The Lost Love

Meet David

After resigning from her job, Marissa also began to be preoccupied with the preparation of her marriage.

In the morning, shortly after breakfast together, Marissa and Alisa relax on the back porch of her house.

"Today at 10 o'clock, you have to choose wedding clothes and make-up" said Alisa.

"Must be today, Te??" ask Marissa.

"Yes, Cha. Jovan made an appointment for you."

"Yaaah, cancel the celonjoran deh!!", said Marissa a little upset because it turns out she still has to take care of her wedding preparations.

" 2 months is still a long time, but it's quite a short time to prepare for the wedding, moreover, Om Alex will announce your existence, as the daughter of Mario rahimullah. So next week, you will follow Alex to the notary office for the approval of the transfer of shares and some other important papers," explained Alisa.

"Aaaah, it turns out that being rich is complicated, huh?? stocks, signatures, notaries, bank affairs, what else??" marissa lamented.

Alisa laughed at Marissa's complaint.

"Ga ribet, Cha. As time goes on, everything flows. Importantly, we are surrounded by those who are trustworthy, who fear God, so that the treasures obtained are also a blessing."

"Om Alex also has a foundation that accommodates dropout children by providing skills education that will make it easier for them to find work later. Maybe you can take part, by giving a drawing course. Hows it?? are you interested ??" ask Alisa.

"Later on Te, one-one first. I want to prepare for my wedding first" Marissa refused.

"Yes, Auntie doesn't ask you to move now, take your time" Alisa said, ending her conversation with Marissa.

Marissa went back into her room to prepare for the Ever After office.

Meanwhile, Jovan is also preparing to head to the same place.

"Van, today we finish the dress and invitation. Yesterday for the show package was fixed, right??" ask Jovanka.

"Already, Bun. For the food is also already, live food test, 2 weeks before day H," replied Jovan.

"Van, sit here, Mommy wants to talk."

Jovan also moved to sit next to the Mother.

"Van, the Icha that you will marry later, is not the Icha that you used to know. Right now, she was like a royal princess who had been missing for so many years. Mommy is sure, Icha will be prepared to be the successor to the family business. For that, the burden that will be borne by Icha will be quite heavy. You who will accompany her for the rest of her life, be a good listener for her. Women only need someone to hear everything in their hearts, just to be heard, it can reduce anxiety, grief or anything that bothers their hearts."

"Be husband, friend, friend, brother and father to him. Although you already know each other, but to become a married couple will take time to adapt as well. Mother believes it is not something to worry about and you will easily do it."

" Then, in every relationship the most important thing is communication and honesty. You must have understood this one business. But being a companion for a woman's life is not an easy thing but also not a difficult thing. The silence of women can have 1000 meanings, so be careful in deciphering it."

"Is that complicated, Bun??"

"Sometimes yes, but often not. You can see how your father treats you, right?? in the eyes of Mother, your father is the figure of a dream husband, his ears and chest are always there for Mother. Angry at your father, he never once said rudely or shouted."

"If there is a term, genetics will not go where, then the calm nature of your father, passed down to all of you," said Jovanka.

"Bang Josie is the coolest of the three of us, Bun. False, challenged and mysterious," said Jovan chimed in the words of Jovanka.

Jovanka took a heavy breath, and said,

"Aaaah, Josie the calm. Turns out this is one of God's ways to save our families from strife."

"I mean Mother??" ask Jovan.

"God has called Josie first, so that the two of you do not fight over the same love. You can't imagine, if you two come and say that you love the same person."

Jovan was silent and lowered his head.

"If Mother is given the authority to decide who will be a companion for Icha, Mother will still choose you over Josie."

Jovan scrunched his forehead.

"Kok, why, Bun?? why not Bang Josie??"

"Because you're more experienced at handling Icha than Josie."

"You went to school with Icha long enough, how many years did you go together?? how many times do you have to be bothered with Icha school affairs, but even if you grumble, you still do it well and still give your best to Icha. Icha also loves you more than Josie" replied Jovanka.

"Ah Mother nagging again, it's not possible, there's no way Icha loves me more than to Bang Josie," said Jovan.

"Van, Mommy noticed since you two were kids, if there was Josie and you, Icha ran more and more towards Josie, but her eyes looked for your existence, as if she wanted you to be jealous, she said, but you always act indifferently. If there's Josie, you always let go of Icha, that's what Icha doesn't accept, that's what makes her so often mad at you and so gentle with Josie."

Jovan fell silent, remembering the words of Jordan that were not much different from Jovanka.

Jovanka grabbed her youngest hand and held it tight.

"Van, don't ever think that you're the second choice for Icha, get rid of that thought. He chose you because he is the one who makes himself feel comfortable and protected. You have the same language and jokes that never go wrong."

"Icha tells me when you go to Manado, when you buy her a new set of clothes, without asking me what size and model Icha likes. How about, but you managed to choose a model of clothing that Icha liked and it became her favorite clothes."

"Icha also told me how the beginning of your meeting in Juanda. Icha said that at that time he did not understand why he would just obey your words, someone he just knew."

"That all, shows a bond that has been established for a long time. That's the reality that happens without you noticing."

"Mother's message, keep communication, besides that the most important thing besides communication is trust. You think, for this one, it won't be a problem for you two."

"Yes, Bun, In shaa Allah. I will always try to be the best husband and best friend for Icha."

Later that morning, Jovan, accompanied by his parents, left for Ever After's office.

Arriving there, Marissa who had arrived first, was looking at the wedding dress displayed in the display room also approached Jovanka to give her greetings.

Jovan smiles, seeing Marissa wearing the robe he bought in Manado.

"The book is good" praised Jovanka.

"This is Bang Jovan who bought it while in Manado" replied Marissa.

"Ooo so this is her shirt ??!! pinter, too, you chose him, Van !!" puji Jovanka's.

"Naaah, because you are smart to choose clothes for me, now choose the clothes again dong!!" marissa Pinta.

"Sir, please bring me the clothes I ordered yesterday" Jovan told Ever After.

"Over with my shirt too, Ma'am. Thank you," added Jovan.

Shortly thereafter,

"It's her man's dress and it's for the woman, and then it's the reception shirt" she told Ever After as she brought 4 pairs of bridal dresses.

"Cha, the concept for a contract, remains with white. Brother in a long coat, Icha in a dress... "

"That's a lot of bling, Bang!!" cut Marissa.

"Like ga??" ask Jovan.

Marissa stared at the bone-white, stacked tile dress adorned with swarovski crystal grains scattered randomly beneath her dress, with sparkling eyes.

"Like, bangeeet!!!" answer Marissa.

"Eh Bang, but how much is this??" marissa asked in a whisper.

"Why the price?? your job is just to answer yes or no, he says he wants to take it right??" jovan replied in a whisper as well.

"You just try the dress first. After that try the cheongsam too," continued Jovan.

Marissa also felt the wedding dress fabric that will be used at the reception later.

"Bun, the clothes are so good!!" he said in his heart while looking at Jovanka.

"Cha, you try it first. Want Mommy to help?"

"Ga, Bun. I tried it myself" replied Marissa as she walked into the dressing room.
