Fake Wedding Pledge
CHAPTER 34 Burying Hope

On the other hand, Dion was on his way to Helmi's wedding. After an hour, she arrived at the Sport Centre, which is also an indoor-outdoor Wedding Venue service provider, where Helmi used the building as her wedding reception venue.

Dion continued walking and entered among the invited guests, who looked compact wearing a broken white dress code. Just like the other guests, Dion was present wearing a bone-white dress that clashed elegantly on his handsome body. Then, Dion approached the two brides namely Helmi, and also his wife named Clarissa.

Helmi could immediately recognize Dion at that time. "Hey, how are you, Old Friend," greeted Helmi when Dion gave a hug as his congratulations to Helmi.

"As you can see, Hel. I'm doing fine. Oh yeah, Fathan sent you his apology, because he's not here tonight. He also congratulated you both on the marriage" Dion said, sharing his eyes with Helmi and Clarissa.

"Ahh, no problem. But why can't he come? How's things? Is Fathan okay?" said Helmi flocked Dion with a series of questions. Meanwhile, Clarissa only listened with a beautiful smile on her lipstick-coated lips.

"His wife cannot be left behind. He's fine, Hel. No need to worry," Dion replied.

"Wife? When did he get married? With who? Why not invite me?" Helmi asked again.

"God! I forgot," Dion grumbled inwardly. He subconsciously said something that was still kept secret.

"Forget over! I just mispronounced. Speaking of which, congratulations once again to both of you," Dion said, switching the conversation.

"Thank you, Dion. Please, enjoy the banquet that is available." Helmi smiled, and so did Clarissa.

Dion mingled with other invited guests while tasting various party dishes available. After about two hours of being there, Dion began to feel bored. Finally, he decided to say goodbye to Helmi and Clarissa.

The night is getting dark. On the way home from the party, Dion pulled over his car on a quiet street. He was looking at a picture of a smiling woman wearing a Chili Sauce Resto work uniform and a name tag bearing the woman's name on the upper left side of her chest.

"Once again I must give up. I must be willing to bury my dreams to be with you, for the sake of my best friend. The most precious friend of my life." Dion spoke to the photo. And you know who the woman in the photo is? Yes, he is Azkira. Apparently, during this time when Azkira was still working at the Chilean Sauce Resto, Dion secretly often noticed Azkira. I don't know what allure Azkira has, but it can make Dion fall for him. Although, his fate is now similar to Revan who must feel lost, before having Azkira.

"You who are always beautiful with simplicity and you who exude charm and are always comfortable being yourself, make me tether my heart to you. Unfortunately, when I was just about to ventured to express my feelings for you, I, fate is just another word and seems to want to greet me with a wound and heartbreak that I must experience before our relationship can be established."

Dion lamented the wounds he had hidden behind his stern, seemingly fine demeanor. It's hard to believe why Dion and Revan fell in love with the same woman, but that's the truth. And more unfairly, it was Fathan who got the woman they loved. Yes, Fathan who incidentally had no love for Azkira before. Sometimes it's that cruel. Sow wounds on the hopeful heart, but instead cultivate love in a heart that refuses. The fate of life is that mysterious.

"Alright, Dion. You better go home, then sleep. Throw away your love for Azkira" said Dion speaking to himself.

"Why am I still curious? Who is the boy next to me in the picture?" muttered Azkira while enjoying a meal of bread and chocolate jam, as a breakfast menu.

That morning, Fathan was in the room to change clothes after taking a shower. Azkira had breakfast first, because he felt very hungry. Of course he had asked Fathan for permission and had taken a bath before.

"Hey, Honey. How, is your breakfast enough?" asked Fathan who was done with his clothes changed.

"Lumayan, but actually I prefer fried rice. Eating bread for breakfast is not a habit for people like me" Azkira replied as she continued to chew the bread in her mouth.

"Then just order through the food delivery service application," proposed Fathan while tinkering with his phone to order food through the inter-messaging service application.

"Well, why is that, honey?"

"Later on, I'd rather cook it myself. Emm .. I'll do it when we get home." Azkira tried to convince Fathan.

"Well, if that's what you want .. what can I do?" fathan pasrah's reply.

Azkira concluded a smile, then applied chocolate jam on a piece of bread and gave it to Fathan. At the table they had breakfast together. A very sweet moment, even sweeter than even chocolate jam.

In a different place, at Sinta's house. Revan came to visit. But this time, the visit was different. Revan went to Azkira's grandmother's house to say goodbye.

"No Revan!" sapa Sinta welcomed from the front door.

Revan raised a smile on his lips, but the look in his eyes emitted a deep sadness. Yes, anyone will be able to feel the sadness if they see it directly. And so is Sinta.

"Grandma, Revan is leaving" she said with trembling lips. He held back his cries with all his might so as not to break.

"Well, where are you saying, son? Where are you going? Why should I go?" Sinta nodded with a question.

"To somewhere, Grandma. Revan wants to stay, but it looks like circumstances are asking Revan to leave."

"What's the matter, son? Grandma still doesn't understand what you mean."

Revan just looked down not answering. Then, he gave a hug as a farewell to Sinta. "Grandma take care of health, yes. Say hello to Azki if Revan comes here later. Tell him to keep his diet. Now, Revan's job to look after Azkira is done, Grandma."

Suddenly, Sinta's tears just escaped. "Revan my granddaughter, Grandma wants to keep you here, son. But, if you have decided to leave, Grandma can only wish you the best. Although, you didn't say and Grandma didn't know your real reason."

"Thank you, Grandma. Grandma take it easy. Revan's mom and dad are here. Don't hesitate to come to them if Grandma needs anything."

Sinta let go of Revan's embrace, then she stared fixedly at the sad-faced man. "Take care of yourself wherever you are. Remember to come back here when you need a home to go home to" Sinta told him.

Revan nodded. "Please give this to Azki, Grandma. Revan didn't get to see him." The man left a gift box that he had no idea what it was.

"Let's Grandma tell Azki," said Sinta while receiving the gift box.

Then Revan went from there. It seems obvious that the excitement was in Revan at that time. But anyway, he still left and somehow went where. He's not ready to say it yet.
