Happy reading. . .
By Sunday night, at 07:00, Lisa's extended family and Rahardian's extended family were in a large hall that had been decorated so luxuriously, with blue and white color options.
Six girls in light blue dresses and six young men stood in rows and faced each other, in front of the door of the towering hall.
When the door of the hall opened, there appeared a beautiful woman in a beautiful wedding dress. All the eyes that looked at the woman were astonished by her beauty. Arifin Christo Rahardian. The man was so fascinated by the beauty of his wife, Melisa Aulia Cahyani. Wasn't it! She is no longer Melisa Aulia Cahyani, but Melisa Aulia Rahardian.
The title was already valid in Lisa's cage because she and Arifin had officially become a couple. Their wedding ceremony was held in a cathedral church in Jakarta this afternoon and their wedding was very solemn.
Tonight is the reception.
The tone of the piano that Mira played began to sound. Mira does not need special training to serve as a bridesmaid through the piano because since she was a child, she has lived with music.
His father Martin Pesik was not a musician. But the man's knowledge and talent was worth that of a country musician. And the talent that his father has also decreased in Mira.
Lisa walked slowly but gracefully, towards the pelaminan. Every now and then the woman throws a smile at the guests present at her wedding reception.
While in the fold, Arifin held out her hand, grabbing it so that Lisa could easily stand next to her. Everyone who saw the couple also widened their lips to form a smile, a smile that was meant to pray for their happiness.
Two hours later, Lisa and Arifin's wedding reception was over. The invitees have gone home, the remaining big family of both and also Mira. Everyone would stay at the hotel because they were too tired. It will also be too troublesome if you have to return to the midnight house when their energy has been drained since a few days ago to take care of this wedding. Because it's a better stay.
After changing into more casual clothes, Lisa asks for time to talk to Mira. Just briefly. Just sec.
Curiosity about her best friend's problem has made Lisa make her determination to meet with Mira.
Lisa's pounding. "I want to meet Mira. Let me meet him. Just for a second. Fifteen minutes or maybe twenty." asked Lisa.
"Are you crazy? How could you leave when we're going to do the first night." grumbled Arifin.
"I won't be long. Please, let me. There's something I need to ask Mira. Don't worry, I won't run away, if that's what you're afraid of."
Arifin thought for a moment."Well," said Arifin. "I give you fifteen minutes. No less no more."
Right after the conditional approval came out, quickly Lisa walked out of the room towards the hotel lounge bar.
Here they are, in the hotel lounge bar.
Mira looked down at the empty glass. He had drunk a few glasses of wine, but he was not aware of it at all.
"Hey, stop drinking if you don't want to get drunk" Lisa said as she approached Mira at the bar table. "You're not an expert at drinking that kind of drink."
Mira. "I'm fine - fine. By the way, congratulations on your marriage. I'm happy for you." said Mira sincerely. But the next second the woman's face turned grim. "However," he continued. "whether simultaneously I envy you as well. You're finally married. And you finally got rid of the old maiden title."
Lisa exhaled an annoyed breath. Not annoyed by the words Mira said, but upset at the fate of her love. "Whatchu mean? I am the one who envies you. You still have freedom. You still have the chance to marry the person you love and love. It's not like I'm stuck in this fucking marriage."
Mira sighs. "If it could. Suppose that... But now all that is just nonsense. Marry the man you love and love, who?" Suddenly tears returned to wet Mira's cheeks.
"God! Did something happen between you and Dion?" ask Lisa full of questions.
"We broke up. Ah, no. Not broken. I was more precisely dumped."
Lisa's eyes were wide. "What's? That jerk guy, how dare he do that to you" he said grumpily.
"How did that happen? Is that why your eyes were swollen yesterday?" ask Lisa again. A curious expression loomed on the woman's face.
"I'm a stupid woman. How could I be so blind as not to expect it?"
"Whatchu mean? Did you guys fight?"
"No. Not this time. Maybe he's tired of me." Mira's face grew even more blurry. "She has another lover, and they're getting married soon."
Lisa looked at Mira fixedly. "If he leaves you, he's the fool, not you. And actually she doesn't deserve a good woman like you."
"I really think our relationship will work because we've been together for six years. But the truth..."
"That's it. Don't be sad anymore. You must be strong. But more than that you should forget him. He doesn't deserve your love."
Mira looked up at Lisa's serious face. "It should be so. Yes.yes...of course! I had to forget it." said Mira but in his heart he asked if he could do it?
"alright. I honestly can't stay here long. It's not the right time for me to entertain you. And this, this isn't the right outlet for your grief either." Lisa meets a bottle of wine at the bar table in front of Mira. "So, we better get back to the room" Lisa said again. Now the woman looked a little agitated.
"Go first. Anyway we're not roommates, so there's no need to go together."
"How could I leave you here alone, under these circumstances?"
"I'm okay - what. Go awayl. Your husband must have been waiting for you."
"But..."
"Cashy. I told you I'm okay. Don'worry. Look, I can still stand up straight." said Mira while proving her words. Strange it feels to get his body can still be in good shape - fine after drinking the hot drink.
"Please promise me that."
"Geez, you're still the way you used to be, childish."
"If you don't want to promise, let's go together now."
"All right, I promise. I won't stay here long. I have to work tomorrow anyway. So after spending this, I will go straight back to the room." Mira said in a reassuring tone of voice. "You go first and do your duty as a wife. Give her the best service so she doesn't cheat like..."
"Stop. How can I go if you're like this." Lisa grumbled. "You're probably drunk, Mira."
"sorry. I'm fine, really." said Mira firmly. "I'm not drunk, Lisa. So you can go now." she continued, pushing Lisa's body a little.
"All right then. See you tomorrow." There is always confidence in Lisa's heart when her best friend Mira has made a promise. Mira always kept her promise.
After Lisa left, Mira sat down again and filled her empty glass.
Mira is happy for Lisa, even though she knows her best friend's marriage is because of an arranged marriage, not because of love. Mira believes that one day the love between them will grow. At least now one of them has had that love. But most important of all, Lisa now has Arifin as a companion, as a friend and life companion. Not like he is alone now. Alone at the age of twenty-seven. Alone in the middle of the city of Jakarta.
Mira returned to drink.
Her best friend's wedding leaves a vacuum on Mira. If he hadn't broken up, if he had been with Dion, there would definitely not be a vacuum in his life right now. However, once again reality dawned on him that his relationship with the man was over. The painful truth.
He just needs to start again, Mira thought. But with whom? It won't be hard for him to start. She's a woman who can quickly love someone and give her whole heart. However, she was also a woman who was too hard to forget someone who was already in her heart.
Now he needs a replacement or a new lover to make him forget the sadness and wounds of his love relationship that was destroyed. But then again, who?
There was no way he could have declared so blatantly - the light that now he was looking for a lover or a future husband. And it is also impossible for him to ask his family or his friends to help him find a mate. It was stupid and embarrassing.
The only thing he can do now is hope that there will be a good man present to fill the vacuum in his life. But can he hope like that?
