"I'm sick Ay, struggling alone for years without any certainty. Why Ay, why can't you just open your heart and your feelings for me?!"
Shouted Alex as he pointed at his own chest, tears were no longer able to hold the man. For too long he had kept this feeling alone without anyone knowing how ill his struggling.
"Alex.a...,"
"Silent Ay, I need to talk. Sometimes I want you to beat me up."
"I beg you, Lupain Rayhan. We want to marry Kayla, and getting married is not for fun. I love you, but I don't want to marry someone who doesn't feel like me. I'm not that selfish as Kayla." Alex walked up to Kayla. The tall girl was just shoulder to shoulder, staring at Alex.
Alex grabbed Kayla's shoulder, then rubbed her gently. "I love you, Ay.." Alex said with a smile. The eyes that were reddened by the cry earlier, were now emitting a great hope.
Kayla just nodded with a faint smile, unable to answer Alex's sentence. Not unable, more precisely Kayla did not want to lie. Because 'yet' there's affection in Kayla's heart for Alex.
"I want you to escape her completely Kayla, live your new life. There is no point in keeping feelings for someone who does not exist, it will all end in vain! You're not tired, Ay? You don't lie to your own feelings....,"
"Stop Lex, yes I will try to accept you. I promise I'll spare him!" Kayla cried out in anger and cries. Kayla was not able to listen to Alex's long chatter that increasingly cornered her.

Two days passed quickly and the wedding day came. All preparations are 99% perfect. Ian and Viona had been busy preparing since dawn. Couples who have been married for almost ten months are increasingly looking more romantic.
In fact, it often makes Kayla feel embarrassed when at home, because Ian and Viona are deliberately showing intimacy.
In a famous hotel owned by the Wijaya family, the building is decorated so beautifully. Flower makeup was scattered everywhere, making the eyes so reluctant to take their eyes off. This typical wedding decoration with Arab culture is the wish of Kayla. The girl has a dream, wants to marry an Arab custom that is thick with the teachings of Islam.
Alex was sitting on a chair facing the head, waiting for the bride who had not yet entered the room. Ten minutes had passed from the allotted time, but Kayla had yet to enter the room. Makes Alex feel a little furious because his patience is starting to disappear.
While smoothing out the words of his kabul ijab, Alex tried to hold back a little more patience. Trying to be prejudiced against Kayla, it was possible that the girl was sedah walking towards this room.
Slowly the sound of the door opening, made the entire room turn to the source of the sound. Looked a girl with a clean white wedding dress and dangling wrapped her tiny body. Kayla, the girl with the wedding dress looks very charming, the height is fairly decent and also the color of clean white skin looks harmonious with the dress she wears. Not to forget the white veil that also covers part of his face.
Kayla walks with Lisa and Viona beside her, while Ian is near Alex.
Kayla sits on a pulpit separated from Alex, a few meters away. Kayla will only watch the kabul ijab that Alex does from a distance.
"Are you ready?" Asked the ruler, breaking Alex's faint smile.
"God willing..," replied Alex steadily.
the feeling here guys just gw yahh??
Kayla who heard Alex's reply from a distance closed her eyes as, there should be no tears spilling at this moment. Not that he's promised to accept Alex as his best man.
But honestly, there were still deep doubts in Kayla's heart. There was still a bit of rejection that he wanted to voice.
Today, it should be a beautiful history in her life, shouldn't it? The wedding day is the day that will be the most beautiful history in one's life. But not Kayla, it's her wedding day. But it wasn't with Alex that she wanted, in her heart Kayla still held faith. The belief that Rayhan will come again, and will lead him to happiness.
Kayla's heart thumped, Kayla felt she shouldn't have accepted this marriage.
I don't want to lie to my own feelings, and I don't want you to hurt Lex.
Kayla quickly wiped away her tears so that no one could see, Lisa who was sitting not far beside her then approached.
"Kay, you have to be strong. Maybe this is the best, I'm sure Alex is the right man to be your priest. Lo's strong Kayla..," Lisa embraces Kayla's shoulder, giving her best friend the strength to accept reality.
"I can't lie Lis, my heart is heavy for this wedding, I'm not ready for Lisa." Kayla looked down, hiding her tears.
"Bisamillahmannirahman.. Alex Pratama, I marry you to my younger sister Kayla Natasha Wijaya bint Wijaya with a set of tools and 10 million Rupiah worth of money paid in cash!"
Ian's loud voice rang out clearly, making Kayla's tears fall even more. The girl was unable to hide her sadness, that in fact she would soon be legally Alex's wife. A friend who will always be my best friend will never be a real love.
"I accepted Kayla Natasha Wijaya's marriage and marriage with Wijaya....,"
"Assalamualaikum..," A voice sounded in the distance, but not many noticed. Probably because I thought only guests were late.
"Assalamualaikum..," The voice sounded again, this time it sounded louder. Making Kayla and Lisa spontaneously turn to the source of the sound. Kayla's eyes were perfectly rounded when she saw the figure of someone standing in the doorway. The girl stood up, followed by Lisa who also stood up while covering her mouth concealing shock.
