"Yeah, Ella. Are you really married?" maira and Naya exclaim, while reading an invitation letter from Ella.
"No idea, deh. You and Ethan have been dating for three years" says Naya.
"I didn't expect it either. May he be my soul mate until the end of my life" Ella said.
"Aamiin," said Naya and Maira compact.
"Great for your future husband, yes. Last year I graduated as a nutritionist. This year marry you. Then the next year graduation in law majors," said Maira.
"I just don't understand, how can my future husband go to college in two different majors? It's good, too" Ella said with a laugh. Despite dating for three years, Ella is still amazed at Ethan. In a few days, the man will be her husband.
"Great son of you, not yet graduation has been applied. When do I have a baby?" said Naya.
"You're not chasing my dad anymore, are you?" sindir Ella while laughing mischievously.
"Duh Ella, you don't make me ashamed. I remember when I used to have a crush on your father. That was, my time in High School. I don't want to have a stepdaughter like you" Naya said with a flushed face.
"Hahaha, yes you guys used to know too, right? If I had a crush on him. Thankfully, I was quick to repent. If you want it again, I'm really embarrassed," said Ella who was embarrassed to admit, if she had liked her future stepfather.
"I'm happy you can move on from Om Albert. Even you find a better guy" said Naya and Maira.
"Yes, I'm very grateful that Ethan and his family accept our family situation as it is" Ella said.
"You invited Daniel and Imelda too?" ask Maira.
"Yes, dong. They were friends at High School. I also invited our classmates to High School, really," Ella said.
"Well, we're reunion, dong. Duh, I can't wait to see you wear a wedding dress" said Naya and Maira.
...🥀🥀🥀...
A week later, Ella's wedding day. The atmosphere of the hotel in Bali, has changed like a fairy tale palace. The guests began to arrive.
"Imelda," cried Naya, calling her two high school friends.
"Well, I miss you both" said Imelda, who had just finished her studies outside the city.
"we're also missing" Maira and Naya said, embracing Imelda.
"Hey, did you guys forget that there was me?" Daniel stood by the women. The man who has finished his studies abroad, is pioneering his own business.
"Gosh, Daniel. Since when are you there?" naya was surprised.
"I've been since, you know. You embrace in front of me. It's a guy, and I came alone" said Daniel.
"Acrab doesn't mean you like each other. I'm the same Ella is just a friend, really. I'm closer to Albert, because I often play together" replied Daniel.
A few moments later, the groom came. His good looks drugged the female invited guests.
Marriage also goes on solemnly. Ella's uncle as her guardian, representing Ella's deceased father.
Albert, the stepfather, sat down with a nervous-looking Ghina. Their little son, Noel, sits sweetly beside Ghina. No one realized that the handsome boy was Ghina and Albert's foster child.
The moment when Ella first shook her head and bowed her head before her husband, also made the guests touched. Ethan kissed his wife's forehead shyly.
Ghina uttered hugging her daughter with tears unraveling, speechless. He could not hide his haru and happy feelings, seeing his daughter get married. The sungkeman event also turned into a happy cry.
Ella returned her mother's embrace. "Thank you for taking care of me, educating me until I become successful" Ella whispered amid her sobs.
"Together, Son. Thank you for being such a kind and patient child, in a time when our lives are hard" Ghina replied in a stammer. "From now on, you must obey your husband. Your in-laws are your parents, respect them" Ghina advised.
"Yes, Ma."
Ella moved too. He was in front of Albert. The man he used to love before he became his father.
Ella and Albert were both silent. They can't tell each other's hearts. Albert still did not expect, the little girl whom he had always loved as a child, had married the man of his choice.
Of course Albert was happy. Ella picked the right companion. But Albert does not know how to express his feelings. Only a smile on his face could describe his heart.
"Thank you, Dad" Ella whispered. Those were the only words that could come out of Ella's lips.
"Together, Son. Your late father must have been happy to see you happy" Albert replied.
...🥀🥀🥀...
The party is going on. All of Albert and Ghina's business colleagues were invited. Some of them come from abroad.
"Ella. Congratulations, yes." Imelda, Naya and Maira take turns hugging Ella and congratulating her.
"Thank you" said Ella who was wearing a wedding dress. The girl chose the traditional Javanese kebaya, which was modified into a beautiful dress.
"Thank you for coming. I heard you were a close friend of Ella's" Ethan told Daniel.
"Congratulations, yes. You have chosen the right woman. Ella is my best friend. I'm sure you can take care of him" Daniel said sincerely.
Ghina and Albert watched their happy daughter while talking to guests.
