Devina looks so charming while wearing her akad kebaya. The woman looked herself in front of the mirror. He himself never thought if it would be this fast to live his bachelor.well, even though their marriage was not that serious.
Alma found herself standing behind the door.
"WOW!. Seriously this is you, Vin?."
Alma developed her smile when she saw Devina change while wearing the kebaya.
"Kalo Alfin until still do not like, blind means him."
"Like it can't be imposed times, Al."
"He's the real visual creature, Vin. It seems like a pretentious and do not want, just imagine the same Rosi who is a standard face just he kicep, the same time you want to refuse?!."
"Rosi's your model of the time you want me?." Devina blotches are upset.
"God!. Her chest is so what is proud to try?."
"Yes the other one."
The laughter of the two broke when they came to their senses as if they could figure out each other's thoughts.

Alfin welcomed guests with Mr. Hamid who at that time chose to sit in a wheelchair because his legs could not be used to stand for too long.
There's Edo there. Lucky the man took the night shift to be able to watch the wedding of the problem culprit.
A few minutes before Ijab began, Edo greeted his cousin who also took part in the documentation session for Alfin's wedding.
"Bang!. So your team's got jobs here?."
"Gue was also just last year. Because the Toto guy who suddenly said he wanted to do a job in parangtritis." Kenzi said while checking the camera in his hand.
"No, here's more luck."
"But pretty well also on my feet a little malem."
Edo chuckled while patting Kenzi's arm.
"Gue ahead first, Alfin is on standby."
"Yoy!."

Devina walked slowly accompanied by her mother and also Alma who held her arms. While Ms. Fatimah herself is the same as Mr. Hamid who chose to sit in a wheelchair because of his health problems.
Occupying the white chair next to the groom, Devina looked so beautiful and adorable. He who is of standard down it just looks like a child and inevitably cause whispers among the guests who are present because they think if Alfin married a boy.
The atmosphere felt increasingly gripping for the groom. Alfin was quite aware of the game he made, but when faced directly with reality as it is now in fact he also could not muffle the gerogi that had always plagued him.
The heat, cold and sweat that kept hatching on his head was enough to prove how nervous the man who would soon give up his stature.
I am Alfin Prambudi ..............
The voice of Alfin reading a series of sentences asking for the blessing of his marriage to Devina to the invited guests and especially to their parents.
The sacred event went as it should. Handshaking Mr. Bandi who from the beginning really made his heart like he wanted to jump out now has turned warm with a thin smile embedded on the tip of his cheek.
Alfin enjoyed the procession of the signing performed by Devina on the sacred book of the Office of Religious Affairs.
"Look Fin, we're here. Devina's time is of concern!." Edo annoys the groom who is being smitten by the Queen's appearance today.
In contrast to what Alfin felt. Devina, the woman's hand shakes as she is about to give her hand because the figure she had been looking for was suddenly present without her ever expecting it before.

Throughout the event Devina did not show her happy face as at the beginning she entered the venue and it made Alma instantly realize there was something that was being hidden by the woman.
Also in the room after the event. Alfin who did not care much about the origin said that Devina was thinking about their first night to her sister.
"Ngaco you!."
"Well, what on?. I don't even know why?."
"Yes, you ask dong, Fin!. You are the lakin."
"Yee, your fault anyway!."
"Why the hell is he?." Alfie finally asked.
"Lu don't see what, he's been so quiet from now on!."
"Meding you ask me who asked sono!."
"Is there anyone he doesn't like right now at the party?." Alma said about
Alma's words make Alfin recall the photo of the man he had found.
Don't-don't!.
The man grabbed his phone lying on the nightstand to look for a picture of the photo he secretly captured.
Alfin looked at the face, then remembered where he had seen it.
"Why am I so curious?." His grunts while poking at the base of his nose.
"Kamprrrrt is boncel!." Just turn off the phone.
Soon the bathroom door opened and showed a fresh face of Devina who had just finished with the ritual.
The woman looked at her husband who looked relaxed on the mattress still with his shirt and pants.
Alfin glanced at the beautiful face of the wife who looked indifferent to him before he finally chose to open the incoming message which made him quite surprised.
Edo, that man answered her message.
📨"Well, that's not my cousin's graduation photo huh?. Dapet where are you?."
"There is!."
📨"How can you get her sacred photos!?."
"Gue was also his nema accidentally."
📨"So he's the one who photographed you, Fin."
Alfin could instantly draw the conclusion of where the woman's gloomy face came from. But there is one thing that makes Alfin curious, namely the relationship between the two.
Didn't Devina ever say that the woman herself never had a love affair with anyone?. So why does he keep an old photo belonging to a man, maybe he likes it?. Or maybe his love is unrequited?."
"Why am I being a gini!. Very curious to be made with boncel." Back the man grumbled.
But still his curiosity was more domineering until when the woman threw a white towel on his face and made him instantly aware of the excitement that had been enveloping him.
"Mandi gih's!. It stinks this room because of you." Devina's words made Alfin chuckle softly while displaying a sly smile on his lips.
"Gue's guy takes a bath."
"Snake."
"Gue wants to go to sleep."
"Go take a shower, Alfin!."
"It's the bath."
"Did, jijay is yaaw!." He said while patting the face serum.
"Vin."
"Emm?."
"Have you ever disliked someone?."
Devina was silent with her position. He stared at the reflection of Alfin who was also staring at him from the mirror.
"Why?." The woman's face changed immediately.
"No, I just want to know. But if you mind, don't answer." His speech was relaxed yet hopeful before it finally passed to clean itself up.
Devina chose silence while rubbing body lotion on her hands and feet. His heart seemed to be pierced by dozens of thorns as he recalled bitter memories he might never forget in his entire life.
