After college, Edewina was picked up by Riani. This time I will see the shoes I wear.
Edewina was grateful that Reo did not attend because there was a meeting that she could not leave.
They entered a famous shoe store in England. Several models of shoes have been prepared in the VIP room.
"Dear girl, choose which shoes you will wear on your wedding day." said Riani softly.
"I.....!" Edewina. He hoped something would happen and the marriage was broken.
"Let's take a look, son. Which one fits in your eyes."
Edewina chose with the origin of one model of shoes. But when the shopkeeper put it on her feet, the girl was surprised to be so beautiful at her feet.
"Let's pick again, son. One for the blessing and one for the reception."
"The other one, mommy's the one who chooses."
"Really?" Riani looks happy.
"Yes." Yeah."
Riani chose a pink-white shoe. "What do you think?"
"Good, mom."
After coming from the shoe store, Riani invited Edewina to have coffee together.
"Dear girl, can mommy ask you something?"
"Of course I can."
"I'm sorry mommy was wrong. But mommy saw that Vienna seemed less excited in the preparation of this wedding. Yesterday when choosing a ring with Reo, mommy also noticed that Vienna did not vote. What was? Did Reo force Vienna into this marriage?"
Edewina was silent for a moment. I want him to say honestly about his heart. But when he heard how the opa was very enthusiastic about this marriage, how opa health became better, Edewina was forced to undo his intentions.
"No, mom. It's just that on campus there's a little problem with one of the lecturers. Edewina's value was a bit down while Edewina didn't know what was Edewina's fault."
Riani clasped Edewina's hand. "That's how smart kids are. Mommy was in college like you. It feels very stressful if the value is bad. But just relax downstairs, huh? Don't be so uptight."
"Yes mommy."
"Mommy is happy because Reo is finally getting married. For many years he was always alone, had no close female friends other than Indira who he considered only as his sister. Mommy thinks that Reo may be a lover of some kind because there are many like that here. Apparently not. You have won Reo's heart. And you've also won mommy's heart." Riani held Edewina's cheek. "May God bless you, son."
Edewina became touched by the affection Riani gave her. He became unbearable like this while he did not love Reo at all even Edewina hated the man.
*********
Mahira knocked on the door of her son's room. After that he went in and saw Edewina studying.
"Honey, this is a cake from Reo's mother."
"Putu kue? Is it here?"
Mahira opened the food box. Edewina who really likes putu cake directly eat it. "Enak. Any idea where I like this cake?"
"Mrs Riani asks what your favorite is. He wants you to be the daughter-in-law of the Almond family."
Edewina snorted in annoyance. "Ma, can this marriage not be postponed anymore?"
"It's almost done. Do you want to disappoint your opa?"
"But I don't love Reo, ma."
Mahira sat in front of her daughter. "When you were married to a papi, you didn't love her. Mami still loves Papa Teddy. However, Papi Edmond was so sincere in love with mommy. Her sincerity made her fall in love with him."
Edewina. "I can't possibly fall in love with Reo." Because all my love is for Ken.
"Mommy saw how Reo looked at you. Like the way papi looks at mami. Full of love. For some reason, my mother did not hesitate to hand you over to Reo's hand. Moreover, Reo's parents look good. Mama Reo is both Indonesian."
Edewina tried to smile at the thing that her heart was so tormented. I just want to get out of here and disappear.
Mahira stands. "Good fun with the cake. Mommy wants to see opa first."
"Yes." answered Edewina briefly. He lost his taste for the cake.
After her mother left, Edewina took her cell phone. View photo gallery. Her sweet memories with Ken are numerous. Unaware Edewina was crying. Ken, I miss you so much.
***********
On campus, Edewina completed some of her assignments quickly. They're going to go on summer break.
"Win, how's your wedding preparation? I just found out that Reo is one of the famous young entrepreneurs. His company was awarded as the most successful company last year. He's also a surfer like Jack Almond's dad" Clara said as they rested in the cafeteria.
"Gue doesn't know."
"It's too far above me."
"It's not even 9 years. If papa and my mom make a difference of 15 years and still love each other until now."
Edewina shook her head. "Gue's dizzy. Don't know how to."
"Just enjoy it, Win. He still lets you go to college. I'm sure Reo's a good guy. I did not find any news that reported that he was a play boy, had a girlfriend, had lived at home with models and so on. The record is clean. A real man like that. Even if it turns out he has an affair with the girls, maybe it's hidden."
"Ah.., do not know me. Dizziness." said Edewina patted his eel.
"Good day...!"
Edewina was surprised to hear Reo's voice. He raised his face. What is this guy here?
Sinta stomped on Edewina's feet seeing her best friend just turn her face elsewhere.
"What's wrong?" edewina asked coldly.
"Darling, I picked you up for the boutique. We want fittings for wedding clothes." said Reo.
"I'm still there...."
"Our business is done today, right? You just go. Later send through wa list of values that come out." Sinta cut off her best friend's speech. He knew that Edewina would definitely refuse.
Edewina glared at her best friend.
"Have gone!" Sinta pulled her best friend's hand to stand up.
Edewina grabs her bag and leaves soon followed by Reo.
Edewina's fast road did not make it difficult for Reo to chase after him because the man's legs were long.
Edewina's car is being used by his two younger siblings who want to travel around London today.
"Why don't you just call me and let me go alone?" ask Edewina.
"I know you didn't bring a car. The distance to London is almost 1 hour. You're tired of having to take the bus."
"Not to care." - ketus Edewina. Reo just smiled at the sour face of his future wife. Want to bend however, Edewina's face still looks beautiful in Reo's eyes.
After arriving at the parking lot, Reo opened the door for Edewina. As usual, the girl sat in the back.
"Win, why are you sitting in the back?"
"What's the problem with sitting in the back?" ask Edewina.
Reo took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. There was pain in Reo's heart seeing how Edewina behaved to him. But the guy was trying to be patient. There are only a few days left and Edewina will be his.
They finally arrived at the fashion house The Aslon (who read my Best Photo novel must remember). No conversation was made along the way, although Reo tried to get him and Vienna to talk. In fact, the girl spoke a thousand languages.
Maura Aslon, is one of the designers at the fashion house. She is also an Indonesian woman who still looks beautiful at her young age. Since Alicia Aslon, Maura's mother-in-law has chosen to retire, Ben Aslon's wife is now in charge of the Aslon fashion house.
"Hallo is beautiful, it's great to see that there are Indonesians here." Maura with a friendly attitude, as if she had known Edewina for a long time, immediately embraced the girl and spoke in Indonesian.
Riani was there with Mahira.
"Usually Indonesian women who are married to Caucasians are always made special. I know some Indonesian women here who are successful. Faith Thomson, Fairy Manola and a few others are responsible women who are able to bring good changes to her husband" Maura said while helping Edewina put on her wedding dress. She had to work extra because only 2 weeks of time was given for her to sew 2 wedding dresses.
"Well, you're so pretty, baby." Maura was amazed to see Edewina who looked like a princess while wearing her wedding dress.
Mahira and Riani agreed.
In the other room, Edmond, Jack and Reo were doing the same thing.
Jack looked at his son. There is a sense of happiness because Reo is finally getting married. Jack knew he was not young anymore. He has married Cassie and Arma, now only his youngest child. Heir to the throne of the Almond family.
Edmond looked at Reo. Although he still doubted Reo's sincerity with Edewina, he had no other choice. Edewina must marry Reo so that the old story does not repeat itself. Edmond feared that Edewina was pregnant and had to be raised by another male name.
Finished fitting bridal clothes, they drink coffee together. The time is still at half-five in the afternoon, certainly too soon for dinner.
"From tomorrow, we'll move to Manchester. The wedding will be held at one of the hotels near the beach. Somewhat privacy is because all guests who come must use a special identifier" said Jack.
"Yes. Reo said it. We also don't like a lot of journalists. We know that you're a famous person in England, so many people want to know about your life" Edmond said.
"We only invited close family and some business associates of Reo. Maybe only 100 people. But if there is another addition from the Moreno family in the pardon. The concept of the party is a garden party, it can be up to 500 people" said Riani.
"Our family is not much. From Spain probably about 10 people and from Indonesia as well. Understandably, her marriage was a bit sudden so the others had trouble getting a visa." this time Riani spoke. Edewina was silent. Every now and then, Reo who was sitting beside her invited the girl to talk. But Edewina did not pay much heed to him because he temporarily racked his brain to cancel this marriage.
