Je Te Protegerai
Chapter 12's
It was already a week before Anna and Xavier's wedding day, the preparations were almost done. Anna doesn't take care of all that either. Because for him it doesn't matter. Xavier now often takes her. And that makes one school spread rumors if they're dating. Anna didn't think too much about the rumors, it was just that the annoyance from Xavier's fans upset her. Let alone the fanatical fans of Xavier's first row, who else if not eun jae.
"How are your wedding preparations? " Task Eve.
They were relaxing behind Anna's house. Eve and Brian knew about the wedding. Eve is even shocked to hear Anna is getting married to Xavier. Especially Brian who was immediately heartbroken to hear that. After Anna told me about the wedding, Brian became quiet.
"Maybe it's almost done. " Reply Anna Cuek while drinking her warm chocolate.
"Maybe? You didn't follow Anna's preparations? " Tnya Eve squinted her eyes.
"No. What's for. " Say Anna.
"It's your wedding Anna. A lifetime marriage is only once. And you're a bitch like this? " Task Eve in wonder.
Anna did not tell Eve that she would divorce Xavier if she was one year old. Anna doesn't want Eve to find out if Eve knows she might receive endless lectures.
"Let the parents take care of all that Eve. I'm busy enough to handle something like that. You know for yourself if my shooting schedule is tight. " Said Anna annoyed.
Her work as a model is still going on. Even just 2 days ago he just returned from France for a photo shoot. He's very tired. Moreover, the thought of his mother who now increasingly makes him unable to go where.
Savannahs still often hallucinate and scream or break trunks of stuff. Or hurt himself. All Anna has given for the recovery of her mother.
"You're right. Why do you still accept that job when you get married.! " She complained Eve.
"I can't afford to cancel Eve's contract. Especially before my match. " Said Anna explaining.
"Em you're right. Where is Brian, by the way? I didn't see him from earlier. " Tanya Eve searches for Brian's whereabouts.
"Tumben you're looking for him. Did you miss him? " Tanya Anna teases.
"Ish who misses. He's a bitch. Just wonder why I didn't see it. Every time you have Brian, there must be Brian. " Say Eve
"Not back? Every time you have me there must be me. " Anna's Correction.
Eve listened to Anna's true words.
"But Anna, I'm curious. Do you love Xavier? " Task Eve.
Eve's question was simple, but for Anna it was a difficult one. His feelings for Xavier don't even know.
"I don't know " Said Anna briefly.
Eve understood, Anna was a girl who had never felt love. That's why he doesn't know how he feels about Xavier. Anna grew up to be a vengeful girl, her heart was very dark and cold. So Xavier was very difficult to get into his heart. But Eve is convinced that Xavier can make Anna happy. Somehow Eve is so convinced that Xavier is the right person for Anna.

Today is their schedule of dress fittings. Anna and Xavier enter a boutique that has designed Anna's dress.
"Welcome, young lady. Please enter "Who is the female officer who made the door.
They enter together into the boutique inside where they meet Elena and Maggie.
"Honey you guys are here. Let's try on your dress. " Speak Elena by leading Anna inside.
Xavier and Maggie were sitting across the street.
"You guys came together? " Tanya Maggie tried to talk to her future daughter-in-law.
"Yes bi. " Answer Xavier politely.
"You should call me Mom, Xavier. Just like Anna called your mom Mom. " Maggie's voice corrects Xavier.
"Alright Mom. " Say Xavier with a faint smile.
Maggie looked at Xavier with a smile. After Maggie attempted suicide, a few days later she was released from the hospital. Her pale face is still clearly visible because Maggie forced herself to join Anna's shirt fittings. Although she had to argue with her husband David, but eventually Maggie was able to let David down to allow herself to leave. With a note he should not be stressed or think about heavy things.
While Anna was wearing her dress, Xavier was also guided inside to try her tuxedo.
"Wahh you're so handsome Xavier. " Praise Maggie as Xavier exits the dressing room.
"Thanks Mom's. " Reply Xavier
Suddenly the curtains in front of Xavier opened, featuring Anna who was already wearing a white dress commensurate with the color of her skin.
For a moment Xavier held his breath from being fascinated by Anna. A simple dress with a low cut on the chest that featured Anna's smooth shoulders made Xavier hot cold.
Anna stared at Xavier, who looked dashing in front of her after a blue tuxedo in her white shirt. The two prospective brides looked at each other fascinated by each other's appearance. Until Elena's voice broke their silence.
"Ehem. It's looked at yes. You can linger like that later if you are married. " Tempting Elena on the two of them.
Anna immediately turned her face, as well as Xavier who immediately lowered his head.
"How's Xavier? Anna is beautiful, isn't she? " Elena asked her son seductively.
Xavier looked at Anna with a serious look.
"Pretty Mom. " Praise Xavier.
Anna, who was praised by Xavier, became awkward. She couldn't even stand it, her cheeks heated up because of the compliment. Anna tries not to smile so Xavier doesn't bully her later. The man will definitely continue teasing her because of the blushing in front huh.
"Then my dear Anna, my son is handsome isn't he? " Ask Elena.
Getting a question from her prospective in-laws, Anna so excited.
"Yes mom. " Say Anna was stamped with bricks.
Xavier smiled obliquely hearing the nervous Anna.
"Ahhh you guys are a matching couple. Isn't that Maggie? " Tell Elena to Maggie who's still looking at Anna.
"really. A matching couple. " Say Maggie
Maggie's mind raged, happy, sad all mixed up. His heart still ached when he remembered the last time they met. Maggie doesn't blame Anna, it's just that her daughter's words still make her cry. For some reason it was so hard just to ask for a hug from her daughter.
Finished fitting clothes, Xavier drove Anna home. But before that, they ate first in a restaurant. After that, Xavier escorted Anna to her house.
"X can I ask you something? " Ana asked when they were in front of her
"What's? " Reply Xavier looked at Anna.
"When the wedding, can my mommy come along? " Pinta Anna's.
"Isn't it natural that your mommy would be on the show? " Tanya Xavier was astonished.
Anna breathed out her breath and lowered her head.
"No. David wouldn't let my mommy on the show. So please let my mommy come along, 'cause it's her daughter's wedding anyway. And I want my mommy to come, too. " Said Anna lirih.
"alright. I'll ask my daddy to persuade your dad. " Say Xavier.
Anna looked at Xavier, and smiled sincerely.
"Thank you X. I hope my mommy can be fair in my marriage. " Say Anna.
After that Anna got out of Xavier's car and entered his house. Xavier looked at the back of Anna who entered the house with an unreadable look.
'I'll try Anna. '
Anna turned around when she heard Brian's motor behind her.
"Where are you from Anna? I was looking for you. " Task Brian after getting off the bike.
"From the fitting of the shirt. You just got home? " Say Anna
"Ep. So you were with Xavier? "
"Ep. I'm going in first. " Anna said briefly and then turned to leave Brian upset.

After David slapped Anna, the man now often kept silent in the room. Even the presumptuous hand that hurt his daughter's face is now wrapped in bandages, because David hurt her.
In fact, David hasn't even met Anna for a few days. David avoided her because he didn't want to hurt his little daughter.
"You're still sitting here. " Maggie entered her husband's study. He still sees David blaming himself for hurting Anna.
Maggie understood, she also contributed.
"Hows it? " Task David without turning his gaze to the file before him.
"What's? " Reply Maggie didn't understand.
"He's pretty? "
The woman breathed in frustration. Staring at her husband who kept the pain behind the sturdy wall she made.
"C'mon David's. You must be strong.!! If you keep quiet here won't change the situation. Moreover, our daughter will be married one more week. Are you gonna stay here? Not leading Anna to her wedding? " Maggie said encouraging David to be strong again.
David was still agitated by Anna's gaze on him that night. His sad look made David want to end his life. Even his hands were still trembling until now.
David never hit Anna. Even though his words were spicy and sarcastic, but David abstained from hitting his son. His uncaring attitude was also a mask for Anna to hate him. But, the gaze of the night was more painful to her. He is not calm. Something big is going to drive him crazy.
"Davids... We can David... " Maggie touched David's trembling hand.
David looked at Maggie and smiled.
"Thank you dear. And I'm sorry. "
"No need. We face the same. " Reply Maggie.

Anna combed her hair in front of the mirror. She's glad her mommy didn't make a fight or go berserk. That way, Anna can tell the grievances that Anna feels on her mommy.
"Look, mommy's still pretty. Mommy already has a child this big. Amazing right? " Anna looked at the savanah in front of the mirror.
"Anna wants to be like mommy. Still beautiful in old age. Anna hopes mommy will be with Anna until then. " She said.
But Savannah remained silent, her gaze blank. Anna was talking to a statue. Miris is his life.
"We should both fight mom. I can't do it alone. Come with me and give me the strength to repay what they did to us. " Say Anna by hugging her mommy.
Tok tok tok tok
"Lake in."
Chequek.
"Miss, there's mister Xavier up ahead. " Minah.
"alright. I'm going out. " Say Anna.
The wedding is in 4 days. It's time Xavier greeted his mommy. Xavier must be acquainted with his mommy.
"Let's mom, mommy should be acquainted with Anna's future husband. " She said as she pushed the wheelchair.
Xavier was sitting on the sofa in the living room. Upon seeing Anna come out with her mommy, Xavier immediately stood up.
"Hi." Greet Anna with a smile.
"Hey. Time for a prewed photo. " Xavier said back to Anna's smile.
"Oh okay. I'll be ready for a moment. Watch mommy. " Pamit Anna went straight to her room.
Xavier just nodded his head in response to Anna. The man stood up and approached the savanah and squatted down in front of him.
"Hallo ma'am, meet me Xavier Dominic Xeon. Anna's husband. " Sapa Xavier.
Savanah did not respond and remained silent. Xavier looked into the empty, soulless eyes of Anna's mother.
'Is this what he feels? '
"From now on I'll call you mommy. May it? "
Silent.
Anna saw him from above. How Xavier interacts with his mommy. And how Xavier reacts after seeing his mommy condition now.
Looks Xavier who scratched his nape that is not itchy, he is very do not know what else to do. Xavier is not the one who will start the conversation if it is not urgent.
Anna immediately went down so that Xavier would not get bored.
"Come X. We're goin. Take care of mommy. " Anna said as she shouted for minah.
"Fine miss. " Reply who immediately ran when he heard Anna's voice.
Anna gets into the car followed by Xavier, who sits behind the wheel. Start the car and drive from the mansion to somewhere prewed them.
In a motorcycle gang headquarters that was gathering, there was a male figure sitting contemplating in the corner of the room.
"Are you in a breakup? " Ask someone to that man..
The man looked up and looked at the man who asked him. The man with the piercing on the right and left side also looked at the man. The man's face can be categorized as cute, even if according to the man, he does not deserve here.
"It's none of your business! " Reply male ketus.
The man raised his eyebrows and smiled mockingly.
"Ah that. But what I saw seemed like that. " Saying while sitting next to him.
"Silence jungkook. I don't want to be disturbed. " She said to the guy named Jungkook.
"Oh come on Brian. Not just because your love is weak like this.! " Take a look at the guy who turned out to be Brian.
"I can't.! It can't.!! " Say Brian firmly.
Jungkook looked at Brian beside him.
"Is that how much you love him? " Task her without distracting her.
"We grew up together. It's hard for me to take it off. " Say while imagining how they grew up together until now. Although there was a 4-year gap they did not meet, but for Brian it could not make his love fall.
"I don't know how much you feel about her. But I just hope you don't fall to the bottom, Brian. " Tap jungkook then pat him on the shoulder and leave Brian alone.
