The room was also filled with several models of dresses that had been displayed on the fashion statue.
"Are you ready for today, dear?" devian asked his wife.
Carissa looks nervous, however, this is the first business she will handle on her own. Seeing so many who are enthusiastic about his business makes Carissa a little worried.
"I'm a little nervous, honey." replied Carissa who tried to regulate her breathing to relieve her nervousness.
Devian understood what his wife felt. Devian grasped Carissa's hand and rubbed it gently.
"Calm down, honey, you can get through it. Today is the day you are waiting for, realizing one of your dreams. My wife is great." praise Devian who tried to get rid of his wife's nervousness, but his words are really honest from the heart of Devian.
Carissa felt calmer when she heard her husband's words. It is true that we need someone who accompanies us and understands us whatever the circumstances.
"Thank you to my husband." said Carissa to return the grasp of her husband.
When the reception arrived, Carissa stood before the guests who were looking forward to her presence. Among the guests were friends and companions of Carissa, Devian's business partner and some business associates of Carissa's parents and in-laws.
Carissa took a deep breath and then took it out. His eyes were fixed on the smiling Devian and gave a thumbs up to him. Instantly makes Carissa's confidence rise and starts her welcome speech.
After the celebration, the ribbon cutting as a sign of the Carissa boutique has been officially opened. Carissa accompanied Devian with her parents and in-laws cut the ribbon with scissors which were immediately greeted by boisterous applause from the people in the room.

"Rissa, congratulations. You are so cool" said Saras who was also present at the ceremony. Saras does not want to miss the important events of his best friend.
"Thank you, Ras." said Carissa then the two women hugged each other.
Shortly appeared Aninda who also congratulated Carissa, followed by Alex who also attended an important event owned by his future wife's best friend as well as the wife of the boss and also his best friend, Devian.
"I'm proud of you, Ris." said Aninda who immediately hugged Carissa did not want to lose to Saras.
"Thankyou, Nin." said Carissa to return the hug of her best friend.
Saras only snorted in annoyance, but not actual annoyance. Aninda glanced then smiled mockingly at Saras. Carissa who understood the dispute between her two best friends just chuckled while shaking her head.
The characters of the three women were indeed very different, but did not make their friendship conflicted. It is becoming more and more unique.
After the event lasted for approximately 2 hours, several invited guests alternately shook hands with Carissa to congratulate and say goodbye to the owner of the boutique.
Only his nuclear family, his two best friends and Alex are still living in the room.
"Mama and Papa are proud of you, son. Hope your business is smooth, dear." said Mama Alissa who immediately hugged her only daughter.
"Thank you, Ma Pa. All this is also thanks to you." said Carissa with a sweet smile to welcome the embrace of the woman who has given birth and raised him.
Papa Cakra stroked the top of his daughter's head and then kissed her at a glance.
"Thank you, Pa." said Carissa again who immediately embraced Papa Cakra.
The harmonious scenery made the remaining people in the room become moved. Especially Devian, he realized that his wife was loved by his parents even his own parents had started to put the same love with his wife. It does not make Devian envious, instead he is very happy because his parents have received Carissa like his own child. Devian is determined to always try to make Carissa happy and does not want to hurt his beloved wife.
"Mother and Father are proud of you too, son" said Tamara approaching her daughter-in-law followed by Adhitama.
Carissa took off her arms from her parents and hugged the beautiful and kind-hearted in-law.
"Thank you, Mother." said Carissa who was greeted with a warm embrace from her in-laws.
"Then Mother will come again tomorrow with your friends. Mommy also does not want to lose to have a beautiful dress by your daughter-in-law" said Tamara enthusiastically.
"Mother can say with Rissa which dress do you like, or want Rissa to make a special for Mommy?" tawar Carissa makes Tamara's eyes sparkle.
"Can too. But it may be next time, Mother will choose your dress ready stock first. Tomorrow Mother will come again." replied Tamara excitedly.
"But remember yes, tomorrow Mother comes here status is a buyer not your in-laws. So Mommy has to pay for it, not get your dress for free." Tamara reminded.
"But, Bun.."
"We're a family, baby. But business is business. Mommy likes your dress, and Mommy appreciates it. So Mommy does not want to make your daughter-in-law's business bankrupt just because you feel bad and want to give a free dress to Mommy." Carissa had not had time to finish her sentence, Mother Tamara had given him an ultimatum.
"That's not what Rissa meant, Mother. Precisely Rissa is happy to give a dress for Mother and also wants to be able to please Mother" said Carissa who made Tamara smile.
"With you accepting and loving your son, it has made Mommy happy, dear" said Tamara made Devian blush to hear it.
"Your mother is right, son. Business is business. We as a family should support each other, right? Let's just say Mommy is helping her daughter-in-law's business to grow rapidly" said Adhitama who agreed with his wife and then gently stroked the head of Carissa.
Carissa could not speak anymore, she would definitely lose if she had to argue and was forced to follow her in-laws' request.
Seeing her daughter's interaction with her two in-laws made Alissa and Cakra grateful. They did not choose the wrong besan and son-in-law. Besan and his son-in-law treated Carissa very well. It makes them sure that Carissa will live happily if later they can no longer accompany the only princess in the world.
Carissa's parents and also her parents-in-law had said goodbye, stay in the room was left 5 people. The workers who had participated in the event also went home after cleaning the room.
"Non, this is a flower delivery for Miss" said Marni while carrying a large flower bucket.
"Oh yes put it on that table, Ma'am" said Carissa who was busy talking to her two best friends.
"Good, Non. I say back to the contract first yes." pamit Marni after putting the flower bucket according to the instructions of her superior.
"Okay, be careful Ma'am." said Carissa who answered Marni's nod of the head.
"Who's flower bucket, Ris?" ask Saras who is the queen of kepo.
"Eitherway. Maybe from a business partner." replied Carissa as is not too concerned with such things.
"Where are your wedding preparations, Nin?" ask Carissa.
"It's all set, Ris. Stay mental." answered Aninda half whispered, afraid her future husband heard her words.
Carissa chuckled then understood what her best friend felt because she had already felt it when she was getting married to Devian.
"What about the dress? Do you like it? Or is there something I need to change?" ask Carissa to try to divert her best friend back excited.
"I like him a lot. Your dress really makes me insecure." Aninda answered making Carissa and Saras look at each other.
"You mean?" this time Saras asked out of curiosity for the purpose of Aninda's words.
"Rissa's dress is beautiful. I'm afraid it doesn't fit me to wear it. I was worried that my face could not keep up with the dress." Aninda answered honestly making Carissa gawk.
"You're this. Every woman is born beautiful with her own flaws and advantages. After all, the dress I designed is special for you and also suits your taste. Trust yourself, you will surely look stunning on your happy day." Carissa's words made Aninda aware, her best friend's words were true.
"It's only natural that you start thinking no-no ahead of your wedding. Many things suddenly make you doubt, because marriage is the longest worship and will be a field of reward for us. My advice is to pray a lot that your intentions are set straight, and to be a family that is sad and warahmah." Carissa added, making Aninda and Saras agree.
Carissa is indeed the wisest among her friends, she is able to be a good listener and advisor. Carissa is always a mediator if Aninda and Saras clash their mouths. That was why their friendship looked so harmonious.
