Sensational Substitute Husband

Day H Wedding Reception

Finally the day that Kenan and Fara were waiting for arrived as well. The day that the world will know their relationship as a legal husband and wife in the eyes of law and religion. But it is also an international day of heartbreak, where the majority of women must be dashed by their hopes to be able to be with the man they admire and crave, Naufal Kenan. Especially for a girl who is currently sitting in the front row with her father, as an invited guest of Kenan and Fara's wedding reception. Who else if not Gabela.

"Patience Nak. Relief of Kenan and Fara, his wife. If you really love Kenan, you should be happy to see him happy. And now is the time. Look, Kenan looks so happy, right!" Berhan rubbed a gentle swipe of Gabela's back, but his gaze kept on the main stage of the reception where Kenan and Fara sat side by side with smiles of happiness that continued to be imprinted on each other's lips.

Gabela was silent a thousand languages did not respond to Berhan's words. His gaze also continued to be fixed on Kenan and Fara on the main stage of the reception. His eyes reddened with glass - glass with clear circles that had been piled up in his eye fertilizers. His chest felt very tight and painful. The scene he was witnessing really made his heart break to pieces like glass that was hit by a very hard impact.

"Remember son, love must be free. If you can't, it's not love, it's an obsession. You love Kenan, don't you obsess? If it's an obsession, you better give up from now on. If not, then only destruction will you find in the end." Berhan continued to rub - gently rub Gabela's back while trying to give understanding to her daughter in order to accept the reality. He really didn't want to find Gabela more broken than this.

Finally, the tears that had been trying to hold Gabela, also poured down the river wet her cheeks. "Hiks... But it hurts, Dad. Gaby can't afford to keep Kenan from belonging to another woman. Hix... Gaby's supposed to be there with Kenan. What's the lack of Gaby, Dad? Why isn't Gaby there? Hiks.." he began to sob and complain of not accepting.

"It's not about what you lack, or how good you are. But it's about fate and soul mate, son, it's been determined. No matter how hard you hope and try, if Kenan is not destined for you, then you will not be fooled." Berhan said wisely while embracing Gabela who was successfully made silenced and sobbing.

While on the main stage of the reception, Kenan and Fara have begun to welcome the guests who flocked to give a happy wedding. So Farzan and Ayudia, who were also on stage not far from Kenan and Fara's position, took part in welcoming guests as parents and guardians who accompanied their daughter's son.

As expected, very many guests attended Kenan and Fara's wedding reception. Even Berhan and Gabela who were at the forefront of the guest ranks - important guests, had to queue far enough to congratulate Kenan and Fara.

"Huf... It was finally my turn." Berhan mend*sah before shaking Kenan's hand. Finally after about 15 minutes in line, it was also his turn. "Congratulations Ken, I always wish you all the best" he said with a sincere smile later.

"Thank you Prof, Kenan also always wishes the best for Prof." Kenan replied smiling sincerely as well.

Then Berhan turned to Fara, while Gabela, who had been following behind her father, came to congratulate Kenan. He no longer sobbing, but his eyes are still red plus eye bags are slightly swollen.

Kenan who saw it, can faintly guess the cause of the state of Gabela like that. 'Sorry Gaby, I hope after this you no longer hope for me and seek your true love.' Her inner being is hopeful while feeling a little guilty and pity for Gabela. While continuing to put a smile of happiness on her lips, she greeted and shook Gabela's hand.

"Congratulations Ken." That's all that said from Gabela's lips while smiling forcefully.

"Thank you Gaby, I hope you also soon find your life partner." Kenan replied sincerely.

Gabela knew, in the words of Kenan also implied that he stopped hoping for Kenan. Indeed, he also wanted it, but he could not control his heart that was too imprinted on Kenan. For 9 years, only he himself knew how deeply Kenan's name was embedded in his heart. It would be ill-fated if he finally had to abort the seed of love that he had planted during that time. Can he? Will it? Gabela asked - ask yourself.

Unable to deny, Kenan who saw the bitterness in Gabela's smile, felt more guilt and pity. But he knows he can't do anything about it and can't eat it. Then forcefully but gently released the hand of Gabela who seemed not to want to let go of their hands. "I'm sorry, if you still read the congratulations you want to say, you should be in person later. Other guests are in line for too long" he suggested quibbling while being as natural as possible.

Gabela could only resignedly regret the position of their hands regardless and obey Kenan's advice. He turned to Fara who had also just finished being congratulated by Berhan. Whether what congratulations Berhan gave to Fara, both himself and Kenan did not know because they were more focused on themselves to ignore the surrounding.

"Congratulations Fara." said Gabela flatly, no forced smile like the one she wore while observing Kenan just now.

"Thank you Gaby." but Fara replied sincerely while continuing to smile happily like Kenan.

That's all, there were no more words spoken from the lips of Fara and Gabela until they both let go of their hands. Very brief.

Then Berhan and Gabela continued to recite Farzan and Ayudia before stepping off the stage and returning to their original seats. While Kenan and Fara, continue their busy activities to welcome other guests.

Time keeps passing. It does not feel 3 hours have been the wedding reception Kenan and Fara which has so far run smoothly without obstacles. The event, which began after the Ashar prayer, now breaks the isoma into the Maghrib prayer time, and will continue after the Isha prayer later. Kenan and Fara and the invited guests performed the Maghrib prayer first, for the Muslims, before joining the non-Muslims, dinner together while relaxing and resting to gather energy to continue the event.

2 Hours later...

Kenan, Fara, Farzan and Ayudia are back on the stage to occupy their respective positions as before. Guests have returned in line in droves - leaning up on stage to congratulate. Accompanying the diving and diving event, the chants of romantic classic songs echoed from the available MP3 player speakers, which are available, meet the hotel ballroom is very spacious with a magnificent decoration according to the wedding concept of choice Fara.

Yes, for Fara this is very magnificent, not knowing the opinions of the guests who mostly come from the upper elite among the terelite. Fara does not care what they think, whether bad, good, or ordinary, he does not care. He was so satisfied with the concept of his choice that he did not care about others. Especially with Kenan who was with her as her husband, all of that was more than enough for her.

As for Kenan, he did not care at all about the decorations or anything. For him, enough Fara who was with him as his wife, and he felt really equipped without feeling the slightest lack.

While in one corner of the room, mingling with the other guests, there was a pair of eyes that kept fixed on Fara with a gaze full of hatred and malice. With just a glance people can immediately know that she is a woman, based on his appearance wearing a kebaya as well as a long black hood in tune that one of his poles used to cover part of his lower face.
