Reya goes into the cafe, looking for the whereabouts of someone who invites her to meet here. Upon seeing the person Reya approached and pulled up a chair to sit face to face.
”Reya, sorry that Auntie brought you here. Though we should not have to meet again like Gara's request, but Auntie came not because to ask Gara news."
Mama Gara took something from her bag then put it on the table.
"Next week Aunt married, Auntie hope you and your family can come yes. The event is not big, only for close relatives and some outsiders. It's also Aunt's second wedding anyway, so it's kind of weird to be so festive."
What Steven said is true. The more here Reya added to feel that his living environment is very narrow. Where Steven and Gara will soon be brothers. Arkan and Gabriel are cousins.
"Reya not sure will be able to take Gara there or not. But Reya will be coming, congratulations on Aunt's wedding. Hopefully this time the choice of Aunt is right and will not end again like yesterday."
Mama Gara smiled. "Thank you for the prayer, Auntie is waiting for your presence there. Don't bring any gifts, your arrival is more than enough for Auntie."
"Reya will try to talk to everyone at home. Aunt don't think, Reya will try her best. For now, Auntie is quite focused on wedding preparations alone."
"Yes, Rey. Aunt always thanks you very much. Oh yes Auntie there is still work to be done. Aunty paid first yes, you spend aja food, already paid for all kok do not worry.”
"Be careful on the road, Tan."
Mama Gara left Reya alone. He stared at the invitation he had in his hand at the moment, wondering. What will be the reaction of Gara after seeing the invitation.
Do not want to waste more time, the day is also late afternoon and the weather is cloudy. Reya gets out of the cafe and runs into someone who shouldn't have to meet her here.
"Reya, are you here alone?" ask Arkan.
Reya glanced at the neat-looking beautiful woman who was next to her. "Same as Mama Gara, but already went home first. I'm going home too."
"Oh, don't you want to be with brother? We can talk inside, we haven't talked in a long time either."
Reya glanced once again at the woman next to Arkan who looked uncomfortable with Reya's whereabouts.
"Other times, brother. Now that you have a friend, maybe there is something important you want to discuss. I don't want to be a bully, I want it to rain too. Excuse me first, brother."
Reya hurriedly stepped in before Arkan prevented himself.
It turns out that in addition to not feeling the longing for Arkan, Reya also did not feel jealous when he saw Arkan with other women. It's certain that Reya's feelings for Arkan are over, right?"

At dinner, Reya hesitates to hand over the invitation to her mother.
"Last afternoon I met Mama Gara, it was her wedding invitation. He'll get married next week and invite us all to go there."
Gara who was originally eating quietly immediately glanced towards Reya.
"I don't think you're stubborn, but you're deaf. Why are you still in touch when I have forbidden you not to see him again." For snapping.
"Howdy!" reproof Papa. "It's not Reya's fault, she went to your mama for not feeling the heart and feeling hesitant to refuse. Don't talk in a high tone anymore, whatever it is when Mama and Papa are here."
Reya let out a sigh of relief as there were still people defending her.
"How not to come there, even if Mama and Papa want to go there. Why Gara came to see him marry someone else. Though he himself used to say, if the family will only hinder his work. Why did everything change and decided to get married again. Is she not afraid of having children and should be hidden from the public?" ask Gara.
Her words sounded very evil, but Gara's eyes were now almost glazed over.
"Gar, everyone can change over time. So also with Mama lo who increasingly can think logically. Maybe you finally realize, if life itself is not fun at all. Even Mama you are not ashamed to talk to you in front of many people. He's not at all afraid that the public will know Mama lo has a son."
"Lo don't be so clueless, Re. He is because he is not as famous as before. He is old and not many people are fans of him anymore. I have no idea what process I went through. You think everything's easy? For me to come to her wedding and see her happy there?"
"Gara, get into your room. Papa thought that from earlier you have been very late. Anyway Reya is your sister, you shouldn't be talking rough like people don't have that manners."
"That doesn't have it, Pa. Since I was a child I have never been taught that by someone I call Mama. He was too busy working until his son grew up like this."
He got up from his sitting position and walked out of the dining room.
Reya is upset with Gara, but she knows that the guy is hurt.
"Reya, sorry for all the words that you said. He can't control his emotions anymore so that's how it is."
"It's okay, Pa. Reya understands that all this is still very difficult to accept by Gara. But I hope Papa isn't too hard on him either. Fearful of thinking that no one loves him here."
"It was hard to talk to Gara. What Papa said is also still very often disputed. But Papa knows that he is always lonely and needs a mother figure as well as family. So when Papa said he wanted to get married again, he did not protest at all. Because he just said, he will be happy as long as his father is happy. But after meeting her mother again, Gara instead returned to the way she used to be. Easy to be emotional and very difficult to manage."
"Reva, Pa. Let Mama say the same because. Maybe he really needs some advice from Mom. Mama will talk to Gara, you two don't go to the second floor first."
"Reya agrees, Mama must be more able to calm Gara."
Mama immediately went to the room, while Reya and Papa Gara continued eating even though they were not tasteful.
Hopefully Gara can indeed be persuaded, even if he does not want to come to his mother's wedding. At least Gara still wants to talk to Reya the next day.
