The girl repeatedly shed tears that seemed to plunge free from her eyes. The girl's eyes had turned red and looked swollen. Perias who was dressing her up really panicked because he was afraid that the makeup attached to the girl's face would fade. Although already wearing waterproof makeup, but still be wary.


The girl looks so beautiful in a white kebaya, making her tiny body look full.


"Duh, what a beautiful mother's son!"


Ms. Eva, the middle-aged woman immediately approached her daughter who was preparing to hold a marriage contract procession.


"Verda baby, don't cry! It's a wedding, not a funeral!" Ms. Eva patted gently both of Verda's shoulders.


"Mother, I'm not married! I still want to be like my other friends" Verda whined again.


Ms. Eva sighed heavily then wiped Verda's tears with her handkerchief.


"Verda, her name is already a match," said Ms. Eva.


"But Verda is married to Abim because she was betrothed!" luh Verda's.


"Verda, whether to be betrothed or not to be betrothed, her name is definitely not going anywhere" said Ms. Eva.


"Verda, your grandfather really wanted to see his first granddaughter get married, as his last wish. After all your father and Mr. Baskara have promised each other in the past, it's not nice if it's not met" Ms. Eva tried to explain.


I do not know how many times the middle-aged woman explained to her daughter who still could not accept this marriage.


"Sir Verda is so beautiful!" praise Vivie. "Mother, I want to get married too, to be beautiful like Sister Verda."


"Vivie, you're ten years old, don't think about getting married!" sergeant Bu Eva.


"Huuuh," grunted Vivie.


Verda was still gloomy, she was even so heavy to smile when today was her wedding day with Abim.


The wedding day looks like a fairy tale. Decorating the room with shades of white and pink flowers filled the five-star hotel auditorium.


After a very sacred marriage contract, Verda replaced her danger with a pink dress, making her look like a barbie doll.


Praise came from the mouth of every guest who came, congratulating Abim who got a wife so beautiful. Verda had to grin until her teeth were dry.


At that time Verda did not want to disappoint anyone but herself. He was disappointed because of his youth he would go through not being with his peers. He can't fall in love even have a crush like girls his age. He lost the opportunity to enjoy his youth and instead had to be trapped in early marriage with a man he did not love.


Verda's entire extended family was so happy when Verda got married, especially her Grandpa and Grandma. Verda became Grandpa and Grandma's favorite granddaughter because she became the first granddaughter.


Everyone was so happy, except Verda.


Verda wanted the marriage to end as soon as possible.


...*****...


"Well!"


The call of two witnesses ended the marriage contract procession that made Verda aware of her daydream. The marriage contract currently done by Verda is very different from when he married first.


No fancy decorations, no photographers documenting every moment, no family coming, and without the kebaya and makeup that makes Verda reap praise as the most beautiful woman on earth for the man who became her husband.


Verda pinned a white gold ring engraved with the name of the woman who should be the wife of the man who is now her husband. Verda reached out her hand as the man pinned the ring with a tiny diamond engraving the man's name onto Vedra's left ring finger. The ring felt tight on Verda's finger, Verda realized that the ring was indeed not a wedding ring for her.


"Congratulations to both of you who have been authorized as a legal married couple in the eyes of religion and applicable law," mr. Penghulu said after tearing one page from the marriage book signed by the newlyweds.


"Thank you, sir," Verda commented on the friendly smile.


With the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the man beside him who seemed to be mute. Verda stepped out of the wedding hall. He immediately entered Vedra's car, sitting in the front seat while putting on his seat belt.


"Why are you talking like that?" ask Verda towards Vedra.


"I really did not expect, that we have officially become husband and wife this easily," replied Vedra.


"Yes, getting married is easy. The difficult thing is to have that marriage" Verda said.


Vedra was silent, this woman beside him was indeed very experienced. Well, his name also married a widow. 


"Hmm, but our marriage isn't a 'that' kind of marriage, so I don't think it's going to be that hard! Haha," Verda laughed.


"Hmm, yes, you're right" said Vedra.


"Oh, this ring is really tight on my finger! Your ex-wife-to-be is so tiny!" Verda raised her hand into the air.


The man's tone sounded sinister in Verda's ears. Verda took off the ring that felt so stifling her finger.


"It's a rhinestone, huh?" ask Verda.


"That's a zircon stone" Vedra replied.


"Diamond imitation," commented Verda.


"Zircon is a mineral stone with the chemical formula ZrSiO4 zirconium silicate. Diamond is a crystalline form or allotrope of carbon. From the chemical formula alone is clearly different then it can be concluded that Zircon is not an imitation diamond," Vedra explained.


"Oh, wow, you're like Mbah Google just walking!" Verda chuckled while playing the ring in the air.


"Here, I give it back to you" Verda handed the ring to Vedra.


Vedra keeps the ring in his shirt pocket.


"So where are we going? If you take me to a hotel to ask me to make love, I think you're making a big mistake thinking that I want to make love to you!" tukas Verda with confidence.


Vedra rolled her eyeballs as a form of disapproval to Verda.


"'We will visit my parents' house, there will be a wedding reception to be held there" Vedra said.


"'Oh, you mean, your hometown?" ask Verda.


"'Hmm, yes, that's how it is" Vedra replied.


"Well, where's your hometown? Is it far away?" ask Verda.


"If the trip is smooth and there are no meaningful problems, the trip will take about ten hours" Vedra replied.


"What's? Ten hours? That's right!" Verda flabbergasted.


"Is there no plane path?" ask Verda.


"No airport, where do you want to land a plane?" Vedra asked back.


Verda harrumphed, seconds later her phone rang.


"Yes, hello, Vie," Verda replied.


"Sir, I sent you pictures of some beach dresses, there are also sandals, and woven bags, each choose one!" hatch Vivie.


"That's not one, I want a dozen!" sulikan Verda's.


"Yee, if it's a dozen, just ask your sister's husband!" sahut Vivie's. 


"Hmm, yes, I'll ask my husband later," Verda glanced at Vedra who was pecking at the wheel.


"Yes, yes, I really can't wait to meet Jehun who finally married Brother! Be careful not to get your secret wedding caught in the media! Big brother can be a fan of Jehun!" Vivie laughed again.


The woman was really happy to repay her brother's kindness.


"Yes, thank you for your advice! Yes, I want to go to my in-laws' house!" sahut Verda before hanging up.


Vivie laughed out loud.


"What the hell, Vie, are you laughing so bad?" asked Bian who had been watching his wife.


"This is loh, Bi, Verda's sister is getting shy! Confessing to be married to Jehun, now going to his in-laws' house! Haha," Vivie replied still laughing.


"Well, what a pity, Verda, do I need to help you find a mate?" ask Bian.


"Sir Verda is already engaged in arranged marriage, Bian," said Vivie.


"Hmm, but I happen to have information, My boss is looking for a mate, I think it's also good to recommend Verda to my Boss" Bian suggested.


Vivie flicked her shoulders, a sign that she disagreed with Bian's proposal.


"'From Verda's sister asked to refer to her ex-husband, it's better just like my boss" concluded Bian.
