Getting Married Without a Relationship

Diner Problem 2

Nino lets Dara hold her hand, knowing she is terrified to see dozens of reporters gathered in the lobby. Nino takes Dara to the studio where Rei is now. When she got to the front door, Dara let go of the handle.

"Come in, Rei's inside" Nino said. Dara nodded. Clearly nervous on Dara's face, Nino patted Dara's shoulder trying to calm down.

"Don't be nervous. Everything will be fine" Nino said and went to the lobby to arrange things.

Slowly Dara opened the door in front of her. After it opened, he saw Rei sitting in front of the piano playing a song. Rei had not been aware of Dara's presence, this was the first time hearing the man sing. Unknowingly, Dara enjoys the voice and piano playing Rei. As the song was about to finish, Rei saw Dara's reflection in the mirror facing her, stopped the song and turned around.

"When have you been standing there?" exclaim Rei.

Dara. "Barusan," he replied clumsyly. Rei stood up and walked over to Dara. Unknowingly the man held his breath and his throat choked, he could not believe what he was seeing right now.

'Is she that girl? Why is she so beautiful?' Rei shook his head, trying to repel the charm of the woman in front of him.

"Why you?" ask Dara.

"T__no, it's okay," Rei replied nervously. Dara frowned.

"You wait here, I want to take care of something for a moment" Rei said and walked out of the room.

"Why him? Weird."

Rei went downstairs to Agnes' room. She did not expect that Dara would be so beautiful. Rei looked at himself in the mirror in Agnes' room. If he looks like this, then he is the one who does not deserve to be side by side with the girl.

"Why do you suddenly want to wear a suit?" asked Agnes while taking some suits.

"It's okay, just wanted to. Hey, this is the most important thing in my life. I should look good, right?" Agnes smiled, it felt like she knew what Rei had in mind. Usually the man is difficult when told to wear a suit even though it was forced by Mr. Robi.

"All right, I know. Try wearing this one!" exclaim Agnes while thrusting a gray suit.

"No, it's ugly."

"This one?" Now Agnes is thrusting the black color. Rei accepted it and then paired it in front of his body while reflecting.

"All right, this one's it."

Rei went to the dressing room. He wears a suit complete with a silver tie, and his pantofel shoes look very shiny. Rei smiled to himself in the mirror.

"Handara, prepare to fall on my charms" he said as he tidied his crest.

Dozens of highlight camera lights make Dara's eyes glare, he wants to damage his eyes but later his eyelashes are damaged. Dara and Rei were now sitting in front of a table containing dozens of microphones. Dara looked at the few reporters whispering while smiling at her. For God's sake this was like a dream, he had not expected in his life to deal with the reporters. Rei glanced at Dara silently, damn, the girl looks mediocre, but she had tried to look handsome, and she had thought Dara would be fascinated by her, apparently not.

Rei refocused himself in front of the reporters, cleared his throat ready to make a sound, then he launched his smile in front of dozens of cameras.

Dara secretly glanced at Rei, look, the man is very good at acting, he could smile like that. Yes ... If not good at acting he will not get an award as the best newcomer actor. That's what Nia said.

Dara slightly jerked suddenly the man held his hand while smiling, but from the look in his eyes Dara knew, he was acting and hinted Dara to be quiet just do not rebel.

"Good day everyone, thank you for coming here. Hm, I mean inviting you all here is to announce something. This month I'm getting married" exclaimed Rei to the point.

Instantly the room became rowdy. All the reporters looked shocked and savage like hungry lions and thirsty news. Rei and Dara are those soft dishes.

"Why are you suddenly getting married? Don't you have a boyfriend yet?"

"What date are you getting married?"

"Rei, can you introduce your future wife?"

"How long have you been in contact with your future wife?"

"Where do you know your future wife?"

Rei casually smiled in response to the onslaught of questions from the reporters. While Dara began to sweat cold and frightened. As if knowing what Dara was now feeling, Rei tightened his grasp. Dara turned her head to look at Rei beside her and Rei again smiled at him, no doubt now he felt a little calmer. And the smile of the man was like a helper angel in the midst of dozens of angels of death.

"I'll answer all your questions but I hope you can calm down. The first question is why did I get married? The concept suddenly is not true. Actually I had planned it long ago, you probably know now I'm building a house in the east Jakarta area. Well, that was one of my plans to get married, because there's no way I'll continue to live in an apartment especially if I have children. Actually all this time I've had a girlfriend, I deliberately didn't tell you because my boyfriend didn't want to be exposed to the media. So I'm sorry for the trouble."

The reporters smiled in amazement at the artist. Rei took a deep breath but his smile did not fade in the slightest from his face.

"Well, I'll introduce my future wife to all of you."

Dara took a breath and then exhaled at once. His chest was pounding violently, but he tried to hide it with a smile.

"His name is Sandara Triani Salim. He's a bank clerk, a graduate of S1 Banking Economics. He is the youngest of three children. He was three years below me. My future wife is most afraid of caterpillars" Rei said with a small laugh.

Dara looked back at the man beside her. 'Oh, my God, this shucks knows where all that is coming from?'

"I met him two years ago in Bali. We met there on vacation together. Funny thing is, he doesn't know I'm a famous artist. I wonder if there are still people in this country who do not know me? Miraculous indeed. From there I wondered, who was this woman until she didn't know me? After I found out, it turns out my future wife is very limiting her life with the world of entertainment, hurrah and so on. As we all become familiar with smartphones, he remains consistent with the Nokia 3315. He was educated in a good family and was very educated. I'm so lucky to get a nice girl like her. It's hard to get a good girl these days, isn't it?" Rei smiled back at Dara, for some reason now Dara felt nauseous seeing that smile. The man was truly a true actor, his style of making up the story was very convincing. Everything he said about Dara was true, except with a meeting two years ago in Bali. Wasn't their meeting just a month ago?

"Questions about the concept of marriage, and wedding dress, you can ask the WO and designer to be more clear. And the wedding date I'll tell you, anyway, this month. I think it's enough for today, thank you all for coming here."

Rei and Dara got up and left the reporters who still seemed to want to ask. Rei was still holding Dara's hand until they entered Mr. Robi's room. Somehow Rei felt that he did not want to let go of the hand, while Dara did not realize that his hand was still held by Rei because he was still nervous by the reporters.

Mr. Robi smiled as he patted Rei and Dara on the shoulder. "You guys did well. I'm sure the response will be very good from the community," said Mr. Robi relieved.

"Rey, the reporters are gone. Let's go!" Suddenly Nino barged into Mr. Robi's room. Rei looked at his watch then nodded.

"alright. I'll go first" Rei told Mr. Robi. Rei turned towards the door, but Dara remained standing in place. Rei and Nino's steps came to a halt at the door.

"Hey, what are you doing? Come with me!" exclaim Rei to Dara.

"Where else, we have to go to our wedding dress designer. Shouldn't you be measured?" Rei was a little upset. Dara.

"Oh. But by the way, I have to change clothes first."

"no need. Now the shirt is yours. Just take your uniform," Rei said and walked away.

Nino smiled at Dara and said, "Come on Dara."

After they left the room, Mr. Robi sighed while shaking his head. It seemed like he had to have a serious talk with Rei so that he could treat Dara well.

Just an hour after the press conference ended, the news immediately became a headline in the online media and became a trending topic in the tweeter. It's quite unexpected, seventy percent of fans support Rei's marriage. While Rei was busy replying to the chat of his friends Nadine asked this news. And Rei asked them to shut up. Nadine can't tell from anyone else. Let him solve the problem with Nadine.

Nino quickly reported the news to Rei, who is now busy with designers.

"Rey, check this out!" nino said while propping up her smartphone.

"It's really amazing. Know it? Your decision to get married is truly brilliant. Your career will be fine and I can predict your career will be even more brilliant." Nino springah.

Rei nudged Nino with his elbow, he was afraid that Nino would say things that others should not know, because there was Prama and his assistant.

Nino. Then he lowered his voice. "You know? Your future wife is also talked about a lot of netizens. They were curious about Dara. I'm sure in the next few weeks you and Dara will be the hot couple of this country."

"Hey! Why are you whispering in front of me?" prama shouted while clucking his waist, but his face was not really angry.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

"No. The problem is that if a famous artist like me, everything will be a tranding topic," Rei said casually, there was as much a haughty tone in his voice.

"Couldn't you?"

"Yes, I know. I was alone until shock when Nino called a wedding dress message for you. You're so mean to Rei, keep this red from me" Prama said.

Dara who just finished being measured by assistant Prama finally said, "Happy, if your career will be better," said Dara cynically.

Is it true that Rei's career will be even more brilliant? While after the marriage and the child was born, it will be a turning point in a terrible life for Dara. She will be a widow and single parent for a child she did not expect. Isn't life like that horrible? Dara felt this was unfair!

Nino codes Dara with her eyes, Dara knows what that means. Prama frowned, he smelled something was wrong between Rei and Dara.

Rei cleared his throat, he was worried that Dara would come out and speak no-no.

"Darling, shouldn't you pray for your future husband? If my career is getting better, it will be good for us, automatically my income will also go up. Especially if you already have children, today the cost of child education is increasingly expensive, right?"

"That bill." Prama nodded in agreement.

"Yes, all right," said Dara half-heartedly. Rei smiled infuriatingly at Dara. It felt like Dara could not bear to linger there with the man. Dara raised her hand to look at the clock.

"When it's done, I want to go now" said Dara. The three men there compactly opened their eyes at Dara.

"Go? But, we have not discussed what the wedding dress design and recipe," said Prama astonished. Dara sighed while smiling at the designer.

"I trust you, you'll make me the most special dress. Everything I leave to you, 'cause I'm gonna love whatever you make me." Prama lulled, for life only this time he found such a customer. Prama feels between flattered and astonished, the customer trusts him completely, and it makes him feel challenged to make a spectacular outfit with all his ability. Especially this is for the wedding of a class artist Reindra.

"Alright, I will try," said Prama steady.

"Thank you" said Dara and left. Rei was still dumbstruck when he saw that Dara would open the door and leave. Then he blinked and shouted, "Hey...!"

"What?" Dara looked up.

"You're really going?" rei asked a little annoyed and unwilling.

"Yes, why? You want to go too?" Dara asked back while putting on a plain face. Rei sighed, he realized, why would he hold Dara away? I don't know, but Rei feels like he still wants to be with the girl.

"T__no. Yes, you go there! Don't forget tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? What's?" ask Dara confused.

Rei turned to look at Nino, seeing Dara's expression like that, he was sure Nino had not told him. Nino blinked and said, "I'm sorry Dara, I forgot to tell you that tomorrow will be a preweding photo. Tomorrow Mr. Agus, Rei's driver, will pick you up at 7 am."

Dara was caught off guard, the man went back to doing something without asking her first. Already upset finally Dara can only say, "WHATEVER! Do whatever you want." At that time Dara just wanted to quickly go and leave the annoying man. Dara slammed the door and disappeared.

After Dara left, Prama looked at Rei with concern, "Hey, are you guys fighting?" ask Prama.

"No," Rei replied firmly.

"Then, why is Dara like that?"

"He's just an PMS" replied Rei of origin. Nino held back a laugh hearing Rei's reply. How can women get pregnant with PMS, Nino thought.

"Yes, women are complicated creatures" Prama said.

"Pram I'm sorry, ordered the shirt suddenly and it should be finished in two weeks. I'm really not good with you. But, I believe you'll get it done in time because you're a great designer."

"Shut up! Hhh, you're such a jerk, Rei. You're making me stay up every day from now on. But whatever it is I'll do."
