Bittersweet Arrangements : A Sugar Dady Affair

The day Devan and Elena had been waiting for finally arrived. Together with Dion, Devan is now in his room. Currently preparing for his second wedding. During his first marriage to Gita, it was a black suit that perfected his appearance. This time, it was the opposite, a white suit that would witness their marriage. Just waiting for a few more hours, the widower’s status that he has held for more than 11 years will soon change.

For the umpteenth time, Devan took a deep breath to try to open up his chest which felt tight. Now there are two women who are part of him. Gita and Elena. Two women from different generations who have controlled his heart. The feelings of love he had for the two women must have different levels. His love for Elena is certainly not comparable to his love for Gita, who first became queen in his heart.

“Dev, this is your happy day, so please don’t be sad anymore. Gita is already happy there. Now it’s time for you to turn over a new leaf,” said Dion with emotion. This was the moment Dion had been waiting for so long. Looking back at Devan finding his happiness.

A week before the wedding, Dion saw Devan contemplating more often than spending time with his family. Her brother also often spent time in his study instead of helping with wedding preparations. Indeed, all wedding preparations have been handed over to the well-known wedding organizer subscribed to by the Alfarizi family. But they still have a lot of things to take care of even though Ardan and Jeremy are there to handle everything.

Exactly three days ago the whole family made a pilgrimage to Gita’s grave. In front of all his family members, Devan was unable to hide his sadness. For the first time after Gita left, they saw Devan crying uncontrollably. Erick, who was used to seeing his father crying over his mother, felt satisfied because his decision to accept Elena was correct. Elena will be the one who will be able to add new color to her father’s life.

Devan looked at Dion deeply, then gave a faint smile. What Dion said. Soon he will live a new life with Elena. The young girl who had become his heart’s choice.

“Let’s go, don’t let Elena wait!” added Dion, who also smiled.

“My stomach is feeling sick. I want to pee,” Elena complained again anxiously.

“Oh my God, El. You just peed. Put on some mules too!” Nafla was annoyed, who had been accompanying Elena in the hotel room where the wedding was being held. Of course the hotel is owned by his own family.

“Come on, let’s get down quickly!” added Nafla, she couldn’t wait to see Elena and Uncle Duda’s wedding procession. Mommy’s new name for Devan since the night of their proposal.

Because she had been feeling nervous, Elena had been complaining of stomach ache and wanted to urinate. Nafla and Nindy, who had already helped Elena to go to the bathroom twice, felt annoyed themselves. In fact, Elena just stayed silent in the bathroom. Doing nothing. Luckily, Elena’s clothes were a simple kebaya so they didn’t have too much trouble helping. Only later after the wedding ceremony was over did Elena change into her wedding dress.

Elena was forced to obey. What his two cousins said was true. His stomach aches and he wants to pee must be due to the nervousness that is plaguing him at the moment. What woman wouldn’t feel nervous on her wedding day. Including Elena who couldn’t hide it. Moreover, the man who will marry her is a man of her own choice. The man she loved so much.

The sound of knocking on the door successfully made Elena’s face turn pale. Behind the door there must be someone who is about to call him to come down immediately. And Elena’s guess was 100% correct. Not long after, the bedroom door opened and Mami Layla stood there to pick him up.

“Oh my, Mommy Vanessa’s virgin girl is really beautiful,” said Layla with sparkling eyes. Layla still couldn’t believe that this super spoiled and whiny girl would soon change her status as a wife.

Elena smiled stiffly. Both his legs felt frozen to even move. Seeing Elena who wasn’t moving, Nindy then grabbed Elena’s left arm and pulled her to quickly step outside.

Outside the building Devan has just arrived with his family. Before getting out of the car, Devan seemed to be silent for a moment to calm his beating heart. Flustered? Of course nervousness took over Devan’s heart. Indeed, this is his second marriage. But the nervousness remains the same.

Devan went step by step until he arrived at the hotel ballroom with luxurious and elegant decorations. Pastel colors dominate the venue where the wedding event will take place. To be honest, Devan didn’t know anything about the concept of this event. Everything had been arranged by his friends and he just had to carry on.

Devan’s heart beat faster when his eyes caught the figure of a beautiful girl in a white kebaya not far from where he was standing. The girl was accompanied by two women wearing hijabs who were no less beautiful. Devan even got confused. Is it true that that girl is Elena? The girl he loves. I don’t know if it’s because they haven’t seen each other for a month or because the effect of the make-up makes the girl look very different.

“It’s on its way, Bro! Just look at it later!” Dion scolded Devan to immediately sit in the chair that had been prepared.

Currently the celebrant and Jeremy are sitting waiting on opposite sides of the table where the marriage contract will be solemnized. Devan sat down quickly after making sure Elena sat down first. Jeremy looked tense sitting next to the headman. Soon his best friend will officially become his father-in-law. A love story that is unique or even sounds silly. Even her white hair almost competed with the man’s. But luckily Devan followed Dion’s idea of disguising the white hair that was starting to spread across his head with black polish. There’s a bit of white hair, but it still looks striking when he’s next to a young girl like Elena.

Devan glanced at the girl next to him who had been preferring to lower her head, only then did Devan take the chair that had been provided for him. Devan’s gaze then turned to Jeremy, who looked tense sitting next to the prince. Now they sit opposite each other.

In a tense and solemn atmosphere, the marriage ceremony began. Devan’s hand accepted the prince’s handshake. Then say the vows smoothly and loudly in front of all the witnesses. God’s hamd words echoed throughout the ballroom. Then followed by reading a prayer together. It seemed that all the witnesses were lost in emotion. Especially the Cogan Club wives who seemed to be shedding tears.

Instantly Devan felt relieved. The breath that previously felt tight now feels spacious and free. Finally, Elena legally became his wife. In accordance with MC’s instructions, Devan put a ring on Elena’s ring finger. On the contrary. Only after that did Devan kiss Elena’s forehead while reciting a prayer.

But Devan’s exam wasn’t over yet because after the marriage ceremony, Elena was immediately taken back to her room to change clothes. Devan, who had wanted to talk to Elena for a moment, had to swallow his disappointment.

“The event has just started, Bro. It’s not time to go to your room yet!” said Arfan as he put his arm around Devan’s shoulder to join the others.

Devan could only chuckle in annoyance. It was useless to explain to his friends that he just wanted to talk to Elena for a moment. Which they will tease him even more aggressively. Making himself the object of their bullying.

“Congratulations, may happiness always be with you, friend!” Anton hugged Devan tightly while giving his best wishes to his friend.

“Amen. Thanks for everything,” replied Devan, moved.

Before the invited guests arrived and the reception started, Jeremy joined his friends. Jeremy’s arrival of course made them all smile in amusement.

“You guys are a really sweet pair of father-in-law and daughter-in-law, you know!” said Arfan, who was no longer able to hold his tongue from commenting.

“Call Dad-dy now!” added Bagas with great emphasis.

“Satisfy you guys laughing before I get called Grandpa,” said Jeremy casually while Devan remained silent. He was confused about what kind of response he should give because he felt amused listening to their words.

Seeing the invited guests starting to arrive, Jeremy then spoke again with a meaningful smile.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
