"Aunt May, where's my mom?" I asked politely trying to hold tightness in the chest.
"Humph," He turned his face away from me."Do you think your mama would still see a shameless child like you?"
Deep down I wish Mama would bless this marriage.
"Where is my Mama, Auntie? The show's about to start and I have to get off with my mama."
"Keep dreaming because your mother will not accompany you down. To her you are no different from a traitor, framing your own sister's future husband and now successfully marrying him! Rain, you're so outrageous!" Aunt May isn't lying, I know.
"I don't know what Almira would say if she found out about all your rotten plans. Ck, Almira and Deon are so unfortunate to meet you unlucky child!" And,
Brakes
Aunt Mei shut the door of my room loudly after spouting insults at me. It hurts, even on a happy day I still feel pain.
"But it's okay, I can eat with Deon later." I said to encourage myself while looking out the window.
Strange, I don't see anyone downstairs. There should have been many invited guests downstairs but why didn't I see a single shadow of them?
"Are all the invited guests still in the hall?" Because at my sister's engagement everyone gathered in the hall.
Hem, my sister was engaged to Deon in the hall and now the one who married Deon in the hall is me, not Almira. I don't know if this can be said to be good or bad luck but it's clear to me that this is all good luck.
"Gosh, I forgot to tell Brother Bimo about my wedding today. I need to call her right away"
Tok

I turned to look at the entrance, for a while the problem of Brother Bimo I put aside first.
"Lake in." I said as I walked back to sit on the bed.
My bedroom door was opened by Bi Imah, the maid who has been working in this house since I was a child.
I was immediately stunned to hear it. How can I go down alone without an escort?
"Where's Mama?" I sounded raucous.
"The big lady is unwell and asked me to accompany non Rain down."
Like in a lightning strike, I spontaneously closed my eyes holding the pain in my heart. It breaks my heart to know that the only wonderful woman who has ever given birth and raised me has refused to be my companion on my own wedding day.
God, I really don't want to cry but my heart hurts so much, God. I couldn't help but shed tears from my eyes.
"Non Rain, we should hurry down." Bi Imah urged me to come down immediately.
I nodded my head. Took the dry tissue and hurriedly wiped away the tears on my face.
After that Bi Imah took my hand and led me to walk carefully following his steps. Down the stairs I was again confused because I did not find a single guest. Let alone the guests, the beautiful decorations I had imagined before were nowhere to be seen.
I stared blankly around me. This marriage was attended by only a few people from my family and Deon's family. Even I don't see Mama and Mama Deon, only Om Sam and some of Deon's cousins here.
And they all looked at me with unfriendly looks. They all looked at me cynically. There is hatred in their eyes.
"Rain, come quickly, we don't have time!" Papa's call pulled me from the void.
"Come, sign your name." Papa said while giving me the pen.
"Signature?" We haven't even exchanged rings.
"Yes, sign your name here immediately." Instead of giving me a wedding book, Papa handed me a white paper stamped.
I was again made speechless when I read briefly the words on white paper that had been printed in black ink.
"Hurry up, what do you need to wait for." Aunt Lara urged me to sign it immediately.
I'm stunned, "We married siri?" My question is empty.
