A Heart Bond
Mutual Menere

The quiet afternoon. The sky stretched so wide with its grayish-white tinge. The blue of the sky, covered by clouds like not wanting to share the beautiful twilight.

Like the heart of Naina at the moment, who was being troubled and restless. In two days, Naina will give up her bachelor status. Because in two days, Naina will marry Delvin. Everything was well prepared by Delvin. He really prepared everything.

Naina stared at the afternoon sky in the garden behind her house. He recalled some of his memories with the man he had longed for the past few days.

"How are you De? Do you still remember me? I miss you Dean Pratama."

Naina recalls her first meeting with Dean while at the cafe. How he was so cranky at Dean back then. And now, he could not escape from his shadow. Even though he had tried to eliminate it as hard as he could.

Then, how's Dean doing now?

"Mama and Papa are going to Indonesia in a few days!" Jelita said as she visited the son's office for lunch together.

"Yes Ma." Dean answered briefly.

Dean has started to concern himself with his work at the company. He tried to cover up the turmoil of his heart that had not subsided because he had to part with the woman who managed to seize his heart.

Dean didn't think much about what his mother would do. He is still quite disappointed by the attitude of his mother, who immediately rejects Naina without thinking about her feelings. Not that Dean does not love his mother anymore, it's just that, he has not been able to accept the attitude of his mother some time ago.

"You don't want to know, what is the purpose of Mama and Papa to Indonesia for a few days?" Jelita Cibir.

"Mama and Papa must have some business there, right?" Dean answered while busy staring at some of the papers on his desk.

"Delvin will marry Naina the day after tomorrow." Jelita said without hesitation.

Dean's a little riveted. He stopped his activities for a moment. But, he immediately resumed his activities.

He could not deny, the name Naina is still the sole inhabitant of the deepest corner of his heart. Dean does not think, Naina really married Delvin and in a fairly fast time.

Jelita and Jonathan notice a change in Dean's attitude, even if only for a moment. They knew that her son had not been able to release Naina completely. Although they had been separated by miles away. And also, there is a huge barrier between the feelings of the two.

Dean couldn't regain his focus from hearing Naina's name. He immediately stood up from his chair and grabbed his coat and car keys.

"Sorry Ma, Pa! Dean didn't have lunch with Mom and Dad. Dean has to go meet somebody." Dean said after standing in front of his parents who were sitting on the sofa.

"Suddenly kok?" Ask Jelita plain.

Jelita knew Dean was trying to cover up his feelings that he couldn't express. He knew the son must be sad to hear the news he had just said.

Jelita was convinced, Dean was now wanting to neutralize his own feelings. Regulating the turmoil of his heart that might feel so painful to him.

"Dean must go now Ma! Assalamu'alaikum."

Dean just went by. He quickly walked out of his own room without answering his mother's questions. Dean didn't even heed the greetings from the employees he met.

"Why did you tell Dean about Naina?" Jerk Jonathan after Dean comes out of his room.

"Mama wants her to be able to forget Naina completely Pa. Mama wants him to know that Naina can't be hers." Jelita.

"But should it be this way Ma? Mama doesn't feel sorry for Mama's own son?"

"Then should Mama how else Pa? Mama just wants our son back to life. Not as it is now. Dean is now more like a robot than a human Pa."

"He needs Ma's time."

"Until when is Pa? Don't you forget how Dean changed because of his ex-girlfriend? I don't want that to happen again, Pa."

"Dean is not as likely as it used to be. Papa was sure of that. He just needs more time Ma. Don't force him!"

Yeah, Dean's a robot now. He'll wake up in the morning, then do some exercise for a moment. After that, he ate breakfast with his parents, then went to the office to work. After returning from the office, he immediately locked himself in his room. He just went out of the room to eat or just met his new personal assistant who came looking for him to discuss something.

No more chatter. No more laughter. No more friendly and spoiled greetings from Dean for his parents.

In fact, Dean often ignored the greetings of employees in his office who deliberately greeted him kindly if he crossed paths with him. The dimple is rarely seen on the cheek of the former cassanova.

In fact, Dean was very friendly to many people. He could easily reply to the greetings of the employees in his office. And because of the friendliness and handsome smile that is equipped with two dimples, which makes many women willing to do anything to get close to him.

But now, everything has changed. All because of the heart. The heart that holds all kinds of tastes and desires in the life of every body. The heart, which has now been hurt too deeply.

Dean went out of the office in his car. He only told his assistant by phone that he would leave the office and asked the assistant to cancel all appointments that he would do today.

Dean walked down the streets of Munich with an indeterminate feeling. The news given by her mother really managed to bring a black cloud in her heart. Make his heart covered with a cloud of pain that deepens.

Dean drove his car to a lake south of Munich City, Lake Walchensee. This lake with blue-torquise water is the largest alpine lake in Germany.

Dean walked alone by the lake. Stare blankly in all directions. And ignore the other visitors who pass nearby. In fact, he who is usually meticulous and can feel if followed, does not realize if the assistant has been following him since leaving the office.

Dean's new personal assistant, Leon, is asked by Jonathan to follow wherever Dean goes as long as he is not in Germany. Leon immediately followed Dean out of the office after receiving the assignment.

"Is that really Na? You're getting married to Delvin that soon? Why are you being cruel to me Na?"

Dean's mind screamed stifled. He wanted to scream so hard to let out all the feelings in his heart. It felt like he went to Indonesia to meet Naina and ask her directly. Or even, take Naina to the other hemisphere, and sacrifice everything she has now to be able to live with Naina and Rissa.

"Rissy! I miss you My Princess."

Without Dean knowing it, the clear grain managed to escape from his eyelids and slide down his cheeks. His heart now feels so painful.

"Do I have to let you go now?"

Dean took a deep breath, then greeted him slowly as he continued to stare and wipe the photo of Naina and Rissa on his phone.

Long Dean sat there alone. Just sit still. Sometimes he saw the blue water of the lake and then the other visitors. Leon approaches her and asks her to return to the residence as it begins to turn dusk. Dean finally complies with Leon's request.

...****************...

The wet morning. The capital is being endowed with goodness by the Power with rain that brings good to all. Raindrops have soaked the capital's soil since last night alternately in some areas.

And now, in one of the famous hotel ballrooms in the capital, there are several preparations for a sacred event. Delvin and Naina are getting married this morning.

And it turns out, Delvin broke his promise a little. He invited several reporters or news seekers from two private television stations and several vloggers to cover his wedding today. And Naina doesn't know that.

In the bride's dressing room, Naina is being accompanied by Lea and Hera.

"Are you sure Na did this?" Lea's question convinced Naina's heart.

"Naina how else, Ma'am? The hospital hasn't told you until yesterday." Naina replied.

"Aren't you going to do that first?" Tanya Hera tried to come up with a solution.

"I have to give Delvin the same reason so he doesn't suspect anything?" Naina replied.

"Yes too. He's pretty sneaky. Surely he can tell if there's any other meaning to your reasoning that might not make sense." Hera Timpal.

"Mother Rissa why hasn't she come?" Naina muttered worriedly.

"Prophe Na! Rissa said someone was missing." Lea tried to calm Naina down.

Naina finally tried to calm herself down. He also chatted back with Lea and Hera while waiting for the WO to call him.

While in the groom's dressing room, Delvin was smiling happily in front of the mirror accompanied by his mother.

"We're getting closer to our goal Ma." Delvin was proud.

"Yes Vin. In a moment, we can make your Papa smile happily up there." Jenita's voice is a little.

"Yes Ma. In a minute." Delvin Imbuh.

Jenita and Delvin also chatted with each other a lot of things while waiting for the WO party to start the event.

Until, the two brides were called by the WO party to attend the ballroom because the event was about to begin.

Naina is shocked when she enters the ballroom with Lea and Hera. He starts to get a camera that he never expected. His heart began to be upset at Delvin who had broken his promise. But, he couldn't possibly create a commotion at the moment. So, he chose silence and walked towards the bridal table accompanied by Lea and Hera.

Naina and Delvin are then welcome to sit next to each other in a simple table that has been decorated with some beautiful flowers and trinkets.

"Where's Rissa?" Delvin asked after not seeing Naina's little angel.

"He hasn't arrived yet. Something was left in the house. So he took it with Mom." Honest Naina.

"Oow, so." Answer Delvin briefly.

"Can we start now?" Ask penghulu.

"Sorry sir, can we wait for my mother and daughter for a moment? They'll be here soon." Naina answered trying to delay for the sake of her two dearest.

"alright. Let's wait for them." Answer penghulu friendly.

"Thank you sir." Sahut Naina is friendly.

Naina immediately turned to Delvin.

"You broke your promise." Naina said briefly and slightly whispered near Delvin's ear.

Delvin looked at Naina.

"I can explain Na!" Delvin tried to defend himself.

"I don't need your explanation!" Ketus Naina while removing face from Delvin.

Delvin finally did not respond to Naina's annoyance. She just wanted to focus on her wedding today.

Ten minutes passed. Naina starts to get nervous because Sekar and Rissa never arrive. He is not happy if he has to make the ruler and guests wait a long time. Till,,

"Mommy!"

The screams echoed in the ears of the audience. A little girl in a knee-length white dress ran towards the bridal table.

Naina smiled with relief at the sight of her daughter arriving. A little further behind him, Sekar tried to run after the little girl who ran so fast to get to her mother.

Delvin and the hikers, who are aware of Rissa and Sekar's presence, begin to prepare to start the event.

"Let's start the show ijab qobulnya!" Said penghulu sure.
