Stains In Love
Retaliation Stella

The long-awaited wedding day has finally arrived. 

Garry and Stella's wedding ceremony was held at a famous five-star hotel in Jakarta. Luxury decorations decorate the hotel hall. From the door of the hall, rose ornaments were lined around the hall. While outside the hall, the signboard of the two brides perched there.

“Are you ready, Gar?” ask Deo, Garry's father.

Garry smiled as he tidied up his tie. “More than ready, Pa,” he replied without any hesitation.

“Mama still does not expect if Mama's youngest child will get married today,” said Yanti while wiping her tears using a handkerchief. He could not help the feeling of haru that enveloped his heart.

Garry chuckled a little, then walked over to Yanti and hugged her. The support of the family made Garry feel that her marriage to Stella would be very blessed.

“Thank you, Ma, Pa, for your blessing,” said Garry.

“Of course we will give your blessing. We have been looking forward to this moment for many years,” said Yanti.

Damar who had also come with Ane and Bella at the hotel approached his family who were still standing in front of the door of the hall. He cleared his throat, making people look at him.

“Congratulations, Gar. Finally you and Stella will get married too,” said Damar.

Garry let go of her mother's embrace, then nodded her head towards her brother.

“Thank you, Brother,” reply.

“Come, we better get in before the invited guests come,” suggested Deo.

The entire Garry family entered the party hall. Ane most recently entered, giving the code to the security officers through the gaze of her eyes if their plan could be done immediately.

As soon as everyone entered and the doors of the hall closed again, a security officer replaced the bride's nameplate with a different board. Now, there is no name Stella on the nameplate. The names are Garry and Feby.

Yeah, this isn't gonna be Stella and Garry's wedding. It was Garry and Feby's wedding. Stella has been working with the hotel on this.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Feby was staring at the box sent by Stella. The box contained a very beautiful dress. Stella said the dress had to be worn at her wedding because Stella wanted Feby to witness her wedding.

Feby himself still doubted whether he wanted to come or not. Because honestly, his heart will not be able to see the man he loves married his own best friend.

Feby's phone is shaking again. There's a call coming in from Stella. Feby also raised the call.

“Halo, Feb. Have you left?” ask Stella.

“Hello, Stella. Sorry, I don't know if I'm leaving or not. I'm afraid if—”

“Feby, what are you talking about? Can you let me get married without you coming?” stella asked, cutting off Feby's speech. “You are my only friend. Do you have any love with me?”

Feby took his breath. If Stella had pleaded like this, she had no reason to refuse anymore.

“Alright, alright. I'm gonna come. Maybe I will arrive in thirty minutes,” Feby said at last.

“Perfect! I'll ask people to pick you up, don't worry,” Stella said.

“I'll get ready first, Stella,” reply Feby.

Back to the party hall ....

The guests began to arrive. Stella's parents were also present. Garry and his family were not suspicious of anything. Everything seemed normal to him until Garry realized that the gaze of the invited guests was very strange. However, Garry chose to ignore him and thought that he was just nervous, so people's gazes felt strange for him.

“Pak, the bride is coming soon. You better sit in the front seat of the penghulu first,” said a woman who is none other than the host of her wedding with Stella.

Garry nodded, then sat down on the brides chair with his back to the door of the hall.

The door of the hall is open. Feby came in a beautiful dress. Everyone's eyes were fixed on him, making Feby feel even more nervous. Feby was confused by the people's gazes at him. Is there something wrong with his appearance? Why was he stared at like this?

The wedding host approached Feby. He took Feby in his arms, directing Feby to the table. Afterwards, he sat Feby next to Garry.

It was at this moment that Garry and Feby began to realize what was happening. Not only them, the Garry family was also surprised to see him.

“Pak Garry, it looks like we can start now,” said the penghulu.

Garry looked at the bewildered penghulu. “What does all this mean?” garry asked with a high tone of voice.

“The bride is complete. Isn't it time to start?” The leader asked back.

Garry and Feby are confused to hear this.

“Stella has not arrived yet,” reply Garry in an annoyed tone.

“Who is Stella?”

The patron, the host, and the people who took care of the wedding were confused when Garry mentioned the name Stella because they knew, the name of the wedding bride was Feby, not Stella.

The marriage manager gives the data he has about the marriage that will take place. That's where Garry and his family were surprised because in the data mentioned if Garry would marry Feby.

Garry looked around. The screen that was supposed to display her pre-wedding photos with Stella actually displayed the photos with Feby's face as her partner, not Stella's face.

Garry's head was circling. Questions stuck in his head.

“What really happened? Where is Stella?” garry asked as he kicked down his dead table.

Amidst the confusion of the people, the screen again displays photos of the togetherness of Garry and Feby that so far no one knows. All the cynical gazes were more and more on Garry and Feby, especially after the photos were followed by a video of them during intercourse. The video is blurred, of course. But, everyone could hear if it was their voice. The voice of Garry and Febby's betrayal behind Stella all along.

“What the fuck? Turn off the video!” garry shouted in panic, just as Feby felt his world was destroyed after it was revealed.

They did not know who recorded the video and when it was taken. Clearly, they felt that destruction was waiting for him.

After the video is finished playing, the screen turns black. A few seconds later, Stella's voice was heard.

“Garry, Feby, you know how much I love and trust you. You have become two very important people in my life. I love Garry so much and I love me as much as I love Ane's sister. What is my fault with you guys so much that you can hurt me like this? I'm really disappointed in what you've been doing behind my back all this time. For almost a year you played behind my back, laughing at my sincere stupidity at you. I trust you guys so much. But, why are you guys with her braces stabbing me in the back and destroying my trust?” ask Stella.

Garry and Feby look at each other, then swallow the saliva. They did not expect that their affair had long been smelled by Stella.

“Om Deo, Aunt Yanti, sorry I have to do this. I'm sorry I let you guys down. Believe me, I love you very much and am very happy to be your future daughter-in-law, but all that is only as a candidate, because your real daughter-in-law is Feby. I'm sorry, I just want to avenge my pain for the two people I trust the most. I want everyone to know what they have done to me, this stupid girl who has been betrayed,”, Stella said, followed by her sobs that sounded bitter.

Everyone looked at Garry and Feby. They did not expect that they would be presented with a big scandal at Garry's wedding.

“Congratulations, Garry, Feby. Now you don't have to hide anymore because everyone knows about your relationship and you can get married this very second,” Stella said, ending her sentence.

"No! I'm not going to marry her. I just love you, Stella!" garry shouted hoping Stella would hear it.

"Stella, where are you?"
