"Mother..! The arka..!"
Audi was completely shocked to see her mother and future husband beside her.
"Mom, Arka. This is Rinaya, my future wife."
Rinaya immediately came forward and reached out her hand to greet and kiss her mother Audi's hand, then changed hands shaking hands with Arka. He smiled sincerely. Andi followed suit after Rinaya.
"What a beauty to your future wife, Andi. When are you getting married?"
Audi's mother smiled in admiration as she rubbed Rinaya's head slowly.
"Next month we're getting married. Please pray the blessing, ma'am."
Andi answered Audi's mother's question politely. But his answer made Audi shocked along with his sudden feeling of tightness and sadness. He looked at Andi trying to find the truth of what she had just said.
"Later we'll send you an invitation for Mom. May Mother, Audi and Arka please be present at our wedding."
Andi looked at Rinaya who was silent beside her. His hand moved slowly but surely, gently embracing the shoulder of his future wife.
Audi was still watching the two people standing close to him. In her heart she admired Rinaya's beauty and gentleness.
"Please sit down, Mom. Arka. Sorry I stayed a while." Rinaya.
After the guest sat down which Andi also followed, Rinaya walked towards the booking table. Then he went into the kitchen and helped the cafe employees to prepare treats for Andi's guests.
While at the previous table, Arka sat next to Audi. He looked at his future wife with love. There was not the slightest bit of disappointment or anger at the attitude of Audi who was still chasing and meeting Andi.
He truly loves and loves Audi. Even if his love is unrequited, he will remain by Audi's side, accompanying him, guarding and protecting him.
"Where do you know I'm here, Ka?" Ask Audi.
"I always know wherever you go, Di." Answer Arka calmly.
"When you saw and chased Andi in the hospital that day, I knew it too." Arka.
Audi turned towards Arka, he was startled. Arka always followed him. Not to interfere with his affairs or to restrain him, but to guard him. Suddenly guilt broke out in his heart. She felt guilty for often ignoring Arka who had the status of her future husband.
Ever since Andi dodged her and walked away after Arka proposed to her two years ago, Audi has been trying to be kinder and open her heart to receive Arka completely.
She can't lie to herself, she also loves her childhood friend Arka. The same love that Arka felt for her. Arka was her first love, when she was a school teenager.
But that breakup and her encounter with Andi made her feel another love. Heart's double. Loving others without forgetting their old love.
Audi feels he has the love of Arka, but he is still trying to get the love of Andi. A very selfish love. Want to have another love but do not want to lose the previous love.
Arka doesn't know that. He knows all about Audi. He didn't want to blame Audi because he also realized that their breakup had kept him away from Audi before he had time to express his feelings for his little girl.
Andi himself was deliberately away from Audi's life, so that the woman he considered as a sister was no longer chasing him and demanded love from him. Moreover, Audi already has a prospective husband, Arka. But occasionally he still contacts Arka just asking about his relationship with Audi.
"Andi, I'm sorry for Audi's attitude today. Please forgive him. I also feel bad about your future wife."
Audi's mother's meek voice broke the silence at the table, where everything was dissolving in each other's minds.
"It's okay, Mom. I am also happy to be reunited with Mom and Arka. I'm sorry I never visited again."
Andi always paid respect to anyone older than him, whether he knew it or not. Moreover, he in front of him is the mother of the woman who once filled his heart.
Again he remembered Aulia. Memories of the good old days with him. That's all it is. Not because of the lingering taste or longing that is still approaching. For now, everything he has in himself has been fully given to his beloved woman, his beloved future wife, Rinaya.
Andi's eyeballs move in search of Rinaya's whereabouts. And as if being a matchmaker, Rinaya emerged from the kitchen carrying a tray of drinks and some cookies.
"Let's Mom, Audi, Arka, please enjoy the potluck."
Politely and kindly Rinaya invites his guests to enjoy the dishes he prepared from the cafe outlets.
Mom immediately picked up her drink and tasted some small cakes. Arka also took one drink and gave it to Audi who was still sculpting with his own mind.
"This, Di. Drink."
Audi's two eyes blinked instantly, awakened from his daydream about Arka. He looked at Arka who was still staring at him and thrust a drink glass for him. There was a sense of haru enveloping his heart, realizing Arka's never ending concern for him.
"Thank you, Ka."
He received a glass from Arka's hand. For a moment their hands touched. Audi felt a strange tremor in his heart. A subtle sigh he had never felt before.
Suddenly he acted nervous and lowered his warming face, avoiding Arka's gaze at him. Arka smiled watching the wrong Audi.
After enjoying the dishes served, Mother, Audi and Arka say goodbye to go home. They all shake hands. Andi and Rinaya kiss the hands of Audi's mother.
Mother walked out first, followed by Arka who took Audi's hand. Audi was silent and did not reject it. Andi and Rinaya follow them all and drive them into Arka's car. Audi also joined Arka and mother, because she had come using an online taxi.
After Arka's car passed, the two of them entered the cafe. Rinaya saw the cafe employees had started cleaning the table they occupied earlier. Rinaya thanked them, then went inside Dinda's room to pick up her bag and cell phone there.
Andi also entered following his future wife. He looked at Rinaya who was picking up her bag and cell phone, and tidied up Dinda's room before they left.
As Rinaya finished and turned towards the door, Andi pulled her hand and hugged her body tightly. Rinaya resigned and returned the embrace of her future husband. He spread his head over the man's chest, and more and more tightly wrapped his arms around Andi.
Actually, he wanted to do it all the time. Hugging Andi and releasing all the burdens of his heart in the most comfortable place, in the warm embrace of the beloved heart.
"Thank you, Yes. I love you so much."
Andi kissed Rinaya's head gently and long. Rinaya felt the kiss, it felt so warm and loving. He smiled happily in Andi's arms.
