The Pearl of the Heart of Alvino

91

Alexander's family is on their way to Nadira and Dion's engagement site. Aluna and Davin sat in the middle, sanding Nadira's body between them. Aluna gently rubbed Nadira's black hair which was now in a bun displaying her tie neck.

"Why do you look unhappy?" ask Aluna.

"Mom, it's not that I'm unhappy, but I'm just nervous" Nadira said. He looked down, Nadira felt a doubt in his heart. However, since this was already his choice, he had to accept it.

Isn't Dion the one I love? Shouldn't I be happy? Nadira's mind was turbulent.

After a half hour of travel. Davin's black car stopped at a luxury building that had been decorated in such a way. They went down and immediately entered the venue. Nadira's gaze swept across the room to look for the whereabouts of someone. However, he did not find it at all.

"Who are you looking for, Nad?" Nadira jumped in shock, he turned his head to the side and saw the newlyweds and the bride-to-be standing next to him.

"Can you walk while making a sound? You make my heart feel like it's going to be dislodged" Nadira scolded. He rubbed his chest to neutralize the performance of his heart.

"Eat him don't like daydreaming. New guests know how you feel, Nad." Nadira was silent, not responding to Alvino's remarks at all.

They turned their heads towards the entrance when they saw Dion coming with a beautiful woman. That woman is Evelyn, a member of the 'Four Angels' gang knows that she is Dion's mother.

Nadira walked quickly closer to her future fiance, she greeted Evelyn's hand politely. "Well, it turns out my daughter-in-law is very beautiful" Evelyn said. Nadira's face looks red, especially when Dion's hands hold it tightly.

"Welcome, Miss Evelyn," welcome Aluna.

"Thank you dear Mr and Mrs Alexander," Evelyn replied no less politely.

"You two?" ask Davin. Evelyn and Dion both nodded. "Yes, we're just starting."

The host of the event that night also began to lead the event. Everyone applauded when Dion had put the ring on Nadira's ring finger, and vice versa. However, Nadira just fell silent and re-spread his gaze to all corners of the room. Why didn't Nathan come? Didn't he promise to bring me a special gift?

"Baby, why are you daydreaming? Look, my mom wanted to hug you. She can't wait to be your mother-in-law" Dion said. Nadira turned to Evelyn who was staring at her while stretching out her hands. Nadira who felt bad, finally walked up to Evelyn and hugged the body of her future mother-in-law.

"I'm sorry, Mil. It looks like Nathan and Nadira are not a match," Aluna said in a soft voice.

"It's okay, Lun. You just calm down. There's still Cacha and Febian we can match." Mila joking with laughter. However, Aluna could see a look of disappointment on her best friend's face. Eventually, they enjoyed the show.

Nathan drives his car fast, while Jo just sits quietly beside him. However, three hundred meters before arriving at the venue, there were gunshots and Nathan's car was smashed. Nathan stopped his car on the side of the road. However, just as he was about to get out of the car, Jo who was sitting next to him immediately held back his hand.

"Don't come out, we'll just wait here." Jo looks so calm, his eyes are seen many times glancing towards the rearview mirror. A thin grin was seen at the corner of his lips as he saw four black-clothed people walking up to his car.

"Follow in," Jo murmured with a thin grin at the corner of her lips.

"Dad you sure we're not gonna be late?" nathan asked doubtfully. He also glanced towards the rearview mirror, looking at the four people who were getting closer to his car.

"You just calm down. I've contacted Mr. Davin" said Jo calmly.

"Well, I'm worried about you. Brother Rayhan and Cacha haven't been there either."

"Dad told you what to do as long as you haven't come." Just as Jo stopped talking, Nathan's car glass door was knocked very hard.

"Pacify yourself, Nat. Remember that! It's not just one life we have to save."

"Good, Dad."

If you had known, I'd be very worried right now, Nat. Dear God .. I beg you to take care of all my family members and those I care about.
