“Bu Rere, I ask for an explanation!!!” Maya said early in the morning when Regina had just arrived in her office.
“Exposure make..?” Regina asked pretended to be confused. He knew what Maya wanted to know about him. The big question is why Gian came to his office last Friday, and the explanation about the photo of Gian he posted on social media.
“Inii, this..” Maya said while showing the photo of Gian that Regina uploaded. “Bu Rere, dating Gian Hadian Airlangga?” Continue with a storm.
Regina answered him with a smile.
“Kok can, Mom? Aaaaaa Duringaaaat!!! I'm envious but go along with it! I'm the one who took it, Mom! Even Bu Rere is dating.” Maya could not stop babbling and asked him questions. Regina simply listened and answered as necessary with a smile.
“This certainly also sent Mr Gian yes?” The word Maya points to a red Carnation Flower that has been placed in a vase filled with water on top of Regina's document cabinet. “So someone sent this flower to Bu Rere, but there is no sender name. Must be from Mr Gian, right?” Cheerful next.
“Tau know.” Regina was confused. Maybe it was Gian. He probably did such things to theatricalize and deceive many people, including Regina's colleagues at Edmode. Regina ignored him, she did not want to bother what Gian wanted to do.
“IIh is handsome, romantic too. I swear I'm jealous, Buuuu. Anyway I support you guys until legit.”
“Oh about it. I want permission to leave for work on Thursday and Friday. I have a family event this weekend. If there is an urgent, send it via email. I have a laptop.” Regina.
“Don't Bu Rere mauu.. “ Say Maya tease.
“Yes, I want a Saturday application.” Reply Regina relaxed.
“WHAAAAAATT??!! Just yesterday the courtship, this week already want a proposal. Iiih Bu Rere with Pak Gian sat set sat set. Cool really!” Maya gets noisier after hearing the news of a proposal from Regina.
“Do not make a fuss and do not anyone first yes before the event is done.” Regina Pinta.
“Ready, Mom! Maya can keep a secret!”

Regina had booked a train ticket from Gambir Station to Bandung at 6:40. He did not want to drive himself to Bandung. His uncle never allowed him to drive a car if he came home, it is better to take a train and rest during the trip and it will be safer if you leave by train. Gian had offered to take his driver to Bandung, but Regina refused. He prefers to use the train.
Gian picked her up at the apartment at 6 a.m. Then take her to the station and wait for the train with her. Before leaving, they had breakfast together. Regina doesn't know Gian's motive for doing it. He used to go home by himself on the train early in the morning without having to be escorted. Maybe this was part of his plan, his lie. Regina was already indifferent and wanted all of this to end quickly, so that she could continue her life.
The train leaves at 6:40. Regina could see Gian still waiting until the train moved from the window. Then his figure gradually disappeared as the carriage walked. This was his last trip to Bandung as himself, as Regina. After this there are roles that he will play in the future. There are many lies that he will tell.
Regina is not a loveless person like Gian, on her life journey she is filled with romance with the man she likes. He's gone through a period of monkey love, first love, unforgettable ex, first kiss, even going through an endless engagement of marriage. Imagining that he would promise with a stranger left him confused. This is not the love story he wanted. In her heart she still hopes to find a man who loves her and be her husband, besides Gian.
At about 09:20 the train arrived at Bandung Station. Her uncle and aunt were waiting in the car parked in the station parking lot. Regina immediately recognized the red Kijang car they were driving.
“Breakfast, Neng?” Ask her aunt when Regina got in the car.
“Udah was the same morning Gian.” The answer.
“Oh delivered earlier?”
“Iya.” Regina said with a smile.
The car then drove towards the New Market. They intend to choose kebaya and batik materials that will be used during this Saturday application. Regina says she wants to sew her own danger. Although this proposal was only theatrical and nonsense, he could not wear any clothes. When Regina got engaged 4 years ago, she also made her own uniform while expecting the engagement to continue at the wedding. But now she was sewing and twisting every thread for her dress hoping that this marriage would not bring her calamity.

Gian and his family left for Bandung on Friday afternoon. The group that came from the family of Yuniar and his children, then Arsila, his mother, and Darius his girlfriend. Arriving there they stayed at one of the hotels in the Setiabudhi area of Bandung, making it closer to Lembang.
They left for Regina's house Saturday afternoon. Their arrival was welcomed by Regina's family and close neighbors who helped. They chatted in the living room and the living room. Sundanese specialties are served there.
Regina walked into the room where guests and family gathered. All eyes were on him, many praising the girl's appearance. He wore a mauve-colored kebaya, with asymmetrical cuts on the bottom, with an additional lace of silk on the waist that made him look slender, and slim, and complete with batik cloth for his subordinates sewn with brocade on the side. His face was already covered with semi-bold makeup, with a glossy red lipstick color. His black hair did not forget to be styled using a low bun style with French braid, featuring a white collar neck.
MC started the opening event then continued by expressing the purpose and purpose of the arrival of the male party represented by Om Bayu. After that, the woman conveyed the answer to the intention of the arrival of the male family. Regina gave a timid answer and smiled, the atmosphere was liquid because the MCs gave funny comments that were greeted by laughter and the smiles of the guests.
Gian had been silent since, not even reacting to the atmosphere around him. Ever since Regina appeared in the room, her eyes were only focusing on looking at her. Just this time he saw Regina's appearance like that. Gian does admit Regina is beautiful and attractive, even from the beginning he met when pitching. He also doesn't question how Alex likes Regina and approaches her, as well as the comments of his friends when Regina brought Alex at Arsila's party. She's beautiful, that's obvious. But seeing her wearing a kebaya, smiling shyly, her eyes sparkling, with all the makeup that made her unable to take her eyes off.
Aware of the nap that her charmed niece had done to Regina, Yuniar pinched Gian's arm so that he could focus on the event. After that glared at him ferociously.
The event continued with the exchange of rings. Yuniar put a ring on Regina's finger. While Aunt Regina put a ring on Gian's finger. Darius was busy capturing the moment with his camera. He continued to take pictures of Gian and Regina both, as well as with the family. Darius excitedly directed the poses of Gian and Regina. Gian was like a person who was being hypnotized, constantly staring at Regina endlessly which made her much commented on and teased by the guests.
The wedding date has been approved. Through a lot of consideration and discussion from both sides of the family. They concluded to hold a wedding one month from the day of application. A good day that has been calculated and determined.
