As they passed the place where Ayunna and Liana's table were sitting, they gawked in surprise to see Recky closely. Without doing anything, Recky's presence left them bowed in shame, especially Liana. Everything Ayunna and Liana did did did not go unnoticed by the two men beside them, as they knew of Ayunna and Liana's relationship with Recky. Liana is Recky's ex-wife. Ayunna has been infatuated with him since she was in school. That's what Franky, Ayunna's husband, had in mind.
Recky had seen Liana and Ayunna, as their reaction caught his attention. But upon seeing the two of them with the man beside them, Recky ignored Liana and Ayunna with a smiley smile charming her. She continued walking past the table of the invited guests while looking at her brother looking at her.
Carren who saw him from afar, immediately stood up while covering his mouth with his right hand while his left hand held his chest. She was very surprised to see Recky present at her wedding reception.
Recky did not look towards Carren who was already standing at the waist, as he was calming down his heart and gurgling. She kept walking towards the stage where her brother was looking at her. But he suddenly veered towards the pelaminan after seeing her brother's eye movements, who asked him to see Carren standing up while looking at her.
Recky walked slowly to the pelaminan without seeing Carren. He knew his friends who were among the guests were looking at him. Amongst them must have known his relationship with Carren all along.
Parry and Ayunna who know Aaric's relationship, Recky and Carren take a stifled breath when they see Recky walking closer to Carren. Moreover, they had seen Carren standing up while covering his mouth. "Heyelvin ... Don't look at me like that. We are being watched by many people. Be calm..." Recky whispered while sticking her cheek to Carren's cheek.
"Reckiiii, anywhere... Howareyou? Are you all right?" Carren asked in succession with her eyes already dewy while holding her chest. He had not expected to be able to see Recky within this close range.
"As you can see. I'm fine." Recky said, turning his body in front of Carren. He did it on purpose, seeing that Carren's eyes were already inundated. If it survives a little more, her cheeks will flood with tears.
Recky tried to smile and stroked Carren's arm to calm him down. "Happy, yeah. After this, we'll talk." Recky said again, then gently stroked Carren's arm to calm him down.
Carren didn't hear what Recky said. He took Recky's hand and checked it. Recky understood Carren's intention he immediately clenched his hand. "Female... Now I can hit the wall again." Recky said while practicing how to hit. Carren smiled stifledly, but his tears ran down his cheeks.
Recky reflexively hugged him affectionately and said. "Carren, you're so beautiful today. Don't ruin your beauty with tears and don't cry on your happy day. I came to see you smiling happily. Not tears like this." Recky stroked his back slowly to ease his cries. Everything Carren and Recky did was noticed by everyone present, including Aaric who was standing on stage.
Aaric could only pray inwardly, hoping that his wise sister would talk to Carren, so as not to shock him. Recky held Carren's shoulder and asked him to sit down. "Carren, there's a lot I want to tell you. But later after this show is over we're talking well.You're sitting quietly here. Now I'm going to sing to cheer you up. So don't be sad anymore." Recky said and placed Carren in the bridal seat again while holding both of Carren's shoulders.
Carren looked at Recky, then nodded in understanding while holding his chest. His heart was filled with gratitude seeing that Recky was fine. He was happy to see Recky more calm and mature. Carren stares at the back of Recky who walks quietly away from the stand to the stage where Aaric is looking at her.
Once on stage, Recky asks mike from one of the singers, then hugs his older brother who has walked over to him. Aaric hugged his sister fondly, seeing that nothing had happened to Carren. "Thank u..." Said Aaric while patting Recky's back slowly.
"Sister, hug me for a long time. My heart is in a marathon." Recky said as she hugged her brother tightly. "How long does it take to finish?" Aaric asked, joking that he knew that Recky was trying to calm his heart, and so was he.
"Let's sing to cheer us up, especially Carren. Don't let him be shocked, knowing we're sisters." Recky said, then let go of his embrace. Aaric let go of the embrace and then grabbed his shoulder.
Recky advanced to the center of the stage with Aaric. Suddenly he raised his right hand while saying Parry's name. Hearing her name called Recky while raising her hand, Parry reflexively stood up and raised her hand without understanding.
Recky smiled happily seeing Parry present and responded. "Parry, please go to the security room with Carren, yes." Pinta Recky, hoping Parry will and can understand his request.
Although she did not understand what Recky meant, Parry followed his request. He approached Riri, then invited her to stand up to accompany him to the pelaminan. After seeing Parry and Riri having sat flanking Carren, Recky began to speak.
"Good night and thank you to all the guests who attended tonight. We will sing to entertain you all. Especially we will entertain the bride. Carren, happy luck. My request, please please please please please please please please please happy my brother." Recky said seriously in a clear voice.
Hearing that, Carren suddenly stood up. But Parry and Riri held her arms firmly. Carren could only see Aaric and Recky on stage as if he could not believe that they were brothers. During this time, he had indeed often seen the resemblance of Aaric and Recky. But he always removes it from his heart and mind. He loves Aaric not because he looks like Recky, but because of Aaric's personality.
Seeing Carren's response, Parry understood why Recky had asked him to accompany Carren at the reception. Turns out Carren doesn't know they're brothers yet. Parry signals Riri to calm Carren down. Riri stroked Carren's back and hands slowly. Parry just held back lest Carren stand up.
Carren continued to see Aaric and Recky on stage with various flavors in heart while pressing his chest with his hands. He kept calling the name of God in his heart, so that he could be strong and calm in the face of what he had just learned. His heart raged, imagining that Recky would be his sister-in-law.
We will sing a song that will become our memory. Especially me, because when I sing this song, I know my wife is interested and may fall in love with me." Aaric said so, deliberately distracting Carren from what he had just learned. Carren immediately raised his hand and closed his mouth, remembering that night. He looked at Aaric who was looking at him while smiling with a twinkle in his eyes.
