CHAPTER 17



Wedding Altar.


***


Today was the day Tian and Gita got married. The wedding took place in one of the Tian family buildings.


Decorations are great. White is indeed the dominant color now, but roses are very much there. White flowers there are only a few in some places, in addition to the flowers that the Gita will hold.


Maybe Tian and Gita want to symbolize the struggle of love that is full of twists, instead of describing the sacred love.


Guests have started arriving. Most are Company colleagues, relatives, and friends of friends both from SD, SMP, SMA, all there is.


Tian wears a black suit, while Gita wears a white dress.


Their escort is the son of two daughters with wavy hair. Each wore a white dress with a flower basket on his hands.


Andrian is still there. Looking at the preparation of the two bride-to-be behind the altar.


Gita's mother cried embracing her child, occasionally wiping her tears so that the fur did not fall on the dress that was most important for her child.


Her makeup faded carried away by tears that dripped profusely. The river could not stand still for a second.


Next to her, her husband calmed her, pulling the hand of the wife who was still running around her daughter.


In any case, the marriage will be done soon, and the state of his wife is very chaotic. Far from being good.


Andrian understands. If she had a daughter someday, maybe she would be like that too, even if she didn't cry like that.


A daughter is a family diamond. Keeping it needs extra strength. If you want to keep it to be replaced by a certain amount of money does not count someday, then you have to take good care of the diamond.


The diamond will break when you squeeze it too tight. But the diamond will be safe when you wipe it with gentleness.


Diamonds will be stolen when you can't make them hide their perfection.


Like a girl. You must teach him well and correctly if you want abundant happiness in your old age.


Girls will defy and escape your sight when you bend it too deeply. Make him feel the comfort of the affection and love of parents.


Girls will be wrong when you don't teach them to look after themselves and respect. Teach her not to be wild in dress or attitude.


Moving to the other side, Andrian saw the Tian family was much more relaxed. His father sat to the right of Tian and his mother sat to the left of Tian.


His mother tidied up Tian's suit which was completely flawless. The family seems happy. His father smiled when he saw his son was very nervous.


Her voice squeezed the pants she was wearing because of her nervousness.


The people had to separate and move on the road that they had been on. In position and position respectively.


The wedding procession begins. Everyone could not turn their faces away from the path of sorrow that flashed in the middle of the hall.


Now they saw the altar door opened with a bride in a white dress in her father's arm.


The flower-bearer's son is very smart. About four years old, it shouldn't be the place to be at this very important event.


But the two children seemed to be very unreasonable. Anxious gazes stared at everyone passing by sprinkling flowers at each of their steps.


Hearts step in front of the groom.


This procession invites a lot of admiration and heartbreak considering the many devotees of Tian both among friends, colleagues, and the bottom.


***


Andrian talked to some business people. Some of them are excellent fraudsters who are very smart at making money.


An answer to a question is nothing more than a stale base. There are also those who insert an unnatural fellowship.


Andrian took his ear from these sycophants. The waiter gave her one glass of tertiary wine in her tray. In one gulp, the wine went into Andrian's digestive system.


His eyes were watching the entire room. Other than the joy of his best friend, nothing appeals to Andrian. His eyes fell on the glass again.


The corner of his eye caught the figure of a woman holding a small child with a man beside her.


It was Alex and Bila. The one he was holding was Denis. Alex's son.


If Andrian did not know before they were brothers, surely Andrian would think that they are a very harmonious couple. With the child that falsifies the relationship.


Andrian's shoulder felt patted. Tian smiled towards Andrian.


He is now in the stage of true adulthood to be said as a man. So Tian would pay more attention to his attitude towards anyone.


"You haven't congratulated me yet" she recalled.


Andrian smiled, His best friend is married. He was quick, but he was happy too.


"Congratulations to your marriage, now you've become a husband. Be a responsible husband" Andrian said warmly.


Tian smiled for the umpteenth time. There was a pause of a few minutes as he asked, "You don't want to ask me anything?"


Andrian glared, cursed Tian.


"You mean?" Andrian asked not to understand.


Tian turned his wine glass.


"I mean, like why he's here," Tian pointed towards Bila.


Andrian stamped Tian, taking the wine from a passing servant.


"Why is he here? Don't you kinda dislike him?" Ask Andrian.


"My mother invited him."


Andrian stretched his finger around the glass. Knock the glass with his thumb.


"Why did your mother invite him?"


Tian opened his mouth for almost an inch and a half as someone embraced him as well as Andrian.


"Y!!!! Wherever from before. I'm looking for you both. I thought you were kidnapped."


Adit curled Tian and Andrian's head.


With a compact they release themselves each.


Adit who felt shrewdness in both hands crept his hands behind the pocket of the suit he was wearing. Smiling foolishly with long hair. His fine facial lines are getting stern with age.


"We are adults, we should also be adults. I'm married, and the burden I'm carrying is no longer a teenager or a single man like you," Tian slid into an irritating eyebrow tease.


The three of them laughed together.


"Oho, okay, Mr. The honorable tian. Congratulations on your wedding today,"


Again, the three of them laughed. Make everyone watch them.


"Who are you here with?" Andrian drank the wine a third time.


Staring at Adit by combing the neatly arranged hair. "I? With Natasha. Just now that I was looking for you guys to the Gita, Natasya ended up chatting with him,"


Tian looked towards Andrian. "I guess you're the only one who doesn't have a partner,"


They both laughed. Andrian's face was just flat, not intending to continue on this topic.


"So who are you here with?" Ask Adit who eased his laughter when he saw the person tempted not to respond at all.


"Who else if not his beloved sister. Wherever he wanted to hire a cheap woman to accompany him even one night," Tian replied by poking Andrian's arm.


The three of them chatted familiarly. It seems that the distance and the problems that are passed are not proof that their friendship is over.


Andrian was allowed to go to the bathroom because he felt tired and drank too much. In the toilet, Andrian washed his face fresher. Looking at her reflection in the mirror.


This is a figure that he believes will never think will hurt others and prefers to keep all the memories. But it feels like he can't. Every time he hoards, it always involves a grudge that he tightly shuts down.


Andrian scooped water on his face many times. Loosening ties that feel suffocating. He went from the toilet to his best friend.


Out of the toilet, Andrian was startled by someone blocking his way out. With Denis Bila looked surprised to cross paths with Andrian.


"Ayoo aunty, I want to pee. I can't be alone so come with me,"
