7 Years later...
One two years passed it felt like everything changed a lot, up to 7 years with a lot of changes but one person's feelings remained the same as yesterday. High School graduation photo with a bouquet of flowers and next to it a graduation photo in a Roman building. Couples who are currently starting to explore time by staying together, traveling many stories from various places, until finally being at the starting point of life is actually marriage.
The beautiful woman in a white dress dangled to the floor smiling in front of the camera who several times took pictures of her before the wedding ceremony took place. It felt nervous, the first and last time he was going to get married, with a man who was always in the shadow of his future.
“Mother!.” A little boy about 7 years old wearing a soft pink dress approached her and hugged her tightly.
“Ele..”
“So kak Bara nosy bun.”
“Iya? Later mother says let's not nosy again.”
The little girl named Eleanor saw the beautiful face of the woman she had called Mother all this time, Chatrina Omega Thiga, was not a surrogate mother for the girl but she always tried her best to give love to her. Erika's face was attached to her, making Chatrina unable to distinguish even her Eleanor, not Erika.
“Why are you crying?.” Eleanor touched Chatrina's soft cheeks with a sad face.
“No, mother no cry, Eleanor beautiful.”
“Mother is more beautiful, later if Ele is already big, want to wear a gini kayak dress as well, same as mother.”
Chatrina nodded but still could not hold back her tears that escaped to her cheeks, the door opened, there Chatrina saw, Adrian, the father who would accompany Chatrina at the altar to meet her future husband.
“Ele, was grandma nyariin.”
“Iya? Granny nyebelin!.” Eleanor seems annoyed, but she keeps throwing smiles at Chatrina “Mother, don't cry anymore huh, Eleanor is going to granny's place.”
Chatrina nodded and smiled at Eleanor, letting her leave the bridal room.
Chatrina's relationship with her father improved after she returned from London completing her studies, it was like Chatrina could not continue to hate others because of Erika's death, because it was the path God gave her.
“How do you feel, Papa did not expect that papa would let you go.”
Chatrina just smiled knot.
“Sorry papa who can't be a good parent for you, for Erika too.”
“Chatrina I'm sorry about everything, and for Erika she should have forgiven papa and aunt Mayang, at least I thank you for taking good care of Eleanor and growing up to be a warm girl.”
Adrian nods “Eleanor similar to Erika, she has a strong will, only Eleanor can still give in.”
“Really? I'm glad to hear it.”
“You nervous?.” Her father's question made Chatrina turn her head before the altar door opened.
Chatrina nodded, Adrian began to tighten his hands holding Chatrina “Like welcoming you to be in the world, papa is also very nervous, papa happy, happy, but also afraid if not able to take good care of you. In fact it is like that, but this marriage is different, you can be a perfect person, a wife and will later become a good mother. Papa is very sure about it.”
Her father's words made Chatrina calm, the altar door opened, Eleanor and Bara were in front of her sprinkling flowers. Adrian just drove Chatrina to the front door, he started walking himself to the front. Chatrina's gaze was fixed on a man wearing a white tuxedo with flowers in his left pouch.
Algaleo Thomas Alpha Edison, the man who managed to take half his life became very happy. The man who was currently shedding tears even cried in front of all the guests when he saw his bride walking towards him. Chatrina smiled sweetly, she smiled but she also shed tears of happiness.
Next to the Algae was Edgar and Gavin who always accompanied him to this day, the two men patted the shoulders of the Algae and descended from the Altar letting the Algae welcome his future wife who seconds later legally became his wife.
“Thanks.” Alga said to his two friends, even up to his marriage, Alga had no family at all, they both had time to visit Alga's father's house in Bali, but the results were nil, his father did not want to see him for a while, for whatever reason, Alga did not know. It's just that he gave a gift for the wedding of Alga and Chatrina, a luxury villa in Bali on behalf of Algaleo. Unfortunately Alga did not want any gifts from her parents at all, she just wanted to see her father for a while.
The hand of the Algae welcomes the flickering hand of Chatrina in its grasp, they both stand before the altar uttering the wedding vows from within the heart, promising to God who created the universe and its contents, and who, promise that they will love each other until the end, nothing else, just the two of them forever and ever.
Alga and Chatrina face each other, Alga's hands open the hood that covers the beautiful face of Chatrina then bring her face closer, their lips meet each other, closed his eyes and poured out all his feelings in a short kiss accompanied by a standing ovation from all the guests present.
Algae hugged Chatrina tightly, she was very happy, anyone would not understand the happiness of Alga and Chatrina today.
“Thank you for being in my life, thank you for being part of my world, thank you for saving me from the darkness of the world for me.” The words spoken by Alga made Chatrina smile.
Chatrina shook her head while shedding her tears “I should be thanking you, and I should be the one to say that to you too.”
“I love you Chatrina.”
“I also love you Algaleo.”
“Until the end.”
Chatrina nodded.
How the lives of two humans are divided into two, sharing each other because nothing can be shared. They just treat each other sick, they grow up from a family that is not okay, meeting someone with the same life is not okay. Giving each other medicine and healing, the future will be no one sick, no one alone, and no one feels that the world is completely impartial to him.
The Butterfly Effect is a sentence that teaches that the butterfly effect is there for everyone, with many backgrounds, Algaleo and Chatrina, a couple who have never lived in a world of light all this time, but he managed to create beauty and get the butterfly effect in their own way.
Thank you for being with Algaleo and Chatrina to this day, see you next time. More beautiful and more alive.
