“No! I don't want to marry Feby!” yell Garry.
The man stood up. He walked back away from the table. Shaking his head, he looked at the people around him. A confused look he found on the faces of the invited guests. As he turned his head towards his parents, it appeared that they were looking at him with hurtful gazes.
“Garry ..”
Feby's call made Garry turn his head. He stared intently at Feby, as if the woman was the sole cause of the damage to his relationship with Stella. In fact, everyone also knows that infidelity is done by two people who are guilty, not one.
“I have never loved you and will never marry you!” jolt Garry while pointing towards Feby's face.
Feby heard it. The woman held her breath. His eyes were heating up, tears were slowly descending from the corner of his eyes. His heart was broken to pieces when he heard Garry's words. It was as if thousands of needles were piercing right in his heart, making it seem like he had forgotten how to breathe again. The person he loved so much, managed to crush his heart to ashes.
The whispers of the invited guests were heard. Some of them satirize Feby's stupidity. There are also those who look on him with pity. But, most of them stared low at the woman. To them, someone willing to be an affair is the lowest caste of mankind.
Garry looked at her. The man thought that Stella was still around there, watching what was happening to her at this moment.
“Stella, I know you're here. Out!” garry shouted like an evil man. “Stella, I love you so much! I don't love Feby. For God's sake you're the only woman I love.”
Damar who witnessed his sister being humiliated did not just shut up. He went on stage and snatched the microphone from the host.
“Sorry, once this wedding is off. Please guests out of this room!” damar said firmly.
“Huuuuh!!”
The cheers from the invited guests sounded. But Garry's shamed extended family doesn't care about him.
“Moreover what are you waiting for? Quickly disperse!” exclaim Damar because the invited guests did not also leave the hotel hall.
One by one, slowly the invited guests left the hotel hall. Now, all that's left is Garry's extended family. Stella's parents even came out of the hall because they felt that their daughter had won a victory by avenging her pain to those who had hurt her.
“Ane, did you know that Garry and Feby had cheated on Stella?” ask Yanti to her daughter-in-law.
Ane looked at her mother-in-law confused. He didn't know if he should be honest or not. He was afraid that his father-in-law would be angry and consider him a traitor.
“Jonest to us, Ane. We will not be angry with you,” said Damar who had come off the stage.
Ane sighed. “Yes, I already know,” replied Ane. “Since birthday Bella.”
Yanti covered her mouth with a palm.
The man approached Garry. Anger seemed to sparkle in his eyeballs. He looked at Garry as if Garry had just committed a sin against him.
Plaque!
A slap landed on Garry's cheek. Garry looked at his father confused. While his hand rubbed his cheek that felt hot from the slap.
“Why did Papa slap me?” ask Garry.
“You still ask why?” Deo squealing. “Not only shaming family's good name. You've also hurt Stella!”
“Pa, I can explain. I'm not—”
“Why still evasive when the evidence is clear that you are cheating, Garry?” sahut Yanti, cut off Garry's speech. “Mama disappointed in you. You know, ‘kan, if we really love Stella?”
“Ma, Pa...”
“We are very disappointed with you,” replied Deo while looking intently at his son.
“You too, Feby. Why would you hurt your best friend?” ask Yanti cynically.
“Tante, I love Garry,” great-grandson Feby.
Yanti rolled her eyeballs, then took her eyes off Feby and Garry.
Deo and Yanti do not blame Stella for this incident. Instead, they feel disappointed and angry with Garry and Feby who have hurt Stella. They loved Stella as much as their own children. They really regret the attitude of Garry who prefers to cheat.
“Fuck!” Garry shouted then out of the hotel hall.
The man ran out while calling out Stella's name. He hoped that Stella would still be there and that she could kneel down to apologize to the woman.
But, it's too late.
Currently, Stella was on a plane on the way to an island that she would make a place to calm down for a while.
Unbeknownst to Stella, on the plane there is a man who is smiling imagining the time he will spend with Stella. That man is Davin.
Davin intends to accompany Stella and tries to take the opportunity to get close to Stella.
