Chapter 6

Alika became nervous and blushed. She is suddenly turn her gaze to another direction. It was very different from Andrew and Rachel who seemed very annoyed with their intimacy at that time, until finally their intention to shake hands with the newlyweds was simply forgotten. They left the altar, away . . . as far as they could go, feels so ashamed. After that, Alika feels so relief because those creature is been leave, but at the same time she felt very happy and satisfied because she had embarrassed those two people. It's all thanks to Yustaf! Alika immediately held Yustaf's hand, she felt very indebted to him. "Thank you so much. I really didn't expect you could be that brave, really! I'm so satisfied! Haha! Anyway, after this I'll treat you dinner!" said Alika. Yustaf smiled, even though there was something he wanted to ask at that time. Alika invited Yustaf to sit beside her, that man obeyed. But something is about to starting bother him now. "Oh, Alika." Yustaf still wanting to discuss what the question in his mind. "Why?" asked Alika even though her eyes continued to look at the guests or her delegates who were busy eating. "That is ... who?" Yustaf asked. "The two people just now? He is my ex-husband and his new wife." said Alika. Yustaf nodded and then turned his face away ... silenced ... thinking about something. A few minutes ago, Alika even said that it was the time for revenge. So that's the reason why Alika wanted to get married quickly and ended up marrying him ... must be because of her annoying ex-husband. But... is it possible that Alika is doing all her revenge because she still... Love... That man? Alika's parents, who had been there for a long time, sat on the chairs at the wedding altar, whispering to each other. "Just look at Alika .... her husband is very calm. She is so lucky. Just look at how his appearance. I'm not bored at all." whispered Ratna who is wearing a white kebaya with her hair in a bun and her face with natural make-up. Rudi who heard then laughed. "Why do you say that in front of me? Are you not afraid that i would be envy? That my wife is going to admire her own daughter husband." said Rudi who was immediately pinched by Ratna. "Oh my, you even jealous for your own daughter. Remember your age. You don't have to follow the style of young people or sugar daddy thing era." replied Ratna. "Sugar daddy era? Why did you connect to sugar daddy? When i say A, you answered Z. I'm sure if you want to pee in the toilet or in the basin, you'll definitely choose the basin." said Rudi and was immediately pinched by Ratna in twice time. "But i guess its not like similar to real marriage, doesn't?" asked Ratna. "Not a real marriage what do you mean?" Rudi a little surprised. "Yes, Yustaf's parents are not around." said Ratna. "Well, both of his parents are dead, nah, that's why he was represented by his close relative. Should we discuss it again?" said Rudi. "Yes, I know. It's a shame that Yustaf has been an orphan since elementary school." said Ratna concerned. After the wedding was over, Alika, Yustaf, Albert and both of Alika's parents had changed their clothes to their casual appearances and now they had left the vacated wedding hall. "Mama and papa want to go home with Alika or Albert?" asked Alika. Ratna immediately answered to the point. "Yes, its definitely with Albert... do we must separate this newlywed?" Ratna said blinking her left eye at Rudi. Give code. "Eh, but Yustaf are you can drive?" asked Ratna. Alika look at Yustaf curiously about the answer he wanted to say. "I- i can ma'am." Yustaf said nervously. Alika feels there is a compulsion in Yustaf's words just now, does he really want to say cannot drive? "Well, let's go Albert, we are going home now. Poor Alika and Yustaf, they must want to hurry for their first night." said Ratna, who immediately come inside car with her husband, even though Alika was about to warn her for the nonsense she is saying. Alika just nodded her head to their parents. Rudi also gave a message to Alika. "Alika, if you need something. You can come to our house okay, maybe you are forget that our home is beside. Yustaf we leave Alika on you. Take care and got a happy first night." say Rudi. "Okay, Dad. Take care." Yustaf said. Alika is now walking ahead of Yustaf to the inside parking area. To be able reach the parking area, Alika and Yustaf must first pass the park that long as the footrests, filled with green grass and then there are also some towering mango trees. The cold wind sometimes brushed the leaves of the trees and became the only source of sound that could be heard clearly by their ears after the crickets. Alika staring deep at the sky and suddenly stopped her steps which Yustaf was about to hit from behind. "What's-" Before finished his word, Yustaf had stopped his word when he looked up too, looking up at the sky filled with stars. Yustaf was sure that Alika was amazed by the view of the starry sky. "Beautiful huh?" asked Alika smiling sweetly. Suddenly Yustaf remembered his childhood when he was often invited to see the stars with his mother in the yard outside the house or sometimes on the roof of the house, using a telescope. His old days and his expression when he saw the stars were exactly the same as Alika's gaze of admiration at this time. Yustaf smiled faintly. This is strange, somehow the feeling is getting to say that... Alika is an intellectual woman who is very different from other bossy women. It was as if there was an attraction in Alika that made Yustaf even more consider her as an equal to anyone. Alika... seems to be able to put herself on the same line as other people. For some reason, Yustaf was even more surprised... what was the reason his ex-husband Andrew decided to divorce this woman. "Beautiful huh?" said Alika, Yustaf smiled and quickly agreed. They focused their eyes on each other straight at the millions of stars that were presented above. This is the first time for Yustaf to enjoy the beauty of panorama like this with someone other than his mother or sister. They finally arrived at the parking area, right in front of Alika's white sports car. Yustaf, who was about to enter and sit on the steering wheel, was immediately stopped by Alika. "Wait, I'll drive." said Alika. Yustaf gasped. "What?" Yustaf asked. "Looks like you were forced to say that you can drive to win my mother's heart, right? Previously I was very grateful because you had respected my mother's feelings and kept trying to maintain your image as a good husband to me. Then, now my mother is not here, so just let me drive the car." said Alika. Yustaf startled again. Could it be... this woman was worried about him?! From the look on his face too, he looked nervous when he said it. Could it be that what he said just now really came from his heart? Alika, the top business woman this year, was unexpectedly able to put on a facial expression like that and actually worry about other people like herself? Yustaf was really surprised. "Actually..." Yustaf said with hanging sentences.
