The Struggle for Wife Love
Bag 153

Zean got some shipments from Indonesia which turned out to be wrong shipments from Tiara. He opened the package and contained some of Zean's favorite foods and their wedding invitations. Among others he saw the names of Andre and Arnold written on some of the invitations. Zean called Tiara to let her know that the package had arrived.

"Hallo Bii, my package has arrived. Some of these invitations I don't know them, how am I gonna deliver them?" Ask Zean.

"Besides Andre you've signed Arnold, it's my one-time job yesterday" I said.

"All right, are you tired of Bii? Are you sure you can solve this all by yourself? Or do we just take down the wedding? Let me help you prepare" Zean said.

"I and Dita have already completed a complicated thing, only a trivial thing has not been completed. I'll ask Richard for help if I have any difficulties. You just get your job done quickly. That way you will come home here and can see things that are not stiff like." said I who was still sleepy.

"I'm sorry I made it difficult for you, Bii, I'm going to get this over with as soon as possible. You take another break, I love you Bii." Zean ended the call.

Zean turned off the phone and put the phone on the table. One by one he opened the contents in the package that Tiara sent a week ago. There are some processed foods that he really misses and was sent by Tiara for him. Zean wasted no time warming it up and eating it. For a long time he had not tasted Indonesian cuisine and he really enjoyed it.

After the meal, he was ready to go to Arnold's place to deliver their wedding invitations. It didn't take long for Zean to get to Arnold's house, as he had already obtained a doctor's driving license he wasn't very dependent on Paul anymore. He arrives at the apartment where Arnold lives and knocks on the door. How long it took Arnold's door to open and Arnold appeared behind the door.

"It's a weekend, isn't there another day you came here early in the morning?" ask Arnold who's still sleepy.

"Did you go to the bar last night? Looks like you're enjoying your single life" Zean said as he walked in regardless of Arnold's words.

"I was invited by my friend, she's getting married next week so we had a bachelorette party for her last time. You want breakfast?" ask Arnold after Zean comes in.

"No I'm here there's something I'm going to give you" Zean said.

"Something? It doesn't seem like your usual self." Arnold said curiously.

Zean took out an invitation from his bag and placed it on the table. Arnold took the invitation and read it.

"Owh God, is this an insult to me being alone?" arnold said, rubbing his face with both hands.

"You should come, I'll introduce you to the women there. You'll be attracted by their charms." said Zean.

"No more, I still want to be alone now" Arnold said.

"As far as you are, you obviously have to be present at our wedding" Zean said.

Arnold smiled at Zean's words, he just nodded slowly while looking at the invitation.

"Do you mind if I leave this? Tiara said they were his friends when working first." said Zean.

Arnold picked up some invitations that he was familiar with.

"Yes fine, but I have to discuss with you first. Will you stay there after you get married?" arnold asked seriously.

"Tiara is still traumatized by the accident that hit us a few years ago so she decided not to go there first. And I'll come back here." explains Zean.

"When are you planning on going home?" ask Arnold again.

"My work will be done in a few days, after that I will go home. Is there a new job for me?" ask Zean.

"You're serious...?" ask Zean not to believe it.

"Yes, I'll take care of everything tomorrow and you get your work done. After that we leave, how?" proposal Arnold.

"Deal.." said Zean convinced.

They laughed together and discussed some work so they could quickly get things done. After a few hours at Arnold Zean's place, he stopped by the post office to send Andre an invitation. But Zean undoes his intention and drives back his car to the apartment Andre belongs in. When he arrived there, Andre was not at his house, Zean tried to contact him.

"Hy Ndre, I'm in front of your house. But it looks like you're no longer here" Zean called Andre.

"Yes I'm outside, what business was there until you came to my apartment?" ask Andre.

"I'd like to give Tiara a handover for you. Where can we meet?" ask Zean.

"How about we meet at the cafe in a few minutes? I'll send you the address in a message later." said Andre.

"All right, I'll be there" Zean said, ending his call.

Zean took his car and drove it to where he had promised. Shortly after that he arrived at the designated place and entered a cafe. Zean saw Andre sitting alone on a bench and he approached him.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." said Zean.

"No problem, I just arrived" said Andre.

"Just go ahead, Tiara and I are going to have a wedding. We hope you can come" Zean said, handing Andre his wedding invitation.

Andre took the invitation and read it. With a smile he read the name written on the invitation. And again his name was written only as a guest there.

"Well, I'll come, considering Tiara is my childhood friend I'll see her the day she's happy" Andre said.

"Thank you, I'm so happy to hear that" Zean said.

"But promise me you won't let her down again, Zean. I'll really take it if he gets hurt again." threatened Andre.

"Are you going to make Tiara your mistress? I heard from him that you're close to a woman right now" Zean said.

"I'll just take him, not to have him. Yes I will try to open a new leaflet with this woman" Andre explained.

"Don't forget to take her later if you come ok" Zean said.

"Of course, I won't come alone" Andre said confidently.

Zean smiles at Andre's words and begs him to leave first because he has to finish his work quickly in order to return to Indonesia to help Tiara.

After Zean died, Andre again read the invitation that was addressed to him. With a slightly sad face he tried to forget and let go of all the memories and shadows Tiara had left in his mind.
