Accept destiny

Time shows at half-hour four in the afternoon.

Rianti looked at himself in front of the mirror.

From the reflection of the mirror looks shipping goods that are still wrapped neatly.

Things that look so expensive, but why can't I feel happiness in them? Why do I feel empty?

"Sniff ...."

Rianti exhaled. He looked back at his face in the mirror, as if he was gathering all his energy and energy.

I'm tired of continuing like this, rejecting reality turns out to be exhausting. My brain was tired just thinking about something endless. My heart says yes, but my brain says no. For a long time maybe I could go crazy if this continues ....

All righty! I'll try to accept the truth. Accept that I will soon be the wife of that rude old man. Widow is handsome but her brain is lacking.

Come on Rianti, you can definitely! Do not be weak and easily intimidated by the old man, prove that you are a strong young woman. C'mon smangat!

Czech

The door opened and the Goddess was there.

The goddess approached Rianti and gave her a small box.

"Ri, I'm sorry .. Your birthday is a mess. I was so shocked last night that I forgot about the surprise show."

"It's okay, Mom. Riri enjoys celebrating birthdays with her family" replied Rianti. He was actually feeling sad because it might be the last birthday he could celebrate with them.

Rianti looked at the contents of the small box and it turned out that it was a silver watch.

Beautiful ....

"Thank you for giving birth to Riri, Mom" said Rianti as she hugged her mother's waist.

"Yes dear. I love you and all of you very much. You have been a good child, and I am sure you can also be a good wife" said Dewi while stroking Rianti's short hair.

Rianti was crying as if she was being held by her mother. He was not ready to go far away from his beloved family.

The goddess let go of Rianti's embrace and stared at the bright eyes of her daughter.

"Remove your tears dear, promise me that you will not grieve whatever your troubles. The trials of people who have married are not kidding. So you have to be strong."

The goddess hugged Rianti again. A hug so warm that Rianti refused to let go.

"Come out Ri, there is Andra waiting for you on the terrace," said Dewi as she let go of Rianti's embrace.

Rianti wiped her tears and looked at the mother.

"Bang Andra's home?"

The goddess only responded to her son's question with a nod.

Rianti looked pleased and immediately ran towards the terrace.

"Bang Aan!" pekik Rianti gleeful.

The person Rianti called his name immediately turned his head and smiled kindly.

"Bang Aan is sitting here, next to Riri," Rianti said as he patted the rattan chair on the terrace.

Andra followed Rianti's orders and sat next to him.

"When is nyampe? Trus now coming home long or just for the holidays? Ask Rianti who is so enthusiastic to the man who has been considered as his own brother.

"Old."

Rianti just kept silent and his eyes looked at the face of Andra who he had not seen for 2 years.

"It's a gift for you" Andra said, giving a small box to Rianti's hand.

"Gift for me yeah .. what's the content?" rianti asked with a radiant face.

He hoped that Rianti would like a gift from him. The gift he had prepared for the girl for 2 years.

"Waaaahh .. pendant. Very good ...."

A happy smile appeared on Rianti's face.

Your smile is still as beautiful as ever, Ri. But I seem to lose fast.

He knows that Rianti has been proposed and will soon be married to his cousin Shinta.

"But why only half, if this is full, it must be a rich heart" said Rianti with an innocent expression.

Because half of it is on me, Andra murmured.

Andra just smiled at Rianti's behavior which was still the same as before. So funny and adorable.

"Yeee .. You are yes if you are thank you, just don't ask a lot of questions, don't ask a lot of pinta," said Andra who pretended to be upset.

"What the hell was it from the first evil very much like me? It's my fault I tried. I'm fine," asked Rianti with a spoiled tone and slightly pursed lips.

Oh, my God .. those lips, I really wanted to kiss her.

Andra's mind is so turbulent. He wanted to kiss and hug the little girl in front of him. Channeling the feeling of longing that he has endured for the past 2 years. But he tries to suppress his feelings and tries to behave normally.

Andra smiled and ruffled a little of Rianti's front hair.

"Punishment for many!"

"Belg ... Bang Aan rese deh, it will be a mess, "Rianti grumbled while tidying up his bangs that were ruffled by Andra.

Not long after, a luxury car came into the yard and saw someone coming down. That person is Ardi. The future husband that Rianti hated. Suddenly Rianti's expression turned displeased.

Why are the old men here? Does he want me to lie again? For a long time I could be an ungodly child if near him. Huff ... sucks! Rianti grumbled in heart.

Ardi who saw there was a male guest talking to Rianti certainly did not like that . What else after seeing the gaze of the man towards his future wife.

Andra saw someone coming straight up from his seat, as did Rianti.

Ardi approached Rianti and immediately embraced the body of the short girl next to him. Because their height looks so different makes Ardi freely put his arm on Rianti's left shoulder.

"Darling .. Who is this?" ask Ardi who just arrived.

Rianti snorted in annoyance and tried to let go of Ardi's embrace. But again Ardi's arm rose freely to the little girl's shoulder.

Andra who saw the scene suddenly felt his heart ache. His heart stopped beating. But he tried to keep smiling, so that no one would realize how much pain he felt.

"I'm Andra, Shinta's cousin" Andra said, extending a hand. But Ardi ignored the hand of Andra who wanted to shake hands with him.

"I'm Ardi, Riri's future husband." said Ardi full of nutrition.

Andra became even more heartbroken after seeing the figure of a future husband of the girl he liked. Although their posture is equally high, Ardi is still more handsome and more established than himself.

"Yes Ri, you go home first." Andra let go of the smile she forced.

"Yes," Shinta replied as she let go of her sweetest smile.

Ardi felt a little burning jealous seeing Rianti throw such a sweet smile at the other man, whereas to him there was only a gaze full of emotion.

After seeing Andra go home, now Rianti's eyes are on the man next to him. He immediately brushed Ardi's arm off his shoulder.

Apparently no one realized that from earlier Reka peeked out from behind the door. His face looked sad and almost cried. He decided to go back into the room.
