Fear of Marriage

Arrival of guests

Karenina the arrival of an uninvited guest, she was surprised to see who was sitting in the living room waiting for her.

“Kia..?” he said to clarify his vision, what is it that his cousin suddenly came to Jakarta and met him. Since when did his cousin count him as a human. Ah, surely because soon Karenina will be married to a prince so who used to not think of her as a family now instead come looking for her and instead claim to be her cousin.

“Kia, what are you looking for me?” said Karenina with expensive selling pretentious.

‘You are the one who hates me the most in this world, because I took your father’

“There is nothing, I just want to visit you, ” replied Kia still with her cold nature to Karenina.

“I saw the news in the media, so I stopped by. Are you okay?” Kia looked at Karenina, the woman looked fresh and her face was radiant.

“Looks like you're fine, I'll go home first then”

“Eh, wait a minute. You're from Lampung and you're just here to ask me how I'm doing? What medicine have you taken?” Karenina certainly could not believe that her cousin was worried about her.

“I live in Jakarta now, just two weeks ago. I work here” he explained to Karneina. Karenina is shocked to hear that her cousin is now in the same town as her.

“Where do you live?” ask Karenina. However they are cousins who grew up together, Karenina's care remains even though Kia was never kind to her.

“Why, you want to invite me to stay here”

‘He's still jutek as usual, meaning he did come here to ask me. Ah, why am I moved’

“No, I mean I can come visit you if there's a time”

“No need, I'm busy. I went home first” when Kia was standing, Pearl suddenly came. The middle-aged woman had just come home to buy some jewelry for her daughter-in-law.

“This is who, Nin” asked Pearl because she had just seen Kia for the first time.

“This is Kia, Mom. Cousin Nina, her son Om Malik” replied Karenina.

“Oh, do you want to go home?”

“Yes, Auntie” replied Kia politely. Karenina glanced at her cousin. Kia was indeed an educated woman, as well as her manners were better than Karenina.

“Awhile, we have dinner together” said Mutiara offers Kia for dinner together. Kia glanced at Karenina intending to help her tell her future father-in-law that she couldn't come to dinner like Pearl had offered. But Karenina just sniffing her shoulders made Kia very upset with her.

Kia is an introvert type, she does not like the crowd. He also doesn't like gatherings. She prefers to be alone, read books and listen to her favorite songs.

‘Think this is my revenge because you were mean to me. Well even though I understand why you're mad at me’

Eventually Kia had to stay longer at the Pearl house. Karenina takes him to her room which was once William's room.

“Why are you always lucky, anyway. You got my father's affection, and now you get a new family that loves you” said Kia while observing the spacious room. Karenina's things were also neatly arranged and everything was new. Clothes, sandals, shoes, bags and jewelry are all new. All of that was prepared specifically Pearl for his daughter-in-law.

“Maybe because I was a abused child so God gave all this in return for my patience with you and your mother”

Telak, Karenina's answer can not be returned by Kia. The woman only sneered but in her heart she confirmed what Karenina said.

“Meanwhile you also have to be nice so you can get someone who loves you sincere” says Karenina wise-ass.

“You want, just take” said Karenina as Kia held a brand new bag. Kia hurriedly kept it.

“Why are you nice to me, let's just say we never get along. I've always scavenged you, why didn't you throw me out when I came back?”

“I do not want to ruin my happiness by remembering the past, after all we are brothers. I never grudged you” Karenina really has a kind and sincere heart.

‘You're good, Nina. You deserve all this.’

A waiter came and called them to dinner. Karenina ran to see William in the living room talking to his father. He sat beside William with his leisure when Sebastian was there.

“A long time?” asked Karenina, William kissed her forehead “Just” she replied.

 Karenina then pulls Kia's hand and introduces her to Sebastian and William. Kia bowed politely to Sebastian as well as to William. He looked very embarrassed to meet these two great people. Just as Sebastian was taking them to sit down to chat, Pearl had already come calling them all for dinner.

After an awkward dinner for Kia, she then bothered to go home to everyone.

“You're here what ride?” ask Pearl.

“Nail motor, Aunt” reply Kia. Pearl looks worried a girl riding a motorcycle alone these nights. Mutiara then ordered her driver to follow Kia to her house.

“Is he good to you?” william asked, pulling Karenina to sit next to him. Karenina squinted her eyes thinking whether Kia was nice to her or not.

“Which is obviously in dislike of me, it's only natural that I took half of his rights” William and sebastian frowned, Pearl and Caca looked busy looking at the fhasion magazine.

“She's the only child, she should be able to get a lot from her parents. But since it was me, he had to share everything with me. And perhaps the least he received was me taking his father”

“You mean?” ask Sebastian.

“Om Malik always braces me from Kia. Om Malik also gave me a lot of stuff, and it always made Kia jealous even angry at me” explained Karenina.

“You don't hate him?” ask Sebastian. Karenina smile.

“Tadi Kia also asked like that to me” said Karenina. Everyone was silent waiting for the answer.

“I don't hate him, I told him I don't want to ruin my happiness by remembering all the bad things I've been through. I want to live my life happily, with William.”

William smiled proudly at the ocean-wide heart of his future wife.

“You did not choose the wrong wife, Will” said Sebastian who also agreed Pearl.

“Kak Nina cool. If I were Nina, I would have kicked her out of this. I also want revenge like in novels, to make him lose his job and suffer for the rest of his life. Aawww”

Caca's speech was gifted with a pinch by a Pearl.

“Who taught you like that?” pearl Word.

“In the novel I read, Mom. The female lead is revenge on everyone who has hurt her when she was successful.”

Everyone just shook their heads with Caca's answer.

“You read too much novel” said William smiling warmly at his sister with Karenina sitting next to him.
