Marrying a Sister-in-law Candidate
Gisele and Pieter
"Gisele?"
"Pieter?"
"What are you doing here!" tanya Afika half whispered.
"Are you really Gisele?" ask Dhimas.
"Yes, I'm Gisele. What are you doing in here Pieter? Are you a friend of my brother's?" ask Afika.
"What?! A..Afina is your sister??" tanya Dhimas.
Cring..Cring...
The sound of Afika's phone rang, turns out it was Devan.
Afika immediately walked out of the room.
"Hello my sunshine... How are you? Look, this is Virtual you honey!!" devan said while showing the bolsters with photos and his name as a substitute for Afika celebrating their graduation in New York.
"That's so cute.. Are you enjoying the party darl?" ask Afika.
"Actually not because you're not here with me." said Devan put on a sad face.
"You're a bad wild dude! I know you must be happy there are a lot of sexy girls, right, huh!" Afika.
"hahaha.which is definitely not as sexy as you love. I will be back tomorrow to Jakarta. Wait for me!" devan said.
"Really's? I'm happy to hear that!! Alright later when you get to the airport you can call me, I'll pick you up later." Afika replied happily.
"Ok honey's.. I want to join my friends.. Stay healthy baby, I miss you so badly muachh!" devan said.
"All right then.. See you and enjoy the party.. I Love you!" said Afika.
"I love you too!" answer Devan.
After hanging up the phone from Devan, Afika immediately went back into Afina's room. There stood a handsome handsome man who looked to be waiting for him.
Yes it is Dhimas, or Pieter Van Damme.. It was the name her Dutch grandmother gave her.
"Giseles... Can we talk outside?" ask Dhimas.
"Ah, yes sure.." replied Afika.
Dhimas invites Afika to the roof top so that they can both breathe fresh air.
"Pieter, what happened?" ask Afika.
"Are you the sister of Afina?" ask Dhimas.
"Aaahh, Pieter. Afina is my sister, and my name is actually Afika. Gisele was just a nickname when I was in New York." explains Afika.
"What is your relationship with my sister then?" continued Afika.
"I am her future husband." replied Dhimas trying as calm as the wind.
"Aafs..Wha what?? No way, my brother's future husband is Dhimas, Adhimas Ardhiga. Not you Pieter!" snapped Afika.
"My name is Adhimas Ardhiga. Pieter Van Damme is also my name. Because in Javanese order, the son follows his father's path then my last name is Ardhiga. However, because grandma had a hard time saying my name so she gave me a name that is Pieter Van Damme." explained Dhimas.
"What do you mean?" ask Dhimas.
"Yes! Since he's going to follow you to Amsterdam then he had this fateful accident!" shout Afika.
"You know why he wanted to follow me there?" ask Dhimas.
"Why?!" Afika challenges Dhimas.
"Because he already knew about Gisele!" Dhimas.
Afika was aghast, she was unmoved speechless.
Dhimas approached Afika and he wanted to hold Afika's cheek but it did not happen because Dhimas was hesitating. Then continue his words.
"You know, how fragile I am without you Gisele." said Dhimas lirih.
"Pieter, i..." Afika hung her words.
"If I had known you were the son of Lord Chandra Hadiwijaya, I would not have accepted my betrothal to your brother!" shouts Dhimas.
"Why don't you be honest with me, Gisele, I mean Afika... If only you had met me without covering your identity, it would not have been like this.."
"I'm sorry Dhimas, I just want to get someone who really sincerely loves me not because of my parents background." said Afika lirih.
"You didn't tell me who you were betrothed to either. Yes, you must be interested in the beauty of my sister, then you can easily accept it.." continued Afika.
"Yes, I admit that Afina is an independent woman, she is beautiful, independent, a leader in a big company.. But until now I haven't been able to fully love her" Dhimas said.
"Then how did you know about Gisele and what she was going to do?" ask Afika.
"Yes towards our wedding date, I told Afina everything. By that I want her to know my true feelings, and will start trying to love her." Dhimas explained.
"I said that actually until now I still can't forget my lover, Gisele. But because of this match, I had to accept it. Then Afina tried to find out who Gisele was." Dhimas continued.
"So does he know that Gisele is me?" ask Afika.
"I don't know yet. Because he just said that he knew Gisele's identity and wanted to take me to the girl."
"But I said the story was over and now I'm going to learn to love her. The proof of my seriousness is that I am asking for the blessing of my grandmother in the Netherlands and inviting my relatives there to attend our wedding which will take place next month" explained Dhimas.
'Is that why he insisted on going to Holland after that just picked me up to New York?' afika muttered in heart.
Afika was speechless.
"Just before she flew, Afina sent me an SMS saying if I was happier with Gisele she would let me go" Dhimas said.
"Dhimas, it seems like my brother already knew that Gisele was his sister. So he tried to meet you to the Netherlands, because the planning after that you will pick me up. That's what I heard from dad." said Afika.
Dhimas and Afika fell silent.
They both came back to mind about their meeting 2 years ago.
