"Prilly..."
Prilly turned her body around when she felt her name being called.
"What's wrong?" ask Prilly.
"Ah no." Ali replied with a clumsy smile.
They are currently at the wedding reception of Papanya Prilly held in the ballroom of the Cempaka hotel.
"They look very happy huh." muttered Ali saw his father-in-law and stepmother-in-law were greeting the guest with a smile that continued to expand on his face.
Although their age is not young anymore, but they look very sesari and very suitable. Unlike the wedding of Ali and Prilly who showed a fake smile and seemed stiff. Almost like a robot.
"Yes... I wish I could be like them." said Prilly after a long silence.
"We can hold our wedding reception if you want to." said Ali, his eyes still staring straight ahead. Towards Papa and his mother-in-law.
Prilly grunts annoyed... "For what? We're getting divorced in a few days."
"Are you sure you're gonna get a divorce from me?" ask Ali.
"Very sure." replied Prilly.
"But I'm not going to divorce you, try to think again... I love you, Prilly." said Ali, now he turned his back to look at Prilly who was still staring at his papa.
"You've said it before and we're still getting a divorce" Prilly said.
"Why?"
"Don't I ever tell you that I love other men" Prilly said.
"Rendy you mean."
"Yes.."
"You're sure if you love her."
"Yes.."
"Are you also sure that Rendy loves you?"
"Why are you asking like that! Of course I'm sure that Rendy loves me." Prilly replies.
Ali let out a heavy sigh, how do I tell you that Rendy doesn't really love Prilly? Because Ali is sure Prilly will not believe his words at this time.
"Prilly... Listen to me, I love you so much and I don't want anything bad to happen to you, you haven't known Rendy for long... I beg you to pull the divorce papers, not for me but for Gwen's sake." Ali said, his hand cupped Prilly's cheeks and staring at Prilly's dim brown bead.
"You don't have to worry about me. I've known Rendy for a long time. I can't Ali, we still have to get divorced... About Gwen, I'll be able to take her if you will." said Prilly at length and left Ali speechless staring at Prilly's departure with a pushy look.
Not far from them was a man who had been watching and listening to their conversation with a slanted smile.
After a long silence, Ali moved closer to the bride.
"Welcome to your new life, papa... I'm sorry I messed up your deal." Ali shook Papa Prilly's hand a little awkwardly.
"Thank you son... It's okay, papa understands... If you do love her keep her, but if you hurt her again I will separate you" Haidar told his daughter-in-law seriously.
Don't you think that all this time he didn't know what Ali was doing to his daughter. Haidar was silent does not mean he did not know, actually he was very angry at Ali when he knew his son-in-law had been rude to his son.. But he was more angry with himself because he had forced Ali to marry his daughter.
During this time Haidar always rose blood when he heard reports from his man who informed about what happened to his daughter. And whatever Ali has done to his daughter.
Haidar once asked Ali about his daughter's news and Ali replied that his daughter was fine, even though she knew her daughter was not well. But he just wanted to test Ali said honestly know no.
At that time it felt like Haidar wanted to strangle Ali, but he could not do that because he realized his daughter was starting to put a taste in Ali.
But ever since her daughter lost her memory, she never again heard bad news about her daughter from her man.
Okay, we're back to the story.
"I'm sorry" said Ali, but he didn't know what to say.
"No need to apologize" said Haidar.
Ali smiled, which meant that he had the support of his father-in-law to play Prilly. Ali turned to her stepmother-in-law and experienced it.
"Hallo Mom.... Sorry I embarrassed you... May Mama and Papa live happily ever after." said Ali.
"Aminn, thank you." said the two.
Alika, Haidar's wife already knew Ali Prilly's husband and also their household problems because Haidar had already told her.
"Hallo's step-brother-in-law." said Julian, who had just come to join Haidar, Alika and Ali.
"Hmm.." Ali replied just cleared his throat. I don't know how lazy it feels to talk to Julian.
"You're not jealous stepbrother-in-law" Julian said.
"Jealous?" reset Ali.
"Yes... You see, your wife is laughing with another man." said Julian pointed to Prilly who was laughing with Rendy on one of the sofas provided at the place.
Ali stared in the direction Julian pointed at with a pus. It felt like he wanted to beat up Rendy right now, but he couldn't because it would only make him worse off with Prilly.
"If I were you, I would've beaten up that guy." Julian said, seeing Ali just stare at them.
"Julian don't be the stove" said Alika, Mama Julian reprimanded her son. "Don't listen to him, Ali. If you still love him, keep it.." he continued and smiled sincerely.
"What Ma is defending... Their relationship was destroyed." Julian said.
"Julian!" peekik Alika annoyed.
"It's a pity to let Julian talk about it" Haidar told Alika.
Suddenly, Alika's cheeks became pink because she blushed shyly called dear by Haidar, the man who has now become her husband. Although they were not young anymore, but still it made Alika embarrassed.
Julian patted his eel looking at his blushing mama.. "Mama kayak ABG deh." Julian scolded.
While Ali just silently watched Rendy with Prilly. As his eyes and Rendy accidentally met, Rendy looked at him with a typical oblique smile of Rendy.
From the look of his eyes looking at the interaction of Prilly and Rendy, he saw that Rendy really loved Prilly not just pretending.
Ali knows Rendy, Ali still remembers how Rendy treated her partner sincerely or not.
After seeing them together, now Ali became worried. Actually Rendy was really loving Prilly or just acting. If Rendy really loves Prilly, Ali promises not to interfere with their relationship and let them unite.
Whatever Rendy is ......
