Getting Married for Lying
002 - The Beginning of the Lie

Happy reading..

Vaya latches herself in front of the mirror, she goes around in circles while trying to choose the appropriate clothes to wear at the reunion. No specific fashion theme makes Vaya a problem. He felt he did not have proper clothes, despite having dismantled the entire contents of his wardrobe.

Vaya has a mature brown skin that is not dull so it does not look dirty or dark that is too exotic. Often he wears a collared shirt when he goes to a casual event, or wears a regular shirt. He was not used to wearing dresses and things like that.

Vaya's phone was unceasingly ringing displaying his caller's name. Mima and Feybe aka Ibe. The two names alternate with Vaya.

"Yes, yes, I'll be there right away" Vaya said, hanging up the phone.

He felt his heart beat faster just thinking that he was going to meet Yoran. Age cannot be a measure of a person's maturity. Vaya realizes that she is too old to act like a new kid yesterday afternoon who is in love. He had buried all his dark times as soon as he entered the world of college, at that time he preferred to focus on learning, no longer being a male hunter. He can even complete S2 education quickly because it is so focused.

Fifteen years passed without a man chasing him. Not that his sexual orientation changed, he still liked men. But he refused to worship love. For years he was plagued with cliche questions when he came to his friends' wedding.

When married? 

Already have a girlfriend?

Vaya chose to avoid with the answer still not find the right fit or still want a career longer. His parents gave up when Vaya refused all matchmaking even when a man came to propose to her.

Is it because of Yoran?

Vaya again felt the thump even though the name Yoran only crossed Vaya's mind.

Will he faint when he meets Yoran? 

...*****...

One of the five-star hotels in the city center became the place of SMA reunion. The hotel is also in a shopping mall. No wonder so many visitors come especially on weekends.

Vaya hurriedly entered the lobby, he immediately stood in front of the elevator. Incidentally, she was standing next to a beautiful woman in a crossbreed, her hair bright brown, contrasting with her fair skin, wearing a pale pink dress with a knee-length model, equipped with shoes and bags with a lighted magenta color. She looks like a model in a stray fashion show, Vaya thought.

The elevator door opened, Vaya immediately entered the elevator which led her to the event venue. The woman stepped in with the phone still stuck to her ear. He sounded whining because apparently the lover went first so he had to follow.

Vaya tries to ignore the woman, but in the mirror-walled elevator of course their reflection is reflected. Vaya tries to be confident, although her skin is not as bright as the woman but she feels still more beautiful than the woman. Just because she was wearing famous items and thick makeup so that she looked more luxurious than Vaya.

Vaya rushes to the meeting room whose door is closed because apparently the event has already started. He tried to push the door, it felt heavy when pushed, Vaya was close, he immediately stood up straight and stepped in, ignoring someone who passed him just like that.

Vaya immediately looked for the figure of Mima and Ibe who immediately waved their hands as soon as they saw Vaya. All eyes were on Vaya as she arrived late, but Vaya realized that the view was not entirely on her. But on the figure that was walking not far behind him.

Vaya tries not to turn her head but is driven by curiosity she turns, seeing a crossbreed woman who is currently embracing a man who apparently picked her up at the entrance.

Vaya quickens his pace, he immediately heads to the table where Mima and Ibe are. 

Mima is a mother with two children. He was always stressed because he could not restore his body shape. Mima used to be very beautiful with long wavy curls, so many young men adored her. But Mima refused because she preferred a much older man. After graduating from school Mima decided to get married because she was proposed by a man who was eleven years older. Joey's son is ten years old and Ruby is five. Mima did not bring her children, she left them at the children's game center in the shopping center.

Feybe, commonly called Ibe, was a childless widow. Ibe was once a shy and quiet girl with a beautiful face, she was also a lover of love. He even willingly eloped with a man who he said loved him very much, but in the third year of marriage, Ibe decided to part with his true love. He eventually decided to become an untethered adventurer of love.

"For so long!" mima protest.

"Why is it too late?" Ibe asked as soon as Vaya sat in her chair.

"Sorry" said Vaya, grimacing.

"Who are they?" vaya asked while looking at the couple whose arrival so seized the public attention.

"Vay, it's Vier and his partner!" answer Ibe steady.

"Be, isn't Vier's info on America?" Vaya was shocked.

Ibe pressed his shoulders.

"The photograph is like that too" Ibe said.

"It looks like your info is invalid, Be," said Vaya.

"On social media the info is like that" Ibe replied in self-defense.

"You two look there" pointed out Mima mediating between her two friends.

Mima pointed to the table that was located quite far from their table.

Yoran was sitting with her classmates first. Yoran is an acronym of Yoseph Randvale, he prefers to be called Yoran rather than Ocep even Asep. Formerly Yoran is the chairman of OSIS, very adored, in addition to handsome face, he is also smart, and became the favorite of teachers. Many are very sad because Yoran chose not to have a social media account so he seemed to close himself. 

Suddenly, Vaya's eyes catch the figure of the Barbie woman and her partner, Vier. All of Vaya's cells still vividly remember what it was like to be publicly humiliated. Vaya used to accept rejection but only between him and his target. That day it feels like Vaya wants to bury herself alive when the statement of love that should be for Yoran actually interrupted Vier's presence.

Vier introduces his partner as a fiancee named Selena. Vier is not a young man who fifteen years ago always haired like a toilet brush, it seems he uses a lot of hair gel so that his hair stands sharp like a shocker. Vier has always been the target of free haircut operations from guru gondrong-haired students.

An idea flashed to make Vier feel what Vaya was feeling. For fifteen years he had to live in a nightmare that made him very depressed.

"Mima, Be, try to listen to my plan," Vaya immediately whispered to Mima and Ibe.

Ibe chuckled amusedly followed by Mima. They immediately left the event room that felt boring.

It looks like Vier and Selena are mobbed. Like celebrities are being hunted by journalists waiting for a press conference.

Vier looks still handsome despite his age of three heads. He was wearing a dark blue velvet suit. Yoran was shaking hands with Vier like someone she had never seen in a long time. Yoran used to look familiar with Vier at school. They are often seen gathering together. 

"Oh wow, who is this?" said Vier suddenly reprimanding Vaya who happened to be passing around them.

"Are you really the man hunter?" vier's Syndicate.

Vaya was silent as her eyes met Yoran. 

"Hey, don't tell me you're still alone!" ejek Vier's.

There was a mocking laughter from the audience. Vaya cursed in his heart, why did Vier not change as well?

Fifteen years is not enough to turn him into a full human being.

"Look, now that I've been successful, I have a perfect fiancee too, and we're getting married in the near future," vier said as he roared like a rooster flapping its wings before crowing. 

Mima immediately pulled the hand of Vaya and Ibe so that they would not be provoked by Vier's taunts.

We just wait for who will laugh at the back, inner Vaya while leaving the crowd of Vier.

As soon as Selena went to the toilet, Vaya, Ibe and Mima followed the woman. Mima made sure that no one entered the toilet except them. 

"Are you Selena, Vier's fusion? (Are you Selena, Vier's fiancee?)" ask Vaya, say hello to Selena.

Selena just silently stared at Vaya from head to toe.

"I was one of Vier's ex-girlfriends. (I'm one of Vier's ex-girlfriends)" Vaya introduces herself.

"That's right!" Ibe and Mima followed.

"Did you Vier's ex-girlfriend? (You're Vier's ex-girlfriend?)" ask Selena.

Vaya commented with a smile full of concern, he was still talking using English fluency is still at the level of potluck.

"That's how we got into a forbidden love while at school. I was pregnant with Vier's child, but Vier told me to have an abortion" Vaya said in the play.

Ibe and Mima were seen trying to hold back the laughter.

"That's impossible!" sergeant Selena.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Vier the truth!" challenge Vaya with confidence. 

"Don't you hear yourself how Vier mocked me?" ask Vaya again.

Selena squinted her eyes, she pushed Vaya until Vaya almost fell, Ibe propping Vaya up.

"I can't believe it!" screech Selena while leaving the toilet.

"I can't believe you're a real showman, Vay!" Ibe then laughed out loud.

"really awesome! The woman looks like a transvestite being chased by Satpol PP!" added Mima.

"Where did you learn to perform like that?" Ibe asked half mockingly.

"Maybe I'm fit to audition for religious soap opera stars" Vaya said, chuckling.

"Is it okay to prank Vier's fiancee?" mima asked, beginning to doubt.

"Vier's sense of female humor is really bad until he believes it" said Vaya lightly.
