Married a Mafia Princess

Part 18's. Like a Stranger

Arriving inside the bride's second room looked awkward. They are like strangers who don't know each other.

Chexil sat on the edge of the bed waiting for Nathan to talk to him, but the love he was waiting for was even engrossed with his phone. As if I don't care about the surroundings.

Feeling not considered Chexil to lay his body on the mattress until finally he fell asleep.

A little while later Isyana knocked on the door and called out to Nathan.

Tok to tok.

"Nat open the door, it's late in the afternoon, you guys have to be treated again for the reception."

Although the event was relatively small, Zidane decided to invite some relatives close to his family at the reception. Initially Nathan refused to hold a reception but because it became a question mark for both parents finally Nathan agreed.

"Nat, open the door, son!" Ishana knocked on the door again because no one had opened it yet.

Zidane approached the wife who was still standing at the door.

"It's a shame not to be bothered, maybe they're still having fun" Zidane told Isyana.

"But Mas is about to start, how could the bride not be present. If it is not awakened now there will be no time for self-sufficiency" Isyana protested.

"It's still a long way to give them fifteen minutes."

"All right." Finally Isyana relented and left from the front of the bridal room.

Fifteen minutes later the two brides had yet to show up as well. An agitated Mommy Karla finally decides to meet her daughter.

"Chexil wake up, son!" Karla said while knocking on the door.

There was no answer from within as both occupants were already equally sprawled.

Tok to tok.

"Son Nathan wakes up, son, the reception's about to start."

"Mommy." Chexil who heard Mommy Karla's voice immediately woke up. Chexil sat down before opening the door. His gaze swept over every corner of the room. He realized that he had just got married. He smiled, but then his smile faded when he saw Nathan sleeping on the sofa.

"She fell asleep there or did she accidentally sleep there?" ask Chexil in my heart.

Suddenly his heart felt bad. "Didn't Tristan force to replace himself as a groom? What do you think of Chexil? Of course he. You should be able to look up before you think that the man volunteered, "his mind. Chexil smiled bitterly when he saw Nathan's expression in sleep as if his face was dim and never happy with this marriage.

"Oh, what I think is not necessarily true." He got up from his seat and stepped towards the door.

"For so long?" ask mommy Karla after the door opens.

"I overslept Mom." Chexil's seemingly uninspired expression made Mommy Karla feel suspicious. He opened the door wide.

"Why did Nathan sleep on the couch?"

"That's .. that's .. it's because she accidentally overslept there Mom."

"Not intentionally? Why don't you wake up and ask her to move into bed?"

"So we called our friends on campus. Many friends congratulated and teased us. Chexil tired Mom ngadepin all of them who seemed not to stop chatting so Chexil parted to sleep first. Maybe Nathan was tired too and ended up sleeping on the couch."

"Oh yes, thank you. I thought he couldn't accept you as his wife given this sudden marriage, but Xil are you happy with this marriage?"

"Of course Mom Chexil is happy. Mommy knows he's the first guy I've liked even to this day." Chexil tried to smile sweetly at mommy Karla so that her mommy could calm down.

Even if I don't know the real Mom she likes me or not.

"Well then Mommy just wants to let you know that the reception is about to start, so you should get yourself cleaned up."

"Wake Nathan up, tell him the makeup artist's waiting."

Mommy Karla nodded then passed away.

After Mommy Karla went Chexil pensive. He thought about how to wake Nathan up as they both were like strangers.

Chexil forced to approach Nathan and said in front of him. "Hey wake up." Chexil said those words while waving his hand in front of Nathan's face.

Chexil did that three times but it didn't work. Finally, he shook Nathan's shoulder.

"Hey wake up the reception's about to start."

Got a shock from Chexil Nathan was immediately shocked and sat down. "What's wrong?"

"The parents are waiting for us downstairs."

Nathan just nodded. Chexil was silent waiting for Nathan to say.

"Why remain silent? Take a shower and come down first, I'll catch up."

Chexil nodded with a smile. She's so happy Nathan wants to talk to her. Does that mean Nathan already considers his presence?

Chexil rushed into the bathroom. After he finished cleaning himself, he went straight down.

"Where's Miss Chexil Nathan?" ask Isyana.

"Still shower Ma" Chexil said.

"Oh so, huh? Then let you do it first."

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The reception has ended, the invited guests and family have now returned to their homes. Now Chexil and Nathan live in the top room of the hotel owned by the father.

When entering the room, Chexil immediately cleaned himself after that he sat at the dressing table, cleaning the remnants of makeup that was still attached then apply night cream on his face before going to bed.

Nathan, who had also finished bathing, approached Chexil to make Chexil's chest gulp feel tighter. What is the sign that Nathan will ask him to carry out his duties tonight? Even though Chexil is not ready, if the husband wants him, he will obey.

Nathan sat next to Chexil while breathing out and exhaling. The roar of Nathan's breath up to Chexil's face made the girl blush for having thought a no-no.

"Xil." After a long time of sitting, Nathan finally opened his voice.

"Yes?"

Nathan took another breath and exhaled violently. "I know this marriage is a compulsion."

Deg.

Not finished yet Nathan finished his sentence Chexil's heart already felt bad.

"You don't love me and I don't love you."

Why does hearing that phrase Chexil's heart ache. Shouldn't she be ready for it, her marriage was an unwanted marriage anyway. This word he wanted to hear after the wedding of course from Tristan's mouth so that he was free from the obligation that must be carried out but why when the words came out of Nathan's mouth so painful?"

Chexil pressed his chest tight, feeling the room he was sitting in as if it was frozen instantly.

"We cannot sleep in one bed. You sleep in bed and I sleep here." Nathan then spread out the carpet and put a pillow over it.

Chexil wanted to protest and say the feelings he had, but he said it when Nathan's words were ringing in his ears.

"....... and I don't love you."

Why does it hurt so much when our love just claps one hand. Had Tristan said maybe I'd be happy tonight.

Seriate....
