The day keeps turning. Ginanjar was already at Gara's house. The man had been informed by Gara before anyone else knew about his marriage. He was so happy and so agreeable to hear of Gara's plan. Gara also deliberately did not bring Alula when asking for her blessing. Laura is back. She's a cunning woman who can do anything. She did not want anything to happen to Alula and her children while taking her to the Father's residence.
"Grandpa's so good that your father and mother are getting married." Ginanjar said while he was with Darren Darrel, playing in the family room.
"I'm happy too, Cake."
"What about you, Darren?"
"Of course happy. I hope time turns fast, and the wedding day comes soon."
Darren, Darrel and Ginanjar are back. No matter the busy atmosphere of the home. All the housekeepers are busy preparing for dinner tonight. Their master, Gara Ginanjar Grisam held a dinner with his family. He wants to announce his wedding.
***
Night approaching. Several cars are already parked in the courtyard of Gara's house. Everyone gathered in the living room with Ginanjar. The man greeted them alone. Gio, he's still at home in Grandma's house. And Gara, she pulled Alula back to her room when she came out.
"What are you doing? We have to jam-hmm..." Because he immediately silenced Alula's mouth with his lips. Makes the woman look surprised at him. However, it wasn't because he gave up on it. He didn't care if Alula would get angry later.
Because he stopped his kiss and rubbed Alula's lips softly. "Come, out! The red on your lips is gone." Say without feeling guilty.
"What are you doing?"
"I just removed the red lipstick. He's so eye-catching. I don't want them to keep staring at you." She hugged Alula possessively. "Who told you to wear that color lipstick?"
"I wear it myself. I only wear what's available to me."
"Ck. Who's in charge of preparing all your needs?" Resenting. He looked at Alula. "Next time, don't use that color unless it's just with me." He brought his face closer to Alula's. However, his lips had not yet touched Alula's lips, his face was already pushed by the woman.
"A lot of people have come. It's not good not to welcome them." Alula said, hurrying to open the door and get out.
Because those who see it can only smile. He rubbed his lips, remembering how Alula glared at him. She's so adorable.
"Why are you still standing? Ayooo!" Whine Alula while pulling Gara's hand.
"Why did you come back?"
"Emm. I'd better be with you."
She smiled and rubbed Alula's hair. "You're back to the right guy." Saying Gara.
While in the living room, some people kept asking for Gara. Look for the owner of the show who has not shown himself since.
"Where's Gara?" Asked a man, adopted sister of his late mother, Tiara.
"What's wrong?" The sound made everyone look. Gara was walking towards them with Alula's hand held firmly.
"Have not heard from you in a long time. You look different."
"I'm so famous in the Grisam family. I'm not sure you've never heard them talk about me."
The man gulped roughly his saliva. Speech for turning off the basic intention of the base. He smiled awkwardly. All of his talking materials instantly disappeared.
"Huh. Nevermind! Come on, the food's ready." Everyone rushed to the dining room.
"Where are your two sons, Gara?" Laura started talking at the dinner table.
"Both of my sons don't like to take care of other people's business." The reply.
Instantly Laura's face turned sour. She squeezed the dress she was using. Because I never respected him one bit. Viko who was beside Laura was just silent to watch the Mother and the Big Brother.
Gara's eyes caught some of her cousins staring at Alula with interest. Soon he grabbed Alula's hand and grabbed it. "Take a look at your eyes!" He said, making them turn their faces the other way.
"Married?" Laura's voice sounded more domineering than everyone present. He glanced at Viko who looked smiling. The boy was also happy to hear the happy news that Gara said.
Goddamnit! Why does Viko seem to be so supportive.
"As your mother, I disagree." Laura said, firmly.
"Huh, I don't care. I invite you because of my future wife's request, not to ask for your consent. He values you as my family. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have bothered to invite you guys."
"But Gara, we don't know the woman's background. He might look good in front of you, but he has bad intentions for you." Said one of his uncles, the father's half-brother.
"Are you talking about yourself? I know Alula better than you."
"Easy! Spend your meals. Old people are no good late night driving." Continue with his tone.
"The way! Can't you have a little respect for us? We're ready to fulfill your invitation, why are you acting like this?"
"I didn't expect you all to come. The workers in my house can afford to eat all this food."
"You're really insolent! You know, a good woman never gives birth before marriage." Uncle who is the adoptive sister of his mother also spoke.
"Well, already! Already, Dad! Don't be shy." Reproof the uncle's wife.
"Are you not calm?" Ginanjar's voice sounded. Everyone was silent while looking at him.
"Eating table is not a place to argue. If you want, you can go to the family room and argue there!" He continued along with the cold gaze he showed.
Instantly everything fell silent. Despite that, those annoyed gazes still they threw for Gara. Even Alula who was silent was also dragged along. They realized, they would not be able to fight Gara. He quickly realized their movements.
Everyone continued their dinner in silence. After that, go back to the living room and talk there. There's not much they talk about, just about work. They did not dare to offend Gara's marriage anymore. Until it is not felt, the day is getting late and they say goodbye.
"Congratulations, sis. Finally, brother and sister-in-law have your wedding. I'm so glad to hear this."
"thank you. Come here the day before the wedding." Reply Gara, while patting Viko's back gently.
"of course. I'm coming." The man smiled sincerely. His eyes were staring at Alula. "Good sister-in-law. May happiness always be upon you."
"Thank you, Viko."
"Oh yeah, where's Brother Gio?" Ask Viko while whispering. Afraid that someone will hear it.
"He's on vacation." Reply to the one Viko is holding. He doesn't want to ask anymore. Keeping that secret safe is his promise. And he has to keep it.
"Alright, brother, sister-in-law. Then I'll go home first."
"Yes, be careful." Answer Alula.
After Viko's departure, Alula and Gara return to their respective rooms. However, just a few steps away, a knock on the door came back. Both stopped their steps. See who's back.
The waiter, who was still awake, opened the door. "Hi, Brother." Greet the man with a grin.
"Gios? You come back at night like this?" Alula did not understand the behavior of her best friend and prospective sister-in-law.
Gio walked over to Alula and Gara. "I arrived at ten this morning. I spent the day with Ana. When I got home, I saw some cars in the yard. I'm sure there'll be a problem if I come in."
Because a little smile to hear Gio's explanation. His hand raised patted Gio's shoulder gently. "You're good at reading situations. It's already! Quickly clean yourself up, and rest!"
"Ready, brother!" He answered, then walked to his room.
