7:30 p.m. Sekar and Brahma will soon be out of the hotel room to just take a walk looking for dinner. The two of them planned to eat rabbit satay near the hotel where they were staying.
That smile was very clearly visible on Sekar's face at that time. She always enjoyed spending time with Brahma, her husband. The smile that is emitted is like the moon on a beautiful night. The night sky looks very sparse which is sprinkled with several stars that form a constellation.
Sekar and Brahma look like a pair of people who love each other. The two of them look very compatible. It even made some people around him stare at the two of them making out.
"Let's just buy rabbit satay there! My friend said the rabbit satay over there was really delicious!" said Sekar looking at Brahma by pointing at the rabbit satay vendor on the other end.
"Okay we will buy there." Brahma said looking at Sekar who looked very enthusiastic about buying rabbit satay on the recommendation of his best friend. He believed that Sekar really never made a mistake in choosing some of the best culinary delights with them when they first dated.
Sekar and Brahma often go for culinary, even though they are only traveling around the city of Malang at that time. The two of them were never separated from any food, even if it was just an angkringan. They both looked very compact at that time but they had parted because of something. Now a fate really sends them in a sacred bond of marriage.
Sekar and Brahma were seen holding hands while walking towards the rabbit satay vendor. They both started walking slowly.
Sekar started to hug Brahma's right arm while putting her head on Brahma's right shoulder. She had looked very spoiled towards Brahma for the past few days. "I really thought that the two of us could unite in a bond! Even though we used to be the opposite of each other in a relationship! But there's no man as good as you that makes me really fall in love with you! "Sekar spoke in her small heart about her true feelings while walking hand in hand with Brahma holding each other tightly the meaning of a true feeling. Everything is by the will of the Almighty.
Then the two of their footsteps stopped at the rabbit satay vendor.
"Sir, I ordered 20 skewers of rabbit satay with only one portion of rice cake. " said Sekar ordering 20 rabbit skewers and one portion of rice cake.
Meanwhile, Brahma only agreed to any request from now on. He is very lucky to have a wife who is so simple and willing to understand him.

Alana was really very frustrated that she even decided to go out to just relieve her stress. She started to walk out of the room with both feet slamming the door in annoyance. She planned to go to a cafe but she changed her mind to go to a nightclub. She wanted to spend the night there dancing on the dance floor and enjoying a few alcoholic drinks that would make her fly.
All the images of Brahma and those memories really stick in Alana's memory. "Why do you always run in the thoughts of my mind?" She started muttering in her little heart as she stepped on her feet.
Alana began to descend the stairs of her house to the lower floor. She saw her father sitting on the sofa in the living room but she didn't care because she thought it was all her father's fault for rejecting her relationship with Brahma. She was very upset with the attitude of her father who always demanded and pressured her. Even though she just wants a real freedom because he feels very mature to make a choice in her life. But her father always interfered in her affairs and never even approved of her relationship with Brahma at that time.
Alana took a deep breath. She tries to contain and suppress her emotions when she is faced with her father who is quite stubborn and never able to understand her at all.
Alana began to smile to welcome her father even though it was quite heartbreaking because her father really separated her from her true love. She will try to prove that Brahma is the best man for her. Although now the situation is different. But she will never give up on getting what she has wanted all along. That overly ambitious attitude really got her stuck.
" Alana! Where are you going?" her father started to replace her two footsteps but she just looked at her father's face with a smile. "Alana, you better stay home because it's already 9 pm. Do you want to get drunk again like yesterday?"
Alana swallowed her own saliva. Then she started to say, "Alana just wants to get some wind, Dad, nothing more! At least it's only for a few hours! Even if Alana doesn't come home, it means she's staying at a friend's house."
"I know that you were drunk yesterday. Some of Father's confidants are watching over you! What do you want to be? That father…"
Then Alana interrupted her father who was always selfish. She was very upset because of her father's image as a candidate for regent in Malang. She knew that her father really took care of her image.
Alana's father's attitude is really very hard to inherit to Alana. Even her ambitious attitude too.
Actually, Alana feels uncomfortable with the image of her father who will run for regent where she lives. She felt that her world was completely stifled. She felt she did not have a wiggle room for the things she wanted to do all this time. Everything has a limit and rules that are beyond reason. In fact, she also feels uncomfortable living in a house full of life's drama.
Alana can only smile wryly seeing her father who is full of image in society. She really didn't expect to be trapped in such a toxic environment.
"Come on, Dad! It's better if you just focus on the image that you've been doing all this time! And Alana doesn't want to be involved in it! " Then Alana just walked away, leaving her father. She was tired of a life drama that was carried out by her father on the basis of image in order to get a position as regent.

Sekar and Brahma began to enjoy their food menu on the side of the road. The rabbit satay that they had ordered was served in front of them along with a portion of lontong which was eaten by the two of them. The two of them look like a pair that spreads the scent of true love.
"Are you happy forever with me, Sekar?"
"I will be happy as long as you are with me because you are the choice in my life to be the Priest in my family."
Brahma smiled at Sekar.
