In the church.
The church looks so beautiful, outside the church already stands a blue tent with each pole decorated with various flowers. Inside the church is even more beautiful, each white rose is in the corner of the church chair, and the wedding altar is decorated with jasmine flowers that resemble pigeons.
The church has a very soft fragrance, the road to the altar is given a red carpet to send them to say the sacred promise of life. A promise that is only said once to one person for good.
Renata looked back at her mother as she walked with her brother towards the Altar. His mother must have had such a luxurious and beautiful wedding, but how now Re's mind. Likewise with Artia's parents who both did not come to attend Artia's wedding. They also have such memories. Where did their feelings go at that time to decide to separate, Re thought. Re cried thinking what if his sister also experienced the same thing.
