Uncle I Love You
PILY 46: FINISHED

...🇸🇬Singapura🇸🇬...

Arya pulls Ernest to a seat beside her, as her brother (Farhan) greets Guskov while standing up. Farhan scratched his eyebrows after Guskov introduced his future wife. Farhan knew that even though Ernest seemed silent, but this obviously hurt his brother a lot.

"Kov, meet Ernest, and the youngest Aryan. They're my sisters." Farhan spoke lightly while pointing at his two younger siblings who were sitting down. Farhan also did not think that Nadia who was glimpsed by her sister was the wife of her friend.

Guskov chatted lightly as usual amid his curiosity as Farhan did not carry the name of Vijaya. Farhan's company also had nothing to do with the Wijaya family. It just so happens that Farhan invites Guskov to find a drink in the corner of the building. Guskov turned to Nadia who looked so familiar with Arya. "Sik, a minute, yes .... "

"Here you go, take it easy there's Arya and Ernest. They're Nadia's friends, right" Farhan said. He glanced at Arya and got Arya's nod. Yes, brother and sister conspired to give time to her brother with Nadia.

Ernest stared coldly at Guskov before the man left. Then his sister was seen standing up. "Where are you going?" He got the blink of his sister with a rancid look.

"I'm going to the toilet for a minute."

Nadia rubbed her ears, then squeezed the bag on her lap. He glanced at the friend who did not look here. Ernest's eyes were as if directing a poisonous gaze at the bread that was being cut on the table. Just as Nadia was about to call, Ernest suddenly turned towards her. The face of the man without expression made Nadia instantly forget everything.

Ernest stopped the piece, and glanced around again, hoping he was strong against Nadia this time around. However, so see the face that always accompany his days on campus and so imprint in his life. His heart also shakes. "Congratulations."

"W-what?" Nadia straightened her back. Congratulations to?"

The two corners of the man's lips were raised, and his heart was broken. "Welcome to see Guskov, Na? Not to mention, huh?"

The clink of the knife and plate made Nadia's heart shrink, even though Ernest had cut the bread on the plate until it became the smallest part. It seemed, Ernest's mind seemed to be elsewhere. Instantly the sound of lethargy and the cold gaze of Ernest disturbed Nadia's mood. "Just yesterday afternoon I met him, when I drove Dhita to the hospital."

"And it's been over a day, but you didn't tell me. That's so cool, huh? Did you stay at his place last night?" Ernest sighed in despair. His heart is so sick. He put a rough knife and fork on the plate, but it sounded like a slam.

"Er .... " Nadia looked at the nano. Ernest now grabbed his hand from the table and brought it to the chair. Nadia pulled her hand, but was restrained. The woman looked around and returned to the man's eyes very cold. "You know, Guskov and I are getting married. I haven't told you yet, it's so sudden."

"He's eight years on your side" Ernest recalls. Something inside her wanted to cry.

"What's the problem? Many out there are up to 30 years apart, and their relationship is fine. My mom and dad agreed too. They're preparing everything."

"What do you see of him, Nad? Open your eyes, he's been lying. He could've lied again, then cheated." The muscles on Ernest's face stiffened as Nadia pulled the wiggly fingers from her grasp.

"Talk you're bad, si? You're my best friend, Er. You pray like that. Guskov is not as bad as you think!" Nadia narrowed her eyes and her lips twitched in anger, then stood up. "Excuse me, I'm going to the toilet."

Ernest stared at Nadia's departure, then glanced around. He followed Nadia's departure. He did not want to take off his best friend who now looks more mature.

Fifteen minutes of Ernest waiting, until Nadia came out of the bathroom. The man forced Nadia into a deserted place and pulled into the dim room. Ernest turned his back on the closed door, not allowing Nadia to pass.

Inside the Hallroom, Guskov began to feel his heart thumping uncontrollably. He was claustrophobic for no reason and so suddenly. Guskov still watched Farhan tell his story.

As it turns out, Farhan and Ernest are different fathers. Farhan's mother asks for divorce because Grandpa Wijaya is against their marriage. Then Dawan remarried to the woman who was betrothed by Grandpa Wijaya. Ernest and Arya were born.

Farhan also recounted that the company he managed belonged to his mother. Company Grandpa from Mother's side. Farhan then accepted Ernest who worked at his company.

"Complicated .... " Guskov took the wine from the tray of the waiter who had just passed by. He glanced at Nadia, but was deterred by many people who started dancing.

...⏳TWO MONTHS ELAPSED⌛...

...🇮🇩INDONESIA🇮🇩...

"I marry you ananda Guskov bin Adhitama to Nadia Adelia bint Joko with a dowry of one house unit, 1000$ Singapore, and a set of gold jewelry of a cash diamond because of Allah, paid in cash," said marriage guardian.

"I accept Nadia Adelia bint Joko's marriage with the dowry paid in cash."

"Alhamdulillah," the voice of the people welcomed haru.

Nadia and Guskov's tears just slid off, as Nadia kissed her husband's hand. Guskov looked at the veiled Nadia with a trembling heart. He kissed the woman's forehead who is now ready to accompany his life.

Joko's house is filled with happiness. Tratag extends on the streets that are always filled with guests who are alternating. Kids toy salesman meets the roadside.

Joko invited the people of his village and neighboring villages. A buffalo was slaughtered and made into gulai, this is a favorite food of the local community. The evening was a puppet show. The next day there was a Kuda Lumping spectacle and the night there was a Sintren show until one in the morning.

Guskov's bravery and Nadia's increasingly radiant face. They truly exuded an aura of timid love making anyone anxious to see them. Tak Elak, Guskov became the subject of the hunt for residents to ask for photos together for three days since his return from Singapore.

Luckily the newlywed couple brought five special souvenir boxes to share with the neighbors. Not seen from its value, but they actually liked Nadia and Guskov more and more. Shelin and Sera, who are willing to stay three days at Nadia's brother's house to disturb their best friend. They also always uplod the happiness of Guskov and Nadia.

⚓

Elsewhere, Vaya bites her index finger at the dining table while observing a photo of Nadia's wedding. He glanced at Milan who had just returned after driving Dicky who was about to go to work. "Mil, look! you're not envious of what? Nadia can dowry one house, 1000$ Singapore, and diamond."

Milan landed the b0k0ng on the teak chair, his hand reaching for Dicky's old glass. She bubbled half a glass of clear water to empty, then glanced at her brother. "One-story house, really. What is envy for, brother? After all, Mas Guskov was already happy."

"Mil, if you were still with Guskov, Bramansyah Group would be more advanced now. Then the most important thing is that I did not force Mama Bram to marry Mas Surya. I can not fight against the will of Mamah even though Mas Surya who was caught cheating back and forth. Where are the girls young."

Vaya does not accept, why his sister is nice to have fun with Dicky. Dicky, who only worked as a marketing director in Bramansyah's office, earned a salary. Why not a man who can make money or advance company profits. "Guskov is very different, he is now a billionaire in the next country."

"Already, brother. Mama hasn't liked Mas Guskov for a long time either." Milan understood Mama Bram who now even more often nagged him. Mama also always cursed Guskov for living happily on top of the suffering of this family.

That's how my mom was never satisfied. Although Kak Vaya's husband has poured a lot of funds for Bramansyah Group, but the losses are difficult to suppress since the departure of Mas Guskov from the office.

Married to Dicky I never regretted. Dicky was the best and most loving husband. Especially with the presence of a very funny son. I am very grateful and I have never found this feeling in my time with Guskov.

As Dicky repeatedly wanted to leave Bramansyah Group and find a job outside, I kept convincing Dicky to stay. There, right, is my part.

...🇸🇬 SINGAPORE 🇸🇬...

Elsewhere at the Singapore airport. Ernest waited for the flight. She kept staring at the wedding picture of Nadia, her body now felt boneless.

Farhan stroked the sister's shoulder. "Are you sure you didn't congratulate Nadia?" He found the head of his brother. "At least call him that you're moving to Europe. Kasian, you know, he came to the house and called Arya asking about you. Let him know first, so Nadia's not hurt."

*Jessie \= Wife Jefri*

Ernest turned off his phone and stood up after hearing the airport call. Ernest ignored his brother and sister, chose to go straight to him, then hugged Papa Dawan. "Repid .... Don't look for me. Don't spy on me. I want to live a simple and independent life, continuing my education with my own money."

Cloudy eyes glazed over, his hands hugged even tighter. "Be knights. Don't be weak because of women. Maybe he's not your soul mate. She's happy. You'll be happy too, son .... "

"Thank you, Papa." Ernest kissed the papah's right-left cheek, and wiped away the tears in the corner of Papa Dawan's eyes. "I Love You, Papa."

"I Love You, too." Dawan rubbed the shoulder of the child, who from since High School always wanted to live independently, even wanted to remove the name of Vijaya from Ernest's last name. He stared at the nanar, as the son hugged his brother and sister. A father's heart would not be willing to see his son live in a faraway place alone. But, honey, Nadia did not see Ernest as a couple.

...⏳FIVE YEARS PASSED⌛...

Nadia looked out the window, her eyes narrowed, then glanced at the watch. It's been twenty minutes, her husband hasn't been out of Farhan's office. He looked back down, people coming out of the office at break time. Looking further at the bus that stopped at the stop, he wanted to take the bus.

Nadia was going to the toilet, and her eyes were fixed on the figure at the end of the hall that had just stopped and was wearing a suit. So good-looking. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"Ernest's? Oh God!" Nadia ran over to the silent man, and the distance was now one meter. This floor is rarely passed by people because of the special floor of CEO Farhan. "Hi, Ernest."

Ernest's view faded. Five years did not see Nadia, the woman was getting more graceful and not childish anymore. Ernest swallowed Saliva, as he was not ready for this encounter.

The man loosened his tie, which somehow, it seemed like it was what made him claustrophobic. "Hi, Nadia Adelia," she said in a trembling voice.

Nadia tilted her head, looking from the bottom up. He gripped Ernest's arm so fiercely. "Where have you been?"

"The story is long, not one day enough." Ernest felt his cheeks warm up. Being alone as she recalled she forced a kiss on Nadia's lips, but the woman got in the way with her palm. At that time Ernest forced again, precisely Nadia so hard pulled the tie. As a result, at the last meeting, he did not get the kiss, even if only once and last.

"Ernest's? are you sick! your face is so red?" Nadia narrowed her eyes and took off her hand, then scratched her non-itchy nose. "You didn't congratulate me on my marriage, even you disappeared from that day."

Ernest laughed lightly. "Nad, you're charging me? Okay, congratulations on your wedding. May you have your happiness for five years!" Ernest reached out by showing off his gentle posture.

Nadia chuckled, and returned the hand in front of the stomach. He shook the warmth of his best friend's hand. "You, right, my best friend! it's not like it's without you, ER."

"Darling .... "

Nadia tilted to the right, and shifted as Ernest's body covered. He saw the origin of the soft female voice coming from the end of the passage. The red-haired woman immediately slipped spoiled on Ernest's arm, which made Nadia take off Ernest's hand. Nadia's eyes sparkled. "ah! ernest's girlfriend?!

The red-haired woman immediately frowned, because she had seen the black-haired woman in a picture frame in Ernest Flat (apartment) in London. "Nadia Adelia?"

"Why do you know my name?" One of Nadia's eyebrows shot up quickly. He smiled again with his white teeth, immediately acquainted with a woman who turned out to be named Sarah. Nadia mocked Ernest who did not share the happy news about their wedding plans.

Now Nadia caught Ernest's proud gaze. The man continued to hug his future wife. "You are jealous, yes!! Ah congratulations!!!"

"Bracious!!" The voice of the little boy distracted Ernest. Little girl in glasses, pink watch with Barbie picture bag.

Ernest rubbed his wet eyes. Frankly his heart was in ruin, but mixed with pleasure when he saw the little girl who resembled Nadia as a child. The girl is now in her mother's arms and introduced to Sarah, her beloved wife-to-be.

"Hi, Om, know me Alisya. Om must be Mama's best friend!" Alisya then felt the warmth of Om's sling, which she saw several times in the photo belonging to Mamah.

"Yes, you know, you know." Ernest laughed until his tears came out so happy, seeing the cuteness of the little girl who took off pink glasses. He turned to Sarah and said softly, "Darling, you see, right. He's so funny."

Sarah rubs the cheeks of the girl whose hair is tied in a centipede style. He really likes kids. "Beautiful, come on, let's play together!"

Ernest relented when Sarah was holding Alisya. Ernest's heart was again wounded, when Guskov came and immediately hugged Nadia's shoulder. Guskov greeted him first, not like he used to be jealous. Now Guskov seems calmer, though still possessive.

They went to the entertainment venue along with Farhan and his wife. When the women and Alisya play on the horse rides. Ernest and Guskov sat in front of the liquor store. Farhan went to the toilet. Guskov cleared his throat because he felt dry.

"How old is Alisya now?" ernest asked and the sound of a can was heard from the can that Ernest was holding. He unknowingly brushed his empty tin 4s to a dent.

"Three years." Guskov smiled warmly, and pushed the tin of cola-cola in front of Ernest, and thought Ernest was thirsty. "When are you going to get married? Ah sorry, I was too happy because of how excited Nadia was when the story that you and Sarah were going"

"Guskov, if you've had an affair once, I'll make sure you take your wife."

Guskov smiled wryly and turned ferocious. He thought Ernest had changed, it turned out that now it was more annoying. Although the face of his competitors seemed more mature, but his thinking was much more depressing.

"ER, you don't have to bother saying this. Enough of you to see it, because I'm not interested in a woman other than her. Nadia to me is everything and until the end I will not let go.

I didn't even think of daring to hurt her, anymore. I'm learning enough from the past, ER. Just because I made a mistake doesn't mean I'm going to repeat it!"

Ernest stood up, after Guskov stood up with red, teary eyes. Guskov then held Ernest's shoulder with Guskov's full body shaking. Guskov's breath is like a bull ready to attack. Ernest was getting stiff all over his body, and his throat was now feeling so hot, exceeding the scorching heat this afternoon.

"I'M NOT GONNA HURT HER. YOU HEARD," son of Guskov then rubbed his eyes blurry by tears. Everything about Nadia made him emotional. He gripped Ernest's shoulder firmly, the height of which was parallel. "I LOVE HIM MORE THAN I LOVE MYSELF!"

Guskov left Ernest and went to a quieter place. He realized that he felt he was not a good man for Nadia. So, Guskov tried his best to pay for his mistakes in the past.

He's been stamped as A CHEATER, A LIAR. However, he is only human, and feels he has already been punished for the shame of lying to Nadia, who continues to haunt his mind. He's AFRAID, if Nadia will one day leave him and use that excuse to strike back.

When those vile words were spoken from the mouths of others, it made her remember every pain Nadia went through because of it. He remembered the time he was expelled, from his own home. Self-esteem as a man is trampled.

Especially with something not done. She did have an affair with, Nadia but she never thought to remove the chastity of a girl or fornicate. However, he came out of the house with dirt thrown out Bramansyah face.

There Nadia still stands up for him, booking a taxi online, taking care of him in a wheelchair at Shelin's home. He lied to Nadia at the time. Though Nadia at that time was so hurt, and endured the grief for herself. But ....

...Nadia was really sincere there, on my toughest DAY, on HARI no one would want to see and appreciate me....

...For me....

...To a former liar .. who wouldn't lie anymore....
