Four years later.
A beautiful girl of about twenty-two years old is wearing a modern kebaya suit beautified with a mini bun and thin makeup that makes her beauty look natural. Assisted by the mother, the girl was done getting ready.
Today is a historic day in his life. After years of struggling with theory and research, he was finally able to arrive at the moment of the toga transfer.
"Mama's son is very beautiful" praised Renita with a smile that grew from the reflection of the mirror. Looking at the face of his daughter who only smiled faintly.
Yes, that girl is Elmina Princess Sanjaya. He's changed a lot. The noisy girl no longer spoke much. Pretty drastic changes after his breakup with Reyden four years ago.
After that, they never met again. Either, because of the setting, or indeed because fate has not wanted the two to return face to face.
Elmina thinks Reyden has had a bittersweet time in his life over the past four years. Closed in prison. Getting bad treatment from fellow prisoners, or maybe eating rice cubes and bland vegetables every day.
Given all that, his life light seemed to dim. I don't know why he felt the bitterness of life despite the freedom to embrace it all the time.
Prima, who was aware of the drastic change in her younger sister, of course, was very understanding of what the girl was feeling. However, he did not comment much, because the man wanted Elmina to be responsible for her obligations as a medical student. And, all that Elmina accomplished just in time.
Now comes the time for Sanjaya's extended family to attend the Elmina strata one graduation event held in the Great Shower building. The largest and most luxurious multi-purpose building in their city.
Mr. Sanjaya and his wife were already sitting in the front row seats, while Prima was still standing at the entrance of the building. His gaze followed around as he occasionally glanced at the luxurious timepiece that was tightly coiled around his right wrist. It seemed that the young officer was waiting for someone to arrive.
"Darling!"
Prima turned her head after hearing the melodious cry in the name of the love that was definitely thrown at her.
"Cle!"
The man smiled, then extended his hand, welcoming the arrival of the lover.
Yes, in the last six months Prima knew a beautiful girl who was the youngest psychologist in their town. Called Clemira. Without making small talk according to his character, Prima immediately proposed to the girl and will carry out the wedding next month.
Wrapped in salem-colored modern kebaya, Clemira looked so graceful. In line with his character, he always seemed calm.
"Sorry late, yeah. My patient really needs that extra treatment" said the girl with a smile. Welcomed the outstretched hand of the lover so that their two hands are interlocked.
"You're not too late, Cle. The show hasn't started yet." Prima took her woman by the hand, taking her into the building. The two walked towards the front row where there were two empty seats beside his father and mother.
"Cle!" renita exclaimed at her prospective daughter-in-law with a smile.
"Aante, Om!"
Clemira kissed the backs of the hands of her two future in-laws.
"You're so pretty, honey." Renita unceasingly admired the look of his son's future wife.
"Tante is no less beautiful."
They also sit side by side. Prima sat next to her father.
Up ahead, Elmina looked half-dead. I don't know, what kind of feeling was hitting his soul that suddenly felt unsettled. His two cold palms, seen squeezing each other.
Maybe it's because the toga transfer event has already started or is there another reason? I don't know. Elmina was very nervous. A medical degree will soon be embedded behind its long name. Now he is just waiting for his turn to climb the stage of greatness.
"Elmina Princess Sanjaya!" exclaims an Event Bearer.
The girl was still flinching in her place.
"Elmina Princess Sanjaya!"
Suddenly the voice of a young man who had not been heard for a long time, now dominated his ear cavity.
Elmina jerks. His body reflexively stood up, then looked out in all directions. However, there was no figure that he expected. Only a pair of Hosts were now smiling towards him while nodding their heads.
"Eh."
Elmina seemed increasingly nervous when she realized that the eyes of everyone in the building were on her. He bit his lower lip, trying to reduce the rampant gerogi taste.
"Elmina Princess Sanjaya!" Once again, the female Host repeated her call.
Elmina blinked, then exhaled a rough breath. Both of his cheeks were already hot, but the tip of his nose suddenly felt cold.
He took a slow step towards the stage. Both legs felt cramped because it was unusual to wear high heels. Particularly bothered by the narrow condition of the skirt and the uncomfortable footwear, Elmina to the point of not realizing that the tip of her skirt was stepped on by the heels when going up the stage stairs.
"Aarrrgggh!"
GREPS
Instantly the girl's body seemed to float in the air.
Two sturdy hands clad in dark blue suits suddenly caught Elmina's body, then carried her in a single jolt.
HUH UH?
Elmina freezes.
While the attendees who were present suddenly stunned to see the rescue event. It was so sudden that no one could realize where the young man had come from.
Some of the graduates looked anxious looking at the sweet scene in front of them. Some of them want to be in the position of Elmina. Because the young man who was carrying the girl's body was handsome, gallant, and .. brewokan certainly.
While Mr. Sanjaya, Ms. Renita, and Prima all seem to smile. Of course, the three of them deeply recognized the figure of the young man who was currently the center of everyone's attention.
"Rey-"
Elmina's voice was choked. He stared at Reyden's two beads fixedly. His hand was tightly pressed against the young man's chest.
"Reyden Elbarak" said Reyden, completing Elmina's disconnected sentence. A charming smile rang out at both corners of her sensual lips.
"Somehow do you miss my voice, so to walk you can't afford it?" Reyden continued his slightly narcissistic sentence.
However, unexpectedly, Elmina who would usually explode when hearing a statement that pitched ridicule for him, now even issued a magic sentence that successfully made Reyden stunned.
"I miss your voice so much, your scathing words, and .. everything about you, I miss."
DEG
Reyden smiled triumphantly. Not in vain all this time he held back the feeling of getting the girl to the gate where they could be together.
Yes, four years ago Mr. Sanjaya already knew the truth from Prima that Elmina loved their fugitive. However, she wanted her daughter to stay focused on her education, so she asked Reyden not to see her son at all.
Several times the young man crossed paths with Elmina, but he never met her directly. Remembering the message of Mr. Sanjaya, Reyden also had to withstand the same turmoil of longing.
It was undeniable, when he first saw Elmina, the young man had already fallen for her. Remember the moment where Reyden was chased by the police and fell on the roof of the girl's car?
That's when her love story began. However, as a young man in the guise of a fugitive, there was no way he would express his feelings blatantly. And, for what reason in every mission four years ago, Elmina was always involved? The answer is because it is the destiny line of both.
Reyden believed it was fate. Destiny of the Creator, where the girl he always mocked was a figure that was created for him.
"Don't you miss me?" Elmina asked without feeling any prestige. The feeling in his heart had already burst out and he could not possibly be able to if asked to hold it back again.
For many years he lived in the misery of the soul. Without certainty, the girl considers that her love is just a joke. But it turns out he was wrong. True love does not come suddenly. It is togetherness that makes love blossom between two human children. And that happened to him.
Hearing Elmina's question, Reyden simply cleared his throat.
"You have to get your title first" she said to wake Elmina up that everyone's eyes were on them.
