Marriage Should Not be Love

Denise

Lala wiped her tears before getting down from Adit's car.She did not say a word.Newly this time she felt, got the expression of love but the pain was overwhelming, because the person who expressed love to her could not be hers.

Lala walked slowly into her shop.Although she had wiped her tears but still seen that she had finished crying.There was only Vira in the store.May and Siti was on lunch break.Lala just kept quiet.She did not greet the Vira who from watching him.

Vira's approaching Lala.

"Mbak Lala ain't nothing?" ask Vira.

"I'm nothing Vira."

"But Mbak Lala cried.What is Mas Juna?" he had worked for Ms. Mieke long enough, so he knew a little about Lala and Juna.

"Not Vira, that's my other friend" Lala replied gloomily.

"Sir Lala can rest, let me take care of the shop myself."

"Thank you, Vira, I do want to calm my mind.You will change lunch with Mei and Siti." Lala stands up then leaves Vira alone in the store.It's just in the middle of the day so the store is not so crowded.

Mbak Lala why, go back and forth a while already crying.Whoain the same who had the car earlier? What was that handsome Arjuna. Uh ... but Mbak Lala is still dating the same she isn't? I have been dating for a long time, but not married? Sweet couple really them both.If married later whose son is rich, Juna her handsome Mbak Lala is beautiful.If you have a boyfriend like Juna how does it feel ... Vira's mind bogged down somewhere.She's like a netizen who hasn't been able to move on when her idol has broken up with her boyfriend.

There is a notification of incoming messages.Lala open the phone.

"Who is this from? Foreign number," he murmured softly.Then he read the message.

"Can we meet? Denise."

Lala took a deep breath after reading the message.Siang had met Adit and Denise invited him to meet in the afternoon. It will definitely not be good Lala thought, but she will deal with it.

"OK.K**apan, where?"

"It's up to you when."

"Later tonight?"

"Okay, I'm waiting at restaurant X."

Lala did not know what Denise meant to take her to meet.

Her night...

Lala meets Denise at restaurant X as they have agreed.Denise and Lala sit opposite each other's dishes in front of her.

"So ... how close is your relationship with Adit? I've seen Adit hug you so you guys must be very close." Denise started talking.

"What do you think?"

"I guess ... ?" Denise thought for a moment. "I think Adit must really like you" Denise replied. "Adit will not carelessly hug people," he continued casually.There was no look of sadness or disappointment on his face.

"Aren't you angry to see him hug me?"

Denise shakes. "I don't blame you, I'm just curious."

"Curious?" ask Lala wonder.

"Yes ... You must be so special that Adit likes you so much, Aunt Andreas also takes you into account.You must not be an ordinary girl," explained Denise. "I kept wondering what was so special about you that I invited you to meet."

"Now you've met me.So what do you think?"

"Well ... physically you are beautiful, you also look smart and judging from your appearance also it seems you are not the type of woman who takes advantage of Adit." Denise said her assessment was not covered up.Then she stopped talking for a moment. "So .. I want you to teach me how to conquer Adit" Denise said without hesitation.

"At least I can learn from you how to approach it" Denise replied lightly. "Tell me how you got close to Adit.I've talked at length from earlier.Now it's your turn," Denise said with a smile.

Lala looked at Denise.Di could not understand the way of this girl's mind.Every word that came out of her mouth just flowed, not made-up nor forced.Smiling is friendly and natural motion, natural, not awkward or awkward at all.

"Why shut up? Tell me, I'm fine" Denise said, enjoying her dinner.

Looks like he's sincere.Do I have to tell him everything? inner Lala.

"We were close, but at that time I didn't know you were engaged.He never told me."

"Definitely! I've never even seen him talk" Denise said flatly.

"Why do you want to be betrothed?" ask Lala.

"You know, I was young back then, and Adit was very handsome, and you admit it too, isn't he very handsome?" seduce Denise with a smile.

"That's undeniable, indeed" Lala replied laughing.

"So I just wanted to be betrothed to him.He was like my prince at that time.But that was," Denise told me. "During my stay abroad, I knew Adit was dating other girls here a lot, so no hypocrite, I was also in a relationship with other people there."

"I can understand that," muttered Lala.

"But I'm here now.I'm going to start my life with Adit so I'm going to try to get his heart, you better get away from him" Denise smiled as she winked one eye at Lala.

Somehow Lala is not offended by Denise's words, she laughs.

"But I had a hard time getting close to him, whenever I was around him I was always nervous and lost for words" Denise continued. "Therefore I want to learn from you how to conquer Adit" Denise whispered later.

Lala laughed, Denise looked very graceful and classy but she spoke so silly behavior.

"You're very different from your future father-in-law Denise" Lala said unknowingly.

" What do you mean Lala?"

"Have it, forget it.Don't get Adit's attention, he doesn't like women looking for attention from him," Lala replied, turning the conversation around.

"Adit is not like most men.She can not express her feelings.She can look very upset when it's her way of covering up if she is happy, she can not express her feelings, he can look cute when in fact he is paying attention.All he displays is his way to hide his true feelings.As long as you know, actually he is very fragile." Lala remembered Adit.

"Do you love her so much?" ask Denise.

"I don't know" Lala replied.

"We've been close for a long time, it wasn't like this, I considered him a big brother.In the beginning he often made me feel uncomfortable, but I assumed he was looking for my attention.I often denied his orders, I often denied, also often ignored him but that's why he bothers me more and more." Lala so remembered the beginning of her closeness with Adit first.Lala looked at Denise's face, her expression flat.

"Denise, we're talking about your fiancee, why are you that calm?"

"What should I do?" ask Denise plain.

"Ah .. It's been a waste I've felt guilty about you all this time." Then the two girls laughed at the same time, as if they had known each other for a long time and were close friends.

"I don't love him yet, so I don't feel jealous or anything.I'm trying to get his attention because he's going to be my husband."

"I don't understand your way of thinking rich people.If you don't love her why don't you refuse to be betrothed to her?"

"It has become a tradition in our family, also the Adit family.The fate of children is in the hands of parents.Our parents were also betrothed.So are our grandparents.It has been passed down like that.We children can only resign."

"Have you never been in love?" ask Lala.

"What is love? We don't believe in love.We just believe in money."
