Exchanging Bride

Wedding day

Kiara was sitting next to a guy she just met a week ago. In a few moments, Kiara will legitimately be his wife.

Kiara heard the voice of the ruler reciting a sacred sentence to release Kiara as the wife of this man. Without any pause, this man instantly replied smoothly. Flowing the tears that Kiara had been painstakingly holding back.

..."I accept Kiara Permatasari's marriage with the dowry in cash."...

All witnesses declared valid. Kiara was legally the wife of Rivaldi Ahmad Wiji Sasongko.

Kiara grabbed Aldi's legitimate hand as her husband and then kissed his hand with tears still. Kiara is sure Aldi is aware that these are tears of sadness. Not the tears of a newly married couple.

Not far from Kiara and Aldi, mama Kiara looked at her daughter with tears. While Kiara's sister, Bella, who was beside her mother smiled happily. While the man whose arm was embraced by Bella just stared at Kiara expressionlessly.

Bella is wearing a white dress. Just like Kiara. Bella also recently completed a marriage contract with the man beside her, Bima.

Bella and her husband approach Kiara, who is still in tears. They wanted to congratulate him before the four of them went to the temple and greeted all the guests and families present.

There are two pairs of brides getting married at once today. But there is one unhappy heart today. The heart belongs to Kiara. Kiara's heart is wounded.

"May you be happy, Kiara" Bima prayed for Kiara. Pouring out a hand to shake Kiara.

Kiara looked into the eyes of the man. Kiara could only stare. There was not a single word Kiara could say to return her sincere prayers. Especially the desire to return his hand.

"Thank you brother-in-law. I sincerely pray for my wife's happiness." Aldi shook Bima's hand. Then Aldi clasped Kiara's hand and was about to take her away from Bima and Bella.

Kiara looked at Aldi gratefully. This cold, rarely-spoken man was willing to help her get away from Bima, the source of Kiara's pain today. But Bella blocks Kiara and Aldi.

"Dear brother, it looks like you should remind me that the four of us should go up to the wedding together and start our wedding reception."

Another painful part today. Sitting in the same pelaminan with Bima. But not as his bride.

"Come on my dear sister. You've been planning to go up to the beach for a long time... I'm a good brother, right? Still makes you one with Bima." Bella whispered this sentence into Kiara's ear. Only Kiara can hear it.

Aldi saw Kiara's expression change which was getting sadder. Following Kiara's view to the pelaminan. And understand what Bella wants to do to her sister.

"We went to the sewer first Kiara." Bella took Bima to the beach.

Aldi looked at Kiara. "What do you want now?"

Kiara's gaze was still confused. Kiara looked back at Aldi.

"If you don't want to go up that leash, we can go straight to the locker room."

Kiara tried to think clearly. He refused Aldi's offer.

"I was able to finish the reception today well. Thank you for caring. Just hold my hand like this to strengthen me. I'll try not to cry anymore." Kiara forced a smile on her face.

In addition to welcoming all the guests. They also took pictures with guests. Also take pictures with each other's partners. Kiara tried to focus her thoughts on the guests or her husband. Do not want to be tempted to look beside them where Bella and Bima do various kinds of friendly poses.

Kiara herself did not pose much for their wedding photos. Aldi just remained silent without expression and followed the direction of the photographer when taking pictures. In Kiara and Aldi's wedding photo pose, the photographer did not direct a friendly pose. Because Aldi's expression was too flat. There is no radiance of intimacy that can be immortalized in the photo documentation Kiara and Aldi. Even to just direct Kiara and Aldi to smile let alone laugh is difficult.

Two hours passed. Reception is over. Kiara was already in the hotel room. Bridal room. The wedding reception and marriage certificate were held in a five-star hotel. Bima family-owned hotel, Atmaja Group.

Kiara remembers this hotel room. Suite room hotel Marriot owned by Bima family, Atmaja Group. The beginning of the change in relationship with Bima began from the hotel suite room.

"Do you want to stay here or at my house?" Aldi broke Kiara's daydream.

"Your house. But I changed my clothes first."

But the sound of their hotel room bell delayed Kiara and Aldi's plans to change clothes.

"You're in the wrong room, Kiara." Bella greeted as soon as Kiara opened her room door.

"It seems you forgot that this suite room is the bridal room for Bima and her bride."

Bella's words still hurt Kiara.

"I'm Bima's bride, Kiara. Not you."

Kiara was about to interrupt. Kiara was about to say that Bima was the one who said that Kiara could occupy this suite room. But his words were stuck in his throat. The pain in her chest made Kiara unable to say a word.

"Hurry out of this room and throw your thoughts on Bima. She's not your bride! All the facilities you get from Bima are now mine. Including luxury apartments that you have occupied. Leave the keys to me right now."

"Apartment?" Kiara surprised.

"really so. Give it right now. Bima gave it to me. We'll stay there while we wait for the construction of our house to finish."

Kiara shed her tears again.

Bella is very satisfied to be able to make Kiara cry again.

"My clothes and stuff are still in all the apartments, brother. Do I have to hand over the key now?"

"Don't call me brother. I no longer want to acknowledge you as my sister. You're just a lucky orphanage kid! remember that!"

Bella is getting angry. "Everything you have in that apartment is Bima's gift. All of Bima's is mine. His wife. You're nothing, Kiara. Give me the keys to the apartment right now before I report to Bima and make her scold you!" Threat Bella.

Kiara gives the keys to Bella's apartment. Kiara also left the hotel suite which was supposed to be her bridal room. So did the wedding dress choice of Bima who was worn by Kiara. Kiara chose to leave the wedding dress in the suite room that Kiara had left.

Kiara will leave behind all the things about Bima. No more crying over Bima or anything related to Bima.

Kiara and Bella have exchanged brides. Will the lives of Bella and Kiara also change?
