19 Certain

Sing a beautiful song just for me.

Dim time comes knock the heart.

Please sing, wipe your conscience, so it's not dark.

Once again I ask you to try to sing.

I hope I can feel your sincerity.

I'll definitely hear it, I'll definitely absorb it.

Love rest assured..

The afternoon had arrived, now Alfredo and Karenina were at the place where the marriage ceremony for the two lovebirds would be held.

Karenina looked at her reflection in the mirror, behind her was Sofia, her best friend who was waiting for Karenina during the make-up process.

"You're so beautiful, Nina." Sofia said while hugging her best friend from behind.

"I didn't expect this, my best friend will get married soon, with a man who is wow… sexy." Sofia continued, then kissed her best friend's cheek.

"Why are you silent, anyway?" asked Sofia, who saw her best friend just looking at their reflection in the big mirror in front of them.

"Will my mom and dad be happy with this marriage, Sof?" asked Karenina with a sad face.

"Would they approve if they knew their child was going to marry another woman's husband?" Karenina continued, now tears started to roll down her cheeks. Sofia looked closely at Karenina's face, her heart ached at Karenina's heart-wrenching words.

"They will bless you, because they know better who you are married to, more than what you know, they can see you from there, Nin." Sofia said while framing Karenina's face which was about to look down but she held it in.

"Believe me it's not as bad as you think and you think, Alfredo really loves you, I can see it in his eyes." Sofia continued trying to convince Karenina.

"But I have hurt another woman."

"You didn't hurt anyone, trust me."

"How can you be so sure, when I clearly took Alfredo from his wife."

"You didn't take Alfredo, but Alfredo drew you to be his. Trust me Karenina, everything will be fine."

Karenina cried in Sofia's arms, unable to hold back her tears anymore when she remembered that she was a woman who took another woman's husband. Even though in his heart there was a feeling of love that without realizing it had come to break the door of his heart which he locked tightly.

Sofia loosened her arms on Karenina, then wiped the tears that flowed from her best friend's cheeks.

"Believe me everything will be fine, and there will always be me who will always be loyal to be your friend no matter what happens, you have to remember that."

Karenina nodded, then tried to smile while looking at Sofia.

"It's time for us to go down. Yuk." Invite Sofia, then the two of them came out of the special room to do Karenina's makeup.

They slowly walked towards the elevator that was beside the room. A few minutes later they arrived downstairs and then walked down the hallway that had been arranged neatly by the wedding organizer team.

"Sof." Karenina suddenly stopped making Sofia stop walking too.

"What now?"

"Are you sure, I'm married now?"

"Yes, yes, your husband-to-be is waiting at the place of the contract." Sofia said to Karenina.

Karenina took a deep breath, then looked straight ahead where the last door to reach the place of the contract she immediately passed.

Alfredo smiled from a distance when he saw Karenina in a white dress that hung down to the floor, with a white flower hanging around her head and a bouquet of roses in her hands, making her look a thousand times more beautiful than usual.

Her heart beat faster as Karenina looked at Alfredo's smiling face, happiness shone in his eyes.

Alfredo stepped through the red carpet to pick up Karenina who was standing in front of the exit.

"Beautiful." Alfredo said when he arrived in front of Karenina, then he stretched out his hand to the woman who would soon become his wife.

"Do you like the venue?" Alfredo asked quietly, placing Karenina's hand on his.

"S… like." Karenina said that honestly she really liked the decorations and the place for the ceremony, exactly what she had dreamed of all this time, getting married on a beautiful beach by witnessing a beautiful mega tinge due to the reflection of the sun that was about to set.

"Are you nervous?"

"a little."

"That's good." Alfred said. Karenina turned to look at the face of her future husband.

"That's a sign you feel this marriage." Alfredo continued, then Karenina looked away with her head down, and continued to walk towards the ceremony table.

"Sit down honey." Alfredo said when they arrived at the ceremony table. Then Alfredo sat beside Karenina.

The penghulu then started their marriage ceremony with wisdom, Alfredo's two friends who witnessed their marriage, smiled happily when their best friend and boss had legally had a second wife.

"Congratulations Al, I know this is the last one for you." Rudi said and was followed by his other friends.

Karenina looked at Sofia who came with her boyfriend and boss.

"Congratulations Nina, you are now legally Alfredo's mistress." Sofia said cheerfully, Karenina just smiled stiffly.

"Congratulations Karen, I hope you don't resign because you are married to someone as rich and cool as him." Said Karenina's boss and Sofia's lover.

"I'll still be Karenina, take it easy boss." Karenina replied with a small smile.

"Enjoy the party, buddy." Alfredo said to his friend.

While the invited guests who were only close friends of Karenina and Alfredo were enjoying the party, Karenina stepped to the beach and sat on the sand while staring at the mega red color and the sun was starting to set.

Alfredo stepped closer to Karenina who was legally his wife, then kissed her cheek briefly.

"Very beautiful." Karenina said to Alfredo who was preparing to sit beside her.

"There's nothing more beautiful than that." Alfredo said as he turned to look at Karenina's face.

"What?"

"Marrying you, it's the most beautiful thing in my life." Alfredo said then kissed Karenina's forehead gently.

"I'm scared." Said Karenina, which made Alfredo's chest suddenly tighten, but he tried to smile, then put his arm around Karenina's shoulder, and laid Karenina's head on his shoulder.

"You have nothing to fear, as long as I am here. And will always be here, in your heart, because you are always in my heart too." Alfredo said earnestly.

"I love you, Karenina Wijaya."

"I love you, Ndut. You really are my soul mate, right, I don't break my promise." Alfredo said suddenly without looking at Karenina, his gaze straight on the sun that was almost completely set.

Unlike Karenina who was surprised by the call, with those words, the words of someone she would always remember.

"How can you__" Karenina covered her mouth as Alfredo looked at her smiling but tears started to roll down her cheeks.

"Al, don't tell me you __" Karenina couldn't continue her words, because her tears had already described her heart. But Alfredo's nod was enough to give him an answer.

"Yes, it's me. It's me Karenina."
