NOT AS BEAUTIFUL AS HEAVEN S1/S2

Chapters 18. Four Companions of Farhan

Farhan and Rachel left today for Bandung. He looks very happy. Early in the morning they were ready.

"Mas, why did you choose Bandung for our honeymoon?" ask Rachel on the way.

"Bandung City gives me a lot of memories" said Farhan with a smile.

Unlike Farhan who was smiling, Rachel's heart was like being pierced by thorns as the man gave his answer. It must be the memory that her husband meant was Andin.

Rachel took a deep and long breath, she had to prepare her heart from this moment on. There will definitely be pain after pain that he will get next.

Arriving in the city of Bandung, without asking anything more, Rachel just followed where her husband took her. Farhan took his wife to stay in a villa.

When entering the Villa, Rachel was shocked to see there were 4 people who had been inside. Two adult men and two women. Farhan immediately hugged the two men.

"Has Farhan made a pact to meet in this villa?" ask Rachel. The woman took a breath back.

Her presence was never considered by her husband. Farhan never asked for his opinion. Where there is a honeymoon done with other friends.

Farhan sat among his four friends. Joking, and laughing to forget his presence that still stands. One of Farhan's female friends looked at her. Rachel then smiled back at the woman.

"Who is the woman with you, Farhan? Why are you just left standing?" ask the woman.

Farhan immediately looked over. The man stood up from his seat and flanked Rachel's arm.

"This is my wife, Rachel" Farhan said, introducing the four friends. One by one Rachel greeted them.

"So the story has moved on!" said one of his friends named Dodi.

"It's really pretty, of course it can make a move on. Is this also the result of your parents' match?" ask a man named Reno.

"No, I married Rachel of my own choice" Farhan said.

The woman felt like she had met Rachel before, but I don't know where. She looked at the woman's face intensely, making Rachel a misbehavior.

"What the hell, Yun? Look up to that," said Dodi.

"Would you take a look at Rachel's face, like no stranger?" ask Yuni. Another female friend named Mia, followed by looking at Rachel's face.

"Followly, you're making Rachel uncomfortable. We're going to his tea garden now? Later in the afternoon," take Dodi.

With the car Dodi was driving, the six of them went to the tea garden. Farhan sat in front with Dodi as the driver. Behind the driver sat the three women. The back seat is Reno.

Throughout the journey Rachel remained silent. The five people kept telling stories. From their conversation, Rachel was able to deduce if the five were Farhan's best friend during college. They were also his best friend Andin. The proof of that is the name Andin they often say.

"Remember when we went to the tea garden, it suddenly rained. Andin until soaked. The next day he was sick. Farhan panicked, very afraid to lose Andin," said Yuni.

"And finally Andin also left him" said Mia, and followed by another laugh.

"What do you guys talk about? I was talking about Andin. Remember, Farhan is now married. There's his wife" said Reno, who was in the back.

From earlier, the man silently watched Rachel. He could see that Farhan's wife was uncomfortable with their conversation. Evidently with him who just kept silent while looking at the streets. The other three friends of Farhan became silent to Reno's words.

"Rachel won't be angry. He knew my relationship with Andin. I think he'll understand" said Farhan.

The three friends of Farhan looked at Rachel. The woman replied with a smile.

"Mas Farhan, right. Chatting aja. Let's just say I'm not among you" Rachel said with a smile.
