THE DESIRE OF FIRST LOVE
CHAPTERS 106. Second marriage

Billy and Alisa's wedding reception is celebrated at one of the five-star hotels in Nusa Dua, Bali.

Dian-Stefan, Chandra-Sherina, Kelvin-Natasha, and Dion-Vivian and Leon sit together. Their faces were all over the top and they had fun with Billy and Alisa's wedding.

Alisa will settle in Bali and live with Billy at Tatum Mansion. Billy promised Alisa, will be with him back to Japan every six months because Alisa's extended family has settled there.

The wedding reception went well and well. Invited local singers sing love and romantic songs to entertain invited guests.

At the top of the center of the stage is a large LCD screen that plays Shinto-style wedding ceremonies, Billy and Alisa some time ago in Japan.

Dian was amazed by the traditional Japanese bridal outfit worn by Alisa, on the big LCD screen. Even Natasha is also interested in the design and motif of traditional clothing.

Traditional Shinto-style wedding celebrations were once very popular and dominated in Japan around the beginning of the 20th century, but are now displaced by western-style white weddings in the late 1990s. Today, western style white wedding is preferred by couples in Japan because the process is not too complicated.

Therefore, Natasha is very happy to see the design of the traditional wedding dress and can be used as an inspiration in the design of her work.

"Do you like wedding dresses?" stefan asked suddenly when he saw Dian sparkling eyes on the large LCD screen.

"of course. All women love beautiful bridal attire" replied Dian.

"Which country's wedding dress do you like best?" ask Stefan seriously.

"I've seen western wedding dress design Aunty Raisa. So pretty. Kak Rina's wedding dress must be made by Aunty Raisa," replied Dian.

"You wear any wedding dress to be beautiful" Stefan said.

Dian's cheeks meet red with Stefan's compliments. Leon who was sitting right next to the two of them became goosebumps because he heard Stefan's appeal clearly.

Leon looked around. Everyone who sat at the same time with him in pairs, even Dion and Vivian were seen chatting together regardless of the others.

At this time Leon realized, himself alone is single so that the young man was determined to immediately get a girlfriend so as not to lose to Dion. Whereas all this time Leon believes himself dating faster than Dion and reality now makes Leon shocked.

"Sister Rina. There's not a single, pretty, kind, honest brother?" suddenly asked Leon.

Leon's question made all who were as cool as him, look seriously at the young man. Even Sherina squinted her eyes in surprise at Leon's question.

"There are some that fit the criteria you said, but they all have husbands. No one is single" replied Sherina.

"Ouch! Cariin dong Kak Rina's. I have to have a boyfriend this year!" leon said firmly.

"Yes, yes" replied Sherina.

Leon could feel Sherina's non-serious tone so the young man turned his attention to Vivian.

"Vi! There's no smart scientist girlfriend like you? If there is, you can get to know me" said Leon.

"I've never seen a female scientist other than Vi in Alpha Company's lab. Isn't that Fan?" ask Dian.

Dian knows Leon is lonely and alone because they all have a partner so Dian wants to help Leon.

"Yes right" replied Stefan.

Leon becomes lethargic for Stefan's answer so Sherina feels pity for his nosy little sister.

"You're young and handsome. Will find your soul mate. Patience, Leon!" sherina said wisely.

"Yes, sister Rina," replied Leon obediently.

Actually, Leon's criteria as CEO of Saputra makes many young women want to approach him. Of course with hidden intentions and not sincerely love Leon so the young man rejected them.

Leon knows Sherina's advice has a point. He was just too enthusiastic to give up single status so it could be like they all had a partner. However, now Leon has thought clearly again and let his soul mate come alone.

Stefan drove Dian home after Billy and Alisa's wedding reception was over.

"Dians. Tomorrow night I pick up at five in the afternoon at Wijaya Mansion huh," said Stefan.

Dian just remembered Stefan will take her to the wedding reception that seemed mysterious because Stefan kept the identity of who the groom and the bride.

"All right" answered Dian.

Although Dian was curious, but the young girl was patient to wait until tomorrow arrived.

***

At five o'clock in the afternoon Stefan came to the Wijaya Mansion to pick up Dian. Dian wore a simple long party dress with Sabrina's arm in light blue, while Stefan wore a light blue blazer suit.

Both of their clothes were very harmonious. Last night Stefan asked about the color of Dian's dress so he could choose the same color suit.

Moments later, a mercedes benz car stopped at one of the five-star hotels. The driver opened the car door for Stefan and Dian. The couple joined hands at the hotel ballroom where the wedding reception was held.

Dian stopped her footsteps and stared intently at the large picture frame located in front of the entrance of the ballroom.

"Rizky married again?" dian asked, when he recognized the groom in the photo was Rizky, a close friend of Stefan.

"Rizky refers to his wife" Stefan replied.

Stefan accidentally takes Dian to Rizky's second marriage with his ex-wife, to show Dian that a couple who love each other can restart a second marriage and will not repeat the mistakes in the first marriage.

While Dian recalls Rizky's divorce was unintentionally caused by her. At that time Dian retaliated Rizky by spreading a private photo of Rizky hugging and kissing friendly with a woman in the pool so that Rizky's wife sued for divorce.

Rizky's case is very different from Stefan's. Rizky's divorce was due to an affair, while her divorce from Stefan was due to misunderstandings and provocation from Gisel.

"Let's go in" Stefan asked. Dian replied with a nod of his head.

Stefan and Dian sit at one of the invited guest tables that have been neatly arranged in the hotel ballroom, after shaking hands with Rizky and Melisa, Rizky's wife first.

"Fa! Rizky and his wife had been dating for a long time before marriage?" ask Dian.

Dian did not attend Rizky's first wedding because Stefan was on foreign service at the time. Laura and Anastasia went together and did not invite Dian.

"Their marriage was arranged. Uncle Tino was close friends with Rizky's papa wife," Stefan replied honestly.

"It turns out to be betrothed," inner Dian.

Dian has a bad feeling about this second marriage. While shaking hands with Melisa, Dian could feel the woman was unhappy with her second marriage.

Dian's hunch is very precise. Suddenly there was a boisterous sound from the invited guests who were already inside the ballroom.

The pre-wedding photos that appear on the large LCD screen on stage, turn into friendly photos of Rizky with different women.

Rizky who was standing near the entrance of the ballroom and was shaking hands with the invited tami, immediately ran towards the stage with a panicked face.

"Turn off screen! Power off now!" shouting Rizky.

Rizky turned towards Melisa. Melisa was still standing in place with a calm facial expression and a pair of eyes that were staring at the LCD screen.

Melisa's calm attitude makes Rizky feel uneasy and uncomfortable. What's more when Melisa starts walking up to him.

Meanwhile, Rizky's shout made the ballroom room become quiet. The guests felt tense. They did not expect a happy event and congratulate them on giving Rizky earlier, being in vain because of the friendly photos on stage.

The thoughts of the invited guests were the same as Dian and Stefan's current thoughts. They believe Rizky's second marriage is ruined.

***

Melisa stopped right in front of Rizky and looked at her ex-husband coldly.

"Lisa! I'm indeed the breng**k man, but it's all just the past. I promise to be faithful to you forever" Rizky said in a trembling voice.

"Rizkiy! I know you asked for a referral out of fear of the threat of being dropped from the heirs of the Martin Family. I won't believe your false promise anymore. You can choose one of those women as Martin's great mistress" Melisa said in a flat tone.

Rizky stood in his place because Melisa's words were true. Rizky tries to reconcile with Melisa because of Tino's threat, but she still has a relationship with other women out there.

For several months Rizky tried to persuade Melisa and in the end her ex-wife was willing to refer back to her.

Rizky did not expect Melisa to have collected a lot of evidence of her affair and deliberately exposed it at their current wedding reception.

Melisa walks over to Rizky's father and mother. Melisa feels guilty for involving both parents who have loved her since she married Rizky.

"Dad, mom. I'm sorry Lisa made a mess tonight. I know my mom and dad love me so much, but I don't want to be hurt anymore" Melisa said.

"It's okay, Lisa!" said Tino.

Tino knew all the mistakes were on Rizky's side so she felt embarrassed if she was still facing the wall asking Melisa to refer to Rizky.

"Thank you, mom!" melisa said and hugged the two old men in turns, before leaving the hotel ballroom.

The atmosphere of the hotel ballroom became chaotic again. The guests asked for permission to leave the event, including Dian and Stefan.

***

Along the way to the Wijaya Mansion, Stefan was silent a thousand languages while holding tightly to Dian's hand.

"What's Fan?" ask Dian.

"Dian! I swear our second marriage won't end like Rizky's" Stefan replied solemnly.

Stefan was afraid that the incident had traumatized Dian and did not want to marry him again. It's possible that they're still only in dating status and Stefan doesn't want their relationship to be that limited.

"Fa! Do you like cheating like Rizky?" ask Dian.

"Of course not! I only held Gisel's hand a few times with him. There's no more connection" Stefan replied.

Stefan tried to tell Dian as clearly as possible so that the young girl was sure of the sincerity of her love.

"I believe you" said Dian.

Dian leaned her head against Stefan's chest. Stefan clenched Dian's body tightly. The feeling of panic and anxiety in Stefan's heart disappeared instantly because of Dian's words.

"Fa! We're not going to end up like Rizky and his ex-wife because I'm sure you love me so much" Dian continued.

"Thank you Dian," said Stefan and gave an old kiss on the top of Dian's head.

Stefan feels very lucky to get Dian as his life partner. Stefan promises in his little heart to be loyal to Dian forever and not follow in Rizky's footsteps.
