A few days after that..
Leni has never heard the conversation of her parents related to her marriage or even asked how her relationship with the man developed.
He also tried to accept the fact that he and Excell were not a match and would slowly forget his feelings for the man, although heavy but he was sure if it was something good for himself.
"okay.. Let's move on !" His determination was to open his heart to another man. Someone who will make him forget about Excell.
That Sunday morning, Leni woke up excitedly. He planned to spend this holiday by taking a walk to the mall or going to the beach. He immediately cleaned himself up and after being ready with his casual suit, he headed to Nayla's room to take the girl.
But a call diverted him.
"Leni, let's get down breakfast together !" Call mama Delia.
"Yes ma !"
Leni went down the stairs to the dining table, where Nayla was looking at her strangely.
"Len, your wedding date has been set, 3 more weeks !" Mama Delia.
The speech immediately stopped Leni's hand that was about to scoop her fried rice, she turned to look at mama Delia with a gaping face.
"Eh, my marriage is the same as who !"
"Yes same Excellent, same who else !"
"But ma.......!"
"But what ?"
"I mean in a hurry !"
"Faster is better and tonight the family of Excell will come to do your engagement !"
"MUAHHHH !"
Hearing that Leni glared her eyes in disbelief. He turned to look at Nayla who just stared grimacing at him, Leni had told him all about the speech of Excell including Leni's intention to forget her feelings for Excell.
"So Nayla, you accompany Leni to find a dress that suits Leni tonight !" Delia's mother orders him to hand over a credit card to Nayla.
"Yes ma !" Nayla according.
"Len, the engagement tonight is simple. Only the nuclear family is present, it is important that our intentions are good later if your wedding reception later mom and dad will make a lively one !" Clearly mama Delia realized Leni's face of shock.
"I'm just surprised ma, because it's sudden. I guess in a few months !" Kilah Leni tried to smile.
"It's okay, like you said, the sooner the better !" Mama Delia smiled warmly making Leni did not dare to refute the words of the mother.
"I... Yes ma !"
"Oh yeah, we're leaving now !" Take Nayla to see Leni has finished her breakfast.
The two depart, Nayla drives while occasionally glancing at the flat-faced Leni.
"Are you happy or not ?" Nayla's.
Leni glanced at him with a drawn look.
"Of course not. Free to marry the same man he likes but if his heart for others who must be miserable too !" Leni's words make Nayla goatee.
"Yes udh Len, just tell your mom papa if you don't want to be fooled by the same Excellent. I'll meet my handsome friends !" Nayla enthusiastic.
"It's like that too, but don't be Nay, I don't dare to argue papa mama !" Sissy leni.
Both were silent until the car entered the boutique area of Delia's mama subscription.
They began to walk around, staring in awe at the beautiful dresses that were there made the two amazed.
"Len, that's a good one !" Appoint Nayla on a pink sleeveless dress that looks luxurious.
Leni stared at the dress that Nayla meant, it was indeed very good but not her taste made the girl shake her head.
"If that one !" Pointing yes to Sabrina's model dress with a lacy skirt below the knee made Leni frown, she shook her head again.
"If it's that, that one, it's the same one ?" Point Nayla on a different color dress with different motifs but does not leave a luxurious impression that only answered by Leni's headband.
"What kind of crus do you want ?" The horn of Nayla had appeared so upset to Leni.
Seeing Nayla who had glared ferociously made Leni grin.
"What you pointed at was too open !" Leni's light made Nayla grunt.
The two went back around with Nayla no longer making a sound.
Until, Leni was amazed at a long-sleeved, cream-colored dress that tightly closed the shoulder area with a fairly wide skirt, it looks simple but very elegant with a choice of luxurious fabrics and jewel ornaments on the chest make him instantly fall in love.
"I want this Nay !" Appointing Leni to the beige dress made Nayla sigh, which was like it was suitable for Leni.
"okay !" Nayla asked one of the employees to get the dress and pointed at the dress she wanted. The two tried on each other's dresses in the dressing room. After fitting them towards the cashier pays for the dress.
While waiting, Netra Leni caught someone who had just entered the boutique, she remembered him, the girl she had seen the other day with Excell.
Tasya walked with a haughty look and stopped at the pink dress that Nayla had pointed at earlier, looking so amazed at the dress and did not take long to take the dress.
BRUISES. An employee who was carrying a pile of cloth accidentally hit Tasya.
"Where's taro eyes ?" Tasya's snapping with glaring eyes made Leni and Nayla surprised.
"I'm sorry brother, I didn't accidentally !" The employee was respectful.
"That's why if the eyes are used !" Snapped Tasya again loudly.
"Surge !" Tasya pushed the rude employee who was about to make a sound until the girl lurched backwards almost to smash into the cash register if Leni and Nayla did not hold her body.
"Sorry, thank you !" The girl held back a cry as she looked down respectfully and immediately passed from there.
"It's none of your business !" Twist Tasya harder.
The two girls glare at each other, Leni again wants to reply to Tasya's words but Nayla holds him back, coding if they are now the material of attention makes Leni succumb.
Still with a haughty mimic Tasya towards the cashier, put a rough credit card on the table that makes anyone who sees it sort the chest.
Leni and Nayla grabbed each other's paperbags and passed from there. Upon entering the car, suddenly a meaningful smile fell on Leni's lips.
"I'm better than him !" His whisper to Nayla which initially made the girl confused but the next second he shook his head.
*****
In the evening, Leni stared at her reflection in the mirror, now she has changed 180° from usual, now looks very beautiful with the polish of expert hand makeup. But a smile looks at him, contemplating his fate that will lead a new life with a man who does not love him.
"Len, let's get down. The Excell Family is near !" Nayla tilts her head. Leni nodded and followed Nayla down.
"You are so beautiful, dear !" Mama Delia was amazed to see Leni's simple but very elegant appearance with a makeup polish that exuded a beautiful herself.
"Thank you ma !" Leni hugged Mama Delia tightly and then smiled at everyone who was there.
They also chatted lightly about Leni's wedding plans later.
"What kind of wedding do you want ?" Ask mama Delia.
"Eh, sorry. Leni doesn't know ma. Leni goes along just as she wants papa and mama !" Leni nervous.
"Hm.. Alright. Good thing the concept of a fairy tale country and you wear a princess dress !" The mother seemed to imagine her thoughts made Leni smile amusedly.
"Ih, that's like lebay deh ma. It's better that garden party with lots of flowers !" Nayla disagrees.
"That's what's more !" Deny the mother directly.
The mother and son argue over Leni's concept of marriage when the sound of a car entering the yard.
Papa and mama turned their heads and went to greet his guests, while Leni just fell silent waiting for the family of Excell to enter the house.
Upon seeing the family about to enter, Leni immediately moved from her seat with Nayla and gave a sweet smile to her prospective family.
"Geez, you're so beautiful baby !" Mama Evelin said amazed by the appearance of the bright but elegant Leni.
"Thank you Auntie !" Leni smiled shyly let alone all of the Excell family looking at her in admiration.
Excellent did not blink an instant to see the prospective fiancee that made his feelings not careless.
"Come sit down !" Papa Amir's words allow guests to sit on a sofa that has been rearranged to fit in many people.
Leni tried to ease her nervousness as she sat down right next to Excell. He tried to neutralize his heartbeat by keeping his head down.
"Finally we can host this event as well, although it is simple but it feels a relief !" Mama Delia.
"Eh, not yet jeng. Later if they are married then they can be relieved !" Denied mama Evelin.
"Oh yeah, really jer !" The two women laughed.
"Yes, so as not to waste time how about we start exchanging the rings !" Papa Rio said.
"Oh yes, it is !" Greet papa Amir.
Mama Evelin took out a small ring box from her bag and handed it to Excell. The guy grabbed it and opened it. Leni was amazed to see a white ring with a white diamond in it.
Excellent took the diamond-studded ring and then grabbed Leni's hand, pinned the beautiful ring on the finger of the beautiful girl in front of him to make Leni look more beautiful.
And now it's Leni's turn to pin the other ring on Excell's finger. When he managed to pin it, there was a sense of happiness that could not be prevented to burst in his heart making him look up at the face of Excel who was also staring at him. The man then stared fixedly at the ring that had been embedded in him with a flat look.
"May their relationship last until the wedding day and until they are old like us !" Mama Delia.
"Amen !" Welcoming everyone made Leni smile wryly, she slightly glanced towards the loyal Excell flat-faced.
"Then, let's enjoy the dish !" Papa Amir said seeing the waiters were ready to arrange many delicious foods at the dining table
The parents enjoyed their dinner with small talk about the concept of their second marriage.
After dinner, Leni and Excell head to the back garden near the pool. The parents asked them to get to know each other.
Both of them sat on the edge of the pool with a view of the night sky studded with many stars.
"I thought our wedding plans were off, why did we suddenly get engaged ?" Leni's question broke the silence between them.
"Have you told your papa mama ?" Excellent behind the question.
"Sorry brother, I don't dare argue with papa's mom. So this cancellation I'm waiting for from Excell's brother who canceled !" Leni's reply made Excell turn to her and look at the girl's serious face.
"So ?" Ask Leni again.
"I can't fight papa's mama anymore. Moreover, papa, he is very fierceiiiiiii trus if his eyes get angry like he wants to come out !" Clearly Excell with an anxious expression made Leni laugh.
Excell remembers being so upset when he expressed his desire to cancel his wedding plans but the old man instead threatened to fire him from the company, would evict him from the house and remove his name from the inheritance list. Papa Rio threatened with visible veins on his neck made Excell frightened also saw him mimic the face of his creepy father plus his threat made him finally comply even with a very upset heart.
Excellent glanced at Leni who was still laughing, staring fixedly at the girl while wondering what special this girl was until both parents insisted on wanting her as a daughter-in-law.
Indeed he admitted this girl is beautiful and even tonight looks amazing make him momentarily forget Tasya.
"Eh, sorry. I didn't expect Rio to be all that good when it looked so good !" Leni's words disperse the excellent daydream.
"Yes, but if the same child himself he will turn into a blood-sucking dracula. Wuih, just horrified !" Excellent shuddered to make Leni's laughter firmer than before making Excell also laugh.
After laughing, the two fell silent for a moment. Shift your eyes at the clouds in the night sky.
"So, how will our relationship be if we're married ?" Leni asked seriously to make Excell speechless not knowing what to answer.
Both drift in erratic thoughts.
