A Sugar Baby
The Day Arrives
The day has finally arrived.
Lea seemed to be sitting in front of the glass, while letting the makeup artist finish the last touch on her face.
While Adisty, Ariana, Vita, and Nina have finished in makeup first and now they are wearing pastel bridesmaids.
"It's over."
The artist's makeup told Lea, a moment later Lea stood up. Lea's friends helped tidy up the bride's dress.
Lea smiled at herself in front of the glass. And his friends smile at their friends. The dress she chose as well as the makeup she wore seemed to blend together and make her look different this time.
"Tok, tock, tock."
There was a knocking on the door. The makeup artist gave Lea a bouquet of flowers, as it was definitely a knock from Richard.
Leah walked towards the door. Adisty and Ariana open the door, while Vita and Nina walk in from behind.
Lea took a breath, though this was her second time having a wedding with Daniel. But somehow his heart is pounding, like the first time undergoing.
Richard turned his head towards him and looked at Lea in amazement. This time, Lea looks more beautiful than usual.
And somehow Richard's emotions seemed to merge with Lea. Her teary eyes held back tears as if she was just about to let go of her daughter to get married.
Maybe because by the time Lea and Daniel were married, he didn't know if Lea was his daughter. Now he became a full-fledged father, who would deliver the child to the man he chose.
"Are you ready?" ask Richard.
Lea nodded. The man then reached out and was greeted by Lea. Lea began to step up, followed by her friends.
Elsewhere, Daniel, who had arrived first with Ellio, was waiting. The invitations had already crowded the event venue since a while ago. Almost all of them have come.
"Lo koq is nervous, bro?" ledek Ellio to Daniel.
"Not knowing anjir, but it has become my bini" replied Daniel while holding back a laugh.
Soon, a small retinue of Lea's younger siblings and her nieces appeared. They joined hands and brought flowers.
Daniel, Ellio, and the invitations smiled at the innocent funny faces. Lea's other sister, Leo, was in the audience seat with her mother. Darriel herself is carried by Marsha, who is also in the audience seat.
Richard started to look, he walked while holding Lea. Daniel's heart was racing, as if he was getting married for the first time.
A song from the wedding singer also flowed, along with the steps of his wife and in-laws.
Everyone looked happy and pelted the middle area with flower petals. Leah smiled at everyone present. And despite having seen Lea dress up often, but the touch of makeup artist this time really makes Daniel feel amazed.
Lea looked so beautiful in her eyes. He compared it to when they were married. Where Lea was just wearing makeshift makeup. It was like getting married to a rich man. Maybe the one who married a simple man out there, and he was more wah than Lea at that time.
"Pull a breath, bro."
Seloroh Ellio with a seductive tone from behind. Daniel just smiled and took a deep breath. Richard and Lea continued to step up and got closer.
When he arrived, Richard handed over his only daughter to Daniel. Then a procession was held that was similar to the submission of questions. Daniel will be with Leah forever and vice versa.
This is just as symbolic, then they both re-pair the wedding ring on their partner's finger. Applause and cheers also broke in the place.
Lea had a little tear, because the marriage of her dreams has now materialized. He has memories and stories that he can save for his children. While Daniel was relieved because his debt had been paid.
Even if getting married is simple, it doesn't hurt. And better, than forcing a big party but the money from borrowing here and there.
But this time Daniel is able and has a cost for it. So what's wrong with celebrating, because this will be remembered for the rest of their lives.

"I never knew I had a child."
The audience listened to Richard speak, while sitting in their respective places. They are currently enjoying the appetizer while listening to the welcoming agenda of the people closest to the bride and groom.
"But today I drove my son to marry the man he loved. The man I hope will take care of my son forever, with all the body and love he has. The man I hoped would not hurt and betray my son, no matter what."
The audience was silent and dissolved in a full atmosphere. While Lea and Richard had been slightly bowed since earlier.
Of course, Richard wasn't kidding. He is expressing his heart and hope as a father.

A few moments passed.
"Daniel is a dear friend of mine, besides Richard."
Ellio said, representing Daniel's side.
"He is a man who can take good care of his wife and children. He also loves his little family. Through this conversation I hope. That Daniel will continue to be like that, and not change even if time will move away. I sincerely hope the household she runs in will always run smoothly without obstacles." Ellio paused a bit of his speech by taking a breath.
"I also hope that Lea will grow up. And increasingly able to cooperate in the household. That's all my hope, other than Daniel stop snoring when you sleep."
"Don, sat. What's grumbling is elo yes, where have I been." chirped Daniel as if to throw a plate into Ellio's head..
Everyone present at the place was laughing. Ellio was very difficult to take seriously. As serious as he is, there must be an end that makes people laugh. Though all those present had dissolved into an increasingly emotional feeling, after that Richard also did the same thing.
One by one a greeting from Lea's mother and friends was heard at the place. The atmosphere of marriage is not just eating, but also full of hope.
After the reception, again heard singing from the wedding singer. And of course this adds to the atmosphere.
