Dear Mr Dev's Wife
Engagement Announcement

Silence occurred between Angga and Diana. The current situation made the two of them unable] to open their mouths.

After a long time in silence each, Angga finally made a decision.

"alright. I concur. I'll announce our engagement here. It's just. for how I feel about you... "

"No need to rush. I will wait until Brother opens his heart for me. I'm sure that one day, Brother can take my feelings".

Diana spoke with a cheerful smile as she was very happy to hear Angga's decision.

"Then we go back to the party room".

"Euh".

Diana nodded with a cheerful smile and walked with Angga.

...****************...

Inside the hotel ballroom, everyone was waiting for the arrival of Angga and Aleena.

"Where did Angga go? He said he'd be back soon".

Angga's mother looked panicked waiting for the son while continuing to look around.

"Mama relax. Brother and sister Aleena will definitely be back soon", Citra said to calm the mother.

Before long, Angga and Diana entered the ballroom.

"That's Angga's sister. Uh, where's Aleena's sister? Why are you with Diana?".

The image that saw Angga enter with Diana looked shocked at not finding Aleena with them.

"Sister, where's Aleena's sister? Wasn't it that you were going to look for it?", asked Citra as soon as Angga approached her.

"Well, Mah, Om, aunt, I have something to talk to you about for a second. It's about my engagement announcement".

Angga ignored the sister and immediately spoke to his parents and also Diana's elder brother.

Angga and Diana's parents stared at each other in wonder at Angga's serious face.

"What's wrong? What do you want to talk about? It seems like a serious matter?", asked Angga's mother with a serious face.

"Can we move somewhere else first? It's personal, so I can't talk here"

The parents looked back at each other before they finally agreed.

"alright. Let's find an empty room".

Angga, Diana and their two parents immediately rushed to the empty room to talk.

"What do you want to talk about?".

Angga's father asked in a calm manner.

"Well, Dad, did I decide to announce my engagement to Diana?"

"What?!"

Everyone looked surprised by what Angga had just said.

"What actually happened? Where is Aleena?", asked Angga's mother who was very curious.

"Aleenas... Long story. I can't get engaged to her". Angga lowered his head as he answered the mother's question.

"Female, listen to Mama. It's not a trivial matter. Do not make decisions in a hurry".

Angga's mother tried to convince her son not to be rash.

"You should see this".

"Are you sure about this?".

Angga's mother seemed doubtful of what she saw.

"Aleena can't be like this. There must be some misunderstanding".

Aleena's mother expressed her doubts with what Angga showed.

"CCTV recordings are impossible to fake. How can we doubt this? Anyways... It's time to announce the engagement. If we cancel it... Then our good name will be affected".

Angga spoke with a sad face.

"Papa understands your concern, but if you decide to announce your engagement to Diana right now. You have to think about it carefully. Don't be rash".

Angga's father also tried to remind his son before he made up his mind.

"I'm sure, Pah. I can't possibly continue my engagement to Aleena while Diana …".

Angga did not continue his words and just stared at Diana who had been silent a thousand languages since.

"Diana, do you really want to get engaged to Angga? Don't you think what about Aleena?".

Diana's father began talking to Diana after hearing Angga's words, insisting he was engaged to his daughter.

"Yes, Pah. I'm getting engaged to Angga's sister. I've loved it for a long time, it's just... Because Angga's sister is in a relationship with Aleena's sister so I don't dare to say it. This time, because Angga's sister said her relationship with Aleena's sister couldn't continue, so I'm willing to replace Aleena's sister".

Diana explained in a calm and slightly timid manner to be able to convince everyone of her decision.

"If you both agree ... We can't say anything anymore. We can only remind you that once this is announced, you cannot just change your mind. It would further embarrass our family's good name".

Diana's father firmly reminded Diana and Angga of their decision.

"Thank you Pah".

Diana hugged the father while saying thank you. At the same time, he smiled in satisfaction at the mother because their plan had worked.

"Kalau begitu kita kembali ke tempat pesta sekarang. Semua tamu pasti sudah menunggu kita".

Semua mengangguk setuju dan mereka pun keluar untuk kembali ke ballroom hotel.

"Perhatian semuanya".

Semua orang menoleh begitu mendengar suara ayah Angga yang kini berdiri sambil memegang mic ditangannya.

"Pertama-tama saya ucapkan terima kasih atas kehadiran anda sekalian dalam pesta yang diadakan keluarga kami. Dalam kesempatan ini kami ingin memberitahukan kabar gembira kepada anda sekalian mengenai rencana pernikahan putra sulung saya dengan salah satu putri dari keluarga pak Bastian Prasetyo. Angga, Diana, kemarilah".

Ayah Angga memanggil Angga dan Diana untuk maju ke depan. Mereka langsung berjalan beriringan menghampiri sang ayah.

Terlihat beberapa orang saling berbisik heran karena yang maju justru Diana, bukan Aleena.

"Mungkin ada sebagian orang yang mengira kalau putraku akan menikah dengan putri sulung pak Bastian, namun sebenarnya yang akan menikah dengan putraku adalah putri kedua pak Bastian, yaitu Diana. Untuk acara pertunangan mereka, kami akan mengirimkan undangannya dalam waktu dekat. Terima kasih dan silahkan nikmati kembali pestanya".

Suasana sedikit riuh karena orang-orang saling mengeluarkan pendapat mereka masing-masing setelah ayah Angga selesai memberikan pengumuman. Terutama teman-teman Angga yang mengetahui seberapa dekat hubungannya dengan Aleena.

Bukannya Angga sudah cukup lama pacaran dengan Aleena? Kenapa justru akan bertunangan dengan adiknya?

Aku juga tidak tahu. Melihat Aleena saat ini tidak ada, mungkin mereka putus di saat-saat terakhir

Apa keluarga itu sangat ingin menjalin ikatan sampai tidak peduli siapapun yang akan jadi pasangan Angga nantinya?

Entahlah. Mungkin ada sesuatu yang hanya diketahui oleh mereka saja.

Ya, itu benar. Dan itu bukanlah urusan kita. Biarkan saja masalah itu menjadi masalah mereka. Hanya saja … bagaimana perasaan Aleena saat tahu kalau mantan pacarnya langsung mengumumkan rencana pertunangan dengan adiknya sendiri hanya berselang beberapa jam setelah mereka putus?

Aku tidak bisa membayangkannya. Jika itu aku, sudah pasti akan sangat kecewa pada Angga dan semua keluarga mereka.
