The ballroom area in a hotel is so boisterous. Every corner is full of makeup. So luxurious and crowded.
Everyone gathered, lined up in their seats. There are those who stand with their eyes focused on the main door that will soon open.
Do not forget a flat object they hold that is directed towards the door, as if ready to photograph the queen of the party today. Who else if not Karin.
Rio, still standing in front of the pelaminan, with his body firmly facing the door, was ready to welcome the wife who had just been legitimate a few minutes ago.
Dinda and Willy did not forget to be close to Rio, occasionally Willy teased his best friend who was very nervous.
Long standing made them sore, a second the big door was wide open. Everyone was stunned and stunned at how beautiful the bride was.
Rio, was stunned to the point of not blinking to see the woman in front of him in the blooming white dress that he was wearing. Do not forget the simple makeup of the face turns out to be as beautiful as an angel.
Nervously Karin stepped into the ballroom. Everyone's eyes embarrassed him. With full confidence his steps were getting faster and faster towards Rio.
The end of the dress continued to sweep every floor Karin passed, because it was so long. Following the rhythm of the steps Karin created.
The atmosphere was again crowded with applause, after a man who served as MC welcomed Karin's presence in the room.
Karin simply smiled knots while grasping a bouquet of flowers in her hand.
After getting closer, Rio reached out his hand to bring Karin over to the top of the guarantee. They all look happy, the guests were invited to ride the pelaminan to congratulate.
*****
Rey, still in the hospital, is waiting for Velove, who is being treated by a doctor. And the doctor suggested that Velove be treated in a few days.
Angel sat quietly in her room, contemplating who she was thinking. A second his body awoke walking closer to a closet and opened it.
A medium-sized suitcase he pulled on the bed. One by one the clothes in the closet he moved into the suitcase until the closet was empty without a single object.
Is Angel going to leave?
Yes, after a long time of reflection that's the decision Angel took. Choose to leave that house.
A cell phone vibrates, and it lights up. Show me a contact with my dear name on that flat screen. Instead of being answered Angel turned off the phone, then put it in a bag and left.
Either this decision is wrong or right. And I don't know what Angel will do after this.
Rattling rainwater soaked the black asphalt. The dry lands became muddy filled with murky puddles. Tree trunks and leaves are also watered to accommodate rainwater that falls from it.
A dirty footprints, continue to walk down the wet road.No shelter or shelter Angel continues to step under the swift rain.
Elsewhere, Dinda, Willy, and Syena were humming, joking, along the road they were walking. Willy remained focused on controlling his four-wheelers as rainfall grew higher and roads became less visible.
Dinda kept joking around with her daughter, occasionally her beautiful eyes looked out the window. At the same time Dinda saw Angel walking across the street, who was guiding the suitcase in a wet body.
"Like Angel?" his mind keeps watching Angel from inside his car.
"Well, it's Angel, but she's raining" she thought, stopping Willy from driving.
"Stop!"
When Willy stepped on the brakes, their car stopped.
"What's the matter Ma?" syena asked who felt her car suddenly stop. Willy asked the same thing.
"Dear, what's wrong? Why ask me to stop?"
"I saw Angel."
"Angel?"
"Rey's second wife." Only then did Willy remember who Angel was, the woman who had come to his house a few days ago.
"Wait here Mas, I'll meet him he's rained."
"Wait baby for what are you down? Outside of the heavy rain. We go together, where do you see it?"
"Here?" point Dinda at the back of the car and Angel is still there.
Willy immediately turned around the road before. Dinda was anxious and thought that Angel was having a fight with Rey, let alone looking at a suitcase that Angel was guiding.
"Mama? Papa's? Where are we going?"
"But baby, there is a friend of Mama who is rained," explained Dinda.
A second Willy stopped his car, Angel glanced to his right side where Dinda's car stopped.
For a moment Angel hoped it was Rey's car, but it was only her hope and would not be reality.
"Mama's good" said Syena who did recognize Angel.
The glass of Dinda's car lowers, so that Angel sees it clearly.
"Dinda," murmured Angel.
"Angel why rain? Come on in," said Dinda a little shouting. Due to the high rainfall makes the sound inaudible.
Willy, get off the car with the umbrella. Walk around Angel, then bring the suitcase into the trunk and ask Angel to enter.
Angel could not resist either, as her body was already very cold. Eventually they got back in the car and left.
*****
"It's his tea." Dinda said while giving a cup of warm tea to Angel, who has now changed clothes.
"Thank you" said Angel and sipped his tea.
"Are you in trouble? Where's Rey why didn't you pick you up?"
Angel paused for a moment and said, "I'm the one who left without telling her."
"You guys got into a fight?"
"No, Rey is accompanying Velove in the hospital. There is a problem between us" he said.
Angel also recounted her domestic problems, and included bipolar illness that Velove suffered. Dinda was quite surprised by the bad news it turned out that time Rey, drove Velove to see her psychologist.
"Then why did you leave?"
"I want to win myself" Angel said. But not with his heart weighing something.
"I have to leave immediately, thank you for bringing me here."
"But Angel, it's still raining outside, you stay the night."
"I don't feel good to stay here. I'm afraid to bother you and your husband. Anyway my apartment's close to here."
"Let Willy take you?"
"No need Dinda I don't want to bother. I'll go first."
Dinda could not resist or forbid, letting Angel leave her home.
*****
The next morning, Angel came to the hospital where Velove was being treated at this time. Doubtfully Angel stepped through the hallway after hallway towards the room Velove was in.
But Angel chose to stop, before arriving at the room. It looks like Angel changed her mind and will meet Rey, somewhere else.
This is where Angel is now. Sitting in the middle of a crowded garden filled with flowers and tall trees that protect it from the sun.
"Angel." Feeling that his name was calling Angel was immediately standing facing Rey, who was still perched behind him.
Angel's smile flashed and hugged Rey. They both sat there.
"How's Velove doing?"
"It's been better, but sorry Angel looks like you have to be more patient because I can't tell you the truth if you're my wife."
Angel just looked down, with a flat expression. One breath Angel exhaled then said,
"Rey, my coming here wasn't for that. But there's something I want to say."
Angel took an envelope from her bag, which she gave to Rey.
Rey, who received a little confused, opened the envelope, which turned out to be a letter. It was not the letter that made his eyeballs perfectly round.
"I've decided what's best for all of us."
"I told you I wouldn't divorce you." Rey, a little angry that Angel asked her for a divorce.
"When is Rey? Until Velove is healed? But when? I felt guilty when I saw Velove yesterday. Love should not be forced, and in love there is always sacrifice. I gave up on my selfishness all this time. And it's my decision I'm backing down, split up maybe the best way."
"Angel! If you want me to say our marital status, we say it now."
Rey really doesn't accept it.
"Rey, can't you choose between me and Velove? If so and you choose me then what about your son? Would you leave Bian?"
Rey was stunned, her mind was currently raging.
"Velove and Bian are more entitled to you. Bian is a kid you should pay attention to. And Velove, his mental health should be at stake. Are you the heart? Seeing Velove go crazy, and Bian being neglected. Don't be selfish Rey, why would I choose to split up and back off because I thought that I wasn't burdening you. I don't have any children from you anyway. I hope you understand Rey."
Angel leaves Rey, who remains silent.
*****
Rey returned to Velove's room, looking at Bian who was laughing in Velove's lap, who was so happy. It seems Angel's decision is right, Velove and Bian are Rey's family, who need her more.
Rey, don't want her to lose another child. It was enough that he failed to become a father to Syena. Now Rey has to take responsibility for Bian, won't leave him, and must be a good father.
"Dian!" call Rey, then take Bian.
As soon as the family was peaceful, it was Bian who laughed, the smiling Velove and the happy Rita. Looking at his daughter's life now.
A second Rey glanced at Rita, then handed her a letter.
Rita opened the letter, not believing what she was reading. Rey convinces her that she and Angel are over. His life is now only for Bian and Velove.
"Thank God" Rita felt grateful.
*****
"Mama?" call Syena to Dinda who is lying on the couch.
"What dear?" sahut Dinda who embraced Syena.
"Mama's belly is big. When's the baby dede out Ma?"
"When? I have to wait another 3 months, baby."
"Yes, long dong. I really want to see Ma."
"Would you like to see?"
"Heem." Syena nodded.
"Mas, are you ready yet?" dinda shouted, to Willy who was still in the room. Shortly after, Willy came down.
"Here you go, let's go now" Willy asked.
"Where's Papa's mom going?"
Dinda smiled and said, "Say I want to see the baby, let's go."
"Surely Ma can I see?" Dinda nodded with a smile.
They all went together to the hospital. Syena and Willy were excited to see the baby on the screen.
As promised, Willy took Dinda to the obstetrician, to do the Ultrasound. In addition to wanting to see the picture of the baby, hearing his heartbeat, they were very curious about the sex of his second child.
"His heart rate is very hard, it means that the baby is healthy" said the doctor.
"Really Doctor? That's our baby?" ask Willy who's looking at the monitor screen.
"Looks like the baby's happy to see his father and brother."
"My sister's a boy or a Doc's girl?" ask Syena who's in Willy's arms.
"Just a minute Doctor check first, hopefully it looks yes." The doctor also rotated an ultrasound device on the surface of Dinda's stomach. The doctor smiled too.
"Mr Dinda what do you want to tell me now? Not a surprise anymore?"
Dinda thought for a moment, then looked at Willy and Syena alternately. Feeling sorry for those who are so curious about the sex of the baby.
"Yes Doc, I'm curious too. Just tell me."
"Alright, congratulations on this USG recording of Mom and Dad's son, male gender."
"Male!"
"Assyik my brother's boy, must be handsome rich Papa," Syena said with anxiety. Make them all laugh.
*****
Dinda and Willy continued to stare at the picture of the USG given by the Doctor. The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Hopefully the baby boy is always healthy, Mas, can't wait to welcome his presence to the world."
"Now baby boy will be with us all."
Dinda nodded, then leaned on her husband's shoulder. A kiss of Willy resting on his forehead, not forgetting his hand hugging Dinda.
The two gazes now looked straight ahead, smiling broadly at Syena who was playing bubble balloons in the middle of the park.
