She extends her hand to ZICO.
He takes it.
                           INDAH
                ZICO, please take good care.
He nods. NOT LOOKING.
Her husband nods to him.

He TURNS to the bride. Nods to her.

                 (motions for her to start)
                Please...
She stands STILL.

GASP echos.
ZICO turns his eyes upon the bride.
Their eyes MEET.
                            ZICO
                I just realized that you're the one who
                made me forget all my sufferings.
Tears are welling up in her eyes.
                            ZICO
                You gave me a present every day.
                With your presence. And for that,
                I thank you.
The bride's tears FALL.
                            ZICO
                I'm leaving now--
She COVERS her mouth.
                            ZICO
                But if you're willing to walk
                this road together, rise and
                fall together, just catch up
                with me. Before I step out...
                     (points to the door)
                            ZICO
                          (quivers)
                If not, I'd take it as a goodbye.
                Which you didn't get to say three
                years ago.
SLOW MOTION:
ZICO nods to the pastor. Turns around.
Heads toward the door.
Eyeballs SWARM on him.
The bride's in floods of TEARS.
