New York, 8.45 pm.
Wilson Bar and Cafe.
"Hey Tony, what are you up to?" (Hey Tony, what are you doing?) a blonde woman with shoulder-length hair approached Tony who was busy staring at the screen of his cellphone.
"Wow, wedding party? Who is that? Wow.. she looks so beautiful!" (Wow, the wedding? Who her? Wow.. She's so beautiful!) she admires the beauty of the woman on Tony's phone who is none other than Cia's live Instagram. Yes, when a notification appears that comes from the IG Cia account, Tony immediately opens it. He was quite shocked at first when he saw what the content of the live content was. But with all his heart, Tony forced himself to look at the show.
"She is my friend in high school when I was in Indonesia." (He was a friend of my High School when I was in Indonesia) replied Tony flatly.
The blonde-haired woman frowned deeply.
"What's? She got married today?" (What? She got married today?).
Tony nodded as he downed the half-glass wine.
"Seriously? Isn't that too early? She's not even 20 yet, right?" (You serious? Is that not too young? He hasn't even turned 20, has he?) the blond woman could not hide her astonishment. She was alone at almost the same age as the girl still had not thought in that direction.
Tony chuckles. "Regan, Everyone has their choice. If at that age you have found the right one, why not?" (Regan, everyone has a choice. If he has found the right one at that age, why not?) he shrugged both his shoulders.
The blonde woman was named Regan. He's a friend of Tony's college in NYIT and has been pretty familiar since the last two months. Every weekend they spend time together. Regan is a bright and energetic person. He has the same fondness as Tony: playing basketball and dancing. Not infrequently they spend the rest of the night after returning to college by playing basketball on the campus field.
Regan was listening to Tony. He then pulled the tip of Tony's hair in a prick. One habit he used to do with Tony.
"You seem jealous, is she your ex?" (You seem jealous, she's your ex, huh?) Regan teases.
Tony held back a smile and shook his head unconvinced. "No, she's not. She's my idol." (No, he's not my ex. He's my idol.) he replied.
Regan sneered and pushed Tony's cheeks slowly. He then pulled Tony's hand and invited him to join the dance floor to dance with other bar visitors.

"What is this ma?" selenia and Adam asked almost simultaneously. A few days after their wedding was completed, Ms. Lisa gave them a pink ribbon envelope.
"If you want to see, open dong," replied Miss Lisa relaxed as she passed to Ray who was rolling on the bed. "Hello Oma's ganteeeeng granddaughter, what else is this? How am I so rich?" he then lifted Ray up to his carrier.
...RAY'S...

Adam and Selenia still haven't opened the envelope until Miss Lisa comes back to them.
"Lho, how about diem anyway? Open dong. It was your wedding gift from mom. Special!" Miss Lisa sniggers. "Mama bring Ray down first yes, want to play with Opa-opanya who is busy arguing politics. Leave it to diem," he said later and passed away leaving their room.
After Miss Lisa died, Adam closed the door and they both sat on the sofa by the window. Curious and dag dig dig also with the contents of the envelope from Bu Lisa. It was a few days past their wedding.
"You're the one who opened it" Adam handed the envelope to Selenia.
Selenia. "We open up together dong. Mom said this was for us,"
Slowly Adam ripped off the end of the envelope. Then his hand reached into the contents inside the envelope and took it out. And when they saw what the envelope contained, they both turned their backs.
A vacation ticket on the Norwegian Jade cruise ship on the Thailand-Myanmar-Malaysia-Singapore route.
...πΊπΊπΊ...
"Already, anyway you do not have to worry and worry about Ray. Consider this your honeymoon. Okay?" ms. Lisa said the next morning when Selenia and Adam questioned about the holiday ticket. "Mom's already hired a special baby sitter who will take care of Ray during the two of you vacation."
"Baby sitter?" Selenia and Adam looked at each other. Selenia was less so than once when Ray was taken care of by a baby sitter. She was afraid that Ray would eventually feel more comfortable with the baby sitter than her own mommy.
Miss Lisa who seemed to know Selenia's worries, smiled.
"You don't have to worry, honey. There are times when you will need the services of a baby sitter. Because you won't be able to keep going for 24 hours keep Ray. You have plans for college, right next year? Yes, Ray wants to be taken to college? It's not possible. If you tell Bi Iyah, kill him too. The task of Bi Iyah is not that dear," said Bu Lisa trying to give understanding.
"But ma, I'm afraid Ray will be closer to the baby sitter than I am" whined Selenia.
"No, baby. As long as you can give Ray more attention, he will always feel comfortable with you. The bond between mother and child is strong. No one can beat. Moreover, Ray full ASI you really from the baby. Therefore, you will still have three more days to prepare everything, your ASI pump, provide as much as possible for Ray during your vacation," Ms. Lisa suggested.
"Mama's right baby," Adam chimed in. "You don't have to worry too much. Ray knows who his mother is."
"Yok dong" said Miss Lisa again. "Enjoy your holidays, enjoy your honeymoon. We're all here to take care of Ray as much as we can."
Hearing all that, Selenia felt a little relieved and calm. Yeah, well, there's no harm in trying. After all, as long as he and Adam are on vacation, Ray will be around the right people. Selenia finally nodded in agreement.
...πΊπΊπΊ...
Honeymoon is coming!!!
Their cruise ship is in Thailand.
"Yeahaaayyy!!" Selenia screamed cheerfully on the edge of the yacht deck with her hands stretching upwards, letting the scarf she stretched out wave in the wind.
This is the second day she and Adam are on a cruise ship enjoying their holiday gift from Miss Lisa. Selenia is still wearing her sleeping satin dress because she just woke up after last night enjoying a full romantic struggle with her husband. Adam woke up early and was dressed so well. A rolled-up long-sleeved black shirt and matching colored trousers complemented her appearance this morning. Her lips pulled out a smile looking at Selenia who looked extremely happy.
Selenia twisting body. "Eh, baby. How are you so neat?"
"Guruan gih bath, trus we have breakfast," Adam menjwil chin Selenia with his index finger. "Semalem is not just once," he looked ignorant.
Selenia dyed around the deck where they were standing. He pinched Adam's stomach. There were some people passing by but not so attentive to the chatter of the two. But with swift Adam caught Selenia's hand and stuck it on the chest of her field.
"Why?" adam asked softly and remained with an ignorant look.
"Don't say it out loud." Selenia's eyes rounded and spoke while gritting her teeth.
Adam giggles. He then pulled Selenia's hip and tightened it into her body.
"Why can't you? Speaking of his own wife. Come on, you gotta take a shower now. We had breakfast, I was a laper, baby. The power was pretty drained last night," Adam didn't stop flirting.
"Ih," Selenia pinched Adam's stomach even harder. "That keeps talking about it."
Adam looked up at Selenia's pursed lips. "Yes already hunted gi shower, we're going around see the atmosphere."
"Hmmm, ready for the bosque," Selenia pulled away from Adam and walked towards the hotel where they were staying.
Adam who saw the way Selenia road that seemed tempting, felt unable to bear and immediately moved quickly to hunt his wife and then squeezed her butt before Selenia managed to avoid.
"Aawww.." -...." Selenia was shocked. "Yes, Adaaaaaam....!" he banged Adam on the shoulder, chasing him towards their inn.
Thankfully no one was watching.
...πΊπΊπΊ...
"Tu mommy same daddy tuh... hello mommy.... hello daddy.... what else?"
Adam and Selenia had just finished breakfast - they ate at a restaurant on the edge of the ship with a view of the high seas - and then contacted Ms. Lisa via a video call. It looks like Ray is in the lap of Bu Lisa also staring at the phone screen. The baby is actively playing with his own hands.
"Raaaaay.. iiihhh mommy kangeeeen.." exclaimed Selenia while wiping her phone screen.
"For Ray, it's daddy and mommy just finished breakfast. Ray's had a shower?" adam slips his arm around Selenia's shoulder.
"Udah dong daddy, miss you too mommy," replied Miss Lisa representing Ray. "I've taken a shower, have mimi milk too, just want to go for a walk with Opa-opa and Oma."
"Well, Ray wants to take a walk where ma?" asked Selenia enthusiastically.
Last night after dinner, Selenia also had a chance to chat with her father through a video call. Mr. Fendi said that in the near future he will return to the UK. Selenia herself requested that her father return there when he returned home for the holidays, but if he could not wait it was also not a problem. Because Mr. Fendi said he might return to Indonesia again in the next 6 months. He also said that now he feels much more relieved if he has to leave Selenia to the UK, because now Selenia has been with the right people.
"Not anywhere, baby. Just take a look out, but Opa Fendi is not busy, all before returning to the UK again. What about the honeymoon you two? Asiatic?" asked Miss Lisa with a seductive look.
Selenia and Adam looked at each other for a while and smiled. Everyone knows, this honeymoon is not to give a sister to Ray. Because two months ago, Selenia had decided to join the KB program. So, hopefully it's safe, hihihi. Honeymoon this time they consider as a substitute for honeymoon in the early days of their loveless marriage.
"OK okay okay, you shouldn't have to do it like that" Lisa giggled. "Yes already then, you guys just enjoy the holidays and honeymoon. Mama's going for a walk with Ray. Daaaa... have fun yes you guys...." Lisa waved Ray's hand at the camera. "The same drug daddy and mommy used to love.. daaagh daddy, mommy...!"
"Daagh Ray, have fun also same oma and opa yes, mmmmmuaachhh!" Selenia kissed her phone screen.
After that, the video call connection was cut off. Selenia put the phone down and leaned her head against Adam's shoulder. He let out a long sigh, then wrapped his hands around Adam's waist. He smiled looking out at the high seas and felt so grateful for the life that had been outlined for him. The marriage, which was not her desire at first and only carried an inner burden in her teenage life, has now turned 360 degrees, into a life she is deeply grateful for endlessly.
Loyal, understanding, mature, wise, humorous husband. Adam was really a husband figure who was almost near perfect for Selenia. About age? That's not a problem. No one knows, right? The proof is that both can complement each other.
Adam glanced at Selenia lovingly and clasped her shoulders gently. He also felt very lucky to have a wife like Selenia. Although sometimes his attitude is still like a child - his name is also still ABG - but behind it all his wife has a myriad of love and affection poured out for him and Ray.
She's a good mother to Ray, and a perfect wife to Adam.
"Adam..." Selenia whispers.
"Yes baby?"
Selenia looked up and looked straight into the eyes of Adam who was also looking down at her. Their gazes were so intense.
"How can I get so lucky to be your wife?" selenia. Both his hands released a hug from Adam's body and cupped Adam's cheeks warmly. "I'm really lucky to have you."
"Me too, honey," Adam lowered Selenia's hands and held them tightly and kissed her gently.
Selenia's eyes glazed over. The feeling of haru because of happiness enveloped his feelings. A cold sea breeze blew through his hair. Adam's hands revealed a blur of hair covering part of Selenia's face, and he quickly landed a loving kiss on Selenia's tiny lips.
They both kissed a long time ago.
