"Soon, Raisa and Ivan will have a wedding. How about you and Aiden? Aren't you going to have a wedding party?" Maria asked.

Anya has never thought about her wedding party. If Maria hadn't asked her, perhaps she would never think of throwing a party.

​​

Time is running out too fast. When Anya was pregnant, she left all her work. Now, she just wants to work.

"Do I and Aiden have to hold a party?" Anya asked. She didn't want the party.

"Of course. Marriage is only once in a lifetime. Don't you want to wear a wedding dress in front of many and let them congratulate you? As a woman, you should at least wear a wedding dress once in your life," said Maria.

"Could you please ask Raisa? Does she mind if Aiden and I have a joint party with her? Brother Ivan and Aiden are brothers. That way, we can also save time and energy. I don't want you to be exhausted," Anya replied.

Maria lauged. "Alright, alright. I will ask Raisa. Taking care of a marriage is not a hard thing for me, take it easy…"

After hanging up, Anya immediately called Bima's cell phone. Currently, he is drinking tea with Marsha.

Bima is surprised to hear that Anya got a flower bouquet because he was not the one who sent it. He told Anya that he would ask his friends one by one. Who knows if one of them sent it but forgot to include their name.

…

Raisa is annoyed when she hears that Anya wants to have a joint wedding party.

She immediately complained to her mother. "Mother, what should I do? Anya is prettier and more famous than me. She will grab all the attention and put me under her shadow later,"

"I will discuss it with Maria later and tell her that you and your brother will have a joint party instead. Let our family take care and bear the costs. Della won't be able to steal everyone's attention from you. Don't worry!" Irena said.

"Anya thought about Sister Maria. She is worried that it will exhaust her to take care of the party alone. But I don't want to join parties with others. I want it to be my one and only party alone!" Raisa is getting more and more angry.

When Raka came down from upstairs, he heard Raisa still complaining.

"Isn't this just a wedding party? Nico and Nadine also have a party together. Brother Ivan and Aiden are brothers. What's wrong with having a party together? If the party is separated, does it make sense that the Atmajaya Family holds a wedding party four times a year?"

"But I don't want to have a wedding with Anya!" Raisa said angrily.

"Then, just have it with your brother!" Irena tried to persuade her.

"Before Della graduated, I didn't intend to get married just yet. If you don't mind getting married later, you can wait for us then…"

"Mother, look at brother! He said it on purpose!" Raisa stomped her foot angrily.

How could she want to wait? She had been waiting for Ivan to propose to her for a long time. She had to hurry to marry Ivan before the man changed his mind!

"Anya doesn't really care about people and doesn't want to be the center of attention. If you are afraid that you will lose to her, you better talk to her. I believe she will understand." Raka knew Anya very well. He also knew that Anya wanted to have a joint party with Raisa, not because she wanted to be compared with his sister on purpose.

Since the Atmajaya Family will take care of the cost of this marriage, they will need a lot of energy and effort into it. Bima does not have a wife and as the oldest woman in the family, Maria is the one who has to manage everything.

After thinking about it for one week, Raisa finally agreed.

She did not have the patience to wait for Raka because she did not know when her brother wanted to get married.

Anya knew Raisa had a special request from her after agreeing to have a joint party. Therefore, she invited her to come to her mother's house and discuss the matter further.

Not only Raisa, she also invited her entire family to have dinner together.

Since the holidays, Diana has been quite busy. And the house is pretty lit with Alisa and Jenny.

As soon as Anya decided to have dinner at her mother's house, Hana immediately came to prepare the event from morning to night.

Nico came along with Tara who was pregnant. Since Tara's pregnancy, Nico has been seen much more caring and taking good care of his wife.

Harris and Nadine looked at them with jealousy. They also secretly began to discuss their plans to have children in the future.

Ivan and Aiden are discussing the company, while Jonathan plays with Alisa and Jenny in the park.

Only Anya and Raisa are left. However, they look like they are enemies because of Raisa's gaze on Anya.

Raisa's eyes bulged when she asked, "What do you mean by having a joint party?"

Anya laughed and answered on purpose, "I want to steal the attention from you and make you invisible at your own wedding. I'm bad, right?"

Raisa was angry when she heard that answer. "You finally admit it! You are really bad!"

"You are the stupid one. How could I plan like that?" Anya casually drank her tea.

"Tell Sister Maria that you don't want to have a joint party with me!" Raisa said with anger.

Anya laughs again. "During the event, how about you go out together with Brother Ivan and exchange rings first? Aiden and I will follow next."

Raisa was silent for a moment, "Are you serious?"

"Sure," Anya poured the tea in her empty cup. "I didn't intend to be the center of attention. I just don't want Sister Maria to be too tired. Her health is still not fully recovered. After Nico and Nadine's wedding, she went to the hospital without telling us."

Her words made Raisa blink her eyes over and over again. "I didn't know that Sister Maria was sick."

Anya looks at her and finally realizes why Raisa is so against this joint party. She is very innocent. She will not understand anything if she is not told directly.

"Raisa, being able to get married and be part of the Atmajaya Family is a tremendous blessing for us. Father-in-law is a very wise man. There will be no mother-in-law to oppress us. Sister Maria is very kind and thinks of everything for us," said Anya.

"Now, as the oldest woman in the Atmajaya Family, she has to take care of everything by herself. That's why I suggested this joint marriage. Do you understand?" She added.

Raisa nodded. "I understand, but I have a condition. During the wedding, Brother Ivan and I had to go out before you. And I also want to know what kind of dress you will wear!"

"Of course. You and Brother Ivan can go out first because you two are of higher seniority from us. After that, Aiden and I will come out. As for my dress, I will wear a simple one. After I choose my dress, I will show it to you," Anya said with a smile. "I already have children. It's not my time to compete with you. Don't worry."

Raisa looked at her suspiciously. If Anya is willing to give in to her, it means that all the attention will fall on her. She will never be compared to Anya.

She will come out before Anya with a much more charming dress and jewelry than her. She will occupy the main spot of the party!

"Anyway I don't want to be next to you!" Raisa emphasized once again.

Anya could only sigh from seeing Raisa's stubbornness. "After the ring exchange is over, Aiden and I won't be standing on stage anymore. You can reign over it,"

"Did Aiden agree though?" Raisa asked again.
