"Hey pretty.. nervous huh?" Sapa Veronica who was now standing loomed before me.

I nodded my head "Even more nervous than when Ijab kabul kemaren.."

"I should have come back at that time.." Said pouting.

"The prayers of you are more than anything, brother..." I said while taking his hand and I sat down beside me.

"Your struggle is finally sweet, I'm happy.. Because I know, Gerry's the best guy who ain't gonna hurt you" a tear fell on his face.

"Given how hard your life has been, this marriage is God's most wonderful gift to you.." Another imbibing.

"And the thing I am most grateful for is having friends and relatives like you, brother, who will accompany me when I am struggling in my life" I said with a hug.

I escaped the tears that I had been holding back from now on, Veronica did know everything about me. How should I fight the pain that always haunts me.

Her advice that I ignore more often, but she still hugs me as I cry because I remember my wounds. And help me deal with every problem that I sometimes find difficult to solve on my own.

"Don't cry, you'll wear your makeup off" Her aura tried to comfort me.

"The famous MUA can't be that bad, brother?" I returned the joke.

Veronica took the tissue from inside her bag and wiped away my tears "You must take care of your beauty, for now all eyes will be on you"

"I'm nervous again, brother.." I whispered a little.

"Why bugup, baby?" Ask Gerry who suddenly went into the room where I was waiting for the event to start.

The white suit worn by Gerry really makes anyone who sees it will be amazed. The body was strapping and the chest of his field was clearly imprinted behind his suit.

"Why are you nervous?" Repeatedly again.

"I'm afraid to make mistakes and embarrass you in front of all the guests.." I said half down.

"And there is Mas. You smile enough to anyone.. It's always beside you" Gerry assured.

"I'm ashamed, I'm just an ordinary woman who.."

"But I love you, I choose you. Don't listen to other people's words that are not good in horror. Let alone.. If you later see how papa is so possessive as Aslan, and introduce Aslan to all his friends, people would think that Aslan is a real child. If you're so happy, why do you have to be nervous?" He said and rubbed my cheeks slowly.

"Thanks to your chin Mel. Your happiness is not someone else's decisive. Don't be nervous, don't be pessimistic" Veronica said.

I nodded confidently. I took a deep breath and took it out slowly. They are right, there is no need to feel small in the presence of others who are not necessarily their lives happier than ours.

"Come out, all the guests are here" said Gerry, who stood up and stretched out his hand to help me stand up.

In his hand and directed to hold his hand that has been bent.

"You are so beautiful, baby.. You managed to be the most shining at this party" Praise Mas Gerry who successfully made my cheeks red.

The simple but still elegant wedding dress chosen by Mas Gerry, which is in line with the suit he now wears also adds to my confidence.

"I'm coming down the back, yeah.." Pamit Veronica to us who broke my daydream "Don't be nervous anymore.. Okay" he said again.

"Surely sis.." Say sure.

When we came out of the room and walked to a staircase that had been installed on a red velvet carpet, the light from the photographer was dazzling. I'm back nervous.

"Quiet darling.. Just smile. Then everything will be fine" whispered Mas Gerry who like to know my nervousness.

But when my eyes look at the flowers that adorn every step of the stairs, also smell the fragrance that makes my heart pound not as fast as before.

When we made it down the stairs that led straight to our shelter, all eyes were on us and clapped loudly.

I circulated my gaze and saw a sight that was very soothing to my heart. True to what was said by Gerry, Aslan was so familiar with papa that he did not want to be separated from papa.

Event after event passed without any obstacles. And the last one is a sungkem event and a photo together. Also congratulate the bride.

But after the sungkem event passed, papa asked permission for the host to speak for a while. We know what Papa will talk about. We talked about it before when we were not married.

The atmosphere turned silent when papa stated that the SS group would be continued by Gerry mas who is the only successor of the 'Soewirdjo' family'.

Of course, papa has not fully retreated, because later he will still be monitored by papa. Papa also implored his business colleagues to want to believe in the ability of Gerry who has been trained to work from below without anyone knowing, that Gerry mas is a subsidiary of the owner of the company. Until they treat him like a regular employee without any privileges.

The sound of applause echoed throughout the building. Many are amazed by the way papa educates Gerry who wants to start studying the company by starting to become an intern until he reaches his current position.

And when the event congratulated the two brides, many of the invited guests of Gerry mas from his company looked clumsy to face him.

"Be ordinary.. I'm so gini" he said more than 100 times to every employee of the company who looks more respectful to him.

I can only hold a smile when I see Gerry mas who looks unwell when shaking hands with employees from his company.

***

Mas Gerry was ceaselessly kissing my lips and smelling *tnya until I was out of breath.

"Your lips ain't pegel mas? Smile all day while talking words that have been like a mantra is the same every employee in your company?" I still say with a broken breath.

"This is precisely the cure, if you don't get medicine later can be swollen" said the man who kissed my lips again.

"It can really make alesan" Cibirku when he managed to escape from the kiss.

"The mallem is Aslan sleeping in papa's house" he said again and mind*h my body.

"Anyway, mas ga will let you sleep this malem. I want to have twins. Eat every chance, we have to overtime" he said, who then began to mumb* me.

"Plis deh thor. should not be the title 'one step closer' but 'tiring umpteenth night'.." Said Caramel who blasphemed Author in heart.

Like & Comment..

Thanks for the vote and the spirit...

In the group chat Author had said long ago author yes, if the novel is about to expire. Some asked to be extended as well, but Author refused. Fear of being bosen because most conflicts 😁

There are only a few episodes to Ending, the smoga ending does not disappoint later.. Don't expect there to be a season 2. Because the author does not like to use season 2 or season 3.. Sorry yes ☺
