"Are you ready?" Selly looked at Kania who looked beautiful and graceful in a peach-colored wedding dress with gold thread embroidery.
"I'm ready." Kania nodded steadily. His face did not show any doubt.
"Kania, are you serious and will not regret this decision?" selly asked once again as if he wanted to confirm his best friend's decision.
"I'm serious and I make sure I never regret it." Kania regained her heart because she was already determined to help Arya. Even if he had to sacrifice his feelings, he was willing.
"All right, now we're going." Selly walked beside Kania towards a spacious stage. Next to the stage, Arya was already waiting. That guy looks good. The peach-colored suit looked matching on his dashing body. With a smile, Arya approached Kania and grabbed her hand.
Without hesitation, Kania received the man's helping hand with a smile that radiated at the corner of her lips. Friendly, Arya held Kania's hand while walking slowly towards the stage that looked luxurious.
On top of the bill, they sat together. The guests' gazes led to them. A sense of amazement and admiration is also seen from the gaze of those who always smile when they see the bride and groom. Moreover, upon seeing the little girl sitting among them. The beautiful and innocent face of the little girl makes people feel entertained by her always smiling behavior like a child model.
While in one corner of the room, Ryan seemed to sit while watching Kania who looked beautiful with her charming smile. With a smile, Kania greeted some guests who shook hands with her.
Ryan turned his eyes and looked at the happy looking father. The man looked proud as his friends praised his daughter-in-law's beauty. "Your son-in-law is very beautiful. Turns out, your son has really good taste." One of Wicaksana's friends praised him for making the man smile with pride.
Irritated, Ryan got up from his seat and walked out of the building. The atmosphere on the night was bright with the moonlight that looked beautiful. Starlight sprinkles add to the beauty of the night sky that looks like a scattered diamond.
The beautiful atmosphere of the night felt different in the eyes of the young man who was in fact disappointed. His handsome face looked gloomy and full of sadness. While the people were happy, the young man seemed to hold the sadness in his heart. His heart was broken when he saw the woman who had been a moor of his heart marry his own brother. Hate for betrayal, apparently not as much as love is still stored.
"Why should I be sad like this? Ah, do I deserve to cry for that girl?" Ryan took a deep breath as if he wanted to release the burden in his heart.
"I have to be strong. I must not dissolve in this inappropriate grief because she does not deserve my cry." The young man steadied his heart and brushed off the taste that once existed. With a definite step, he went back inside the building and sat down near his father.
On top of the guarantee, Kania smiled without any burden. Although what he is doing right now is a charade, but deep down he is sincere. If one day he has to let them go. Let go of the man now sitting next to her and the boy who made her a mother.
Gently, Kania stroked the little girl's head. Such a sincere feeling of affection would she lavish on him. Although it is not easy, he must be able to survive.
"Are you okay?" arya asked while looking at him. Kania nodded and smiled at the man. "I'm fine."
Kania looked straight ahead and saw Bastian sitting looking at him. At first glance, Kania flashed a smile for him and the young man simply nodded and returned a smile as if he wanted to say that he would always be there for his best friend.
"Do you love her?" selly asked when she saw Bastian who looked sad when she saw Kania.
The young man laughed softly upon hearing the girl's question. "If I love her, do you think I'll let her marry another man?"
"Then, why are you sad like that?"
"Do I look sad? Do each tear indicate sadness? No, right?"
Selly looked annoyed at the young man's reply. "That you, I'll ask you, but why are you asking me back?"
Bastian smiled as he looked at the pretty face of Selly who was pouting in annoyance. "Alright, don't be angry again, I'm sorry." Bastian smiled as he extended his hand to apologize to the girl. Although upset, Selly accepts Bastian's apology to her.
"Aren't you angry when you see Kania doing all this?"
Bastian stared at the smiling bride and groom at the guests who were shaking hands with them. "I'm not angry, but I'm just anxious."
"Again? If I may know, what worries you?"
"I'm worried that someday, Kania can't escape this marriage. What are we gonna do if they're gonna be stuck in this marriage forever?"
"That's what I want."
"That's impossible."
Selly looks upset. "What is impossible? Aren't they both very suitable. Kania is beautiful and Arya is very handsome, then what is impossible?"
"That's because Kania loves other people." Selly was so shocked when she heard Bastian's words.
"Hey, what's this shit? You don't want to say that he loves you, do you?"
"Not me, but him." Suddenly, Selly was surprised to see the figure Bastian meant.
"Ryan?"
Bastian nodded. "For now, I can't explain to you. Next time, I'll tell you. Better pretend not to know. I don't want Arya to know."
Although he did not believe Bastian's words, the girl nodded in agreement with the young man's words. She did not expect that Kania loved Ryan, the young man who had now become her sister-in-law.
On top of the guarantee, Ryan tried to smile as the photographer began to do his job. In front of many people, the young man acted as if he was happy with his brother's marriage, but in fact he was getting tired of the hustle and bustle he was playing himself.
One by one the invited guests began to retreat. Wicaksana looked happy as she escorted her friends in front of the building door. Seeing her father's happy smile and laughter, Arya also felt happy.
"Here you go, I'm happy to see you happy. From this moment on, your father is my father because I already consider him my own father. So, let me do my job as her daughter." Kania said that in earnest.
"Are you serious about what you said?" Ryan stared at Kania, as if he was doubtful of the girl's words.
"Ryan, why are you asking like that?"
"I'm sorry, brother. I was just kidding. I know, my sister-in-law loves you very much. Yeah, right, sister-in-law?"
Kania just smiled and said nothing. He chose silence instead of serving the young man's hatred for him.
"Mama, I'm sleepy." Tania was seen yawning while occasionally rubbing her eyes.
"Patience, yes, son. We'll be back home soon." Persuade Kania while sitting in front of the little girl.
"Here, let Papa carry." Arya then grabbed the body of her daughter and carried it.
"Are you two going home?" kania asked Bastian and Selly who were already standing in front of her.
Bastian nodded. Looking at the young man, Kania smiled and hugged him. "Are you okay?" bastian asked as Kania let go of his embrace. The girl nodded while smiling at her best friend.
"I know, you must be depressed by his presence, but are you sure you can handle it?" Kania nodded with an forced smile. "Don't worry, I can handle it."
"If you're sure, I'll definitely support you. Endure, if not able, it is good to give up so that your heart is not tormented."
Hearing Bastian's words, Kania smiled with tears hanging from her eyes. Kania knew her best friend was so worried about her. However, the path he had taken could no longer make him turn around. He must keep walking, even though the road may be full of thorns.
Seeing their friendship, Selly was so amazed. At first glance, he looked at the indifferent-looking Ryan. "Is Kania okay if she really loves Ryan? Ah, why would she be stuck in this marriage if she ended up being tormented?" Selly looked back at Kania and immediately hugged her.
"Hold on, I know it's very difficult. If I had known from the beginning, I wouldn't have asked you to do any of this."
Kania looked at Selly in surprise. "Selly, what are you talking about?"
The girl then looked at Ryan to make Kania understand. "Did Bastian tell you?"
"I'm sorry, if from the beginning I knew, I ... "
"It's all I want not because of you. I sincerely did it because I love Tania. I'm aware of the risks of the path I've taken, but I'm sure it will all end well without anyone getting hurt. Never mind, don't worry about me. You know, he's I've forgotten." Kania whispered in the girl's ear with a smile on her lips even though her heart still could not forget the young man.
"Bas, I'm Selly's. Please take her home." Bastian nodded and then left with Selly.
"Bastian, I'd like to hear your explanation about Kania and Ryan right now. Actually, what's the connection?" Selly who was so curious finally asked for an explanation from the young man.
"But ... "
"I'll go with you." Selly finally asked the driver to return. Without a doubt, Selly got on the young man's bike and went to a cafe.
Bastian can't dodge. Until finally, Selly knows the story of Kania's life journey. From the family to the love story of the girl who was forced to run aground. Hearing Bastian's explanation, Selly cried. She did not expect Kania's life to be so miserable. And she felt guilty for asking Kania to do the contract marriage.
"Then, now what should we do? Until when will Kania keep that secret from Arya? Although there is no love between them, but I'm sure Arya will definitely get hurt if she knows Kania is her sister's ex-lover who once betrayed her sister. Arya was very affectionate towards Ryan and she would definitely sacrifice her feelings as long as her sister was not hurt." Selly looks so anxious.
"Do we have to be honest with Ryan about why Kania left him first? I'm sure, if he knew the reason for Kania, he would have forgiven Kania. What say?" ask Selly.
"If Ryan knew, would that change things? What's wrong is gonna get messed up. Ah, I myself am confused what to do. I'm just afraid Ryan hurt Kania because he hated Kania too much. Instead, let's leave it alone, let time solve this problem. As a friend, I can only give Kania support and I hope you can do the same."
"Well, I'll be quiet, but I'll always be with Kania. Although I only knew him, but I admired him and from now on I will be his best friend."
Seeing Selly supporting Kania, Bastian smiled. He did not expect, the rich girl who looked arrogant and arrogant turned out to have a very good heart.
"Come, I'd better take you home." Selly nodded and walked beside the young man. With his motorbike, Bastian drove Selly until he arrived at his home.
While in the room, Kania looked confused because he saw their bed that had been put together. In front of him now, looks bed that has been decorated with various flowers and decorations like the newlyweds room.
"I'm sorry, I didn't tell you before. I was also surprised when my father suddenly asked some people to decorate this room. Therefore, I immediately put away your bed." Arya tries to explain so that Kania does not misunderstand her.
"You don't have to worry, I'll sleep on the couch and you can sleep on my bed." Arya then rushed to pick up her pillow and blanket.
"No need, let me sleep on the couch. You should be able to rest well because you have to work. If your sleep is disturbed, then your health can also be disrupted. Besides, I'm used to sleeping on the couch." Kania smiled. The girl then took a blanket and pillow from Arya's hand and placed it on the sofa.
Kania then rushed to the bathroom just to clean his body and makeup. Before long, he came out using a negligee.
"Bring me, I'll prepare you some warm milk." Kania then came out, but she was surprised to see Ryan standing at the door of her room.
