A few days after that exhausting day, the day that Hara and her friends were looking for WO, at least the days that Hara went through were not too heavy for her. Because the task given by his father had been done well with the help of El.
Because of the many jobs that Mario and Nia have, they are forced to let Hara who helps them to find WO. In my heart, Nia and Mario believe in the ability of Hara's assessment of the decoration and style of the wedding, because it will not harm Nia and Mario.
After Hara and her friends are tired of looking for WO, this afternoon is the time for Mario and Nia to look for their wedding rings. The actual wedding ring they never wanted. A wedding ring that should not be on their ring finger. And, a wedding ring that leaves a scar on the heart of their loved ones, a sister to Nia and a lover to Mario.
"Ni, where are you?" ask Mario via voice call.
"I've been waiting in front of my office. Where are you?" asked Nia back, who apparently had been waiting for Mario.
"Ok, otw," he said briefly and ended their call. Luckily, Mario and Nia's office is just across the street, even many Mario employees know Nia with her cold and indifferent image to the opposite sex. Likewise with Mario, many women in Nia's office who know Mario because of his friendly and handsome nature.
News of their marriage has spread throughout the employees where they work. Many reactions are given by those who know their wedding plans. The most common reaction was to be surprised to hear about their marriage. On the one hand, Mario employees know that Mario has a lover that he loves very much. But on the other hand, Nia was never heard of having a lover.
A red saloon car was neatly parked in front of Nia. Without the need for cueing, Nia immediately got into the car, in order to avoid many eyes that pay attention to them. Seeing Nia who had gotten into the car, Mario immediately drove his car to one of the famous stores in the city where he lived.
"Why did you get in the car?" mario asked as they were on their way.
"Lazy I see the eyes that keep on looking at me. So uncomfortable, uncomfortable," explained Nia.
"Gue feel your indifferent attitude has been slightly reduced, deh," said Mario. Not understanding the words of her future husband, Nia just turned to look at Mario with her questioning gaze.
"If you remember the nature of the old lo, you will not be disturbed by the views of many people. But now, you're increasingly concerned with yourself."
"You mean, I who used to not care the same view of people to me. And I'm now taking too much of a look at me, is that it?"
"Lessly more. But I think that nature is good you maintain, let alone you will soon be married. At least you can take good care of your husband."
"Did you forget that my future husband was my own boyfriend?" nia asked in a slightly annoyed tone, but Mario instead laughed considering the reality that was happening between them.
"Lo think this is funny?" said Nia.
"Little bit. You even considered my own sister, maybe even my sister-in-law because I was dating Hara. But in fact, even you the person I asked to shave the ring and wedding dress," said Mario with a forced smile. A smile that showed deep pain for her, Hara, and also Nia.
"What's important, you remember our deal?" nia told Mario.
"Silent. The agreement I always remember and I will not forget for the rest of my life," he said reassuring the woman who now sits in a chair that had previously only been a place for one Hara.
Soon, Nia and Mario arrive at the jewelry store, and one of the clerks guides the two to a shelf containing a fancy ring from a famous designer.
"These are 5 types of rings that are trending right now, Mario sir. Please try," said the store manager.
Mario family company is one of the largest property companies in Indonesia, even has many branches, so no wonder if the direct service is the manager of the store.
"Which one fits?" said Mario to Nia who looks serious about choosing a wedding ring. No response from Nia, Mario also chose to let his future wife choose their wedding ring.
"It's just a marriage because of an arranged marriage. Why do you choose cincinaja so long, si?" mario whispered into Nia's ear.
For people who are unaware of their matchmaking marriage, people must be thinking about how romantic they are when choosing a wedding ring. Moreover, Mario has a handsome look and Nia also looks beautiful, making people judge that they are a suitable partner, her husband is handsome and his wife is beautiful.
For the sake of taking the opinion of the public, Nia and Mario deliberately took a little while in choosing their wedding ring.
"This one, deh. It's nice, simple and valuable" Nia said, pointing to one of the rings with a floral engraving and a jewel in the center for points on the ring.
"May as well, anyway. I agree," said Mario agreed Nia's words.
"So you want to take this one, Mario sir?" ask the manager.
"Is there a measure to be my future wife?" ask Mario to make sure.
"There certainly is, Mr. Mario. Because we have been informed of the condition, so we deliberately prepared various sizes of these five rings," explained the manager of the store.
Finally, choosing the ring was completed, although longer than expected. After choosing the ring, Mario and Nia went on to measure the wedding dress that Nia would wear on their wedding day.
"Oh, so it's mas and mbak who will measure the dress today, on Hara's order?" tanga clerk in Yerim's shop.
"really. Is everything prepared?" ask Mario to make sure.
"Other needs are ready, just measuring the wedding dress. Go this way" said the official, followed by Nia and Mario.
...On the one hand, at El's workplace cafe...
"About this, did Nia's brother arrive at Jerim's store, huh?" hara asked El who was sitting with her to enjoy coffee.
"Will you try calling Yerim?" ask El.
"No, no, El. Afraid disrupt. Are we going there, huh?"
"Well, are you going to be all right with us?" said El who tried to ask the state of Hara's heart when he saw the man he loved accompanying other women to measure their wedding dress.
"Come, El. I also can't be sure if I'll be okay when I see them at the wedding. At least I want to get used to seeing them both. Maybe that way, my heart can also recover," said Hara. Although he looks very hopeful to recover from his heartache, but El can see the pain that is still deep in the spotlight of his eyes every time Hara talks about Mario, or even see Mario.
...On the other hand, in the shop of Jerim...
"Lo's sure, the last time you met Hara, you didn't tell us this secret story?" nia asked Mario who was also measuring the suit.
"Related. Just relax, Ni. No one knows our secret. Only you and I know. And, you also do not forget, there are many things that we have to do after the wedding. And I want, it must be realized, so that what we have been doing is not in vain" said Mario who was also approved by Nia.
...Everyone has secrets in their life. Be it with friends, friends, or even life partners, as well as for Nia and Mario. Although the two married without love, but did not rule out the possibility for them to still have a common life that is also owned by couples in general, namely a secret....
...A secret known only to Mario and Nia. A secret in their marriage, and also a secret that finally makes them want to accept the match....
