Je Te Protegerai

Chapter 13

Anna and Xavier's wedding finally arrived. Today they will say a promise to live as they live in front of the pastor. Anna was nervous, even her hands were cold.

Her makeup was done, her dress was also worn. Anna saw the reflection of her face in front. Her hair had been neatly groomed adding a crown on it making Anna look like a queen today.

Behind her was her mommy who was still in a wheelchair. Looking up, Anna stood up and approached her mommy.

"Mom, look mommy's daughter is getting married today. I'm beautiful, right, mom.? " Say Anna in front of Savannah.

"I'm sorry Anna. Mommy can't be on this show. But mommy can still see Anna mom. There, mommy will see Anna from there. Okay. " Said Anna pointing to a TV that will be directly connected to her marriage.

Anna recalls when Xavier said that her father could not persuade David to allow Savannah to join the marriage. Makes Anna hate the old man even more. But Xavier had the idea that Savannah could still see Anna from TV. And Anna accepted that.

Down, Anna tried hard not to cry on her wedding day. After a while, Anna looked up at her mommy.

"Mom, stay with Anna mom. Don't leave Anna. " Say Anna.

Minah looked at the two of them with a look of surprise. Minah could feel how Anna was afraid of being left behind by her mother.

Tok to tok.

Chequek.

"You're ready. " Anna's familiar baritone voice entered her sense of hearing.

Anna did not answer, just peeked at her mother's cheek and stood up. He turned around and looked at the man who owned the voice with his flat gaze.

"You're so pretty, baby. " Said David to see his daughter.

But Anna just kept quiet and walked up to him. Without answering, Anna poked her hand into David's arm.

David understood and guided his daughter out of there to the underwriting.

At the same time, Xavier looked nervous. Occasionally he exhales to reduce his nervousness. The guests also sat down to see their wedding. There were not many guests present, only business associates to the two families and relatives who came.

Brian sat among the guests. Until the door opened showing Anna wrapped in her beautiful dress entering the room. Xavier looked at Anna who was walking towards him. She was once again fascinated by that beautiful Anna. Her blue eyes were staring at him as if bewitching her to keep staring at him.

With graceful steps Anna walked with David.

"This is the moment that daddy wanted Anna. Leave you to the right person, and see you happy. " Say David as he walks.

"really? Not because you're relieved that you can throw me away? " Sarcass said, but still showed his fake smile.

"Daddy didn't throw you out, baby. You're my daughter, and you're my only treasure. Forgive daddy who hurt you that time. " Said David regretting.

They finally arrived before Xavier. David hands Anna to Xavier.

"Dragon my daughter Xavier. I trust you. " Say David was firm.

"Thank you dad, I'll take care of him. " Say Xavier was confident and clasped Anna's hand.

They also face to say the sacred promise of marriage. As the priest was reciting the opening greetings and do'a, Xavier unceasingly looked at Anna intently.

When they said a promise and a word willing to be spoken by both, the pastor also said if they had become husband and wife. When the priest says that Xavier can kiss his wife, Anna is so nervous when the cover is opened by Xavier.

Xavier touches Anna's face and approaches. Those lips, the lips that had always tempted Xavier to kiss Anna long ago, he could finally feel those chewy lips.

Cup...

Anna and Xavier close each other's eyes, feeling each other when the two lips meet. Until the sound of their cheering heard and broke away.

***

"Goodbye, you're Xavier's wife now. " Say Eve as they enter the dressing room.

"Am I doing my best? " Task her with her breath.

Eve approached Anna and hugged her.

"It's been your decision Anna. Whatever it is I will support you. If you have a problem, come and tell me. You know I'm always there for you. " Say Eve.

Anna returned Eve's embrace to him with a smile.

"Thank Eve. "

"That's it. You change your dress and then get out. I'll just wait in the ballroom. " Say Eve and get out of there.

Anna recalled her mommy, immediately she rushed into the room that was indeed prepared for her mommy.

Savannah sat there staring at the balcony.

"Mom's... " Sapa Anna approached her mother and hugged her.

"Davids... Anna's... David... Anna's.. " Savannah murmured indistinctly.

Anna looked at her mum muttering.

"Mommy said what? I didn't hear mom.. " Anna said softly.

But Savannah kept muttering without looking at him. Made Anna waste her breath slowly.

"Mommy stay here, okay. Anna will be back as soon as it's done. " Say Anna and go.

Anna returns to the dressing room to change her dress for the reception. Actually Anna has refused this event because her wedding in hiding makes Anna feel no need to make such an event. But David stayed firm to make the reception.

Anna took care of herself who had finished changing her style. It was beautiful, and it was Xavier's choice. Anna even felt that Xavier took care of her well. Shouldn't he be the one taking care of it all for Xavier? Now she's Xavier's wife, and that's her duty. But hearing she was already a wife made Anna feel strange. The first time she felt nervous was like this.

"You daydreaming what? " Anna turned her head to look at Xavier who was already standing behind her with his gray tuxedo.

"How long have you been there? " Ana asked because she didn't hear any steps or open the door.

"just now. You daydreaming? " Xavier approached to see his wife. Ahh Xavier felt a warm feeling inside his chest as he said his wife. It was like an irreplaceable happiness. Proof of Xavier's possession of Anna.

"No. " Said Anna turning back to look at herself in the big mirror.

Anna looked at Xavier who was right behind her, the man's breath so tickled at Anna's open neck. Anna's heart was beating fast, and she was afraid that Xavier would find out.

"Pretty. You're so beautiful Anna. " Xavier said with adoration. His eyes sparkled and his smile flashed.

Anna also looked at Xavier who was staring at her through the mirror reflection. For a moment, second by second, they passed by staring at each other. Until suddenly there was a clench from behind making Anna jerked.

Xavier grabbed Anna's body tightly. Kiss Anna's smooth, fragrant nape. Makes Anna goosebumps with Xavier's touch.

"X what are you doing. " Anna tried to take off Xavier's hand which was still holding her

Anna felt her heart would be dislodged if it continued.

"We'll be late if you don't let me go. " Said Anna trying to neutralize her heart.

"really? " Once again Xavier kissed Anna on the nape and stood behind her. "alright. Comeing.! " Say Xavier.

Xavier takes Anna out of the dressing room to the reception stage. Anna looked at her hand held by Xavier. Feels warm and strong.

'What's wrong with me. Why is it like I want to lean on him. '

***

Brian looked at Anna, who was with Xavier on stage, greeting the guests. Her feelings are chaotic, although Anna has said that this marriage is only temporary, but for her to see the girl she loves with other men makes her heart ache.

"Control that face of yours. " A voice made Brian turn his head and look at Eve who was sitting next to him.

"Why my face? " Task Brian as if he didn't know what Eve was saying.

"Don't lie to me Brian. Your feelings are read by me. " Speak Eve as she sips her drink.

"If my feelings are read by you, why can't he see them. " Brian said with his head down. Brian felt sad because other people could see his feelings but Anna didn't even see him.

Eve felt bad about saying that to Brian. It's not surprising for Eve because she knows how much Brian loves Anna. And it's not that Anna doesn't see, but Eve's convinced that Anna knows how Brian feels about her. It's just that maybe Anna doesn't want her friendship to break down because of that relationship.

"That's it. Look, Anna's even happy now. You should be happy Brian too. " Say Eve while patting Brian on the shoulder as if strengthening him.

Brian snorted and smiled softly hearing Anna happy? Did ya?

"I also wish she was happy Eve. " Reply and go.

***

"What?! " David is shocked by Xavier's words that he says they will stay at Anna's house.

"You are husband and wife, and the wife should follow her husband. Not otherwise.! " David really doesn't know how they think.

"We've discussed this before dad. And I agree to stay at Anna's. " Said Xavier trying to protect his wife from her father-in-law's rampage.

"But Xavier, wouldn't you rather stay at our house? " Said Andrew trying to persuade his son.

"Dad, it's our decision. " Say Xavier firmly.

While Anna was just silent, because she was lazy to argue with the parents. After all, if they insist on staying at Xavier's house, Anna won't. Whatever it is, Anna won't leave her mother.!

David looked at Anna who was silent beside Xavier by playing his phone.

"Are you the one who forced Xavier? " Tanya David squinted her eyes.

"Dad's.! " Xavier doesn't want any quarrel between his wife and his father-in-law.

Anna looked up and looked at David flatly. Her lips twinkled as if mocking David in front of her.

"really. I forced. Wh why? Any problem? "

"You should go with Xavier instead of deciding to stay alone! Do you think you can live together? " David tried not to yell even though his face was red.

"Wuahs.. You think I can't? Don't you remember how you dumped me 4 years ago? I can even live alone. I don't need your help, honorable Mr. David. " Say Anna with a quip.

"I never threw you out Anna. Watch what you say.! " Say David by pointing to Anna.

"Oh yeah? All right, if that's what you want. But this problem is over. We stayed at my house. " Say Anna the final.

"You can stay at my house. " Say David as if he hasn't given up.

Anna chuckled at David saying that. "What's? Your home? To the death I will never set foot in that disgusting house of yours! "

"Anna.! "Right Xavier before David gets angry and yells at Anna.

" This is our deal. Please respect our decision. "Xavier said to all of them.

The atmosphere became tense and awkward. Anna still looked at David with hate. So did David who was looking at her restraining anger.

" All right, we're going to Anna's house. We're tired, excuse me. "Xavier finally farewell because the atmosphere is increasingly not conducive.

They just left from the 4 people sitting there. Along with the door closed, Elena and Maggie exhaled a breath that felt tight.

Maggie rubbed David's still-strung hand. Staring at him with a smile trying to make David understand his son.

" It's okay honey. Let them both live. I'm sure they can "say Maggie softly.

" It's not Maggie, I'm worried about them. "Speaking David riled.

" Once, we trust them. "Say Maggie.

" We will also try to trust them David. So if there's a problem, we'll know. You've put people there? "Say Andrew saw David being riled up.

"Yes. I put my men there. " Said David.

"Then there's nothing you need to worry about. " Reply.

All right, David's gonna try not to worry about the two of them. Anna lives there with her mother. David remains worried, first because there is Brian and Eve who are always beside Anna. But now it's different, Anna will be with Xavier. David is worried that Xavier will make his son sick. Although Xavier is the son of his best friend and he believes in the man. But a father's feelings can't be ruled out.

***

Xavier turned to look at Anna who was asleep beside him. After leaving the hotel, Anna Xavier went straight to her house. They won't stay at the hotel. Because Anna was worried about her mother if she left. Although there are Minah and other maids but Anna is still worried if she does not meet her mother.

After arriving, Xavier did not wake Anna and carried her in carefully.

Minah opened the door and saw the couple with a smile.

"Where's the room? " Task Xavier with a slight whisper so Anna is not distracted.

"Above the lord. " Good talk shows Anna's room.

Xavier nodded and headed up the stairs to their room. After opening the door, Xavier sees Anna's room that looks not too feminine. Xavier thought Anna's room would be pink like any other woman's.

But Anna's room was white and brown. It was like a peaceful forest. With a large area for Xavier is quite large with a bathroom also walk in a spacious closet. There is a dressing table in the corner and also flickering flickering lights that make the room look beautiful.

Xavier lowers Anna slowly in the queen bed. Anna's look was slightly disturbed when she missed Xavier's warm embrace. Xavier got rid of the hair of Anna that was blocking her pretty face.

Xavier rubbed Anna's face gently, with a smile rising on his face. She was so beautiful in Anna's face. The eyes from the beginning made him bewitched and also the lips that Xavier always wanted to kiss.

Slowly Xavier moved his face up to just a few cent between his and Anna's. Even he could feel Anna's regular breathing.

Slowly Xavier kissed Anna's lips gently with great caution. Just dipping no more. And Xavier felt like he was exploding because of that kiss.

Xavier promises to make Anna happy. He realized that reaching for Anna's heart would not be easy. Because Xavier knew how powerful the wall Anna had built for herself was. And Xavier has to try hard to get his heart.
