The Part 32



Eliza breathed a heavy sigh. Her chest felt a little claustrophobic as the white dress she was wearing slightly pressed against her chest. Many times Eliza took a deep breath and let go from her mouth to let her nervousness disappear.


 


“guggup brother?” louisa asked as she gently grasped Eliza's hand and just carried Eliza's head.


 


His right hand was tightly grasping the beautiful bouquet of white roses. And the two golden brown beads were also worried about the woman in front of him.


 


“relax sister.” said Louisa who sounded soft and chuckling at the end of her sentence made Eliza snort


annoyed.


 


“huft, just watch out for you.” Chirps Eliza who is still nervous because soon she will change status.


 


While outside the wedding building, it looks Leo with a tuxedo attached to his body and a neat and fitting hairdo on his face makes his charm soar sharply like a company stock that profits big.


 


No less nervous than Eliza who was in the room there. Leo who smiled to greet the guests also looked very nervous. Sometimes he took a deep breath and exhaled through his nose so that no one would notice that he was nervous.


 


“haha, nervous brother huh?” ledek Luqman whispered as he stood next to the groom.


 


“your silence!” jolt Leo who also whispered and hid his nervousness earlier.


 


The guests came one by one. Both from female and male guests, even women who


the last time Leo stayed with his tears, now came with a smile on his face.


 


“welcome sir. I think Mr. Leo can't get married.” Said Clara of origin followed by a sharp gaze of Leo.


 


“you mean?”


 


“hehe, sorry sir. I spent years chasing Mr. Leo feeling like moving Monas to Aceh. Weight. It's heavy, it's impossible anyway.” Obviously women who wear a peach dress that is quite covered do not expose the body shape and other parts except the neckline while showing off the beautiful necklace.


 


“you wear it too?” said Leo while glancing for a moment at the necklace on Clara's neck.


 


For a moment the woman touched him and smiled sincerely for the first time.


 


“iya sir. I follow the advice of Mr. Leo only.” said Clara who made Leo sigh of relief.


 


The bench for the guests was fully filled. Even they were impatient to wait for the sacred moment between Leo and Eliza which was the reason they came there.


 


“ayo we start.” Renaldi told Leo and Panji who are on the doorstep to the wedding altar.


 


The banner follows the beloved daughter who is still in the room.


 


“ayah.” Call Eliza softly when she sees her father standing in the doorway to catch up with her.


 


Eliza who realized that it was time to leave, immediately moved from her seat. He approached his father with a glare that almost shed his tears.


 


“honey, dad loves you like my own son.” Say the Panji to his adopted daughter while peeping


forehead soft.


 


“iya dad. Thank you for being my father. Maybe now my dad and mom are there to thank you too.”


Replied Eliza who could not bear to hold her tears down.


 


“don't cry. Later I can't hold it either.” Said the middle-aged man who rubbed gently on the cheeks


his daughter. Louisa saw the novelty, and accidentally her tears also dripped.


 


“ayo we go.” Said Panji while giving his arm to be held by Eliza.


 


Eliza was now standing in the doorway to the wedding altar. His eyes caught the figure of the man who


he has been waiting for a long time to be his companion.


 


That man is none other than Leo. He turned his body and he looked at Eliza from a distance. The white dress that Leo chose himself by not exposing too much of Eliza's body parts, adheres pretty in that slender body.


 


His eyes did not stop staring at the woman as he walked towards her accompanied by his father. Even the


the invited guests were also fascinated by the figure of the bride.


 


Eliza's shoulder-length hair was turned into a tiny clap but it looked neat and beautiful by leaving


some kid's hair on his temples. Even the neckline looks beautiful even without any accessories.


 


Now the bodies of Eliza and Leo are side by side. They made their sacred promises in front of the witnesses and


invited guests. There was even the sound of applause and some crying after the two of them said that promise.


 


Not spared from the happiness, Eliza's sweat flowed gently on her cheeks. Leo just smiled and rubbed


tender cheeks of the woman who is now his wife.


 


Leo still doesn't seem to have realized. A little girl who he used to think was his sister has now turned into a mature woman and has the status of his wife.


 


Likewise with Eliza, he is currently staring fixed both beads of men who 20 years ago he still called brother. And now a man who will accompany the rest of his life and the leader in his household.


 


After witnessing the sacred promise of the two lovebirds, invited guests are welcome to eat the banquet


been provided.


 


Not fancy, but not made simple because too many guests come. Even Albert, Eliza's uncle who was in Milan took the time to attend.


 


“Uncle!!” eliza exclaimed like a child running and hugging her uncle.


 


With ease now Eliza moved, because she had changed her clothes with a shorter dress but remained closed despite forming part of her body. Her hair has been dyed as usual and coupled with a hair ornament that was specifically chosen by Leo.


 


“Eliza darling, congratulations on your wedding. May you be happy. Surely your father and mother are also happy there.” Said his uncle's wife while gently stroking Eliza's shoulder.


 


“iya, thank you Uncle, Aunty.” Said Eliza with a happy smile while landing her lips on the middle-aged woman's cheek which was then reciprocated with a warm kiss on her forehead which she missed from the figure of the mother.


 


“make Eliza happy Leo! Remember that!” reprimand Panji who suddenly stands next to the man who has replaced his tuxedo with an ordinary suit that matches the color of Eliza's dress.


 


Leo was surprised when the middle-aged man suddenly appeared by his side while he was still noticing Eliza's smile


look happy.


 


“just calm uncle. I'll make Eliza happy. That's for sure.” Replied Leo sure who then looked


Eliza again who is now also smiling to see him and his adoptive father.


 


They approached Eliza and her uncle and aunt and chatted there.


 


While on the other side of the reception, Clara seemed to be eagerly devouring some sweet snacks provided. Eza who noticed the woman was only able to shake his head in astonishment.


 


“i've never seen a woman like this, except my wife when pregnant. She said pregnant women need to eat a lot.” Said Eza who was unable to let go of Clara who continued to chew food.


 


“maybe what your wife says is true.” Reply Clara who is still chewing her mouth food.


 


“means?” eza's curious question made Clara stop chewing and smiling while stroking the stomach that still looks flat.


 


 


“wait for you.. don't-don't it...” Eza stuttered because he could not believe what he was thinking.


 


“iya, this is his son. But I will take care of him, after all he has also been acting like a good man.” Yakap


Clara who did not forget her smile and made Eza breathe a sigh of relief.


 


“kak Elizaaa!!! Huwaaa!!” no, rather Luqman's cry made everyone present.


managed to catch his attention.


 


Luqman ran towards her brother and embraced tightly while letting out her tears that flooded her face


that look. The father and Leo as well as some people who already understood the nature of Luqman were only able to smile and shake hands.


 


“astaga Luqman! What's wrong with you?! Can you be happy?! It's a happy moment, don't cry. You're not ashamed of Louisa who's been smiling since.” Said Eliza to her sister who was still holding her tightly by crying as she pleased while pointing at the woman who was smiling happily holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand.


 


it happened because a while ago. When it became a tradition that the bride would throw a bouquet


the flowers, and the one who receives them means he will catch up soon. And that lucky person is Louisa. Because of her happiness, Louisa's smile could not be separated from her face.


 


“it's none of my business!!” snapped Luqman while throwing a look at Louisa who was grieving at Luqman.


 


“i don't care about you either, stupid! Wlekk.” said Louisa while sticking her tongue out at Luqman who was also served by Luqman.


 


“kak, you won't forget me right? Aye right?” sul Luqman is like a child.


 


“astaga Luqman's. Brother is only married, just being a wife does not mean forgetting my own family.


Especially my cute sister this one.” Eliza replied while pinching Luqman's cheek.


 


“rearn?” asked Luqman with his puppy eyes.


 


“ earnestly! Come on now we just eat.” said Eliza while embracing Luqman's neck and pulling him towards


a table full of food.


 


“ayo!!” exclaim Luqman.


Leo and a few others were only able to smile and laugh when they saw the behavior of the brothers.


Even unbearable when Eza also hurt Luqman about Eliza who will be taken away by Leo and certainly make Luqman again crying and sulking like a child.


 


The party continued into the night. Now Eliza and Leo change clothes for the umpteenth time. Nightly


their reception turned into a dance.


 


The invited guests were filled with friends Leo and Eliza who also each brought a couple.


 


Sometimes Leo glanced at his wife who was like someone looking for something.


 


“what are you looking for?” ask Leo wonder.


 


“I'm looking for my best friend.” Eliza replied with disgusting feet and raised her face as high as possible


to find the face he was looking for.


 


“friends?” muttered Leo.


 


Before long Eliza was like finding the figure she was looking for. A man with a face that was no less handsome


and the suit that was very fitting in his body came to Eliza with a big smile.


 


“Reva!!” eliza spread out her hands.


 


The man hugged Eliza aloud and raised Eliza's light-looking body. Leo's eyes were wide open


look at that sight. Where his wife is hugged by a man he doesn't know who, except for his new name.


 


“how are you? I missed you.” Said the man who kept hugging Eliza.


 


“aku too. Oh, baby, this is Reva my best friend I told you about. And this is my husband Leo.” Said Eliza who did not


she easily forgot her husband standing next to her. Leo was relieved because Eliza did not forget him, the rest after knowing the man who now shook his hands was his wife's friend.


 


“oh yeah Reva, you're not with Amanda?” asked Eliza who was very enthusiastic.


 


“no. I came alone.” Reva replied after sighing long.


 


“why? You split?”


 


“well, that's a pretty long story El. Next time I'll tell you.” Answer the man who tried to evade.


 


“well. Enjoy the party.” Eliza said while patting her best friend's shoulder hard, just like when they were still sitting on the High School bench.


 


For a moment Eliza showed a slightly moody face.


 


“ada what? Something wrong?” leo asked as he clasped his wife's shoulders.


 


“no. It's just that I was hoping to see Amanda.”


 


“your friend?” Eliza just nodded weakly.


 


“Amanda? Isn't he in Texas?” ask Leo while looking at remembering the name is familiar.


 


“The amanda I'm referring to isn't the Amanda you know. Amanda who was in Texas was my guide when she interned 8 years ago. Amanda my best friend is my High School friend, but if it's not wrong she's in America.” Said Eliza who justifies the mind of Leo for a moment who only oh ria.


 


“alah. Then don't be sad anymore. Maybe he's too busy so can't come.” Said Leo while embracing Eliza's waist now possessively.


 


Eliza who seemed surprised by Leo was just scrunched her forehead.


 


“ada what? You hugged me too tightly I guess.” Eliza's words were a little shrewd but clearly heard by Leo.


 


“let. I did it so my wife wouldn't be taken by anyone else. Especially hugged like just now.” Said Leo


which made Eliza chuckle amusedly.


 


“you're jealous?”


 


“of course dear. You're my only wife. I don't want you to leave. Understand?” say Leo while pulling the chin


Eliza is reciprocated with a nod from Eliza who hints that she understands.


 


That night was a long night. The night that Leo and Eliza became the owners of this world


overnight.
