BULLIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

Steven pinned a plain silver ring on Dania's ring finger, as well as Dania pinned a ring on Steven's ring finger. The two big families of the bride and groom felt relieved, finally, the sacred moment went as expected.

Hardiyata and his wife were happy to see their eldest son's marriage going smoothly.

After the wedding ceremony was over, everyone moved to the Ballroom Room next door, where guests could enjoy the sumptuous meals provided by the Hotel. Guests can also party with Cocktails when night falls.

Dania and Steven stood on the beautifully decorated wedding stage. They stood with their respective families to greet the guests who wished them well. Only Saskia did not join her family. The sexy girl reasoned that she was tired and she had to rest because tomorrow she had to shoot and there were also some photoshoots.

At 2 pm, the bride and groom had been standing there for two hours. Dania already looks tired standing.

"How long have I been standing like this? I'm so tired!" Dani grumbled.

Steven, who was standing beside him, could hear Dania's words. He glanced sharply at Dania who continued to sigh tiredly.

"Hold on a little longer. Not only you who are tired but me too," said Steven, which surprised Dania.

Dania just pouted annoyed, her husband was annoying.

Day turns to night. Dania no longer wears a wedding dress but has changed into a long white cocktail dress which is perfect for her current cocktail party.

Steven had also changed into a new suit.

They feasted with the guests who were still arriving to congratulate them.

Steven is no longer with Dania. He enjoyed his drink with David, while Dania chatted with her cousin Yunita.

"Where's Angel? You two aren't usually separated? Usually, you're always together," said Steven as he enjoyed his drink.

"I and Angel have separated. We are not lovers anymore and our marriage is also canceled," said David.

"What?. Don't you two love each other?" Steven couldn't believe that his best friend David had just broken up with Angel.

What's more, their relationship is like husband and wife and the last time they lived together in one apartment.

"We separated on good terms, and his profession as an artist made me uneasy. You know how the lifestyle of today's artists is. I can't accept it and he also doesn't want to leave his world. So, it's better if we walk alone. I can live for free. I also don't feel pressured by this unhealthy relationship," replied David.

"Yes, I can see from your attitude now," said Steven.

David, who was previously focused on Steven, now has his eyes fixed on Dania and Yunita who are laughing. They were a bit far apart, but David could see the happy expressions on the two women.

The man smiled at them.

"Steven, look at your wife, I feel she is not as bad as you think. She is beautiful, elegant, and sweet when she smiles, and she is a doctor. She must be a smart woman, bro," said David praising Dania's figure.

He spoke without looking at Steven and only focused on seeing Dania.

"So all this time you thought he was ugly?" asked Steven.

"It's not that ugly, all this time I thought she was an uneducated and rude woman like you and Saskia said. It turns out that she is beautiful when she is dressed like that. But maybe because her appearance is not as fashionable as Saskia and Angel her aura doesn't radiate outward. Are you sure you won't fall in love with that woman?"

Steven took a deep breath and exhaled roughly, then smiled crookedly as he shook his head at all of David's words.

"Do you think all this time I fell in love with Saskia because she is beautiful and sexy? Indeed, one of them, I admit. But, Dania? I married her because of coercion from my father and mother!"

David just silently enjoyed his cocktail while listening to all of Steven's words. When Steven had spoken at length and explained everything, he had nothing more to say.

"Never mind, I want to say hello to them first. I haven't met Dania yet. You just stay here." David spoke after a brief silence.

"What are you doing there?" asked Steven.

"I want to meet you. She's just your contract wife and you don't love her either. So, it doesn't matter if I approach her," David explained as he put down his cocktail glass.

"Whatever," Steven replied curtly, turning his head the other way.

David walked away leaving Steven looking annoyed. He came to the two women who were standing in front of the small round table. The height of the table was at their chest level. The table only stands on one leg, its shape is small, and they can only use it as a pedestal and a place for drinks.

"Hey ladies, am I interrupting?" said David warmly.

"I'm David, Steven's friend!"

Dania accepted David's hand, "I'm Dania, this is my cousin, Yunita."

The two of them let go of their hands and began to chat casually. Dania occasionally smiled at David as well as David who smiled too.

Meanwhile, Steven, who had seen them earlier, looked annoyed. Even though they were far away, he could see their joy.

He was a little annoyed to see Dania and David were able to have fun chatting and even laugh and smile. He did not expect that Dania could easily get along with other people. He thought that a woman who never left the house could not win people's hearts. Turns out he was wrong. The proof is that David, who is indifferent, can chat casually with him.

He was annoyed to see their closeness, even though they had just met. Why should he be upset? He and Dania are not two people who love each other. They were just strangers who had only known each other for a few days. It was none of her business if Dania was close to a man.

But when you think about it, David is his best friend. If David and Dania had an unusual relationship, where would you put your face? his ex-wife is in a relationship with her best friend. He must be ashamed and his pride will be tarnished.
