The affirmation from Ardian's mouth clearly made Raisa startled with eyes glaring that almost wanted to come out.
" What did you say Ardian?" raisa asked with a suppressive voice that protested Ardian's decision.
" I've said it clearly. Prepare the reception," said Ardian asserted once again and immediately left who did not want to hear the debate again. Melody smiled obliquely with Ardian's approval.
" Ardian, you can't do this!" shouted Raisa who stood up, "No Aunt, no Eyang, this cannot happen. What about me. I'm the one who should be married to Ardian" said Raisa furiously.
" Who are you?" sahut Melody's. Raisa's eyes immediately stared intently at Melody.
" You're still asking who I am" said Raisa growled.
" Hear Raisa I and Ardian are married. And we even have Ardian's agreement and approval. Because I've been thinking about it well. Where she thinks only of me and our marriage. So if you protest it's useless. 1 Ardian or I will not change that decision and the 2nd. You're nobody who should protest and I don't need your advice or your response. Because you're not a parent, sister, brother or not even his wife" Melody said calmly, leading Raisa to clench her hand and refrain from going crazy on Melody.
" Please watch your words Melody. You are only a temporary wife" said Raisa suppressing her voice with a sharp look at Melody.
" What do you think temporary wife. Raisa I'm not that stupid of you. Oh yes another one that I forgot to tell you guys and it just so happened that Raisa brought it up so I remembered it," Melody said seeing one by one in the living room.
" I'm Ardian's wife and I don't want to be in honey or marriage quietly behind my back. If that happens then I'm sorry I criminalized this family and including the woman who tried to damage my household. So if you want to keep her for a backup wife. I have to wait for my wedding to finish first and I don't know when it might never be finished" Melody said, smiling sideways at Raisa.
Raisa's patience is increasingly tested by Melody who seems to deliberately say that.
" Brazed are you Melody," the inner Raisa who can only hold her anger.
No one dared to refute Melody's words. Everyone just shut up. Even the big one can't talk anymore. And maybe that's exactly the right Melody wanted to have while being the daughter-in-law in the house.
" I think it's enough. Excuse me first" said Melody who immediately left and before leaving she smiled at Raisa. Smile as if to mock.
Novi immediately stood up to Raisa and calmed Raisa down.
" Raisa has, you're patient. You just think of it as a test for your relationship with Ardian, let's calm down first" Novi said with a sad face that was so alarming and took Raisa away from the room.
" Yes, everything is clear. What else do we prepare all the recipes," said the big one.
The others simply nodded without being able to say anything more. There should be no marriage hidden. And Melody doesn't want a farewell either.
***********
" This is the best way. It takes being someone else to get those people to learn the lesson and risk the loss for you. You've thought about Melody. Even if it just tortures your heart. Have to live a life, leave 1 house even room with a man you hate so much. But it's a choice. You chose it. It's between your choices or your destiny that way" Melody said in her heart.
Chequek. The door of her room opened making Melody look over there which turned out to be Lea who was standing in front of her bedroom door and smiling at Melody. Melody looked lazily at Lea. Even averted his eyes from Leah. Leah entered the room.
" Hmmmm, need help WO no?" lea asked who was standing in front of Raisa.
" Get out of my room!" drive Melody away in a low voice.
" Melody why kicked me out. You just want to help you. Are you still mad at me? ask Lea. Melody immediately looked at Lea's relaxed-looking face.
" You're just like them and there's no reason for me to tell them apart. You were also one of the people at the time" Melody said with a serious look at Lea's face. Leah was silent and could not say anything more.
" I'm sorry Melody" Lea said. Melody kept quiet and returned not seeing Lea again.
" Go away, don't interfere in my affairs" Melody said softly, not wanting to see Lea.
" Sorry Melody. I'll keep mixing it up. I came here because I heard Ardian married you. That's why I came with Eyang here and must have also come in admitting wrongdoing and also wanting to make up for it and by indulging in your affairs and returning what should be yours," lea said with soft words.
" I don't need any of that. I can deal with my own problems" Melody said with her eyes.
" No Melody. You are not that strong woman. If you handle it. It can't be years like this. And I just want to help you" Lea said again.
" Melody, we've been friends since you didn't know Ardian. We're friends knowing each other" Lea said.
" Enough Lea. Don't offend the friendship. It will only make the wound back sore. It wasn't me who ruined everything but you and those people. Don't mention the word friendship. For me right now I'm the daughter-in-law in this house which means you're Ardian's cousin which also means you're my cousin and my best friend or whatever it is I don't think you exist. Maybe I had a friend I loved very much. Or I have a partner I trust who I love. But the same as the couple I ended up burying and including the best friend" Melody said with a pool of eyes.
Speak with a vibrating tone that seems to indicate lingering pain. Without Lea noticing her tears dripping when she heard Melody's words.
" Go!" drive Melody away again in a low voice. Lea just silently stared at Melody's face full of disappointment, anger that seemed to have just been released now.
It turned out that behind the door of the room was Ardian who stood up and heard the conversation of Melody and Lea. Only a sad expression was released by Ardian who clearly heard Melody's words.
