DREAM OF THE SHADOW

CHAPTER 70

Shua drove Yuna home in silence. He did not understand how Yuna lied to him about the surgery he had undergone. Afraid of her worrying? Shua even seemed like a fool who knew nothing about her lover. And worse, there was another man who accompanied him through all that.

"Dear, sorry." Yuna looked very guilty as she looked at Shua who was only silent all the way. Shua stopped her car in front of Yuna's house. He was silent for a moment before finally turning towards Yuna.

"Darling, if I'm mad at Dylan, it means I'm not ready to get married because I doubt you. You know what disappointed me? We promised to rely on each other. But what have you done? You make me look stupid!" Shua's voice was rising.

"No. Ii'm sorry. I just don't want to overload your mind. It was a small operation. I meant to tell you in person, so I'll catch up with you a week later." Yuna crying. He knew he was wrong, but Yuna did not expect Shua to be that angry.

"I'm just worried about you, honey. Never do anything like this again. Don't ever make me the second person to know what happened to you, let alone the last." Yuna nodded while sobbing.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you." Shua hugged him and felt a little guilty. Yuna not only stopped crying, but she became. Maybe he was relieved to have told her everything and Shua had forgiven him too.

"Where is the former operation? Let me take a look. Still sore?" tanyakanya. Yuna shook her head as she lifted the edge of the blouse slightly to her right.

"So how are you going to pay me your fault?" ask Shua again. Yuna came forward and kissed for a moment the man's lips. She smiled before finally asking for more than that, a deeper kiss and a little wild.

"Honey, this Saturday I'm going to Bali to meet my friend where we get married. Just last night. You wanna come?" shua asked as she combed Yuna's hair with her finger.

"I can't. My parents came Friday, there's no way I'd leave them."

"Oh yeah, sorry I can't keep you company. Mario asked me and the WO party to go there to determine the decor, the arrangement of the show, and the menu."

"I should have accompanied you there." Yuna was a little pouting.

"It's okay. You must not be too tired. I don't want you to get sick on our first night hahaha..."

"Is that all you think about?" Yuna pinched Shua's cheek until the man screamed in pain.

*****

Dylan received a gold invitation card combined with silver. Joshua Austin William and Yuna Sakura. At last. There was something that required her to give up on her love. Even now he feels pain in his heart, or in his heart, or maybe in his neck that feels choked. I don't know, he doesn't know which part of his body feels the pain because the feeling has spread throughout his body. Dylan did not blame Yuna who could not reciprocate his feelings. He was the wrong one. But what's wrong if Yuna deserves to be loved. It's just the timing is not right. He gets to know Yuna when her relationship with Joshua is too strong. Nice, show's in a week, Paradise View hotel? Mario's? Oh no! Just recently he confided with Mario that he likes a sweet woman who already has a boyfriend. And now they're all going to gather at Yuna's wedding? Greats.. If he knew it would be like this, Dylan wouldn't have told Mario anything. I hope Mario doesn't know them.

'Congratulations on your marriage. I've received the invitation card.' Dylan sent a text message to Yuna. Not how long Yuna sent her reply.

'Make sure you're here to congratulate me in person.'

'You tortured me Yuna. Really am.'

'I'll introduce you to my girlfriend if you want.'

'No need. My women's stock still exists.'

'No. 'Tuh. Finally exposed to your cover hahaha..'

'Negative turns only you immediately believe. When I said you tortured me, you didn't respond.'

'It's not like that. Honestly, I really want you to be happy, Dylan, so if you want I'll introduce you to my friend.'

'thank you. But it really isn't necessary. Anyway, I'm only happy if you're happy. My waiting period is one year, if you are unhappy with her you can look for me.'

'Haha...Please don't pray for anything bad.'

'Don't misunderstand me. We don't know what will happen in the future. I'm just giving you an option. Of course I want you to be happy, even if it's not with me.'

'thank you. See you next week.'

Dylan didn't reply to her again. If he replied, he would lie again. Dylan happily welcomes Yuna next week, but not in her wedding dress. Not with another man in his arms.

"Add more handsome lo" said Shua.

"Lo tuh, the prettiest bride in the hotel gw hahaha...How are your parents? Do they remember me?" asked Mario as he walked towards the parking lot.

"good. Still remember. Temen gw who give free for them a week in Bali is lo doang hahaha..." Shua opened the black BMW car door and sat in the front passenger seat.

"How's lo? Still flirting?" joshua asked, looking towards Mario.

"Yup. Still feel like a singles." Mario laughs. I don't know why that question made him remember a little about his past.

"We're going straight to the hotel?" ask Mario.

"Eat first yuk. WO will arrive at 3 o'clock. He went straight to the hotel later, no need to be picked up he said."

"OKs. We eat chicken. I know the best places to eat in Bali." she said before she called someone.

"Sister, again in Lumbung Desa ga? I'm going there." he said.

"...."

"With my friend, he just got here."

"...."

"OKs. Thank you." - Thank you." Mario closed the call.

"Who?" ask Shua.

"My cousin-brother. He has the. The place is crowded especially gini lunch hour. If there is no place, just call it his name, we can enter the private room of the hahaha family...Bias, nepotism is always everywhere."

"How many invitations are you?" mario asked while eating the food in front of him.

"Three hundreds. Not very much. But the food should be above six hundred huh, not just times two. Many people come with family, all of them play to Bali, they said. Mama's already ordered no less food."

"Yes.iya...I could have strangled auntie if I had less. Shua, which girl? Curious I'm the same girl who can naklukin a cold guy like lo."

"She's my first love in High School, we met again when she was almost divorced."

"Huh? Bini's the guy you embat?"

"nothave. They divorced not because I, it's delicious!! She's definitely a special lady for me."

"Great also lo, first love can be a wife."

"If God permits, I hope he will be my last love."

"Ga thought I lo could be romantic hahaha..."

"Wait for you to meet the right woman, you'll also be romantic in time."

"Eh that's my cousin..Brother Dylan!!" call him. The name automatically makes Shua also turn his head towards the wave of Mario's hand. Sure enough! Shua remembers where she heard the name Dylan Richardson. Mario once mentioned the name when offering a vendor that will provide western food for his wedding later. Is he the same person?
