Fear of Marriage

Cousins William

Two more days are the most awaited day for the Anggoro and Karenina families. Two days later William and Karenina are getting married. Karenina's family is also already in Jakarta, they live in an apartment previously occupied by Karenina while Rara and Merry have returned to their rented house.

Preparations have reached ninety-nine percent, just waiting for the bride and groom to sit in the guarantee and everything will be one hundred percent.

Anggoro House has been crowded by relatives who come from various cities and countries to just greet Pearl and Sebastian and a little stale and then return to the hotel where they stay. Karenina is so tense waiting for her wedding day. Fortunately, Caca always accompanied him and invited him to tell him trivial things so that Karenina could slightly relieve her tension.

“Hai, Caca..”.

“Kak Stevi..” Caca stood up and hugged his cousin who came all the way from the Aussie.

“This is Brother, Sister Nina. His future sister William” Caca introduced Karenina to Stevi. This is the umpteenth time Caca introduced Karenina to her family who came.

Stevi looks at Karenina from head to toe, she assesses what a future wife of a William Anggoro who is the crown prince of the Anggoro business empire.

‘It turns out just a country girl, I think what William's future wife looks like. If it's just like this I'm much better than he’

“Where have you worked?” ask Stevi who is familiar with Karenina. Karenina had met many of William's family and there were only a few who received it well, the rest was just a stale base just to invite him to talk.

Like Stevi, she clearly showed that she didn't like Karenina. But Karenina was getting used to it and was able to adapt to the unpleasant circumstances.after this she and William's family who did not like it would never meet again.

“I work at Dimension” replied Karenina kindly and politely.

“Kok I never hear the name of the company, what company?”

“Contractor” replied Karenina briefly.

“Ohh, which university are you graduating from? Overseas or domestic?” the question was obviously to demean Karenina.

Karenina called a state campus in Jakarta, Stevi just nodded her head while forming the letter O in her mouth. Karenina simply swung her lips at Stevi's reaction.

Stevi went around the room that Karenina was in, she saw all the expensive items on display in the changing room. There are even those that are still labeled because Karenina has never used it.

‘Thankfully the woman of the village, could marry William. And how he can make Auntie just as Om likes her. He must be an accomplished licker’

“Definitely all this is bought by Aunt Pearl, right. There's still a label like this. You did not bring your goods from home”

“Iya, Brother. That's me the same mother that bought for sister Nina. Sister Nina had a lot of kok, but Mother gave all that to Kak Nina” Caca who represented Karenina replied, not only that, she also showed the jewelry that was purchased specifically for Karenina.

“This is a special order for Kak Nina, this is in direct message from Paris. I don't want my daughter-in-law to wear unqualified items. Stevi's sister saw this” said Caca pointing to a diamond necklace that made Stevi's eyes light up.

“This is only three in the world, and I managed to get one for Sister Nina” Caca upset that Stevi had only asked about things that made her brother-in-law feel low. Their family had never let down Karenina even though she was not from the upper class like them, why would others want to make Karenina feel unworthy to be among them.

Stevi doesn't talk anymore, she bails out knowing Caca is getting upset with her.

“Kak Nina does not have to serve people's questions anymore, let me be the spokesperson for Kak Nina” said Caca defending his sister-in-law.

“Whose is it?” Karenina only knows her name Stevi, but has no idea what her relationship with the Anggoro family is.

“He's his cousin's son Dad. Before moving to Aussie he used to play here, he used to love Kak Will. But Brother Will always said that they were brothers and there should be no more feelings. Stevi's sister became heartbroken and eventually moved abroad”

‘Wah, it could be included in the people who were hurt because of William. He will also take revenge on me. I'm traumatized by a sick person’

“Ca, later tonight we sleep together only yah” Karenina is afraid to sleep alone. She had imagined Stevi coming and strangling her like Ririn had done to her.

“Why, Kak” asked Caca astonished.

“I'm afraid, there will be a second Ririn”

Caca laughed at her, Karenina who was upset pinched Caca's shoulder because she was laughing.

“Nobody will hurt Sister Nina here, they're all scared of Dad. If I were aduin the same Mother all who have spoken insolently with Sister Nina, would immediately be sprayed by Mother. So Kak Nina don't worry about anything, Kak Nina is safe here”

Who would dare to hurt him if he was under the protection of the Anggoro family. But not without reason also Karenina is afraid, rassa trauma for the events that happened to her still not lost and sometimes she is still a nightmare because of the incident.

After Caca died, Karenina immediately contacted William and told him about Stevi. He complained to William how Stevi's question seemed to want to demean him. Starting from work, education to goods.

“Do not think, you will become stressed and sick. Just let Caca take care of it” William said by phone. They could not meet until the wedding day. Although they miss each other, but they must obey the rules that have been set.

“You've eaten?” william asked, it's eight o'clock at night, usually they've had dinner.

“Under there are still many people, Mom is still busy with her guests. I'm ashamed to go down to the bottom” said Karenina. Below is indeed being crowded by families who come from various regions.

“Nina, that's your home. You're the host now, you don't do what you want. My mother never forbade you either. Come down and eat, if you're sick how” William scolds.

“I also won't be sick just because I haven't had dinner yet, Will. I'm not hungry either. Uh, but you've eaten, haven't you?” Karenina asked back.

“Not yet, I haven't eaten from morning” Karenina who was lying down instantly woke up.

“Why, if you are sick how?” Karenina panicked, while William across there was just a smile hearing the rising intons of Karenina's voice.

“If you eat, I just want to eat”

“Th, William. Since when do you make this shit, yeah let's eat."
