I'm not surprised by Marcel's words about marriage, I wonder. How can Marcel and Bella's mind be the same? Bella who also mentioned marriage, now this man also touched on the problem.
But Marcel's gaze when he said "do you want to marry me?" it was so serious, I couldn't say that he was just joking or teasing me.
Honestly, I was confused as to what to answer. Getting married was easy, but preparing for everything was very difficult for me. Had to ask my parents for their blessing, change my name and put it in Marcel's paperwork, and so on.
Not to mention that I had to be Jessica and Carmelia at the same time, not getting married was hard enough. Especially if I really marry him.
"Whatever you want I will grant, provided you answer yes with my offer." he said.
"whatever?"
"Yes, anything."
"I don't want anything, I'm just confused as to what to answer."
"Honestly, I still don't know who I really am. Am I still Jessica or am I changing into Carmelia? But my name is still listed as Jessica Amelia Princess."
"You don't have to worry about it, let me take care of it. Now you just have to accept my offer, and marry me. That's it."
"What's your real name, I'll change your name to Carmelia Marcel Anggara. All your data as Jessica will be lost, and will be changed to Carmelia. And in your college like that, you will be known as Carmelia, Wife of Marcel Anggara."
"But, shouldn't my identity be hidden?" many wonder.
"It doesn't matter now, now your identity is known to my enemies. The longer you stay hidden, the more worried I get about your safety."
"So, it would be better to inform the public about your whereabouts as well as your present status. It'll make people realize who to turn to and respect now."
"You're not just the wife of the Mafia leader, you're the wife of the owner of this world."
The longer this man spoke the less I understood, He said as if everything He wanted could be obtained. Until the world He said it was his.
"We've been together long enough, don't you want my certainty? isn't it for women that status is so important? now I'm offering you the status you really want. So don't make me wait, I need your answer now" he said.
"Say, I'll get it right away."
"Secret marriage" I said seriously.
"You mean?" he said with a surprised face.
"I want a secret marriage, only the people in the castle know about our marriage. Selian is not there."
"But how can you do a secret wedding at a time like this? soon the day that I had to choose my life partner was almost here, where I wanted to introduce you specifically, instead of hearing the offer from the men to choose their daughter."
"Aren't you able to refuse their offer? and again, you can introduce me as your lover, not your wife."
"But why did you choose a secret marriage? you know a secret wedding wouldn't be a party for that? we'll just take the oath. Isn't the wedding the day you've been waiting for? the day you become the main star, and the only woman the public looks up to."
"Of course I want that day, but at a time like this I just want to take the oath. That's enough for me. And again it's just a party that we don't do, but we can still honeymoon right? just one plan that didn't work out, wasn't it okay?"
Marcel suddenly fell silent with a confused look on my terms. Of course, before applying for that condition, I already knew what I would get from that Secret wedding. And yes, I accept the shortcomings of the marriage.
"Haah.yeah, I will prepare our marriage as soon as possible. Maybe next week we can take the oath together" he said, then push his chair back and get up from his sitting position.
I got off the table and walked up to the man, hugged him and said. "I know what I want isn't what you're planning, but I really want this secret wedding. The status that only the Anggara family knows is enough for me."
"But I promise you, I'll still act like your wife. Even if people think I'm just a lover, I'll try to be a wife inside or outside the castle."
"Yes.I trust you, do whatever you want. The most important thing is to stay by my side, never think of leaving me." replied the one who also hugged me.
"Yes.I will remember that." I replied.
