Mats...Mats...Mats...

Water falls little by little from the black sky, Aditya runs towards his car parked in the office yard.

"It's already in the rainy season huh" muttered Aditya with busy hands taking off his suit.

Aditya's eyes saw the car glass that was flushed by the rain, the drops of rain flowing clear soaked every part of the outside of his car.

"It's been 2 years? How are you, miss?"

Aditya pulled the seatbelt of the car and attached it to his body, his eyes were still busy daydreaming at the raindrops.

His feet stepped on the car gas slowly, in the course of Aditya just silent his eyes look hollow but still focused on looking towards the highway.

He stopped his car in front of the flower shop, Aditya's eyes fixed on a beautiful red flower with fresh petals moistened with a few drops of water.

"I'm taking this"

The shopkeeper gave Aditya a bouquet of roses.

Aditya returns to run his car, minutes into the cemetery.

Aditya got out of the car using a clear white umbrella, his steps down the cemetery until he stopped right at one of the very well-preserved tombs, neat ornamental grass covers the tomb and clearly looks wet grass because of the rain.

Aditya sat squatting on the edge of the tomb, his hands gently rubbing the wet white tombstone with a thin smile on his lips.

"Mom, Aditya's coming"

Aditya placed the rose he held on top of his mother's grave.

"Aditya should how mom? It's been 2 years but still like this? Aditya's sick mom, don't know what to do"

Drt...Drt...Drt...

Aditya's hand reached into his pants pocket, picking up his ringing phone. From the phone screen looks Dion's name.

Aditya turns his body around and picks up Dion's phone call.

(Call connected)

______

^^^"What's the matter?"^^^

"Where? Me and Rosa are already

expecting you"

^^^"20 minutes to go home"^^^

"Ok, hurry up don't think much"

_______

(Call disconnected)

Aditya put his cell phone in his pocket, and looked back at his mother's grave.

"Mom, Aditya go home first. Pray Aditya bu" With his hands rubbing gravestones.

Aditya steps away from his mother's grave, the rain gets heavier and Aditya steps a little run until he gets into the car.

Aditya's hand reached for a black box, with two rings inside.

*Am I going to be ready to see it later?* inner Aditya

The box containing the ring was kept back by Aditya.

Slowly Aditya's car left the parking lot of the cemetery area.

Aditya's 15-minute drive to his yard, seen from inside the car Rosa and Dion are waiting for him on the porch.

Aditya sighed softly and got out of his car.

"Where are you from Dit? Go don't say it" Rosa said while hitting Aditya's shoulder

"Rose?"

"What's wrong?"

Dion glanced at Aditya who was sitting pensively on the chair, hands resting on knees with his body slightly leaning forward.

Dion's eyes are seen beckoning Rosa, even for them it's not strange if Aditya is like that. Remembering for 2 years he harbored his feelings for Keysa, and today is the day of Aditya's destruction.

"Dit, if you're not sure to come with me and Dion. Stay home, we're not forcing you to come along. It's just that one time please open your eyes, Keysa will marry his lover. Stop expecting it back" Rosa said trying to give Aditya a solution

"We also don't want you to get hurt seeing her happy with someone else, so don't force yourself"

"Did I look so weak in your eyes?" Aditya asked with his head raised, making Rosa and Dion dumbfounded round their eyes.

Rosa and Dion have no intention of offending Aditya, but Aditya is more grumpy than usual.

Dion was sitting next to Aditya, his hands clutching Aditya's shoulders and patting him softly.

"Don't talk like that, if you really love Keysa let him be happy. Isn't proof dear not just by having each other? You also have to be happy Dit, if Keysa can be happy without you you should also be able to"

"We're leaving"

His hands were busy tidying up the collar of the shirt after tying the old gray tie with a line pattern.

Aditya takes a deep breath and solidifies his intention to come to Keysa's wedding.

Kriet's...

"Are you ready?" Dion asked who was standing at the door of Aditya's room

Aditya was surprised to see Dion at his door with a sharp look.

"What are you doing in front of the door?"

"I thought you were crying so in anticipation I intended to enter earlier"

Without answering Dion's taunts, Aditya hit him on the head until he grimaced.

On the way to the wedding location, Aditya just stayed in the back seat, while Rosa and Dion occasionally still glanced at him from the rearview mirror in the car.

Rosa's hand pinched slowly on Dion's arm, her eyes beckoning Dion to talk to Aditya, who was still daydreaming outside the windshield.

"Any? Don't daydream, where did it end? Why didn't you tell me to get out"

Aditya turned his gaze towards Dion, after a few seconds he was silent and finally answered Dion's words.

"From my mother's grave"

"Why not take me and Rosa?"

"No need, I just want to visit my mother's grave. I'll go to sleep when I wake me up"

"Yes Dit"

***

Almost 3 hours drive them until a luxury resort on the beach.

"The Cape" complains Rosa

Dion removed his seatbelt, and turned back to wake Aditya.

"Anything?"

"Hmm?"

"Wake up, let's go down"

Dion and Rosa had gotten out of the car not with Aditya still sitting quietly in his place.

Geck...Geck...

Dion knocks on the windshield of the car door close to Aditya, Aditya just shuts up and looks at him.

Dion's hand beckoned Aditya to get out immediately, Aditya adjusted his breathing and got out of the car.

Without saying anything Aditya walked away leaving Rosa and Dion still standing looking at him confused.

"He's okay, isn't Yon?"

"Either Ros, I hope he's okay. Let's get to him"

Rosa and Dion walk a little run following Aditya steps into the resort.

A resort employee greeted the three of them and drove them to the back of the resort which presented a very beautiful stretch of beach with a sunset decoration.

Along the way to the beach neatly arranged white flowers and a row of prewedding photos Keysa and Adam.

Aditya was silent for a moment seeing that, Dion hugged Aditya's shoulder trying to give him strength.

"Come on" said Dion to Aditya

Dion and Rosa noticed Aditya who was just silent regardless of the atmosphere around him.

"Aditya?"

Aditya turned his head to hear his name called, seeing Gunawan who was standing right next to his chair. Make Aditya reflex stand up, and shake Gunawan's hand.

"Good sir"

"I don't think you came. What about work in the office? After Keysa's wedding day I couldn't get in the office, thank you for always helping me"

"This is my responsibility sir, all the work is going well and the project in city B is operating smoothly after the inauguration day 5 months ago"

"Good, I've always believed in your work. Then excuse me first"

"Yes sir"

Aditya looked at Gunawan who left him, a few minutes later the wedding ceremony of Keysa and Adam began. Seen from far away Keysa walked accompanied by Mr. Gunawan with a beautiful white kebaya.

Aditya's eyes were stunned to see Keysa, but his consciousness first brushed him off. Aditya shook his head and turned his face away.

Keysa sat next to Adam, and Adam was ready to say kabul. But suddenly...
