My Husband's Wedding

Egotistical

All eyes looked towards Siska. But the woman tried to hold back the tears and preferred to divert the conversation to Jonathan.

"i'm hungry already. Let's go, Jo, let's eat. Come on, ma'am, ma'am, we're eating together".

Jonathan and Zidan looked at each other, then the man approached Zidan and shook hands as a sign of respect.

"are you Siska's friend?" ask Zidan gently.

Nayla even cuts off the conversation and tells Zidan that Jonathan is the man who once helped her during a cockroach.

"He's a friend of Siska mas.as well as the one who helped me first when the pickpocketing bought bread. What I told you about that time loh mas"

Zidan was silent and remembered the incident a few days ago when Nayla was pickled. The sturdy man's wife came home in tears and Zidan was even slightly shocked when he saw her condition. Zidan thought that something bad had happened to him, and it was true that Nayla had a calamity that fortunately did not make her or her womb hurt.

"oh so you saved my wife Jo? I am so lucky to have met you. I'll give you a gift for your courage"

Jonathan blushed in embarrassment and immediately shook his head slowly, the man did not want to get any reward for the help he had given Nayla. Jonathan did it all out of sincerity.

"Ah, don't bother. I help this child with sincerity. I only do small things, not fight on the battlefield" Jonathan said with a guyonan.

Siska, who was currently in the kitchen, stared at Jonathan, Zidan, and Nayla who were laughing together. Siska wiped away her tears as she remembered Hamdi's wedding invitation in her brother's hands.

Siska can be sincere and willing with the destiny that is there for him and not too hopeful with Hamdi who may come for a while. However, Siska will not forget the service and kindness of the man, because with the help of Hamdi he can get a situation for the abuse case he experienced in the past. And even Hamdi had lost the figure of the person who loved him dearly, Nikita just because she wanted to help seek justice for Siska.

Now everyone seems to be laughing together in the dining room without anyone talking about Hamdi. They knew that Siska might be hurt by the subject, so chose to keep quiet.

But suddenly the question that came out of Siska's mouth managed to make everyone surprised and stunned.

"So, when did Hamdi marry Mas? we have to come in the best clothes, right"

Zidan chokes. Nayla then took a cup of water for her husband and began to give it to him to drink immediately.

"You asked about Ham's marriage.."

"Yes of course. We are the only family he has. It was an important moment in his life and we should have come. Oh yes now there is even Jonathan. we can take him there too"

Jonathan looked towards Siska. Somehow he was saddened by the invitation Siska had made for him.

"Hamdi is getting married next week on the 15th, we can go there if you want. But I don't want you to do anything bad there" Zidan said gently.

Siska laughed crisply, not knowing what to answer to her brother with his unsubstantiated accusations. Siska knows that Zidan may think that he is hurt and unwilling if his former fiancee is married quickly. But Siska has now turned into an independent woman, mature, and also positive-minded. He of course Takan did crazy things in the person who had once been a special figure in his heart.

"Am I that bad in your eyes? do you think I'd be that bad guy and ruin the marriage of someone who obviously gave me and Cleo justice? Mas, I'm your sister.I've learned a lot from the mistakes I've made with you. I'm gonna do something bad in there. I knew I was unfit to be with him and even as someone would judge I wanted to avenge the pain of being married to him. But you know, the positive traits that Nayla gave me, of course, changed my personality. Therefore, please don't think that I'm a bad person"

Zidan was silent, he did not know Siska would turn out like this, and it was as if he did not recognize his sister who did look to have changed in the right direction.

"pardon me, Sis. I didn't mean to say that"

Siska smiled and held her brother's hand gently. The woman has truly become a better figure, who is now more mature, cheerful and also patient. Maybe this is the wisdom he got from the terrible events he had experienced.

*************

Siska walks to the yard to drive Jonathan into his car. Jonathan looks gloomy as usual who often smiles a lot and is also chatty.

Siska, who was aware of the mood changes from Jonathan, asked what the man was thinking. Until the answer from Jonathan began to make him aware.

"You why Jo? Why is your face in a paper-rich bend?"

Jonathan unceremoniously immediately said what stuck in his heart. He did not know how to let Siska know that he loved her very sincerely and wanted to get sweet treatment from Siska also sincerely without a reason.

"I'm sorry if my words might hurt you. But I can't go to that guy's wedding, Sis, because I know you took me there just because you don't want to be sad to see them together. I beg you not to put me on a backrest if you cry for another man.I cannot put on a fake mask saying that I am a friend who will always be there when you are fragile. you know I've liked you for a long time and you've given me a lot of hope..I'm sorry if I can't be the one you can count on. But you should also know that my heart cannot continue to obey the person I clearly love very much. You can make me a friend, but you can't make me an escape"

Siska. It is true that his initial intention to invite Jonathan only wanted to make Naura silent about his accusations that said that Siska was difficult to forget Hamdi. But he also could not make Jonathan tormented with his selfish desires.

"I'm sorry Jo. I'm selfish"
