Chaos Wedding
A Substitute Bride
Satya had been standing at the wedding altar since half an hour ago. The handsome man kept trying to maintain his smile amid all the chaos that was happening.
When Satya finds out that her bride who is her lover since three years ago disappeared just like that on her second important day. Satya did not think that the woman he loved so much who promised to live a life of devotion in marriage with him was choosing to leave and leave.
Of course, everything will not be this upset if the lover breaks the relationship from far away, and instead decides unilaterally on their wedding day. While on the other hand, the important guests and almost the entire extended family were already sitting in the guest chair while waiting for the bride who might never come.
Satya knew, it was over today too. What else did he expect?
Until then the accompanying music began to sound, which indicates that the bride had arrived just as Satya's footsteps were just about to leave the wedding altar.
Did his girlfriend suddenly come? Is he getting married today with the woman he loves?
But that happiness did not last long. A few minutes later, the connecting door slowly opened. Satya and the guests immediately turned to the bride who looked very beautiful with her wedding dress accompanied by her father at the end of the door.
She's not Aluna.
The woman who seemed familiar to him then stepped towards where Satya was standing waiting for the bride. Satya was very sure she recognized the face behind the veil.
Once again the bride who came was not Aluna—her lover—but another woman.
While Bella continues to try to strengthen herself that her choice this time is not wrong, though she is aware that she herself has brought her to play into this enormous mess.
In addition, he also tried to hold back his nervousness desperately. With a wedding dress that does not fit the size of the body adds tightness inside her chest, shoes heels are worn quite high and uncomfortable. Bella wasn't even sure she'd make it to the altar with such high heels if only her father wasn't there to hold her.
When Bella and her father arrived at the altar, the woman felt her breathing become more and more congested. She never knew that a wedding could feel like a funeral for herself.
Slowly Bella's father handed her daughter's hand to Satya while smiling with gentleness towards her. Bella's hands were cold and trembling as Satya grabbed the plump hand into her grasp. The two eyes met, but there was nothing to say to each other. Satya just hurriedly shifted her eyes, and so did Bella.
When Bella's father came down from the altar, Satya asked questions about the curiosity that had been eating away at her body.
"Why are you here?" ask her cynically.
Bella looked up, before answering the question from the man in a flat tone.
"I just want to save you and your family from embarrassment. How could the owner of a large company have to cancel marriage just for the reason that the bride ran away. People will gossip about this, Satya."
Indeed, in Satya's dreams and future, it never seems to be the slightest bit of Bella's wife. It will never!
"But how is it possible? I never asked you to be my wife to avoid embarrassment, Bella!" hiss Satya with the tone of voice rose an octave.
"Husttt .. you will only be more inviting to strange gazes from the guests if you shout like that!" Bella sighed softly, before returning to continue her words, "Then, now the choice is yours. Take me in front of the priest and continue this wedding, or you can announce to the guests that the wedding is canceled. But you will only see the disappointed faces of your parents who are currently smiling happily, moreover you will only break my father's heart for dumping me like this."
Really, Bella did not know where she got the courage from until she said the long sentence. But let him drown himself even more, lest he see the disappointed faces of his parents.
Once again Satya was silent and seemed to digest the words of Bella who was quite reasonable. It was fortunate that there was a foolish woman who was preparing to remove him from the shame of not getting married, but still being married to an Arabella Sky made no sense.
But this is the choice of the woman herself, Satya did not insist. So, there was no harm in him continuing this marriage and being free from shame. Married business and Bella, he will take care of after this.
"Well, I hope you don't regret it after this, Bella!"
After saying that sentence, Satya then brought Bella in front of the priest to take the wedding vows.
Then there were many voices whispering in his ears.
"This wedding is crazy!"
Yeah, it's crazy enough to be accepted as a reality. Such a sacred marriage, decided by the bride and groom to perfect their love, must take place in such an unnatural way. Not to mention the many eyes that look at Bella with a dislike gaze.
Believe me, 80% of the female guests present there looked at Bella with a look of dislike. Alright, marrying a handsome and well-established man like Prasatya might be the dream of many women like them, but it becomes an exception for Bella. Because even though she was once one of the women who liked a Prasatya Brawijaya. Believe me, liking Satya and being her lover is a waste. He is too perfect for a woman like her.
Not that they feel insecure, but the facts speak more clearly to the reality. Bella understood that because she had once felt how painful it was to like people who were impossible to have.
I don't know, Bella just feels Satya is still the same as Satya who was in her class. The man was still too far away to reach and it was still impossible even with him that Bella had to take the oath to live on.
With a single breath, Satya and Bella take the vow of their lives.
"Until death do us part!" they say the two of them together for a while after taking the wedding vows, Bella and Satya just stare at each other.
They both swore they would love each other for life. Accompany him in happy times and in sad times. In good health, and in pain and that is forever. Until death do them both separate.
