DREAM OF THE SHADOW

CHAPTER 69

Yuna hands over all of Jovan's equipment to the nurse in the NICU. Jovan will be treated there probably about a month. And in time, Yuna and Shua will pick him up. Fortunately, there was an heir letter and the transition of guardians to Nissa so that all the hospital affairs went smoothly. Nissa cried when Vanya's body was put in the coffin. Shua and Yuna also cried to see him.

In Indonesia, after a joint prayer, Vanya's body was finally buried in the cemetery area belonging to the William family. The four of them then went back to Shua's house.

"Stay here Yuna. You must be tired." said Nissa who looked tired with a face that was still full of sadness.

"Yes, Yun. Above is an empty room, next to Shua's room." William spoke up. Yuna turned to Shua and the man nodded in agreement. Yuna was actually very tired, like she had not rested in the least since setting foot in Singapore yesterday. Everything felt so draining and draining of his energy and feelings.

"Oh yes, son. Mama thinks you should get married soon. It's for Jovan. Mama wants you to adopt her after you're officially married. At least if there's legal force, Vanya's will that Jovan be nurtured by us could be safer."

"Right Mama said, Papa thought so too. Yuna, invite your parents here. Om will book the ticket. Just decide the date."

"Om OK."

"Call us Mama and Papa from now on." Nissa hugged her future daughter-in-law and stroked Yuna's black hair.

"Good, Ma." Yuna returned her embrace.

"Your feet really don't have a problem?" yuna asked as Shua escorted Yuna to her room.

"Yes, no need to worry. I'll still do physiotherapy and check up here. Thank you, dear. I am so grateful that you came there yesterday. I don't know how it would be without you." Shua hugged him tightly.

"Aren't you the one who banned me from going there? Good thing I'm wayward."

"Yes, sorry. I just wanted to surprise you."

"Darling, I kept thinking of Jovan." said Yuna.

"Why?"

"So, I just miss him."

"Why do I feel like there's a rival now?"

"Haha...Don't be jealous." Yuna suddenly let go of her embrace.

"Darling, I'd like to ask you for an affirmation. You know, when I was married, I couldn't have kids. I've been on medication and there's nothing wrong with my health. I just don't want this to be a problem one day in our marriage."

"I knew... I know, Honey. Thank you for reminding me of that. I reiterate once again, there will never be a problem about it in our household. Even if everyone were to dispute that, I will always be by your side and will always defend you. That's my promise." Shua kissed her forehead. Although Yuna never thought about the problem, but Nissa's sudden request for them to get married soon made Yuna think a little about the worst possibility in her second marriage later.

*****

Yuna had finished telling her parents about her marriage. He and Shua plan to get married in Bali in two weeks. The event was held at his friend's hotel there. Yuna tells her everything about what happened with Vanya to her mother, as well as her plans and Shua who is about to adopt Jovan. His mother was very supportive of the plan. His parents will probably come to Jakarta in a week. They need fittings of clothes that Yuna and Nissa have already ordered. They have ordered modern kebaya according to the given size.

"Yuna, try these shoes deh." said Cathy while thrusting ivory white stilettos with a swarovski stone decoration. She was very excited when Yuna asked her to be the bridesmaid.

"Mmmm...Find a rather polosan deh Cat. You're looking for dong too, my gift for you bridesmaid."

"Sir Jo asks who is her escort?" ask Cathy.

"Don't know. Maybe his friend has a place. I heard he's not married."

"Beautiful?" ask Cathy while glancing at the centile.

"Why haven't you told Mr. Adit about your marriage? Two weeks to go."

"If you tell him, it must be sure. I'm still confused. Males thought there were two of them at my wedding. You know what, right?" Yuna tried out some plain shoes with different colors and models.

"Ngerti. It's just that this could be an opportunity for you to point to the kunti if you can get better than the man he is."

"Haha...Want anyway. I'll have a discussion with Shua later, at least I should keep her feeling as well."

Yuna is confused as to how to take care of her wedding in two weeks. There is a wedding organizer that prepares everything. But still Yuna had to provide a list of invited guest names. Fortunately, Cathy was helping him. Honestly, Yuna does not have other friends because since long ago she only believed in one ex-best friend.

This afternoon he and Shua will meet with the WO side. Yuna only had four more hours to hand over the name of the invitation from her side. Last night his parents gave him 25 names of family and close friends. Not too much indeed. While he only has a handful of acquaintances who are not too close. Cathy, Cathy, please,.... Should he invite the office? Ah it feels unnecessary, Yuna decided to buy lunch for them. It's a bit strange to invite office employees to her second wedding in Bali where Yuna's ex-husband is their boss in the office. Yuna typed Dylan Richardson's name into her computer's excel program. He has not yet told me about his marriage. But he knew Dylan must have been there because he happened to be in Bali. Adit is left confused. But he should have told her that. I don't want him to take a leave of absence. Aditya Radiansyah. Only 11 people were invited.  Yes, he did not want to invite much.

Yuna and Shua meet an hour before the WO party comes to the cafe near Yuna's office. They want to discuss in advance about the invited guests and others.

"Your feet are healthy, honey? When's therapy? I'm with ya." Yuna said as she watched Shua in her work clothes. It seemed like it had been a long time since Yuna had seen such a figure of Shua. Sometimes everything that happened yesterday was like a nightmare.

"I'm healthy. Don'worry. Maybe Saturday I'm in therapy. Where's your guest list? This is mine. 85 guests other than family. Family is my mom's business."

"There are many of your friends" Yuna said. They also exchanged papers containing the names of guests. Yuna looked at the names in her hands. There are some that he knows like Shua High School friends who are also members of their band.

"Just 11?" ask Shua.

"Yes. My friend not much. The bottom there are 25 nursery mom with papa."

"Dylan Richardson's. Your friend that one?" Shua glanced towards Yuna.

"Yes. Who picked up your phone. Shua.there's something I want to tell you." Yuna's face looked serious. Shua was curious as to what Yuna would say after she mentioned the name of the man earlier.

"Say."

"About Dylan. At first he was a client of our company." Shua kept silent waiting for the continuation of the story.

"When I wanted to climb Mount Semeru two months ago, I accidentally met him there. He helped me a lot. From our partner, we became friends." Shua felt her feelings frown.

"And two weeks ago, when I was going to Singapore, I was escorted to the airport by her. On the way, I got sick and went to the hospital."

"Don't take a taxi? Or just park at the airport."

"sorry. He insisted on driving me. And it turned out to be me. because of appendicitis. I was operated on." Yuna lowered.

"Haaahhh???" Shua's voice filled the room.

"Goddessa Babe. That big thing you didn't tell me?" Yuna was afraid to see Shua's angry expression. He had never seen Adit angry at him.

"I'm afraid of interrupting your therapy." Yuna replied innocently.

Shua was just about to reply to Yuna when two female representatives of the Best Wedding Organizer came to their table. Forced Shua and Yuna to stop their debate for a moment. It felt like Shua was eager to cancel the meeting, but it was impossible because of their imminent marriage. Shua's male instinct says that Dylan must have liked Yuna. Then Yuna's phone is always answered by her, lest it be because...... Jeezahoo!! Was he the one who always kept Yuna in the hospital? Damn it!!! But where has he heard of Dylan Richardson? The name was not common, but Shua felt she had heard of it.
