The day most awaited by the impromptu couple had arrived. Anne and Raymond are really getting married.
A week before the event. Abrine and Elrich were shocked when they received an invitation letter from the two. Because, after they were close, none of the two told Abrine about this. Both Raymond and Anne chose silence and had a relationship without Abrine's love.
They are not unintentional. They did it intentionally. They knew this would be a shocking moment for Abrine and Elrich.
Until this day arrived. Anne looked very beautiful and graceful when she was wearing her wedding dress. Raymond's eyes didn't blink looking at him. The man seemed blind to the other sights, his gaze only fixed on one person. That girl, Anne, his future wife.
When Abrine and Elrich attend their wedding. The four chuckled with jokes. How not, starting from the brilliant idea of Elrich who betrothed them until finally the speech became a prayer.
"Hahaha, it turns out that my words become a mantra," El licked in front of the newlyweds.
Raymond laughed, while Anne gave a smile with a reddened look.
"Ray. Congratulations..I'm happy for you. You guys look very compatible. I'm really calm to see you've got a partner like Anne." Abrine hugged Raymond and replied to the man with a light pat on the woman's back.
Their friendship, which used to end in love with each other, does not mean that they should unite. In fact, Abrine had Elrich and Raymond had chosen Anne. This embrace is not merely to express a sense of being together but it is a true embrace of friendship.
"Thank you, Brine. Pray for us to be happy."
"of course. If you hurt Anne then I'll be your opponent" Abrine said, showing his fist to Raymond.
Raymond pretended to shudder at a glance, making all of them again chuckle.
One by one Anne's problems had also been resolved Raymond in his own way. Jerry who has a lot of debt and pawns the name Anne already handled Raymond.
Now, Anne's half-sister is unable to attend their wedding. Yeah, because Raymond's been paying all his debt without making Anne and Jerry's parents know about it. Anne was free from Jerry's troubles thanks to Raymond. But, for Jerry, of course Raymond helped him on condition and not free.
Jerry had to pay the debt to Raymond. He signed a deal. A little threat made Jerry do it.
Now Jerry is working under Raymond's control. His salary would still be paid only to meet his needs - so that he could not gamble anymore. The rest of his salary, of course, is considered Raymond as a debt installment. Jerry is hired by Raymond off the island, so that his presence doesn't bother him or Anne anymore.
Raymond and Anne entered the bridal chamber after their party ended. Unwilling to miss the opportunity, Raymond and Anne made the most of their first night.
It would be a pity if Raymond missed Anne. He did not expect, the change for the better actually ended with getting a good wife.
"Why? I'm so embarrassing, aren't I?" anne thought Raymond was disappointed with her situation. The man appeared to be silent after performing the husband and wife routine for the first time tonight.
Raymond shook his head, then took Anne into his arms.
"Why are you saying that you're so embarrassing, hmm?"
"No, I think at my age it would be a shame if I was still a virgin..." Anne bit her lip at the end of the sentence.
Raymond rubbed his wife's face. "That's exactly why I thought... Where have you been all this time? Why was I the first to touch you?"
"You're disappointed in me?"
Raymond chuckles. "Not so, I just can't believe I got a girl who's awake like you. I'm honored to have you." She kissed Anne's cheek very gently. Luck, he thought.
"But...."
"But why else?"
"But, I'm not experienced yet.You'd prefer someone who's good at filling you up." Anne was embarrassed after her words were thrown out.
Raymond laughed softly. "In that case, I will often teach you so that you can empower me while satisfying you as well. Hmm, the bonus is that you'll be experienced too."
Raymond gave her a smile and Anne lowered her lingering face.

Test ....
The first snow fell along with Abrine who had just given birth to his twin babies. Abrine initially wanted to give birth normally. But the weight of her two babies did not allow her to go that way. Eventually, Abrine underwent a caesarean section. She gave birth to two baby boys.
Arcelio Gustav and Wilian Gustav. Lio and Lian had the exact same eye color as Elrich. His nose was like Elrich and his lips were also down from Elrich. Abrine is only part of the pregnancy and childbirth sessions only. Their faces were nothing like her.
"You managed to envy me this time," Abrine grumbled. She wasn't seriously sulking, she was just teasing her husband.
"It's important they look like me" Elrich said, not to be outdone. El even held her two babies together. Abrine was weaving lips but he was also smiling on the sidelines of his absurd behavior.
The arrival of Yemima and Xander, made the ward atmosphere where Abrine was treated to be boisterous and crowded.
Yemima is also pregnant at this time. Her gestational age had only been running for two months but she had already complained.
"I feel fat right now" said the woman.
"You're still the one in my eyes" said Xander teasingly.
"Yes, don't mind your shape you're still beautiful, Mima." Abrine encouraged his best friend.
"Halloo." Anne and Raymond came to visit. They didn't want to miss the chance to see Abrine and Elrich's children.
They congratulated the couple and asked for prayers to follow soon.
"Darling, we must not lose to them either, yes!" el added, talk to the wife.
"What's the loser? You've even scored two!" Xander.
"Yes, after this I'll score a hattrick," El chuckled. (Hattrick \= term for a football player who can score three times in one game.)
"That's right!" grouse Abrine.
Everyone in the room laughed again.
After they all went home, Theresa came to Abrine's treatment room. He carried Lio and Lian.
"Two great-grandmothers!" Theresia kissed the two babies. Feeling very lucky to still be given a long life to be able to meet his two great-grandchildren who have just come to the world.
The news of Abrine giving birth also reached the ears of Wildan and Erika in Indonesia.
Upon finding out, Wildan immediately called Abrine and congratulated his brother and sister-in-law.
Apparently Erika also wanted to say the same thing. Wildan gave him a chance at it.
"Abrine, I'm sorry...." Erika sounded sobbing from across the call.
"Mama doesn't care if you believe it or not, but she's happy with the birth of your sons. Forgive Mama who was wrong. My mother regrets it. Mama won't bother you anymore. Thank you for responding to my mother's behavior with good behavior. Mama's too embarrassed to see you."
Whether or not what Erika said was true, Abrine responded quite wisely.
"Thank you, ma. May your mother always be healthy there. Abrine wished for her to become a better person and to live a long life. Later, mama will also become a grandmother if Wildan is married and has children.so, hopefully mama will think about Abrine's words this time."

Two days from Abrine's delivery. Edgar, Elena and Hardin came to see them. The good news is that Elena will return to Germany because Hardin has got his work scheduled in their home country.
Elena and Hardin have no children. They did not delay it just had not been given that sustenance. The presence of two babies in the middle of Elrich's extended family made Elena very happy. She intends to help Abrine babysit her babies later.
Abrine's family in Indonesia also make video calls every day to see the two Abrine twins. Reportedly they will also soon land in Germany to see Lio and Lian.
******
3 Years later.
Lio and Lian grew very fast. Their development is also very good. At the age of three, they can do many things. In fact, Lio was already able to judge one's attitude. He seemed to be awarded something different. Lio can read the movements of people who lie and are complaining about it. Abrine and Elrich are quite overwhelmed handling Lio's critical and numerous questions. They couldn't even divert Lio to anything else if the toddler was already full of curiosity.
As for Lian, that little brat was also other than the others. He looked more mature and not as handsome as Lio. He likes things that kids shouldn't like. If other young children prefer toys, then Lian is different, she is more interested in watching complicated films about astronauts and robotics than picking up a given toy.
At times, El and Abrine are very surprised to see Lian. Is that little boy able to understand the movie being watched? This is all because Hardin often invites Lian to watch such films because Hardin does work in one of the robotics companies.
Ah yes, now El is more relaxed with his new job. As per her promise back then, she had served as the owner of the new hospital that Theresia had given her. He doesn't work at the Xander family-owned hospital anymore.
El is more often at home. Sometimes he checks the hospital. That's the activity now.
Abrine himself still manages his company under the auspices of Papa. She still wants to be a career woman while looking after her children.
Elena had been heavily pregnant, her upbringing in Elrich's children bearing sweet fruit. She finally became pregnant.
News about Galvin's health also sticking. The man had been able to walk despite having to use one cane. Another happy news he brings is that he and Kristy are getting married soon.
On the same day, Abrine also received another call from Indonesia.
"Hallo, Brine?"
"Wilda?"
"I invite you family to come to my wedding. Next week."
"Gee, you're finally getting married..." Abrine activates his cell phone speakers to let all the family hear, including Elrich, Edgar, Elena and Hardin, because they're at Villa right now.
"Yes, tell everyone to come. I have no other family but you."
"We're definitely coming, Er!" elena sounded excited.
In the end, they can all undergo their own capacities and tests of life to reap what they have grown. Know that what we plant today is what we will harvest in the future.
All the intricacies of life that are complicated and seem difficult to deal with, in fact still have to be lived. Therefore, go through everything without complaining and continue to say thank you.
Hopefully, the journey of a grateful life will result in a happy ending.
Sometimes life is real. But know it's only mortal. With life, we are taught the meaning of survival and how we get through it. Until that time comes. Our time is called and returned to His lap.
