A few minutes later, the wedding hall corridor had seen Rihanna and Nayeon walking in tandem to the wedding hall, while not far behind the two of them there was the bride and the father who hooked hands, respectively, and once in a while the other father's arm gently rubbed his daughter's hand that still looked nervous.
As soon as the two doors were opened simultaneously by the 2 staff who were guarding in front of the hall, all eyes were immediately fixed on the figure of the bride who was standing in the doorway together with the father for a while, before finally they both set foot back into the wedding hall that was crowded with invited guests.
Ansell who had already been in his position together with a priest who would do a blessing to both of them. Both eyes were stunned to see Ahreum looking different at this time with a white wedding dress and long curls left unravelled, adding to the elegance that was in Ahreum.
Until Ansell unconsciously smiled her wide smile while waiting for his future wife to walk towards him.

Flashback 1 day earlier.
At Haneul Jakarta Hospital, just as Ahreum was running small after running away from her future husband. He accidentally hit someone again, this time he seems to hit a doctor, because judging from his appearance who appears to wear a white coat like a doctor in general.
“maaf.. sorry I accidentally.” Said Ahreum reflex who immediately bent his body in front of the man.
“Ahreum, why are you here?” ask the man who is none other than Elios, the man he just met a few days ago.
“ahh, doctor Elios.” Ahreum shocked as he straightened up and looked at the face of the man who was much taller than him.
“why are you here, and also why are you running around like that, is it possible.” said Elios who recalled the situation when they first met.
“no.. no. hehe, this time I am not being followed by anyone, I just run away from.” Ahreum stopped his sentence for a moment as if he was considering the continuation of the sentence.
“from whom?” ask the curious Elios.
“no, hehe, ah yes I have to go now, my class starts in 1 hour.” Ahreum tried to end his brief encounter with Elios.
“so yes,
ohh yes Ahreum, are you free tomorrow?” elios said when Ahreum began to move 1 foot, the girl turned back to respond to Elios's impromptu question.
“I plan to invite you to go to my niece's wedding together with Xena, it seems Xena will also be very happy if she can meet you.” Elios continued as soon as Ahreum turned his body and looked back at him.
“Xena?” reset Ahreum.
“ahh yes, Xena my daughter, amm, do you mind? Is it too soon to get you together with Xena, hehe, I'm sorry. I just feel like Xena would be happy if I also invite you along.” Clearly Elios was complete with his warm smile.
“doctor Elios, are you trying to get close to me?” ahreum asked who was trying to clarify the situation between the two of them.
Instead of directly answering Elios was embarrassed and directed his gaze in any direction for a moment, before finally he tried to dare to reveal his entire heart to the little girl who was in front of him.
“what's too obvious looks huh? Hehe sorry yes, if it is too soon for you, it is fine, we can be friends and get to know each other.”
“amm, we'd better talk on the bench in the front garden of the hospital, doctor.” Ahreum's response was complete with a faint smile and he walked first to lead Elios to where he wanted to be.
Elios happily followed him from behind complete with a thin smile carving that still adorns his handsome face.
On the park bench.
Once finding a suitable location to chat, Ahreum also sat his butt on the bench followed by Elios who sat right next to him.
“usia is just a number, and also we do not need a special reason to like someone right? Since that feeling just happened, I will not force you to accept my feelings for now, moreover I realize, I am a widower also have a daughter, you may.”.
“not so. I. I am getting married, and tomorrow is my wedding day.” Clearly Ahreum before Elios finished his sentence, because he did not want to misunderstand the reason for his rejection was not due to the status of Elios who had been married and had a daughter, he said, but because she will be someone else's wife.
“apa?” elios' response, widening his eyes, was completely shocked to hear the girl's confession beside him, a situation he had never been in.
“iya, tomorrow I will marry the man who has been betrothed by my parents. Therefore, I think this is our last meeting, because if we still keep in touch I think my heart can falter.
And also thank you for dinner a few days ago, I should treat the doctor, but instead, hehee, amm Ahreum got up from his seat.
“you won't invite me to your wedding?” elios again stopped his steps.
“no, if the doctor comes I'm not sure I can have my wedding.” Ahreum turned back and smiled at her sweet smile and left, leaving Elios, who was still sitting with a blank look on the garden bench.
Feeling like lightning in a hole, his entire body suddenly froze, now he could only watch the little girl go away from him, step by step until he finally disappeared from his sight.
As Ahreum disappeared from Elios's sight, the tears finally dripped down Elios' two smooth cheeks, without a sound of sobbing the poor man could only express the pain of his two pitiful eyes.

Meanwhile, Ahreum was walking towards a bus stop not far from the Haneul hospital. It seemed that he also felt a sudden pain that pierced his heart, making his face appear to grimace in pain and his hands tried to clench to withstand the pain that was spreading to all parts of his body.
Can no longer hold it finally cried Ahreum broke when he was sitting on the bench stop, by leaning his head on the pole stop he continued to cry while covering his mouth to muffle his crying voice so as not to be too loud to sound.
Luckily there was only one mother and her little daughter sitting next to Ahreum, so not many saw the poignant scene that Ahreum showed at that time.
Not wanting to interfere in other people's personal problems, the mother also only gave the tissue she took from her bag, followed by the princess who helped give a loly pop candy that was only grasped earlier complete with a bright smile.
With a sober smile Ahreum also received a gift from the mother and child who had sincerely paid attention to him, even though he was just a stranger they had just met.

Back to the wedding hall.
As soon as the reading of the appointment was over and the event was just a mere entertainment session left, suddenly Ansell's father's phone vibrated in his pants pocket, make himself have to pull over to the other side that is not too noisy to receive the call.
“hallo.” Greet Andrew on the phone.
“why indeed, it is not usually Nana like that.” Andrew's response after hearing an explanation from the caller who told him that he would be very late.
“ya already, come here soon, if not present at the pronunciation of the appointment, at least you should join the family photo session later.” Andrew said in a stern tone.
“oke, om wait.” Andrew turned off his phone and went back inside.
