BUCIN STARLA'S HUSBAND

SAH

"Starla..," call Meisya.

The girl looked at the middle-aged woman who called out to her. His tears decayed, Devandra immediately hugged his future wife.

Starla looked up, her gaze and Devandra met. "I have a complete family like you, Yang?"

Devandra smiled slightly, then nodded. While in his place, Edward lowered his head while crying on his mother's shoulders.

"But why are you coming now?" ask Starla to Devandra.

Meisya walks in a wheelchair towards Starla who is still in Devandra's arms. "Oma, Papa, and Mother, will explain this to Starla."

The middle-aged woman approached Devita. "Rani, listen to Mama. Every day Mama never prayed for you and Starla, because Mama was sure you survived the cruelty of Mama's husband."

"Rani, Kale and Novita's marriage is not based on love. Novita and Kale are victims of the selfishness of their parents. Novita has returned to the man she loved six years ago" Meisya said.

Meisya threw her eyes at Edward. "With the Mama's son. Ever since that divorce, Kale's been looking for you and Starla."

Devita smiled, she sat crouched down in front of the middle-aged woman's wheelchair. Devita clasped Meisya's hand.

"So Starla should have gone back to her house. I think my job is done" Devita said. "I gave Starla back to Kale and Mama. Starla must return to her owner. And that's Kale."

"No!" deny the girl. Starla let go of her embrace. "Starla belongs to Mom. From childhood, Starla was with Mom. Now, Starla has one more person. Starla only has Mom and Devan. Starla doesn't need anyone."

"La," said Devandra.

"Devan, you shouldn't have done this."

"Starla Dengerin Mama -"

"No! Starla doesn't want to hear," the girl screeched, covering her ears. The girl was crying.

"Starla." Kale approached the girl. "Anged Papa. Salahin Papa can't take care of Starla and Mom" Edward said.

Starla laughed with tears. His heart was hurt to see the figure of the man who Devandra said was his real father. It does. Starla is not hypocritical, today is the answer to many questions and neighbors who say that Starla has no resemblance to Devita.

Starla admits that she looks like the man in front of her now.

"From childhood Starla never asked who Starla's father was. Where's she. Starla was afraid of my feelings" she said, staring at Edward.

"Starla," call Edward.

"Starla envies Devan with a complete family" she tells Edward. "Starla is afraid of not being accepted by Devan's family because Starla doesn't have a father."

"Starla's got Papa, '" said Edward.

"Yes. Starla's got a dad," the girl said.

Devita, Meisya, and also Devandra heard and looked at the conversation of two people who had been separated by a dozen years.

"Devan..," call Starla. "I have Papa now."

The girl's cry broke as Edward hugged her. This is what it feels like to be hugged by a father? So shady. Starla hugged Edward even tighter.

"Starla and I are not alone" cried Edward. "Nothing is far away. No one separated us anymore. Papa loves Starla and Mom."

The sound of pantofel shoes echoed throughout the room on the first floor. The man with the white tuxedo looked neat, with a red rose on his pocket.

The woman who is today forty-two years old descends the steps, with the husband not removing the grip on her waist.

Helsa is pretty in a white dress, and Adryan is very masculine in his black suit.

"Happy Birthday, Mommy. It's a gift to Mami, not as fancy as what Papi always loved," Devandra remarked melancholy.

Helsa laughed, holding back her tears that were almost shed. "Children's handsome Mami. Hugs Mami," cried Helsa.

Take off that hug. Devandra then turns and hugs Adryan.

"Papi.., this little Devandra blessing chanted the veils to completion. Devandra's prayers can be like Papi who always loves Mami, although often asked to keep separating," Devandra's pinta interspersed with laughter.

That day coincided with Helsa's birthday.

Bali, September 01.

Adryan hugs Devandra. Longer than Helsa, her mind was crying. His little Devandra is getting married, and has a family of her own.

"Ara not hugged either?" Little girl Devandra, it's a Devandra.

"Come, honey," Helsa approached Cemara and carried the girl in a warm embrace.

Time passes so quickly. It feels like just yesterday Adryan created the name Cemara Ayudhia when Devandra was still in the womb of Helsa. Now, those kids are grown up. Have a partner and leave them.

"If the twins exist, we must be crowded huh, Papi," said Cemara suddenly.

"Mami ok?" Devandra confirmed Helsa's feelings when her little sister discussed her twin sister.

Man is created by reason and feeling. Although it was a dozen years ago, Helsa even still keeps a pregnancy notebook owned by her twins and also a photo of USG.

Helsa nodded small, then smiled. "Mommy's got Devandra and Cemara. In a minute, there's gonna be Starla too, right?"

"I love you so much." Adryan peeping temple Helsa, lama. "Happy Birthday, my dear."

"Hadehhhh, bucin does not know the place and age," circus Devandra and Cemara.

"It's so pretty" whispered Devandra.

Starla sat next to Devandra. Putting on a ring, then kissing each other. Cheers rang out from the invited guests as Devandra screeched over the pleasure at the banquet.

So happy, Devandra got her Starla.

Starting from akad to sungkeman that morning went well. Helsa endlessly cries when Devandra says that she is Mami's son forever.

The wedding reception that night was still with the outdoor theme of Rustic, the only difference was the location. Great event, and also great. Devandra really made her marriage that perfect. He said, this is once in a lifetime.

One by one the closest people Devandra and Starla gave advice to the newlyweds.

Adryan is one of them.

"Sander." Adryan looked at him for a moment.

"The first time she was told by her mother that she was going to Bandung to propose to Starla, I was very nervous. I was afraid she would be rejected by the beautiful girl. She brought her Mama's proposal ring, and I threatened her. If you can't get under Starla as Papi's son-in-law, your name on the family card is gone."

Everyone laughed at Adryan's story.

"He was driving to Bandung when I called that afternoon. But after one day the boy disappeared, he finally contacted us. He called me like this he said 'Papi, she said yes!'"

"Two weeks later. We are a big family to Bandung to apply for Starla officially" Adryan said. "But next week, maybe Devandra's name is actually removed from the Family Card."

At the end of the word, Devandra approached Adryan and hugged her Papi. Everyone applauded. The atmosphere became more moving as Starla approached the father and son, and Adryan embraced her daughter-in-law.

After Adryan, there was Jefri and also his wife who told a short story about Devandra. Then the groom lifts a glass of champagne upwards.

"Starla Meisha. We've been separated for four years because of something else I can't tell you here. Maybe if I didn't meet him, I wouldn't be standing here right now."

"Let's toast to my beautiful bride tonight" cried Devandra, then all followed her, toast to them.

What an amazing day. Engraved sweetly the names of two human children in the pelaminan.
