Confidence(new)

.c47

The focus of Rizal, who had fallen on the hijab-wearing woman standing beside Nanta, now moved on the beautiful figure that walked up to them. The blue color of your eye bead really drowns the focus of those who look at it.

A sweet smile adorned her beautiful face, the most shining figure capable of shifting the focus of everyone who saw her. Even Umi and Abi who had just smiled at the proximity of Nanta and Nadia now became a little stunned because the presence of Dara who was standing at Nanta's side made them smile restrained.

Physically, Dara is very superior when compared to Nadia, but Umi and Abi know if Nadia is beautiful her father. They looked at each other when Nanta now looked like he had two wives standing on either side of him.

"Well, who's so pretty. Is that Nanta's girlfriend?"

"Yes pretty pisan eui, where it fits Nanta's same gravestone!"

"Yes, Dito it's your son to choose a partner."

Abi just smiled in response to his friends misinterpreting what was before them. Umi showed a face of annoyance because her favorite daughter-in-law so misunderstood. If Nadia had heard all this it would have been sad too.

"No! my son is married. That's his wife on his right" Umi pointed at Nadia who was standing on Nanta's right.

"Oh, is that your son-in-law? I thought the beautiful one on the left, I didn't know your son was married?" ask one of Umi's friends who had been praising Andara's beauty.

"They're newlyweds, the recipe will follow!" Umi can smile again.

They continued to talk, Umi proud of her son-in-law.

"who is this beauty?" tanya aunt Maya curious also amazed at the beauty of Andara.

"Em, she .." neither did Nanta finish his words, Dara already said.

"Hallo aunt, I am Andara's friend brother Nanta," said Andara introduced herself with a friendly smile despite the heart resisting grief.

Nanta immediately turned his head and stared intently at Andara, but was ignored by Andara. Indeed who made him have no current position, the man who kicked him out of that position, until now he was almost smashed into pieces.

"I'm Nanta's aunt, and this is my future daughter-in-law. You're not Indonesian, are you?" ask aunt Maya after introducing herself.

"I'm an Indonesian aunt," Dara who has badmood increasingly upset just get the question.

He used to feel foreign to be in his family, now he also feels foreign to be near his lover. Andara wants to laugh at her life full of expulsion drama. Was his presence ever wanted?

Trying to ward off tears that almost came out with a laugh when Rizal joined in praising her beauty, the man got a jolt from Aunt Maya for praising other women besides his daughter.

Not even he set a heart that is almost divorced, has been added again with innuendo that makes his ears itchy.

Those who were jealous of her beauty made heartless remarks accusing her of being a seductive woman.

It was hot his ears heard the insinuations that continued to corner him. He's only a 17-year-old, why can people think so small about him. Dara only laughed when someone blatantly insulted her.

"Eh Nanta, look out for the same catch that one. The newlyweds are usually at risk if the arrival of a seductress," shouted someone who made Nanta growled, while Nadia just lowered her head.

"Hud can you please don't make trouble right here!" tegur aunty Maya who does not like there is a commotion on her show.

"I'm just reminding you, especially if the teaser is that pretty!" chirp that person again who made several pairs of eyes directed at them especially at the beautiful girl in white dress.

Dara just smiled, the mother was inadvertently acknowledging her beauty, even though in an insulting way.

Dara saw that Nanta's face was unsightly. The clenched hand he grabbed, then grasped it while giving a smile to tell if he was okay.

Nanta who saw the face of his lover still displays a smile on his beautiful face so increasingly upset. Girls as good as her lover are still in contempt, even those who insult her are not necessarily good.

"Please pull my words, she's a good girl!" nanta's reprimand on the mother who insulted Andara.

Seeing the atmosphere so like this aunty Maya told them to sit while waiting for the kabul ijab to be carried out. Dara chose to sit a little far from Nanta, but he forgot if he was the main focus other than the bride and groom who were sitting in front of the penghulu. Many men tried to sit next to him, inviting scorn from the women who were jealous of him.

Dara responded to the person sitting next to her kindly, fortunately the man sitting to his left as one of the performers was very supple. He will be filling out two songs after Ijab kabul later. Dara chatted with the man familiarly, only known name is Jack.

Nanta had noticed that the two looked so familiar that they were annoyed, his eyes constantly glancing sharply to the point of piercing into the soul. Nadia who was right next to him felt her arms burning a little, she just smiled seeing her husband acting like a child.

Nadia is jealous of her husband staring at another woman, but isn't she the one who snatched Nanta from Andara? you should have been angry with her, but the girl did not even show the slightest hostility towards her. Nadia began to understand why Nanta could fall for the Catholic girl, because Andara is a good girl.

The kabul festival has been completed, now Rizal and Vira have legally become a couple before God also legally. There is a sungkeman event after, Nadia and Nanta as cousins participate in the procession.

Dara just stayed silent in her chair. He smiled behind the bloody wound he had in his heart. Isn't this what he wants to make sure, seeing the people he loves happy. Nanta will not be happy if he is with him because Andara will not be able to provide family harmony like that, especially they are different beliefs. The laughter from Umi and Abi also made a smile expand on her lips.

Andara saw everyone laughing happily, some even cried after Ijab kabul in chanting. So you imagine if he married Ananta, how did they get married? This is called loving without being able to have.

The droplets of tears that were dripping obscured her gaze, a single tear behind the smile that was still visible on her beautiful face. A call from the stage surprised him.

There Jack stood holding his guitar and finished singing a song successfully, the man waved his hand, calling out without a sound, Dara was sure from the movement of the man's lips was telling him to sing along. Dara shook her head, how could she sing when she was holding back tears.

But instead of giving up, Jack called out to her with a loud shout. He was forced to walk towards the stage. His face was still with a look of rejection.

"Gue doesn't want to sing Jack!"

They had a chance to talk about the type of music Jack used to sing at a party, and from that conversation Jack knew if you could sing.

"Gue guitar is bang! if the piano doesn't memorize the notes!" andara's whining is responded to by Jack's incredulous look.

"Seriously me!" added Andara reassured.

"Yes, that's it." Jack handed the guitar to Andara.

"What song is this bang?"

"Anyway, according to Lo's mood!" answer Jack who seems to know what you are feeling.

"Emmm, I don't think I'm in the mood singing a happy song bang!" replied Andara slowly while looking down, she could not sing a sad song at the wedding.

"Yes, the sad song is also not papa. This is to entertain invited guests. Like regular singing, usually there is also a request for a sad song, angry, disappointed no Dara problem." answer bang Jack makes Andara start choosing a song that is currently right with what he feels.

"The wrong embrace. Can't it bang?" youara's question was only answered nod by bang Jack.

To be honest, seeing Andara makes Jack remember his sister who is also the same age as Andara, a hobby of singing as well, but he died two years ago. Jack is indeed an easy going person, but never with a more familiar feeling like when with Andara. Whether it's because Andara is beautiful or because it reminds him of his sister, Jack obviously wants to be more familiar with Andara.

The chants began to play, initially still not getting the attention of the guests, but once the voice of a woman was heard melodiously and in they began to pay attention to the stage.

🎶

*I never thought

suddenly you are present

the most beautiful person I could never have imagined

previously

which makes my day beautiful

and if it's been together for too long

I'm afraid of getting bored

and you fell into the wrong embrace

on the wrong hug

I realize it's not easy to take care of you

which is not entirely mine

and I wouldn't be willing if

when you're with the others.

And if it's been together for too long

I'm afraid of getting bored

and you fell into the wrong embrace

and I wouldn't be willing

when you fall into the wrong embrace*.

The song goes so deep to touch the hearts of those who hear it, as well as Nadia and Ananta's parents, especially Ananta himself. He was also slashed to hear every lyric sung by his lover.

Dara who realized that she was ruining the happy atmosphere with the sad atmosphere she presented so smiled wistfully at the guests who were still looking at her.

But unexpectedly he even got applause from them, who had been blasphemous so they were filled and gave applause for the beautiful girl.

Nanta could not look back at Andara, he just fell down with tears that fell down without being prevented. Eager as he hugged the girl at this moment, he was an evil man who had injured the beautiful girl up ahead there. Can he now look at the blue bead again as usual, he just felt the pain, let alone Andara who felt the wound deeper.
