_Promise to love each other until death do us part._

The waiters are busy. They were cleaning up a house that had just been built. There are many trucks and large-sized freight cars in front of the house. Not a single person stood still. Everything works fast.
Not without reason they are busy.
This afternoon, young Lord Hardiswara and his wife will arrive at the new house. They will stay there, after 1 month of marriage.
A two-story house that is not too big, but looks elegant and comfortable. Mrs Hardiswara himself asked the house to be built with a size that is not too large.
Besides, they only live together. Therefore, Mr. Hardiswara does not need a servant in the tiny house.
The house was painted in white. All the items, furniture, and decorations inside are dominated by pink and light blue.
Two young colors are preferred by two young couples.
A large wedding photo is being displayed by two male servants. In the frame, two sweet-smiling bridal couples appear to the camera. The tuxedo and the light blue satin were perfectly attached to their bodies.
They look like a happy couple.
In the afternoon, a black sports car entered the courtyard. A man in a white shirt and knee-length jeans got out of the newly arrived car.
The brownish black iris, which has thick and flaky eyelashes, moves to circulate its neutrals around the house. The handsome man brushed his hair back with his fingers.
The man who was none other than Mr. Givar Hardiswara was breathing a sigh of relief at his new home that was ready to live in.
Givar has a tall strapping body with muscles in his arms and a box in his stomach. Her hair is brownish black. He has dark red lips. His nose was firm and a pair of beautiful female-like eyes, which were passed down from his mother, Yelma Hardiswara.
The owner of the full name Bumantara Givarel Tri Hardiswara was known to be very firm and cold. However, he would turn warm and silly when with his wife.
Givar looked in the car. He turned to the other door. His hand moved to open the car door. The man saw the beautiful woman with snow-white skin sleeping with both hands hugging a large pink teddy bear. The woman was none other than his wife, Shasha Hardiswara.
The man smiled as he tickled his wife's waist making the woman laugh with foresight.
"Don't pretend to be asleep, Snowy. I know, you want to be ignorant with me again. You think I'm gonna forget my little friend's habits?" The man said as he pinched Shasha's cheek.
"Loof," said Shasha, stretching out her arms like a baby. The man laughed at his wife's always spoiled behavior.
"There are many servants inside" whispered Givar as he brought his face closer. Shasha puffed her cheeks a sign of annoyance.
"Yes, here's a sling." The man relented while stretching out both his hands. However, seeing many people working in front of the house, Shasha shook her head with a laugh and got out of the car.
"Shame, ah."
They both walked towards the house. Shasha doesn't want to let go of her teddy bear. He hugged her tightly with one hand. The other hand held Givar's arm.
Some of the servants who worked looked over. For a moment they stopped working to say hello with a slight bow.
"Mr and Madame Hardiswara, welcome."
Givar nodded, while Shasha looked around. Their new home is flanked by two large houses about 15 meters away.
"Is it done?" Ask Givar.
"Here you go, sir."
Givar took Shasha into the house. The strong aroma of paint welcomed their arrival.
Shasha is fascinated by her new home.
"We should spray fragrances in this room," grumbled Givar as he flicked his hand in front of his nose.
"Well, look at the kitchen!" Shasha looked at the pink and blue kitchen furniture. Givar laughs. He held a light blue plate and a pink bowl.
"Papa really loves us!" Shasha. 'The 'Papa' that Shasha meant was Givar's father, Juan Hardiswara.
Givar's father and mother loved Shasha very much. It was because Givar was an only child, so his parents considered Shasha like their own daughter.
Shaquellin Adisilla Hardiswara, she has such white skin and a beautiful and innocent face. If people do not know him, they may think if he is quiet and calm. In fact, he is very cheerful and likes ignorant.
Because of his white skin, since childhood Givar has a affectionate call for him, namely snowy. Shasha called Givar a bunny, because the man had rabbit teeth, though not very visible. Uniquely, the nickname has remained eternal and unchanged since they were small until now.
Shasha and Givar's friendship makes them get to know each other. That's why they got married.
Yes, marriage without love, but marriage because of friendship.
Could that? I don't know.
Their parents also had a very good relationship. Seeing the familiarity of their son, both parties decided to match them both.
However, unexpectedly, Givar and Shasha cheered happily. They accept the decision to be arranged. Yeah, not an arranged, anyway. They accepted because they wanted to get married.
"Yeeee!! Marry!"
Their love journey isn't as complicated as Don't Leave Me, is it?
After taking a look at the room downstairs, Shasha ran up the stairs towards the room upstairs. Givar shook his head slowly to see his wife's spirit. He's catching.
Shasha opened the door and saw her room filled with teddy bears.
"Waaahhh, so many dolls."
Shasha got into bed and jumped up and down like a child. He extended his hand to Givar. The man jumped up and down while holding hands with his wife.
Finished with the event of skipping over the bed, the two passed into the kitchen.
Givar cooks for dinner. He's a good cook. Shasha who is not very able to cook just helps the potluck.
"Tomorrow you're starting to get to work, huh?" Shasha asked while giving the carrot to Givar. The man received the carrot and then cut it painstakingly.
"Yes." Yeah."
"You left me, dong." Shasha looks sad. Givar turned to Shasha and cupped her cheek gently, "I'm coming home, really."
After the cooking began to ripen, the two of them ate dinner greedily.
Watching TV is their next schedule. The two sat on a minimalist sofa while focusing on the glass screen.
It's just a comedy show that doesn't make them laugh at all. Both of them looked bored and lazy.
Givar stretched his body as he yawned, "I'm sleepy, just sleep, yeah."
Shasha nodded.
Givar immediately lay on the bed. Shasha was wearing a warm nightgown and wearing thick socks. It was pretty cold that night.
Seeing her husband lying down, Shasha spilled over his body***Givar's back with his back.
"Don't sleep first, I don't want you to go to bed first" Shasha said as she moved to wake Givar up.
Givar opened his eyes. He glanced at Shasha a little.
"Can't you sleep anymore?" Ask Givar. Shasha moved to the other side of the bed. He nodded slowly.
Givar pulls Shasha's body closer. The man hugged her. Shasha returned Givar's embrace while hiding her face around the man's neck.
"Why can't you sleep again? What are you thinking, Snowy?" Ask Givar.
"I don't know. I often feel things." Shasha looked up at Givar.
"Don't feel it" Givar said as he closed his eyes. Shasha shook Givar's body, "Don't sleep first, I'm afraid of being alone."
Givar opened his eyes again. They looked at each other for a moment.
"Bunny, you want to? When we were kids, you were at my house. Malemnya we watch a horror movie, the ghost is very cool. For now I'm afraid of that ghost" Shasha grumbled.
Givar laughed, "Yes, anyways you're watching horror."
"Abis."
"Well, the dead can't do anything, right?" Givar said as he closed his eyes again.
Shasha shook Givar's body while pouting resentfully, "Don't sleep first, I don't want to be the one who still wakes up alone at night."
Givar laughed, "Yes, you're sleeping game."
Shasha nodded then closed her eyes. Givar rubbed Shasha's hair gently.
Givar's gaze on Shasha turned soft.
After returning from Kyoto, Givar goes straight to the Gustiar family to see Shasha's condition deteriorate.
Givar sees Sarah Gustiar, Shasha's mother, sitting in front of the room where Shasha is with the psychologist. The man greeted Sarah. They talk a little.
Sarah admitted that her daughter always refused to be taken to a psychologist. If forced, the girl will go berserk.
However, it is fortunate that today Shasha wants to be taken to a different psychologist.
Givar got up while putting both of his hands in his pants pocket. He stood in front of the room. The man looked inside the room through the transparent glass door. Inside, Shasha is seen daydreaming in front of the psychologist sitting opposite her.
It seems that Shasha is so depressed. Before long, the girl went berserk at the psychologist.
"I'm not crazy!"
After her mother took Shasha to the last psychologist, the girl shut herself in the room. He did not want to eat, did not want to talk, and did not want to do anything.
As a best friend who knew Shasha well, Givar decided to take her to a psychologist he knew.
The girl did not refuse, as Givar reasoned to introduce someone to her.
He meets Shasha with a psychologist who is his own cousin, Amelia Evyaal Hardiswara at his home.
Shasha and Amelia spoke warmly. They are quickly familiar. It made Givar able to breathe a sigh of relief. Givar saw the girl showing a faint smile at him.
The man also smiled warmly.
Givar sends Shasha home to the Gustiar family's mansion. The man did not go home immediately. She made sure Shasha ate something, before she left the house.
After Givar persuaded her, the girl wanted to eat. Despite not saying a word, Shasha pointed out that she was fine.
After that, Givar returned to the Hardiswara residence. The man told Shasha to his parents.
Juan Hardiswara was saddened by Shasha, as was Yelma. They hope Shasha's condition continues to improve.
Givar tells his father if he wants to marry Shasha. The man wants to always protect his best friend and always be by the girl's side.
John and Jelma did not mind. Instead they were very happy, because they also loved Shasha. Although Shasha's circumstances are not what they used to be.
"Your namesake would be kind to protect Shaquellin, but.... What about your boyfriend? Are you going to break that good relationship?" Ask Yelma.
Givar seemed to think.
Juan let out a long sigh, "Think about how you all feel. You marry Shaquellin not because you love him, Shaquellin not necessarily love you, then you leave your girlfriend. This decision of yours is sacrificing three feelings at once."
Givar nodded slowly, "Only I know Shasha well. I can make him smile. Our love may come when we are together."
"A relationship built without feelings of love won't make you happy" says Yelma.
"Happiness is not just about love, but also compassion and caring."
Feeling no response, Givar again said, "I'll take care of everything well."
"Givarel, we need to talk to the Gustiar family first. They can't just take your decision for granted" Adam said.
Givar nodded, "Alright."
As Givar got up from the sofa towards his room, Juan said, "If Shaquellin accepts you, stop being a bad man."
Givar's move stopped.
It turned out that not only Amelia knew, her parents also knew what Givarel was like.
The man nodded his head.
The next day, Givar came again to Gustiar's house. He wants to see Shasha.
Sarah shook her head softly, "This morning she doesn't want breakfast. He locked himself in his room."
Givar asks permission to meet Shasha to the girl's room. The man knocked on Shasha's room door.
"Snowy, it's me, Bunny. Can I come in?"
There's no answer. Givar turning door knobs. Not locked.
The man walked in and saw Shasha sitting on the bed hugging her knees. He did not look at Givar one bit.
The man closed the door and looked at the wall. There's a picture of him with Shasha when they were kids. Givar smiled gently. Shasha is the Shaquellin she knows. The girl is still the same as before.
The man sat down next to Shasha and did the same, hugging her knees.
Shasha looked at him. The man also imitated what Shasha was doing. When Shasha blinked, Givar also blinked.
Shasha smiled, "Why imitate me?"
Givar was delighted to hear his little friend make a sound after everything he had passed.
"I love making you sprain" said Givar. Shasha pressed her shoulders.
Givar saw there was a frame facing down aka nangkub. The man thought the frame fell. His hand moving would justify it, but Shasha clasped Givar's hand.
The man felt Shasha's hands being so cold. Givar looked up at Shasha who was shaking slowly.
After that day, Givar often invites Shasha to talk. The man made Shasha cheerful again. They remember childhood well.
Shasha's situation is completely improved. Not only did Shasha talk to Givar, she also started talking to her family.
Amelia also did not think that Givar could get the girl through her difficult times easily.
"It turns out you have a warm side that makes Shaquellin happy" said Amelia. Givar gave an upset, "So, because of the cold cave, you think the cave is also evil?"
Amelia laughed, "Yes, you have had a bad reputation in girls' eyes since High School. Fucking venereological criminals."
"That was a long time ago" grumbled Givar.
Amelia rolled her eyeballs.
After the time was right, the Hardiswara family discussed Givar's wishes to the Gustiar family without Shasha's knowledge.
At first the Gustiar family felt a little doubtful.
"I'm very honored by what Givarel wants, but... Shaquellin is not what he used to be. I don't want her to be an imperfect wife to your son" said Adam Gustiar, Shasha's father.
Juan shook his head then said, "I'm sure, Givar has thought about this carefully. We love your daughter too. We want them together. That's if Shaquellin's gonna take it. If not, we're okay. Givar is also ready with Shaquellin's choice."
Meanwhile, Givar and Shasha are in the park. They enjoyed a warm afternoon in Jakarta.
Shasha looked up at Givar, "You wink, no. You learned to ride a bike. I taught you. But, you fall on."
Givar laughed, "Yes, because it keeps falling, I can't ride a bike until now."
Shasha laughed, "Father, besides you have a car, you don't have to learn to ride a bike."
Givar nodded with a smile.
Shasha looked at Givar seriously. Feeling noticed, the man turned to Shasha while raising both eyebrows.
"You're going back to Japan?" Ask Shasha. Givar seemed to think, "I don't know."
Shasha looks sad.
Givar rubbed Shasha's hair gently, "Why?"
"When you go, I won't have any more friends. You're just my best friend. You do know."
Givar pulls Shasha into his arms, "You're also my only friend."
Givar escorts Shasha back to Gustiar's residence. Shasha looked confused to see there were guests in her house, marked by the presence of a car parked in the courtyard.
It turns out that there was Givar's father and mother in the house.
"Hello, Shasha." Yelma hugged Shasha tightly like a mother. Shasha who was still confused returned Yelma's embrace.
"You're out for a walk, huh?" Juan asked as he rubbed Shasha's hair.
The girl nodded slowly.
"Darling, come here." Sarah who was sitting on the sofa patted next to him. Shasha stepped up to sit beside her mother.
Givar sat down beside Juan.
"Honey, Mama and Papa have talked to Mama and Papa Givarel. You guys seem close to each other. We were thinking, maybe you can be together in marriage. What do you think?" Ask Sarah.
Shasha seemed to think.
Yelma added, "You need to think about it carefully, son."
Shasha smiled, "Well I want to, Givar won't go to Japan again, will he?"
The four middle-aged men nodded compactly.
"Yes, yes, I want to."
Givar. He had not expected Shasha to accept it that easily.
"Yes!! Marry!"
~Bumantara Givarel Tri Hardiswara
&
Shaquellin Adisilla Gustiar~
A lavish wedding took place at the Gustiar family's residence. The light blue and pink themes became Givar and Shasha's choice.
Shasha looks so beautiful with a light blue satin wrap. His long hair was allowed to break. There is a flower crown that matches the satin she wears.
Same with Givar. He looked so handsome as well as cute, as he was wearing a light blue tuxedo.
They smile sweetly when the photographer gives a cue.
Many guests were present, including family and relatives, friends of Shasha and Givar, important people who knew both the Gustiar family and the Hardiswara family.
Regar Mahali, his best friend Givar since High School also present with Dion. They congratulated him and Shasha.
"I'm sorry the cave was married first" joked Givar. Regar shook his head quickly, "It's exactly a happy cave for you, Var."
"Wait aja, the same cave girlfriend cave must be followed, really." Dion voices. Regularly laughing, "Ah, I think he will marry first from the cave."
Dion nodded in spirit, "Sure."
After the wedding, Amelia delivers a message to Givar.
"Hopefully, you're not doing anything about Shasha for now. Or. it will make the situation become more down. Except, she's ready" said Amelia.
Givar nodded ready.
"Gua know, guys like you don't get this easy. But, the cave believes the same. Gua is sure, the more often you are together, the love will grow by itself. So, now you can only assume he's your best friend, even though you're officially husband and wife."
After the wedding, Shasha was in the bridal room. He opened all the gifts he got.
Shasha's room was decorated as beautifully as possible. There were many colorful flowers with scents filling the entire room.
Givar's in the room. He was wearing a white shirt and the same colored knee-length jeans.
Looking at Shasha who was still wearing her dress, Givar frowned, "Why haven't you had a bath yet?"
Shasha looked up at the man who was now her husband, "This part is late at night. Stay asleep. I take a shower to get out."
Givar raised next to his eyebrows, right too, huh. We will also not do anything.
Givar laid his body on the other side of the bed. The man closed his eyes. Shasha kept all the gifts close to here. He went to the bathroom.
When he heard the water shower, Givar opened his eyes. The man looked at the bathroom door.
Imaged by him, Shasha bathed under a water stub without using a thread. Soap foam filled his plain body. Water drops fell from her long hair.
Givar shook his head then turned his back to the bathroom door. The man tried to shake off his mischievous thoughts.
Not long after, Shasha came out of the bathroom in a nightgown. The girl slept on the other side of the bed while facing Givar who was behind her.
Shasha looked at Givar's back. While Givar was still in position, it had no intention of moving in the slightest. The man desperately held himself back.
The fragrance from his wife's body made the man almost go crazy. His mind and body are forcing him to finish it. However, it was fortunate that his heart was still in there participating in controlling Givar.
Shasha's soft hand touched Givar's arm. The man's heart was beating fast. He cursed himself.
Don't feel. Why is Snowy holding the cave?! Givar's screams in the heart.
"Bunny," whispered the girl who was now his legal wife. Givar swallows saliva. To her, it sounded like a sexy sigh.
"Givar," call Shasha. The man***sheet restrains his twisted desires and thoughts.
"Givar," call Shasha again. The man turned around while tightly grasping both of Shasha's arms. The girl was a little overwhelmed by her husband's response.
Givar stared intensely at Shasha. The desire in his eyes. Shasha looked at him in wonder.
"Bunny, I. want..." Shasha hung up her sentence while distracting her. It made Givar curious and impatiently wait.
"Tell me," said Givar quickly. Shasha looked back at her husband.
"Actually I'm going to say. You don't sleep first. I'm afraid I'll be the last person to sleep. So, I used to sleep, yeah."
Givar.
Shasha looked at him waiting for an answer from Givar.
The man smiled, "Yes."
Shasha was already adventuring in her dreams. Givar smiled as he tightened his embrace.
"Now I can't sleep."
