Between the Three Hearts
Chapters. 50 DTH

The day of the wedding had arrived, Ica wore a very beautiful dress with short sleeves and some Sequin on her chest. It's like her when she was in a fashion competition in school. Ica looks very beautiful and charming, but unfortunately the aura of her face is not like her face. He looks sad with this marriage, he should be the one beside Rizi but now his position was taken over by Elza the younger brother. Yes, they are called siblings because they are still one father even though they were born from different wombs.

Ica gives up her future husband because she feels that Elza needs Rizi more than she does. Shame of course is borne by the family, but they try not to care and the party is quite simple. All the preparations were so heartily canceled and became a simple feast.

"I must be strong, do not be weak just because of one man. You're still a long way off, Ica. After this, you just focus on your career." Ica said encouraging herself.

The sound of footsteps was already crowded out there while Ica was still faithfully inside the room. A knock on the door led Ica out.

Chequek.

The door opened and Vania was standing in the doorway. He immediately hugged Ica's body because he was sure that Ica was currently very fragile.

"Ma, everything's gonna be fine." Ica stroked Vania's shoulder.

"Don't pretend to be strong, Ica. Mama knows how you are because Mama gave birth and took care of you. You are just like Mama when Mama was young, so Mama understands what it feels like to pretend to be strong and stoic like you.'' Vania shed tears, she did not expect that the journey of Ica's love was not as sweet as she thought.

Hugs unravel.

"Ma, Ica will try willingly and mengikhlaskan Rizi. In this world of men not just one, Ica does not want to fall and be cooped up in grief just because of one man." Ica strengthened the mother even though she herself was very broken.

The two of them came out of the room because Rizi's entourage and family had arrived. Ica takes a deep breath and then exhales slowly.

Elza was already seen waiting at the kabul ijab table, she looked at the Rizi family troupe and her family with guilt. Elza really wants to catch up with the biological mother because of the shame that can not be held back.

A few minutes later.

All have gathered at the table Ijab kabul, Mama Rizi strengthen Ica because she already considers Ica like her own child. In fact, Mama was very angry with Rizi.

LEGITIMATE!

The voice of the sacred answer sounded painful in Ica's ear, she repeatedly inhaled a deep breath of air and exhaled slowly. Ica must be patient, she must not cry. He took wisdom if not a match then what this man can, have been dating for years, engaged but it turns out the candidate belongs to someone else. Ica did not blame anyone because this was fate and she was just the cast, while the Almighty had arranged this scenario.

When they felt sad, one man walked into the party. His handsome face, his tall body sturdy and full of authority, able to make anyone fascinated. Alvin, he came to Ica's party alone. Yes, he thought Ica was married but everything was inversely proportional.

Alvin is shocked when he sees Elza wearing a wedding dress with a man beside her while Ica wears a regular dress.

"What the fuck? A crisp joke.'' Alvin muttered.

He walked towards Elza, Rizi, Ica and Vania. His presence made everyone shocked and confused.

"Alvin?" call Vania, immediately the look on her face changed because she saw Alvin, Ica's friend first.

Alvin smiled faintly then he stood in the middle of the family.

"Aunty how are you?" alvin asked in pleasantries, he did not know with the sad incident that befell Ica.

"Good aunt, son. When have you been in Indonesia?" Vania tried to forget the problem for a moment.

"It's been almost three weeks, aunt." replied Alvin while looking at Rizi and Elza alternately.

Vania understands what Alvin is thinking, she immediately introduces Rizi as Elza's husband.

"Vin, this is Rizi's husband Elza."

Alvin shook Rizi's hand which looked like his face was very flat and cold. He was not happy with the marriage.

"El, you said Ica was getting married. But why are you now?" Alvin looked at Ica and Elza alternately.

Ica threw away her face, she left that place because her mind was not good.

"Don't fuck around, Rizi. You forget that now you are Elza's husband, Ica's sister? Mama has been disappointed with you and do not make Mama embarrassed also disappointed with your behavior at this time." Mama pressed down each word a little whisper.

Rizi resigned, he clucked annoyed and then threw his face in the other direction.

Alvin was astonished by the current atmosphere, unlike the party in general. He shook his shoulders and shook Elza's hand.

"I don't know what's going on, but I'm happy for you both. Sorry, I have to see Ica." Alvin smiled after saying goodbye to catch up with Ica.

Rizi looks angry, she does not like the attitude of Alvin.

"He was Ica's best friend when he was in high school, they were very familiar and Ica was always happy to be by his side. Thank goodness he came at the right time, maybe Ica could forget a little about the problem" said Vania made Elza sad.

Rizi glanced at Elza from the tail of her eyes, she snorted and would make Elza's life in hell later.

In the back garden.

Alvin saw Ica sitting alone on the bench looking at the goose in the pond. He was pensive to the point of not being aware of Alvin's arrival.

Alvin was sitting next to Ica, he looked at Ica from the side who was just silent.

"Why are you just silent? Shouldn't this be the most beautiful thing in your life? Your sister is married and you're not happy about her marriage?" Alvin followed the direction of Ica's eyes.

Ica glanced at Alvin for a moment then she sighed.

"This is not the time to joke" Ica said briefly.

"I'm sorry, don't you want to share my story?''

Ica just shut up.

"Yes, fine if you want to make me die of curiosity." Alvin finally resigned because he did not want to force you Ica.

Ica stay quiet.

A few minutes later, there was no sound from the two and there was only the sound of the party guests. Ica still faithfully looked straight ahead to see the goose that had now separated.

"Ca, is your problem so big?" Alvin asked in a soft tone.

"Vin, I'm on my own. Please don't bother me first" Ica said with a plea.

Alvin nodded in understanding.

"Well if that's what you want, if you're ready to tell me everything then you can call or see me." Alvin smiled thinly, he stroked Ica's hair slowly and then he got off the bench.

There was no reaction from Ica which made Alvin even sadder. He felt that he was present at an inopportune moment where Ica was still in grief. So many questions in Alvin's head about the marriage that is happening now between Elza and Rizi.
