Our Story: The Sudden Chancellery
87. The Wedding

The garden located on the 7th floor was beautifully decorated. Gala and Gemma entered the garden through the door, and walked down the red carpet on the green grass that brought them before the priest and his waiting assistants.

The soft Canon in D song by a pianist and violinist sounds so romantic. The people who attended the wedding were ceaselessly smiling and happy.

“Gue goosebumps,” whispered Melly who stands right next to Marco.

The man next to him replied in the same tone, “Gue too..”.

Gemma gave Diana a bouquet of Peony flowers, the bridesmaid closest to her before following the procession with solemnity.

People who knew how difficult it was to live Gemma before this shed tears, seeing the woman finally being in the position she is in now. Each of those who witnessed that afternoon knew that Gemma was in the hands of the right person.

“I love you,” whispered Gala without a sound.

“I love you too,” reply Gemma.

The procession went well. Gemma and Gala sat on the bridal bench and took note of every word of God advice that the pastor gave them with sparkling eyes. After that, they were told to stand up, say a promise to live and exchange rings.

“You can kiss the bride,” whispered the priest while smiling gently.

Gala opened the veil Gemma was wearing and pushed it backwards. His heart raced again. This was the first time he would kiss a wife who had been legally his.

Gemma looked straight at the woman's eyes. “Mine..”.

Too happy, he no longer knows what to express.

Gemma's face glowed golden in the charming afternoon sun, just as Gala proposed to her on Pinisi's ship the other day. Natural, beautiful unmade. Too fragile to hurt and too precious to let go.

Gala went forward, a short peek at Gemma's lips gently, greeted boisterously all those who cheered and applauded happily.

Philip was no exception, who came. The man sat in the family row in a semi-formal suit, right next to Viani who was now hugging her arm while smiling at her.

“Honey, no Om Philip.”

Gala spontaneously turned her head towards Philip. They both threw smiles even though their smiles were not reciprocated at all.

Gemma's hand was greeted by Gala's close grasp. The man took the wife forward, where everyone pelted them with white rose petals. They stopped right in the last row of seats at WO's direction yesterday, before kissing again for the second time.

In the row of seats, Viani was still standing there, unmoving from her position. Seen Gemma who was so happy with Gala and immediately Viani felt that this was not the place. On the show involving the crowd, he was even the one who felt the most lonely.

In the midst of his exaggerated thoughts, a crew called out to him. “Dek, Viani.”

“Hm? Yes Bang?”

“Called ahead. Photo together.”

“Loh, right who should be photos Om same Mama?”

“Mas Gala says, there should be a Deck Viani.”

The little girl hesitated, though her body took her step following the WO crew who led her to the position where Gala and Gemma were standing and photographed.

“Vi, here,” call Gala with hand wave. “Do not go far!”

Viani walked timidly towards the side of Gala. He was really confused about what to do, because it felt awward. He immediately realized that this afternoon and evening were one hundred percent of Gala and Gemma's. He clucked at himself for being overthinking. Can't he steal Gemma's spotlight and Gala's that afternoon?

“Om, Viani is not tasty—“

“Udah, here!” Gala pulled Viani's arm into the middle where the teenager was immediately embraced by the two brides so fondly.

A ballroom that is not so big, has been decorated so fancy for a dinner event.

In accordance with the request of Gemma who wants a smaller event, Gala made it happen with a private wedding dinner one hour after the blessing of marriage. As for tomorrow afternoon, Gala held a large reception that invited the crowd, still in the same building.

In the ballroom, there are only family and relatives. It also still looks a lot because it was attended by more than 50 people including some of their close friends during High School, in addition to the bridesmaids and groomsmen, and everyone who was present at their engagement the other day.

Gemma entered the hall after getting a code from the WO crew that everyone was already there.

If everyone expected they would hear a western song for slow dance, they were wrong.

A singer took to the stage in such a sweet night gown. His tall posture, his pointed nose and his majestic soprano voice stole the attention of many people. It's Raisa!

The women were hysterical down there as the music for the song Second Time was played. While the jomlo can only bite a finger.

Gala clasped Gemma's hand and took the woman to the dance floor. Gala grabbed the left hand of Gemma's hand to put on her shoulder, while the woman's right hand she held tightly. Next to Gala's hand landed on Gemma's waist. The man began to lead the wife to move following the soft music and the soft voice of Raisa.

Although Gemma felt she was too stiff to dance, she still enjoyed her first dance with Gala. His doubts and nervousness had dissipated, and he was so immersed in sincere love, imprinted in the man's eyes.

"Why should this song?" ask Gemma.

"I know it's been a long time, but I want you to know that I'm really sorry and sorry I ever left you."

He looked at Gala, "Why should I apologize again? I never thought of that."

While putting their eyebrows together, Gala steals the kiss on Gemma's nose. "That's enough, I lost you. Hold my hand, will you? Never let go ..."

...***...

After the cake and dinner were so sumptuous, one by one, out of ten chosen people delivered speeches. Paul, Felix, Niko and a few others are done. It was time for Diana's turn. Febri, the husband helped the distended woman to stand up.

Before being able to say anything, he placed his left hand on his chest and looked at Gemma with haru.

“Gem .. Lo have become my friend from our childhood. And if there's anyone, who's happiest here besides your family, I answer that it's me. Yes. Although no one really does it either. Guenya is the one who pede.”

The audience laughed softly including Gemma and Gala who were currently holding hands and listening to Diana's speech with fluffy smiles.

“Gue has watched you from a long time ago, and it is quite a burden of life that you bear. For 15 years, I felt like I was the most useless friend because I wasn't always on your side. I am happy to pursue my dream and happy at my wedding, while lo...”

Diana couldn't say more. Febri gives him tissue so his wife can wipe away his tears.

“Gala. I'm sending my friend. He was like a brother to me. Don't hurt him, okay? If you dare to hurt him, you know what I can do?” Diana grinned.

Niko, Erika and Febri laugh together. In the middle of the dinner, Gala goosebumps and looks at his wife with an awkward smile.

Diana's martial ability still sounded terrifying in her ears. Especially when she was once pinched Diana because she broke up with Gemma. While the wife, still do not know if it ever happened.

Diana raises her glass, “Let's toast to Gala and Gemma!” everyone raised a glass filled with champagne each and drank it a little.

Everyone who was originally grieving, suddenly came to a halt when Philip was whispered to one of the WO crew.

Slowly, Philip stood up while holding his champagne glass.

Gemma started to panic.
