The feeling of guilt was certainly so strong that it slapped Nandita at that time.
He is not a person who likes to hurt others, but the fact is that there is a heart that must be broken to see him embrace with other men.
"Aslan ...! Wait ...!" He shouted, speeding up his steps toward his prospective fiancee who had turned around was about to leave.
"Aslan ... It's not like you think, I don't mean to cuddle with her, I just ...."
"Enjoyed his embrace?" Cut Aslan, with sharp eyes.
"Nan, listen ... I know you still don't love me, but that doesn't mean you can embarrass me like this." Aslan said with a disappointed look.
Nandita shook her head strongly, the man before her was mistaken.
"No that's ... You misunderstood ..."
"Let's talk, we don't have much time. You better get in, meet our guests."
"Then you?"
"There's still a little business I have to sort out." Aslan glanced at Gunadh who was still standing a little distance away.
Although worried, but Nandita could not prevent the man. Because there will definitely be new problems that arise, if he blocks Aslan's intentions.
Even when the man kissed his forehead, he did not dare to refuse it.
While Gunadh was looking at the scene, his heart was sliced off in pain, but was unable to do anything.
It was enough for him to see defeat before his eyes, Gunadh turned around about to leave the place.
"Don't be a loser many times. Time and time again presents a problem for him, and leaves it just like that." Aslan spoke in English.
Gunadh turned his head, he could see the figure of a handsome man in white, who was probably the age of Nandita, standing with both hands inserted into the bag of gray cloth pants, which he wore.
Gunadh knows the man is Nandita's future fiancee.
He was reluctant to respond to the babble of a stranger, who had taken his lover.
"I wonder why Nandita loves a man like you so much? Who easily took off, easily left, assuming she was a meaningless girl," Aslan returned to heat up Gunadh.
"So what you say! You don't know my life, so just shut up." Cut Gunadh who began to be overcome by emotions.
Aslan smiled mockingly.
He folded his hands in front of his chest, as if challenging Gunadh whose face had turned red.
"Everyone has problems in his life, don't feel the most hurt, feel the most pain." He stared at gunadh.
"I don't want to interfere with your life. I just wanted to say, if you really want to make sure Nandita is happy, stay here and see how I bring that happiness to her. If you're not a loser, you're gonna have to face reality."
Aslan leaves Gunadh still sculpting.
Letting the man fight the dilemma that entangled his heart.
Although the pain that Aslan felt was so agonizing to his heart, presenting a tightness that made his chest seem to split, but he was sure the path he chose was right.
If Gunadh can't give Nandita happiness, Aslan will pull Nandita's happy center closer to her.
'You made me understand what love is, Nandita. I hope what I do makes you happy.' He murmured between his heavy footsteps.
Gunadh is forced to follow Aslan's steps first to the ballroom, where the engagement takes place.
While inside there, the newly arrived Nandita, was as if stripped naked by all the pairs of eyes present there. Including his family and Aslan's family.
"Mother ...." Call her, approach the woman who gave birth to her.
"Where are you from? Make a mess!" santi's mother's ketus slightly pulled Nandita's arm.
"What's really going on? My feeling was out for a while just plain," said Nandita defending herself.
It is true, Nandita tried to act ordinary when the father said that Gunadh came but could not meet him.
His longing and anger at the man made him decide to go out to meet Gunadh.
"You know Aslan's grandmother is so protective of you. Just now he saw you rush out of the room, especially had not had time to greet guests, he became riled up himself. He asked someone to call Aslan, let's follow you right away. People do not think, why did you two come out so hastily?" Mother Santi.
"Where is Aslan now? The event already wants to start from earlier, you two use the event to say first." Ask Santi mother again looked at the door.
"He's the same as Gunadh on the outside" said Nandita slowly.
"Yes there, you meet your friends first, the host does not have guests anyway."
Nandita complied, leaving the mother and stepping towards the invited guest tables.
Not long after, Aslan came followed by Gunadh behind him.
Peria from Turkey went straight to the stage where MC used to give a speech.
Aslan was relaxed, able to melt the atmosphere and make everyone not feel tense.
"Good night everyone, thank you for being willing to come in our family's way. As per the invitation you received, today is the day of the engagement of my best friend, as well as my older sister with someone." Aslan paused his speech. Glanced at Nandita who was sitting with her co-worker.
"Yes, big sister, because she's two years older than me. Actually, I do not sincerely let the sweet girl be with others. If I could, I'd like to lock him up inside the house so as not to have a chance to meet someone who can make his heart beat fast. I want to be the only man in his life, of course other than his parents ...." Kept aslan with a bitter smile.
The girl's face suddenly tensed up, feeling that there was something strange about Aslan's words.
"How else, it turns out that love chooses its own home. If love could be directed, if love could be determined to whom, then since he came to this land, I would tell him that this is the right home for him." Aslan pointed at his chest, making the person who heard the laugh at once grimace, realizing what the man said was so deep in meaning.
Nandita's chest feels squeezed, so he has difficulty scooping oxygen. Staring in disbelief at Aslan who was currently stepping closer to him.
"Hayooo, the time has come." The man smiled softly.
Nandita shook her head, not knowing what to do.
But he was helpless when his hand was pulled by the man.
At the place where he and Aslan would exchange rings, Aslan left Nandita alone.
Not long after, Oma and onty Eby ride carrying a tray containing a tiny glass box, in which there is a pair of rings made of white gold.
The faces of the two women were difficult for Nandita to understand her expression.
The silent atmosphere further added to the tension, making Nandita's heart beat even tighter.
