Forced to Marry a Teacher

20. The Moon I've Ever Seen

When evening came, Astrid and Janus immediately prepared to go to the Baskara Sayuda residence. With his sports car, Janus took his wife to the house occupied by his grandfather and his parents. Astrid seemed nervous because after getting married, she had only first visited her in-laws' house.

During the journey Astrid several times exhaled her breath. She felt uneasy about the charade she was going to do in front of her husband's family. Because just yesterday he was playing in front of his mother, and almost failed due to nervousness in taste. Not only his mother who he had to lie, this time he had to go back to making lies in front of all family members of her husband.

How not to be nervous, he had to act as a romantic couple. While in hindsight, Astrid and Janus were not a couple who got along, almost every day they fought. Astrid is not a movie star who can play in front of the camera.

"Can't you just be calm. Don't be so nervous" said Janus as he drove his car.

"How can I calm down, I have to go back to the show. It's not even just one person we're dealing with, but there are four members of your family. While we are not a good couple. I just feel disgusted by the theatrics we do," Astrid said.

"I don't care what. I also feel like I should pretend to love a woman like you. If it wasn't for my grandfather, on the first day we got married maybe I would've divorced you."

"Men like you are more disgusting. Nyebelin, chatty, no soft-soft as women. Your poke is more disgusting" Astrid said, looking away at the street from her left window.

Janus shook his head. "Girls, the truest creatures in the universe."

And a few minutes later, the sports car driven by Janus has arrived at the residence Baskara Sayuda.

"Don't get out of the car. Anyway, before I open the car door, you don't go down first" said Janus after turning off his car engine

Then Janus got out of the car and immediately opened the door for Astrid. Like a romantic man in a movie, when the door opens Janus gives his hand and holds Astrid's hand.

However, just as Astrid gets out of the car, suddenly one luxury car stops next to Janus's car.

"Who is it?" astrid looked at Janus.

"Ga need kepo. Mending we just go straight into the house," said Janus smiling fake Astrid face.

Then when the driver got off his car, Astrid just found out who the owner of the luxury car. The other is Bayu, the older brother of Janus and the eldest son of Adit sayuda. However, there was one beautiful woman who also got out of the car.

Her beautiful face was familiar to Astrid. She smiled at Astrid and Janus. Who then walked up to them. As Astrid approached incessantly looking at her, from head to toe, Astrid was stunned by her appearance. The combination of dresses and heels makes her body look graceful. Anyone would be fascinated to look at him. Astrid felt insecure, comparing herself to her usual appearance and wearing only simple clothes.

"You must be Janus' wife, right?"

"My wife is Janus" replied Astrid.

"It turns out that looking up close is pretty too. Introduce me Luna, his fiancee Bayu and his close friend Janus," he said giving a hand to shake hands.

Astrid shook the hand of the beautiful woman named Luna. "My name is Astrid."

Astrid began to remember the photo she found in the morning as she cleaned her room. He realized that the beautiful woman in the photo was Luna. The beautiful woman standing in front of him.

However, there was one more thing that made Astrid wonder about Janus's expression that seemed taut as Luna approached before her. Janus just stood up and turned his face away as if something made him uncomfortable when Luna was nearby.

Janus walked in a hurry while pulling Astrid's arm. His grip was too strong making Astrid's wrist in pain.

"Can slow down anyway. It hurts a lot," said Astrid stopped her steps while forcibly removing her arm from Janus' grip.

When Janus's hand came off Astrid's arm, a red color appeared on her wrist. Janus looked frantically at Astrid's wrist.

"Sorry not intentionally" said Janus while massaging Astrid's wrist.

"Why was it suddenly exciting, so it was gini right," said Astrid with a look of annoyed face.

"Yes sorry, not so bad."

Then suddenly Luna and Bayu approached Janus and Astrid.

"Why is it still here?" asked Luna who then looked at Astrid's wrist. "Why is this? ko can be that red" he said as he touched Astrid's arm.

"You don't have to touch him. You better get in, Grandpa might be waiting inside" said Janus, throwing Luna's hand from his wife's arm.

Bayu sighed, grinning at Janus. "Basic rubbish." Who then pulled Luna's arm and brought her inside the House.

While Janus was still standing on the spot massaging Astrid's wrist with an annoyed expression that seemed to be holding back his anger.

"Are you okay?" ask Astrid.

Janus stopped massaging. "We'd better get in. Then he stepped foot into the house.

"What does this have to do with Bayu is fine" Astrid murmured as she followed Janus into the house.

Upon entering the house, Yeni appears to warmly welcome her eldest son and fiancee. Janus and Astrid enter the house, but he ignores her. Even when Astrid smiled at him, he looked thin and did not return Astrid's smile.

Astrid thought when the child and daughter-in-law visited the house would be welcomed warmly by a mother. But he was ignored as invisible as his existence. Unlike Adit, he had a flat expression, both to his eldest son and to his youngest son.

Adit approached Janus and Astrid. "let's go to the dinner table. Grandpa was waiting."

While holding his wife's hand, Janus set his foot to where the table was. When he arrived, Baskara smiled warmly at Astrid and Janus.

"Why did we arrive. Grandfather from earlier can't wait to see you."

"Sorry the cake was on the road a little jammed," said Janus while sitting on a chair that has been provided.

Baskara warmly welcomed Janus and Astrid. Having a conversation with the family that Astrid had hoped for earlier. In a house this big, only his grandfather expected Janus to come. Janus seemed to smile happily when he spoke with his grandfather, compared to earlier who looked sad when he stood looking at Yeni who was warm to his eldest son.
