I Want to Be Loved

Chapter 2

"Well"

The great hall bears witness to Keanu's new relationship with a girl. Not with Amel, but with the girl of choice of both parents named Arabella Anastasya Prayoga.

Keanu didn't want the wedding because he still loved Amel. However, Keanu had no other choice. The meeting between Amel and his parents was canceled because Amel denied it. Her boyfriend did not come and did not know where he was going. Keanu's been looking for her. However, one month after the search, Amel was not found. The time that his parents had given him was up, leaving Keanu with no choice but to marry Bella.

The ijab qobul event has been completed. Now Keanu has officially made Bella as his legal wife.

"Congratulations, son. May your marriage last" Felicia said.

How can it be lasting? We got married without love and were forced to.

"Indeed, right now you're not in love with each other. But Mami is sure love will grow between you later" Felicia said.

"Mami sure enough," said Keanu softly, but could still be heard by Felicia.

"Of course Mami is sure. For example, Mami is Papi. We married without love. But look, our marriage is lasting! Even two more years of marriage we even turned 30 years old," Felicia said half whispered so as not to offend her besi.

"But Keanu is not sure, Mam," Keanu said.

"You're not sure because you still expect Amel to come, are you?" ask Felicia.

Felicia did not need to hear a direct answer from Keanu. Seeing from the look on Keanu's face and silence, Felicia felt sure her eldest son was still hoping for Amel.

"Mami really hope you don't disappoint us" Felicia said. "What do you expect from a girl who doesn't want to marry you."

Felicia and Keanu's chatter came to a halt as her besieging, Adi Prayoga raised her voice.

"Mrs and Mr. Kenzo, thank you for accepting my son as your son-in-law" Adi said.

"Thank you for entrusting your only child to be our daughter-in-law. The first time I saw Bella I was sure that Bella was the right woman to accompany my son" Felicia said.

"Thank you Mr and Mrs Kenzo" Adi said.

"Now we have become besan. Don't call us that" said Kenzo.

"alright. How about I call you guys 'besan?" adi said.

"That's better" Felicia said followed everyone's laughter. "Yes already. Bella, Keanu, you guys get into the dressing room fast."

"With room? What's up, Mam?" keanu asked in surprise.

"Change clothes, son. You will attend your wedding reception" Felicia replied.

"Oh." Keanu and Bella ria.

"What else to say. It's still afternoon, Nak Keanu," led by Gio.

Keanu forced himself to smile. He glanced at Bella, the woman next to him was indeed quite beautiful, but Keanu had absolutely no intention of touching Bella.

"Mommy's gonna take you guys," Felicia asked.

"That's better, Mami Feli," said Bella.

Time has shown at seven o'clock in the evening. A magnificent feast awaits Keanu and Bella. Obviously the wedding reception was to be grand, as it was the first wedding feast of the fourth descendant of the Master Teacher and the first grandson of Rivaldo Giovanni Ferdinand.

The joining of Prayoga in the family of Pramuja is like a pillar that further strengthens their family. The two families agreed to match their children on a business basis. Apart from that because Felicia likes the cheerful personality of Bella.

Keanu and Bella walk into the ballroom. Rain of red rose petals accompanied their journey to the seleaminan. As they walked, Bella wrapped her arms around Keanu, she was afraid of falling because of the high heels she was wearing was quite high.

"Can you get rid of your hands!" keanu ketus. "I'm feeling uncomfortable with what you're doing?"

"Do you think I should hold on to you? I was just afraid of falling" Bella said. "If I fall, you'll be ashamed too."

Also true.

"Whatever!" keanu.

"Good, you better shut up! Don't say much and nag" Bella replied.

While the newlyweds were arguing, the host asked Bella to do a procession of throwing flowers. Bella and Keanu quickly do a procession of throwing flowers as well as other events. Both according to him, not because they feel happy doing all that. They were forced to do so so that they could quickly leave the place.

The party is over after the fireworks. Keanu and Bella are told to quickly enter one of the rooms in the hotel that has been transformed into their bridal room.

"Don't forget to quickly love us grandchildren" Adi's message said.

"Papa, don't rush dong. Bella still has to finish Bella's lecture first," Bella said as she pursed her lips.

"Yes, Honey. We were just kidding," Felicia said as she rubbed the side of her daughter-in-law's face.

Neither Felicia nor Kenzo demanded at all for Keanu and Bella to have a baby soon. Given that marriage is intertwined on the basis of matchmaking. They'll need time to get to know each other.

"I went to the room first. I feel so tired" said Keanu.

"Keanu, wait a minute." Adu prevents Keanu from leaving.

"What's up, Om? I mean ... Papa," asked Keanu.

"I know you still haven't fully accepted Bella. But ... I beg you to take care of Bella. He is my most precious treasure" said Adi.

"Hmm." Keanu nodded half-heartedly.

"Thank you, son Keanu," said Adi.

No more talk, Keanu back by pulling Bella.

The most luxurious room in the hotel will witness the first night of Keanu and Bella. Once on the fifth floor, Keanu exited the elevator still pulling Bella's wrist. The man continued to step while grumbling without seeing Bella who was in pain because of her actions.

Bella herself had no other choice but to follow Keanu. His wrist was firmly grasped by Keanu. Not to mention the pain in his legs due to the high heels he wore. Feeling not strong anymore Bella gathered her strength in order to escape from Keanu.

"Deliver!" Bella rebels and manages to escape from Keanu's clutches. "Are you out of your mind? We just got married and you've done the KDRT on me!"

Keanu actually accidentally pulled Bella even to the point of leaving a red mark on her hand. The annoyance that was still left in his heart made Keanu unconscious.

"Don't crybaby! I'm tired!" Keanu turned around and stepped away from Bella like a man who had no feelings.

Bella herself was stunned in place while rubbing her wrists that still felt hot. Bella blew her wrists while holding back her tears. The girl did not expect that the man who became her husband turned out to have no feelings.

If Bella had not thought of her father who had been a single parent when she was a child, Bella would never have accepted the match. Bella wiped the tears in the corner of her eyes. After that he followed Keanu to the bridal room.

Arriving in the room, Bella again made surprised by Keanu's treatment.

"You sleep on the floor! I'm not going to take a bed with you!" Keanu throws pillows and blankets right under Bella's feet.

"Just kid! I don't want to" declined Bella. "Originally you know! In my house I was treated like a king's daughter."

"I don't care! If you want to go back to your parents' house!" keanu.

Bella felt impatient to face Keanu's arrogant attitude. With rage ready to explode, Bella stepped forward in front of Keanu.

"Hey! On what basis do you treat me like this? Do you want to vent your anger because the girl you love left you?" said Bella. "It's possible that he chose to leave you because that girl couldn't stand your arrogant attitude either and chose to go with another man."

"Shut up! What right do you have to make a bad comment about me!" Keanu grabbed both sides of Bella's face. "Amel is not like that."

Bella is undaunted by Keanu's attitude. With all her might, Bella removed Keanu's hand from her face.

"Same as you! What right do you have to be with me!" bella said with a challenging look.

"You!" Keanu clasped his palm to hold back his anger. "As far as you are! Do whatever you want to do. But remember! Don't try to get close to me."

"No way!" reply Bella.
