"Mas Juna, how come you're here?" shasha asked as soon as the person who called her stood in front of her.
"I am his cousin Adel's sister from his father" replied the man named Arjuna.
"You are the brother of the groom?" ask Arjuna.
"You could say so. Mas Adi is Rendra's brother-in-law, my sister" Shasha said.
Arjuna frowned. "Your sister-in-law's sister? Is your brother married?"
Shasha nodded. "Yes, he married her a year and a half ago."
"That means you're married too?"
"No, Mas. I was stepped over by my sister, just as rich as Mas Adi," Shasha replied with a chuckle. "Let's go along."
The two of them then walked side by side to the buffet place.
"Mas Juna is married?" ask Shasha.
"Yet. I'm still pursuing a career. I didn't think of getting married until I met you today" Arjuna replied with a smile.
Shasha laughed at Arjuna's reply. His senior had always teased him from the past.

"Sit down, Mas" said Shasha.
"Thank you." The Emperor sat down beside Shasha.
"How are you?" ask Emperor.
"As Mas Kai saw, I'm good and healthy."
"So I wanted to bring Tirta here, but he has an event" said the Emperor.
"Well, baby. I miss meeting him" said Shasha.
"Calm down, at the reception the same tomorrow he will come along" the Emperor said with a smile.
"Right, Mas Kai?" shasha asked with sparkling eyes.
Emperor nodded. "Yes." Yeah."
"Who, Sha?" asked Arjuna who was sitting next to his right.
Shasha looked at Arjuna. "This is Tirta's brother, Mas. I'll introduce ya."
Shasha then turned to the Emperor.
"Mas Kai, this is Mas Juna. Mas Juna, this is Mas Kai." Shasha introduced them both.
"Emperor."
"Moonj."
The Emperor and Arjuna shook hands while mentioning each other's names.
"Mas Juna is my senior at college. His senior Tirta too," Shasha told the Emperor.
Emperor nudged. He then continued to eat not interested in talking to Arjuna.
"Where the hell is that, Sha?" ask Arjuna.
"Tirta used to be with me everywhere. Mas Juna, don't you remember?" Shasha cringing.
Arjuna. "When you're on campus, my eyes are on you, Sha."
"Ckckck, start the fight. Hunting find a wife there Mas, so there's Mas Juna gombalin." Shasha sneered at Arjuna.
Arjuna laughs. You always didn't believe me, Sha.
