“Mas, help me.” Naina pulled up her long dress and showed off her beautiful legs wrapped in silver sneakers. The hero would not allow him to wear high heels. The man is worried that it will affect his pregnancy just entering the first trimester.
The hero smiled, staring at the untied bonds of Naina's shoes. Without hesitation, the man in a white suit knelt down and tidied up the knots of the laces in his ex-wife's shoes that would turn into a wife in a few minutes.
“From now on, let me do it for you, Nai.” The hero looked up, smiling sweetly looking at Naina. “I'd like to pay for the three years I've missed. Let me make it up to you.” The hero throws a smile back.
Naina scowled, she had been annoyed since the beginning of getting into the hotel room. The hero does not allow her to wear beautiful shoes like the bride in general. Instead, Wira asks William to buy Naina fashionable sneakers in silver.
Hero chuckles. “Darling, don't do this. You seem to have to marry me.” Wira commented after seeing Naina's pouting face.
“It's weird, Mas.” Those sad eyes stared at the 5 cm high heels he had prepared from home. He had thought he would wear it when he made a sacred promise with Wira.
“You stay beautiful in my eyes, Nai.” The hero held Naina's hand out of the room to the event venue. Vienna, their daughter had already headed to the location with Rima and accompanied by Papa Wira who was present that afternoon with Ratih and Nonik. There was also Barata Wirayudha, a cousin of Wira who was asked to be one of the witnesses of their second marriage.

“Sah!”
The hero breathes a sigh of relief when he manages to pin the wedding ring on Naina's ring finger. Wedding bells clink, accompanied by claps of invited guests who are only filled by relatives and close friends. The smile never escaped from the lips of Wira, the man clasped tightly onto the hand of Naina who was always standing next to him, throwing the same smile.
“Nai, are you tired?” ask the whisper. There are concerns that are more than words. His wife is not alone, Naina is with their baby who is curled up quietly in the womb.
“If you are tired .. you can sit,” Wira suggested.
“No, Mas. I'm fine.”
After the sacred event, the sacred vows followed by the signing of marriage documents, religious and state legalization, they still have to entertain colleagues and families in the same location. The hero deliberately asked his assistant to organize all the events in one place. She does not want Naina to be exhausted and affect their baby.
Rows of tables and chairs are arranged in such a way, some of which are filled with colleagues and family. Funtion hall that has been beautifully decorated with rose gold shades. Naina, who is sitting at the table with Papa Wira and her stepmother, is seen chatting casually while enjoying the dish. The hero himself seemed to pacing back and forth greeting his co-workers and best friend.
“Nai, after marriage ... where do you live?” papa Wira asked, looking at her daughter-in-law at a glance.
“At Mas Wira's apartment, Pa.” Naina answered while putting the salmon piece into her mouth. Sitting next to her, Vienna is fed by her nanny. The little girl looked happy throughout the show. Especially when he saw his father holding hands and hugging each other, Vienna already wanted to run closer and join.
“Oh, please visit home often. Since Mama entered the hospital, Papa has not returned there again.” Papa Wira said slowly. There was an unspeakable pain, there was an unspoken guilt in the voice of the old man.
“Ya, Pa.”
“Contact ...” Papa Wira was speechless, unable to continue his sentence as his eyes caught the figure of Dennis who suddenly walked into the venue. The man approached Wira who was talking to Bara.
The dry lips smiled. He could be a little relieved at this time. Seeing Dennis who can get along with Wira, seeing Bara who can embrace Wira. The three of them are like brothers. There is a burden that falls from the shoulders of Papa Wira. The new relief he got after passing half a century.
It had been a long time since he wanted to share all these secrets. However, he was bound by promises to many people. Maybe he and Mama Wira will do the same as the others. Will be silent until life is detached from the body. Let this secret be brought to death and buried with the ground.
Wira, the son she got with a tube baby program abroad. Not all countries legalize the process of tube babies with sp'erma donors. In accordance with the agreement of Wirayudha's extended family, he who was convicted of not being able to get offspring after several years of struggle, could finally have the opportunity to become a father even though not from his seed. At least the baby that his wife conceived and born, also flowed the blood of Wirayudha. The right to inherit wealth, assets and family companies.
“Pa, are you okay?” ask Naina, astonished. In the middle of the party crowd, his father-in-law even daydreamed.
“Yes, Nai. Papa is fine.” Papa Wira hurriedly upheld his seat and acted normally. Ratih, the wife of Siri hastily clasped her husband's hand under the table. The young woman was well aware of her husband's habits.
Naina followed the direction of her father-in-law's view, she could see Dennis talking to Wira and Bara. The man looked handsome in a black suit. Dennis did not even greet him, only sending a fleeting glance from a distance.

“Wir, I'll fly to America, tomorrow afternoon.” Dennis spoke seriously. “I don't know when I'll be back. I'm picking up Mama,” continued Dennis.
Hero jerks. The happy smile on his lips disappeared. Replacingly researching the adult man before him.
“What's up?” ask Wira.
“I'll settle in America. Angie has started school .. and I can't leave her again.” Dennis glanced at Naina. The woman even ignored him.
“I can ask for your help?” ask Dennis doubtfully.
“What's up?”
“Stevi .. about Stevi. If you have time, please help me keep an eye on him. I've paid people to take care of her and look after her. But ... that's not enough. Someone has to be watching him. No need every day. Regarding the cost .. I will bear it. Anyway, Stevi is Angie's real mother, my daughter.” Dennis says it clean.
Smiling hero. “Do not worry. I think Naina doesn't mind either. Yesterday, we discussed Stevi.” The hero patted Dennis' arm slowly, which ended with a warm hug.
“Thank you for attending my wedding,” Wira said in between her arms.
“Sama-sama.”
