"I love you Julia" said Karel sincerely.
"Thank you Karel," said Julia turning her gaze in any direction.
It's weird talking alone with Karel at this Coffeshop. Although already considered a friend, but after all Karel is a man.
"Jul, remember what I said. Whenever you need a interlocutor, I'll always be there for you" Karel said.
Derrtt..... The sound of Julia's phone shakes rang out from inside her bag. Julia saw it and it was Ben who called her.
- "Hello Ben."
- "Hello Julia. Where are you now? Isn't it time to go home from work? I'm at your house now."
"Sorry Ben, I'm on my way home. What's up?"
- "Oh yeah you've been careful. I'll wait."
"okay Ben. Just a minute."
Julia shut the phone.
"Sorry Karel, I'll go home first. Ben's waiting for me at home" said Julia.
"OK Jul. Be careful on the road" Karel said with a sad face.
Karel has long been interested in Julia, but she knows that Julia only thinks of her as a friend.
Julia drove her car at high speed. He was forced to lie because he did not want Ben to mistakenly think he met Karel alone in Coffeshop.
Arriving at home, Julia saw Ben sitting on the porch of the house was engrossed in playing his phone. Ben looked up at Julia who was parking his car.
"Ben, have you been waiting?" greet Julia as she stands on the terrace.
"Not really."
"What's up here?" ask Julia.
"Oh this is Mama's seat for you" Ben said, handing over a box.
Julia took the box and opened it. It turned out to be a very beautiful necklace.
"It was Mama herself who wanted to give it to you, but there was no time. Mama's busy coming up to our wedding in three days" Ben explained.
"This is a beautiful necklace, Ben. Thank you, please tell Mama Tyas," said Julia moved.
"Mama told me to wear this necklace for our wedding tomorrow" Ben continued.
Julia just nodded her head.
"Julia, I'll go home first. You had a lot of rest before our wedding day. Okay?!" ben's message.
"Yes Ben. You too," said Julia smiling.
Ben gets in his car and drives his car out of Julia's house.
While Julia just looked at Ben's departure with a tight heart. Ben never treated himself romantically. Though Julia knows very well if Ben is a romantic person who always treats his girlfriends with special.
But her???
Julia breathed a heavy sigh and entered her house.

Today finally came ...
Julia's dream wedding was held at a luxury resort witnessed by family and friends.
Julia looks beautiful in a white dress and Ben looks handsome with a black tuxedo.
A happy smile is seen on the faces of Julia and Ben after they are declared legal as a married couple.
But no words of love that Julia really expected, out of Ben's mouth. It's just a whisper of love that Julia gets when Ben kisses her forehead.
Papa Bayu, Mama Devi as well as Papa Andi and Mama Tyas, parents Julia and Ben are very happy with this marriage because each of them already know each other well.
Julia and Ben have a happy welcome from family and friends.
"Congratulations Julia, Ben. May you have happiness" said Karel to Julia and Ben. But there was a sad look in Karel's eyes when he saw Julia.
The two looked at each other for a long time but no words came out of the mouths of the two.
Julia and Ben's wedding party lasted until the afternoon. Afterwards, Julia and Ben stay overnight at the resort and the next day they will immediately leave for Bali for their honeymoon.
When the party is over, Julia and Ben's parents and the family are all back.
Meanwhile, Julia and Ben are in a luxurious and elegant suit room.
Julia took off her wedding dress and quickly took a shower to clean the makeup that was attached to her face.
While Ben took off his tuxedo and fell asleep in bed because he felt tired.
Julia lingered in a bath up to relax her tense muscles today. His mind floated too.
Sadness again moved his heart.
Julia knows that Ben doesn't love her yet, but on her wedding day Julia wants Ben to say love even if it's just on the lips. There were no tears on Julia's cheek.
But his daydream was scrapped when he stung a knock at the door.
"Julia, are you still taking a bath?" ben shouted from outside the bathroom door.
"Wait a minute, I'm almost done" said Julia.
Julia quickly finished her bath and came out of the bathroom wearing only a bathrobe.
"Jul, I took a shower for a while. After this we will have dinner in the room. I've ordered food to be delivered" Ben said and went into the bathroom.
Julia just nodded then opened her bag to choose the dress she was going to wear.
Not long after, Ben came out of the bathroom.
"Food delivered?" ben asked while drying his hair.
"Not yet, maybe in a minute," Julia said.
But soon, the food arrived. That night Julia and Ben dined in the room.
During the meal, Ben and Julia fell silent to each other. Although they have often eaten together, but now both feel strange because now their status has changed to husband and wife.
"Julia, we are now husband and wife. But there's something I want to tell you because I don't want you to get me wrong" Ben said seriously.
"What is Ben?" Julia looked at Ben's eyes wondering.
"Julia, I'm sorry if what I'm about to say will hurt your heart. But I must say this to avoid misunderstanding."
Julia nodded and waited for Ben's next words.
"Julia, our relationship is a bonded friend in marriage."
"meaning?" julia did not understand.
"I mean, I haven't been able to have sex with you because I still consider you my best friend Jul. I'm sorry," said Ben, looking into Julia's eyes.
"Alright if that's what you want, Ben. I can take it. It doesn't matter to me" said Julia casually. Although in the heart feel sad, but Julia still displays a normal face.
"Julia, can you keep this a secret from anyone? Even our parents?" ask Ben again.
"Of course Ben. Don't worry," Julia lowered her head holding back the tears that were about to drip.
For Julia, giving her body is a form of love for Ben, her husband. But it looks like Ben can't love her yet so Julia will wait until Ben loves her even if she doesn't know when that will happen.
That night, Ben and Julia slept together. The large bed made them not touch each other. Julia fell asleep due to the fatigue of living today. Same with Ben.
The next day, Julia and Ben prepare to fly to Bali for their honeymoon.
