My employer, my husband
Chapter 17

"Eh, what would her husband be? At this hour, the time has not come?!" whispered the neighbors.

"Don't Nazia just get played? Poor that girl" said the other.

Various kinds of neighbor's speech were heard clearly to his ears. Nazia's hands shook, cold sweat came out from her palms and her chest felt tight.

Time and time again, Nazia glanced at her bututu phone hoping either Miss Radia or Mr. Dodi told her about their delay. However, for hours he waited, not a single message notification came in.

"Yes, God. What else is this experiment?" lirih Nazia while staring at the many pairs of eyes that were watching her.

One by one the invited guests began to say goodbye. However, there is still no sign of the arrival of Aditya and his parents.

"How is this, Mom?" ask Mr. Penghulu to Bi Narti whose face has started to turn pale.

Bi Narti cupped his hands together and begged the Pak Penghulu. "I beg you, sir. Just wait a minute. I'm sure they're just late."

Mr. Penghulu glanced at his watch then nodded his head slowly. "Alright, Mom. I'll wait a few more hours."

"Thank you, sir, for understanding."

Bi Narti approached Nazia at the pelaminan, then crouched down beside the girl. "Dear Nazia, you better take a break, yeah! Your face looks pale, son."

Slowly Nazia nodded her head. He immediately got up from the guarantee and was led by Bi Narti to his room. Nazia was no longer able to sit for long in the pelaminan. Especially when he saw people looking at him with pity.

"Bi, my hunch seems right. Aditya would never come to this wedding," Nazia shriveled with her head bowed to the floor.

Bi Narti sat Nazia on the edge of the girl's bed. Then, he sat down next to the girl while stroking her back gently.

"Don't talk like that, son. We just pray, hopefully they are only late, who knows 'they are stuck in traffic or something is disturbing their journey," said Bi Narti.

Nazia shook her head then said, "It seems impossible. If that really happened, they would have told Nazia, Bi."

Meanwhile, at Mr. Dodi's residence.

Miss Radia was sitting on her luxurious sofa sobbing. She does not think that Aditya chose to disappear on her wedding day. While Mr. Dodi, the middle-aged man was pacing in front of his wife while trying to contact Aditya's mobile number which had not been active since.

"Truly the child does not know in profit! You see him, Radia!  He humiliated us, especially Nazia and Miss Narti! I can't stand having to show my face to that poor girl, so does Miss Narti!" annoyed Mr. Dodi while rubbing his face violently.

"Other than Mother, sir. But, how else. Our children have humiliated their families and we must immediately apologize to Nazia and Ms. Narti even though they will never forgive us" Ms. Radia said, wiping away her tears. Beautiful face wrapped in makeup that now looks messy and overflowing everywhere.

"Alright, Mom. We'd better go see Nazia and apologize to the girl and Miss Narti."

Mr. Dodi helped Ms. Radia get up from her seat and then took her to her car.

Putting aside his embarrassment, Mr. Dodi and Mr. Radia stepped foot toward Ms. Nari who had been waiting for their arrival.

"Mom," said Bu Radia with puffy eyes looking at Bi Narti.

"You'd better meet Nazia in her room and talk to the girl. I can no longer see how he is!" the Bi Narti.

Madam Radia stepped back into the girl's room. When he was on the doorstep of the room, he saw Nazia sitting on the edge of her bed with a pale face. Slowly, Madam Radia approached the girl and sat down next to her.

"Nazia, forgive us." Miss Radia is back sobbing. He cried while hugging Nazia's tiny body. The girl was silent, not a word coming out of her lips. Only tears are proof that his heart is now broken, as broken as it is.

"We didn't mean to embarrass you, Nazia. But, Aditya ...." Miss Radia's lips shook, she could not continue her words especially when she looked at the poor girl's pretty face.

Just as Miss Radia was still trying to apologize to Nazia, Danish arrived in front of the girl's residence. He was confused when he saw a guarantee that was still on display in front of Nazia's house. Especially when it was a simple house owned by bi Narti in such a way that it looks more beautiful.

Danish approached some mothers who were still cool about Nazia's failed marriage. At first glance, Danish heard them say the girl's name and made her curious.

"Sorry, Mom. May ask? If you may know, whose wedding is it, ma'am?" danish asked as he watched the remnants of the party.

The Mothers watched the Danish from head to toe. They rounded their eyes as they watched the handsome crowd standing before them.

"Bi Narti's niece's wedding, Nazia's name," said one of them.

"Nazia?!" pekik Danish's.

Instantly his body weakened. He did not expect that today was the wedding day of his beloved girl.

"Yes, Son. But alas, Nazia's marriage failed because her future husband disappeared somewhere" the mothers continued.

"really?! Then how's the girl doing?" Danish really panicked and wanted to see the girl.

"Yes, be sad, kid. Poor him, he must have been devastated."

Danish looked back at Bi Narti's residence while thinking hard, until he finally decided to meet the girl.

"Yes, already. Thanks for the information, Mom. Excuse me first," said Danish as he said goodbye and then stepped foot towards Bi Narti's residence.
