The Sound of Tears
Invitation of pink flowers
"Wait a minute, brother"
I immediately got up from the chair then stepped towards the middle room. But my steps stopped when Cici arrived with Andre.
"Assalamualaikum" said Cici.
"Waalaikum... Cici.." I immediately hugged my best friend. Indeed, lately we rarely meet because my best friend is busy preparing for his wedding.
Who would have thought Cici and Andre finally mate and next Sunday will hold their wedding reception at the Prince hotel, a famous hotel in the city of Padang.
"Cici. congratulations on soon becoming a bride"
"you must not come, Shel, oh yes, until you forget, this is the invitation" said Cici while issuing a pink flower patterned invitation.
"ah you're Ci, don't use any invitation I will still come anyway..."
"oh yes, then your fiancee was invited as well" added Cici while glancing at Hendrick's brother who was busy talking to Andre.
"God ci, oh yes finally tom and jerry unite too" my lead.
"want how else Shel, whose soul mate knows.. oh yes, how come you when? later even taken people you know.remember a CEO must have many fans" whispered Cici.
"no ci. fill someone's heart who knows"
"lho.. Why is that Shel? you are already engaged, brother Hendrick is handsome, well established again, you will soon also finish college, plus the horrors you are now an orkay child (the rich), he said, have a prospective in-law also tajir abis.wait let alone try" said Cici.
"The journey is still long Ci, there is still much I want to achieve, all of it takes commitment and .... " I was reminded of Ayu, my sister who had been separated for a long time since she met her birth mother, Monic, who used to be a teacher when I was in elementary school.
"and what's Shel?"
"and regarding the wedding, it won't happen before I meet with Ayu... "
"patient Shel, mmmm... How about after this we look for Ayu's whereabouts?"
"how's Ci doing? do you know where Monic's address is now?"
"it looks like mah, just ask the neighbors around the old house of Monic"
"mmmm.. well then"

I don't feel like time goes on, it's 7 p.m. I've come back to a lonely solitude, since Hendrick's arrival this afternoon, I still can't believe what I saw and heard.
'hmmmmhhh. I don't know, why the longer this feel more bland' murmured me while throwing my body on the bed.
"Hendrick, you've been missing for a long time, lost contact after we got engaged and now with the rest you come to ask me to immediately hold our wedding" I said while staring at the ceiling of the room.
not long after that, a knocking sound came from the door
TOK TOK...
"assalamualaikum pakeeetttt" shouted a courier from outside the front door.
'hmm... package? tumben someone sent a package of nights like this, ' my murmurs immediately approached the courier.
"on behalf of Shella amanda"
"yes, I am right"
"this is the package uni, please accept"
"who is this uda?" I asked, because I felt like I never ordered anything.
"i don't know uni, I'm just a courier between goods"
"oh well then, thanks uda"
"sama-sama uni" added the courier.

Meanwhile, in a room large enough, white paint and equipped with a King size bed and some aesthetic furniture. Azka was busy typing some work proposals on her laptop.
TOK TOK...
"just go in, the door is not locked" cried the dimpled young man as he continued to focus staring at his laptop.
"excuse me den Azka, in front of a friend den Azka" said bi Ijah
"Who's bi?"
"his name is Hendrick den, the guy's handsome like a bule that den, aunt this time see him"
"okay bi, azka's coming down soon"
"good den"
