Everyone who gets married wants a happy and lasting life. However, sometimes mistakes in choosing a partner can actually cause divorce and separation. For example, what happened to me.
My marriage to Arnold was wrong from the beginning, because I was stupid for misrecognizing people. But now I will not be wrong again in making a decision. I've agreed to marry Andreas in the near future. And now, he began to prepare everything. I'd really like to help her. But, he said that everything would be a surprise for me. That guy is full of surprises.
Today, I accompanied Merry to check her contents to the hospital. All right, I did a routine check-up on my illness. It didn't take long until we were finally done and returned to the Merry teahouse. It turned out that there, Angelica was waiting. He seemed busy with his laptop.
"Hey, what are you working on?" My toot.
"Common college assignments, soon to be done. Let's sit down." Said Angelica while patting the bench next to her.
"You guys sit down. I'll grab a drink first." Merry.
"Udah, don't bother. You're pregnant again." Reply Angelica.
"Udah is okay. After all, pregnant women can not move at all right." Merry walked straight into the kitchen, leaving me with Angelica.
"So, when are you planning on getting married?" Ask Angelica
"I don't know for sure. What is clear is that I have agreed with Andreas whenever the show takes place. Now he's preparing everything." My reply.
"Hmmm my brother really likes to surprise."
I agree with Angelica. Andreas is the kind of guy who likes to surprise me, maybe not just me. But to everyone he loves.
"Can I ask you something?" Angelica.
"Of course." My reply.
"How do you think Brother Andreas is until you want to marry him? Sorry I didn't mean to offend you. You've failed with Arnold before. Even though it was from the beginning in fact you were wrong to marry people. But eemmmm essentially what kind of nature do you like about Brother Andreas?" Ask Angelica.
'Is he testing me? Or was Andreas asking him to ask?'
I smiled at Angelica and began to answer her questions.
"Andreas is consistent and has integrity. Men who are consistent and have integrity can be a good companion to life. Consistent I mean that he can love me and fight for the relationship with all his heart. He has no toxic properties that could easily break our relationship. Good integrity is also shown by the mindset that is in line with me and can do it in real." My answer.
"That's it?" Ask Angelica again.
"No. There are many others."
Merry came carrying a tray with 3 drinks on top. Behind Merry caught a waiter who brought us a cake as our friend chatted.
"Totally serious. What the hell is that talking about?" Merry asked while sitting next to me.
Angelica then tidied up her laptop and Merry slowly put drinks and cakes on the table.
"Here, the future sister-in-law again interrogated me about her brother's nature." My reply.
"Udah finished?" Ask Merry again.
"Yet. Velicia just explained the 1 trait that Brother Andreas has. He said there's more, so I want to hear next." Answer Angelica.
"If I may, I'd like to hear it too." Reply Merry. "Oh yeah, but by the way, why are you asking this. Do you have any doubts about Velicia?"
"It's not. I just want to know Velicia's assessment of my sister. So that I can know later what is the example of a good man's attitude for me to marry. And that man should have an attitude like Brother Andreas." Reply Angelica.
"Mmm, yes, I have. Let's go Veli again. While drinking and eating his cake too yeah." Fresh Merry.
Me and Angelica nodded at the same time. After drinking Merry's green tea, I resumed speaking.
"Andreas is a man with a clear life plan. This is what will determine the future of my household and her into the future. The plan was already full of preparation and he seemed committed to living with me. The point is Andreas is a visionary figure, so he can also consider circumstances that may occur outside expectations. Of course dong for a woman like me, having a partner like her will be very soothing and valuable. So I won't waste the chance to be his wife. Moreover, I have previously failed 1 time." My speech.
Angelica and Merry are muttering.
"Then?" Said Angelica while eating a piece of strawberry cake brought by Merry. Angelica is a strawberry lover.
"He is a man who wants to grow up together. That is, he will continue to support all my choices and activities that can help us grow together. He won't hold back the potential that's within me. In addition, he will not easily give up on his dreams because he also always wants to improve his capacity. That way, we can continue to support and remind each other of good things so that our small family can continue to grow together."
"Mmmm so sweet." Merry was busy munching on her favorite chocolate cake.
Pregnant women this one does not seem to have symptoms of cravings or morning sickness in early pregnancy like pregnant women usually. He stayed relaxed by freely eating whatever he liked.
"Next, Andreas is a man who accepts flaws and is open. He can accept all my shortcomings can also be a good companion."
I have a lot of shortcomings. Especially in the future, I won't be able to give him any offspring.
"Andreas is also a responsible man. It is this nature that will continue to guarantee my condition to remain safe and comfortable. He was also always on alert under any circumstances to protect me. In addition, the nature of the responsibility it has also made me appreciate the commitment we made. He wouldn't be willing to hurt me, let alone with unimportant things like cheating."
"Waahh, Andreas is indeed a dream husband." Merry. "My Hansen is more or less the same as Andreas." Merry continued to grin.
I smiled and held the back of Angelica's hand.
"I'm sure someday you'll find the best man to be your life partner. But remember one thing, looking for the right figure to establish a life-long household life is not easy. Understand that everyone has different traits and characteristics. However, make sure your future partner has traits like your brother so that your home life will be happier and more lasting." My speech.
Angelica smiled and nodded towards me. I hope that this girl will also find the same life partner as her brother. And may she take the lessons of my failed life in the rush to make the decision to marry Arnold first. I don't know who Arnold is.
'Hopefully this time my marriage to Andreas will be my last.'

In the afternoon, after returning from the Merry teahouse I stopped by the pharmacy to buy painkillers in accordance with the prescription drugs given by the doctor.
When I came out of the pharmacy, a male figure I never wanted to meet was standing at the door of my car.
"Hey. How you doing?" Ask Arnold.
"Please move. I'm going through." My reply.
"Come Velicia. Take a minute to chat with your ex-husband."
"Sorry, I don't have time. Please step aside quickly because I still have a lot of other business." I tried to reach the car door.
Arnold grabbed my wrist hard.
"Velicia...."
I must be strong, I am not a weak woman. I can't let Arnold bully me anymore.
"Take me off." I tried to pull my hand violently. "I don't have time to mince words with you. I'm going home. You better take care of your pregnant woman. Why are you approaching me again."
"Oh so you're jealous of Viona?" Arnold said as he let go of my hand.
"Well! Of jealousy? Wh-wh-what for? I'm getting married. And you, of course, realize that the love I showed you back then was simply because I thought that you were Andreas. I never fell in love with you. I'm just obsessed with Andreas." My reply made Arnold's eyes turn red.
"Velicia...." Arnold was gonna yell at me.
"That's enough Arnold. Do you think, by sending me a little gift and a confession of your innocence it could melt my heart and make me come back to you. No. gabe. It never will. You're just a mistake I've made in my life. So now please step aside before I shout and make people huddle here. And you must have been trying to harass me." I threatened Arnold.
"You're that...."
"What's? You don't believe it. All right you asked." I was about to scream, but Arnold quickly got out of my car door.
"You know yourself too." I said as I got into the car.
"Listen to me Velicia. I'll never let you go. You'll just be mine." Shouted Arnold.
I don't give a shit anymore. I drove my car away leaving him babbling. Really a stubborn guy. I think he gave up. Actuallyno.

The days passed...
I heard from Andreas the wedding preparations have reached 90 percent. Soon the day we have been waiting for will be done. Arnold's been tailing me lately. He did everything he could to ruin my marriage to Andreas. There was even news that he banned all hotels in the city from renting us a place to have a wedding.
'The man has gone mad.'
Every day, when I leave the house. I even asked Andreas to hire a bodyguard for me. Because I'm afraid Arnold will do something reckless. Because I caught him stalking my house a few days ago. Until I decided to ask Andreas to hire the services of a guard at home.
'Lord, please bless my path to marry Andreas.'
Seriate....
