Tonight is the wedding reception between Zion and Faith. Again everyone gathered. Even so, there are always topics that can be discussed to make the atmosphere again melt. Although it was clearly only two weeks ago that they got together.
Among the invited guests present, there was a table that now stole the attention of many people. How not? At the table were two parents who met each other and intended to match their child. They are Zean and Letty. For a moment they remind each other of their glory days when they were young. Even so proud Zean had laughed at Letty when the woman was successful he defeated.
"You haven't changed Letty. Your way of speaking is still the same as before. Even the way you sit is the same. You can never be a feminine woman. I can imagine how your daughter is right now. I'm sure almost 85% of him copied your nature when you were young."
"You're right Zean. Elyna imitated my bad nature. But he does not imitate my good nature. And this makes me a little dizzy. That's why I intend to marry her. I'll find him a mate. Because after I think about it, if you wait for Elyna to meet her own soul mate, maybe wait for me to die she won't get married." Letty sipped another drink in front of her because her throat was dry when most of the talk.
Zean laughed amusedly at Letty's explanation. The man also gulped down the red drink that was in front of him before continuing his chatter along with Letty. Until now Zean himself still does not know that the only daughter Letty had attacked the residence of his son Dominic. Everyone has promised to keep this matter a secret from Zean. Because for them the problem has been resolved and does not need to be discussed again.
"Then did you get the right candidate for your daughter?" ask Zean to know.
"Yet. That's why I'm meeting you. Don't you have a boy who hasn't been menika? How about we just make a match?" tawar Letty was full of passion. He felt sure that Zean would agree with this idea.
Zean was stunned to hear Letty's offer. It's not that she disagrees if Dominic marries Princess Letty. But today Zean has just grieved over having to let his daughter marry Zion and go from her to live with Zion. Zean is not ready if Dominic should also do the same in the near future as well.
Letty became worried seeing Jean's expression that night. "Why are you quiet? Have you found the right potential daughter-in-law to marry your son? If it's like that, I can't force you anymore. It seems like our child is not a match," said Letty without the slightest revenge. "I'm also not carelessly inviting you to meet like this. I met Leona before. We had a conversation at that time. Leona told me that you asked her to find a mate for your son Dominic. So I took the initiative to offer my daughter. Yes, I can admit that my daughter is very unruly. But I'm sure after marriage she'll definitely change. I will continue to accompany her and teach her to be a good wife to your son." Although not yet know what Zean's decision, but Letty is trying to offer the benefits that will be obtained by Son Zean later.
"I don't mind the nature of your daughter at all. Everyone has a chance to change, including your daughter." Zean caught his breath and looked at Letty again. He doesn't want to let Letty down. "Look, in the near future we set the meeting again. I'll take Dominic and you can take your daughter. For the first stage, we will bring them together first before we match them later. Once they meet and get to know each other, we can make a decision. I hope they can fit in at first sight." Zean was convinced that this was a very profitable idea for both of them.
"A good idea. I agree" Letty said with a smile. It just so happened that Elyna was not present at Zion and Faith's wedding. So the woman had no idea what her birth mother was talking about.
Unlike Dominic who now looks at Zean's face with a meaningful gaze. Not hearing the story alone has made Dominic have a bad premonition. He knew that what his biological father was talking about must have something to do with him.
"I didn't expect that Papa turned out to be that close to the real mother of the brandal woman named Elyna. About what are they talking about? Why do they both look so excited. There's no way Aunt Letty's going to re-discuss the Las Vegas attack because Aunt Leona herself decided to keep the matter a secret from me."
Dominic was shocked when Austin patted him on the shoulder. "Why are you standing here alone? We gathered there. Come with us." Without waiting for Dominic's approval, he immediately embraces the man and takes him to join the others. Dominic himself does not want much protest because now the man who embraces him is his family as well.
Zion and Faith had just appeared in a red wedding dress while Zion was wearing a black suit. They both looked very good that night. Faith's matchless beauty makes all female guests envious.
"Why are they all looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with my appearance?" faith, who looked nervous at the time. To the extent that his hands were cold and Zion could feel it clearly.
"They look at you because they admire your beauty. Actually they want to be in your position, but they can't" Zion said. Though what actually happened the man had absolutely no idea why everyone was looking towards the two of them at this moment.
"really?" faith asked as he looked towards Zion.
"Forget about the invited guest. Now we have to meet our family there. I want this show to end soon."
Hearing the words spoken by Zion made Faith shame. The woman could not imagine how their first night would be.
"Sir Zion!" yell Norah and Daisy together. Faith and Zion, who had wanted to step into the middle of the room to cut the wedding cake, had to hold their footsteps.
"What are you guys doing? Why are you yelling like that!" zion's protests don't like it.
"Sister, let's dance" Norah asked.
"Sir Zion must dance with me first!" Daisy doesn't want to lose.
"You guys! I don't wanna dance with you guys. Now I have a wife. I'll dance with my wife" Zion refused.
"Well, Brother Zion. Why is it like that?" the two women said disappointedly. Faith who could not bear to directly persuade Zion to want to dance with Norah and Daisy alternately. "I'll be waiting for you here. Dance with Norah and Daisy.
"Sister, the time is not now either. The dance will start after Brother and Sister Zion cut the cake and give a welcome to the invited guests. We came here just fighting. Actually who will be chosen by Brother Zion to dance first with him. I'm sure that I'm the one that Brother Zion will choose because I'm her first brother." Norah looked very confident.
"It can't be like that! As the last sister of course I have to get special treatment!" sahut Daisy will not lose.
Faith laughed amusedly at the behavior of her sister-in-law. "You guys only have one sister, why would you have to fight like this. How could Brother Zion have to choose between the two of you. Both of you are part of his life. If Brother Zion chooses one of you, it means his life will be imperfect. Because of your presence in this world to perfect a Zion Zein as a big brother."
The words spoken by Faith made Zion touched. The man did not expect that Faith's thinking could go that far. "He became more mature after marriage."
"Now you know that I won't be able to choose. So to be fair, I'll dance with my wife and you two dance with your partner. Don't bother me anymore."
Zion immediately takes Faith away to the center of the party. They'll cut the cake there soon. Norah and Daisy looked at each other. Even so, the two women seem to love each other.
"I'm also gonna go find Foster. Before the dance starts, I should've been with him. Looks like Brother Zion showed no sign of dancing with us. Instead of being disappointed, we better make a backup plan" said Daisy gave a solution.
Norah agreed. "You're right."
In the middle of the room Zion and Faith are now surrounded by invited guests. They cut the wedding cake and feed each other. That night Zion and Faith looked very happy. It felt like this world only belonged to the two of them because their hearts were too flowery.
"Am I dreaming? If I'm dreaming, I don't want to wake up. Because this dream is too beautiful" said Faith with a shy smile.
"You're not dreaming. It's all real. We are married" Zion replied to convince Faith.
"Oh yes, I read Brother Zion's letter. Her words are so sweet and so romantic. Why is it all in the mail. I also want Brother Zion to call me with romantic words."
"really?" asked Zion excitedly.
Faith agreed. "Try saying it now. I wonder how I feel when I listen to it."
Zion set her position on her feet. Before saying that the man re-arranged his breathing to calm down. He held onto both of Faith's hands and looked at the woman lovingly. "Dear, I love you."
Faith was immediately embarrassed. It felt as if both of his legs were no longer on the floor. He flew too far away because he was so happy. "That's too sweet. Thank you, dear" replied Faith. Until finally the change made Zion the wrong behavior.
Suddenly the lamp was made to be dim. The dance will begin. All the guests called their respective spouses. As an opening, the newlyweds are welcome to dance first.
"Are you ready to dance with me?" ask Zion. Faith replied with a nod. The woman placed her hand next to Zion's neck and then smiled sweetly. Zion herself placed her hand on Faith's waist. The two of them danced to the song they heard.
After 5 minutes of dancing finally all the invited guests are welcome to dance too. That night's dance was very romantic. All the guests look happy.
But among the invited guests present was a woman who was now silent while thinking of something. It was Shabira.
Suddenly the woman remembered the dance when she was young. Everyone is young and looks very happy. Including himself. Shabira still did not expect that time was going so fast. At the end of the day, he began to feel alone.
Kenzo who noticed the change in his wife's attitude immediately held the woman's hand. He knows that Shabira always turns sensitive whenever they are reminded of the things they did when they were young. Especially if those things are related to Serena.
"Dear, do you want to dance with me? I'll hold your body from falling" Kenzo bargained. That was all he could do so that his wife would not be sad anymore.
Shabira shook her head in disagreement. It seems that at her age she doesn't want to dance anymore. "After this I would like to visit the graves of Brother Erena and Sister Emelie. Suddenly I miss him."
Kenzo agreed. "All right, but promise me tonight you'll have to smile happily. No more tears. I can't see you sad."
"I'm not really sad. I'm just not feeling well" Shabira lied so Kenzo wouldn't worry about her. But even though Shabira lied, Kenzo still knew that his wife was lying.
"The party will be over soon. We can go back to the room right now if you're not feeling well" Kenzo said.
"Don't! I'm not good with Leona. I'm here in lieu of Serena. Leona no longer has a mother nor does Zion have an Oma anymore."
"Then don't be sad. They will all think strangely of seeing you grieve like this."
Shabira. The woman tried to smile sweetly. "How now? Do I look like a happy person?"
Kenzo shook his head. "The smile seemed so forced. Try it again. Must be accompanied by a feeling so that your smile does not look stiff."
Suddenly, Opa Zen sat on one of the chairs at the table. Kenzo and Shabira both looked towards Opa Zen. They both set their facial expressions. The two of them did not want to until Opa Zen found out that Shabira had just been sad because she missed Serena.
"Have you eaten? Lookatthis. The food at Zion and Faith's party was delicious. Try to eat this food. This cake does not contain sugar. So it's perfect to be eaten by an old man like a big brother" Shabira said, offering one of the cakes on the table.
"Wouldn't this atmosphere be so complete if Emelie, Serena and Daniel were here too."
Zeroun's words make Shabira and Kenzo look at each other. "They're here too. But their form is invisible because they are only in our hearts" Shabira replied with a bow.
Opa Zen just smiled as he looked the other way. In her imagination, Emelie and Serena were joking at one of the tables in the room. The sight made Zeroun again smile warmly.
"I miss you" Zeroun murmured inwardly.
