Fabian was still pacing back and forth in his room. Since then, his future wife could not be contacted. Fabian has already sent a lot of messages to Mentari. But Mentari never returned it. Fabian has also called Mentari several times. But Mentari won't pick up the phone from Fabian.
"Where is Mentari. Why hasn't he come yet. What Mentari and his family, are stuck in traffic on the road" Fabian muttered.
From then on, Fabian could only stare at his phone. There has been no news from the family of his future wife. Fabian is currently very worried. The feeling is not good. Fabian was afraid, nothing would happen to Mentari.
Ring.ring...
Fabian's phone suddenly rang. Fabian immediately picked up his phone.
"Hello Om. Why just call me? why did it come so long ago, Om? Mentari is ready, is it Om?"
"Fabees. Looks like, your wedding, it's gonna have to be annulled, son."
"What's? how to cancel Om? but why?"
"Fabian, Mentari no Fabian. Om's been looking everywhere, but he's not there."
"Keep, where is Dong Om going?"
"Nor do I know."
"Don't tell me Mentari ran away and left this marriage."
"Entah Son. Mentari may have left home. He checked his closet, all his clothes he took away."
"What! how could he leave me. So, how's this going with the wedding, Om?"
"Fabian, Om doesn't know either."
"Yes that. I hung up on Om. Assalamualaikum."
"Wa'alaikumsalam."
Fabian cut off his phone line. After that he went out of his room. Fabian went down the stairs and he stepped up to approach his parents.
Arriving in the living room, Fabian stopped his steps.
"Mama, Papa, it looks like Mentari will not come here" Fabian said.
"What do you mean Fabian?" ask Reva Fabian's mom.
"Speaking is not in his house. Looks like he's out of the house."
"Do you know where Mentari's going?" ask Damar Fabian's father.
"So Om Riko called me. He said Mentari wasn't in his room."
"Kok can be like that anyway," said Bu Reva.
Damar Fabian's father rubbed his face rough. He was very disappointed with his son-in-law.
"Mentari can run away at times like this. Really embarrassing...!" furious Mr. Damar.
Mr. Damar did not end up thinking with Mentari. For years she had been in a relationship with her son Fabian, but on her wedding day, she had the heart to run away from the marriage.
Fabian could only shut up. His feelings at this moment, were completely stifled. The marriage that he had dreamed of with Mentari, was destroyed just because Mentari ran away from the marriage.
"What should we do now Pa?" Bu Reva deeply regrets Mentari's decision.
"Papa also thought of Ma. Papa was ashamed of Ma, papa's guests in front were many. What will you tell them."
Since then Mr. Damar can only pacing. He seemed to be thinking hard to find a solution to overcome this problem.
Mr. Damar has wasted a lot of money and time preparing for the wedding. But with a flash, his future son-in-law had already destroyed the event.
Mr. Damar does not want to be ashamed. He wanted the marriage to be done without a mentor. Because Mr. Damar also did not want to disappoint his invited guests.
Mr. Damar's guests, not from ordinary people. But most of them are successful business people from Mr. Damar's business colleagues.
'What should I do now. I don't want to be ashamed. I want this party to go well. I need to find a replacement for Fabian. But who.'
Mr. Damar has started to rack his brains, to find a surrogate woman for his son. It can't be, the marriage has to be done. Inevitably, Fabian had to get married today as well. That's what Mr. Damar is thinking now.
"After all, this marriage must continue. I don't want to be disappointed like this and be ashamed."
Mr. Damar then stepped towards the kitchen. He approached Syanum, the son of his current driver, who was busy preparing the parasmans for the wedding.
"Syanum. Can you come with me for a minute?" ask Mr. Damar.
"What's up, sir?" ask Syanum.
"There's something I want to talk to you about."
Syanum furrowed his brows in confusion.
"What?"
Syanum just nodded. He then followed his master up to the top floor.
"Mr Damar, why did Mr Damar bring me here?"
"Syanum, I don't want much further ado. Do you want Syanum, to replace Mentari as Fabian's wife?" ask Mr. Damar who made Syanum surprised.
"What?"
"Syanum. Sir beg Syanum. You're Syanum, the only woman you could hope to be a good wife to my son."
"But, Mr. Fabian is not in love with me, Mr. Damar. He's just in love with Non Mentari."
Damar smile.
"Anyways, you should marry Fabian. I'll love whatever you want. Just so you want to marry my son. Because Mentari escaped Syanum. She would never come here and marry Fabian."
Syanum breathed deeply.
"But why should I be Mr" Syanum said.
"Syanum. There's no more time. The wedding will begin soon. You must replace Mentari to become Fabian's wife."
Syanum still looked shocked to hear the words of his master. He has been dumb since.
****
Mr. Damar is not out of his mind. He called Luna his bangs to apply makeup for Syanum.
"Om, why did Om call me here?" ask Luna.
"Luna, you can make up Syanum's face."
"But what's Om for?"
"In the closet, there's Dila's kebaya. Please put it on Syanum. And help you make Syanum's face as beautiful as possible."
Luna did not understand with her Om intent.
"Luna. Don't bengong. Do now...!" sentak Mr. Damar.
"Oh, good Om."
Luna still did not understand what this all meant. Why Mr. Herman's son should be groomed like a bride.
Syanum since then, still according to Luna. Luna put on makeup for Syanum and put on Dila's kebaya Fabian's older sister.
Luna smiled as she had already managed to conjure up Syanum's face into beauty.
"You are so beautiful, Syanum."
"Non Luna could. I'm not the pretty one. But, Non is good at putting on my makeup so I can be this beautiful."
"But by the way, what's Om Damar doing this for? A
is he going to tell you to meet the guests in front?"
Syanum. Syanum was ashamed to be a substitute bride. He also won't know how Fabian and the guests will react when he comes down.
Syanum had still lowered his head.
"Why Syanum? why are you sad?" ask Luna.
Syanum looked at Luna.
"How can I not be sad Non. Mr. Damar, tell me to marry Mr. Fabian."
"What...!" Luna jumped in shock.
He did not expect that Syanum would replace Mentari.
"You're serious about Syanum?"
"Non Mentari will never come here. Because she's run away from home, Non Luna."
"Are you sure ? I'm not dreaming anymore, am I?"
Luna pinched her own hand violently.
"Oh. It's not a dream."
Luna looked closely at Syanum.
"Will Fabian marry you Syanum?"
"I don't know either. But, I can't refuse my employer's request."
