The Journey and Destiny of Love
Chapter 44 - Towards the Wedding Day
“But are you sure that Anin will be happy with Faisal? Didn't you guys have a relationship before they finally met?” Sierra still has not run out of sense to influence the man in front of him. Mario was stunned by the words of the woman in front of him.
“Rio, provided you know there is someone who has already loved Kak Faisal and that love is certainly greater than the rest of Kak Anin's love that must have been given to you, I loved Brother Faisal even a lot earlier, and you love Brother Anin too right? we can definitely do something to get our love back.” Sierra who has always been spoiled now looks so serious and earnest with his words.
Mario closed his eyes for a few seconds, then opened them again while breathing out a long breath. “For me to love him is to make him happy, if he can be happy with his choice then I am willing to let go, never force something and try to change destiny, destiny and love that is entirely the power of God, sorry Sierra, I'm sorry, I can't work with you.” The man stood up and walked over to the girl who was still stunned by his explanation, he patted Sierra gently on the shoulder and then passed leaving her.
“And if I know of anyone who made him hurt, I make sure I am one of the people who will stand to protect him, he said,” Mario stopped his steps and said one more sentence before finally his footsteps brought his wide back to disappear in the crowd.

Preparations for the wedding of the Faisal version were ready, that afternoon all the nuclear families had gathered at Bu Windarti's house. All were there except for Fardan who still survived in Sumatra to melt the heart of his future father-in-law. Faisal only informed his twin brother through a video call.
All look so happy to welcome the wedding day Faisal and Anindita which will be held tomorrow in the mosque housing complex, except Anindita himself. Since hearing all Rio's explanation of the misunderstanding, his heart became unreasonable, either because of feelings of guilt or indeed because his heart still holds the name of the man who had become his first love. He became more silent than usual.
“Assalamu’alaikum,” Sierra split the chat in the middle room when he just arrived after meeting Mario.
“Wa’alaikumsalam,” answer everything in unison.
“Mah, Mom, Anin wants to rest first,” Anindita tries to avoid the crowd and chooses to go to her room.
“Ra, sit here,” Bu Windarti waved to his nephew with a smile.
“Rara was tired, wanted to rest first,” Sierra replied with a smile back and passed leaving everyone, but his feet stopped on the footing of the first rung.
“Kak Fay, someone wants Rara to takein, meet Rara on the balcony of the upper living room,” said the girl as she passed on footing to her room to rest.
“This is all Ra!” Faisal answered lazily, but did not get a response from the girl whose back had now disappeared in the bend of the stairs.
“Yes you have met there first, maybe there is something important that he wants to take,” Bu Windarti asked his son to fulfill the wishes of his nephew. Faisal was lazy, but he obeyed his mother's orders.
His strapping body followed a swing of steps lazily towards the second floor. He walked towards the balcony of the living room. It looks like Sierra is sitting on the couch and playing his mobile phone.
“Sit first Brother Fay,” Sierra said while putting on a genuine smile.
“Iya has sat down, what's wrong?” Faisal asked the question again.
“Listen to this carefully Brother, so that Brother can learn from him,” he said while putting his phone on the table and playing a recording of the conversation. Faisal listened carefully to every chat that managed to play. His eyes squinted sharply at the Sierra.
“You mean to mess up Sister's wedding tomorrow?” Intimidating look. Sierra took a deep breath.
“Not that I mean Brother,” said the girl.
“I learned a lot from Rio, every sentence resuscitated one point of my selfishness during this time, I will also mengikhlaskan you and give up on that happiness, but I want to ask the same Kak Fay, does Brother Fay care about Kak Anin's current feelings, is he really happy with your impromptu marriage?” Sierra said so maturely, turning around with his powerful attitude that he had always shown. Faisal was shocked to hear the words of his cousin's sister. He admitted that he was selfish. Since Anin's meeting with Rio she hasn't given a single chance to the girl she loves telling her feelings. There was too much fear in him.
“Kak Anin has definitely loved Brother, you don't have to worry about it.” Faisal's words sounded clear even though in fact his heart was beginning to be engulfed in doubt. He left his cousin to go to his room. But slowly his footsteps stopped in Anindita's room whose door was still half open, he peeked but the woman he loved was not seen in the room. His feet slowly entered carefully so as not to cause noise. His eyes swept across the corner of the room including the open bathroom door, meaning the girl was not there. The door to the balcony seemed to open slightly, Faisal approached him carefully. From behind the door gap, Anindita was sitting with her face facing out towards the clouds. He saw there was a clear puddle in every corner of his female eye that many times he rubbed with his arm.
The facial stood up for a few minutes watching the person who was unaware of his whereabouts. Circling back Sierra speech and every conversation he had with Mario that he had heard. The man let out a long sigh, he turned around carefully and walked towards his room.
***
That morning some of the neighbors who were invited by Bu Windarti had gathered on the floor. Some committee teams have prepared the condition of the mosque to be carried out for the marriage contract. Faisal did not invite many people in this impromptu marriage, there was only Ferdi who always faithfully accompanied the journey of his life and career so far. Likewise Anindita, only Bu Wanti was the only family from the bride's side and a distant uncle who that morning was picked up by the driver that Faisal had prepared. The man will be the guardian of the judge representing Anindita's late father.
When all the formations were seen complete, all the invited neighbors marched to the residential complex mosque on foot. Only the nuclear family uses the car. Ferdi became the second driver of the bride. Sierra sat next to Ferdi, Anindita and Faisal in the middle seat while Bu Wanti and Bu Windarti sat in the back seat. Their journey only took five minutes. They arrived and parked in the mosque. Anindita looks so beautiful with minimalist makeup polish MUA hard work handpicked by her future father-in-law. Faisal looked so handsome and dashing, his charisma emanated clearly.
Sierra and Ferdi walked in front, either by chance or indeed a mate, the clothes they used had the same color. They look like a young couple in general. While Bu Wanti and Bu Windarti wore a salem-colored kebaya that they ordered suddenly from Bu Windarti's subscription boutique, The two strong women seemed so happy to attend the wedding of their beloved sons.
