...🥀🥀🥀...
The day before the wedding, his cousin from Indonesia arrived. But all that was not enough to make the grim on Neo's face disappear. He still feels uncomfortable and tends to be sad.
Pakde and Budenya also came to his house even though at night had to return to the hotel, because the capacity of his mother's house was not as large as Opa's great-grandfather's house.
The more days he was made stranger to his mother who was much more quiet than usual. He could no longer even express his objections about this marriage to his mother. Opa took everything.
Opa also looks more scary. He's getting scared. His face was always cloudy and tense. Several times he was also seen arguing with his mother. While Oma as usual, the woman may have the right to win the title of obedient wife, because all this time arguing with Opa, not even though Oma looks to mediate.
Is Mom really stupid?
" Where would you put Papa's face if you came back with that guy, huh?"
" But Demas forgave Pa. At least don't make it hard for Neo to meet his father!"
" So this is your reply after Neo has grown? Don't you remember those times you used to?"
" Don't Papa and Mama used to be bags, too..."
THE PLAQUE!
Neo who heard a loud punch from behind the wall, immediately ran towards the room mbak Juwi. He's afraid. Along with that Oma Jessika and Papa David who also just came out of nowhere were seen running with tense faces.
" If you want to go back to that guy, go back there! But don't even see your father!"
Deo and Demas summarize the shoulder of his cousin whose painful face is finished in the slap of the Papa. Claire realized her mouth was too insolent because she dared to bring up the mass of her parents. But frankly, he had run out of sense to awaken the Papa.
Papa Leo chose to leave with a burning chest. While Mama Bella who had died from love with her husband chose to leave without looking again. Absolutly.
Marriage is in sight, but the commotion happens.
" Well, why is Neo here?"
Bude Arimbi is famous for being friendly, and always able to calm the atmosphere now even finds himself crying like a little loser. Neo chooses to hide behind the kitchen because he did not find Mbak Juwi. He was afraid, sad and not brave.
Neo cowering in fear. Still not lost from the memory of Opa's angry voice, and the sound of a blow that was greeted with a scream that he believed was the voice of the Mother.
" Bude did Opa hit Mom? Why was Mom hit?"
Arimbi gulped. Didn't expect Neo to escape surveillance. He realized, the more crazy activity ahead of the wedding day made the child rather unkempt.
" No. Maybe Neo misheard. We go ahead yuk. We're after Bima!"
"May I ask you not to marry me?"
Arimbi again gulped his saliva. I don't know who to blame here. He then called Deo who happened to pass near them because he felt he could not calm Neo alone.
" What's up?" tanya Deo fretted. He came out to find his wife to calm Claire.
" I think this marriage is less socialized deh mas!" arimbi exclaimed with a gloomy face.
" Neo heard when Leo slapped Claire!"
" What?"
Deo who saw the grim face of his nephew immediately understood.

That night, Claire could not close her eyes. The image of the disappointed face of the Papa seems quite disturbing and eliminates drowsiness. He chose to go downhill at his house.
His cousin and his family sleep in a hotel. It's okay, his house is not as big as his family home in town B.
"When the current is swift, there is no point in resisting. All you can do is follow the flow. There is no flood that does not recede, so does human persolanan. Leo is angry because of excessive fear. Among us CEOs, the name Sadawira has indeed entered the ranks of bad names. You alone can
determine!"
" Claire, I don't blame anyone here. I really can't force anyone. Clearly, whatever decision you make, you will support it."
Deo's words last night successfully triggered his courage to meet the Papa tonight. With a slow step, the woman now sits her body on the sofa of the living room where her father is still not asleep.
" Bad!" greet Claire with a pretty awkward atmosphere.
Silent. Leo did not answer or look back even though he realized the child had come.
" Claire apologizes for offending Papa!"
Leo was silent. His mind is really not good. The softness of his eldest daughter's mouth really made his heart ache.
" Is it because your Mom and Dad were wrong and you got the same argument?"
Claire looked down with a tight chest.
Claire was getting late in regret. It is true that said by a writer of romance novels that he had read, that many laziness that will not be completed only with emotion.
" I'll get married tomorrow. Quickly rest!"
...----------------...
Papa David and Mama Jessika can see how happy the sister, Leo, while greeting some guests who began to attend. Not much indeed, only close family and acquaintances who happen to be in the city.
They chose a good day to marry under the pretext of aborting all sorts of abstinence.
Edwin looks dashing with a suit that matches the color of Claire. But his face looks unusual. It seemed to be keeping one thing only he himself and God knew.
The hotel that was rented for the event also looks very ready. Even Mama Edwin also invited some important people in the country. Prove that they're not kidding.
Claire who is now led by her two sisters-in-law Eva and Arimbi looks very beautiful. Edwin stared at him. Even the man continued to stare at Claire's face which looked more friendly this morning.
This time it was Claire's turn to be really nervous. He sat down next to Edwin who did not stop looking at him.
" Why?"
" You're so pretty!" answer Edwin honestly.
Claire smiled at a glance inclined to be forced. I don't know, as hard as he forced himself, but the fact he really can't enjoy this marriage.
Making Edwin again bowed with a stirred heart. Worry is eating away at his manly attitude. Risau urged his common sense. And in that second, Edwin was like being disturbed by a series of events that now made his chest uneasy.
After the two brides sat down at the place provided, Neo who could not see it chose to leave. The boy couldn't stand it. More precisely not like.
Will his mother forget him? For some time, my mother has often been busy alone with Om Edwin. What will happen after they get married? Neo went to sneak and shout among the large group of people who were impatient to see the event.
Everyone was seated, ready to wait for the wedding to take place. But when the man's hand was shook by the officer, Edwin's mouth did not open.
" Sister Edwin!" call the officer to see Edwin who even daydreamed.
Ms. Siska and Papa Leo look the most restless. Why this, is Edwin too groggy so out of focus.
" Good mother, let's try again!"
Claire caught an abnormal gait on the tall man beside her. He even felt Edwin was not as serious as usual. Is her husband really groggy?
Until the moment the man's mouth opened, answered all the strange unrest that had previously lingered in Claire's heart.
" Sorry. I can't!"
The deg!
It was awkward, tense and quiet but seconds later the atmosphere in the hotel ballroom was full of rafters. What kind of joke is this?
Leo Darmawan who heard Edwin's silly answer immediately inflamed. The man stood up and pointed at Edwin's face.
" What are you saying. Are you also trying to play my son?" exclaiming the inflamed Leo Darmawan.
Deo, Demas, Eva and Arimbi look shocked instead of playing. Papa David and Mama Jessika.
" I'm sorry Om. I'm not the one playing Claire. But Claire played me. I love Claire very much. But unfortunately I'm not the one Claire loves. Even to this day, she still doesn't love me!"
THE DUAR!
They do not know if Edwin is actually there and present in their house when they argue Sadawira. Moreover, he who saw Claire's face is not as happy as his parents increasingly assert that all this he can not continue.
It's free even though he can have a Neo body, but he can't have his heart.
" And I cannot marry someone who does not love me at all" she said, removing the cloth covering the brides' heads. Forgive me!" edwin smiled wryly.
The shadow twice rejected Claire when she wanted to kiss. Then other evidence that confirms Claire actually still loves Father Neo really makes Edwin hit and sad.
In that instant, Claire's eyes fell unstoppably. His chest tightened at the press of that most honest voice. It has hurt a lot of people. Including Edwin.
Mama Siska seemed to shed tears, the guests were gossiping to each other. The atmosphere of joy and joy that existed, in an instant turned into a catastrophe.
But the cry of Melodi from the end made the now chaotic situation even more uncontrollable.
" Father! Neo ran off to Pa's street, I lost track of him!"
" What did you say?"
