Our Story: The Sudden Chancellery
89. Two Cousins of Daryanta

This morning, Gemma woke up with a new atmosphere. He feels whole, full, and protected.

The man's left hand coiled around his stomach possessively. While his right arm he gave to Gemma to be a backrest.

Then he remembered how Gala had chased him, protected him from Indra's evil and defended him from the whole family who had not known him at the time, making him so moved. Tears fell on her cheeks, so Gemma loved her.

“Gemma? Why cry? Is anyone sick? I'm too rude huh?” Gala woke up when she felt Gemma's body tremble.

Gemma immediately wiped her tears and smiled at her newly awakened husband. “Ngak. I just didn't think we'd be at this point."

Gala stretched her body and faced Gemma. He caught something else. “Hm. It should be faster, right? Before the wedding, I cheated on you. But you don't want.”

Gemma fingers floated and hit Gala's sturdy chest to make a loud clap, “Ih, Not that!”

Gala laughed amusedly until Gemma's body was shaken. “I like your tease. You're funny.”

Gemma fingers go down the curve of the nose and lips so curiously. He dreamed of being with this man. He was looking for something there, to make sure everything was not a mirage.

The injury to Gala's forehead that was obtained during the accident while High School was still there, convinced him that this was indeed real.

“You still remember my wound?” ask husband.

Gemma still remembers clearly, after Bobby Aditya died, Gala experienced a severe mental breakdown. Febri even almost hit him saw his stupidity involved in an accident due to driving a vehicle recklessly. Fortunately, the one Gala hit was a tree and she was not seriously injured.

Gala reaches out her hand, grabs Gemma's right hand and taps her pinky, leading her to fall in love with her first wife. Once again the tears of Gemma fell with haru. Gala still remembered and did not forget about it.

Gala came to bring an antidote to her heartache. Do not judge Yahya's madness, and just be a good listener to Gemma.

“Don't be sad anymore. We remember all right, yeah?”

Gemma nodded in Gala's arms. He was safe, no one could bother him anymore.

At the reception, Gemma was again exhausted. Hours in uncomfortable shoes certainly also drain a lot of energy.

“People very much,” dumel Gemma who finally can sit in the chair after two hours non stop greeting and taking pictures with people he does not know.

There are a lot of people present. According to Gemma, this party is more like a night market than a reception. Less flea merchants and pirated DVDs only.

In fact, it's not that many, either. Gemma was just a little bit tired because she was tired.

In Gala's eyes again.

Various musicians under the management of Diverto, other famous musicians, actors, models, filmmakers and many entrepreneurs have sprung up there. Plus a lot of their high school friends who turned out to be invited, as well as Gala college friends while in Australia. Making the reception was like a school reunion, a musician concert, a stock meeting and a fan meeting, you name it!

Not to mention with many people who question the status of Gemma who has just divorced from Indra, and has now been edited by Gala. But the man did not want to bother, because the ones who knew their story were those who had been around Gemma and herself for a long time.

Aditya's extended family agreed to answer compactly, that Gemma has become their family without any frills. Gemma's divorce was final almost 2 months ago. So what's the question again?

“Hehe, sorry. I can't invite them, honey. They've been Diverto's colleagues since I was a baby.”

The husband had seen the uncomfortable glare on the wife's face. Fortunately, the idea of a wedding dinner was held. Otherwise, maybe Gemma will lash out.

Then there was one unexpected person suddenly present. Gemma and Gala looked at each other as the man went up on stage to greet Gemma.

Behind him appeared again a man whose physique was more or less him. Their differences are in skin color, nose shape and hair. The man behind Julian advanced first.

With a fluffy smile and dimples as deep as Gala's, she approached and embraced the groom intimately. Gemma did not deny, if this man is also good looking, only in a more rigid way.

“Congratulations, Bro. Thank you for inviting me,” said Devano Daryanta who appeared there at the personal invitation of Gala.

Gala smilingly welcomes the man, “When comes?”

“New landing this morning. Sorry my wife can't come, she's pregnant again. So I brought my cousin. This is Ju—“

“Julian, long time no see,” Gala directly cut Devano's talk. “Reacted Julian your cousin?”

“Loh, you guys know each other? One SMA is it?”

“We know, but we are different SMA.”

Julian looked a little clumsy when he looked at Gala and Gemma. “Eng... Hi?”

Gemma looked at Gala before greeting Julian, “Hai Julian. How are you doing? Long time no see you.”

“Ah, yes... After graduation, I studied in Singapore. Long time there.”

“Well, if not because elo once cheated on the guitar race first, me and Gemma will not be so,” decak Gala cynically. The problems that have ever happened between them.

Gemma touched Gala's arm then shook her head, warning the man not to get carried away with the past. They should be happy today, not upset. After all, to date, no one has been making a fuss, so their marriage did go smoothly.

“Jadi ... We have to thank you as well you should,” Gala continued in a more friendly tone. Yes indeed. If Gala hadn't made Julian jealous, maybe the two of them would never have been.

“Sori, sorry my cousin,” said Devano as he squeezed Julian's shoulder and elbowed his ribs so Julian almost laughed amusedly.

“You are yes, Yan! He was also a badboy. Even at home, he is famous the most calm. Most goodboy among the cousins of the Daryanta family. My wife was almost the same she was.”

“I am a goodboy!”

“Eh buset, so the girls you approach all end up marrying someone else? Kasiaannn ... trained heartbreak!” ledek Gala's.

“Udah three times your dong in-zonk-in chick?” Devano shook his head, “Karma tuh, Yan.”

“Damn you, Dev.”

“Hahaha.. Come photo,” invite Gala who finally melts the atmosphere.

Devano stood next to Gemma, and Julian was next to Gala. They all held their thumbs up and smiled as they faced the camera.

And still in the same pose, Devano took his cell phone and photographed the four of them, to send evidence to his wife, Alina, who was said to have an acute illness of jealousy.

“One more time, congratulations to you. I'm so happy,” Julian greets Gemma and Gala in turn. “Dan, sori make the former. I never got a chance to say sorry to you.”

“No pa-pa. Wish you all the best, Julian,” said Gemma.
