Missing In The Heart
Chapter 24.Party Wedding.

Rachel was sitting on a white sofa inside the private room part of the Ballroom Calister Hotel, a room that had been filled with ornamental flowers that were dominated by white Rose. The girl looks very beautiful and looks charming in an elegant white Wedding Dress.

In the room Rachel is not alone, she is accompanied by Ms. Amitha, a middle-aged woman who looks no less beautiful. He was busy tidying up the wedding hood that adorned the head of his favorite daughter.

"Tock... Geck.. Geck..."

The sound of knocking on the door rang out, Mrs Amitha got up and walked over and pulled the door handle and opened it. It was heard that he was conversing with someone then turned back towards the direction his daughter was in.

"Someone very important wants to see you."

"Who?"

"You'll know when you meet." Mrs Amitha then left Rachel alone in the room.

Not too long ago, the door opened from the outside. Long footsteps were heard approaching, until they stopped right in front of him. A very classy middle-aged man with a tall and strapping body wrapped in a suit with a type of Double breasted jet black. At the entrance waiting for four men, one looked like his personal secretary and the other three looked like his bodyguards. He swung his hand towards the four people, then the four people bowed respectfully then exited the room and closed the door tightly.

Rachel took a look at the middle-aged man's appearance, trying to recall his face. His two eyes that were glittering in Hazel color instantly reminded Rachel of Mahavir. Same eyeball but with a very different highlight. If Mahavir always shows the softness of the clear eyes of Hazel, different from the people who face him today. Highlight his eyes more resolute and cold looked intimidating.

"Mrs Rachel, Right?" Ask clarify. Rachel nodded her head.

"It turns out you've grown into a beautiful, classy woman." The compliment. "Include me Mahavir's father." Continue with the rigid Indonesian language.

Rachel lowered her head in respect.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" His permission then positioned his body sitting on the single sofa next to Rachel.

"I.. Iyya" Rachel replied with a reluctant look down at the eyes that were looking at her sharply.

"Before I congratulate you on your marriage, I'm sorry that as a single parent Mahavir didn't have time to attend your marriage."

"It's okay, thanks...." Rachel replied with a polite gesture.

Mr. James Alister looked at Rachel carefully, making Rachel a little excited. "He's a very strict and cold person....." Mahavir's words suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Do you love Mahavir?" Ask suddenly, to make Rachel's pupils widen so surprised to get such a question.

"Emmmmm.. That's......" Rachel's throat felt choked, not knowing how to answer.

"I hope that even if you don't love her yet you can understand her even a little." Speak Mr. Alister with emphasis in his words.

DEG....

Rachel's heart suddenly felt strange, she spontaneously raised her head and stared intensely at Father Mahavir.

"To be honest, I don't agree that you're married to Mahavir."

Rachel was stunned by Mr. Alister's words, her hands tightly clasping the wedding dress she was wearing.

"I'm sorry, but your son suddenly came to propose to me. He forced me to marry him. I just knew him, but I'll try."

"Don't say you will, but must!!!" Decisive Mr. Alisters.

"I don't like you! There is no reason for me to hate you, even more so because you are the son of my best friend. I just don't want to see my only son get hurt. I had arranged it many times with the Princess of my acquaintance, but she never accepted it. No matter how much I tried on her, but in her heart there was only you, she loved you so much!"

Back Rachel lowered her gaze, her mind shaking considering the words of her daddy who said she knew the Mahavir family well.

"So it turns out Mahavir's father was friendly with daddy... Is that why daddy forced me to marry?....but why did Mahavir's father say this?? How far does Mahavir know me? How did that man get crazy about me? Why is he so full of mystery?" Rachel wondered.

"I'll try! I just got to know uncle's son, so I need time to get to know uncle's son even further." Rachel ventured to speak, Still with her head down.

Mr. James Alister looked at the bowed Rachel, "Hahhh.... It is circumstances that make you like this.I just do not want Mahavir to experience as I once did. How pathetic!!! Inner Mr. Alisters.

"You can call me Dad. After all you've entered the Alister family." This time Mr. Alister's voice sounded soft.

Rachel raised her gaze then nodded slowly.

"I'm just telling you, no matter what happens in the future... Don't ever hurt his heart, don't ever intend to leave him. When that happens, I'll intervene. I'm sorry you won't see her again!!" Censured Mr Alister shut down his talk. For from the direction of the door Mahavir has revealed himself.

"It turns out Dad's here!" Said Mahavir approaching with his friendly smile.

"I'm curious to see your beautiful wife." Said Mr. Alister with a slight smile, but still with eyes that intimidate Rachel.

"My wife is really beautiful, I am lucky to marry her." Praise Mahavir in front of his wife.

But his praise did not leave his wife stunned at all, the woman was even still lowered with her still cold and slightly trembling hands hidden behind her dress.

Rachel was still silent, no longer caring about the talk of Father and son in front of her. His mind drifted far away trying to digest his in-laws words.

".... Chels....Rachel......???"

Mahavir's voice resuscitated Rachel from her daydream.

"Eh, where's your dad?" Rachel furrowed her brows, circulated her gaze then stared in confusion as there was only Mahavir before her.

Again Mahavir smiled, "What are you thinking? Even my father came out of this room you didn't notice! Are you all right?"

Mahavir then sat down next to Rachel and then held the woman's hands together.

"Today you're so pretty." Mahavir went back to praising his wife but the woman just acted flat and gave a thin smile.

Mahavir kissed the back of Rachel's hand in turn and moved his hand to grab the woman's chin, "May I kiss you?" doorways

Their eyes clashed with each other. Rachel looked into Mahavir's eyes, and the look of tenderness was in stark contrast to the way her father looked at her.

"No answer means no..."

Rachel realized, for a moment she was late and washed away in the warm gaze of Mahavir.

"You want to ruin my make-up?" Rachel asked back with a sharp glare made Mahavir smile because he was anxious to see the expression of his wife's glaring face.

"Don't be nervous like that!" mahavir said, then again grasped both hands of the woman. "where is Rachel who has always appeared confident?"

Rachel simply frowned with a bent eyebrow.

A few well-dressed hotel employees, with flowers pinned on his blazer, entered and coded Mahavir, then walked towards the wide door that connected the room to the hotel ballroom.

"Are you ready? Looks like it's time we got out."

Mahavir got up from his seat, then extended his hand before Rachel. Rachel grabbed that hand.

The door opened slowly, in front of the door waiting for some girls who were doing a pick-up dance. On the left side of the door looks Raya with a beautiful dress ala bridesmaid, while on the right side of the door there is Bryan with a very neat suit. Picked them up with a smile that spread wide.

The two of them walked in tandem, Rachel's hands coiled around Mahavir's arms, while the other hand held tightly to the beautiful lily of the valley bouquet.

With Shane Filan's song Beautiful White, they continued to step foot into the hotel's ballroom, which combines classical and modern art for a touch of interior design. It is clearly visible from the style of the ballroom is luxurious and beautiful.

The hotel's 2,700-square-meter ballroom has a separate lobby access from the hotel, able to accommodate up to 3,000 guests.

Several important guests seemed to fill the ballroom with stunning looks.

After the opening process was completed, one by one the guests walked over to Rachel and Mahavir to congratulate them.

Rachel put on a flat expression, her mind still cluttered considering the warning that had been given by Mahavir's father. Every now and then he glanced at the man standing beside him, watching him closely. So much mystery did Rachel feel from the man who looked so happy.

The extremely sensitive Mahavir realized that, he then brought his head closer to Rachel's ears. "I won't hesitate to kiss you in this place if you keep watching me like that." Mahavir said in a whisper.

"Smile.honey." Then again, and then blinked one eye.

With Rachel forced to show her fake smile, a smile that seemed cold. Until a woman he knew stood before him made Rachel's countenance change instantly.

"Mirna Boo..." Greet Rachel to the head mother of the Orphanage.

"Congratulations, dear child, may you always be lasting and quickly gifted with intelligent children" said Ms. Mirna as she extended her hand in turns to Rachel and Mahavir.

Mahavir was seen bowing his head in front of Ms Mirna, his eyes glazed over. It felt like Mahavir dropped his body hugging the woman before him, the woman who had cared for and raised him.

Ms. Mirna shook her head slowly, giving a sign that Mahavir could hold back. He patted the back of the man's hand to calm him down. Realizing the corner of Rachel's eyes that were glancing towards her, quickly Bu Mirna let go of her hand and left the two of them.

"You know Miss Mirna?" Briefcase Rachel

"Who?"

"What just now, that was.." Rachel's words were interrupted by a young woman who immediately pulled her hand.

"Honey congratulations....." Said the woman congratulating her while hugging Rachel.

"ARETHAS...!!!!" call Rachel cheerfully for meeting one of her best friends.

"Dwuh... I'd like to talk to you a lot, Rachel, but it doesn't seem like a good time." Aretha looked at the people who stood in line to shake hands behind her

Rachel nodded in understanding and smiled.

"Oh iyya, this is my fiancee!" Aretha introduced the man who was beside her. The man stretched out his hand and shook hands with Rachel briefly.

"Tomorrow we will meet other children. I'll call Raya." Aretha hugged Rachel's body.

"OK!" Rachel answered briefly. Then Aretha and her partner passed from the presence of Rachel and Mahavir.

While unnoticed by Rachel, Mahavir's facial expression changed instantly, the sound of her teeth snapping made her jaw harden. His hands clenched violently trying to hold back, even making the guest who was shaking hands with him shocked by his firm grasp of his hands while shaking hands.

Both Mata Mahavir followed the departure of Aretha and her partner. Not because of Aretha, but rather the man she was with. He knew the man, the man who was the source of the problem 10 years ago. Yes, only Mahavir is the only one who knows the depravity of that man.

"I finally found you!!! I will make a calculation with you!!" Mahavir's wrath in his heart.
