"Wish him the best. I know you must be surprised and feel very lost, because of your closeness all this time. Hopefully there he can find his happiness too."
Ardi calmed Alya who was still shedding tears. The woman who had become his wife looked so sad as she stared at Rendy's departure, until her figure disappeared from their sight.
The man was deliberately alone when all the guests had gone home. At least when Alya became sad like this, there were no more guests who saw him. Only the Yoga family is still seen mingling with the Ardi and Alya families.
Ardi led his wife to sit back and gave her a glass of water. Alya finished half of the contents then placed the glass on a small table on the edge of the coating.
"I'm sorry, Di. I'm sorry if I hurt your heart with this sadness. But ...." Ardi shook his head and stopped his wife's words.
"Stt ...! I can understand that, Al. Don't feel guilty about all this" he said, wiping Alya's tears with his fingers.
Alya closed her eyes, feeling that gentle touch on her face. Sadness mixed with fear, because Ardi's touch again still makes him remember something bad that he often experienced from Riko. But he kept trying to brush off the ugly shadow.
"He must have left because of me. I-i know him. Since long ago such an offer was always rejected because he did not want to go far from me. Suddenly he decided to make that choice. She must have been disappointed and very hurt because of me ...."
Ardi thought the same thing with Alya. Loving without a reply is painful. But staying nearby and seeing a loved one happy with another, must be much more painful and add to the pain of the wound in the heart.
"He'll be fine there, Al. As time went on, he would gradually be able to heal himself. He's a good guy. God will give him many good things."
Alya nodded and started to be able to smile again. He did not want to linger so late in grief. Especially on the happy day of her marriage to Ardi, the only man she has loved so far.
Seeing Alya already looks calm, Yoga invites all his extended family to visit the temple. With them were Father, Mother, Indra and Rizka as well as their beautiful Inca baby.
While Gana is carried by Yoga, Raga and Aura walk alone under Nara's supervision. The two little boys who were adrift by the age of two years, had continued to run and play together cheerfully.
After congratulating them, they took turns to do a photo shoot with the bride who was filled with happiness. After her parents and sister returned to their seats, Yoga and her small family positioned themselves next to Ardi and Alya to be photographed by several photographers.
Raga and Aura stood at the front in style at will. They joined hands cheerfully. Even occasionally Raga embraced Aura affectionately. Funny and innocent behavior both make their parents laugh freely together.

"Honey, the day after tomorrow I have to go to Mahen Land. There's an annual meeting with some companies that we've been working with for a long time." Yoga came out of the bathroom in the clothes of the house that had been prepared by the wife.
After putting Raga and Gana to sleep exhausted after a day at Ardi and Alya's house, Yoga and Nara cleaned themselves and changed clothes.
"Can I help you prepare for what you have to bring, Mom?" nara asked with a gaze that was still fixed on the vanity mirror in front of her. The woman was cleaning up the rest of the makeup on her beautiful face.
"No, Honey. There Beno prepared everything well. I just need to come and see the guests who will be present."
Yoga approached and bowed and hugged his wife from behind. She placed a warm kiss on the tip of the head and down on Nara's cheeks, to bring up a red tinge on the part of the face that had been plain without the makeup.
Nara is still continuing her busy life while Yoga has let go of her short hug. He took out a comb then attentively untied Nara's long hair that was still lying on the back. Slowly and carefully, the family's loving man began to comb Nara's jet-black crown and tidied it lovingly.
From the reflection of the reflection in the mirror, Nara seemed to smile happily watching what the husband was doing. Every now and then their eyes meet as they look in the mirror together, then release a loving smile.
Nara raised her right hand and grabbed the face of Yoga for her dearly. Seen by him, the man closed his eyes and slightly turned to kiss the palm of the wife who was still touching the surface of her face. Nara's heart was filled with newness.
"Your simple way in fact makes me even more lethargic in comfort and finally this heart can no longer turn away from you. You're everything to me, Mom. I love you so much."
Nara takes the comb from Yoga's hand and puts it on the table. Then he stood up and turned around and slid into the arms of his beloved man. Although surprised, the man immediately replied to her.
Hugged tightly to the body of his beloved woman. Yoga rubbed Nara's head with a lot of prayers that just climbed up every time they hugged. For some reason, he hesitated to go to his hometown and leave Nara with their two proud sons.
"Darling, what's wrong?" ask Yoga. His hands hugged his wife when he felt her body move slowly, crying sobbing.
"I don't know, Mom. Suddenly my feelings are not good. Let it be like this until my heart feels better." pinta Nara in a soft voice, while comforting her embrace. She was still trying to ease the crying so as not to make her husband even more anxious.
Yoga was increasingly worried when he heard Nara's words that seemed to agree with the feeling that had just been inserted in the recesses of her heart. The tighter his embrace, the more the sense of it perched in his heart. There was something as if it was against his must to leave for another two days.
"Didn't you want me to go? If you ask, I'll cancel the day after tomorrow. I'll stay here if it calms you down, honey."
Nara didn't want to say anything, only getting more hugs. What he really felt, the woman did not understand. She chose silence, without answering her husband's questions.
"We should rest with the kids. Maybe we are just as tired as them, so the mind also becomes unsettled" said Yoga as he stretched their arms.
Nara nodded and revealed a small smile on her sweet lips. Yoga kisses the wife's forehead before they get on the bed, and momentarily melts themselves with the two children.
