want to remember it anymore. Because at that time no one would listen to him but Abi. But Abi slowly eroded his belief in Annisa so slowly Annisa just stood there alone.

Annisa has no place to lean in this house, actually.

Glancing at Annisa who could only cry in pain, how could Safira possibly let her Brother be constantly hurt by all of them?

No, there's no chance!

"No, my sister, I promised myself to embarrass them all. Please don't stop me from fulfilling this promise." Pinta Safira turned back and had no intention of stopping the action.

"Enough.better we-"

"Abi, how can this Abi be selfish?" Cut Sapphira with a playful expression.

"Safira, there's another family here so we better end this meeting." Abi suggested. Because the truth has been revealed so it's good if they discuss it with their families only.

"Ha.. does Abi feel ashamed before Mas Gio's family?. I think Abi felt sorry for throwing Annisa away a few months ago.."

Silence, Abi wanted to argue but what Sapphira said had its own truth. He as the head of the family has cruelly pushed Annisa away from this house.

Of course he felt sorry.

"Not only Abi, but Umi also always cornered Annisa. Looking at her with a cold stranger's gaze, Umi how does Umi feel now?" Safira asked curiously to Umi who was already leaning down beside Abi.

Unable to say anything, Umi could only respond to Sapphira with a bitter cry. Her feelings as a mother have really been tested all along. Why didn't she realize there was something strange between her children?

Has she failed to become a trustworthy mother?

Smiling satisfied, "You two can't say anything, can you?"

"Of course you two can't say anything because you just realized now that the girl you've always been proud of is a monster. Brother, the three of us are siblings but the cruelty of the blood relationship does not affect him to destroy his own brother's life. Tell.. What call is more suitable for him than monsters?"

Shut up. Everyone didn't say anything. There are only sobs in this room. Even some children and parents hugged Annisa there. Hugged him with guilt and an apology.

"Saqila's.." Carefully Abi helps Umi get up from her seat.

"Say, son, is everything Puspa and Dimas say true?" Even though he already knew the answer, Umi still asked this to Saqila.

Approaching Saqila who had just been silent standing next to Puspa with a blank look that cheered.

"Tell Umi, son, is everything Puspa and Dimas say true!" Shouted Umi desperately wanting to reach Saqila but was held firmly by Abi and Gio's two parents.

Realizing, Saqila only realized that Uminya was now crying hard looking at him. Blocked by Abi and Gio's parents, Saqila sees as if Umi is eager to reach out and slap him viciously.

Ah, seeing this scene suddenly made Saqila feel a chill. The cold feeling he had felt as a child today came again.

Huh..Saqila hated this feeling.

"True, what they said about me is true." Then the sound of Umi's loud cries filled the room. Shouting loudly he with all his might wanted to grab Saqila in front of him.

"Why did you do that, son. astagfirullah.." Even Abi could not help his tears of sadness. He cried with the pain that filled his heart.

Smiling coldly, "Why did you say?" Ask mockingly.

Seriate...
