WEDDING DRESS WEDDING DRESS
Chapter 33
Instantly his body trembled as he stared at the figure of the woman sitting behind him.
Candra could not hide her fear.
"His Queen???"
The woman smiled looking at Candra's pale face.
Candra looked back. He saw Tini awake and was wearing a wedding dress that had been burned.
"No, you can't leave now!" Candra tries to keep the woman from going to follow Queen Nyi.
But no matter how hard he held it, Tini still stepped away from the house.
The immobile Candra could only cry over the woman's departure.
Her loud cries made Ki Santa and Zain visit the house.
"What's going on?" ask Santa
"He's gone!" exclaimed Candra while patting her chest
"Innalilahi wa innailaihi Rojiun," Ki Santa immediately approached Tini and touched her forehead.
Sure enough, now the girl's body became very cold like ice. Even his face started to pale.
He then covered Tini's face using a white cloth.
"Has he died this time?" ask Candra
Ki Santa took a small plate containing seven flowers.
He saw that the number of flowers was not reduced, but all the flowers suddenly dried up.
The man nodded. He then put the flowers in a white cloth and wrapped them.
Santa asks Zain to announce Tini's death through a loudspeaker at the Mosque.
Not long before the people came to worship. That night everyone seemed to accompany Candra waiting for the corpse.
Although Ki Santa has asked him to rest, Candra who still believes Tini is not dead continues to sit next to him while reading Yasin.
The next day after the funeral was over, Candra did not even want to leave the cemetery even though everyone had already left.
"Even though everyone thought you were dead, I somehow felt like you were still alive. Maybe it's just my silly feeling, but somehow I can't let go of you,"
Zain approached Candra and persuaded her slowly. Zain's efforts seem to bring results, Candra wants to leave the burial area with him.
#40 days after Tini's death.
Candra has started to move as usual. As a workaholic Candra did spend more time in the office, especially after Tini died.
For him work will make him forget the woman.
While Zain still works as a cleaning service at one of the hotels owned by the late Faaz.
Although Candra offers him a better job, Zain is more than happy to run the trust of Faaz who wants him to work at his hotel.
One afternoon an HRD manager faced Candra and reported about one of her troubled employees.
He asked Candra's opinion when he wanted to break the employment contract with the employee.
"If it's already detrimental to the company it's better not to extend the contract because it will harm the company" said Candra
"Okay sir" the man replied, then left the Candra room
*******
At five in the afternoon Candra rushed home. He started his car and left his office.
In the middle of the road he was forced to brake suddenly his vehicle when he saw a girl suddenly crossing without paying attention to the crowded streets.
He got out of his car and approached the woman.
"Are you okay?" ask her with a worried face
The woman immediately woke up and smiled at him.
"Thank God I'm fine, thank you for stopping the car so the cat is safe" the girl replied showing the cat in her arms to Candra.
"So you ran into the streets just to save this cat?" ask Candra not to believe it
"Wait a minute!" candra was chasing the girl.
But the sound of the car horn in the back makes Candra undo her intentions.
*Tin, tin, tin!!
"Quick the road, don't make it more jammed!" yell one of the drivers
Candra got into her car and drove away. He tried to turn his vehicle around to find the girl, but he did not find her even though he had been traveling all the way.
The next day when he arrived at the office he saw a woman waiting for him at the door of his room.
"Good morning, Mr. Candra?" greet the girl
"Morning," replied Candra looking familiar with the girl's face.
"Aren't you the cat rescue girl the other day?"
"True sir,"
"Then did you come to see me, did you ask for compensation?" ask Candra
"No" replied the girl
"Then?"
"I only asked for my father's policy to extend my employment contract. It just so happened that Mr. Manager told me why he did not renew my contract because of my less attractive performance. But to be honest, sir, I think this is my most attractive appearance. I don't dress or dress like other employees. But there's a reason why I don't wear makeup at work" she explained
"Why?" ask Candra curiously
"Because I can see supernatural beings when I wear makeup, sir?" answer the woman
"That's impossible, but I believe you. Because it is possible for certain people, especially Indigo," replied Candra
"So my employment contract can be extended right without me having to use makeup while working?"
Candra enters her study followed by the woman. The man put down his briefcase and then sat down on the sofa.
The woman continued to follow him even sitting beside him.
Candra took her phone and contacted the HRD manager.
He asked about the girl's performance to him. HRD manager said if Sarita's performance is good and is an exemplary employee.
"Only some of our customers have objected when they have to work with him because of his appearance is considered less attractive" explained the HRD Manager at the other end of the phone
Candra then turns off her phone. He then went to his desk and took a pouch from his desk drawer.
He took out a powder and lipstick from the pouch and gave it to the woman.
"Wear it!" exclaims
The woman looked terrified as she looked at the powder and lipstick before her.
"But sir." replied the woman with a frightened face.
"Just use it, I'll take responsibility if something happens to you" Candra replied
With trembling hands Sarita picked up the powder and started polishing her face. Finished with the powder, Hazel Sarita's eyeballs began to catch a black shadow standing behind Candra.
The girl pointed towards Candra, without speaking anything. The curious Candra immediately looked back. But the man found nothing.
He shrugged his shoulders and ordered Sarita to wear her lipstick.
Sarita seemed to tremble as she picked up the small red object. An impatient Candra took the lipstick and began to put it on Sarita's thin lips .
Instantly Sarita closed her eyes when she saw the sinister figure looking at her sharply.
Candra clasped the girl's fingers to calm her down.
"Now open your eyes, if you see anything tell me" said Candra
Sarita slowly opened her eyes, this time she saw the figure of a beautiful woman approaching her.
"Did you see anything?" ask Candra
The woman nodded, "There's a pretty girl in a wedding dress who always follows you" Sarita replied
