Fear of Marriage

Undecided

Karenina falls asleep exhausted in the car as William drives her home. All day William takes her around the zoo which William unexpectedly makes Karenina very happy.

The car was parked in front of Karenina's contract, with William unable to wake the woman.

“About ya?” he said when he opened his eyes. “Sorry yes, I overslept”, he continued. William's extremely gentle and deep gaze at her made him misbehave.

“Eh, hemm, I got off yah”, he said. William smiled very sweetly making Karenina even more wrong.

“It was me and Mom who wanted to take you out to try on a wedding dress at Aunt Miranda's boutique, but because you went on a rampage so it was off”, the pursed lips made William anxious and kissed her at a glance.

“Tomorrow noon I will pick you up at Dimension” he continued.

“But tomorrow I do a lot of work”, William is silent for a moment, he looks at Karenina intensely.

“Nina..”

“Heemm”

“How about if you take a leave first and focus on our wedding only, I can arrange it with your boss”

“Will, don't interrupt my work. You know that I really like my job. I can manage my time, I can focus on work and on our wedding too, yah”.

William sighed, “So after we get married you'll keep working?” Karenina nodded slowly.

“Alright, it's up to you”. Karenina could see a disappointed look on William's face, but she also loved her job.

“Mandi and rest, remember I'll pick you up tomorrow. I made a re-promise with Aunt Miranda so I hope you can take your time”. Karenina nodded, she kissed William on the cheek and got out of the car.

Karenina stepped slowly into the house after a long time standing in front of the door, in the living room there was Merry and Rara who were busy with their cell phones. The two women put down their phones when they saw Karenia walking over.

“Why the face in the bend so”, Karenina turned to look at the curious faces of her two friends.

“You fought with William this morning?” Karenina shook her head slowly. “Then why?”

“You know that I painstakingly found a job that I love?”, Merry and Rara looked at each other.

“I learned so hard just to do my job now and I love it so much. Meet a lot of people, my office friends and also draw. I like everything”.

It seemed like Rara and Merry had already begun to understand Karenina's intentions, Rara approached and sat down beside Karenina.

“William want you to stop working?” rara asked followed Karenina's weak nod in response.

“Invirectly William wants me to stop working”, he said more clearly.

“Then what's the problem, he can even buy Dimension for you if you want. I don't think it's a big deal” Rara's remark made Karenina surprised half to death. Karenina thought, Rara and Merry will side with her.

“I also after marriage will later stop working, for what tired of looking for money if anyone gives money”, continued Rara with a break.

“It wasn't you who said you wanted to give up your whole life to William, why are you hesitating now just because he asked you to stop working?” rara continued to lecture Karenina while Merry was silent.

“I just wanted to talk that time because it was too happy”, Merry chuckled, Karenina was like not Karenina.

“Already, just enjoy being a young Lady Anggoro. If you don't want to, I want to replace you as William”'s bride, Merry just came to talk, after talking even made Karenina pout.

The clock showed at one o'clock in the evening, the three girls had already returned to their respective rooms.

This morning it wasn't William who picked up Karenina, she had an important meeting early in the morning. Afraid of being late, William asked Farel to help pick up his future wife.

“Farel...William where?” karenina asked as she saw that the one who picked her up was not William but Farel.

“There was a meeting early in the morning, Farel replied. For some reason Karenina felt disappointed in her heart.

‘What is possible because overnight’, his inner.

Karenina was just quietly pensive throughout the journey, her mind was disturbed by William's request for her work. On the one hand he likes his job a lot while on the other he doesn't want to disappoint William. He must have chosen between William and his work.

“Again think what the hell, seriously not usually Karenina just silent like now.

“I heard from Aunt Mutiara that you are getting married well, congratulations well. William must have loved you to the point of marrying you. He definitely doesn't want to lose you”.

Karenina was transfixed, she was touched to hear what Farel had said. William loved her very much, William did not want to lose her.

“Someone is bothering your mind?” Farel asked again.

‘Ihh, Farel is interfering. I'd like to think’ again.

“No”, he said with ketus. Farel chuckled, just like that Karenina he knew.

“Mmm..” Farel glanced at Karenina from the rearview mirror.

“I heard from William that your wife is also a director at S&M, is it true?” asked Karenina, Farel nodded, Karenina can see it from the rearview mirror.

“You don't mind?”

“Karena?”

“Because your wife works and does not stay at home being a housewife like Aunt Mutiara”.

Farel laughed, his laughter made Karenina feel annoyed so she poked Farel on the shoulder.

“He's the backbone of the family, if he doesn't work who's looking for food for us. You know for sure that I don't have a job” explained Farel.

Karenina who was upset with Farel's words hit the man again, she knew who Farel was so even though he did not work even though he would not starve.

“Why do you ask that, Does William want you to stop working?” ask Farel who is on target. Seeing Karenina's silent reaction made Farel convinced by her conjecture.

“Ya already, just stop. Anyway you'll be a mistress, for what's still working”. Karenina doesn't want to subdue Farel, but instead gets busy with her own thoughts until the brand reaches Dimension.

Karenina was really worried about her choice. But knowing William's immense love for her makes him have to make decisions for their future. He was sure that if they didn't solve it now, this would always be a problem if they were married.

“William was willing to sacrifice for me, why don't I sacrifice for him as well. Besides, if I resign, I won't be unemployed, I have to take care of my food, cook, wash, clean. It might be nice too”, he said speaking to himself.

“Eh but... I'm lazy to cook let alone clean the house, huaaaa, I don't want to stay at home I just want to work outside the house.”.

Karenina continued to talk to him, until he did not realize he had passed through his room if only Mr. Rendra did not reprimand him.
