Zalynda was having a warm conversation with Reema and Mr Wijaya when Ms Reema pointed to the stage where the wedding live music was to entertain the guests
Zalynda followed Reema's forefinger and saw Ray standing there whispering to the band of escorts. When their eyes met, Ray smiled
"I'm not really good at singing. It's just that today I'm standing here because of some people's compulsion." Ray said as he looked towards the former Iron Eagle member who clapped his hands festively while whistling
"This song is for my beautiful bride, my wife, Zalynda Navulia." Ray said again while picking up a guitar and sitting on the chair provided
"Si Ehan is romantic pisan ya.." whispered Miss Reema made Zalynda's face blush
The band's music began to bounce. Ray began to sing without letting go of his gaze towards Zalynda
Have you ever felt like nobody was there?
Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere?
There were claps and whistles from the members of Iron Eagle and Phoenix
Have you ever felt like you could fail?
Like you could fall, and no one would hear?
Zalynda smiled at the lyrics to Ray's song
Well, let that lonely feeling wash away
Maybe there's a reason to believe you'll be okay
'Because when you don't feel strong enough to stand
You can reach, reach out your hand
And oh, someone will come running
And I know, they'll take you home
Ray's eyes continued to look at Zalynda as if Ray was talking to Zalynda
Even when the dark comes crashing through
When you need a friend to carry you
And when you're broken on the ground
You will be found
So let the sun come streaming in
'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again
Elevator your head and look around
Ina takes the stage and sings with Ray
You will be found
You will be found
Ray was so skilled at strumming the guitar without letting go of his gaze towards Zalynda who also continued to look at him with a big smile
There's a place where we don't have to feel unknown
And every time that you call out
You're a little less alone
If you only say the word
From across the silence your voice is heard
Zalynda shut her mouth when she saw all the former members of Iron Eagle, Phoenix and Fabulous Sorority start singing along with Ray singing. The vibe of togetherness was so felt
Even when the dark comes crashing through
When you need a friend to carry you
And when you're broken on the ground
You will be found
So let the sun come streaming in
'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again
Elevator your head and look around
You will be found
You will be found
Out of the shadows
The morning is breaking
And all is new, that all is new
It's filling up the empty
And suddenly I see that
All is new, all is new
In this part, Ray was accompanied only by the clang of the piano and his guitar passages. Simple, but very beautiful according to Zalynda
Even when the dark comes crashing through
When you need a friend to carry you
And when you're broken on the ground
You will be found
So let the sun come streaming in
'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again
Elevator your head and look around
You will be found
A thunderous clap rumbles through the ballroom of the hotel where Ray and Zalynda's wedding reception was as Ray ends the song
Ray put down his guitar and walked towards Zalynda while Zalynda was glued to where she stood
The sound of claps and whistles was still heard as Ray stood firmly before Zalynda while showing off his smile.
"Ray.." whispered Zalynda
Ray immediately took Zalynda into his arms. It didn't matter that everyone was looking at him and Zalynda.
"Ray. seen by many." Whisper Zalynda again. Ray was sure that Zalynda's face was already very red
"Why? They've got Za's eyes, naturally they can see." Ray said he was still hugging Zalynda
"Ray.."
"Hug me." Ray's orders are soft
Somewhat timidly Zalynda wrapped her hands around Ray's body. The sound of claps and whistles getting louder was heard.
Zalynda was a little embarrassed, but also flattered by Ray's actions. Zalynda finally decided to immerse her face in Ray's chest hiding her reddened face

No doubt, someone must crave a perfect partner both physically, psychically and materially. A man will look for the perfect woman in his eyes. Similarly, a woman will look for the perfect man in her eyes
No human is perfect, right?
It is not a perfection sought, but a sense of complementarity. In marriage, we and our partner are like clothes. Some are fitting, some are less fitting. But the function of real clothing is to cover, protect and beautify imperfections
Begitu juga kita dan pasangan kita dalam mengarungi bahtera rumah tangga, saling melengkapi dan menutupi ketidaksempurnaan sehingga menjadikan sebuah bahtera terlihat kokoh dan sempurna
The same goes for Zalynda and Ray. They are discovered by a destiny of mystery. Starting from a misunderstanding and a secret, it now ends with mutual love, repair, support and defense and mutual trust is one of the fortresses to break the waves that hit the ark
Zalynda felt that God was realizing his dream of bringing a prince to Ray. Although not riding a white horse, but the BMW M3.
Ray treats Zalynda like a princess Zalynda always imagined when reading fairy tales about a happy royal princess where Ray treats her with tender, warm and unyielding promises
Ray is not a perfect man. Sometimes Ray sucks with all his stubbornness and authoritarianism. But it also compensates and complements the attitude of Zalynda who impressed always weak, whiny and succumbed
With Ray on Zalynda's side, Zalynda discovers a pearl within her. Pearls whose rays are covered by suffering and insecurity due to the pressure and unpleasant treatment of the people around him as a child to grow up
Ray makes the weak and insecure Zalynda a much stronger and more confident figure, making Zalynda feel valuable among those who hate and make Zalynda feel alive between the feeling of near despair and death
Same with Ray. Zalynda returns to bring back his old love that had made him tormented by Zalynda's behavior and revenge. Then Ray realizes how heavy the girl's burden is, making Ray's male side rise up to protect Zalynda
In addition, Zalynda made Ray's famous nickname on campus as the dry canoebo gradually faded. Ray found his ribs, his soul mate
Zalynda tightened her embrace on Ray's body. No matter they were being the center of the spectacle at the moment
"I love you, Rayhan Farobi's Son. Loves you so much.." Zalynda's husky whisper almost cried from happiness
Ray smiled at Zalynda's love speech. Ray also tightened his embrace
"I love you too, Zalynda Navulia. Loves you so much.."
