PRETEND POOR

PRETEND POOR
A HAPPY ENDING



Tonight the Wijaya family and the Adinata Family hosted their sons' wedding reception in a mega ballroom of the city's best hotel. The party was attended by about a thousand invitations, making it look like the Altiz Hotel became a gathering place for businessmen and important officials invited from both families.


Room decoration is dominated by white with thousands of original white rose buds that make the room fragrant. On the ceiling hung many crystal lights that made the impression of the event luxury.


Anyone who can show an invitation card can attend the most magnificent wedding reception of the year. Guests present can immediately place themselves according to the name listed on the guest table. Guests at the entrance are ready to deliver guests to their respective desks.


On the right and left side there is a food court that serves a variety of food and beverage menus. From appetizers to desserts. A large amount of food is expected to be sufficient for the guests present.


Songs played by the band began to play when two couples began to enter the room. All eyes were amazed at the beauty and good looks of the bride.


Despite being heavily pregnant, Ruby still looks graceful wearing a blue wedding dress with the hairdo shouldered up and wearing a crown. She was like a Cinderella in her glass shoes. Melvin was next to him, holding his wife's arm carefully. The woman though carries a large content but still wants to be energetic. Melvin was only afraid his children would fall if his wife was too active.


Meanwhile, Gita wore a golden yellow wedding dress inspired by Belle's dress. Her hair was also styled in such a way as to resemble one of the Disney cartoon characters. In accordance with the concept of the reception they are carrying out, namely the royal theme.


Ardi was stunned in place, looking at the collateral. His lips put on a smile as a sign that he was happy with their marriage. Rei and Melvin have been best friends for a long time. Seeing them have found the heart patch helped make him feel relieved. She also hopes that her married life with Elen will last forever and always be happy.


"Mas, I'll get you your favorite cake. It's funny over there." Elen placed a small plate of pie in front of Ardi. Meanwhile, he himself held a glass filled with ice cream that evoked his taste.


"Why go alone? If I wanted to I should've taken it." Ardi felt a little guilty without his knowledge it turns out Elen took his own food. In fact, he was determined to spoil his wife who is now pregnant young.


"So Mas bengong continued, his eyes somehow see where to forget next to there is a wife." Elen quipped her husband who had been busy paying attention to the guarantee until he was ignored. "About in front is a beautiful bride!" Elen showed a slightly annoyed face.


Ardi smiled. He gently rubbed his wife's head. "Where is there anything prettier than my wife" he said. "I'm sorry, if I'm less sensitive. Don't be angry anymore, I'm scared."


"Mas Ardi should also try to keep my eyes on me so that I don't get upset." Elen was jealous of her husband looking at Ruby.


"Yes, Honey. Ii'm sorry. Whether you believe it or not, I really just love you now."


"If it's love, why if there's Ruby, it's still like that. I don't think I exist."


"Who saw Ruby?" Ardi always had a hard time if his wife was already feeling jealous. "I'm just grateful that Rei and Melvin have found a companion. We've been friends for a long time and like brothers. Don't be blind jealous like that."


Meanwhile, at the other table there were Mr. Wijaya and Mr. Kennedy who sat with his business partners. In addition to still discussing about business, they also discussed about the magnificent wedding.


"You are so astonishing. Your child's wedding is being kept hidden. The reception turn was held this lively. What's with your kids, actually? Until Miss Ruby was already pregnant that big and almost gave birth." Mr. Bono, their business partner and golfing friend protested for not being invited to the wedding.


"This is what business science is all about, Bono. The point is to minimize the costs incurred," said Mr. Wijaya.


"Hahaha .. what an unacceptable reason for two rich businessmen" said Mr. Jeki.


"Hah ... Mr. Helmi's question is there." Mr. Bono bobbing heads. Mr. Wijaya and Mr. Kennedy were laughing.


"I'm sorry to offend, because it's very strange that your sons' marriages are hidden," continued Mr. Helmi.


"Actually we don't intend to hide, just find the right time to announce. And the right time is today," said Mr. Wijaya.


"Melvin and Ruby's wedding has actually also been sticking to the media first because it is associated with the cancellation of Ardi and Ruby's engagement. That's one of the things that makes us not like to share important family moments. You see the media likes to make news that is contrary to the facts," added Mr. Kennedy.


"True Mr. Ken, I have doubts about the integrity that journalists have now. Even without an interview, just based on the issues being heard, brands can already make up stories."


"Hahaha .. I know, Mr. Jeki must still be traumatized by the news at that time. It could be that journalists spread behind-the-scenes photos with a woman in Turkey. That's your own daughter's photo." Mr. Bono couldn't help but laugh. Others also laughed considering the events of the past.


"If I don't pity the brash reporters making the news, I've got him. Because of the news, my company's stock went down." Mr. Jeki held his head. It was the hardest time in his business days.


"Maybe they don't know that your daughter was still studying in Turkey. What kind of journalist doesn't know the source."


The talk of the fathers continues. The event of the two pairs of brides is also still running in accordance with the arrangement presented by the host. They enjoy dancing together. In addition to them, there were also other couples who came from invited guests.


The smile on Ruby's face did not fade so happy to follow the excitement of the wedding reception. She is thrilled to be celebrating her marriage to Melvin along with her twin brother Rei's wedding celebration.


Ruby looked at her husband's face with a smile still on her lips. He did not expect his experience of running away from home, pretending to be a poor man finally brought his story anchored to become a wife of Melvin Andrea Adinata. The man she hated the most made her fall in love. He recalled the saying, "Hate people properly, you won't know if one day you'll turn to love them so much."
