A few weeks later ....
Mentari has not fully believed that the beautiful face in a white dress that looks on the mirror reflection is really her.
Yes, today is her wedding reception with Jeff.
It should have been a happy day, but somehow there was sadness hidden in his gaze. If I'm honest, actually he felt he didn't have any feelings for Jeff. But the cold and stiff man came as a surprise and offered happiness. And today, he has risked his life in the hands of a Jeff Abraham.
“Wah, Beautiful Mentari, deh!” said Giany who had accompanied him since.
“Still, Brother Giany.”
“Smiling dong! From earlier kok moody?” The woman can see the sadness that has been trying to be covered by Mentari with silence.
“Iya, Mbak Giany right,” said the woman who was polishing the face of Mentari. “Mbak Mentari is lucky. Mas Jeff was already handsome, well, a lot of money, dear again the same Mbak Mentari. If I were Mentari Ma'am, I would be excited to be able to have a husband like Jeff.”
The two women chuckled, making Mentari pull a smile at the corner of her lips. His heart also confirmed their words. Since he was with Azka first, Jeff is indeed a good man in his view.
There are not many men like jeff, who are not good at indulging in promises and love, but show by deeds.
“Mbak, done.” The fairy looked at Mentari's face to make sure again that her makeup looked perfect.
“Thank you, Ma'am.”
“Sama-sama. Then I go ahead first, yes.”
The woman immediately moved out of the dressing room. Leaving Mentari and Giany both in the room.
“Kak Giany, can I ask you something?”
“Bby.”
“But maybe my question is a bit personal. Does Brother Giany not mind?”
For a while Mentari was silent as if looking for the right word so that the question did not offend the woman.
He took a deep breath. “What Kak Giany married Doctor Allan for mutual love?”
Getting such a question, the veiled beautiful woman immediately looked at Mentari. Smiling, he shook his head in response.
“Actually no.”
Mentari's forehead wrinkled at Giany's words. Question marks began to fill his mind. How could the couple who in his eyes was so perfect marry without love.
“But Kak Giany and Doctor Allan are very happy. If you don't love each other, how can you be happy?”
“Love will grow if you want to learn to open your heart. If you close yourself, how can you accept something?”
An answer that made Mentari reflect for a while. Think he's trying to open his heart to Jeff? But, in fact, not. Because the shadows of the past were still lingering in his heart.
“But how can we accept someone who was never in our hearts?”
“Mentari ... getting married is a lifelong learning space. Learn to accept strangers with different thoughts to enter into our lives. Accept the shortcomings and cover them with advantages. Remind each other that one does wrong and lowers the ego so that the two different characters can be in sync.”
“What's with so love can grow?”
“There should be no more doubt in your heart to be happy. Love or not .. today, after Jeff has said the wedding vows in your name, it means you are already bound to be born with him.”
Mentari.
“Months ... There is no longer any distance between you and him. So dive into her heart as deeply as possible, so you can understand.”
