Same Marriage as the Former
21. Wife Candidate

This morning, the sun was shining. The wind whistled the leaves as it should. The morning atmosphere was as cold as it should be. As always, the morning rhythm and heart beat of life begin, just as it is.

It became unusual, when in the morning, a male figure with a different smile appeared. Simple with just his casual clothes, but looks perfect. He stretched out his hand and exhaled his breath into the air. Looks like the most excited man started his day this morning.

"Ekhem," said someone from behind the man's body.

The man who was smiling looked up. And growing his smile, when he saw who was beating behind him.

"It turns out you really want to come" said Sakka with a smile.

"Cepet kelasin" said Echa, who Sakka had been waiting for.

Sakka sighed deeply and sat down on the garden chair that was around her.

"Sit down first. Let it be nice to explain, "Sakka's word looked at the empty place next to her, hinting Echa to sit next to her.

Echa complies and sits side by side with Sakka. With a straight forward view.

"Where do you start?" Tanya Sakka confronts herself to Echa

Surprisingly, Echa was silent. Not moving one bit. And still looking straight ahead. I was still watching the girl of his past intensely from the side. Before long, Echa sighed for a moment and said.

"You... How's it?" The ambiguous question posed by the cute but cold girl.

"Where... What's?" Sakka asked quietly as she looked at Echa closer.

"What condition are you in? It's improving?" Echa asked clearly as she turned to Sakka.

Deg.

Their beads met for a split second. Implies an inevitable longing. Echa still stared at Sakka in silence. A simple question that made Sakka smile was sumringah but also accompanied by her heartfelt gaze.

"It turns out you still care about me" the casually dressed man's statement resuscitated Echa's daydream.

"Javab aja," Ketus Echa while turning his eyes.

"As you can see, my physique is fine. But not with my heart," Sakka said grudgingly as she looked ahead.

"Nonya that," said Echa flat.

"Ehehe.i know, you don't care about me." Said Sakka and answered sharply by Echa.

"Who's Tania?" Ask Echa to divert.

"My cousin's brother," Sakka briefly, who was answered with a nod by Echa.

"You think I'm cheating." Sakka said again while looking at the girl sitting next to him.

Echa shook for a moment, then spoke again.

"Why did he send me to his show?" Ask Echa wonder.

"He wants to apologize to you and explain everything." Sakka answered still facing Echa.

Echa was silent again. I don't know, he was a lot silent in his chat with Sakka this time. Usually the girl immediately answered the cold and thin words of Sakka. However, it seems like this time Echa wants to digest all the speech that comes out of Sakka's mouth.

"Hufft.. No need, "short Echa after sighing.

"Cha" cried Sakka

"Hm?" Echa is still facing forward.

"Echa," call Sakka again.

"What?" Puffy Echa.

"Maysha!" Sakka said slightly raising her tone.

"What Sakka?" Echa finally turned to Sakka and looked at her.

"Please, with all the words I said this time," said Sakka staring at Echa.

"Ck, g-" Echa's speech is cut off by Sakka.

"Don't cut Echa first" said Sakka.

"okay!" Resign Echa, and listen carefully to Sakka's explanation.

"You can't believe me, you can't believe all the words that come out of my mouth. But please listen and believe the same explanation Ka Tania later tonight. Please give me a chance to prove everything if you just misunderstand me. So, I beg you later tonight come well," Lirih Sakka while holding Echa's hands and there's no rejection from the girl.

Long silent, Echa finally opened his voice.

"Why the hell?" Tanya Echa ambiguously, who was replied to a frown by Sakka.

"Why did you ask for that chance?" Echa answered Sakka's confusion.

Sakka smiled bitterly before answering.

"The answer is only one. Because, this affection never disappeared from my heart," Sakka softly stared at Echa deeply.

Echa stared at Sakka in silence and did not take Sakka's grip off her.

"May I ask?" Sakka's permission, which was reciprocated by raising her eyebrows by Echa.

"Is there still me in your heart, Cha?" Ask Sakka hoping.

"I can answer now." Echa lowered her head and let go of Sakka's grasp.

"Hhh... Gapapas. But you want it tonight?" Sakka sighed and smiled bitterly.

Finally Echa nodded her head, a sign of agreeing to Sakka's invitation. Sakka immediately smiled happily and reflexively hugged Echa.

"Let me pick up at half-seven." Sakka said while peeping Echa's forehead briefly. Who was replied with a small smile on Echa's lips while nodding his head.

"Is he ready?" Ask Sakka when Echa is done installing her seatbelt.

Echa just turned her head and nodded small. I don't know, since this morning until now Echa's mood seems to be good. Seen from a small smile and a red hue on his cheek that he had not shown for a long time.

As soon as the door opened, Echa was immediately nervous. Looking at the luxurious long dining table occupied by a group of Sakka families that he did not recognize and was now staring at the two of them. 

Oho! Apparently there's something Echa knows. Viona, Sakka's aunt who was visiting Sakka and accidentally met him.

"It-it's.. Is your family the only one who came?" Echa whispers to Sakka beside her.

"Yes, the official event was this afternoon. It's just a family dinner" said Sakka.

"Why was I invited to a family event?" Wonder Echa.

"You'll soon be part of my family, too" said Sakka glancing at Echa.

"But.." Echa was really nervous to death when Sakka suddenly pulled her away.

"Udah ayok." Take Sakka while pulling Echa's hand into the room.

"Good night, Echa, remember the aunt?" Said Viona greeting Echa for the first time.

"M-night aunt, E-echa inget really. Aunt Viona, right? Sakka's aunt," Reply Echa stammered as she greeted Aunt Viona.

"Yes right, you're beautiful tonight," Viona's friend.

"Emm.makasih aunty," said Echa with a small smile.

"Cha, here. I know it's my father, his name is Ivan." Sakka interrupts Echa to get acquainted with all her family.

"Hello om, greetings. Echa," said Echa, crucifying Sakka's papah.

"Greetings also know Echa," friendly papah Sakka who sits in the middle seat.

"This is my sister, her name is Clara." Sakka said pointing to a girl sitting to the right of her papa.

"Hello pretty sister," Sapa Clara waved her hand at Echa.

"Hello, you're beautiful too. Clara what class?" Echa Friendly.

"Still Junior High" said Clara, smiling with her teeth.

"This is Om Bram, her husband Aunt Viona," Sakka told a man sitting to the left of her papa.

"Hello om, Echa," said Echa.

"Om Sakka," replied Om Bram.

"Ohiya btw, Aunt Viona is her sister papah," explained Sakka who was replied by a nod by Echa.

"That's Bang Roy, her husband Ka Tania," said Sakka pointing to a man who seemed to be no different from Sakka.

"Echa," said Echa kindly.

"Sakka's sister-in-law" Roy introduced himself.

"Nah next to him, it's baby Zayn, his son Bang Roy and Ka Tania" Sakka told toddlers beside Bang Roy.

"Om Sakka I'm not a baby anymore taooo." said the 5-year-old boy.

"Yes yes you are big" said Sakka.

"Haiy.. Zayn," Sapa Echa while waving her hand and smiling kindly.

"Aloo aunty gorgeousk.." replied the boy with a five-fingered smile.

"Who's got a show where tan?" Wonder Sakka.

"Go to the toilet for a while he said," replied Aunt Viona, who was replied by a nod by Sakka.

"Mari Echa please sit down," Aunt Viona asked.

"Eh? Ohiya thanks aunt," said Echa.

Echa and Sakka sit side by side in front of Zayn, who is next to him in an empty chair, right in front of Echa. What Echa suspects is a seat for his mysterious invitee.

Tuk..

Tuk..

Tuk...

The sound of the high heels echoed on the floor of the room. A beautiful woman like a Greek goddess approached the dining table they occupied.

"Ohh.. Her name is Meysha Carollina Arabella. CEO of Mac's Company," said the woman in an intimidating tone as she sat in front of Echa.

Echa who was far away was indeed watching the woman in front of him, immediately tensed to hear the tone of the woman's speech. Is there something wrong with him?

Only this time Echa felt afraid of being bullied like this, but usually he was the one who always intimidated his opponent to win the project.

"Snack... Not that cake! Lo scares her," growled Sakka staring at the woman.

"Ahaha... Sorry-sorry, am I outrageous huh? Hi Echa, know me Tania. Who let you come here" Tania laughed while shaking hands with Echa.

"E-apm.. Hello brother, I'm Echa." Nervous Echa while smiling awkwardly.

"Heheheh.. Sorry, I'm afraid of that. Btw, you must be wondering why I let you here? Later I explained the reason well," kekeh Tania, who was replied by a nod by Echa.

"Heh cil, you've known to all who's Echa?" Tania cried to Sakka.

"Emmm.." murmured Sakka turned to Echa as if asking for an answer, which Echa replied by raising her shoulders.

Suddenly Sakka held tightly to Echa's right hand which was on the girl's thigh.

"Ekhem, everyone. Know this, this Echa..." Sakka said hanging.

"Sakka's future wife" Sakka continued, glancing at Echa.
