Love And Friendship

Welcoming Party

***

The day has gone late afternoon. Amel and his companions and bodyguards left Amel's private island. On the island there were only a few servants and bodyguards left. They will leave the next day after finishing work there.

After eight hours of travel they arrived at the airport. They were taken to a nearby hotel to rest.

The next day they were taken to the residence of Grandpa Bimantara because there Amel's extended family gave thanks for the return of Amel.

Amel's welcoming party was held in the backyard of Grandpa and Grandma Amel's residence. Because today is Sunday, so the party is held during the day.

Friends and business partners invited have started to arrive one by one. They congratulated the extended family of Bimantara and Mahandika because Amel survived the plane crash.

At the peak of the event, Grandpa Amel climbed to the pulpit and announced the wedding of Amel and Evan to be held in two months. Amel and Evan are asked to exchange rings as a sign of their engagement. Evan and Amel just follow their parents' wishes. The guests congratulated the two of them. There are also those who capture photos of the two of them and upload them to social media.

After finishing, Evan and Amel immediately joined his friends.

" I'm sorry, I'm late" said someone who had just arrived there. They were silent to see the person who had just arrived.

" Vina." said Rangga in surprise.

" Vina.." Inner Mona.

" It's like seeing a ghost" Vina said. Vina then approached Amel and Evan to congratulate him.

" Congratulations Mel, Van. You two are a good match" Mona said.

" Thank you" said Amel and Evan.

Vina then approached Rangga. They were all silent, even Rangga was dumbstruck from shock.

" Hey everybody... Hi Rang, how are you? Don't you miss me?" sapa Vina immediately sat beside Rangga. Suddenly the atmosphere became hot.

" Ba.ik.." replied Rangga stammering.

" Rang, can we talk to you both?" ask Vina.

" If you want to talk here." replied Rangga ketus.

" It turns out you changed a lot. You used to be so gentle and considerate." Mona who heard Vina's words felt like there was a big stone falling on her chest. Moreover, seeing his lover there is no intention to go avoid his ex-girlfriend. Without speaking he immediately left the place.

" Yank, where are you going?" yell Rangga. Rangga was about to catch up with Mona, but was restrained by Vina.

" Where are you going? We haven't spoken to Rangga" Vina said

" Dele go!!" rangga snapped while clasping Vina's hand. Rangga then ran out to catch up with Mona. While Vina smiled cunningly at the departure of the two people.

" Why did you come back here?" Steve stared intently at Vina.

" Hey, what's wrong with you guys? What's wrong with me going back to my country and pursuing what should be mine" Vina said confidently.

" We won't let you ruin Rangga and Mona's relationship. Remember that!" threat Riko.

" It's not like you guys used to be so supportive of me. And all of you even sent people to track my whereabouts when I went overseas" Vina said.

" We used to support you, because Rangga loves you. But now he loves Mona very much. So don't expect you to bother them" Rendi said.

" You're all very supportive of the girl as it turns out. But I can't believe that Rangga has forgotten me. There must still be love for me. It's not easy to forget first love." After saying that, Vina left the place.

" But she's more beautiful now" said Steve who later got the jewel in her ear.

" Jess hurts" said Steve as he rubbed his ears.

" If she's beautiful, you're dating her" Jessi said and left.

" Oh my goodness!! I was wrong again." said Steve as he ruffled his hair.

" Women are always right Bro" said Willy.

Amel smiled at his friends. Evan who accidentally saw Amel smiling, felt something strange.

" Come with me" said Evan, then pulled Amel's hand away from his companions.

" What's up, brother?" ask Amel.

" Who invited Vina here?"

" You're interested in Vina too, just like Steve?"

" I'm not interested in Vina. But I'm curious, there's no way he could have come if no one had invited him."

" It turns out my future husband is very smart." Amel blinked his eyes tempting Evan.

" You sick?" Evan held Amel's forehead.

" Yes, I'm sick for a long time with you."

" Is your heart unhealthy with me?" Evan teases Amel while smiling mischievously. Amel then advanced and approached Evan. Evan gasps as Amel gets closer to him, how not is he a normal boy and the girl before him is the girl he loves so much.

Amel kept getting closer to Evan's chest, so Evan had to endure the turmoil within his body. Amel smiled ignorantly seeing the change in Evan's face.

" It looks like you have to consult a heart specialist" Amel said then he left Evan laughing.

" Is he possessed huh, why is he now turning into a coquettish and spoiled. Go where is his ferocity?" muttered Evan. Evan held onto his chest while shaking.

After some distance, Amel turned to look towards Evan.

" save... It was fortunate that he did not ask any more about Vina." muttered Amel.

" What do you mean?" jessi asked who had arrived next to Amel.

" You're looking for Jess. Since when are you here?"

" Explain to me what you meant! And what are you planning."

" We eat now. I'll be clear." Amel then pulls Jessi towards the food stand. Actually Amel deliberately wanted to avoid Jessi's question.

" I know you want to avoid my question Mel. But I hope your plan won't hurt Mona and ruin our friendship." Amel smiled and went to the food stand followed by Jessi.

" At first I was worried when your father-in-law betrothed them both. But it looks like they can get along" said Evan's father who had noticed Evan and Amel.

" You're right. Usually they're like tom and jerry" said Amel's father. Then Amel's father and Evan's father laughed.
