Secret MatchSecret Mate

Trying Harder

"You're the one I'm gonna marry."

A sentence that made Riana reluctant to wake up from her sleep. Sure enough, when he opened his eyes it was just a dream. Riana could only contemplate her very sad fate.

Her tears seemed to have dried up. Tired of how Riana felt from the too many tears she had shed these two days for someone who had been willing to betray her.

"Are I willing to see their happiness?" lirih Riana closed her eyes.

"I want it all to end quickly. And left all my memories with him." His monologue.

At night, Riana came out with very snail eyes. Everyone who saw him was silent. Including the triplets who did not open their voices when they saw Riana. Dinner that feels bland and very quiet. There was no happiness enveloping the Rion family at this moment.

"Where are you, Mimo and Aki?" ask plain Aeleya.

"Iya Bubu, Mimo's house is deserted" Aleesa said.

Riana was only speechless hearing her niece's chatter. He feels the same way. Since the arrival of Riana to Jakarta, the big house next to the house of the brother like uninhabited. And Riana forgot why she didn't ask Aska earlier.

"Mother doesn't know either." That's what Echa said.

Riana saw that there was disappointment on her sister's face. Riana does not want to be the cause of the fractured relationship between her sister and Ayanda.

"Ri, ready to be bridesmaid." Riana opened her voice.

Everyone gasped at what Riana said. Because everyone hoped that Riana would not come to the event.

Echa looked towards Radit. Radit just nodded his head. Everything's gonna be fine. That's what Radit said through the nod of the head he gave.

"Don't force yourself, RI," said Rion.

"Ri, don't want to disappoint Mommy, Dad. Mommy was like a mother to, Ri," she explained.

That's what Riana said. Ayanda loved Rion's two children from her second marriage very sincerely. Riana and Iyan seemed to have a new mother figure that was softer than their mother.

"Dad doesn't want you to be disappointed" added Rion.

"Ri, I'm disappointed, Dad. Let tomorrow be a day of disappointment for Ri. The day after tomorrow Ri promise will rise from disappointment. Setting Ri's new life again." A word that makes everyone freeze.

The happy day for the man Riana loved has arrived. Rion's family was ready to go to the hotel where the wedding ceremony took place. Throughout the journey Riana was silent. Hugged tightly the goody bag containing the dress for her to wear.

Everyone was already there. No exception, Keysha. Riana's best friend who studied in Singapore. Keysha was already beautiful with a kebaya that enveloped her body. And his eyes stared painfully at Riana.

"I'm okay." That was what Riana said with a smile that implied pain.

"Change first, yuk," Keysha asked. Riana nodded obediently.

Accidentally, she runs into the man she loves so much. Highlight the eyes of men just like Riana. Showing a deep sadness. Aksa held Riana's hand so that Riana's steps came to a halt. However, Riana reluctantly looked towards Aksa. It hurts too much for her to see Aksa's face.

"I'm sorry Brother. Brother has broken a promise, "sorry Aksa.

Keysha immediately moved away when Aksa's voice sounded. While Riana looked to hear an apology from Aksa. Lama Riana was silent, and Aksa's hand did not release the check in Riana's hand.

Slowly the hand began to loosen. Riana still lowered her head while holding back her tears that wanted to fall.

"We're not a match for now. But not for the future" said Aksa.

They were both silent and struggling with their own thoughts. Until Beeya pulls Riana's hand to immediately enter the makeup room. Because the wedding ceremony is about to start.

Riana was a little astonished when she saw that the kebaya she was using was different from the others. When Keysha, Beeya, Echa and her three children wore peach-colored kebaya. Only Riana wears a baby blue colored kebaya. As if it were prepared carefully.

When Riana walked to the wedding venue. Everyone who was already sitting there looked in admiration towards Riana because of her beauty and her motherhood. No exception for the groom who does not blink at all. As Riana walked closer towards the elder sister, a middle-aged man said, "loh, the bride is here dong," pointed her towards the side of Aksa who was still empty.

Riana stared at the nano towards the older sister. And Echa could only sigh violently.

"She's my sister, not the bride." Echa speaks very loudly. Like insinuating someone.

Before long, the bride was flanked by Ayanda and Beby out of her throne. Riana did not want to look towards Ziva. It hurt too much for him to see Ziva's happy face.

However, Aksa's eyes were still fixedly looking towards Riana. He did not care about Ziva who was now sitting next to him. Until the ruler rebuked Aksa who was still at home looking at Riana who was sitting down while looking down.

Before the kabul began. Penghulu first gives marriage advice. Riana's ears were as hot as hearing it. He wants to close his ears.

Until the Kabul ijab event began. Penghulu shook Aksa's hand. And Riana's hearing was suddenly deaf. Only the legitimate words Riana could hear. Instantly her tears were dripping. His body was weakly helpless. It was as if his world was shattered into pieces. The grip of Echa's hand made Riana turn towards the sister. Echa shook her head. Welcomed a smile that was hard to decipher by Riana.

Rion immediately approached Riana. He looked at his daughter with pain. Just a meaningful smile Riana gave.

"Big brother," praised Iyan who had now opened his voice.

Riana hugged her sister's body which was now high. "When you're away from Dad. Please take care of me," Pinta Riana. Iyan smiled and nodded steadily.

"Riana" called a woman in a heavy voice. Riana turned to the origin of the voice.

The sad face of someone Riana saw. Although her face was clad in beautiful makeup, sadness was very evident on her face. The woman stretched her hand. And Riana hurriedly hugged the woman's body.

"I'm sorry Mommy, honey. Forgive Mommy," said Ayanda with regret.

"Ri, it's okay, Mom. Ri, fine," Riana replied as she rubbed Ayanda's back.

"I'm sorry Daddy, too, Ri" Gio said.

Riana was confused when Aksa's parents approached her instead. Not approaching Ziva who incidentally wrong their new daughter-in-law.

Riana smiled towards Ayanda and Gio. He clasped the hands of Aksa's parents.

"Mommy and Daddy are not wrong. God does not approve of our relationship. Ri, please don't cry because of Ri. Ri, it's not worth your crying." The words sounded very strong with a very sweet smile. Is Riana's heart that strong?
