Rey pulled Aya's hand firmly making Aya unable to resist.
"Come with me. I'll make sure everything's okay" Rey said.
"Ak! What are you gonna do? I don't want to go back to the show, Ak! I'm so embarrassed!" aya pleaded with Rey to let go of her hand and let her go.
Rey was still silent and kept holding Aya's hand without even hinting at Aya's words.
After returning to the middle of the show. Rey and Aya were both surprised to see Mama Salamah already on stage to clarify.
What made Aya and Rey even more surprised was. A photo that is clearly displayed on a large screen.
It was a photo of Aya and Rey who were overlapping.
Rey and Aya widened their eyes. Their hearts suddenly beat very strongly. They do not believe that the incident was photographed by Vino when he was self-sufficient.
"For all the people who are here and for all who are out there. I'm here to try to clarify this photo. Actually, my son Rey has been reunited with his ex-wife named Aya. In fact they had not been referring to them for long, all because of their children! And just now, probably because of the shock of my daughter-in-law alone, nothing more!" mama Salamah. For the sake of the reputation of the family's good name, Mama Salamah was forced to perform a charade.
"Well! That's her old bride and has been springing back. Look at them, are they not okay now. I told you, everything is just a misunderstanding. For my son and my daughter-in-law, please go upstairs and give your explanation so that there is no misunderstanding" said Mama Salamah pointing Aya and Rey who were holding hands.
Rey understood, her mother did this for the sake of the reputation of the family and the company.
"Ehm!" Rey cleared her throat and looked at Aya. Rey's eyes seemed to say if, everything would be fine.
Because of the pressure from everyone who looked towards them. Makes Aya finally follow the game of fate.
It is seen if Vino and Hani both bow their heads. Rey knew her son was feeling very guilty. Vino and Hani don't know about the photo. And now it's too late.
Rey took the stage which was only one meter tall.
The cheque!
The cheque!
Rey tried to calm herself.
"The people I respect. I apologize for what just happened. Actually, I would like to say that we've been re-referenced and all for the sake of the children. The awkwardness is still attached to us. Hehe, you know what it's like to have old love springing back. Em, actually we're having a little problem, just a household problem. Whatever it is, I love the woman beside me. You can see for yourself, after the incident in fact we are back holding hands, now" Rey said trying to convince everyone.
Aya, she could only fall silent in disbelief at what she heard. In front of everyone and in front of the media. Aya could only faintly smile to disguise her shock and awkwardness with the big lie that was being covered up.
Mama Salamah and Mr. Maher could only smile at all this. They also did not expect that such a thing would happen.
Vino and Hani are still loyal to bow their heads. They really still feel guilty. Because of them, both parents were forced to lie in public in order to maintain the reputation of the family's good name.
Axelin who was initially very satisfied had humiliated Aya. Now the upside is up with the situation. He clenched his hands very tightly.
Everyone applauded Aya and Rey's romance. The media crew madly took photos of Aya and Rey embracing each other. Really, Aya and Rey are both helpless. All the theatrics they finally had to do.
The most unexpected thing is. Everyone one by one took the stage to congratulate Aya and Rey as if they were a newlywed couple.
Aya was eager to end this charade and ran away and disappeared. But, don't run. Bending his knees that felt crampy he did not dare.
Rey with her friendly smile welcomed all the guests who wanted to congratulate her.
Mr. Qodir did not escape to congratulate him.
"Ah, congratulations, Mr. Rey! I didn't know if this news was true. It's great to see you guys coming back. May the world of the Hereafter be happy. Amiin!" said Mr. Qodir.
"Hehe. Both Mr. Qodir. Thank you so much for praying for us. May you also soon give up your single years," joked Rey.
"Ah, you don't seem to know if I'm trying to get close to someone!" sahut Mr. Qodir.
Rey simply smiled and embraced her friend.
"Hopefully, guys!" whispered Rey.
"Thank you very much, man. Hehe!" sahut Qodir's.
Aya frowned. He whispered to Rey.
"Ak! Who will approach Lord Qodir?" whispered Aya.
"Axeline!" rey replied softly without looking at Aya's face. Not without reason, really Rey is not able to look at Aya. If he chooses, he would rather jump over this building than have to look at Aya's face.
Maybe Rey's self-esteem in front of everyone is fine. But in front of Aya, Rey really felt that she had no self-esteem.
Aya looked at Rey's face with sadness.
"Are you still mad at me?" aya felt disappointed.
He felt that his sacrifice following this charade was futile. In fact, Rey was still mad at him." thought Aya!
