Sharing Love: Loving Myself And Herself

Season 2: chapter 47

As their days go by, Azriel is busy with tasks on campus as well as Lucia. While Mentari is busy opening new branches that exist outside the city, many of his customers were now from out of town and Azriel proposed to open a branch there and the idea was responded to by Mentari.

Sure enough, after consulting Azrel and Dawa they also agreed to this, assisted by models from Azriel and also God. Mentari was able to set up a store that was no less large than the store where it is now, again Mentari considers it a debt to both.

Mentari's success made Lucia more upset, he had to be patient he had to wait until his birthday arrived. If on his birthday he still fails to get Azriel, he decides to go home, which will be his last attempt.

Azriel, feeling very confident with Mentari, decides to continue their relationship to a more serious level. He also expressed his intention to both parents and both parents strongly agreed to the wishes of his son. And this is where Azriel is now, she is in the jewelry store with Aisha and her mother, she is choosing a ring. He plans to apply for Mentari.

All of that was also supported by Abidzar, he deliberately booked a place for the application event. Azriel's father knew very well that a special and romantic proposal would work in a woman's heart.

The mentor, who was busy with his new shop, got a message from Azriel, telling her to prepare for dinner tonight.

"Alright, I also happen to have no event tonight," Mentari replied to a message from her lover, Azriel read the message with her heart pounding, she was very happy. He was determined to propose to Mentari tonight. The ring has decided the choice of the three of them.

The night that awaited arrived, not only Azriel who was in the restaurant. But all the families were there too. There was Khanza, Abidzar and also Aisha, Lucia also came. However, he did not know why they all came to the restaurant. He thought it was just an ordinary family dinner. Khanza and Abidzar's family also came.

'Why didn't the show start? Who else was waiting for, Lucia's inner self as they all sat at a table. No one wants to start ordering food.

Lucia continued to pay attention to the surroundings, it seemed like there would be a proposal event at the restaurant, looking orderly and very beautiful. However, he did not bother him, maybe it was another guest show they did not know.

"Sir Mentari has come," said Aisyah who ran over to her brother made Azriel immediately stand up and walk quickly out of nowhere.

The lights suddenly went out making Lucia surprised. However, once the door is open, the floodlight goes directly towards Mentari.

"Don't tell me this is Mentari's proposal?" Lucia shook her head, if it was true that this event was a Mentari proposal event, she would have lost to him.

Mentari was also surprised when the floodlight was directly directed at him, the room in front of him was very dark so he slowly walked and the floodlight continued to follow him, the room in front of him was very dark, the spotlights at the end of the room were also lit and Azriel was standing there.

A small light immediately formed the heart around Azriel and formed a path to the direction where Mentari was standing, the two floodlights that had illuminated them were turned off, making the room pitch-black it was only illuminated by small lights that accompanied Mentari's steps down the lamp towards Azriel. 

Mentari did not know what or who the people in the room were, her eyes were only on Azriel who looked neatly dressed and smiled at him. So good-looking.

'What's this? Does Azriel want to propose to me?' batin Mentari guessed, he several times witnessed his friend in his position when their lover proposed to him. Mentari continued to move forward until he stood right in front of Azriel who was waiting for him. Azriel was wearing a full suit while she was wearing only a simple suit. 

Suddenly Azriel crouched down and handed him a ring box in front of her.

"So, will you marry me?" azriel's words made Mentari smother her mouth, what she had thought was true.a Azriel actually proposed to her.

Without thinking, Mentari nodded, making Azriel develop a smile on her lips, she stood up and immediately paired the diamond ring on the ring finger of Mentari. The lights were on, the sound of thunderous claps was heard throughout the room, Mentari was very surprised and moved. It turned out that in the room there were so many people included on one of the tables there was the large family of Azriel.

"Thank you, Mentari. I promise I will always make you happy," he said making Mentari just nod, at this time he has no one, he only has Azriel as his back, all this time they are only a dating relationship, only, makes Mentari not want to expect much from their relationship. 

However, if their relationship is official as a couple. Mentari felt that he had someone who replaced his mother who was beside him all this time and would always take care of him..

A teardrop fell from the corner of his eye, there was happiness filling the space in his chest, "Mother, I am no longer alone," Mentari's mind could not stem his tears.

When everyone smiled and applauded the welcome of Mentari who received Azriel's statement. Lucia stomped her feet and walked out of the event, not wanting to watch her defeat unfold before her eyes.

Q

"Well, what if our wedding is two weeks from now?" khanza said they agreed, finally the date has been set and the wedding will be done two weeks from the day of the application.

Lucia continued to grumble, she met people who had wanted to work with her all this time. Their plan was still three weeks away, he had to carry out his plan before the marriage of Azriel and Mentari. However, he unwittingly makes the mistake of leaving the restaurant, he becomes disinformed and thinks if maybe they will not get married immediately, he must solidify his plans so that their marriage can be canceled.

News of Mentari's marriage was immediately spread. However, they deliberately kept the date of her wedding as Azriel wished. Somehow he had a bad feeling about Lucia after that night, so the date of the wedding was only known by their close family and would be revealed once the invitation circulated two days before the wedding.

At night Lucia approached Aisyah in her room.

"Aisyah, when is your sister and Mentari's wedding?" he asked because he vaguely heard that their marriage would be accelerated.

"If not wrong next month," replied Aisyah origin.

Hearing that a smile rose on Lucia's lips, she still had a chance to thwart the wedding plans.

Azriel and Mentari also began to do some prewedding photo preparation sessions.

 While Lucia thought that what Ayesha said that night was true, if she still had time. Lucia simply watched them from a distance, smiling meaningfully at their happiness.

"Happy be, I'm sure your happiness will end before it begins" Lucia murmured, always asking someone to spy on both.

All preparations are ready, the building, catering, invitations and some other equipment are ready, two days before the wedding dress event is already in the building where the event will be held, where Mentari will prepare with her wedding dress in the building, there is no special event conducted by the Mentari family considering Mentari only has employees as well as Azriel. He did not hold so many events just a little preparation to welcome their wedding day.

"Is everything ready?" abidzar asked and Azriel nodded. 

"Yes, Dad. Just spread out the invitation," Azriel replied, making Abidzar nod, he took a cell phone and asked the people he had asked to take care of the spread of the invitation. By Azriel's command, the invitation began to spread.

Azriel campus friends and some Mentari friends have received their invitations, as well as employees and other business partners. Invitations have also been spread evenly in the office, all have received the invitation including Lucia.

 Lucia widened her eyes when she saw the wedding date that was two days away.

"No! This can't happen!" muttered Lucia where the plan is still to be implemented in another week, this is not like the plan, making him immediately call someone and change all their plans, he must carry out his plan before the marriage contract takes place.

"Well, we'll arrange it" said someone from behind the phone, just as Lucia turned off her call an incoming call from her mother.

"Lucia, I've got word of Azriel and Mentari's wedding in two days, you're okay, aren't you, son?" ask Farah.

"Yes, it turns out that I heard the wedding, did you want to come?" ask Lucia. 

"Of course, mom will come. I'm leaving today, too" Farah explained.

"Aren't you really papa, son?" asked Farah again who was worried about her daughter, she knew also that her daughter still loved Azriel and was still trying to get the love of the man she loved.

"Yes, Mom. I'm fine, I'm waiting for Mom here, we'll go home together later," Lucia said in a calm tone, making Farah who heard her across the street feel relieved, it seems his son is already aware that his love is only clapping one hand.
