Secrets of the Former (Love Left Behind)

Four

Shanessa was just as shocked as Nevan when she heard the news of the engagement for five more days. The difference is, he panicked because he had not prepared anything.

"Papa has said, ask your opinion first, but Aunt Tiwi insists you must agree" Ardi explained.

"Oh my goodness, Pa. MUA subscriptions I can't. How, any?" Shanessa looked at her phone in panic. Apparently he was busy calling here and there.

Ardi snorted, then took a cell phone and contacted someone, while Shanessa watched carefully.

"Where, baby?"

Next to Shanessa's eyebrows raised, confused.

"Immediately let you know if there are obstacles, yes."

"Huum. Careful."

"Emang Dance can make up, Pa?" Shanessa asked impatiently.

Ardiman. "Who's looking for a makeup artist? Papa just wants to know the news of Papa's son, really."

Shanessa pursed her lips, making the papa chuckle.

"Eat him do not often tell Tari out of town. Every week there must be a job that makes him work outside. Papa is worried too."

Ardiman confirmed the location of his glasses. "He who will," he then wrote.

In this case, Shanessa knows the discussion will be heavy. So, he changed the subject. Not that he didn't care, but he hadn't dared to determine on whom he would side with.

"Just like the time of my show, Dance should be there."

Ardiman smiled, then nodded in agreement.

"Pa?"

"Hm?"

Shanessa's gaze turned serious. Made Ardiman raise next to his eyebrows suspiciously.

"What?" Soft question.

"The matter of Nevan's past..." Shanessa's words were floating in the air and Ardiman knew very well if the child refused to continue.

Ardiman shifted his body towards Shanessa and grabbed the princess's shoulders. "As you once said, all decisions are in your hands." Ardiman smiled warmly, then continued, "If you don't have a problem, then for papa it doesn't."

Shanessa's lips trembled before finally forming a relieved smile, then scattering tightly into her dear papa's arms.

Five days passed. Nevan doesn't even remember that her mother didn't remind her to take the order ring. Everything was my mother's business, except the engagement ring.

At the residence Ardiwinata, has been seen busy and panic since dawn. Catering and ART waitresses took over the bustle, while panic became Shanessa's part.

The clothes that he had initially believed were the most perfect for use at special events, suddenly became unattractive today.

"Honey, this is only attended by nuclear families, really. Your pakde family in Jogja, Young grandfather, same few children," said Ardiman pacified.

He forgot that Shanessa wasn't that easy to conquer.

"Dance, let me go to the mall, yuk," whined Shanessa while shaking her cousin's body.

Gantari grimaced, glancing briefly at the uncle for help. Although, the event is still later in the afternoon, but to the mall and shopping impromptu is not the right idea.

"You're beautiful, Shaness. Wear anything suitable." Gantari cupped her palms to Shanessa's cheeks, then continued, "Again, take responsibility by your own choice."

Shanessa lowered her head. Yes, this dusty pink kebaya was indeed his choice yesterday. He remembers falling in love with this modern kebaya at first sight and preparing all the accessories to match as a complement.

"Just believe in your choice" said Gantari.

From behind, Ardiman gently rubbed Gantari's hair. Smiling proudly at the niece who seemed to have managed to restore the princess' confidence.

For him, Gantari was precious. The daughter of his biological brother has been considered as his own child since seeing little Gantari born.

At 14:30 WIB Shanessa smiled at the results of her makeup. Modern kebaya with dusty pink brucat tops that dangle until the thighs are combined with brown batik pull and modern style hair styled with sparkling pinch sweeteners make Shanessa justify the word Gantari, he must believe in his choice.

His chest pounded. Today a new chapter of his relationship with Nevan is about to begin. Several times he seemed to catch his breath. Not done yet, he was already nervous like this, Shanessa chuckled to herself. Then, his mind was fixed on someone, Gantari. He immediately walked to Gantari's room with peach-colored high heels.

When the door opened, as Shanessa thought Gantari was not in the room, she pulled out her phone and tried to contact her cousin. Not lifted.

Shanessa immediately opened the WhatsApp app and typed in a short message.

"If you don't exist. I'll cancel everything."

Check list two.

However, it is not blue, but who cares. Because Shanessa knew very well that the message had already been read. The arrangement of the model so emang will be used as a mainstay for humans males pleasantries.

"Don't childish."

"You know me better."

"I have important business. Congratulations and sorry."

"You know me best." Shanessa retyped the same answer. Then, get out of Gantari's room.

Fifteen minutes later, Gantari had appeared at home in a long-sleeved black T-shirt, jeans, sneaker shoes, and baseball cap that made Shanessa roll her eyeballs.

"Welcome to get married, is this the style?"

"Infiancee" errat Gantari.

"The engagement was a step before the wedding," decak Shanessa paled. " Quick shower. I put my clothes on the bed. I'm like our married couple, right?" Syndicate Shanessa.

Gantari turned around lazily and headed for the room as per instructions.

"Don't try wearing another shirt. You know me, right?" shanessa said casually as she blew her nails.

The figure threatened, grumbling indistinctly, but he continued his steps towards the room.

***

Pakde and his wife have been coming since morning. She is the only sister of Shanessa's late mother and she will later become the family representative to welcome Nevan's family.

Bude Sri unceasingly praised the beauty of the nephew and always by Shanessa's side.

The young grandfather was present with Hilman, his youngest son. This young grandfather is grandfather's youngest brother. He is very excited and slang at his age, understand former rocker.

"Diyan!" The young grandfather shouted, then approached to embrace the new grandson coming down the stairs.

Gantari grimaced because now she was the object of everyone's attention. Thank you for the voice of the young Grandpa.

"Beautiful, crazy, you're Dihyan!"

O Allah. Couldn't Grandpa's volume be reduced a little. "Beautiful or crazy, huh, cake?"

Grandpa young wettest. Gantari grabbed grandfather's hand and kissed him. "Little cigarettes. Grandpa's hands aren't good to kiss."

Young grandfather glancing. "That cigarette is like my grandfather's Juliet. How could Romeo live without his Juliet."

Gantari grunting alone made the young grandfather giggle again.

"But you're really pretty, you know. Fortunately it does not look like Irawan," whispered the young grandfather amused himself. Then with his chin raised and chest in the squares he prepared his arms for Gantari to sit on. Luckily Gantari was sensitive, so she immediately took a look at the arm of the only man who could make her behave like a Dihyan.

As Shanessa has wawanti-wanti, if the costume has been provided, then today Gantari appears feminine. He appeared with a simple pastel-knee-length mini dress, natural makeup, calm red lipstick and nude high heels. The curly hair he let down made Gantari worthy of being the main character's arch rival in today's show.

Everyone laughed inexhaustibly at the manner of the young grandfather. Grandpa Ardiwinata looked at them. There is a sad highlight as well as envy to see the scene.

Om Hilman comes to tell if the awaited arrive. Three cars had entered the courtyard and several members of the Ardiwinata family were already standing on the terrace welcoming their arrival. Shanessa came forward and greeted the family of the future priest shyly. Aunt Tiwi never once praised the beauty of the future daughter-in-law, while Fauzan, Nevan's father, also appeared present and smiled warmly. Shanessa is more often abroad.

Nevan comes with a formal dressing. This time he wore batik with cloth pants and neatly combed hair. Pantofel shoes add a handsome impression on him. Actually, wearing any model clothes is suitable for Nevan who does have a level body and white skin. Suppose he diligently smiled, we can see if in fact the handsome man had dimples.

The pleasantries have already been done in their perfunctory manner. Nevan's family is also welcome to enter the room that has been provided. Om Fuzan and Om Ardi seem to be asking each other for news. Aunt Tiwi took a gab at Shanessa's arm and chuckled, but her laughter stopped at once upon seeing one of the figures already waiting inside the living room, Gantari. His face pias, he removed his hand from Shanessa's arm. No one noticed Nevan's mother's change in appearance.

Before the core event started, Tiwi begged permission to go to the bathroom. He turned the door knob with trembling hands. His heart is pumping, he doesn't want the day to fall apart. He squeezed out the end of his danger and immediately came out from there after exhaling a powerful breath.

His steps stopped, when he found Bi Tarti. Nervously, he asks Bi Tarti to call Gantari and wait for her on the side porch of the house.

Before long Gantari came out with an ordinary face. Small eyes, but with a sharp look, he blurs accidentally. Her little lips are still clenched. Not intending to start.

"Why are you here?" Hiss Tiwi.

Gantari still refused to speak. His distinctive gaze was so frightening that it secretly made Tiwi shiver in her hubris.

"Don't ruin my son's life again" he said sharply.

Seringai appeared in Gantari's lips to make his interlocutor's breath choked.

"Listen to it, I became interested," Gantari replied calmly.

Tiwi's fist turned into a powerful slap on Gantari's cheek. Gantari was still unmoved, but the look of her eyes grew darker.

Someone came at a quick pace and gripped Tiwi's hand. Too strong, until the woman with navy was grimacing.

"Nevan?" Sizzle Tiwi couldn't believe it.

Across the street, Gantari grinned again. He lifted his head, making the strands of hair that had been covering as his face left.

"The cheap lady pretended to be Shanessa's best friend to bother you again!"

Nevan straightened her body. His eyes still refused to look at Gantari. Although Gantari's memories are not good in his brain, but hearing the word "cheap" makes him not like. "He's the granddaughter of the Ardiwinata family," his his hiss was sharp.

Nevan's words just made the mother take a step back. He shakes in disbelief. Wanted to argue back, but the son had already pulled him away.
