Gio's touching heart made the entire ballroom rumble with applause.
Gio stirred his head wanting to know Luna's reaction, when his wife nodded Gio stood up and then kissed Luna's forehead affectionately.
"Don't cry Lunaku .. I don't want you to throw away these precious tears, I don't want to see it even though you say these are happy tears," said Gio while rubbing the clear circles in the corner of Luna's eyes.
Luna nodded, they then went from there to continue the next procession, which is a sungkeman event to ask for prayers and blessings from her parents.
Both Gio and Papi Luna's parents were already sitting in rows for the sungkumen ritual.
Gio knelt first in front of his parents, then shifted towards Papi Luna.
"Pi, I promise to take good care of and protect Luna as I take care of myself, I will also love her like a doting papi" said Gio, bowing his head in front of Papi Luna.
"But believe in you, son ... Papi leave your only daughter papi to you," said papi Luna as she patted her daughter-in-law on the shoulder. He was moved and embarrassed to see the earnestness of Gio, while he himself did not take care and love Luna well.
Now it was Luna's turn to ask for blessing, starting with daddy Lucas and then moving on to mommy Delia. "Mom, thank you for receiving me so well, mommy even gave me a warm hug and a mother's attention long before today, I'm so grateful! Restui me with Gio, and reprimand if I make a mistake later."
Mommy Delia nodded, she lowered her head hugging Luna but knew what to say. All he felt was the happiness that had soared due to his desire to make Luna as a daughter-in-law finally materialized. Without coercion, because they love each other.
When he moved to his papi, Luna's tears flowed rapidly without being able to stand anymore. "Pi, even though Luna has become a wife, but Papi is Luna's first love, and will forever be like that, Luna beg your blessing to live life with Luna's chosen man yes, Pi."
Mr. Dave hugged his daughter, his heart was sad to know how much Luna loved him, while all he gave all this time was suffering for his daughter. But now she is relieved, because Luna has a husband and also a new family that she believes in.
After the sungkem event came the most tiring event, namely the guest meeting event. Luna had to smile kindly to welcome any congratulations from the relationship of URM Group and also from Paradise Fashion itself.
Honestly, at this time Luna's lips were dry and her cheeks were stiff, it felt like she was no longer able to smile anymore.
"Gi, can we rest for a while, I'm thirsty" whispered Luna in Gio's ear.
"All right, let's go!"
Gio said goodbye to people who were business colleagues from his family, then took Luna away from the crowd.
Gio calls a waitress to bring Luna a drink, which she arrives with a tray of drinks for Luna.
Without the cue Luna took a sip to the toilet, and only felt relieved when the lychee-flavored water soaked her throat that was barren like a desert.
Luna dropped her body on the chair, it felt like she was too tired to stand up. If you know it will be like this, of course he does not want to hold a reception, just enough core rituals.
"Gi, can we get out of here? I'm tired" said Luna.
"Before a minute, dear .. I have to see my friends first. After that I will take you to rest" said Gio.
"I'm just here! But what will your friends say later, aren't they angry?"
"They must understand," Gio replied, he landed a kiss on Luna's cheek before swinging his long legs towards his friends.
Luna sat with her hands propping up her chin, watching the guests as endless. Along with that a long sigh he let go, hoping that this reception would end soon.
Rara came to Luna with a box of gifts in her hand.
"Congratulations, Lun .. eventually my dear friend got married too," said Rara, handing a special gift to Luna before hugging her best friend.
"And this is a gift from Manado for you." Rara took something out of the bag and handed it to Rara.
"Ehmm, by the way about Manado I was thinking of taking Gio honeymoon there, all this time I only know my papi is of Minahasa descent but I have never been there once," said Luna.
"Onty, it used to be the same time mama married papa in the belly of mama so there is a sister, what later in the stomach Onty there will also be a sister?" celtuk Rio interrupted the chatter of mama and onty Lunanya.
Luna looked smiling then carried Rio to her lap. "Yes, doain yes dear. Let Rio have another sister."
"really?" rio's reply was enthusiastic which Luna immediately embraced.
"Ra, there's something I want to ask you," said Luna with her arms still hugging Rio.
"About what?"
"About the first night."
Rara raises her eyebrows and pulls her child from Luna's lap. "Rio played with Rey and Ael's sister first yes, mama wants to talk about the same important onty Luna."
"Yes, Ma" answered the boy obediently, then ran to find the whereabouts of his two cousins.
"You don't know how the first night went?" rara asked in a mocking tone.
"It's not that, Ra. The first night it hurt, is it really like that?"
Rara laughed out loud before finally shutting her mouth as she realized the gazes of the guests who were on her.
"Luna, Luna .. you have-there is, yes, a leopard female like you is afraid of the first night," said Rara.
"Ck, just answer my question, Ra! You used to be MP the same time Sean was sick?" pissed Luna.
"I don't know, because I was drunk at the time." Rara chuckles. "But getting up early in the morning is quite painful anyway," he continued.
Luna's body immediately stiffened, her mind began to imagine the bridal night that she would soon pass.
"Even if it hurts, at least once, Lun. After that it was good." Rara chuckled again.
"Tell me what? Why is your face so tense, Lun?" It was mommy Delia who asked as she approached them.
"Onty just ask the same son-in-law," said Rara while smiling ignorantly.
"It's not a matter of passage, Mom," Luna replied almost without a sound.
Mommy Delia nodded, after all her arrival was not to mengepoi chat the two young women.
"You come with Mommy for a while, Lun .. want to be introduced to mommy's friends," he asked.
Luna nodded, then stood up from her seat. He then pulled the middle-aged woman here and there, to be introduced to his closest friends.
Luna was already very tired, fortunately all this did not last long as they were almost at the end of the event.
The next event was to throw a bouquet of satin flowers, Gio and Luna had already gone up on stage, they were waiting for the girls to gather for the bridal bouquet, they were waiting for the girls to gather for the bridal bouquet, which is said to be whoever wins it will soon follow the release of his bachelor.
In the other corner of the ballroom a woman gazed up at the stage with a spiteful look.
"You won't last much longer, Luna," Aline muttered with a sly smile.
Seriate.
