THE STAR OF HEAVEN
PART 26'S
The wedding of Marvin and Ghea was held in the building after the morning they performed a blessing in the Church. The room has been transformed into more luxurious with flowers that are shaped and decorated to beautify the atmosphere
Buffet tables also seem to be filled with a variety of abundant dishes. Chairs and tables are neatly arranged. In the middle of the room deliberately emptied so that the bride and groom can do their first dance as husband and wife
Guests have arrived. Most of them are alumni of Gemilang University and also some members of the student senate and a large group of rulers at Gemilang University
The MCs of the event have already welcomed the guests and families who came. Upon the arrival of the bride and groom, the room lights dimmed. One light shone towards the door
"Gentlemen, let's welcome Mr and Mrs Harahap." MC the event
Marvin and Ghea enter the room accompanied by applause and a scream from Marvin and Ghea's friends. Marvin looks more relaxed while Ghea looks shy.
Zalynda noticed Ghea's happy-looking countenance. Zalynda smiles when she sees Ghea blushing as Marvin steals a kiss on Ghea's cheek
The two performed their first dance as husband and wife. A couple followed Marvin and Ghea. Lean and Ina on the dance floor.
"You want to dance, Za?"
Zalynda looked up at Ray who reached out to her. Zalynda immediately stood up to Ray while whispering
"Ray, people will gossip if we dance."
Ray's forehead frowned at Zalynda's words. Without waiting for Zalynda's approval, Ray immediately pulled Zalynda's hand towards the dance floor. I don't want Zalynda to follow him
Ray approached Zalynda and immediately pulled Zalynda's body into his arms. Zalynda momentarily surprised and reflexively stared at Ray. Ray smiled.
Ray began to move his legs to the rhythm of music. Zalynda looks stiff following Ray
A few pairs of eyes looked at Ray and Zalynda. A rare sight saw Ray Eagle embracing a friendly woman other than his mother and sister.
It seems like the nickname dry kanebo for Ray started to fall out when everyone saw Ray's face smiling while looking at Zalynda
"R-Ray, all eyes are looking at us." Whisper Zalynda while glancing right and left. His face looks uncomfortable
"Belvin. They've got eyes, it's only natural to squirm." Ray cuek replied as he continued to move with the music
"But.."
Ray stopped his steps and looked at Zalynda
"Why Za? You don't like to dance with me? I can stop if you ask."
Zalynda looked up at Ray as she shook her head slowly "I'm thinking more about your reputation, Ray. What do people say when they see you dance with a girl?"
Ray smiled then held Zalynda tightly while moving his body back to the music
"What's wrong with me dancing with my wife? It's not a sin, is it?" Ray asked in a whisper
Zalynda squeezed Ray's suit when she saw some girls she knew in Fabulous Sorority starting to whisper
"Ray.."
"Shm.. Don't think too much about people's responses, Za. Focus on yourself. Focus on us." Ray said again while tightening his embrace
Ray's words are right. Zalynda did not have to bother thinking about what people said as long as what he did was still in the corridor of truth
Finally Zalynda decided to roll back her arms around Ray's body and lean on the young man's shoulder without caring for the few pairs of eyes that were looking towards them
Zalynda decided to enjoy the moment together with Ray

"If we're having a reception, would you like to believe it?" Ray asked, which made Zalynda turn to the young man
"Repception?"
"Yes, his father's language is walimatul 'urs. It means a wedding party that is held to announce to the public…"
Ray stopped his words when he saw Zalynda laughing amusedly
"Yes mr. ustadz, I know the meaning of walimatul 'urs."
Zalynda's laughter faded. The girl simply smiled as she enjoyed the dish she had taken at the buffet table.
"Ray.."
"May I ask you something?"
"Ask aja. If I can answer, I will."
"When was I taken to see your parents?" Zalynda asked softly as she glanced towards Ray
Ray looked at the old Zalynda. Zalynda lowered her head.
"Did I delay?" Think Zalynda
"All single ladies, let's get to the middle. The bride will do a procession of throwing flowers." Excite MC event
Several women began to gather in the middle preparing to receive a bouquet of flowers from Ghea who looked enthusiastically in front
Suddenly Ray stood up. Zalynda looked at Ray's back who was walking away from him towards the center of the room
"Is he angry? Am I impressed to make him introduce me to his parents?" Those questions raged in Zalynda's mind
Ghea started to get ready to throw flowers. The girl turned her back to the participants. Marvin coded his male friends to join a flower throwing event
MC started to drive
"One.. Dua.. Thiga..Lempaar!"
Ghea excitedly threw her bouquet into the air. Laughter rang out across the room as Ghea flowers appeared in the air. Ghea's throw turned out to be strong enough to pass the girls gathered behind him.
Taps..
The bouquet of flowers landed right in the hands of a man. The girls looked back to see who caught the Ghea flower
Ray smiled broadly at the bouquet of flowers in his hand. Then quickly the man went to Zalynda's seat and knelt before the girl while thrusting a bouquet of Ghea flowers
Zalynda's eyes fiddled at Ray who was kneeling before her. Zalynda's face flushed. Some of their friends devoted this rare moment
Claps and shouts from friends Ray and Zalynda encouraged Zalynda to immediately receive a bouquet of flowers that Ray thrust
"Accept.accept..terimaa.."
Zalynda looked around. It seemed Ina was encouraging him, Ghea was whistling loudly, Marvin, Agus and Mike were shouting
"Thank you Ray, Zaa!!"
Slowly Zalynda reached out her hand to pick up the bouquet of flowers that Ray was thrusting. As their hands touched, Ray immediately stood up and pulled Zalynda into his arms
"Tomorrow I'll take you to see your mother's father, yes.." Ray's whisperings in Zalynda's ear
Zalynda was moved. His chest seemed to want to explode from happiness. The girl nodded while holding Ray back. Zalynda felt herself drifting with happiness.

At the same time
A man in a neat suit got off the taxi. His eyes stared at the neatly arranged courtyard with multicolored flowers
The man smiled then stepped inside the beautiful terrace of the house. His fingers moved to squeeze the bell at the door
Tong
Before long, a servant opened the door for her. The waiter nodded politely at him. The man smiled back at the little servant pad
A middle-aged woman was seen walking hastily to greet the man. The man widened his hands and his smile welcomed the middle-aged woman into his arms
The woman hugged the man tightly
"Mama didn't dream, did she? This is really you, right, son?"
The man smiled
"Really, mama. Niel's home.."
