Skylar And The Lecturer
44
"In this way, Teon and Skylar are officially engaged.let's be happy for our very friendly couple."
The speech of the host was greeted by a standing ovation from the audience, some were also busy capturing this moment with their respective cell phone cameras.
Photographers and videographers also seem to be busy with their own equipment to get the best images and recordings at this precious moment.
Romantic music is also played so nicely by acoustic bands deliberately chosen by Teon and Skylar to liven up the atmosphere.
Skylar and Teon raised their left hands, showing the engagement ring that had been embedded in each of their ring fingers with a blotchy smile, looking so happy to make the invited guests also feel the sweet happiness that fills the hearts of both.
They were like a pair of young kings and queens of a fairyland, charming every eye that looked at them.
Confetti and balloons in light blue and white are then released by the decoration vendor, making the atmosphere even more festive.
Hand in hand, Teon and Skylar finally got off the stage with smiles that had not faded away.
After all the events are over, the invited guests are directed to enjoy lunch together. Indonesian dishes and various types of heavy Chinese food also appear to be presented so delicious that Teon was curious to enjoy it too.
Starting from processed seafood to meat, everything is available to make the appetite of the invited guests more excited.
"Hello, Jeno. it turns out you are very handsome we can finally meet directly," said Skylar to Jeno after taking Chinese food for Teon from the buffet table.
Hearing such a sweet compliment from her future sister-in-law, Jeno blushed.
"thank you, brother. Jeno was so honored to meet her sister in person."
Skylar smiled widely, nodding later.
He was so amazed that the Teon family did have such amazing visuals - even Mother who was over half a century old still looked so charming in hijab and clothes in line with Teon and Jeno.
"What about your college?" skylar asked Jeno once again, the two seemed equally comfortable interacting with each other making Teon smack not like.
"Of course it's smooth.if at that time I follow the advice of Brother to enter the same university with Brother will certainly be more fun," replied Jeno who had caught Teon's jealous face.
When else could Teon be upset? thought Jeno with a prickly smile clearly on her face.
"Oh, that? too bad, if we are one campus will definitely meet more often."
Teon's face that already looked very grim made Mother and Papa Lucas giggle amusedly.
"Aren't you aware, in the midst of this warm conversation between brother and sister, there's someone burning with jealous flames?" lure Papa Lucas while chuckling.
Mother nodded with excitement.
Everyone laughed, yet Teon could only smile wryly.
"Come on, this is our engagement day why are you making fun of me? at least give your congratulations," said Teon sebal while putting his empty plate in a special basket of dirty dishes that increasingly make people laugh.
Yes, they think when else can prank a Teon Tirdianata if not now?

Jeffrey's phone that continues to vibrate since earlier made the young man wake up from his sleep. A pair of Jeffrey's eyelids ambushed quickly, familiarizing the light that entered into his eyes so as not to glare.
"Argh..." Jeffrey held the back of his head, feeling a tremendous dizzy.
His big fingers massaged slowly his forehead, trying to expel the pain that hit his head. The distinctive aroma of the alcoholic beverage greeted Jeffrey's sense of smell making his consciousness recover completely.
"Maybe it's because I'm drinking too much" he murmured, trying to get up from the starry hotel's king-size mattress with great difficulty.
With a staggering step, Jeffrey grabbed the glass and filled it with cold mineral water from the refrigerator.
The tall man then took a sitting position facing the window with a glass of water in his hand, looking straight out the window of the luxurious hotel room trying to rethink the things that he has recently done because he has not fully accepted the fact that Skylar does not love him and instead chose Teon sang lecturers.
Jeffrey took a deep breath, realizing that the action he had chosen so far was childish especially he got into the dark abyss of the night world.
"I shouldn't have done it in the first place, why should I waste money just for a moment's pleasure like this."
His relationship with Ririn was in accordance with what Skylar had said, a very toxic walk where the woman is always stubborn and just wants to win alone makes Jeffrey finally even more frustrated instead of feeling happy.
Although in a semi-conscious state, Jeffrey last night released all his heart to Ririn but the woman still did not want to budge, making Jeffrey decided to leave the toxic relationship. Truly, he was already completely unable to bear and wanted to return to his old life so relaxed and happy with the laughter with his best friend who always had a positive impact.
Jeffrey chugged the water in his glass, grabbed his phone to see what had made his phone vibrate.
Jemari Jeffrey quickly accesses the short message app, found a chat group consisting of himself and his friends was full of beautiful photos of Skylar side by side with Teon complete with a beautiful circular engagement ring on the girl's lentic ring finger.
"It's so pretty, why I with his bag instead choose to drink to heavy drunk than seeing the engagement event Skylar yes," lamented Jeffrey with a sad eye.
The group participants also continued to ask Jeffrey whereabouts since this morning, but Jeffrey was not even aware of himself due to too much drinking last night. The man was more regretful but could not do much, he could only look at the photos sent by his friends who were present at the engagement event Skylar and Teon earlier.
The twilight bed that had dominated the sky that afternoon made Jeffrey's heart feel even more gray, sad for two different things.
But what to say, there is nothing else Jeffrey can do but make peace with the current situation even though it feels painful.
"If I had been more courageous to say everything was the same Skylar, but now there's nothing else I can do but accept this reality freely."
