I Select Another Door of Heaven
Weddings

"I'll marry you, be prepared tomorrow we'll get married." the voice sounded resolute, either a notice or an order but from her tone as if it didn't accept rejection.

"What do you mean?" Rianti looked up, with eyes that kept on letting out tears she ventured to stare at the man who came suddenly in the middle of the night to his house.

"I'm going to marry you" Nathan squatted his body to the girl who was resting on the carpet.

"Why? Don't you love me?" rianti asked still with tears streaming down her cheeks.

The man Nathan is present in his life and his family is honestly a hero. His presence became an oasis for himself and his sisters who are currently in the desert.

No more conversations between them. After rubbing the top of Rianti's head that was still resting, he came out of the simple house. The house he bought for Rianti and his sisters since his mother died.

Morning greet, as usual Rianti activity is to wake up before dawn and do all the housework before his two sisters wake up. Until the dawn adhan before then he woke his two younger siblings for congregational dawn prayers.

Breakfast was already served at the dining table which only fit for three people. Both of his siblings are well-groomed in school uniforms. The two prepare when all their housework is done, cleaning the yard and helping Rianti wash the clothes are already part of each.

If usually breakfast activities they go through quietly and full of warmth, but different from this morning. Two women who claimed to be MUA came to Rianti's house, he claimed to be ordered by his superiors to dress Rianti complete with white wedding kebaya guarded by one of the women who came.

"What's up, brother?" hearing Rianti's serious chat with his guests made Rianti's two younger brothers come to him.

"It's..."

"Assalamu'alaikum" not yet Rianti explained about the arrival of his guests, the voice of someone familiar to Rianti's ears and his sisters shifted their focus.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Brother Nathan.." Rianti's first brother answered, saying, the young man who was now in the twelfth grade of high school approached Nathan who was already standing in the doorway with a full suit stellan.

"What do you mean, brother?" Andhika, Rianti's first sister asked Nathan directly,

"Today you will marry your sister, for today can you skip school? And we're Dhik, get ready to be your sister's marriage guardian." Nathan made both Rianti's sisters aghast, as well as Rianti who was shocked because it turns out Nathan really proved his point last night.

"But Brother?" Rianti protested he stared intently at the man before him, who was, how could he have believed and accepted the marriage invitation while last night he saw clearly how the man was holding another woman at his best friend's event.

Flashbacks

"We should have known enough, lest there be a sense of not being disappointed finally" Rianti's mind.

With his own eyes on Tiara's monthly four-monthly thanksgiving, Rianti sees Nathan coming with Micah's hand, the woman he said had been considered his own sister because Micah was the sister of a friend and woman he loved so much in the past.

Smile expands on Nathan's lips, he is happy to bring Micah in Tiara and Arzan, his best friend and former love rival in the past. Without Nathan noticing from a distance not too far away a pair of eyes were staring at him with a wounded and disappointed look.

"I realized, all this time we were just close but without ties. Merely a friend, yet for some reason there was a fear of loss in my heart" Rianti looked straight ahead, a fairly wide expanse of grass in the backyard garden of Tiara's house to be where she was at this moment.

But despite Tiara's fatigue, she still tried to hold on. He wanted to accompany a hard day for his best friend. Not only tired of the body that Rianti felt, but also a broken heart because it was hit by reality.

"I understand how you feel, I know what it's like to love someone who doesn't love us. And the saddest thing is when we love him but he loves someone else. As hard as we try if it is not us that he wants so it will all end painfully" Tiara's mind was no less far to laugh, he recalled the early days of his marriage with Arzan. How she tried to be a good wife but in her husband's heart there is still another woman.

After the Thanksgiving, everyone left. Micah and Nathan were their last guests. Tiara tried to be friendly and casual when she saw how Nathan showed his concern for Micah, although in her heart she was not comfortable seeing Rianti who looked sad watching everything.

"I've prepared everything, don't worry I'm nothing. Right now I just need some time to adjust" Rianti turned towards Tiara who was sitting next to him with a smile made as bright as possible, she knew her best friend was worried about her.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not as weak as you think. There enter, pregnant women can not be out there for a long time to catch a cold" Rianti told Tiara to come in. The day was getting night, after the prayer Maghrib Rianti did choose to sit in the park and it turned out that Tiara followed him.

"Yes, I know you're not that weak. But I just wanted to cheer you up. When I was falling you were always there for me, and now it was my turn to do the same for you" Tiara hugged Rianti tightly from the side, she rubbed Rianti's shoulder, and now it was Rianti's turn, trying to channel positive energy as support for his best friend. Convince her that she will always be there for her best friend.

"Everyone has their own process to get to a happy ending. I am sure that in time there will be a man who loves you sincerely, accepts you for who you are, makes your shortcomings a source of reward for him and makes your strengths a source of happiness." tiara said sincerely and approved by Rianti.

"Keep assured, your soul mate must be visiting so prepare yourself with knowledge, agree?" Tiara thrusts her right hand to shake, but Rianti only looks at Tiara with teary eyes, she is lucky to have a friend like Tiara.

"Agreed?" repeat Tiara with your hands hanging,

"Hehe.iya-iya I accepted, and I already felt it. But now please follow me yes, you are pregnant, I do not want anything to happen with my future nephew" Rianti said as he stood up and led Tiara to stand up as well.

"You guys turned out here" the voice of someone who was none other than Nathan made the two women compactly turn their heads, he said,

"Sir Nathan is here? didn't you come home?" Tiara being the first to break the silence that had occurred for a while, she walked up to Nathan. While Rianti he was still silent where he stood.

"Yes, there's something I have to finish" Nathan said, turning to Rianti,

Both sit side by side. Rianti stared straight at the bright darkness of the night due to the light of the garden lights.

"Mikha asked to be escorted to see Arzan and Tiara, she wanted to apologize" Nathan said,

"I'm afraid of you..."

The ringing of the phone in his jacket pocket stopped Nathan from getting a call from Micah.

"I have to go" without waiting for Rianti Nathan's answer to leave just like that leaving the girl in a state of shock.
