ILLUSIANA (CONTRACT MARRIAGE)

Episode 96's

The long awaited day finally came. Her wedding day to Ferdian, the man she yearns to be the crutch of her life.

Amanda with a beautiful kebaya wrapped in white bone, and a minimalist patterned dark brown batik cloth, looks elegant and charming.

In addition, with a bun that is not too big decorated slightly on the front, making this twenty-nine-year-old woman appear like a royal princess.

Velly the friend standing beside her looked in admiration at her. How not, for Velly Amanda is the smartest to perfect himself with makeup that matches his face.

“Where? Perfect yet?” ask Amanda to her best friend while staring at a large mirror with a bright light bulb around her.

“Perfect, Nda. Beautiful.” replied Velly while fusing her index finger and thumb into a circle.

Amanda seemed to fly floating in praise by her best friend.

“I will make Ferdian fascinated today," his determination while imagining the figure of Ferdian stood stunned to see his beauty later.

“Sure, Nda. He'll be crazy about you. Which guy can stop you? I'm beautiful, sexy, smart again,” praise Velly again with exaggeration. Make Amanda's confidence soaring.

Geck...Geck...Geck...

The door to the room was knocked from the outside. Without the permission of a middle-aged woman also wearing a white kebaya and shouldered in to approach Amanda.

“It's done with the makeup, Nda?” ask the woman to check Amanda's makeup.

“Already, Ma.”

“Good, all is neat. Guests have arrived, pak penghulu has also arrived. Just waiting for his bridegroom,“ said the woman called Mama by Amanda.

At first glance Amanda glanced at the clock attached to the wall of the room. It was already nine o'clock, should Ferdian have come thirty minutes ago. Because the schedule of the Ijab kabul pronunciation event is at nine o'clock exactly.

There was a flash of rage in his heart waiting for the prospective bride not yet present.

Amanda recalled two weeks ago when she urged Ferdian to take responsibility for marrying her. The man says it's up to him and please set it up at any time.

And when Amanda chose today for her kabul ijab event, the man said ‘Baiklah’. For Amanda, that means she agreed to the event today that Amanda and her mother had arranged.

A woody man rushed into his room with a face.

“Mbak! Sister Amanda.... Ouchh!" it was so enthusiastic.

“What's up, Jae?” ask Amanda's mom.

“Having arrived...” exclaimed again pointing outwards.

“His groom has arrived?” ask Amanda's mother with wide eyes happy. Amanda and Velly stood up to get ready to leave the room.

“Not, Aunt. That wreath of aunt colleagues has come a lot. Jae was confused where to arrange. Aduuhh...” The answer made the faces of the three women spontaneously change.

“Huh! Bummer! I thought the groom was coming. Taro only where the cake, in front of your house can also. Things are so complicated," her mother Amanda's nagging glared at Jae kemayu.

Amanda began to show her panicked look when she saw the clock on the wall showing at nine o'clock past fifteen minutes. So did Velly and his mother who stood restless.

“Mama meet the guests first, deh. Well, where the hell is the groom?" mama Amanda grumbled as she passed out of the room.

“Nda, Ferdian promised, right? He's going to marry you today?” ask Velly slowly. There was worry in her tone because she already knew what Amanda had done to herd Ferdian to marry her.

Amanda nodded doubtfully with her heart beginning to fret and fidget.

“Try waiting a few more minutes maybe stuck in traffic,” said Amanda tried to calm herself. Then sit in front of the mirror. Sculpting himself again checked if his makeup began to crack due to the lines of anxiety that appear on his face now.

Seconds by seconds passed. Minutes by minutes walk. Until ten o'clock past five minutes, there was also no sound of 'the groom has come!'.

Amanda's mother walked into the room again with a look of annoyance.

“Penghulu already wants to go home, she has another show somewhere else. Try calling Ferdian, Nda,” command mama soon.

Amanda grabbed her phone on the table, then looked for Ferdian's contact, then called him.

No tone or notice of any kind was heard on that phone line. Likewise, in the application conversation no longer seen Ferdian's face photo with Lusi in the profile photo of his contact.

“Not active,” says Amanda lethargic.

Velly and his mother are confused. While Amanda was bowed in lethargy. With a look of anger the mother left Amanda and Velly who were both bowed lethargic.

A tear fell from the corner of his eye. He felt deeply humiliated and humiliated by Ferdian right on the day he should have been happiest.

Velly rubbed Amanda's shoulders trying to calm her heart. He knows Amanda's the kind of woman who explodes if her emotions get out of hand.

“I'm humiliated, Vell. In front of the crowd, my relatives and colleagues mama,”, said Amanda on the sidelines of his rampage.

Velly was still rubbing Amanda's shoulders gently, trying to dive into the feelings of heartache and bath injury that Amanda was now experiencing.

“Nda. Maybe that's also what Ferdian felt two years ago, when you betrayed him just the day before your wedding.”

Amanda raised her face looking at Velly with her wet eyeballs.

“Velly? You mean that Ferdian's revenge? This is different, Vel. I am pregnant now.” Amanda's tone of voice rose.

“It's true you're pregnant, but not from the seed. You are not fair to treat Ferdian like this, forcing him to take responsibility for what he never did,” said Velly also with a high tone of voice.

“But only in that way can I get him back, Vel,” Amanda again.

Velly shook his head to look at Amanda. “You are wrong and very cheap, Nda. I've told you many times, take Ferdian's heart, not his body or his treasure. If you've got his heart all his will surely he give it to you.”

Amanda stared at Velly's face at a glance, then bowed to let her tears fall down the fabric of her danger.

“What about my pregnancy, Vel?" the whisper softly while rubbing his stomach which is still flat.

Velly took a deep breath, then exhaled again in length.

“As of you, Nda. What's in your womb is your son. You should decide, not me or anyone.”

Velly moved from his seat. Patting Amanda gently on the shoulder and then passing out of the room left Amanda sobbing, regretting her fate.

Mr. Dirman opened the door for a white sedan car that was glazed from earlier. The car drove in and stopped right in front of the terrace of the luxury house.

Mr. Dirman ran over. It appears Amanda rushed out of her car still with a kebaya and batik cloth complete with a bun, but with makeup that almost faded on all parts of her face.

Amanda rushed into the house with her angry steps.

Ma'am Ira who was cleaning the family room gasped in shock to find Amanda entering and rushed to climb the stairs to the second floor.

Mr. Dirman who had been standing next to Mbak Ira also blocked Amanda.

“To Ferdian room. Watch out!” Amanda shifted the big hands of Mbak Ira who was still firmly facing him.

“Boss is not available. Boss again on honeymoon. Honeymoon, you know?” tell Mother Ira with her mouth turned to Amanda.

Amanda doesn't understand Ira's mother's words. “Honeymoon, who's the same?”

“Yes, same wife, same time wife people," replied Mbak Ira softened.

“Sama Lusi?”

“Yes yes, yes dong.“ Ira's mom still sneers at him.

“Long you! Fucking maid base4an!” hardik Amanda is still trying to break through the hands of Mbak Ira who is still stretched.

“Yeee, whatever you don't believe. And there is a gift from Boss, special for you,” said mbak Ira later.

Mr. Dirman standing next to Ma'am Ira rushed to take something to Ferdian's study. He soon returned with a large brown envelope. And hand it over to Amanda.

Amanda immediately opened the envelope, curious about the contents.

A mobile phone with a screen that says 'play the video', along with a picture of a friendly photo of himself with Ivan and a small letter attached to the top of the photo.

Amanda's looking for a video file that's the only one on the phone. Twisted it.

And so shocked he saw the impression of himself being with Ivan in the living room of his apartment complete with all the recognition of his very bright and clear heard.

Ma'am Ira and Mr. Dirman who took a peek watching from behind Amanda's back spontaneously expressed disgust at the scenes of Amanda and everything she said in the video.

“Badness, Ivaaan!!!” he shouted loudly while slamming the phone to the floor until it fell apart.

He saw a picture of himself in Ivan's arms in the lobby of a discotheque. Then pull out the small letter that was stuck on it. Slowly open the letter. There's Ferdian's handwriting there.

‘Don't you ever bother me or my family again. And don't try to show yourself in front of me or my family. You better stay away because I've reported you to the authorities for the drug abuse you did to me. Thank you for all your honest confessions in your apartment. That's been a big help to me. You certainly don't want it to spread in the media, do you?

And congratulations on your marriage. Good luck.’

Amanda was sitting limp on the floor with tears streaming down. He ruffled his hair and slammed his bun which he forcefully removed. Then get up and run fast to his car to quickly leave the house.

“Bye Bye!” ledek Mbak Ira and Mr. Dirman together while laughing giggling.

With a whirlwind of the night and a traditional musical sound, Ferdian and his family enjoyed an open-air dinner overlooking the beach.

The sound of the waves sounding from a distance adds to the romantic atmosphere tonight.

Finger - Finger Ferdian and Lusi never loose knitting each other friendly. Occasionally small kisses from Ferdian's lips landed on Lusi's forehead and cheeks that felt cold due to the night wind.

Likewise, Lusi who has begun to look more aggressive by occasionally putting his head on Ferdian's shoulder and biting the small backs of her husband's hands.

Ferdian loved it when Lusi did that, making him impatient to get him back in the room.

“I Love you,” whispered Ferdian in Lusi's ear as he kissed her earlobes. Makes Lusi giggling feel the carelessness.

“Heh, old stock newlyweds. Don't be jealous of dong!" Reynard protested as he poked a piece of tissue that formed a ball towards Ferdian.

“Jomblo istiqomah,” call Ferdian slowly on Lusi pointing towards Reynard. But cantika, Dio and Reynard also heard it. Everyone laughed except for Reynard.

“Hmm, my new Gebetan clay. Beautiful, sexy. Just this acquaintance at noon on the beach, he almost got carried away by the waves and I saved him" Reynard said proudly.

“Sort of movie actors baywatch aja,” timpal Dio, greeted another laugh.

“Later I knowin, do not be surprised yes, beautiful kebangetan. And Dio, you don't try to follow Nyosor. Watch out!” threaten Reynard's.

Cantika, who was sitting next to Reynard, patted Reynard on the shoulder because she did not like him to carry Dio in his women's affairs.

“Kak Rey, look out for Dio!” namel Cantika glared angrily at Reynard.

“Good, Mother Cantika. Calm down,” said Reynard cupped his palms toward Cantika.

Ferdian bobbles his head at their sometimes absurd but ridiculous behavior.

And Susi laughed crisply at the babble of her new family. He really feels happy right now.

There was a flash of happiness in Lusi's eyeballs. Her sweet smile continued to float on her lips.

Now he has a whole family.

There is Dio, the true friend who is always present in times of joy and sorrow.

There was Cantika his sister-in-law who was very considerate of him.

And there's Reynard who's always protecting her.

A family, a place where he will always go home, a place to find comfort and a place to feel happiness.

Ferdian turned to Lusi by his side. In her kiss the back of Lusi's hand gently. Then pull him to get out of the seat. And Lucia complied.

“Hei Bro's. Went where? Dinner was not finished yet" Reynard reprimanded Ferdian and Lusi.

“Urusan couple,” replied Ferdian briefly, then holding Lusi's hand passed from before them.

So did Dio who rose to his feet grabbed Cantika's fingers. The girl complied, got up and took Dio's hand to leave the astonished Reynard alone.

“Ehh, where are you going?” hold Reynard.

“Streeting,” replied Dio briefly then pulled Cantika's hand.

Reynard who enjoyed his dinner alone with a face of annoyance at being left behind by the two couples.
