"Tell Mama, papa congratulate her. May you always be happy with Doddy." Bram's voice trembled, while patting Bella's cheek gently.
"Why didn't you tell him yourself?" A heavy voice made Bram look up, in surprise.
"Are you too afraid to do it yourself?"
Bram stood upright, releasing Bella's hand to coincide with the boisterous applause of the guests after hearing Doddy's speech. Next to the sound of the song reverberating in music, the couple danced, at the request of the MC.
Bram stared from afar at how the face of Diah who was smiling shyly, was held captive by Doddy. A hug from the handsome man who is now the husband of his ex-wife, makes Bram turn his eyes to the man standing in front of him while his hands are hidden in his pocket, in a cold face looking at Bram.
"Raka..."
This is the first time he has faced each other directly since last year's release, at the High School. She only heard all the news about Raka after their engagement and of course she never intended to meet with Raka after she ran away this male fiancee before her wedding.
Bram is actually the biggest enemy in Raka's life, which once broke Raka's heart and almost fell. Bram already knew he was going to meet Raka at the wedding reception of his ex-wife, he was already heartened to accept whatever might happen.
Revenge and heartache from Raka to him is natural, worth the heinous deeds he has done to the man. Cheating with his fiancee and running away his partner is an act that can hardly be tolerated.
Bram knows he can't run away from this forever, when he has to deal with the person he avoids the most.
"I know you hate me so much." Bram gulped down his saliva that felt like a stone while looking at some guests who seemed to be standing not far from them, taking a drink presented at the serving table. He was afraid that his voice would become too loud.
"It's nice if you finally realize, all your actions can arouse the hurt and hatred of others." Raka raised her eyebrows at Bram. A moment later Bella let go of Bram's hand and ran a little towards his aunt, as Diah's sister waved at him from afar.
"Unfortunately, don't expect to see me showing my hate for you and feel worth it if I spill it on you. I've completely forgotten everything you've done, even in a small part of my life, I've never considered you meaningful enough to grab my attention." Raka shook her shoulders.
"Dust flakes, just dirt. I've been cleaning up a long time so as not to bother me. Just like you, I really have no taste for being arrogant and demeaning my pride by questioning what you did in the past. Your presence despite having stolen something from my life, I never felt really lost. Because the agate you stole from me has been replaced by a diamond by God." Raka smiled a little cynically.
Bram's face was flushed red, as the man's blood felt up to his head when he was called a thief and the woman he had once judged was likened to agate, but what Raka said was true, if he had to interrupt, Bram lost the word to defend himself or Sally.
"Then, I realized one thing.in life, I had to meet the wrong person before I met the right person. And I'm really glad you took the wrong people out of my life, so I don't have to spend my time with the wrong people." Raka took her hand out of her pocket, with clenched hands approaching Bram.
Bram's face was red, looking tense and alert.
Raka's hand was raised slowly, then placed it on Bram's shoulder with a slight force.
"I'm really sorry about what happened. I know you won't forgive me." Bram's jaw is hardened but Raka who is right in front of him only directs a look at Bram who looks resigned to what Raka will do to him.
"I can't say I forgive you, because I'm not a judge who deserves to judge people's mistakes. I have God teaching me about love, he will give me his justice, I just live my part and God will do His part to defend me. If you want to apologize, then ask God, if you feel your actions may have hurt many people. My suffering is still far from comparable to that of your ex-wife..." Raka patted Bram on the shoulder.
"So, I only wanted to meet you once in my life, to make one point clear, I never held anything in your revenge, Bram. Make your life useful at least once, that way, your regrets are not in vain." Raka retreated, a few steps smiling widely, before leaving the glued Bram unmoved. As it turns out, being treated well by someone we have obviously hurt maliciously is more painful than receiving a million excuses.
Bram looked at Diah who was bowing with Doddy after finishing their dance. Welcomed the guests' applause.
Their eyes met when Diah raised his face, and Bella tugged at her hand and showed her where Bram was standing.
Bram immediately threw away his face, and turned his body towards the exit, wiping the two clear hairs on the corner of his eyes that had fallen just like that.
He knew that his presence was nothing to Diah. The woman who had accompanied her life almost a year ago, had been truly happy. Without it Diah's life is much better.
...***...
Doddy impatiently pulled Diah's hand into the hotel room where the wedding reception had just ended.
After a series of tiring events with the invited guests, after the magrib continued with a dinner event together with their two extended families.
And when the clock was about to show the number ten, they were only really able to enter the room.
"God, baby, I'm so tired..." Doddy embraces Diah who is still wearing a white dress, an evening dress after half a day of wearing a wedding dress.
"I'll massage you tonight to reduce your fatigue." Diah lets go of Doddy's embrace and extends her hand to remove the semi-formal suit Doddy was wearing for a family dinner.
"really?" Doddy's eyes sparkled at Diah, tiredness soon evaporated, staring at his wife. The experience of the last few nights with Diah made him swallow, he was crazy about the makeup of his wife.
