Hendrik rushes back to the hospital to bring food and look after Sumi. Although the night was getting late, but Hendrik was still eager to go to meet his idol. A few minutes later, Hendrik arrived at the hospital.
"You haven't slept?"hendrik asked after opening the door and saw Sumi sitting on the headboard of the bed.
"I've been sleeping, and I've just woken up,"he still looks pale.
"I brought you food. Look at! Maybe you like it," said Hendrik while putting the food he brought earlier on the nightstand and began to open one by one.
Although not much, eventually Sumi ate the food that Hendrik brought. And that was enough to make Hendrik happy, because at least no food entered the stomach Sumi.
"Darling, can I sleep here? I still miss you," said Hendrik while patting the side of the bed next to Sumi.
"Hum,"sahut Sumi who also still misses Hendrik.
Finally, Hendrik climbed into Sumi's bed and hugged Sumi. Sumi also returned a warm hug from Hendrik.
"Right said Rayyan. It seems very comfortable if we sleep hugging the people we love. Especially later if Miti is already legally mine. I didn't expect to have someone I loved and loved me with" Hendrik muttered in a happy heart.
Hendrik now sensed that what Rayyan said was true. Although currently he and Sumi are not a legitimate couple. But when he finds out that Sumi also loves him, Hendrik is very happy. And at this time when being able to sleep together hugging each other was calm and comfortable as said by his sister.
Unlike when he slept hugging the women who became friends sharing sweat on the bed as before. Hendrik did not find any feelings other than warm because the bodies were attached to each other. But with Sumi, Hendrik felt warm from body to heart.
"I never dreamed of getting a husband like Hendrik. I even thought about being single forever. Because I'm not sure I can find someone who loves me sincerely and will accept me as I am with all my shortcomings and my dark past" Sumi muttered in her heart.
Sumi tightly hugged Hendrik's body and submerged his face in the chest of the man's field. Comfortable and quiet. That's what Sumi feels right now. Find someone to make as a place to take shelter and can hold it with a happy feeling
Actually, the words that are often spoken by Sumi that she wants to marry a man who has all kinds of personal nature so far are not serious. Because Sumi was aware of who she was. The poor man, the former night butterfly, was uneducated and his face was not too pretty either. All that makes Sumi not sure can get a husband who is willing to accept himself as he is and also willing to accept his past that once dabbled in the dirty night world.
When Hendrik said he loved himself, Sumi did not dare to respond. Because he knows who he is and who Hendrik is. But Sumi could not lie to herself that slowly she also liked and loved Hendrik. But the difference that is too far like the sky and earth makes Sumi shut himself from Hendrik.
But if you are a soul mate, what do you say? Wherever we run to avoid, if it is a mate will definitely meet again. But if not a soul mate, no matter how strong we run to chase after him, we will never be able to own him. With a thousand and one ways to get it we will never be able to get.
The couple fell asleep in a warm, comfortable and calm heart. And this was an experience they had never felt before. A comforting feeling that calms.
The next day, the two woke up together in a smile. Clean yourself up alternately. And breakfast together full of smiles.
"Do you feel better?"ask Hendrik after they finish breakfast.
"hum. I want to go home. Last night I lied to a house guy. I said I was looking for a vegetable supplier for a restaurant and couldn't go home because of the night on the road. If I don't come home later in the afternoon, the house people will worry about me" Sumi said.
"Darling, what kind of wedding concept do you want?"asked Hendrik who last night had not had time to discuss the problem because last night was late and Sumi had to rest. So it was impossible to get Sumi to talk about anything that would put Sumi to sleep late at night.
"May, if we.. get married without having a wedding party?"tanya Sumi looked doubtful. Because considering Hendrik is a rich man who usually holds a wedding reception grandly and invites many invited guests.
"Why?"hendrik asked in surprise. Usually, a woman wants a grand wedding. Especially if you know your partner is a rich person. But, this woman he loves instead wants to get married without holding a wedding reception.
"I don't want to embarrass you. If we invite a lot of people, especially from among businessmen, I fear they will look down on you for marrying a poor, uneducated and former night butterfly like me. I don't want you to be insulted because of me,"
"Why be afraid of people's views and what do people say? The one who's going to get married is the two of us, not them. So we don't have to care about them. What matters is that we're happy,"
"Hen, please grant me this request! Please! As long as I become your legal wife, that will be enough for me. I don't want any party, "please ask Sumi expectantly.
Hendrik let out a long sigh hearing Sumi's request, "Alright if that's what you want. But, as compensation, today I want us to get married. Hows it? Do you agree?"
"Thank you!"hendrik said, then hugged Sumi.
"If you just want to be a legitimate husband and wife, and don't want to throw a party, why delay getting married? The sooner she becomes my better wife, right? That way, from tonight on and forever on, I can sleep hugging him as I please," murmured Hendrik in a heart full of smiles.
"Marrying him sooner is not a bad thing. As long as he doesn't insist on having a wedding reception, I have no problem getting married to him today either," Sumi muttered in her heart, relieved that Hendrik would grant her request.
Sumi really did not want to hold a wedding reception. For fear that Hendrik was insulted if others knew that Hendrik was married to a poor, uneducated woman and a former night butterfly like himself. Sumi does not want the heart of her loved ones to be hurt because of her. Even if one day Hendrik goes along with her, then meets with her former customers, Sumi will admit to having nothing to do with Hendrik. So that Hendrik is not humiliated people because of him.
Finally, the two got married that day. Only Rayyan, Aurora, Andi, Aiden and Roni witnessed their marriage.
"Are there no celebrations at all, sir? At least family, right! Photo together to remember memories. If it's like this, sir is married like in a local church. Or maybe like a husband secretly married to his mistress, afraid of being found out with a legitimate wife,,"cetus Andi who feels bad also if Hendrik and Sumi are legally married and become husband and wife, but there is no celebration whatsoever.
"That's exactly what Andi said. No celebration at all? What if the two families of the bride and groom get together tonight? Keep us having a roast grilling event behind Rayyan's house. Must've been fun, deh,"timpal Aiden.
"The golden opportunity is not to be missed" Aiden muttered inwardly with a meaningful smile.
"Why do I feel your smile and your face look suspicious, huh? It seems like you are planning something, "Roni muttered inwardly as he squinted one eye, when he saw the expression on his master's face seemed to be implied by something suspicious.
"Wahh. Mr. Aiden's idea was brilliant. We can roast fish, chicken, lobster, meat and also sausages in the open. Must be fun and exciting. Miss Sumi also need not fear fatigue,"sahut Andi enthusiastically.
"good too. If you do not want to hold a wedding reception, celebrating together with family is even better,"timpal Rayyan agreed with the idea of Aiden and Hendrik.
"O. o. o.."
"Plac!"
"Your brain is just eating so if the eating business must be fast," said Roni quickly without a semicolon after Andi patted his shoulder.
Sumi frowned looking at Hendrik, somewhat surprised after seeing Roni stammer.
"Roni did stutter from small," said Hendrik who seemed to understand the meaning of Sumi's gaze.
"As living beings, we need food and drink. Because eating and drinking is a basic human need to survive. Living without eating and drinking can cause malfunctions in human organs. Because food is a source of energy to run the body system optimally. Because we are not ascetics who can live without eating and drinking, "so said Andi.
"I. I.."
"Plac!"
"That's just your excuse!"cibir Roni after patting his shoulder.
"Already! It's already! Mending you guys get everything ready for tonight's show,"tandas Rayyan.
