It Turns out I'm the Second

Ch.40 To the party

Tonight Gathan and Nanda will come to a wedding of Lavina's best friend's son. At first Nanda was confused and nervous because this is the first time to come to the wedding party. He thought that the style of partying of the rich was extraordinary. Nanda was confused, he did bring a dress given by Lavina but whether the dress was suitable to be taken to the party, not to mention he did not know how to make up. She was once bought a makeup set by Lavina but everything was destroyed by Freya so she only brought powder and lipstick.

Asik was busy daydreaming, suddenly a pair of burly arms wrapped around Nanda's stomach and waist, making Nanda gasp.

"Mas, just ngagetin." sizzled Nanda while pursing her lips.

"What daydream, hm?" gathan asked right next to his ear. Gathan's warm breath that hit the ear to part of his neck made Nanda crumble.

"That ... that ... " Nanda was self-effaced by Gathan's breathing in his ears and neck.

"What, hm? That's what is it?"

"You are confused about what clothes to wear ... Nanda can't dance. Go it alone! Nanda ... Nanda was embarrassed ", said Nanda, bowing her face. He feels insecure about himself. Moreover, he felt that he was just an ordinary person and did not deserve to be at a party of rich people like that.

Gathan smiled faintly and then kissed Nanda's temple.

"Come on!" Gathan takes Nanda's hand and invites her out of the room. Gathan's room is a presidential suite consisting of two rooms, a living room, a parlor, and a balcony. Gathan takes Nanda out of his room to the living room.

When she was in the living room, Nanda widened her eyes when she saw the many dresses hanging on the display hanger. There had also been seated a few people whom Nanda did not recognize at all who they were.

"They ... who, mas?" nanda asked puzzledly from the frown formed on his forehead.

Gathan smiled and pulled Nanda closer to the men.

"They're boutique officials mama's acquaintances. You just choose which dress you think is suitable. Make up is also a matter of ready mama. So you stay in order." Gathan said to make Nanda widen his eyes.

"This ready-made mother?" nanda asked with surprised eyes.

Gathan nodded faintly and pinched his nose in an agony.

"You're my mom's favorite daughter-in-law so everything is ready. I was shocked when they all came. It turns out they've all been diballing the same mama."

"Mama emang is the best." praise Nanda with sparkling eyes.

Gathan sighed, "Emang is the best. Mas to the point of confusion, which mama's son mas what are you anyway?" Gathan shook his head.

Nanda chuckled amusedly at Gathan's inexhaustible expression.

"Yes mama mas lah, if mama Nanda no longer exist in the world." he said with a smile. Gathan nodded then glanced at Nanda's sad-looking face.

"Sorry."

"Sorry for what? It's not wrong. The reality." Nanda smiled, though not as wide as before.

"Mas help Nanda choose a dress! Nanda was confused as to which one. Understandably, the wife of this mas is a hick. Never wear expensive clothes or dresses. The toy is 3 pieces of 100 thousand." he said as he approached the display hanger. Then some boutique employees help Nanda in choosing.

Gathan frowned when he heard the phrase '3 pieces 100 thousand? how's that dress?' Then Gathan remembered the types of clothes Nanda often used first. Although lately Nanda began to wear nice clothes that might be given by the mother, Gathan's heart suddenly slipped. He as a husband felt so negligent for his little wife. Because during marriage he felt he had never given anything to his wife. Not even a dime he had ever given.

Gathan approaches Nanda who is choosing a suitable dress. Then Nanda's attention fell on a navy-colored dress with no sleeves that were over her ankles. The dress seemed to be made of silk it looked simple yet elegant. Then Nanda grabbed the dress and showed it to Gathan.

"How is this, my man? Doesn't it match Nanda?" ask Nanda to Gathan. He did not ask good or not because all the dresses hanging were dresses from famous boutiques so it was definitely good.

Gathan watched him while holding his own chin.

"It's good that his back is too open. Try to find something like this but the back is not too open." Gathan told the boutique employee.

Nanda flipped the dress and was surprised. She was completely unaware that the dress had her back exposed.

While waiting for Nanda to finish dressing and changing clothes, Gathan first checked some of his work sent via email. After that, he prepared. Nanda's face that is basically beautiful does not require a lot of makeup strokes. As a result, the time needed is not too long. Coming out of the dressing room, Gathan gasped when he saw a figure sitting relaxing on the living room sofa. Her eyes could not blink to see how beautiful Nanda was in the white dress. His white skin became even more shining.

...Nanda Afrika...

"You're so beautiful, baby. Like a princess.* praise Gathan as she grabs Nanda's hand and kisses her. Not forgetting he kissed Nanda's forehead and lips made Nanda blush in shame.

"Thank you, mas. Fortunately Nanda is not stupid so still understand what is mas said." said Nanda while chuckling. Gathan chuckled at it.

Then Gathan stretched out his hand, and Nanda welcomed it by wrapping his hand into Gathan's arm. They went to the hotel ballroom where the party was held. Luckily Lavina booked a room in the same hotel where the party was held so they did not have to rush there. With a friendly embrace, Gathan and Nanda enter the party.

The party was grand and luxurious. At first Nanda was nervous when she first set foot inside. Gathan squeezed Nanda's palm while giving it tranquility. Gathan smiled gently making Nanda's nervousness disappear.

"I'm here so don't worry" whispered Gathan made Nanda's face meet red.

The arrival of Gathan representing Ganindra and Lavina was certainly warmly welcomed by the host. They also praised Nanda's beauty as Gathan's wife. In pairs of eyes seemed to look in admiration at the couple. Some of the guests already recognized Gathan as the only son of Ganindra so they took turns greeting Gathan as well as congratulating their marriage.

"Hey, look! That's Gathan Adriano Tjokroaminoto with his wife."

"Ho'oh's. Cc ... Freya until now still brags that she is the wife of Gathan. If there's evidence like this, he's still saying no?"

"Eh, is Freya really lying? Because he also once showed me a photo of him hugging Gathan that way. It means he's not lying. Couldn't that girl be a crook?"

"But it can be the opposite. They clearly celebrated their wedding, while Freya did not even exist at all. Maybe he just knew her or he was the actor."

Whispers of guests who knew Freya. Freya is one of the famous selebgrams because it is quite a lot of who know him. Not to mention the social-style association makes it widely known to upper-class women.

Meanwhile, in Jakarta, as usual Freya came to her father to complain.

"Hows it? Is there any progress on your relationship with Gathan?" ask Reza.

Freya snorted in annoyance while shaking her head. How there is progress, Gathan alone always keeps his distance from him.

Suddenly a message came into his phone. Freya's eyes suddenly glared in annoyance when she saw the photo. Who else, if not a picture of Gathan and Nanda at the party. They seem very compatible making Freya become envious and hateful.

"You need to act, Fre! Remember, your time is not long. If your time is up before everything is achieved, all our efforts will surely be in vain. At least you should get pregnant before the time is over. She's definitely not going to divorce you if you're pregnant with her child." Reza tells her.

"But how, pa? Every way Freya tried, even to wear clothes almost plain only she was not interested at all. Don't-don't he really turn, pa. Freya doesn't want to stay with a guy like that for the rest of her life."

"You want your life to be good, safe, and comfortable and abundant in wealth even if you have to live with a man like Gathan or live with two real men but live hard?" Reza sneered at Freya's thinking ability which was so shallow in his opinion. Then Reza whispered something into Freya's ear. Freya smiled happily as she listened to what her father's idea was.

"Hopefully papa's idea this time worked" he said with a grin.

...Gathan Adriano Tjokoro...
