Weddings

Flora p.o.v

Today is my wedding day.

Right now I am in a special room.

I stared at my reflection in the mirror. One thing I realized.

There was no happy look on my face. Yes, although yesterday I said I was happy with this marriage, but in fact I am not.

One thing you should know. I have a very strong instinct. And this time I felt that there would be many wounds in my heart.

Am I ready?

Marry someone who doesn't love me.

Tok.shock.

The sound of knocking on the door pulled me into the real world. I saw a beautiful woman wearing a kebaya that contrasted with her white skin standing at the door. He smiled at me and came to me. In a few seconds I hugged him.

She's the woman I love. The woman I love. She's everything to me.

"Mistake.. Arin kangen is mama." I cried in my arms. Because I miss him so much.

"Hey baby. No cry. Mama misses you too." I'm tightening my arms around Mom.

"Already. Don't cry anymore. My daughter is no longer beautiful." Mama said and then broke our embrace.

"It's your happy day. You ask that no tears fall." Say it again." Promise me darling." Further. I can only nod my head weakly.

"I'm sorry dear. He should be the one here. Not mama." Mama said and then she cupped my face. "Mama tried to persuade him but he still didn't." Continue with sadness.

"Already mah. The important thing is that being there at my wedding is more than enough for me." I said try to erase my grief. Mom smiled at me.

Yeah I knew he wouldn't come.

The noise from outside made me and mamah turned towards the door. I already know who they are.

"Hey, are you blind. Men can't get into this room."

"Why are you busy? It's up to me dong. Who would dare to ban me. Show me. I'll beat him up."

"Cihh your style is so much! Want to beat up people? Just as wanky as you're afraid."

"Ck, obviously I'm scared. That sissy wanted to kiss me. I don't want my handsome face stained."

"Cihh what handsome. Oh God. Why should I have a twin sister like her."

They're my sisters. Fanilla and Frans. They were twins but never got along .

"Are you two not getting along? Should you make a fuss at your sister's wedding?!" Mama said sharply when the two of them had arrived at the door.

I chuckle at seeing them.

They both just bowed. But it was just for a moment.

"God! Is this really my favorite brother?" Frans asked when he saw me.

"Then who else! Is your brain amnesia?!" It's not me who answers but Fani.

"It's so pretty." Frans said with a gaping mouth. Mama and I laughed a little at her expression.

"Yes Arin's sister is beautiful. Like me." Fani said with a smile of pride.

"God! Do you realize you said that. If you're beautiful there's no way your age is 19 is still single." Frans said cynically.

Well, they started again.

"You..

I cut Fani's words. Otherwise they would argue all day.

"Do you not want to hug your brother? Don't you miss me?" I said to them. They smiled then walked towards me and hugged me tightly.

"Kak you know. I miss you so much. I really miss your scorched fried noodles." Frans said in my arms. I laughed at his words. He always mocked my cooking.

"Sister I miss you so much. You know my sister is tired at home. All my homework is done. And this one sipembully won't help me. He can only screw things up." Adu Fani to me. My God, my two sisters are always like this. Mutual blame.

"Be quiet!" Said Frans. I don't know when they'll get along. But I know that even though Frans was acting like that to Fani she loved Fani very much and would be very overprotective of her if anyone disturbed her.

I hugged them tightly. I miss them so much. I saw you smiling and shaking your head.

"Heii.heii are you going to hold on. Until all the guests disperse?" Ask Brother Faustina who came with Mamah Ambar. He's our oldest brother.

I let go of our embrace.

"So chatty brother. Don't know if we miss our dear kaka so much." Groused Frans. Indeed among us all was only Faustina's most chatty sister.

"Already. Let's go to church. Everything is ready." Said mama Ambar.

"Are you ready, Arin?" Ask mama. I nodded my head. But I'm not sure my heart will be ready.

"You ask to stay with Axel no matter what. Promise me to Mom Flo." Said Mamah Ambar. She cried and hugged me. I nodded my head.

"I promise you." My answer.

I'm sorry mah. I'm not sure I can be with Axel forever. Forgive Flo.

My mother led me to the church. Then hand me over to Dad. I looked at my father. That handsome guy smiled at me.

"Daddy pray that your happy life is always dear. Don't remember your past. Look ahead. Towards the future God promised." I smiled at Dad's words. Then put my hand on Dad's left arm.

The church door is open. My father walked past a red carpet sprinkled with rose petals. Many guests have come to this ceremony. I don't recognize them. But I clearly saw that a friend of my campus was coming.

Honestly speaking. My feet are so sore wearing these heels. His height makes me look like my dad. For three days Anya patiently taught me to wear heels until her favorite heels broke.

Everyone stood up to greet me and my father.

In front of the altar was the Pastor. And Axel's standing there. I could see clearly there was no happiness on Axel's face. He looked at me with a flat face.

On his right side were three men whispering. I don't know what they whispered I don't know.

Yep. They're Alex, Albert and Dave.

Arriving in front of the Altar my father handed me over to Axel. He greeted me with a fake smile.

"Daddy's daughter's body. I believe you." Said Dad. Axel smile.

"Definitely father." The answer.

Definitely what? Will it hurt me?

The blessing event begins. Axel loudly said our wedding vows. I know he's just covering up his unwillingness.

After the ring installation was completed, all the guests applauded. At first glance I saw mamah shed her tears between happy and sad.

My heart actually wants to cry.

The woman who gave birth to me should be here. But truth? Not at all.

The reception was set up at a five-star hotel, and guests were unceasingly arriving. To the point that my hands and lips were sore and smiling. Not only that, I think my legs have been scratched. This is really painful.

Can the show be finished now?

I want to rest.

But my eyes sparkled to see a man standing right in front of me.

He thrust his hand at me and said "Congratulations Flo. May you be a happy family and a God-fearing family." He said with a friendly smile.

That's Kevin.

"Thank you. You coming?" I asked who still couldn't believe it. Because after the rooftop incident I never saw him again. I feel guilty for him. I broke his heart.

"of course. You invited me, right?" I nodded my head hearing his question. So this is real? He really came. I'm so happy.

"I'd be too childish to know you just because of that. Although I can't have you, I don't want to lose you." He said with complete sincerity. Thank goodness she's not mad at me anymore. I hugged him and said thank you. Kevin is like Zack. I've considered him my own brother.

Then she turned to Axel who was beside me with a forced smile.

"I hope you take good care of Flo. Otherwise I'll take it from you. Diamonds do not deserve to be wasted. Congratulations!" He told Axel. I gulped down my Saliva with great difficulty upon hearing Kevin's words. What does it mean try? While Axel just gave a thin smile.

"Mm Flo, I'm going there first. There's a pretty girl." Kevin said with a flirtatious smile. My eyes follow the direction of her index.

I smiled to see who he was pointing at.

"good. Who's afraid. And remember your promise." Answer Kevin quickly. Then he walked towards the girl he pointed at earlier.

Yep. I want to see if he can face Frans. Because the girl Kevin pointed to was my sister Fanilla.

I watched for a long time Kevin who was blocked by Frans when he was about to approach Fani who never succeeded. My gaze was directed at the voice of a woman who called out Axel's name gently right in front of us.

"Axhelen.." And look like a beautiful woman like Korean girls.

I looked up to hear what he said to Axel.

"You're bad know! You married someone else when I left. I hate you. I hate!" Said the woman with tears flooding her cheeks. Then he left us. A moment I saw Axel pecking but seconds later he went after the woman.

My heart ached when I saw Axel chasing after the woman and leaving me alone here.

Who's the lady?

Why is he saying that?

Is that the woman Axel loves?

My daydreams are gone because someone's voice surprised me.

"Hey, it's your happy day. Why dream like that baby? And where's Axel?" Ask Zack who is in front of me. He was willing to leave his duties for a few days just to attend my wedding. Not like Nathan's missing fly somewhere.

"Ehh. Who is dreamy. I'm just tired of Zack." I'm lethargic." And Axel's going to the toilet." Lied to her. I can't possibly tell her that Axel went after a woman.

Zack just nodded. I know he must believe me.

Kevin p.o.v's

Today is Flora's wedding day.

I stared at the gold-colored invitation lying on my desk. Three days ago my assistant dropped me the invitation.

Actually I'm in a dilemma between coming or not. If I come my heart will be devastated to see the person I love get married. But if I don't come I'll look like a teenager who just broke up with her boyfriend. Childish.

In the end, I decided to go to her wedding. Enough I can't have it and I won't want to lose a good man like him. Maybe I'll decide to be her best friend.

Yeah, companions.

The reception was very luxurious at one of the five-star hotels.

I saw Flo who looked very beautiful and graceful. He smiled kindly at the people he was experiencing. And a handsome man standing before him. They look very suitable. May they be happy later.

I approached them to congratulate them on their marriage. Flo was surprised to see me at first. But in the end he looked very happy because I was present at his reception.

After congratulating them. I approached a beautiful girl in the corner who was eating a banquet.

I want to show Flo if I can get close to her. And he'll give me whatever I ask.

It's very easy. He doesn't know if I'm very good at approaching women.

I wasn't in front of the girl. A man immediately confronted me. I don't know who she is and why she seems to be stopping me from getting close to the girl. There are many questions he asks.

Wanna what?

What age om?

What the fuck. Why he called me Om. Do I look so old?

And there are many more questions.

Ahk. I'm lazy to face this little boy.

I went to the toilet. When I wanted to get out I accidentally saw a woman and a man arguing. I just want to ignore it and get out of there. My steps stopped hearing the man's words.

"I had to marry him. I don't want him. I just love you, baby. Trust me." Say the man.

I wondered and then I peeked at them from behind the toilet door.

My eyes widened. I was surprised to see who that man was. He's Flora's husband. And what did he say just now?

Forced to marry Flo?

He doesn't want Flo?

Goddamn it!!!!

My anger really peaked. Wanted to finish him off right now.

"But why did you marry her?" Ask the woman.

"I told you. I had to, baby. I. I just love you. I just want you to be my wife. I promise I'll divorce her. But not now. I cannot destroy your happiness. Be patient, dear."

"You promise?"

"Yes I promise. Because I just love you."

They hugged.

Really jerk!!

What he said.

She's gonna divorce Flo?

How Flo feels about knowing this.

He'll definitely get hurt.

I don't know what to do.

I left the place with my face holding back my emotions and clenched hands.

Do I have to hide this from Flo?

I can't possibly tell her this. It will break his heart. Even though the man is going to divorce Flo.

At exactly 23:00 the reception was over. Flo is in the hotel room where they are staying.

The rooms are decorated so beautifully especially for their first night.

Flo sat on the edge of the bed. His face was implying sadness. Tonight was a beautiful first night for them. Given Axel's attitude that turned increasingly cold after returning from the toilet earlier.

The door of the room opened and Axel saw his cheerful face. But then it turned flat after seeing Flo sitting on the edge of the bed.

Without saying a word. Axel walked towards the bathroom and ignored Flo just like that.

Flo smiled wryly and then he moved from his seat to the mirror to open the decorations in his hair.

Not long Axel came out of the bathroom fully dressed and wet hair. Maybe he just finished his shower.

Without saying a word, he walked to the bed to get a pillow.

Flo entered the bathroom lethargic and had a slightly limp leg as she wanted to get into the hotel room. Axel glanced at him.

Flo comes out of the bathroom and sees Axel sleeping on the sofa. Flo knew this was going to happen. He just smiled thinly but implied to the disappointment.

Then he picked up a blanket and covered Axel.

"I knew this was going to happen. Sleep well. Have a good dream." Flo muttered in the heart.

Then he went up to the bed. Splash body. And immediately closed his eyes.

The first night was not beautiful at all. Unlike newlyweds we already know what they will do. It was different with Flo and Axel. They even slept separately.

What is best for this self?

Ask your own heart, because it never betrays you.
