Sandy has decided to have her wedding with Stella in one month. Actually she proposed to marry one more week, but Stella refused firmly with the threat of 'One month, or not at all' . Eventually Sandy relented and agreed to her marriage to Stella for another month.
Sandy who was struggling with some paper on her desk looked up at Alvin who was standing in front of her.
"I've got what you're telling me, sir." Alvin opened the map in his hand and started to read some of the information he got. "Miss Stella's house is for sale, sir," the first sentence that came out of Alvin's mouth made Sandy startled to straighten her back.
"A few days after Mr. Stella's departure to Germany, the mother of Miss Stella's late husband came to the house intending to borrow money, at which time Miss Stella gave her twenty-five million" Alvin said. "A week later her former father-in-law came back and asked for a home certificate that Miss Stella had occupied as collateral for a loan at the bank."
Sandy's surprised.
"But after successfully carrying the certificate of the house, he returned with the news of selling the house that Miss Stella occupied, because the house was on behalf of Hari, his dead son. She said that Miss Stella was no longer Hari's wife, so she was not entitled to the house."
"And Stella agreed to sell her house" Sandy guessed later.
Alvin nodded, "Miss Stella initially refused, but the last time Miss Stella's late husband's sister visited there, and after that Miss Stella agreed to sell her house."
"Sister?"
"Right, sir, the younger brother of the late Hari, was named Jihan."
Sandy felt like she had heard that name, as a shadow appeared, she remembered the girl who met in front of the mall. 'So she's Hari's real sister. That means what she was talking about back then was Stella's house, her bath. Sandy sighed. "You know what you're gonna do, Vin?" sama later.
Alvin nodded. "Understand me, sir, I'm sorry" he said.
"You're gonna love my surprise, baby," Sandy muttered smilingly.
...***...
During the day, Sandy warns Stella not to take care of her wedding, let Sandy's men work. Sandy just wants Stella to focus and take care of her health. But the truth is that it makes Stella even more frustrating. She wants to step in to prepare for her wedding, Stella wants a simple wedding, not the fancy that Sandy wants.
"Sandy, I don't want the show to be too fancy."
"Why, Honey?"
"Sandy, please, don't overdo it."
Sandy sits next to Stella, clutching her shoulders, stealing a kiss next to her cheek. "Yes, honey, yes, you believe me."
Stella's investigating can't believe it. "You promise?"
"Im promise."
Stella breathed a sigh of relief.
...***...
Stella walks in Aiden's hand and enters the Houten Corp logo on the wall of the lobby, the first time Stella has set foot in Sandy's office. The entire employee stared at him, whispering about it, Stella was really uncomfortable being the center of attention of the entire employee. While waiting for the elevator, suddenly the elevator opens and Alvin appears from inside.
"Miss has arrived?" greet Alvin.
"Yes, Vin."
"Let's send my Miss between," Alvin asked later.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
After getting the approval from inside Alvin opened the door and let Stella and Aiden in.
"Daddy," call Aiden.
Sandy who was struggling with the paper in front of her looked up, then smiled and stood up to Aiden and Stella. Sandy lifts Aiden's body into her arms, kissing Aiden's cheek. "Have you gone home a hotshot?"
"Yes, Dad," Aiden replied, wrapping his hand around Sandy's neck.
Stella smiled at the familiarity of the two.
Sandy turns to stare at Stella and approaches her while still holding Aiden, landing a kiss on her forehead.
"Your job is done?" ask Stella.
"A little while."
Sandy took Aiden's body down. "Please wait a minute, I'll finish it soon."
Stella nodded and took Aiden to sit on the sofa.
Aiden continued to babble beside Stella, talking about school activities and friends.
While struggling with her documents, Sandy occasionally glances at Stella and Aiden, smiling at her son being very happy with Stella. And also Stella who is happy to hear and answer questions from Aiden. He can't wait another month.
"Come on," Sandy asked when the job was done.
Aiden jumped in Sandy's arms.
All three became the center of attention of all employees, actually Stella was a bit embarrassed because Sandy held her hand. A few whispers dropped in Stella's ear.
"That's his future wife, Mr. Sandy, so pretty?"
"Eh, she said she was a widow, you know."
"Ah, cook, but don't look like a widow, do you?"
"It's still clear."
"They fit, yes, handsome plus beautiful."
"Aiden's getting hotter, yeah, now."
Sandy walked without caring about the babble of her employees, while Stella had held her shame from entering the building.
...***...
All three are in one of the boutiques to do clothes fittings, actually Stella has thought about the design of the clothes that will be worn by her, she wants to make her own. But, yes, there you have it, Sandy keukeh so that Stella does not need to be tired of taking care, it is better to buy it at the designer.
Nearly an hour into choosing clothes for a wedding, they finally found a dress that matched Stella. For men, it's easy, a shirt and a suit. Another with women, and do not forget Sandy who always protested and rejected the dress that Stella chose because it showed her curves, —according to her observation.
Looks like Aiden was so exhausted that he fell asleep after going from the boutique to fittings. Stella carries Aiden's body in her boutique room.
Stella brought coffee for Sandy who was sitting on the sofa. "It looks like Aiden is very tired" he said, taking a seat beside Sandy.
Sandy just nodded. Take a cup of coffee and sip it a little. "Stella I want to talk."
"Yes?"
"Is there something you're hiding from me?" sandy ignored the surprise of his interlocutor.
Stella jerks. "Ti-nothing," he suddenly got nervous.
Sandy pulled Stella's fingers, grasping them tightly. "You know we're getting married soon."
Stella nodded doubtfully, her heart was already pounding violently, she felt Sandy was interrogating her.
"I hope there's nothing to hide between us, Ste. I want us to be open to each other, tell the smallest thing, I do not want between us to hold our own problems faced, whether it is big or small. I want us to stay together, face everything, not cover each other."
Tests.
Stella's tears suddenly dripped upon hearing Sandy's words, and she removed them immediately.
Sandy stared at Stella. "What's up, hem?"
Stella closed her mouth tightly, then shook her head, but her tears poured out uncontrollably.
Sandy rubbed Stella's cheek. "I love you" he said.
Stella's tears spilled again, she threw her body in the warm embrace of her future husband. Spilling the pain that he had been holding alone, he needed someone to cover his pain, and he felt that only Sandy was able to do that. "I'm sorry" she said slowly.
Sandy rubbed Stella's trembling back.
Stella repeatedly apologized in her tears. After her crying subsided, Stella pulled herself up to look at the man before her who was smiling in the shade as if accepting all her pain.
Sandy frames Stella's face, kissing both of her eyelids. "I know everything" he said.
Stella gasps.
"What can I do for you, Ste?" Sandy's soft voice made Stella's heart rustle. "Should I teach those who make you cry every night?" bargained for. "Do I have to bring this matter to justice?" conditions for threats.
Stella shakes. "No. Don't do anything, I've done it."
"You sure?"
Stella nodded. "Yes" he answered half-heartedly. "I think it's time to forget the past with the late Rafa and Mas Hari" he added with a bitter smile.
Sandy again framed Stella's face. "The past is not to be forgotten, Ste, but to be made into memories and lessons to come."
Stella touched Sandy's fingers on her face. "I know" he said smiling.
Sandy smiled as the pain of the woman before her faded. He rubbed both cheeks of Stella then slowly kissed the symmetrical triangle gently. No longer a kiss that demands each other, just a soft light touch that is able to push the passion of love that is slowly getting nurtured and growing beautifully.
Although only a light touch that longs for each other, but it still makes something in Sandy want to explode. He had to stop it immediately before the explosion caused embers.
Sandy pulls away, removing the remaining fondling on Stella's lips. "It's late at night I'd better take Aiden home" he said.
"Let Aiden here, you go home" suggested Stella.
Sandy thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
Stella delivers Sandy to the boutique door.
"Don't forget the door locks, the windows. Don't open the door if anyone knocks, I'll be here in the morning" Sandy said. "Directly call if there is anything," he added.
Stella smiles. "Yes." Yeah."
Sandy kissed Stella. "Come in."
Stella nodded. "Be careful, let me know when you get home."
Sandy nodded. He quickly got into the car after making sure Stella had closed and locked the door.
