Marriage of two countries. All marriages will involve an Embassy Institution entrenched in their respective countries. All submissions there before entering the data collection at the Civil Registration Institution involving also the Immigration Agency. Of course it is all done consciously, the bride and groom will take care of everything and decide who will marry in whose country.
Mass weddings are held in several countries in various parts of the world, and are followed by local brides in one country. Can a foreigner follow a mass wedding in a country? The answer of course can be. And usually the prospective married couples are from the same country.
What about from a different country? Of course you can too. Because marriage was a mutual agreement, had Leyka and Valentino known it was a mass marriage, the marriage certificate would have been taken at the African embassy. What if the marriage documents were not taken? So, the African Embassy will send to the second embassy the bride came from. Spain and Italy.
The Embassy of Africa will confirm that there has been a marriage in the country then the Embassy in question will enter their data so that their status will change. In developed countries, a system will be connected from one institution to another. No wonder they know the Identity Card for life electronically since the first computer was created.
All marriage documents must be taken by each person concerned to the Embassy, not carelessly sent or represented. A personal data in a developed country is very important, people who misuse a Personal Data will be very severe punishment. In developed countries, personal data is highly protected.
And Valentino, along with Torres and Jared, is at the Italian Embassy, where 8 years ago, his marriage certificate was sent by the Embassy of Africa. After a long mockery by the officer who searched the documents 8 years ago and took his search time, he finally got his marriage certificate. Valentino had to take out his pocket to bribe the officer who made it difficult for him. Yes, in Italy the biggest contributor of Corruption data is also there. The Mafia also controls a lot of the country which is spread in various government agencies.
Valentino sits in a park located in the area of the Embassy of Italy, the breeze brings coolness among the trees that shade it. He opened a brown envelope that looked worn and dusty. The envelope contained one map made of Jacaranda tree wood in a typical African velvet layer and once opened, two pieces of wedding documents tucked from the left side and on the right side. The two sheets show that Valentino and Leyka had legally married both Religion and State.
"8 years" he murmured.
Valentino took out the contents of the envelope slowly. She stared at the wedding letter, a picture of herself and Leyka standing in line with the smile of happiness at the time. His chest was back as tight as he saw it, his hands were trembling with the letter, his eyes were reddened and poignant again. His vision began to fog, when closed eyes, his tears down his cheeks and he immediately wiped it, his pinocion nose began to water.
"Diev, your inhaler" Jared said, noting that Valentino was beginning to have difficulty breathing.
"I'm not going to die. I felt dead for 8 years and now I am alive again! Shit!!" Torres patted Valentino on the shoulder to give support, he also did not expect that even anyone would not expect that the smartest people in the company look stupid at the moment.
"There is no lawsuit, which means that Leyka may not be married, it could be that Leyka just lives with Diego" Valentino said in a trembling tone.
"There are two possibilities, Leyka also does not know that in fact she is married or she knows but she just let it go. If he proposed marriage he would be shocked. So my gut feeling is that Leyka doesn't know anything either" Jared said enthusiastically.
"If Leyka knew about this and kept quiet. What use? Unless Leyka still loves you, Diev. But is it possible? Didn't he say he was getting married 8 years ago?" jared said again and Torres listened. The argument left him unable to think.
"It is possible not to get married and just live together, because he is unlikely to return to Palma. He even ran away from there. It could be that he knew this and he just kept quiet not contacting me. He knows my email address. But 8 years ago, the email was inactive. He just downloaded the photo I sent and disappeared - he asked for my phone number but I didn't give it. The breakup was painful at the time. Even this second I still remember his back and the clanging of his middle finger! Shit!" Valentinopun rubbed his face violently, he repeatedly sighed heavily.
"Are you not curious?" ask Jared to fish Valentino.
"What-what do you mean?" and Valentino furrowed his brows.
"You don't want to know your wife's life? Diev, you deserve his life! Don't you want revenge for making you suffer? Disorganize life! Banish lover! Isn't it exciting when you arrive as her husband?" Torres held back his laughter at Jared's heresy, only shaking his head, while Valentino began to be beset with concern.
"But-
"You're gonna let your wife sleep with her boyfriend? At least you came and made a surprise. Then divorce him, I think it's really cool" Jared said.
"Or-You have the right to take it from her lover. If you still love him" Torres said, thinking neutrally.
"Shit! How could I still love him! It won't!" valentino's rebuttal turned fierce, his freezing all this time finally froze the love that was once in his heart, to create an iceberg that is difficult to climb, his disappointment trumps the longing that is present from time to time.
"Then why can't you run away from her shadow? Why don't you want to be in a relationship with anyone? Why are you looking for a blind date with a Spanish girl? And why your date always fails" Jared's question further cornered him, with Valentino not thinking how to.
"That's because-- I'm lazy. I-I have Miu" replied Valentino accordingly.
"Until when are you going to hide from your daughter?" and Jared's questions got him tangled up. Miu is like a wound medic. All the shadows Leyka tormenting him disappeared with the presence of Miu at that time, even to this second. But lately, I don't know why his heart is always worried. There was such a strange feeling so strong, that it called out to him to think of Leyka's figure.
"Then I have to how to take care of your Passport and Visamu?" Torres spoke up again with a long sigh.
"Stay to Russia, Torres! The project was more important than that Demon Woman!'' Valentinopun pitched ketus.
"Are you sure?" tanya Torres shakes Valentino's heart.
"Shit!!" valentino's speech is confused.
"Haha.. While Leyka's there might be happier than you. Don't you want to bother him?" Jared rolled his eyes again and it bothered Valentino, his heart was beginning to hesitate. Leaving Italy for the sake of a Leyka who is now his wife, Valentino balked in his heart.
"Kazy"
"He must be happy there and happier than you - if I were you, I'd come messing with his life and divorcing him" Jared's fishing rod burned Valentino again.
"You can make your wife fall in love with you again and you can take it from her lover. But my guess is that you're going to fall in love with her" Torres said, again upsetting her pride.
"That's impossible! I'm happier and I'm more everything! I'm successful and I have Miu! He has nothing!" Valentino stood up in annoyance and walked towards the car park.
"Haha.. It could be that Leyka has everything you don't have. Have someone and have a child. Who knows, he was successful too! Make no mistake, Diev. She's a Crown Princess!" jared's taunts made it hotter. His worries slowly disappeared.
"Or he doesn't have both" Torres chirped as he stopped Valentino, staring at his marriage letter. Valentino again pulled out the envelope, a small photo album was inside and Valentino opened it. He saw his picture with Leyka during the ritual procession.
He understood now, it was all his wedding package, for that was when there was a camera aiming at him and a Compact Disk was also in the envelope. It was a video of her wedding ritual procession. Valentino the Red Velvet, choosing the most expensive package at that time, unwittingly it all included his honeymoon package in a hill. They were both photographed there, they did not expect that they were dealing with a prominent Wedding Organizer in Africa.
Valentino looked at his honeymoon spot he smiled considering how beautiful it was to make love there, every touch of Leyka, every sigh, every look dim, every scent of Leyka, every soft voice Leyka called her name, Valentino missed everything after all this time. He swallowed his saliva, his throat seemed to be dry.
"Come on Torres, where maybe women can survive alone, women need touch. Quickly, Leyka quickly forgot this friend of ours! He can't be alone! He must be happy with Diego, otherwise he might escape from Palma. But to Italy, he did not want to" Jared's insinuation made Valentino burn to hear it, like lava that continued to flow down the sea of ice, slowly melting his extinguished passion as if burning.
"Jared's! Command Manuello to Russia. And the job in Barcelona left it to me. That way, I can fulfill my Grandfather's wish. Two of them I can achieve with one hand. I don't need to leave the company, but I can also take care of Locomotive Machine. I can fulfill Old Grandpa's wish. I didn't lose my legacy and my job" Valentino said, causing Jared to roll his eyes at Torres, his lure burning his friend's spirit into flames, after he saw it dim for so long.
"Torres, take care of my stay at Barcelona-Valentino hand over the marriage certificate to Torres-Leyka Paquito Fernandez, just look! Are you happier than me? Do you still remember me? Look, I'll surprise you!" Valentinopun again continued his steady and sure step, until in the trash he threw out his inhaler, he no longer needed it. His heart rate was racing fast, his chest was getting claustrophobic but it was all just his soul that kept calling Leyka's name and kept asking.
Leyka, how are you there.. Did you miss me? Just be careful if you forget me.. Then I'll remind you of the little things.. No matter how small it is, Peach...
...-...

Hospital
"Nonno! I'll give you my answer now!" Valentino Gallardiev opened the door to the patient's room to the surprise of everyone. His grandfather is seen holding his chest by shaking his head and his father is back to putting up a war face.
"Do you want to get your grandfather to have another heart attack?!" Alfonso immediately stood up and scolded his son who was considered a delinquent, because he always defected and acted as he pleased.
"I'm going to Barcelona!" valentino said gasping for breath as he ran.
"Carino, what makes you, is willing to set your foot there. Is it because of that woman? Do you want to look for him? Or did you get word from him? Did he call you?" Rhosana put down her bowl and leaned in question after question which led directly to the Spanish girl who made her son always fail when it comes to relationships with any woman.
"Mama-Is Mama a Goddess who descended from the sky? Why did Mama guess right there" Valentinopun sat down and held his Grandpa's hand and kissed him.
"So my guess is right?"
"Mom knows I hate him so much"
"Carino, even if your mouth says it until it's foaming, but your heart doesn't" Rhosana said, ruffling her hair. Alfonso was seen sitting back with a gloomy face back with the arrival of Valentino.
"Then how are you going to give an explanation - Rhosana glanced at Alfonso by looking at his mood --si Miu that. Are you gonna take him?" asked Rhosana gently.
"Don't mention the boy in front of me!" Rhosana immediately snorted at Alfonso's loud voice.
"Padre, after all Miu---
"He's not my grandson and I'm never going to think of him as my grandson!" Alfonso cut in quickly Valentino said. While his grandfather rubbed Valentino's hair with a smile.
"Diev, are you leaving your job for Locomotive Machine?" ask Grandpa.
"Nonno I can live both, leave it to me. Give me some time to fix it" Valentino replied, getting a cynical smile from his father.
"Mama thought it had something to do with the Princess Royal" Rhosana's tone looked disappointed but Valentino needed the courage to reveal his problem. Valentino can't imagine what his family's reaction would be to find out he was doing stupidity while in South Africa.
"It could be said like that Tia (aunt) Rhosana" said Jared entering the room in the following Torres. After the Italian embassy, Valentino asked his friend to take him to the hospital. Jared and Torres had lunch first while Valentino went straight to Grandpa's room. He lost his appetite. Even his diet was so chaotic, Valentino became thin with his unkempt brew.
"Jared" muttered Valentino in annoyance.
"Do you want to see him? Listen, treat the woman gently. Lamar him directly, Carino (honey)" said Rhosana made the look of Alfonso's face changed. Jared also greeted Alfonso and Grandpa who still looked weak.
"I-I don't need to propose to him, Mama" Jared was seen holding back his laughter let alone Torres who immediately silenced his own mouth, Valentino grinned at the sight of his friend's friend.
"Then don't ask anyone! The woman who became my daughter-in-law is just a woman like your mother. The woman who thinks money isn't everything, the woman who isn't as greedy as you. Women who have class and know their degree at height but throw it away. A woman like that, who deserves to be my daughter-in-law. If you find a woman other than the Spanish girl, you can bring her in front of me. I can recognize a cunning woman even if it is covered in make-up or even when not using make-up though. Our family business, will survive if there is such a woman. And it has been proven to this day. Because greed will only destroy yourself and those around him! And that is evident, when the destruction that befell you, Diev. You were so stupid to let go of that Spanish girl, because of your greed! And look at you now!" All gripped as Alfonso spoke.
Love needs money but doesn't love need to be greedy? Valentino was getting all upset. The success he achieved but where his happiness, silent Valentino justifies Leyka.
Can you, for once, think with your heart? Stop being ambitious and see money and success is everything. Val-Happiness to me is primary, even if I eat unleavened bread even when I can't eat anything, I will remain happy.
I can't love you. Because love requires humility. Love is not arrogance. Love MUST BE SOMETHING MORE THAN COMFORT, Cake Red Velvet awaits you.
This ring I'm wearing.. Maybe I'll sell it if I want a piece of red velvet cake. May you be happy Val, I don't have enough good prayers for your success, because I believe you can achieve it
Valentino let out a long sigh, Leyka's words still ringing in his head 8 years ago, Leyka's words were so sharp and deeply rooted, it was very difficult to pull them out.
"Leyka's right, I can achieve success but I can't achieve happiness. Jared's right, I just ran and hid behind my little daughter, Miu. Padre's right, I was so greedy, that I crumbled with my greed. Mama's right, I hate Leyka only in my mouth, but my heart is full of wounds for loving her. Nonno, do I still have a chance?" when Valentino put his head on the bed by holding Grandpa's arm. His father and mother caught Valentino's remorse that so sliced their hearts. Alfonso softened later.
"Down your greed and improve your life" said his grandfather, stroking Valentino, his proud grandson, the owner of Locomotive Machine.
"Torres, how long is my Passport and residence permit?" valentino asked with his head raised. His eyes were on Torres.
"14 days, Diev" Torres replied briefly.
"Can't it be accelerated anymore?" Valentino tried to bargain.
"10 days"
"Torres can I count on you? Take money, for example. I will pay anything" Valentino said languidly.
"7 days, Diev"
"Torres
"Alright 5 days" said Torres gave up because of the insistence of Valentino, he had to rack his brain how he made everything work out within 5 days.
"Can't it be 3 days?"
"5 days, Diev"
"Torres" Valentino looks tired.
"Diev!- 5 days is not negotiable even if you are President!" Torres grunted roughly.
"You can't wait to see your lover, that noble lady?" Rhosana chuckles to see Valentino arguing with his partner.
"Mama, Leyka is not my lover and I will never propose to her" the disappointment is seen from Rhosana's face even Alfonso was furious with Valentino's words.
"Diev!" Hardik Alfonso stood up.
"Nonno, Padre, Mama,- I can't propose to her anymore. Because Leyka is MY WIFE!" valentino said with his face down.
"WHATAAA?!" Alfonso and Rhosana were even surprised and said it simultaneously.
"LEYKA IS MY WIFE! 8 years ago, while in Africa, I accidentally married her! IN A MASS WEDDING AT THE FERTILITY GODS FESTIVAL!" And Alfonso and Rhosana did not believe what he heard, the Grandfather seemed to choke until all was scattered in panic. The sisters and the Doctor finally intervened.
Grandpa, again having a heart attack, and finally Valentino in interrogation of his family. But after a while the Grandfather's room sounded boisterous due to the burst of laughter all over. Is love this stupid?
