My future husband was taken by my sister

Like a stranger

Jelita chose not to join the others. He was sitting in one of the chairs that many people did not pass through. On stage , the couple smiled so sweetly , greeting every guest who congratulated.

" I heard that the bride is not actually him. Right is not, anyway ? " ask a mother to her friend. They sat behind Jelita, so Jelita could hear so clearly whatever their chatter was.

" Yes, in his invitation was written the name of his bride Jelita. She was the eldest daughter in Pak Andi's family, "his friend's timpal glanced at Jelita

" Pity that girl too. Did something happen until the bride was changed, huh ? " 

" It must be like that. You must have also heard that Mr. Andi's first child was an unlucky carrier. Mom just died trying to save him,"

" Yes, I've heard that too."

Jelita clenched her hands. He did not know these people, could they not be silent rather than talking that would hurt others ? The two women continued to talk about all the ugly things about him.

The girl could not stand it anymore, Jelita stood up and approached them. The two women were surprised. However, trying to look ordinary to maintain his pride.

" I'm sorry, Bu. You have children, right ? Don't you think what if your son is in my position ? I also have a heart so don't talk carelessly" Jelita said slowly. But , full of emphasis.

" Heh, never equate my son with you ! My son is much better than you. He has always been my pride all along. Different from you who is just a sly. I have never heard Mr. Andi praise you either. Don't praise you, just say your name he never did. What she's been talking about all this time is always Mila."

" Yes, right. Where might Mr. Andi want to praise you. You're just a self-knowing kid and a fucking bearer ! "

Jelita who could not resist immediately doused the two women with a drink on the table. Both of them shouted to make the guests look towards them.

" Jelita ! " a scream from a man made Jelita freeze.

" Look at your daughter, Mr. Andi . He really doesn't know manners. How dare he water us who come to give blessing to your other children," said the woman when Pak Andi was close to them.

" I'm sorry my daughter, Mom," Mr. Andi told them. "What are you doing ? Hurry and apologize to them ! " the wrath of Mr. Andi on Jelita.

" Dear what ? You must have just made it there. You just want to destroy Mila's party. You're jealous that Mila married Dion and threw this fancy party. Right, right ? " shouted Mama Riska with an angry look

" Right, Bu Riska. We were just admiring this party, but she came and got angry with us" Mother said.

Jelita shook her head. Obviously the woman insulted him, but with determination she turned the facts upside down. No matter how hard the girl explains, no one will believe her, including her own Papa.

" Jelita, you better take care of your attitude. Papa asked you to come here so that others do not think badly about Papa abandoning you, but it seems Papa's decision was wrong," said Pak Andi made Jelita's heart more sick.

" Is that how bad I am in Papa's eyes ? Isn't there the slightest bit of trust in your daughter ? " said Jelita while looking at Mr. Andi

" I've told Papa so many times. Don't ask him to come. His presence will only be a problem. Wherever she is , surely there will be disaster " said Mama Riska.

" Ma, I'm not like that. I'm not making any trouble at all. Those who insulted me first. Please believe me,"

" Jelita ! " snaps Papa. "You should go home right now ! "

Silent...

No one is talking. A drop of tears fell down Jelita's cheek, immediately the girl wiped it off. He did not want to look weak, let alone in front of everyone.

" From the beginning I didn't want to come here, but Papa was pushy. If I came just for expulsion, there should be no need to contact me or ask me to come. Especially when all the families wear the same clothes while I don't. Am I not a stranger in my own family ? "

Jelita laughed as if she was saying funny, but everyone could see there was a deep sadness that the girl felt. He rubbed his fallen tears and confirmed his appearance to look good.

" Thank you for the invitation. I apologize for coming as an unexpected guest. Thank you for the drink, I'm sorry," Jelita slightly lowered her head and passed away leaving the building.
