As planned last night, from the morning Ardi and Dara have gone to the places they will visit. And they chose to go to a shoemaker for their first purpose.
In a gallery room they were sitting opposite the designer. Dara revealed what kind of shoes she wanted to wear at her wedding. In accordance with Dara's direction, the designer began to scratch his pencil on white paper. It didn't take long for the designer to stop the scratching. Dara's wedding shoe sketch is ready. He was very amazed at the result.
After agreeing to the sketch, they say goodbye and go to their next destination. It was a bridal boutique.
As in general, many bridal boutiques are displayed beautiful white dresses in storefronts. From fairy tale princess dresses to simple and elegant ones on display in a props sculpture. Dara was amazed when she saw the beautiful dress. He almost forgot what he was looking for.
One of the shopkeepers accompanied her around looking for the dress she wanted. Eventually she found it among a pile of other white dresses. Long white dress with matching color lace fabric application on her back. Dara's eyes twinkled at the dress. The shopkeeper immediately wrapped it in a beautiful box and gave it to Dara.
Finished business with clothes and shoes, now they go to hotel H. They want to make sure the place has been booked by Adit's father by phone. They also want to discuss about the food that will be served at the party later. They also met with the WO team who have often collaborated with hotel H. Their discussion was quite long as it covered all the details of the event.
" Huh!" Dara exhaled slightly harshly as she sat in the car. " Sniff! But half of it we've taken care of. Invitations and souvenirs." Dara put a mark on the list she made last night. Then he put it back in his bag.
" Tomorrow the WO team will send an example home. You can choose it casually tomorrow."
" Em." Dara nodded.
"It was good this afternoon. I have not seen you eat or drink a drop of water. Before we go home we stop by to eat first.. I don't want you to do anything. Two more days of our marriage."
" No need, brother. We go straight home. Today for the next two days my mother told me to fast."
" Fast? Make what?"
" Don't know! Mama said let the aura shine like that."
" His aura emanated that? Ahaha.."
" Brother Ardi!" Dara smacks her lover's shoulder spoiled.
" Haha.. Forgive me! Forgive me!" Ardi caught one of Dara's hands.
Dara puffed her lips.
" In my eyes you will always look beautiful" said Ardi softly.
" Gombal!" Dara pulled her hand out of Ardi's.
" Lho? Kok gombal. The reality is so."
" Yes yes. We go home now yuk. Let's not be too late."
" Ok!" Ardipun turned on his car engine, drove him out of the parking lot of the H hotel.
Arriving at Mr. Malik's house, they were both greeted by Tika's mother who had been waiting for their arrival.
" The last thing to wait for was also" said Tika's mother as Dara kissed the back of her hand.
" Sorry, Mah. You were talking to the hotel and WO as well" explained Ardi.
" Yudah, go in first yuk, Di. Somebody wants mom and dad to talk to you both."
Dara holds the hand of her beloved mother and Ardi follows her behind. Mr. Malik who already knew their arrival from the inside, immediately met them in the living room.
" Have you come home, Ra?" ask Papa Malik as he walks over to his daughter.
" Yes, Pah."
" What's up, Pah? Seems serious," asked Dara probing.
" It's nothing, son. Just papa just wants to hold a pingitan event for you before the wedding."
" Pingitans? There are still pings today, huh?"
" It's not a ping that's how, Ra. Mama just want you guys not to meet until the wedding day arrives," explained Mama Tika.
" But the invitation and souvenir business has not been stretched. Who's gonna take care of it later?"
" You don't have to worry. We can monitor it on the phone, Ra. Later I will also coordinate with Iqbal for other management," added Ardi.
" That's right Ardi said. Papa will also tell Doni so he will be busy taking care of your wedding," said papa Malik.
" What would Doni want? Later instead made even more chaotic?" dengus.
" Don't think like that about your brother, Ra! He has not accepted Ardi as your partner. But papa's sure your brother won't make such a faux pas that he embarrasses his family."
" Yes, Ra. However, Doni is your brother. You have to believe in Doni. He will definitely give his best for his beloved sister" Ardi said.
" all right. I'll give you to Doni's mas the details to do."
" Give it to papa. You'll tell Doni."
Dara took out a notebook from inside her bag and gave it to Papa Malik's hand.
" Alright, Pah. Then I'll permit a farewell. I want to do another preparation," said Ardi while getting up from his seat.
" Be careful on the road. Greetings to Mr. Adit and also to Ms. Adit" said Malik.
" Good, Pah. Later I say," said Ardi while kissing both hands of his future father-in-law.
Just now that Ardi left Mr. Malik's residence, Doni just got home out of nowhere. Papa Malik who knew the arrival of his son immediately called him into the study.
" Don, papa asked you to take care of the wedding preparations Dara yes," said papa Malik while putting a notebook in front of Doni.
" So you're calling me here to talk about Dara's marriage?" ask Doni annoyed.
" You are Dara's only sister. You don't want to help your own sister. He's your beloved sister. The worm's overheating."
" But, Pah..."
" But why? You still aren't sure about Ardi? Papa knows you love your sister so much that you don't want to let go of her with someone you don't already know. But it's your own sister's choice. He is old enough to decide his life. We just need to support and watch him from afar" said Malik.
" But still, Pah. I'm not willing to just let Dara go with that guy. I'll find out all about Ardi. Especially..."
" What more?" search papa Malik.
" Moreover last night someone emailed me pictures of Ardi with a woman. And I think that woman is Rina Rosa."
" What?" papa Malik is shocked. " What do you mean, Don? You don't make it up. Don't you lie!"
" I'm not lying, Pah. Rizal and I are investigating all of that right now. That's why I can't handle Dara's wedding. I have another mission."
Papa Malik was stunned to hear what Doni said just now. Believe it or not, he was confused. Is that really what Doni said? Or is he just making things up so this marriage is off? Or is it we who have been lied to by Ardi with his humble look?
