NOT PERPETRATORS
Engagement Night

When this leg just went into the lobby, all eyes looked at me. All lowered their heads while pulling a smile line on each other's lips. What's the matter? Why the atmosphere feels different. Is it because I haven't been in for a month, so they give me that attitude and greetings?

"Morning, Ms. Imania," said one who served as a teller.

"Mother, Mother Imania."

All greet me. Makes me feel a little weird. It's not usually like that. As I walked past them, I greeted them myself first.

"Yes, morning is all, too" I replied with a smile.

"How are you, Mrs Manager," said a woman who served as customer service.

"Good."

"We're so sorry for the passing of my son."

"Thank you."

I walked back to the back office. Marvelous. The same thing happened.

"Welcome back, Mrs Manager."

"Good morning, Mom."

"How are you, Mrs Manager."

My eyes were fixed for a moment, then swept a glance towards them. "Everything is also. Thanks for the welcome."

The new Ve secretary comes, comes up to me. "Imania, are you back at work?"

"I'm bored at home."

"Let's talk in my room" he asked.

Secretary Ve entered his room. I stared around for a moment. Why is Bastian's desk empty? Usually, he was always on time to go to the office.

"What's up, Mom?" ask an office staff employee.

"Ec ... Is Bastian still working here?" my many.

"He's still working here, really, Mom. Yesterday it was in too. It's not usually that she's late coming to the office."

"Oh, yeah, already. Continue your work."

"Good, Mom."

I went into Ve's secretary's room. Then sit on the couch, next to Ve's secretary.

"How are you, Imania."

"I'm good. What about you, Brother Ve."

"Not good."

"Why?"

"I haven't apologized to Fania."

"Why don't you just talk to Fania? Come to my parents' house. After all you are Fania's mother's sister."

"I caused Arumi to die." The face of the secretary Ve turned sad. "If only I had followed him as he was driven from the village first. Of course he wouldn't suffer that much. What kind of sister am I?"

"Sir Ve, there's always an sorry door. You haven't tried talking to Fania yourself. You shouldn't be that pessimistic."

"Imania, just so you know. Why did Wibowo give me such a luxurious life? It was because of Arumi."

"What do you mean?"

I remembered the words of Mbah Mar when predicting the secretary Ve, that time ....

"You .. You have a pretty good career. However, it is not because of achievement. You're just lucky to be clinging to someone. And you also take advantage of past situations for your own opportunities." (episode 128)

I touch the shoulders of the secretary Ve. "There's still time to apologize. If you're lucky, you'll be forgiven."

"My sin is so great with Fania and Arumi. I didn't even try to find Fania back then. I'm just busy enjoying my new life" said secretary Ve.

Secretary Ve looked at me and squeezed my fingers. "Imania, help me meet with Fania" he continued.

"alright. I'll definitely help you."

"What about your marriage to Dimas? Mr. Wibowo announced your marriage to all office employees yesterday."

"Oh, deservedly, everything looks different today." I'm mangosteen.

Me and the secretary Ve talked about my wedding plans.

***

The long-awaited day has arrived. I've been wearing a beautiful peach-colored long dress. This dress is sent by Ms. Hera through package delivery services. Ms. Hera sent me a message, she said this is an imported dress from abroad. The model is very glamorous and luxurious.

"Imania, you're beautiful tonight" praised Fania, who was putting on my makeup.

I wore a matching color pashmina that was in line with the clothes I wore. My look tonight, all handled by Fania. Guess ... Fania has a talent for fashion and makeup. I saw my face in the mirror.

"I'm sure Dimas will get more and more clamps with you."

When I just finished making up, there was the sound of a car stopping in the yard. Ah, it must be them. Scroll the wall clock showing eight o'clock. They came on time.

Fania, who also appeared very beautiful tonight, led me to the front room. All eyes are looking at me. I feel ashamed because I was dressed like this for the first time. When married to Bastian mas, I was simple and ordinary, because our marriage was not so luxurious. But this time, just a proposal event, I've been dressed like I want a reception.

The high heels I wore made it quite difficult to walk. Its size is quite high makes me sometimes almost staggered. All I'm wearing is a gift from Ms. Hera.

Fania's face changed when she saw Mr. Wibowo. However, Fania tried to cover up her feelings. It was obvious from the way Fania avoided Mr. Wibowo's gaze.

After the two families got together, the event began. Mr. Wibowo explained the purpose of his family's arrival to my parents. Then the core event began. That is, the installation of engagement rings.

Me and Dimas stood up. He took out a beautiful diamond ring. Looking at me while smiling.

"You're so pretty tonight" she said.

"You too, are very handsome tonight," I said in praise.

"Eghem! When's commencement?" helena was impatient.

After looking at each other, Dimas finally said, "Will you marry me?"

"Yeah, of course," I replied as I reached out.

Dimas looked at my middle finger a little surprised. "Nia, that?"

"Nia, today I can only give you an imitation ring. But believe. Someday I will slip a gold ring on your ring finger. Wait until I graduate," said the cute and handsome man. Convening before me while tucking in a beautiful silver ring inscribed with the letter 'D'. (Episode 4)

"You still keep it?"

"I always keep it."

Dimas could hardly believe what he saw. The silver ring 'D' that decorated my middle finger was a gift ten years ago.

Dimas grabbed my ring finger and tucked the diamond ring next to the silver 'D' ring with an ever-expanding smile. The same feeling as I felt. The promise is no longer an imitation. In fact, Dimas gave me a diamond ring, not gold. Our love is indeed extraordinarily complicated, at the same time amazing, right?

I am very happy tonight. I found my heart back. The man who once gave me a sweet promise, tonight he kept it. It's not about how much love we both have. However, how far and hard our struggle to unite again. Build a meaning of a word, commonly called 'engagement'.
