Watch Out for Falling in Love
Recognition

Again fun to enjoy a light snack, Andra gasped at the sound of her brother on the venue podium. He thought his brother, Ibnu, would donate a song, apparently not. Even more surprising was Erik next to him. Then Ibn immediately explained his point clearly in front of the invited guests, which was to let his best friend express love to his sister. Just sober Andra was aghast. He immediately got up to run away, but was detained by his two friends.

"Don't run away again!" press them.

"Gue's shy, you know," he lamented.

"Hold a minute shame. Anyway elo should respond to him," Widia suggested.

Andra felt bad for Aydan who was sitting opposite her. His face itself is no longer sad. However, he himself did not respond to anything. Just shut up and don't want to know. It was only his eyes that spoke if he was actually jealous, annoyed, and worried.

"Mas, let's go!" pinta Andra on Aydan.

"For now I can't help you escape again. It's best to just answer her love statement," she replied coldly.

Andra didn't expect Aydan to say that. Though he knew that Aydan was actually very jealous.

Hearing his name mentioned many times by Ibn and Erik up ahead, everyone who recognized him immediately turned to where he was sitting. Alfian, his second brother even pulled his force to move forward. Widia and Ivane were even excited to see her being dragged away. Even though he refused, he was helpless.

With a shy step finally Andra climbed also to the venue. All the guests and their families looked at him. Someone chuckles. Someone is whispering. He glanced at Aydan who was looking at him sharply. He realized the man was worried.

"Sir, look here, dong!" exclaim Ibn.

He grimaced feeling clumsy to be a spectacle. While Erik himself seems to have dispelled his embarrassment. Evidently he looks so happy there is Andra in front of him.

"Now, by yourself!" Ibn thrusting the microphone at Erik while grinning mischievously.

"Hmmm ... Andra, I'm sorry that we both made you a spectacle. It was completely beyond my expectations. Even so, I'm honestly happy. On this good occasion, let me re-express my feelings for you again like the time at the hotel," Erik said shyly.

"Huh?! At hotels? So, you know, Andra's been shot before?" chirpy Ivane didn't expect.

"That means we prank him in the hotel, dong? How, not a story, anyway?" ask Widia to make sure again. Ivane shrugs.

The conversation was heard by Aydan and Yuda. "Stay cool, Bro!" yuda tried to calm him down. Aydan just dehem.

At the venue, Andra looked agitated. Face's tense. Especially when Erik again declared his love. Andra was pounding and awkward.

"Andra or Diandra. As you know before. Emm. I'm actually still waiting for an answer from you after that night. Until I can't sleep. Unfortunately, at that time you did not answer directly. Maybe you're surprised. I was also surprised because I did not expect to be in love with my best friend's sister. I think I've been in love with you since we first met at Ibn's engagement party. So...," Erik rubbed his nape. He seems restless too, "to the point, deh. Once more. I like you too. I love you too. Usually not so soon I like someone. Emmm... Anyway... would you not... You're my girlfriend?" Erik is still tense. He continued to stare at the girl in front of him with his heart racing.

He really hopes Andra has the same feeling. This should be an easy thing. Many women fall in love with him easily. And willingly willing to give his soul and body to get his sympathy. Although he was often indifferent to them. Is Andra the same?

The girl glanced at her two best friends. Both of them were cheering excitedly. It's like a reality show. Aydan himself still bent his face with a sharp look towards him. Andra knew, Aydan was actually angry, but what could he do. The right of others to express love. The key is Diandra himself.

"Dek, dong speaking!" Ibnu handed another microphone to his brother who was silent with a face like he wanted to cry.

Ibnu and Erik, even everyone is waiting for an answer from him. Alfian, his mother, and the bride looked at him. Some even screamed and told him to answer immediately. Andra became increasingly foggy.

"Dad!" yell Ibnu again. It's melolot. Erik was still looking at him.

"Emmm.. before thank you so much for bothering to fall in love with me, uh, me." Andra grinning. Erik's face was still serious and waiting.

"But I'm sorry too. Unfortunately, I can't accept Mas Erik's feelings" he continued. Erik's eyes changed immediately.

"Lho, why, Dek? He's less handsome? Less rich? Less well?" cecar Ibnu astonished. "He's the best of the best, you know, Deck." Ibn raised both his thumbs.

"It's not so, brother. I know he's handsome. He is kind and considerate. Thank you so much for sending food to the boarding house and office. He's rich like him. But ... I still can not accept Mas Erik as my girlfriend," continued Andra.

"I don't know how rich he is" whispered Andra.

"So much less the reason?" urgently Ibn curious. Erik himself is still waiting for an explanation even though the look of his face that was enthusiastic has now changed.

"D-yes. You see, I already have a real girlfriend," Andra finally said.

"Have a girlfriend?" tell everyone there. Not least his family too. Erik was surprised.

"really? Since when? How, not to say?" ibnu protested while gripping his brother's shoulder firmly.

"It was a few months ago, brother," replied Andra nervously. He feels guilty.

"Yes my. You know, I wouldn't fight with Erik. Who's your boyfriend, Dek?" his pedicab. Ibnu also felt bad for Erik.

Andra immediately glanced at the table of her friends. Ibn and Erik looked in the same direction. Then Widia and Ivane forced Aydan to stand in a whimper.

"This is it!" widia shouted in a loud voice.

"Wid, what the fuck, anyway?" aydan protest shame. He wanted to sit down again, but was arrested. All eyes turned towards him.

"Who is he, Dek?" search Ibn.

"I think Mama's seen it, huh" said Ningsih, Andra's mother sitting next to the bride.

"Mom knows?" ask Alfian.

"Yes. Long ago. But I don't know where and when. Forgot."

Erik looked disappointed. He tried to keep smiling despite his heartbreak. Actually, he was suspicious of the closeness of Andra's attitude and his superiors. But he always tepis.

"So she's really your boyfriend? Who is he, anyway?" Once again Ibn asked for an explanation.

With hesitation Andra tried to explain. "His name is Mas Aydan. He was my senior in college. He was also my boss in the office. Sorry, didn't get to say. You are afraid of being caught, you can not date fellow employees," he said.

"Oh yes. She was Andra's upperclassman in college. At that time someone sent a picture of Andra with him again. Mama immediately sewot. Ooh, so you're still in touch with him?" timpal Ningsih's.

Andra, Ibnu, and Erik were surprised to hear the story of Ningsih.

"So someone sent you a picture of Andra and Mas Aydan back then?" the investigation just found out.

"Yes," answered Ningsih flatly.

"Pantesan only! Who's the guy, Ma?" cecar Andra with a feeling of disappointment.

"Eh, no, no. We'll finish first. Continued at home," proposed Ibn who realized the atmosphere is no longer pleasant. Finally, the guests resumed eating and listening to music.

While Andra was looking for her mother about the photo in question earlier. Because it happened a long time ago, Ningsih did not remember and did not know who the sender was because the envelope was not included the name of the sender. Andra's lips were disappointed. Why his mother never told me about it.

Erik who was still grieving over being rejected could only be silent and pensive after joining the guest table with his friends again. "Quiet, Bro. There are many other girls." Entertain them.
