Discernment
Ch 15's. Graduations

Aya and Darren's business trip out of town went smoothly. I learned a lot from Darren. Although the man seemed cold, but at least he still behaved like a human who has a heart. Aya considers Darren's cold attitude probably innate from birth.

Despite their status of prospective husband and wife, but still both behave like other people, unless they are in front of their parents. Even after the unexpected kiss that time, between Darren and Aya had forgotten about the incident.

Time is rolling so fast. Without feeling Aya's graduation day is in sight. In less than a week he will officially get his bachelor's degree. And not long after, one week from her graduation day, Aya will have her wedding with Darren.

It should be the graduation day that makes Aya very happy. His struggle in pursuing Education for approximately four years was over with the bachelor degree he received. But unfortunately Aya did not feel the happiness because on that day she will marry a man who is not her lover.

Indeed Aya and Darren do not agree with the marriage, they also agreed to divorce later. But it still makes Aya's heart upset because it feels betrayed Gandhi's love.

Aya and Gandhi's relationship has also improved after misunderstanding at that time.Mandhi will even take the time to come at Aya graduation later.Aya explained very happy, and also sad.

Aya remained firm on her stance. He would not tell Gandhi about his marriage to Darren later, so as not to upset his lover.

**

That day has arrived. Aya is already in her campus to follow the series of graduation processions. So is Lissa, Aya's best friend.

“Wah, who finished graduation directly married!” guru Lissa who was currently sitting beside Aya.

“What the hell is Lis? You also know for yourself if I do not intend to undergo this marriage.we will later divorce. Darren himself also seems to have not been able to move on from his late wife.” Aya said sigh.

Lissa just patted her best friend's shoulder gently to be patient.

“Then what about Gandhi who you said he would come later, Ay? Didn't both of your parents attend?”

“Let's rest easy if it's that problem.I've asked Gandhi not to meet my parents. I also ask you to keep my wedding a secret from Gandhi huh, Liss?” pinta Aya is serious.

“Ok. You take it easy.” replied Lissa with a meaningful smile.

Event after event went well. Aya is one of hundreds of students who today officially earn a college degree. He came out of the building where the graduation ceremony was held and was immediately welcomed by his parents and also his sister who was very proud and also happy.

“Congratulations yes, Darling!” Mama Devina hugged Aya tightly. Then take turns with Papa Mirza who is no less happy with the title that has been achieved by his daughter. Not to forget Ansel, Aya's sister was also happy with her brother's graduation in college.

Devina said that Darren and his father were also present. It's just they came late. Aya doesn't care much about it. Because right now the focus is on looking for someone very special in his life. It's Gandhi.

The atmosphere is still very crowded with other graduates who are happy with their families. Then Aya's gaze was fixed on a man she had been waiting for while standing a little away from her. Aya asks for a little permission from her parents and approaches Gandhi who has brought a doll for Aya.

Mirza and his wife were also seen chatting with one of Mirza's business partners who happened to meet and his son also graduated. It's just different majors with Aya.

Aya moved her feet towards Gandhi with a big smile. The man spread out his hand by holding the puppet that was to be given to Aya.

“Honey! Congratulations yes!” gandhi said after embracing the body of his lover.

Darren's gaze was very flat on Aya. While Aya who felt bad, immediately took off her embrace from Gandhi.

“Why, Dear?” ask Gandhi in wonder.

“Ehm, it's okay. I'm so glad you could be here, but sorry, I can't invite you to join my family.”

Shortly thereafter Darren walks past Aya with a bouquet of flowers. Aya silently stared at Darren's steps that passed him just like that. Darren turned to approach his parents.

“Honey, why are you silent?” gandhi asked feeling strange about his lover's attitude.

“Nothing. You're still here a long time, will we meet again and celebrate my happy day, huh? For now, I'm going to hang out with my parents first. Sorry!”

Gandhi nodded in understanding. It turns out Aya's strange attitude because it is uncomfortable and afraid if both parents see her whereabouts here. eventually he let Aya re-assemble with her parents. Gandhi was eager to join Aya's parents. I don't know why Aya also often forbid it.

Gandhi once thought about the reason why Aya's parents did not approve of his relationship. Although he himself had never met directly with Aya's parents. Or better Gandhi asked directly to his omnya. Who knows there is a past relationship between his parents and Aya's parents until the relationship is hindered by blessing.

**

Now Aya has reunited with her parents. There was Darren there too. The man gave Aya a bouquet of flowers while congratulating her on her graduation.

Aya receives a bouquet of flowers given by Darren with fear, for fear that Gandhi will still be here and see her.

“She's gone. So just accept.” whispered Darren slowly as if understanding what was on Aya's mind.

Aya immediately received the bouquet of flowers so as not to make both parents suspicious. Mirza and Devina are very happy to see the closeness of Darren and Aya. It means that there is a growing love between the two.

After that they immediately left the place and headed to the restaurant where Papa Vano was already waiting there, because the man was busy outside. So choose to wait at the restaurant while giving a surprise party for his future daughter-in-law.

Now Aya and her family have come out of the building where Aya graduated. Of course with Darren too, and unbeknownst to Aya, it turns out Gandhi saw Aya was getting into a car with a man he had never known before.

“Maybe a distant brother Aya.” Gumam Gandhi threw away bad thoughts about Aya.
