...The Marriage of Friends...

That morning, Rizal prepared to clear his study. Then get ready to take a shower and go to campus in the first hour. After taking a shower he checked his phone first, he was shocked because there were already 5 times the new number of missed calls as well as one WhatsApp message for him.

The profile picture of a young and beautiful girl was plastered on the WhatsApp number, her smile that was so attractive. Soon Rizal opened his message. He did not expect that the message was from a cake-seller girl yesterday who he accidentally hit at the bus terminal.

Sorry new message bales mbak, yesterday I did not hold the phone at all because the work piled up. How much do I want to transfer the money to my account immediately..

Reply to the message. While waiting for his reply Rizal put on his shirt and buttoned it, but quite a long message was still not read by the girl. Because there was no answer at all, Rizal went to look for breakfast to warteg near his boarding house.

After breakfast, he immediately boarded the bus and left for his campus.

Rizal was born in Jakarta City, he lives in Yogyakarta because of his college and work affairs. From the age of 17 years Rizal always aspires to be a successful entrepreneur.

Though Rizal was the son of a wealthy family, he was the second son of a big businessman x mine named Hendra Permana, and his company was well known from all over the city there.

But Rizal is not interested in the results of his own father's wealth. He wanted to do his own hard work, without the help of his father.

In addition, because of the conflict between himself and his brother who is ambitious to hold the power of his father's company. Raffi the Great Permana, he is Rizal's brother who is a little arrogant and selfish, he always feels the most great in everything, because their Mother and grandmother are so very pampering Raffi, Raffi, so that he felt the best relied on by his father's company.

There are so many charters and awards that he won when he was in school, he always got a class champion every year.

Indeed Raffi is a genius child of his family, but unfortunately because of his genius he became very arrogant and powerful, he was very proud, which sometimes he also always demeans Rizal who only entered the top 5 champion in his school first.

Therefore, because of Rizal's dislike of his brother, after graduating high school he was determined to go to Yogyakarta City.

At a reasonable cost, he set out to use his own savings during his school first, and with only his motorcycle bought by his father first, and with only his own, he was forced to sell it and then he opened a small business little by little for his own living expenses.

Because thanks to his patience and hard work he survived for 5 years, so he was able to buy land to build his own Cafe, with the results of his small business first.

After finishing with his S1, he is now able to continue his S2 with the results of his Cafe Business with his campus friends along with the one major.

But when his business is on the rise, suddenly many new competitors who beat his business partnership. Until he had trouble and ran out of capital to continue his business back.

But when Lia suddenly comes to offer him help, he helps Rizal willingly. But Rizal promised to give it back to Lia later after his efforts advanced.

But Lia always refused Rizal's reply, because Lia only hoped Rizal would accept him as her lover only.

He just wants Rizal to accept his love. Obviously it makes Rizal not feel good. But Rizal asks for time for Lia to be patient that love cannot be forced. But love may grow with time and togetherness.

But already 6 years together, Rizal has not been a sign of falling in love with Lia, in his heart he only considers Lia as his best friend no more than that.

After finishing college, Rizal borrows his motorcycle Yogi to go to the wedding of his best friend Supri. Because he doesn't have any vehicles.

...***...

In a large building his mother, Sulastri and his sister, Tasia find Maya who is getting married that day.

Tasia saw her biological father, Frianto, already sitting on the left side of the penghulu. Father's head that looked down still could not show his face in front of his daughters and wife at that time.

Whether it was because of shame or deep regret to them.

Then slowly Maya sat down beside Sis Supri and looked at her father's face immediately she grabbed and kissed the soft back of his father's hand which was also his guardian.

He was very grateful because his father wanted to come on his wedding day. Then Dad kissed her head back and hugged her first Princess with a feeling of sadness mixed with happiness.

Tasia who at that time could not bear to see her father's face she retreated backwards and went slowly to find a quiet place. Maybe he should not see his father that his pain and disappointment with his father is still not healed. There will only be grudges that he feels.

Her father was caught cheating on her at a restaurant. When Tasia went home from school with her friends, Tasia was still in Junior High.

Regarding the heart of that time, Tasia dismantled her father's behavior who was busy joking with other women and it was not her own biological mother.

From that moment on she could not help but cry, because of her father's bad past memories, and then she ran out of the building, a little boy, many guests noticed her face wet with tears.

In a hurry, he finally accidentally hit someone who had just finished parking his motorcycle. Tasia's legs uncontrollably eventually fell on the person's lap.

"E-eehhh...!!!" they both fell to the ground.

"Sorry my mas accidentally" he said, while wiping his tears did not dare to look at the face of the person he hit.

"It's okay" he replied casually. The man immediately stood up and patted his pants that were hit by the soft ground.

Then Tasia looked down without seeing the man's face and continued her way back, and passed away leaving him.

The man remembered the girl's face.

'As ever seen' sahut in her heart.

"Well, maybe it's just my feelings" he murmured. Then he resumed his path and entered the building.

After the marriage is completed. The wedding reception begins. All the invited guests entered and queued and ate the dishes at the long table, all full of food.

Rizal came to Supri his sidekick.

"Congratulations Pri, I didn't expect you to get married to Maya, you guys are a match!" sahut Rizal smiled to congratulate his best friend.

"Yes, equally.naah you yourself when to catch up with us? This is even fun career continues??" supri Goda.

Rizal just smiled a shy smile when teased by his best friend in front of his parents, in-laws and his wife Supri, they all looked at Rizal full of questions.

After giving her best friend a wedding present, Rizal went to eat and taste the dishes there, including desserts such as ice cream and some cakes.

"Isn't this?!" Rizal was surprised when he saw one of the cakes that resembled the salesgirl. Then immediately he took some to carry the sample experiment in his Cafe with Yogi.

Tasia sat in the pensive garden chair alone, under the front tree of the building where her sister was married. While hearing the beautiful music for the bride and groom.

He then opened and wanted to play the game on his phone to eliminate his boredom.

When opening the phone, there was already one incoming message, and it was from Rizal at 7 this morning.

"Finally this guy retorted too, still got his guts too!" he's still upset.

"I work only he.." suddenly, after reading the message and then reply back to Rizal's message.

"Oh.byeh, now I love my account no. But I ask for 800 thousand yaa.." he said.

Then he sent the short message and I was long then Rizal's phone vibrated in his pocket and one message came in. He was shocked after reading it because the girl's request was greater than his expected price.

'What does he mean, is he going to blackmail me. why the price of his compensation is that much' his inner self.

Because the amount of money the girl asked for was too much for Rizal, he also intended to contact her, he then went out of the building to call the girl number of the seller. To avoid the noise he immediately looked for a place that was a bit quiet.

"Huhhe called me..??" sahut Tasia was stunned, as she continued playing the game. Then he picked up the phone quickly.

"Hallo?!" saith. "How do you want to send me the money?"

"Sorry mom, what? I don't hear much!" he shouted, because the place still sounded the strains of songs and music. Then Rizal went towards the garden of the building that looked deserted by people.

Tasia was astonished 'It looks like the sound on the phone is exactly like the sound in the wedding hall sister' she thought.

Suddenly there was a man behind him Tasia who was also on the phone and said.

"Hallo.. Is that not too much? Isn't the sale that I broke yesterday only in part. If you want to blackmail me, I hesitate to be kind to mbak!" after being near the garden tree.

Tasia at that time seemed to hear clearly Rizal's voice on the phone even as real in front of him.

"If you don't pay now, I'm not reluctant, report you to the authorities for fraud!" threaten her.

"Huh what?? A scam??" sontak Rizal was stunned.

Hearing Rizal's cry on his phone was very tight like being behind his back, Tasia immediately turned around, and behind him was already a male body figure. His posture was firm and also tall, he was also calling someone to his back to Tasia.

Tasia was curious about him, then while walking slowly Tasia approached the man and spoke.

"Well fraud." the answer is obvious.

Rizal was upset and then grumbled to himself and immediately closed the phone.

"Basar girl matre! What does it mean to ask for 800 grand? go to the police again. God, why is my fate like this now...?" his gerrick.

Tasia heard it behind her body clearly, then rushed Rizal to turn her body and was surprised to see a girl standing from earlier was watching her.

"You're Grand Rizal Permana, aren't you?" ask him to Rizal.

Rizal shrugged his head.

"Oh yeah, who did you just say matre girl?!" His mouth grumbled in annoyance.
