The man tapped his finger on the wheel. Many times he looked at the entrance of a bank. As soon as the figure of a woman came out, the man immediately came out of his car and approached the woman.


"Silvia!"


The woman stopped her steps because the man blocked her path.


"Silvia, I want to talk to you" said the man.


"Ved, I don't think there's anything we need to talk about anymore" Silvia said.


Vedra sighed heavily, still looking at Silvia who threw her gaze away from Vedra.


"Silvia, is the prophecy just an excuse to unilaterally break our relationship for the sake of another man?" ask Vedra.


"What?!" Silvia turned towards Vedra.


Silvia was completely shocked to hear the accusations from Vedra. Silvia turned her head, looking at the security guard who was watching her. It doesn't taste good if it causes problems.


"Well, Ved, let's talk somewhere else" Silvia said.


...*****...


Vedra and Silvia immediately sat at one of the empty food court tables in one of the shopping centers in Plaza C. Its location which happens to be close to where Silvia works makes them often visit the place to eat.


"Silvia, I'll order food, what do you want to eat?" ask Vedra.


"No, Ved, I don't think now is the right time to eat" replied Silvia coldly.


"All right, then, what do you want to drink? I'll order it for you" said Vedra.


"Ved, I'm in a hurry," Silvia firmly refused.


"Hurrying?" ask Vedra. "Are you in a hurry because you already have an appointment with that guy?"


"Vedra!" sergeant Silvia.


"Silvia, who's that guy? Was that man the one who made you finally unilaterally cancel our wedding plans?"


Silvia could have guessed that the man Vedra meant must be the man whose photo Silvia uploaded on her social media account.


"Wood is my cousin, Ved" replied Silvia.


"Cousin?" ask Vedra.


"Yes, she's my cousin and a while ago we met at a family event" Silvia replied.


Vedra's view still looks full of probes.


"Vedra, I don't think you have the right to need to know about me anymore, who I met and who I met! We don't have any relationship anymore!" silvia is cold and firm.


"Silvia, how many times do I have to tell you, I didn't accept our marriage annulment decision just because of a ridiculous prophecy!" sergeant Vedra.


Silvia heaved a heavy sigh while looking at Vedra's face which now seemed to put on an annoyed expression when usually the man always displayed an expressionless face.


"Silvia, please be honest with me, what exactly made you take this unilateral decision?" ask Vedra.


Silvia was silent, she looked down deeply. I don't know how to convince Vedra to accept this bitter reality with a chest of air.


"Vedra, please don't feel like the one who suffers the most! I feel the same as you! I suffered so much, Ved, I still can't believe that the relationship we've been building, all the dreams we've dreamed of together, is now just a discourse!"


Vedra sighed, Silvia looked so hurt.


"Well, Vedra?"


The greeting of someone makes Vedra set his gaze on the person who calls his name. Vedra was flabbergasted to see Ican and Verda approaching the table where she was sitting.


"Geez, I didn't think we could meet at this place!" Ican grinned, setting his gaze on the woman sitting before Vedra.


"Ican, Verda, what are you doing here?" ask Vedra.


"We want a reflexology massage" Verda replied quickly.


Vedra's brows furrowed while the Ican gawked at Verda's reply.


"Verda," Ican glared.


"Yes, this is a place to eat, yes we want to eat dong here," Verda throbbed.


"Oh yeah, Ved, by the way you don't want to introduce your wife?" ask Ican.


Silvia was stunned, she felt sad because everyone who knew Vedra must have thought that she was Vedra's wife, considering they were indeed almost married.


"Well, your wife is so beautiful and sweet! How do you want you, Vedra? In the pellets, huh? Hihi," Ican chuckled.


Silvia reviewed her heavy smile. Meanwhile Verda glared horror at Ican unwittingly by the man. The words of Ican as if mocking Verda who incidentally is the wife of Vedra.


"Ved, I thought you were on your honeymoon where it was, we met here instead!" cerocos Ican again.


Degs..


Silvia's heart stopped beating.


A honeymoon? Inner Silvia while staring at Vedra.


Silvia directed her gaze at Vedra's hand, a circular ring on the man's right ring finger.  Silvia clearly recognized the ring because she and Vedra chose their own wedding rings. If the ring is worn by Vedra, it means Vedra is married.


Silvia's heart rumbled, there was a sense of disappointment thrashing in her heart. Vedra tells her not to accept the annulment of their marriage but that the man is married.


"Please continue your conversation, excuse me" Silvia grabbed her handbag and moved out of her chair.


Silvia hurried away after saying goodbye.


"You two please continue," Vedra moved from her seat.


"Oh, o-okay," Ican stammered.


Vedra hurried after Silvia. Their conversation is not even over.


"Ihiy, the romance is yes, the newlyweds, the world feels like it belongs to both," Ican said.


"So you're jealous, Can?" ask Verda.


"Yes clear! Such a Vedra alone can have such a beautiful and sweet wife! Must have used that pellet, Vedra! I have to ask which shaman he went to!" cerocos.


"Ahaha," Verda laughed again but Verda's laughter sounded mocking.


"What the hell, Verda, your laughs sound really bad," Ican grumbled.


"Are you sure that woman is Vedra's wife?" verda asked while commenting on the mysterious smile.


"Verda, you don't have to pretend to be blind! You see for yourself, Vedra immediately followed his wife so!" Ican Sahut. 


"Oh, I see, so you think Vedra's wife is very pretty?" ask Verda.


"Yes, Vedra's wife is beautiful and sweet! Really type!" sahut Ican enthusiast.


"What about me? Am I not beautiful and sweet?" ask Verda.


"Verda, you're gorgeous!" answer Ican.


...*****...


"Silvia! Wait!" Vedra half ran after Silvia's steps.


Silvia ignored Vedra's call. There was a sense of disappointment that Silvia could not resist. Vedra immediately stopped Silvia's steps.


"Ved, are you really married?" ask Silvia.


Vedra did not immediately reply, her throat felt choked. But Silvia's gaze demanded Vedra's reply.


"Yes, I'm married" Vedra replied briefly.


Silvia was devastated to hear Vedra's confession that really surprised her.


"What a good one, Ved! You're accusing me of canceling our marriage because of another man, while you're married!" sergeant Silvia.


"Silvia, I can explain all this!" said Vedra.


"No, Ved, you don't have to explain anything to me! Everything is clear to me! All the predictions proved true, that you turned out to be a jerk!" furious Silvia.


Silvia jerked Vedra's hand which was holding her back to leave. Silvia immediately rushed to leave Vedra who was fixated on staring at Silvia's departure without having a chance to explain anything.
