The next day, Saras's wedding day, Tan's ex-girlfriend has arrived.
before heading to the wedding reception of her ex-boyfriend, Tan did the usual morning yoga in the rooftop. After she finished, she headed straight to the bathroom for her morning bath.
in less than 10 minutes she was done with her morning shower and headed straight to her room with a towel wrapped around her bottom.
Arriving at the room, he took a bottle of deodorant cream to apply to both armpits, then he sprayed the perfume across his body so that his body gave off a pleasant smell to breathe, and lastly wear a hair spray to form his hair that has been converted into a comb over style into a pomade shape.
All that he bought in the mini market and this is the first time Tan has done all of these things. Usually she will never wear underarm creams, perfumes and hair spray.
He only relied on his bath soap to make his body fragrant and his hair was only trimmed back when it was a bit dry.
After that, she started to open the wardrobe and took out one of her semi-formal clothing stellans that she bought yesterday.
She will be getting ready to go to the reception location of Saras' wedding with her husband, Harry which will take place at 9 am and it is still at 8 am.
In the invitation provided there are two agendas, namely the contract and wedding reception.
Tan will only attend the reception, not come on board because it is only for the family and close friends events of the bride and groom. She is not family and close friends of the bride and groom, so there is no need to be present on the agenda.
"Well, which one should I wear?" Tan felt confused in choosing a suit or jacket.
After thinking less than 2 minutes he finally chose to wear a suit.
He wears a white shirt which is then overwritten with a vest and overwritten again in a black suit. The bottom wears a plain black boxer and is overwritten with black fit skinny pants.
Looking at her appearance in the mirror, Tan felt that what was in the mirror was not her appearance but someone else's.
"Who is this? Can't the guy in the mirror be me?" Said Tan who felt disbelief in his current appearance.
Tan just laughed at himself because of his attitude. He then picked up an analog branded watch from the Swiss state that he bought 10 million.
He never wears a watch, but because to complete his semi-formal appearance, he must use the analog watch.
After finishing with his appearance and re-glazed to make sure there is nothing wrong with his appearance.
Tan immediately exited the room by picking up one of his new socks, wearing it and holding a wedding gift box. He walked towards the side door.
Just to the bottom right of the side door there is a box taking a box containing casual branded outdoor pantofel shoes with real leather material that he bought yesterday for 3.2 million rupiah.
He immediately put on those semi-formal shoes and this was the second time Tan had worn such a type of shoe.
She wears pantofel shoes while attending her college graduation. The pantofel shoes that were worn at that time were also kw items that he bought on the roadside for 150,000 rupiah and the lining of his shoes had been damaged even though it was never again worn after graduation.
By wearing pantofel shoes are complete or perfect appearance at this time. He already looks like an entrepreneur or worker who holds an executive position in a large company.
"Still at half-nine in the morning, there's still half an hour left for the reception to begin." Tan said as he looked at the analog watch that was on his right wrist.
He immediately exited the house, locked it and walked towards the garage to start his car engine and then opened the turnstile to get his Olanders out.
There was no time for him to get his car out of the garage, close back the garage door and fence and then run the car towards the Peace hotel where Saras and Harry's wedding reception took place.
He drove the car casually, listening to music played by one of the radio stations. Tan felt no need to rush to the wedding reception of his ex-girlfriend.
By driving the car as leisurely as possible, he arrived at the Peace hotel at exactly 09.20 WIB. With directions from the hotel employee, Tan was directed to the underground parking lot which has two floors.
Tan had to park his car in the B2 parking area because B1 was full of cars that had to be shared with motorcycles, although the car park area was wider than the motor parking area.
Out of the car, he immediately walked to the elevator with a gift box. There were also some people waiting in front of elevator B2. Those people are one couple and one family by wearing batik uniforms with different patterns and colors.
A well-aged teenage girl and girl wearing a batik uniform that was the same color and pattern, saw Tan with a stunned face.
They felt like they were looking at a handsome actor near them when they saw Tan. Likewise, the woman who was with her partner saw Tan without blinking which made her partner realize it and become jealous.
He felt annoyed and angry at Tan who had a cooler appearance than him. The woman who became his partner realized that his partner was jealous. He just laughed lightly and then comforted her.
The elevator doors then opened Tan along with the couple and one family entered the elevator.
Tan pressed the ground floor button and a few minutes later the elevator door closed and moved up.
The man still did not realize that the women who were in the elevator with him continued to look at Tan with admiration. Especially the teenage girl who felt she wanted to be Tan's girlfriend, even though she was still second grade Junior High.
Two minutes later, the elevator stopped and the elevator doors opened so Tan could see the interior of the Peace hotel lobby.
He had expected that the Peace hotel lobby would be very extraordinary, not inferior to the Magurukmo royal hotel lobby because the Peace hotel is also a five-star hotel.
But the interior of the Peace hotel is more to the classic western feel than Java.
When he got out of the elevator, he didn't know which way to go to Saras' wedding reception. Tan immediately headed to the reception desk in the lobby to ask the location of the wedding reception of his ex-girlfriend.
"Excuse me, can you tell me the location of the hotel's ballroom? I want to attend the wedding reception that takes place there." Said Tan to one of the female receptionist employees.
The female employee was immediately stunned to see Tan's appearance from her face to Tan's clothes.
"Ah, yes, the ballroom is over there, you'll see a direction board for the wedding reception." Said the female officer.
"Gosh, I see a guy who's pretty cool and he looks rich too, if I could be his wife, I'd be so happy for 100 years if that happened." Thought that woman who could only hope.
He could only realize reality harsher than his imagination.
Tan finds a directional sign that reads Saras and Harry's wedding reception.
Following those directions, Tan was finally able to see the door of the Peace hotel ballroom. Right beside the ballroom door from her direction, she saw rows of flowers congratulating Saras and Harry on the wedding of Harry and Saras family acquaintances.
Tan passed through the bouquet and stopped in front of the ballroom entrance, queuing to fill in the guestbook as well as showing the invitation.
In his turn, he took out an invitation from his suit pocket, showed the person on duty at the reception, wrote his name and handed the wedding gift box to the recipient.
The contents of the gift box given to the receptionist was a stack of 15 million dollars, 10 Million for the wedding gift and 5 million to return the money Saras once gave her when her ex-boyfriend declared their relationship over.
The receptionists were all female so that when Tan was in front of them, the receptionists could not take their eyes off Tan.
They greatly admired Tan's face and appearance like a young executive in a large company.
After finishing writing his name in the guest list book and giving the wedding gift box
The receptionist gave a pamphlet with a prewedding photo of Saras and Harry and a number.
The contents of the pamphlet were the location of Tan's desk and chair and also the reception agenda.
Tan immediately entered and he saw the wedding reception decoration had a modern feel, simple but looks luxurious and elegant.
The laminate has a small stage with a long white sofa and four individual white sofas on the right and left of the long sofa with a 2:2 split.
The color used is predominantly white with a variety of white flower decorations and synthetic green leaves.
Right in the middle of the ballroom was a long white carpet that led to the guarantee. Right and left of the white carpet there are tables and chairs that can be used for guests to use. The table and chairs are covered with a white cover.
Tan hasn't seen Saras and Harry together with their parents in the park.
"So it hasn't started the reception yet."
Without a second thought, Tan immediately headed to his seat based on the location listed on the pamphlet.
"It should be here, right?" Tan asked in his mind while looking at the number listed on the pamphlet as well as the number on the seat.
After matching the numbers listed on the pamphlet and the numbers on the seats together, Tan immediately sat down while looking around.
He just sat alone in the place and the place was also in the corner, close to the ballroom wall.
After taking a look around her, she saw her ex-boyfriend's wedding reception pamphlet again. Tan looked at the agenda section which turned out the wedding reception started at 10am and ended at 1pm.
As he read the agenda for Saras' wedding reception, the empty seat with which he sat was filled by a family of five, two adults, two teenage boys and one girl.
Tan greeted the parents of the three children just for manners and then chatted a few words just for stale ado.
From that stale base, Tan knew that the father of the family who sat at one table with him was an employee of the Jaya group company branch of the city of Yogyakarta.
Time is running fast, the MC of the wedding reception has announced the event will begin so ask the invited guests to sit in the designated place.
After the invited guests sat down, the MC officer immediately started the event with a few sentences which then allowed the bride to be in the guarantee.
At the same time, the MCs asked the invited guests to stand up and applaud the arrival of Saras and Harry who would walk on the white carpet.
The sound of wedding arrangements was heard in the ballroom along with the entry of Harry and Saras.
Tan saw Harry wearing white formal attire with a jasmine necklace. Saras also wears a Muslim wedding dress and it makes her look more beautiful than Tan usually sees.
"They both look very good." Said the father of the family sitting at a table with Tan.
The introverted man just nodded his head and there was a bit of sadness in him as it was not him walking side by side with Saras as her husband.
Tan, however, must be happy and offer the best prayers for Saras and Harry on their happy day.
The couple has been in the bridal bidding with their parents on the right and left, respectively.
Tan can see the faces of Saras' mother and father looking so happy that even their facial expressions are so happy than when Tan visited their house to pick up Saras while still his girlfriend.
From there Tan only realized that Saras' parents did not like him all this time.
The agenda is continued with the giving of respect to both parents by the bride and groom at the same time the paternal discouragement and the release of parents on their married child and make their own family.
After that, the agenda continued with a welcome from the representatives of the bridal family, the, then the prayer reading for the bride and then the MC will call one by one the guests in accordance with the order in the guest book for congratulations and photos with the bride and groom.
The MCs of the event immediately began calling invited guests to advance to the guarantee in order to give congratulations and take pictures with the bride. The time given each sequence is a maximum of five minutes.
One by one the invited guests advance to the band as the MCs call out their names. After waiting for a few minutes, Tan was finally mentioned by the MC to advance to the guarantee.
"Fuhhh~it's my turn, make a happy smile Tan." Tan said in his mind and walked towards the pelaminan.
