The Former I Love You
Santorini in Love



Ardan and Rika's wedding is still 3 days old. Rika is still tired because the guests never run out. Every day they always have guests, both school friends, coworkers, relatives and neighbors. Unlike Rika, Ardan did not show any fatigue.


"Why nanda?" Ardan asked his wife whose face looked lethargic.


"Nanda was tired Byi, Aby was the one who went downstairs and had a chat with her guests. Nanda wants to fall down first." Reply Nanda with a smooth tone.


"Anybody take a break, Nanda just go down."


"Baby Ngeselin!" Nanda threw away her face in annoyance with her husband who was not paying attention to her.


"You're not sick, there's Aby! if Aby's sick, who's taking care of Nanda?"


Again Ardan was on target. His little words were able to show red tomatoes on the wife's face.


"Nanda's face has its tomatoes.!" Said Ardan chuckling at the look on his wife's face. "Nanda, Aby's hungry. Bukain's the veil.!" Ardan.


Rika who was still standing immediately stepped up to open the hood, because the husband said he was hungry. There was apparently no food, only a small pair of papers in the hood.


Honeymoon - Santorini Greece - April 23, 2020


Rika is surprised by Ardan's unexpected surprise, but tries to stay relaxed. After noticing the small paper, Rika was shocked. The date on the paper indicates the date of the day.


"Byi, there is no food here, Nanda down first Byi.!" Rika pretended that she saw nothing, but her heart was very happy.


"Is there really nothing?" Ask Ardan astonished.


"Yes Byi, here's the paper, maybe Fira's paper.!" Rika turned around and laughed softly looking at her husband's disappointed face. " But Byi, I want to go to the Santorini." Connect Rika with her smile.


Ardan who heard that immediately got up from his seat, ran towards his wife and hugged her tightly.


April 23, 2020 in the skies of Santorini Greece, accompanied by twilight with a gallon of warm drinks in hand. A couple sitting together, joking, telling stories, enjoying life with the beautiful Santorini. They tried their best to carve out a valuable experience with this place. Suddenly, the city is reminiscent of the past even though it is not in the same place.


Ardan realized, just by looking at his wife's face, his fatigue was gone, his heart was at peace and his smile was engraved. Just with Rika alone Ardan already has the whole world.


"How's Santorini? Aby picked the wrong place? Why silence?" Ask Ardan.


"Santorini is too beautiful for earthlings like us who are mediocre." Said Rica. "But, Santorini is also the luckiest place" Rika continued.


"Lucky?" Ardan raised one of his eyebrows, glancing at his wife.


Ardan just silently heard his wife, for Ardan there is nothing more beautiful than Rika's smile, from her ox voice and from her potent nature. All about Rika makes Ardan happy.


*Santorini in Love


I walked through the universe but I didn't get my destination


Until God says "Go home, someone is waiting for you."


I asked the stars, who is this girl? "Your name" said he.


This place, this town.


I pray to the creator, may you be beside me. Not just now, but forever.~Ardan Abbyan, With Santorini*


"Yin..! Byii??" Rika patted the shoulder of Ardan who had been daydreaming.


" a..iya? Why?" Ardan asked in shock.


"Why daydream?"


"See you!" answer Ardan briefly.


"Liatinya bejar, Byi, your wife is hungry. If you die in Santorini it's not good Byi."


"No, there will be Aby.! Come on..!" Ardan tightly gripped his wife's hand, they walked hand in hand in the middle of Santorini.


"Wait Byi.!" Rika stopped Ardan.


"Why?" Tabya Ardan's.


"Emang Aby knows this town? where to eat here?." Ask Rica


"Bring graduates here.!" said.


"Oh yeah, Rika forgot, hehe."


Rika smiled then walked ahead of Ardan. Ardan only watched his wife from behind, looking at the atmosphere like this, Ardan thought, "if we hadn't split up in the past, how many beautiful cities would we have visited? 1001? Maybe if it's true, I'll write a story called 1001 with you."
