Fear of Marriage

Come again

Farel was already in front of Karenina's house this morning, he had already told William about what happened. William is upset not to play with his mother, he asks his mother to immediately correct this misunderstanding so that Karenina does not hate her mother.

Instead of obeying William's interest, Pearl even still wanted to play a little with the woman he had set as his future son-in-law and strictly forbid William to interfere. William could not wait to go home to accompany Karenina to face her mother's pity.

Karenina greeted Farel with a bright smile, Farel was confused for her. Yesterday he saw Karenina was so angry, he thought Karenina's anger would last for days like women in general when she was angry.

“Ayok”, Karenina opens the car door and sits sweetly while Farel is still standing next to her car astonished by Karenina's behavior.

“You were there or I was walking, I was already late” for more than a few minutes but Farel still did not get into the car until Karenina called him and made her consciousness again.  

“Ohh, yes. Sorry”, Farel got in the car and drove his car to Dimension.

“You're not angry?” rather than being curious, Farel finally asked.

“Anged? karenina's forehead wrinkled “because?”

 “Because of her mother William”

“Hoo” Farel glanced at Karenina from the rearview mirror, her face looking very relaxed like nothing was stuck in her heart.

“I do not keep it in my heart, not important”, he said sniffing his shoulder.

“You're not serious about William?” Farel certainly thought that way, Karenina looked very indifferent even after Pearl blatantly told her to stay away from William.

“Seriously no, no messing around either. Just live as it is, like flowing water” he said. Farel breathed, really he could not guess Karenina's mind. She thought maybe Karenina wasn't serious about being in a relationship with her cousin.

While Farel knew that William was really serious about the woman behind him, William never treated a woman like this if she wasn't special to him. The same thing William had done to Ririn, but William's attention this time was much greater to the point that William asked Farel to take care of his woman.

They arrive at Dimension, Farel who is upset with Karenina for thinking only toying with William immediately drove his car as soon as Karenina closed the car door.

Farel did not know that last night William had given him words that calmed his heart.

“I'm sorry my mom, don't put it in her heart whatever she tells you. I will go home soon and accompany you to see my mother. Wait for me, I miss you”.

After receiving a message from William. Karenina forgets all Pearl said to her and only remembers what William said. He kept smiling all the way like a man in love.

Meanwhile, Halim, who already knew where Karenina worked, had been waiting for Karenina in front of the Dimension building since then. His handsome face quite caught the attention of the Dimension employees passing in front of him. He stood leaning against his car with black glasses perched at the base of his nose.

Initially Karenina was very fascinated with her handsome face, that was the main reason to make Halim her lover at that time. Besides being handsome, Halim is also very affectionate and considerate of him. Over time, Halim becomes very possessive.

Karenina is his prisoner. Wherever Karenina went, Halim had to be with her and vice versa. Karenina felt her freedom was forcibly taken away. He is not even free to hang out with his friends.

Go to Halim's lecture that drove him, Halim's lecture home also picked him up. If you can't meet Halim will call her all the time, not to mention a video call before bed even until one of them overslept. Karenina can only feel her freedom when she decides to leave her hometown.

When Karenina first set foot in Jakarta, that was when she felt true freedom. There is no Halim, no aunt who always troubles him. Karenina really lives like a bird that is free to fly anywhere. There was no one to regulate it, no one to forbid him from being friends with anyone.

“Kok hasn't come home, wait for an invitation?”, asked Rendra, Karenina has been saying goodbye to him since half an hour ago.

“Pak, nebeng can not”, Rendra squinted his eyes are not usually Karenina want to come in his car.

“Pliss” says Karenina by clenching her hands together. Rendra then nodded. “Ayok”, said.

“But may I wait in front of the door aj” Rendra observed his expression that looked panicked.

 “You want to hide from Mr. William, indeed Mr. William has returned from outside the city”, Rendra reflexes walk out and look for where William is.

There is an important file that desperately needs William's signature as soon as possible, which is why Rendra really hopes William can go home and sign some documents that still concern their cooperation.

Rendra's eyes accidentally caught a man who looked very cool looking towards the door where Rendra was standing at this time. He then returned where Karenina stood.

“Who is he? Why are you scared like that?” Rendra guessed that it was the man Karenina was avoiding at the moment.

“Long story, which obviously I can not meet with him”,

“Ya already, you wait here I take the car first”.

Karenina looks down as Rendra's car passes Halim who is still waiting for her in front of the Dimension building because the glass of Rednra's car is not too dark and can still be seen from the outside.

“Already passed”, said Rendra saw Karenina who was still down even though her car had passed Halim.

“Huhhft”, Karenina rubbed the sweat on her forehead.

“I got off here aja Pak”

“Let me drop by at home”. Karenina looked at Rendra. He was surrounded by good people who cared about him no matter who he was and where he came from. Friends in the office and friends at home no one ignored him when he was in trouble, they would all always be there to lend a hand and help him selflessly.

Like now when he wanted to avoid Halim, Rendra helped him without asking this and that much.

“If she bothers you, let me know as soon as”, Karenina nods, she runs into the house as Rendra drives her car.

“I can't stay here anymore, I have to leave immediately. She must have known where I live”.

Not finished his surprise because of Halim, Karenina's heartbeat almost stopped when he saw the guest who had been sitting sweetly in his living room.

“Mrs Mutiara”, she said in a barely audible voice. Beside the Pearl were Rara and Merry, on the table was a tea that seemed to have been drunk in half, also there was a pastry sent from Rara's parents.

It seems like Rara and Merry serve their distinguished guests well. But didn't Karenina tell Merry how the real Pearl was, how she haughtily offered him some money to leave William. But why not look annoyed at the look on Merry's face.

The three women turned towards Karenina, Pearl cleared her throat then put back the mask she had worn when she first met Karenina.
