Fear of Marriage

Will you marry me

Karenina leaves the kitchen in a mess, William does not protest and patiently cleans the kitchen.

“Will help me, do something so Halim doesn't bother me anymore”. They were sitting in the living room, playing a movie but not actually watching it.

“I already have a way for him not to bother you anymore, and I think that's the only way”, William smiled smirked especially seeing Karenina who nodded her head in agreement without hearing what his plan was.

“I agree, whatever origin he really went from my life”

“You have agreed, so can't refuse any more”, Karenina again nodded with certainty.

“But I puya one condition?”

“What?”

“You have to stay here taking care of me and my apartment, Bi Mar is old, pity that he is still working”.

Karenina sighed, “your terms are too heavy, I can't quite”, she said folding her hands over her stomach.

“Yes already if you don't want to, I don't force you either. But I'll be a spectator when your ex-boyfriend drags you home”.

“True, then I'll go to the place where you and he won't find me. You and I will never see each other again.

Karenina then got up, she intended to take care of all her things and go as far as possible. There was a bit of disappointment in his heart seeing that William was unwilling to help him.

“I'm just kidding, why do you like to take my jokes seriously”, William pulled Karenina's hand so that she fell on the couch.

“You mean? You want to help me?”

“There may be I will let that man take you away from me, no one can separate me from you Karenina”.

Karenina was silent for a moment, she looked at William with a strange gaze and pelted the man with the cushion of the sofa after realizing that William's previous remark was just a joke.

“I think you'll really leave me”, William laughed out loud at him.

“You're really stupid, can't you realize how I really feel about you?”. Karenina was silent, she did not answer. She can see and feel how deep William feels about her but is still reluctant to admit it.

“So what's your plan?” they had fixed his sitting position, the cushion of the sofa that had flown back into place. William sniffed his shoulders and focused on the big screen in front of him as if he was seriously watching.

“Will...” he said tugging at William's arm.

“I'll tell you my plan when I take you to see my mom”. Karenina shook her hands while shaking her head.

“I don't want to meet your mother, she will definitely throw me out as soon as I see me. I don't want”, imagining the look of looking down on Pearl that time gave Karenina goosebumps. If he could, he would no longer want to meet the Pearls.

William stroked Karenina's long hair and looked at her affectionately then smiled meaningfully, he couldn't wait to meet Karenina with his parents. His heart was ready to choose. She felt very happy this morning, when she woke up early to see the woman she loved beside her.

William wanted to feel this moment every day, where the woman he loved was always by his side, sleeping beside him and eating with him every day. William wants to bind Karenina forever, but will Karenina be willing?

As the day wore on, William was in his study while Karenina was replying to a message in her office chat group. He was lying on the couch in the living room accompanied by a bowl of his favorite vanilla ice cream. William had gone to buy her after she whined like a child.

William's office door opened, he didn't lock it just shut and Karenina didn't come in because she didn't want to kill William. The man found Karenina asleep on the couch with her mouth slightly open and her hair splintered to the floor.

 William fixed his head and covered it and went to the kitchen and made dinner for the two of them.

“What are you cooking?” Karenina wakes up, she falls off the couch because most of the style was during sleep.

“Mandi there, abis it eat”, do not listen to William instead pull a chair and sit sweet.

“Eat first, take a shower for aja”, he said. “ini you are cooking?” ask again. William had already served two spaghetti dishes on the table.

“I was going to make a steak, but the meat turned out to be finished cooking what was aja”

“Yes, after eating we shop aj”, William nodded, they both ate with Karenina who did not stop praising William's cooking. Though it is only spaghetti whose ingredients are already available in ready-to-eat packaging.

The door of William's apartment continued to be knocked impatiently, Karenina who was cleaning the kitchen ran out and opened the door. Then he took a few steps back a moment after opening the door.

“Why stay there, let's go to” take Sebastian. Karenina walked behind Sebastian by lowering her head.

Pearl was already sitting on the sofa with her legs on and arms crossed over her stomach, Sebastian was just shaking his head to look at her.

“You've come”, William out of the room with a more fresh appearance. She kissed the cheeks of her parents then pulled Karenina sitting next to her.

‘William's mascudine is indeed waiting for his parents. He asked his parents to come when I was here. Basic William jerk’.

“Sorry I just introduced you. Dad, Mom, this is Karenina my future wife”. The pearl got up, picked up the cushion of the sofa and beat William with the pad.

“If the employees in the office don't fuss about your lover, we won't know if you already have a future wife”

“Bu, shy at see Karenina”,

“You too, why not introduce yourself as his future wife yesterday, huh?”.

Karenina opened her mouth wide, just before the door Pearl put on her fierce face now she saw the woman like a chatty mother because she loved her child.

“Even so don't hide anything from your parents” Sebastian commented, he glanced at Karenina and gave her future daughter-in-law a warm smile.

“I'm sorry Mom, forget anything she said to me yesterday. It was just an introductory sign from him”. Said Sebastian again. The pearl shifted William and sat down beside Karenina.

“You're not mad at Mom, are you?”

“I-mom??”

“Iya, Mother. Who would you call who”. Karenina looked at William questioningly, the lover sniffed his shoulder with a smile.

“I told you, My mother is not what you imagined” was, said William, who was sitting next to Karenina again.

After talking for a long time, Sebastian and Pearl finally came home. They had forced Karenina to stay with them because they did not want to be slandered if they were found to live together without ties, Karenina of course rejected it, she said, he could imagine what kind of person he was living with the Anggoro family.

Sebastian and Pearl release them after William whispers something to his parents.

“Don't do things outside the limits”, Sebastian insists before leaving the pair.

“I don't think your mother is as good as it”, they're already on the bed. William was still busy with his laptop, Karenina sitting leaning on the head of the bed beside William.

“Will, I'm talking to you”, William is still quiet, his fingers are still busy dancing on his laptop keyboard. Karenina clucked in annoyance and pulled the blanket over her body and slept on William's back.

“You've slept?” William finished with his work, he had already kept his laptop on the nightstand.

“Hei”, ,

“Job alone, I want to sleep”, said Karenina ketus.

“You don't want to know what my plan is?” Karenina turns her body “What?” said curious. William brought his face closer and gave a glimpse of Karenina's lips.

“Married to me”.

“A-what??”

“Nina, will you marry me?”. Karenina blinked her eyes many times, she got up and fixed her seat on the bed.

“Married?” his question once again convinced his hearing. William nodded for sure.

“You don't have to answer now, but I hope you can answer me as soon as possible. I love you”. William kissed Karenina's forehead, the woman was like a statue that had no reaction at all. William had already pulled the blanket away from Karenina and fell asleep first, although not yet fully asleep.

‘Married? With me?’ Karenina saw William sleeping on her back. He let out a heavy sigh and then dropped himself back beside William.
