Scratches of Past Wounds

The disturbing past

All eyes were fixed on the dashing figure who walked closer to the akad table that had been provided. The guardian and the witness waited anxiously for him since a few minutes ago. What else Ibu Ratih, the seventy-year-old woman has been bad at it since. Moreover, Adnan's place depends when it is also invisible.

Rania obviously could not be questioned because her position was one place with the Light. If contacting Rania is the same as making the Light anxious. But now Ratih's mother can breathe a sigh of relief when Doni walks to the end table followed by Adnan.

Although Ratih's mother can capture the dark and gloomy look on her son's face, at least Doni does not leave this sacred event just like that. Something is wrong with her son. Adnan looked a little tense. Until Adnan's eyes are on him as if telling all is well.

Doni was invited by the MC to sit in the space provided . Then after the event was opened by the MC and a little suave finally the core event that everyone was waiting for began.

Starting from the Penghulu who gave the opening words and wejangan wejangan. The light in a special room cannot focus. His mind flew and his ears buzzed incoherently along with his mixed heart .

This is not a first for the Light but it is undeniable that his heart can no longer be conditioned.

" Legit "

One word that sounded out loud from the mouths of the witnesses dragged the Light back to the real world. A moment later there was a thunderous roar from the guests . The MCs took over the show and asked the bride to enter the Ballroom.

" Come, brother-in-law, it's time to see your husband. " Say Rania with her naughty clatter.

Husband, yes ! Now the Light has a husband. She is the wife of a Ramadhoni aksa, a CEO and owner of a company that is quite calculated in this country. All dreams are beautiful or scary. For the Light now feels ash.

" Hey... ! Come on, kok bengong. You're not kesambet, are you ? " Rania Seloroh.

" Is. I don't know if I'm nervous. " Light Frown.

The two friends finally came out of the special room where the Light was hidden . All eyes were directed to the open door. Light and Rania appeared and walked slowly towards the dead table .

Doni stared at the light who lowered his head out of the room. Until sitting next to Doni, the Light never lifted his face.

After completing the correspondence, MC asked Doni to pin the wedding ring and so did Light. The two touched each other for the first time. The light hand that was decorated with hena looked trembling and sweating.

Doni enjoyed the jitters of Light with a faint smile without anyone noticing. Until just after the Light finished pinning the ring MC told Light to kiss her husband's hand as his first devotion to the husband. And next Doni kissed the Light's forehead.

" I want to take your promise ! " Whisper of Doni when his lips almost touched the forehead of Light.

The light that did not understand only silently received the first kiss from the man who had just become her husband. While Doni who received no response from Light did not give up so easily.when the two brides were directed to sungkem on their only parent , Doni again said the same thing .

" Wife, you didn't forget your promise, did you?

" What Promise ? " The light ventured to look at Doni.

" Say.thank you, Brother ! " Say Doni while whispering and reaching for Light's hand and holding her towards Ratih's desk.

The light flinched and then realized Doni's intent.

" T. Thank you, Brother ! " Take the Light without knowing what he said for. What was visible now was Doni's widened smile.

" Is he that happy ? " Inner Light.

In front of them Ratih's mother was seen smiling with wet eyes. Today his greatest wish has been granted. His heart began to calm down, his son was already taking care of him. Ratih's mother only hopes Light can restore her Doni as before.

" Blessed, Son. Love your wife, don't be in vain. " Say as Doni sat down kissing the reverence of his hands.

" God willing, Buk. Please Do'anya. " Reply Doni.

" I'll try, Buk. I need a prayer of blessing, Ibuk. ! "Light Spoke.

" Always, Son. "

The event continues, now it is the turn of children who greet their Mother and her new Father. Rania, Adnan and their children. Unfortunately, Doni's sister can't come because of a sudden event, and has trouble taking care of her leave.

After his turn the guests congratulated the newlyweds. The two agreed not to sit in the guarantee, they walked to the guests who were not that much. The clutched hand was used to it and not awkward anymore.

Arriving at the last table, Doni brought the Light closer by crucifying the Light's hand on his arm. There are Aryo and Randi with their respective wives. And Max came with Marinda without their partner. Because both are equally unmarried.

" Safe, Bro. You finally found your way home. " Say Aryo

" Thanks. Aya.. introduce this my friend. " Donis introduced his friend to the Light. " This is Aryo and his wife Rose. This is Randi and his wife Dina. And this is Maxime, this is Marinda. " The light only shines on the woman and cupped hands on the man.

All are light with all their appearances. Until Marinda arrived, Light felt uncomfortable because the woman threw away her face without welcoming her hand.

" This is my wife Light. " Say Doni introduces Light to all his friends while reaching for the hanging hands of Light. The atmosphere felt awkward and silent for a moment.

" Thank God Doni gets you right away, Light. at least reduce the singles population. Now it's Max and Rinda." Canda Randi breaks the awkwardness. Max smiled while Marinda was annoyed.

Everyone understood what Marinda was feeling, but everyone knew that Doni never gave any hope. All this time his friend had been reminding Marinda to stop. Because they are afraid that this friendship will be split just because of unrequited love. But, as long as Doni is unmarried Marinda still has hope. Until now Marinda's hope was really only empty hope.

Disappointed... ? That's certain. But it is unfortunate if a Marinda acts like a child who is taken by her toys. Marinda should be more mature in addressing and accepting reality.

Only the Light is confused by this situation. But in his heart the Light could already guess why Marinda ignored him. But the Light wonders in the heart, how is their relationship really and Doni... ?

" I am the lucky one, you can marry. " Reply the Light on Randi.

" Yourself... Brother, gays... " Curse Max mocking Doni. While Doni just smiled trying to ignore the view of Marinda who could not be separated from him.

" Yes.you are right. I can't believe it, Don chose you. Far from his type. " Marinda said softly but meaningfully.

" We are the only ones who do not know all this time, so it is very durable because he is widowed because he has not met the one like the Light. " Aryo tried to mediate so that this awkward atmosphere did not heat up.

" Sure this is her type, Don ! From Tiara there's nothing. Especially from the girl girl date who brought Don hangout . Continues that are often brought to the island owned by Max, how are you girls. " Marinda chuckles cynically.

" Just pray for the best, it's a happy day and Doni's new start. No need to talk about the past. " Aryo was a little careless with Marinda who was trying to provoke the Light.

The light simply stayed still without responding to just the squeeze on Doni's arm tightening unwittingly. Doni who realized it instantly grabbed and moved the fingers of Light back into his grasp. Then squeezing her a little tightly provoked the gaze of Light linked to her . Doni smiled as if saying "It's ok. Don't worry be happy. "

" All right, thanks for coming. You can eat everything but don't forget the gift. Me and Light want to sit down first, tired of traveling. " Doni said with a smile without even looking at Marinda. And then pulled the gentle Light onto his mother's desk. Doni doesn't want any commotion.

" Don't put it in Marinda's heart. He was so, a little bit cranky but basically good. " The voice of Doni calms the Light, but to the Light that sounded Doni was defending Marinda. And honestly the Light is interrupted by Marinda's special call, "Don " .

Since then there was a sense of unease in his heart over all the actions and words of Marinda. But... Okay... ?? Marinda was really good for Doni. How good... ?? And what is their relationship like... ?? Who's the chick Marinda meant... ?

All those questions float in the heart and mind of Light. The light is not blind to judge the meaning of Marinda's gaze and speech. And Light also knew that Doni avoided Marinda's gaze and looked awkward. Like someone who feels guilty.
