Marriage But the Enemy

NTM: 4.1

Still ringing in my brain about our conversation a few tens of minutes ago...

[...]

"Fabian, are you sure you want to continue this marriage??" I asked directly at the core of this conversation.

I looked at him without hesitation. He was the same, returning my undaunted gaze. We looked seriously. It read from the lightning of his eyes that he was quite surprised by my question but it seemed Fabian was indeed very adept at covering up his feelings so that I could no longer think about what he was feeling right now.

"Why did you ask that??" He cringed. His face seemed disturbed.

I frowned. Maybe it was the arena he was a bit shaken by my question just now.

"The wedding will happen tomorrow. It would be a waste if you asked that now." He said it was ketus.

I shook my head quickly. Disagree with his opinion. "YET! It's not too late Fabian. As long as there is still time. during the yellow janur has not curved. It's not too late!" I said trying to convince him.

Bian was silent for a moment. He just looked at me with his face. His usually sharp eyes even tend to be soft now. Whether it implies sadness or not, but it makes more sense that he is tired. Yeah, tired of working. It could be, right?

"Why?" The question that makes me cringe.

"Why really?? Do you want to cancel the wedding??!" Show it to me again. "Aren't you ready to bear the consequences by making all the family ashamed??"

I let out a breath. "It's not so..."

"Not so, what??" He looked at me sharply. "Lo asks that, doesn't this mean? WEDDING ANNULMENT, huh, right??"

"Not that, Fabian!" My firmness. He fell silent, obeying my words just now. But his sharp gaze was still there. Not faded at all!

When he calmed down, I began to explain. "Gue doesn't want to be selfish. Even though you're my enemy, I keep thinking..."

Now, replace him who frowned. "What thoughts??"

I'm staring. Observing the firm line of his jaw that is increasingly visible. Right, Fabian is getting thinner now...

"Lo stress huh, because of this marriage? So now your body is more thin like this," said I who even made him speechless. I frowned when she did not respond to me either.

"Emang, we don't like each other. We're enemies. But still, if you suffer more than me, I'll still feel guilty." I mean it to him. "It doesn't feel right to see you get thinner and drier while I'm fine. That doesn't mean..Lo suffered more than I did because of this marriage??"

I was stunned for a moment so faint a very thin smile was created from his lip line. Between me being wrongly seen or misinterpreted, his face was much friendlier than before.

"Hey.." he snorted. "Gue is thinner not because of the stress of marriage. But since there's something else that's left to mind, just so you know!"

"He?" I'm dumbfounded. "It's not because of marriage? He then nodded.

"No" he answered convincingly.

"Certainly if not? What's??"

"Yes, what else??" I asked again, half annoyed.

"It's important that you know?? This is my business."

Hid. He could even speak so after my painstaking thinking about his condition. It was too useless for me to worry about his condition. He is a man who does not know how to profit!

I rolled my eyeballs. It also feels bad. Fabian Samudra is a bitch!

"Judek. Whatever." My reply is to be alone.

I let out a breath. When I glanced at him again, I wanted to ask once more as the last time before this conversation was really over. "So you're sure you keep this wedding??"

"Yes!" Answer without a second thought. I wonder, what the hell is in his brain? Why could he be this confident while he was about to marry his own enemy?! It needs to be underlined, HIS ENEMY is not his best friend!

"For the common good." Further again. There was a reason for this decision. And I am just like him.

"OKAY. But do not let you regret this decision. This offer will not come twice!" I said I was really warning him.

He smiled thinly. "Compared to me, you should worry more about yourself. Because it seems you are sorry."

His words hit me instantly. Until right into the axis my vocal cords came from, to the point that I couldn't speak anything to respond to them. I'm choked!

He took his face off from me. Staring at the peaceful stillness of the lake without ripples. Pretty long. And all that time I was only able to look at him from beside his face.

As he said, it was true that it seemed like I had to worry more about myself for my regrets that might go deeper in the future. But how? I can't do anything but agree. And, Bian clearly knew that.

"But,"

I who looked down again when I heard him speak again suddenly. I'm staring. Waiting for him to continue his words.

"Although, I will make sure after marriage later. Because I promise, I'll make you happy."

[...]

At that time I was only able to be silent, looking into his eyes which implied seriousness that I did not understand the meaning. I don't want to lie that I see sincerity there. Right in his black eye bead.

I bit my lower lip unconsciously. My heart somehow has an uncomfortable feeling when I remember it again. Moreover, back to remembering that he is my sworn enemy.

Right, he's my enemy. Which then I'll marry him.
