Ezra was staring at the place with a pushy look when he saw the existence of the father, he did not expect that his father would come to his mother's wedding like this.
Ezra then turned his eyes away at his father's question, while Evan continued to give a warm smile to his son.
"Ezra!" call Mayra when she sees the man still glued to where he is standing. "Here, put the cake on the table." His words made the man glanced sharply.
Without saying anything, Ezra walked to the table and placed the cake he had brought onto the table.
"Please enjoy Cake, Grandma. Excuse me first" said Ezra. He quickly turned around and left the place.
Mery who was about to say something did not let out his voice when he saw Ezra's departure, as well as Endri who could only look at his granddaughter with sadness.
"Ezra, wait for me!" call Mayra while following Ezra's steps. She felt a bit of distress as she was wearing a dress. "Ezra, you want-"
"Enough, Mayra!"
Deg.
Mayra flinched in shock upon hearing Ezra's snaps, let alone the moment the man turned around and looked at her filled with anger.
"Stop. How far are you going to get from doing all this, huh?" ask Ezra sharply. Both of his hands clenched firmly restraining the anger that was within his chest. Why does that girl always interfere with her personal affairs anyway?
Mayra was silent with a fearful look, but she wanted to try to have a good talk with Ezra, as she felt sorry for seeing the man's father.
"I'm sorry, Ezra. I don't mean to interfere with your business, I just, just don't feel the heart of Evan" Mayra said honestly.
Ezra clucked irritably at Mayra's words. A man like his father does not deserve to be pitied, nor should he even be treated well.
"I never really felt how much pain you felt, Ezra. Maybe I won't be able to be you either" Mayra said softly. "But every human being has faults and sins, then we as fellow human beings must not judge them. Has God not recompensed what your father has done?" He stared at me softly.
Ezra. She did not want to talk about her father at all, let alone Mayra, the girl she liked.
Ezra then gasped in shock as Mayra suddenly held her hand making her stare at him instantly in wonder. "That's it, I don't-"
"I'm sorry if I crossed the line, Ezra. But as a friend, I don't want to see you dissolve into grief. I want to see you as happy as ever, I want to see the smile that always adorns your face. I, I cannot see the suffering you have endured in your heart." He nodded with trembling hands. Tears seemed to wet the face because they felt how painful Ezra was.
Ezra was stunned to hear Mayra's words. It was unexpected that the girl would say something that made her chest rustle violently.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Mayra said back in a sneer.
Ezra immediately pulled Mayra's hand and hugged the girl's body tightly, no matter if there were currently many pairs of eyes watching them, including Evan and his parents, abbas and his wife.
Mayra sobbed in Ezra's arms. Honestly, he also felt sad about what the man was going through. His heart ached at the sight of tears and sadness in the eyes of Ezra, even to the point of making his chest feel tight.
"No, you don't have to apologize, Mayra. I beg you not to cry," the pinta Ezra gently made Mayra's cry even stronger.
Evan and his parents, who had been standing behind Mayra, were moved by what she was doing, while Abbas and Hasna stared questioningly and did not understand.
"Please stop crying, you won't be able to take pictures with your mom if your makeup breaks" Ezra said.
Mayra's cry stopped immediately when she heard Ezra's words. He quickly broke the embrace while rubbing his face that had been wet with tears.
"yes too. My makeup must have worn off from crying" Mayra said in a hoarse voice.
"Come, come with me! You can tidy up your makeup on the back," Ezra asked. He then pulled Mayra's hand and moved away from the place towards the garden behind the house.
Evan kept staring at the departure of Ezra and Mayra with teary eyes. His heart was seethed with sorrow at the attention the girl gave to her son, while he whose father could only give grief.
"Gat!"
Evan gasped in shock upon hearing someone's call, he then turned his head towards the side where his former in-laws were already standing at that spot.
Evan immediately lowered his head before Abbas, while the man stared at him sharply.
"Good morning sir" said Evan.
Abbas nodded his head, while his wife turned to Mery and Endri who were staring warmly.
"Welcome, Buk Mery and Mr. Endri" Hasna said kindly. "Thank you for coming. Please sit down and enjoy the party." He let them sit politely.
Mery and Endri immediately agreed with Hasna's thanks. They then asked the whereabouts of Ayun at this time who turned out to be changing clothes.
Abbas remained silent and refused to talk to Evan. However, he tried not to make a fuss and was not being rude to the man. In any case, his daughter is now happy and forgets the past, although the pain must still be very intense.
After talking with Evan's parents, Hasna invited Abbas to greet the other guests. His friends had already come to that place.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Ayun and Fathir were changing clothes to welcome the guests. It is clear that the couple is feeling very awkward, especially just the two in the room.
"I-I'm going to change clothes in the bathroom" said Ayun stuttering, of course she felt embarrassed if she changed clothes in front of Fathir.
Fathir shook his head, he who was sitting on the bed got up while carrying the clothes to be worn.
"You just change here, let me change in the bathroom" Fathir said softly.
Swing nodded his head. Then put the clothes in his hand on the bed. However, he felt confused because Fathir had not gone to the bathroom and instead kept silent while looking at him.
"A-what's up, Mas? Did you change your mind and want to change here?" ask Ayun in surprise. "If so then let me do it"
"No, Swing. It's not like that" Fathir argued as he shook his head making Ayun feel even more confused. "I'm not bothered about changing clothes, I'm just thinking about our first night."
Blushes.
Ayun's face immediately reddened in embarrassment upon hearing Fathir's words. He quickly turned his face away from being able to look at the man. Why is Fathir talking about the first night like this anyway?
"Oh my God, what was my husband thinking? Why is he talking about the first night like this?"
