Cladia looked at her face in front of the large glass in her room, beautiful, as if she did not recognize her own face in a white wedding dress decorated with real pearls on her chest.
Cladia's right hand climbed upwards touching the diamond necklace that was coiled around her neck. The new diamond necklace, a collaboration between Sanjaya and Xanderson Group, was designed specifically for her, specifically for her wedding day.
Cladia's memory goes back to 5 years ago, recalling an event that had until recently been the worst nightmare of her life.
No Jeremy, no Niela let alone Ornado who knows how Cladia was really tormented with the memory of the events 5 years ago, struggling to forget her, she said, but every time he saw a man, let alone a foreign man, the memory was always on his mind.
5 years ago Cladia clearly saw her best friend Dina raped by her own classmate and murdered in front of her eyes.
It is still clear in the memory of Cladia, 5 years ago, when she and Dina were both still in high school, they were both different classes, but outside the class where there was Dina there must be Cladia.
Dina is a beautiful, kind and friendly girl, and often her kindness and friendliness make men misunderstand, but Cladia knows for sure Dina never hurt any man.
A week before her death Dina complained to Cladia lately she often felt on the way home followed by someone. It just so happened that Dina's house and school were only 500 meters away, so she preferred to walk to school.
Cladia also hears a complaint from Dina about Edo, her classmate who declares her love but Dina rejects her. Not because it was ugly or not clever or any reason Dina rejected Edo.
His classmates included handsome, rank 1 in his class, many of his classmates even from other classes who had a crush, but Edo never responded.
From the beginning Dina never felt attracted to Edo, not just because she was too quiet and her sharp eyes seemed cruel and horrible, but because with her own eyes Dina once saw Edo torturing a stray cat in the school garden and finally killing the cat, even with a smile on his face.
Since the incident actually Dina has been trying to avoid Edo, but it seems Edo continues to try to declare his love for Dina.
That afternoon Dina seduced Cladia to accompany her to sleep at her house, because since two days ago her mother had to go out of the island to visit her brother who lived there, will return in 4 days.
Because that day had entered the school holidays, Cladia eagerly agreed to Dina's invitation.
That night Jeremy himself deliberately drove Cladia directly to Dina's house, because since Morning Jeremy had felt an unpleasant premonition while in the office, thus forcing Cladia to her own who drove.
Once at the door of the house Dina Cladia immediately called Dina but there was no response, Cladia carefully tried to open the door of Dina's house which turned out to be unlocked.
As soon as he saw inside the living room Cladia screaming hysterically, Dina was almost naked and covered in blood, next to her body appeared Edo who was still holding a dagger that was still dripping fresh blood.
Seeing that Cladia immediately shouted hysterically, making Edo fiercely turn to Cladia and walk straight towards her. Cladia tried to run towards the exit, swiftly Edo with a hand covered in blood holding Cladia's shoulder and pulling her so that Cladia fell.
Edo immediately pulled Cladia's right hand, the second time Edo pointed his knife towards Cladia. By then Cladia had imagined she would die until she heard a familiar scream, Jeremy's voice, after which Cladia fainted and had no idea what happened next.
As soon as she realized Cladia was already in her own room, with her clothes changed clean, next to her, Jeremy sat waiting for her.
"Cla, how's your condition?" Is anyone sick?" Jeremy stroked Cladia's hair gently, though she looked calm, Cladia could see Jeremy trying to hold back his tears so as not to fall.
"Don't be afraid, there's a big brother here, everything's gonna be fine" Jeremy kissed the back of Cladia's hand.
"Sister, Dina......" Cladia immediately cried as she could, unable to continue her words.
"Sorry, brother did not manage to save her, when the ambulance and the police came, Dina was gone, sorry," Finally Jeremy's defense broke down, she joined in crying with Cladia whose feelings were mixed, afraid, sad, sad, feeling guilty, losing his precious friend.
Since that incident Cladia more silent, although the values of the lessons are not affected, but after school he no longer follow the extra schedule, more locked himself in the room without doing anything, just sitting pensively and sometimes at night nightmares make him yell so Jeremy hurriedly must come and accompany him.
In addition to nightmares almost every night, Cladia has a phobia of men, especially foreign men. She would never let her skin come into contact with a man except for her brother Jeremy.
2-year-old Cladia must fight her trauma. Although Jeremy gave the best psychiatrist, even coming from abroad, and he was declared emotionally recovered, he said, there's one thing Cladia keeps close tabs on Jeremy that she's been phobic with men ever since.
Once he comes into contact with the male directly he will directly kick or slap the male to defend himself.
If not for the will, since the incident 5 years ago Cladia has decided not to marry anyone, for she is enough to be a good aunt like a biological mother for the children of Jeremy later, for her, jeremy's future wife is Niela, who is now his closest friend.

Ah, Cladia bit her lower lip, the moment she was really scared, it felt like she wanted to jump out of the window to run away from her wedding today. But it was very, very unlikely, under the windows of his room, in front of the door, in front of the entrance of his house, even on all sides of his house many guards and brothers were preparing to wait for him to get out of the room to leave for the wedding hall.
"Cla, are you ready?" Niela breaks into Cladia's room because more than 15 minutes since Adel, MUA number one in Indonesia came out and declared Cladia was ready, Cladia still did not come out of her room.
"Wowwwwww, how beautiful our queen is today, I was curious about Ornado's reaction when she saw your beauty today!" Niela pulled Cladia's left hand.
If only this wasn't her wedding day to Ornado, Cladia would gladly respond to Niela's talk, but she was currently really in a scary situation for her, it felt like there was no way to escape, the only way possible was to survive.
Cladia's right hand holding onto something was trying to make Niela pay no attention to what she was doing.
