It is a nerve-wracking morning for Malina. But one thing it makes it bearable to Malina is because she receives an MMS from Sis Gie. It came from the private number but the picture attached with the undescriptive message is definitely from Sis Gie. In one of her weird mode style.
"Malina? Are you done yet? Need any help?" Malina glanced over her shoulder, Siti was standing at the door. Looking hesitate to enter her room.
"Huh? Oh, I'm almost done. Come in. Alex is already downstairs."
Siti gives a relieve sigh and walk closer.
"What with the long face? What's wrong?"
"Sis Gie sending me a message."
"That's a piece of good news! But what makes you so upset about it? You are not happy she sending a message to you?"
"Urghh... I am happy but at the same time I want to wring her neck too."
"Why? What did she say?"
Saying nothing, Malina just tossing her mobile phone nonchalantly toward Siti. Malina knew she has a bad aim in throwing stuff but she has strong confidence in Siti's good reflex in catching it. So she doesn't bother to look at her right side was Siti is standing when she tossed the phone. Malina continues stuffing her remaining items scattered on her bed into her "survival" backpack. The ones that have everything she can't live without.
Looking at the screen, Siti understood perfectly the reason why it so upsetting Malina.
On screen, a message from withheld number appears a picture of G-Dragon, a team leader of Big Bang. One of the top South Korean band who currently in the picture is wearing a sleeveless glittery dark green short dress with long black gloves, fishnet stocking, a pixie haircut, and red lipstick, half lying and half sitting giving a sultry pose. And the bottom of the picture is written a strange sequence of string number and letters.

Gieanne definitely on her mode of 'secrecy is everything'. Siti lay down gently the handphone next to Malina backpack.
"How many types to decode? Which level?"
"Luckily just two. Easy but troublesome."
"Don't rush. Take your time. Call me if you need anything."
"Yeah. I will. Take care Siti. And tell Ben, not to worry. I will update you guys later."
Both of them separate after giving dap before parting. No hugging and kissing since Siti doesn't like touching very much, in fact, she is very uncomfortable with it.
After this, Marshall will send Siti straight to the airport, while Malina and Alex need to register their marriage at the Civil Affairs Bureau before going to the airport.
Malina mentally checks the list she needs to bring since she doesn't know when will she will return home once she follows Alex. She checking her appearance on the mirror worrying if she looks formal enough or not in going to the Civil Affairs Bureau for formally register their marriage.
Red color chiffon loose long sleeve with round neck combined with black long pant. Her hair that currently down she quickly pulled and stylist it as a ponytail to make it look more formal. After putting mascara and lip gloss, she quickly grabs the backpack and her brand new black shoes and dashes to the main door.
Outside, Alex is leaning on the black limousine car while reading something on his BlackBerry. He looks up once he notices Malina already descended and walk straight to him. Alex straightened his body before opened the back door open and gesture Malina to enter.
Malina climbs up and the inside already occupied with two passengers. Only two seats are vacant. She moved and sit on the farthest side. Once she feels comfortable with her seat. Alex climbs in and sits next to her. She looks at two set new pair of eyes whose watching her seriously. It wasn't the same person she met yesterday!
The new guy gave her speculative looks. It's the sexy drop-dead gorgeous woman that sit closer at the right of Alex that makes her uncomfortable. This woman smell trouble in capital T.
"This is James and Louisa. Sorry, I need to settle some work stuff before we depart."
Tight-lips Alex explains the situation.
"Sure, do your work. I will just listen to music." James giving apologetic smile and when Malina glanced at Louisa. Louisa also smiles but her smile doesn't reach her eyes.
