LIEGE

NATHALIE

Ardian and Erina finally agree to a loveless marriage. Marriage with friends. Is it easy for them? Of course not. Quarrels still occur, but Erina is more relaxed when adjacent to Ardian.

"Where is your marriage?" alexia asked as they gathered at her house to celebrate Raymond's birthday.

In addition to them, many families Raymond and Alexia were present at the event. After making small talk, Ardian and Erina as well as Alexia and Raina and Henry prefer to sit in the gazebo which is located a bit away from the crowd.

"Okay," Erina replied indifferently. He still has the prestige of showing others that their marriage has begun to fad. But now he no longer refused if Ardian sat beside him and hugged his shoulder. Even when Ardian kissed the back of her hand or stroked her stomach, Erina let him.

"How common?" insist Alexia.

"Yes, like any other wedding" said Erina Judes.

"Honey, don't judge that ah lexi. You want our son to be like him?"

"Darling? Ye? There is nothing ordinary in the life of an Erina. You must have a ceasefire. Or maybe you've already ....."

"What the hell is Lex? If I say ordinary means ordinary." said Erina emotion. "I don't really believe it when you say it!"

Ardian stroked Erina's hand which he had been holding since. It proved successful. Now Erina's emotions subsided.

"This is unusual, Rin!" alexia said as she pointed at Erina's hand which was within Ardian's grasp.

"What difference? Tuh Rai and bang Henry also so," Erina replied not to lose while pointing at the couple referred to by her chin.

"If they were, I wouldn't be surprised. They are bucins. But Elo and Ardian are like lionesses and wolves ready to fight."

"We agreed to a truce and underwent a style of marriage with friends. Erin hasn't loved me yet, but someday I'm sure she'll be able to love me."

"What about your children? Elo can already accept them, Rin?"

"Gue was sure Erin could already accept them. Isn't that right, Rin?" Raina helped answer.

"Gue didn't see where it was wrong to accept them. They are part of me. They grow in my womb. I realize my problems with their cheeks shouldn't make me blame or hate them."

"Wait.. wait... did you say earlier... cheek? Elo call Ardian cheek? Oh my lord, I'm sorry if I laugh." And Alexia's laughter broke out to the point of her tears.

Meanwhile Raina and Henry laughed even though not as good as Alexia.

"No, what I said. Do not wear mimi cheeks. It was the same Lexi," Erina scolded while pulling her hand. But Ardian did not want to let go of his grasp. He even kissed the back of Erina's hand affectionately.

"Let Lexi play us. He is that way the guy. I asked what we wanted to call, but you didn't answer until now. Obviously abi ummi's call is not suitable for us. Mami papi, daddy mom, daddy mom, daddy mom, that's too common. You like it anti-mainstream, baby."

"I swear, if it wasn't for me seeing it with my own eyes, I would have thought you guys were playing a drama or maybe prank me" Alexia said after her laughter subsided. "Raymond wouldn't believe me in a story."

"What's this about calling my name?" asked Raymond who had just come with a beautiful girl who was walking beside him.

"Later to tell you beb. Uh, Nat when's it coming?" Alexia stood up and hugged the beautiful girl who came with Raymond. "Kok didn't say that you were going back to Indo? If you know you're coming home, we'll pick you up at the airport."

"I just arrived this morning. From the airport I went straight to the house of oma. Deliberately do not tell cici and koko, let's surprise."

"Lex, this is Nathalie your cousin who used to geek glasses?" raina asked in disbelief. Alexia nodded.

"Nathalie you used to carry around with you when you were updated?" ask Erina.

"Yes. She's Nathalie."

"Sir Ardian huh? Do you remember Nathalie?" asked Nathalie while blushing in embarrassment. He doesn't care about Raina and Erina.

"Even though now your appearance is different, you still remember you. Your squinty eyes and dimples are still the same even though you're smart now." Ardian rushed to Nathalie to greet her.

What shocked Nathalie was not only welcoming Ardian's hand but also hugging him. Of course it did not escape the attention of others. Alexia and Raina turned their heads anxiously towards Erina. But Erina doesn't seem to care.

"Are you in college or work?" asked Ardian while still standing beside Nathalie.

"I just finished my degree in Austria. I'm majoring in music."

"Well, it turns out that you're also majoring in that. Remember we used to hang out together at the Jazzy cafe near my sister's apartment?"

"Remember dong brother. There Ardian sister also often ngedate with sister's boyfriends."

Before long Ardian and Nathalie seemed engrossed in the conversation about classical music. So excited they did not realize the others had left them both in the gazebo.

"Lex, me and Henry go home first. Kasian Alea and Alena."

"Kok you guys go back first anyway? I'm coming, yes" Erina pinta.

"Elo's coming here with your husband. Later he is confused if you don't look at it" said Alexia.

"I don't think he's going to find me. Look, he's still talking to your cousin. My legs and waist started to feel sore" said Erina.

"Gue call Ardian ya."

"No need. I haven't seen him so much talking."

"Sorry Rin, Henry and I would like to stop by Henry's parents' house. It just so happened that our twins were there. Or you want to come with us there? We'll just be a minute, okay."

"No need Rai, your in-laws must miss their children. Dah, don't think about me. I'll be alright."

"Is it really okay? Wait a minute, Ardian must be nyariin elo."

"It's okay. You guys go home first."

After Raina and Henry died, Erina walked up to Alexia. But it seems like Alexia and Raymond are busy receiving congratulations from the guests. Some of them were busy too. Erina looked at the gazebo. Ardian was still talking to Nathalie. Their body gesture saw how much they enjoyed each other's existence.

Erina sighed. He's really tired. Her pregnancy, which has entered the age of 7 months, began to feel heavy for her. People say, twin pregnancy is not easy. His current appearance was truly whale-like. Once again Erina turned to the gazebo, but she did not see the whereabouts of Ardian and Nathalie. Where're they? Erina was about to find Ardian, but she paused because her leg was getting sicker. Erina finally decided to go home by using an online taxi. All he had in mind right now was a fall on his bed.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The clock shows at 11pm when Ardian enters the room. Erina was already asleep. He had been looking for Erina when he wanted to go home, but did not find her. He tries to call Erina's phone, but her phone is dead. He asked Alexia, she didn't see Erina either. Finally he called Raina. According to Raina's estimation, Erina had gone home because she had wanted to go home together. After getting the information from Raina, Ardian was relieved.

He had a conversation with Nathalie. It was so exciting that he did not realize Erina and the others had moved. After that Nathalie had invited him into the house, to show the trophies he achieved during his education in Austria.

For Ardian, Nathalie was like a little sister. The girl often joined them, because the girl had been living with Alexia's family since childhood. His family is in Taiwan.

Ardian approaches the bed. Erina looked at him with great affection. Slowly he kissed Erina on the forehead. Then he kissed Erina's increasingly rounded stomach. Then he went to the guest room. Yes, since the beginning of living in the house until now, Ardian sleeps in the guest room. They almost never share a bed unless Erina suddenly asks for company.
