“Kak Asha, there is a woman who wants to meet you.” Gisel opened the door of the bride's room which appeared in the all-white decor, where Asha was looking at herself in front of the mirror.
Asha glanced at her future sister-in-law while tidying the bouquet in her hand while Lina, who was entrusted as MUA to make up for her, gave the final touch to her eye makeup to make it look more bold.
“Who?”
“Says brother Asha.”
“Let him wait a little while longer, this is almost done.” Sahut Asha's.
“But..”.
“But what?”
“But, he seems very eager to meet with brother Asha.”
Asha frowned, looking at Gina with a bit of curiosity.
“Which friend?”
Gisel, the teenager who had just become a high school student, shook his head, looking confused to answer Asha's question.
“Ask him, what's up?” Asha looked at Gina through the reflection of the makeup mirror in front of her, this sister-in-law flicked her shoulders and immediately walked out while closing the door again.
“Which friend of mine, huh? Can't you wait until I get out? Congratulate kan’ can after the completion of the marriage contract procession? I'm just now again nervous instead of playing.” Asha bathin, while Lina looks at Asha's face in the mirror with a satisfied smile.
“Perpect! Today you will be the most beautiful bride in the world.” Seloroh Lina who made Asha's face instantly blushed.
“Kak Asha's..!” The door of the room opened again and seemed to be pushed in great haste.
“Gisel?”
“She really really wanted to meet with sister Asha. Now she is crying she said.”.
Gina had not yet finished her sentence, a woman with a light brown dress on her knees burst in, her face swollen, even tears seemed to still melt on her cheeks.
“Hah..” Asha turned her dressing chair, looking at the woman standing beside Gina with a confused and surprised look. He was confused because he did not know at all the woman with long hair that was smeared as if it was and was certainly surprised by her appearance as if she was being overwhelmed with deep sadness.
“Who are you?” ask Asha then, remaining in confusion.
“I.. I want to talk to you." He answered with a trembling voice.
“Talk?”
“Ya..”
“About what?”
“About your future husband Gading.”
Asha gasped, when she heard the name of her future husband called from the lips of the woman who was completely unknown to her.
“What's wrong with Ivory sister?” Gina now who was glaring at the woman, was just as surprised to hear her brother's name being carried around.
“I want to hold Ivory accountable, for this child I bear..” The voice of the woman was heard softly before she lowered her head and sobbed, but even exceeded the sound of the almighty lightning in Asha's ears.
“A..what? What do you mean?” Asha was glued to her seat, she subconsciously dropped the bouquet of flowers she was holding while her unblinking eyes looked at the increasingly hardened woman sobbing while holding her flat-looking belly.
“Hey, don't be careless by the way!” Gisel shouted at the woman who did not dare to raise her face.
“I just want to tell you, I'm pregnant Ivory child.” He curled up, leaning against the wall with a scared face as Gisel pushed his shoulders with an annoyed face.
“Gisel...!” Asha stood up and pulled her future sister-in-law away from the girl who looked intimidated by Gisel's attitude.
“Has your sister arrived?” Asha asked, trying to act calm despite her heart rumbling like it was about to collapse.
“Ivoire in the room with mom, she is dressed. Invitational guests are coming soon.” Gisel Sahut.
The wedding ceremony as well as the wedding reception of Asha and Gading will indeed be held in a hotel, because in this hotel building there is a large enough ballroom for the reception event while beside the hall is provided a special room where to carry out the marriage contract, which will be, so this five-star hotel is often rented by people to carry out wedding celebrations because it is very efficient. Catering and all the decorations, all packaged by the hotel.
“But, says mama the bride should not meet before akad.”
“Just tell Gading here!” Asha's voice sounded up high with a trembling tone, Lina saw that coming out of the room immediately. Without asking any more Gisel ran out following Lina's back.
“Tell me what's your name? Before I call security to throw you out of my room for trying to disrupt my marriage.” Asha growled, now she was trying to temper her emotions.
If he obeyed this unflinching feeling, his colorful fingers filled with henna paintings would strangle the woman in front of him.
“My name..Laras..” He replied timidly, if judging by his age, maybe Laras is three four years older than Asha who is now exactly 25 years old on her wedding day.
“Are you really pregnant with Ivory Child?”
“Ya..”
“How do you know mas Gading?”
“I knew him three months ago..”
“Where?”
“In hotel Venus, where I work.”
“You're dating her?”
Laras shook his head while looking down, his fingers squeezing each other.
“Then how did you get pregnant? Mas Gading raped you?”
Laras fell silent, then timidly he stole a glance at Asha who was still buying her in bridal attire, the lacy veil was preoccupied with an emotional attitude that tried to be held as if he did not want to miss every movement of the woman in front of him.
“She..she slept with me one night while she was drunk after a party with her friends. She...forcing me to do it, I can't turn her down.”
Asha stood like a mannequin statue in front of Laras which was now more trembling than before.
“Do not try to lie to me. I'll report you to the authorities for defamation. Not only you but all your family I will sue!”
She could hardly believe it, Ivory, the man who was soon to be her husband, could do this to her.
“Mbak can report me..I resigned, mbak. I only have a foster mother, the owner of the Flower of Love Orphanage. I don't have to worry about anything, other than the baby that's now in my womb.” Laras's soft answer left Asha dumbfounded, trying to keep her from holding back a million fury that seemed to be pouring out of her chest.
During this time, Gading was a good man, who even touched Asha during dating until being engaged to Asha for two years this was nothing more than kissing her. How could he then fuck another woman he only knew in one night?
The door of the hotel room that was not locked was opened from the outside, Ivory appeared there in white and peci clothes that match the bride's clothes wrapped in Asha's body.
“What's up?”
The question was stuck in his throat when he saw who was now in their bridal room.
“La...Laras?” The handsome ivory face was crimson so shocked that he could not move.
Asha's heart crumpled dimly at the expression of her future husband, which hinted she knew Laras even she looked frightened by the presence of the woman.
At first, Asha still hoped this woman was just storytelling to try to disrupt her marriage but now she felt her knees wobbly.
This woman named Laras who came with tears on her, did not speak nonsense.
Asha's tears seeped out from the corner of her eyes, now she truly felt her world was about to end.
