Dusk on the Island of the Gods!
Time showed at 4:50 when Matthew set foot in his homeland, Bali.
Bali with its millions of beautiful charm can hypnotize every eye that tries to take the time and calm the soul just to relieve fatigue due to work fatigue.
"Hay... Bli Matthew, when did you get back from Jakarta?" A man suddenly came and interrupted Matthew's daydream.
"Hay... Aksas. Nice to meet you, I didn't think we'd meet here." Reply Matthew while smiling at his former college friend. Suddenly the look on her face changed completely as she looked at the woman standing beside Aksa, her smile just disappearing.
"Hay Adya's... How are you doing? You're still as handsome as you used to be. Being able to see you here is a great miracle for me!" The woman who came with Aksa. His gaze was filled with a deep longing, unfortunately he could not even channel that feeling after a long time apart.
"Kadek, are you with Aksa? What are you guys now...?" Matthew's words were stuck in his throat.
"No Bli Matthew, that's not true. Kadek and I are not in a special relationship, we are just friends. Ever since Kadek split from Bli, Kadek hasn't even glanced at any man." Aksa said honestly, her face showing off a smile. The smile he tried to force.
From Matthew's point of view, he could clearly read that Aksa harbored feelings of love for Kadek Suciati Maharani. Whether the man dared to express his feelings or not, Matthew really did not want to know why and how it could happen.
"Haha! Bli could have been, that's not true. Kadek must have gotten my replacement, just look at her face, her face is getting prettier and more beautiful, it's a sign someone has managed to make her happy." Babe Matthew without taking off the charming smile from his thin lips.
"Hay... I'm right here! Why are you guys talking like I'm not in this place?" Kadek opened his voice while staring at the two beautiful men standing in front of him in turn.
"Adiah... I'm mad at you! After we split up you even ignored me. Why don't you ever exchange news with anyone? I'm no more than a stalker.
Every second I'm just looking for your news from Instagram that you update every day. Don't you think that those of us who have known you are missing you?" Kadek chides Matthew with a question that demands a short but precise answer.
"Why are you so serious. I've been very busy lately. Feeling tired at home, I came to this place.
So you're... No need to search me with questions. Because it could be in the next second I'll leave you unannounced." Matthew said in his own style. Half joking, and half serious.
"Bli Matthews... What Kadek said is true! I also monitor your situation from Instagram. Some of the posts you posted on social media explained that you were in a closet. Am I wrong?" This time I asked seriously. He was not sure Matthew would answer his question. But at least he's trying to find the truth in the right person.
There was no reply from Matthew other than the charming smile he was trying to show off, a smile that Kadek and Aksa could not understand.
"What am I supposed to say? In every space and time you pass there will be a point where you do not want the moment to end. And now I'm in that moment." Matthew looked back at Bli Aksa and Kadek. Kadek is her ex-boyfriend.
She's a grumpy girl! But I really like his style. His smile! His eyes! How talk! Lovely charm! How to close the aura! And everything inside of him really hypnotizes me.
Being close to him made me realize time was passing by. And being close to her made me realize that I was honoring that time. I'm in love! And it looks like I'm in love!" Matthew said at length. His memories brought him back to the memories of the graceful girl he didn't even know her name.
Matthew was too late in happiness to forget Kadek who was currently looking at him with deep sadness. What is more depressing than a girl when her feelings start to get ignored? And what could be more depressing than a girl as she begins to hear the man she so admires and loves fond of other women? Kadek's heart ache he dwells in his heart while showing off a smile of coercion. And indeed it was not Matthew's fault, for to him Kadek was only the past, the past that he would keep in the deepest part of his heart.
Just as the smell of the twilight waves on the Island of the Gods this afternoon calms Matthew's heart, so much so is the sadness that is illustrated for a beautiful girl Kadek Suciati Maharani.
...***...
Prok.prok.Sprok.
All the family members from both Fazila and Refal clapped their hands at the happy moment before him. Now two different souls will soon be united in a different bond, a bond that Fazila never thought of before.
A beautiful circular ring on her ring finger, the ring that Refal pinned a second ago. Should he be sad or happy? Fazila really doesn't know. All he knows is that Ummi and Abinya look happy with this relationship. Knowing all that, it was enough to make Fazila happy. And more important than just thinking about other people's feelings, Fazila did not feel compelled to be with the beautiful man who was currently sitting nearby. Although love had not yet risen in her heart, Fazila was sure that it would come slowly without needing to say a word.
"Fazila, Rehal. We have all agreed that you will continue the marriage contract after tomorrow. We all want to celebrate a big party so that everyone who knows you can feel the happiness we feel.
Unfortunately, after Mama talked to Bima. Looks like your wedding party will be postponed until next month. This is related to the busyness of Refal that can not be disturbed." Madam Asa said in front of everyone.
"Do you mind Nak Fazila if your wedding is postponed?" Madam Asa asked as she looked at the beautiful face of her future daughter-in-law, the dream daughter-in-law.
"No, Aunt. Fazila didn't mind. Do whatever you want to do. Fazila did not mind. Provenance... The governor agreed, too." Fazila replied with her head bowed, she was bowed as she stared at the diamond ring that encircled her lentic finger.
"Fazila, Son. Call Me Mama. From now on you're my daughter." Madam Asa said while holding Fazila's hands.
For a moment, Fazila fell silent. He looked at Ummi and Abinya in turn. Then she looked at Rehal who was sitting nearby, not a word came out from the mouth of Rephal, the handsome young man who was to become her husband just nodded his head slowly, hinting that his mother's words were not wrong.
Calling Madame Asa Mama? This fast? It feels a little strange because it's the first time. It's okay, I'll try. Inner Fazila while looking at Madame Asa who was currently urging her to say a speech she wanted so badly to hear.
