Black Swan's

The After Marriage (Fourty Nine)

        “Cheerss!”

Ting

            Eden raised his clear glass high and exclaimed softly at Aciel who was sitting in front of him quietly. The night after their grueling wedding party, the two of them choose to spend the night sitting opposite each other in Aciel's room, then telling stories while accompanied by a bottle of champagne. But in fact it was only Eden's desire, Aciel never wanted his first night to be filled only with stories of their lives so far without doing a hot struggle in bed. But again, this is Eden's request. The queen's mother today is not in contention. And as a husband, Aciel just follow Eden's wishes without wanting to prolong the problems between them.

            “You tired?”

            “Hmm, of course. You make a very excessive party.” said Eden while pouring a refreshingly flavorful clear brown liquid into his glass. The two of them are currently still wearing their wedding clothes completely without the slightest bit of feeling sultry or uncomfortable. Eden felt affectionate about releasing the million-dollar dress that was ordered by Aciel from one of the famous fashion houses in Paris. Moreover, she felt very pretty wearing the dress, making her want to continue using it all night.

            “Kurasa no. I've waited a very long time for this wedding party, so it's appropriate that I make it very excessive. You're making me have to be patient for six months just for the sake of this party, do you think I'm just going to make it so simple? And now you just missed our first night.”

Plaques

            Eden hit Aciel's arm slowly and slightly gave the man a sharp look. Always the things about the bed that became a scourge for the man. Can not their lives not only filled with bed activities. Even during this time they have often done so. And of course it was because of the coercion of the brown-eyed man, Aciel.

            “I'm surprised by the contents of your head? Besides the office business, is that all you've been thinking about?”

            “Maybe. I think it's the normal mind of an adult man.” replied Aciel casually as he sipped his champagne deliciously. Tonight for the first time Aciel felt relieved and also happy. His bad thoughts about Eden leaving him and keeping him away from Ciara are gone. He was sure that she would no longer disappear from his sight, and would continue to see every time he opened his eyes and every time he wanted her by his side.

            “When did you do the first ***?”

            “You sure you want to know?” coda Aciel sucks. It felt like Eden was hitting Aciel's head with a clear glass that she was holding as the man's head started to approach her. But he managed to control himself well, so he just pushed the man's chest away without hurting him in the slightest.

            “I'm sure, very sure! I need to know that just in case your sex partner returns one day.”

            “Cannot be. He is dead.” Aciel replied suddenly, making Eden surprised while looking at the man demanding an explanation.

            “His name is Kim Shiho, he was a cheerleader at my school when senior high school.”

            “Ah.. I've guessed. You can't date a woman carelessly. So, what's with Kim Shiho?”

            “Overdose. After we dated for two weeks, I caught him using heroin in the school warehouse.”

            “Then? You're still dating her?”

            “I decided. Even though I'm a brandal jerk, I've never liked drugs. And one month later the school got word that Shiho had been found overdosed in his apartment. But his life could not be saved because he had used too many illegal drugs.”

            “Oh, it is very terrible.” comments Eden briefly while sipping his drink again. And while he was preoccupied with his drink, Aciel infuriatingly continued to look at him with his brown eyes.

            “What's up?”

            “You don't want to take off your dress?”

            “Why? I'm fine with this dress. I feel beautiful when using it.” kekeh Eden happy. Seeing the sweet smile of Eden, inevitably Aciel also smiled while pulling Eden to sit on his lap.

            “You're always beautiful. Even without using a single piece of cloth, you also look very beautiful.”

            “Oh... Thank you Mr. Aciel for your flattery, but I know what you really want.” Eden's reply was a little fierce. He then forced Aciel to remove his hand from his waist, and after that he settled himself next to Aciel. Meanwhile, Aciel only let out a small sigh at the behavior of his wife who still put on a defensive mode even though they have now officially married before God. The man then snorted furiously while restoring his hair that was no longer neat. “If you knew why you were still showing a defensive attitude? Remember if now I am your husband, I should have rights over you.”

            “Even since the dawn of time you have monopolized myself for yourself Mr. Lutherford.” reply Eden fierce. He felt that Aciel was too demanding of him to do more while he still wanted to enjoy their post-wedding moments a little warmer with Aciel. Isn't life just about the bed?

            “So, how is our life after this?” eden asked quietly while sighing long. Sometimes he feels strange with his life turning sweet like this. Even after living for more than six months with Aciel, he still felt strange. He seems to have to spend more time with Aciel so that he is more accustomed to the sweet attitude of the man.

            “What are you really thinking? We've agreed to close all our bad memories in the past Ed.”

            “I don't think about our past, I think about our future.”

            “Moreover what you need to think. I really don't understand the way you think Eden. Live as usual, like Eden I've known.”

            “Ck, you don't know how I feel. I haven't visited my mother yet after we had a little argument back then. And surely mom has seen our wedding news on television.”

            “Then we will visit him after I finish my work at the office.”

            “Hmm... Lady Angela is a very nice person.” whispered Eden while coiling spoiled in the arms of Aciel. At the end of the day, his emotions are unstable. Sometimes he will be very spoiled for Aciel, but sometimes he will also be annoying to cause a fight.

            “I'm happy if you finally find a mother figure who really loves you.”

            “Ace, you haven't told me about my father. You still hide a lot of secrets from me.”

            “Today I don't want to tell you anything. Better we sleep now, or do you want to do the first night with me?”

            “Ck! I seriously. But fine if you don't want to tell me, I won't force it. Ace, can I drink it? Just slightly. Please, it will not make me drunk, even though I really want to get drunk.” Eden said like frustration. Since then he continues to glance at the clear glass of Aciel which is still filled with a little champagne. As for hers, she had since only drank apple juice that tasted too boring for her. He wanted his first night to spend with a bottle of champagne and they ended up getting drunk together. But Aciel ruthlessly removed all alcoholic beverages from him. Even at the reception party he had to be satisfied with just a glass of orange juice and water.

            “Look at your bloated stomach. You want to poison my future son? If something bad happens to my son, you are the first person I will blame.” furious Aciel is upset. It had been more than four months that she became very possessive and fierce in Eden because of the pregnancy of Eden who had entered the fourth month. This was actually out of plan because Eden had never thought of conceiving before her wedding day. But unexpectedly, he actually contains very quickly because of Aciel who touches him too often. Or because it is too fertile? I don't know, forget that ridiculous thought of Eden.

            “I will not ruin my own son. Besides I just want to feel it a little, it won't affect him.” Eden replied with a frown. Again his emotions changed, making Aciel have to be extra patient in the face of Eden.

            “Have it, you better sleep baby. I'm getting tired of hearing your noise.”

            With a sudden movement, Aciel immediately lifted the body containing Eden ala bridal style and brought Eden to their bed filled with sprinkles of rose petals.

            “Hoaammm.. I'm sleepy.” whispered Eden lunglai in Aciel's sling. Pampered he leaned his head over the chest of Aciel's field while tightly draping his hands around Aciel's shoulders. With a gentle gesture full of caution, Aciel put Eden on the bed, then he also threw himself beside Eden.

            “Sleep, I'll take off your dress while you sleep.” whispered Aciel raucously with a sneaky smile printed clearly on her face. But Eden did not care and immediately closed his eyes peace. Sometimes her pregnancy makes her tired so quickly that she does not want to do anything but laze in bed. And tonight it looks like it's like that too. After having a silly argument with Aciel, then whining at the man, he wanted to immediately close his eyes without thinking anything. Even Aciel, or the man's perverted nature, would sometimes season him as he slept.

            “Ace... mmm. You can do anything, but don't bother me. I want to sleep..” muttered Eden slowly before she actually fell asleep with Aciel's soft caress on her head.

-00-

            “Mommy... mommy..

            Eden muttered softly while trying to open her heavy eyes. Ciara's extremely loud scream made her beautiful dream completely broken. And he was forced to leave his comfortable warm bed immediately.

            “What's the matter dear?” ask Eden lazily. Before shaking off the thick blanket wrapped around his body, he took the time to glance at his clothes first. Just in case Aciel hasn't put his pajamas on as usual. And thankfully it turned out that the man had dressed her in a cotton pink pajama that was very comfortable for her to sleep in last night.

            “Cyo sightseeing.” invite Ciara spirit. But Eden's response was just the opposite. He is lazy today to do anything and just wants to laze at home. After all, why would he go with Ciara if Aciel still went to the office as usual. Their marriage yesterday was like a drama that seemed like a pretend. The meaning of marriage is like not yet felt by Eden because of their lifestyle so far that not much changes.

            “Walk? Mommy is tired baby, look at your sister does not want to go anywhere.” point Eden on her stomach as an excuse. Usually this will work to silence Ciara from her noisy whining.

            “But Ciara wants to go sightseeing. Daddy also wants to go.” Appoint Ciara suddenly on Aciel. I don't know since when the man had been standing at the end of the door observing his two extremely adorable women.

            “Ace, don't you go to work?”

            “After we get married? Just be right!” reply lazy Aciel. He's not that crazy guy. Sometimes he still has a human side that makes him also want to spend all his time with his small family.

            “Ciara wants to get out a breath of fresh air, let's get up.”

            With a slow step Aciel approached Eden, then reached out his hand to help the woman stand up. But instead of welcoming him, Eden just silently looked at the man coldly, then ignored Aciel just like that by inviting Ciara to speak.

            “Honey, but mommy is tired.”

            “Daddyyyy..”.

            Ciara started to let out her loud screams to tease Aciel. And inevitably Aciel must force Eden so that the woman does not make Ciara let out her ear-splitting voice.

            “Come Ed, your son started whining.” snorted Aciel while lifting up Eden's body and was about to take her to the bathroom. But Eden immediately shouted and asked him to lower it in front of the bathroom door.

            “I know what's inside this little head of yours.”

            “What?” challenge Aciel with a shitty face. He almost teased Eden once more if Eden did not decide to run away and immediately locked the bathroom door tightly.

            “Your mother is strange.”, said Aciel to Ciara who has been busy observing her parents' childish attitude. Even Aciel became infected with the childish nature of Eden, although at this time his age had stepped on the head of four. Oh, he really is an old man now.

            “Daddy, are we going to take Uncle Sian?”

            “Sian? Why are we taking that ugly guy princess?” ask Aciel astonished. It seemed that his daughter was crazy about the lonely man Sian, because almost every day, after work, the man would come to play with Ciara until the little girl fell asleep exhausted.

            “But uncle Sian is now under.” replied Ciara plainly. Aciel walked towards the second floor guardrail to see the man below. And sure enough, when he bent his head down, he could see Sian was tidying up Ciara's puzzle scattered.

            “Sian, what are you doing in my house, again?” ask the lazy Aciel. He felt too tired to see the face of Sian always around him. The man really looks very miserable after Aciel and Jessica finally decided to end their single life with their loved ones.

            “I'm looking for Ciara, where's my pretty niece?”

            “Uncle Sian! I'm here.”

            From the second floor Ciara waved her tiny hands while also looking at her like Aciel. Seeing that Aciel directly carried Ciara and kept her little daughter away from the guardrail that looked dangerous to her.

            “Let's go down.” take Aciel with a kiss on his daughter's face. Now slowly he has turned into a warm man who is no longer as me as he once was. Ciara has brought many changes in her life. And turns out to be a warm man and a family man is not as bad as he imagined. He really enjoys it now.

            “You didn't go to the office?”

            “You and Eden are the same. What if I don't go to the office? I'm the one who's supposed to ask you, don't you go to the office?”

            “I'm on holiday.” replied Sian casually. He simply ignored Aciel's sharp gaze which no longer had any effect on him. The friendship he had for decades made him know Aciel better than anyone else knew.

            “Go to the office, we will go visit Zyan's parents in California.” tell Aciel as well as expel Sian from his home. But instead of leaving, the man took his place on one of Aciel's sofas, then sat there leisurely.

            “Tumben, what Eden asked for it.”

            “They haven't seen each other in a long time. Dan Ciara would definitely like to meet her grandmother.”

            “Ah, you're right. You both have no parents. So Ciara only had a grandmother from Zyan's side. Then hurry up and go.”

            This time Sian who actually drove Aciel to leave quickly, while he himself actually enjoyed his day off by relaxing on the comfortable gray sofa Aciel. Sometimes having friends with very close relationships will be as troublesome as Sian.

            “Oya, where's Eden? I haven't seen him since I came. Did you.... eat it savagely last night?” sian asked narrowed his eyes.

            “Eden? He's there.” point Aciel at the end of the stairs. There Eden had just stepped down from the last step before walking towards her small family who looked harmonious.

            “Sian, are you coming again?”

            Sian immediately snorted furiously when he heard Eden's question, followed by a wide laughter of Eden who seemed satisfied because it managed to make Sian upset.

            “You are a cruel couple. Lucky Ciara didn't inherit your annoying attitude.”

            “Uncle, we recommend uncle Sian go home because Ciara will go with mommy and daddy.”

            Instantly Eden laughed out loud laughing at Sian's playful expression that immediately frowned, and Ciara's sinless expression that knew nothing about adult affairs.

            “Listen to what Ciara said, you really should have left. You have to find a partner so you don't end up miserable like this Sian.”

            “Oh, how's that sexy dancer Sian doing? What's her name, Katarina Jones?” god Eden ignorant. Sian further frowned in annoyance. After he became the bully material of Aciel and Jessica, now Eden and Ciara also compactly tease him. Oh, this is really bad luck for him. And where did Eden find out about Katarina Jones? Did Aciel tell you that?

            “ That striptease dancer I think fits you perfectly. You who like to play around will not be able to struggle with the fierce attitude of Katarina Jones.” added Aciel satisfied. Finally he can corner Sian and silence Sian's wide mouth that is always chatty.

            “Already Sian, you are indeed better to make that woman as your future wife. Isn't she a sweet woman? Well... although he has a job as a striptease dancer and once teased Aciel.” Eden's lyrics are stale on Aciel. He himself sometimes gets annoyed when Aciel casually tells of naughty women who deliberately tease him out there. And as a wife, she should always be prepared to deal with the non-knowing.

            “Already, you guys are really a terrible family. I'd better go home. Have fun, and don't forget the souvenirs for me.”

            Finally Sian chose to leave and leave the small family with an amused laugh that had not disappeared from their faces. Teasing Sian is indeed one of their own satisfaction for them. And especially Aciel. He was very happy to see his friend suffer.
