My Brother's Bed Rattles

My Brother's Bed Rattles
Wedding Day


A few months later.


"Are you really not coming, Mona?" ms. Lidia asked once again to Mona who was sitting pensively on the front room sofa.


Mona's face looked gloomy and her body looked even thinner. The girl had not even performed her morning bathing ritual, but was already sitting in that place alone.


Mona shook her head slowly. "No, Ma. I still can't show my face in front of Risa's mom. I'm ashamed to remember how I've been acting towards her" Mona said, still staring blankly at the wall of the room.


"Hmmm, your behavior is outrageous, Mona. But, there is no harm in you coming to your wedding. Congratulations, and apologize to him for all the mistakes you've done" replied Ms. Lydia as she stroked Mona's shoulder.


"I'll definitely apologize to her, Mom. But not now," he said.


"Yes, that's it then. We have to leave soon, afraid it'll be too late."


Ms. Lydia rushed after Mr. Abdi who was waiting for her in the car. When she got there, she went in and sat down next to her husband.


"Hows it? Does Mona still insist on not coming?" ask Mr. Abdi.


Miss Lydia nodded slowly. "Yes, Dad. He said he was still embarrassed to meet Risa. But, oh, let him be. We'd better leave, I'm afraid it's too late" said the middle-aged woman.


Mr. Abdi snorted in annoyance. "Hmmm, Mona is indeed so outrageous! As a man, I was upset to hear all his confessions. If he was not my daughter, maybe he had beaten her all out," said Mr. Abdi later.


"Easy, Dad. Everything has happened. Maybe this is their destiny. And now Risa has found someone who really loves her" continued Ms. Lydia.


"Yes, I was right too."


Mr. Abdi immediately drove the car away from his residence. While Mona peeked at the departure of her Father and Mother from behind the glass curtains.


"May you always be happy, Risa. Forgive me for destroying your home" muttered Mona with teary eyes staring out the window.


It was not felt that Mr. Abdi and Ms. Lydia also arrived at a multipurpose building, which was the venue for the wedding of Risa and Ayden.


"Is this really the place?" ask Mr. Abdi to Ms. Lydia while paying attention to the magnificent building.


"It seems to be true, Dad. Look, there's a picture of Risa here" he replied.


"Wow, what exactly does Ayden do to be able to rent a building as big and grand as this to welcome their wedding day? I would love to ask, but honestly I'm ashamed, Mom," said Mr. Abdi as he stepped in with Ms. Lydia at the venue.


"Ish, I told you that Ayden is not just an ordinary employee, Dad. Just look at the items he wears and all branded goods. Gini-gini, I know the names of famous brands," replied Miss Lydia steadily.


"Yes, too, Mom." Mr. Abdi nodded his head in agreement.


"That's right!" timpal Bu Lydia's.


Not for Mommy Tiya. The beautiful woman had tried to forget everything. Because now Ayden has managed to get his happiness.


The beautiful woman without hesitation approached and welcomed the arrival of Mr. Abdi and Ms. Lydia then invited him to join her extended family.


"Sit here with us, Mr. Abdi and Ms. Lydia because now you are part of us as well" said Mommy Tiya.


Miss Lydia nodded with teary eyes. He was so moved by Mommy Tiya's warm attitude. "Thank you, Mom. Thank you very much."


"Together, Mom. Never mind," replied Mommy Tiya.


Mr. Abdi and Ms. Lydia were sitting in the seats reserved for them.


"You're right, Mom. Just look, the entire Ayden family seems to be from a family that is located. Unlike us," said Mr. Abdi while watching the whole family of Ayden gathered in the room.


"What did you say" said Ms. Lydia.


Right at that moment, Mr. Thunder and Bu Ara came over to them. "Sir Abdi, it's good to see you again" said Mr. Thunder.


"I am too, Sir. Come, please sit."


They also gathered there while chatting while waiting for the two brides who were preparing in the dressing room.


Mr. Thunder's family has so much respect for Mr. Abdi's family. How not, they feel very indebted because Mr. Abdi's family is willing to raise Risa well.


Meanwhile.


"Sorry, Mas. The invitation?"


A security guard at the party approached the man who wanted to sneak into the building. The man with the wand in simple clothes.


The man with the stick shook his head. He could not give up what the security asked for.


"So you don't have the invitation? Then sorry, I can't let you go inside. Now, please come out" said the security as he pointed to the building's courtyard.


That man is Arga. He exhaled heavily then was forced to walk away from the place. The security looked at Arga with pity. Moreover, the man is in a condition of disability.


"If Mas wants to ask for food, Mas just wait here, let me later bring it in" said Security, whispering softly to Arga.


Arga looked at the security. Want to be angry it feels useless because at that time his appearance did look so sad. Forcibly, Arga sat in a chair in the courtyard of the building, without seeing how Risa and Ayden were together.
