Marrying a Hardenal Girl

Conversation

That afternoon, at her mother's request, Delano drove her car to Mikayla's house because she had to pick up Mikayla for wedding dress fittings as well as pre-wedding photos in the studio. Both Delano and Mikayla don't like having outdoor photo sessions, they just want everything to be covered. Both of them thought the same way that their marriage would not last long. They just want to please their parents for a while!

Delano arrived at Mikayla's house, which Lady Anggita greeted with a friendly smile.

"Good morning, Auntie." said Delano kindly.

"Please enter Nak Delan. Mikayla was ready. He's in the back door near the park. Go straight there." said Madam Anggita while showing the way with her hands.

Delano nodded with a smile then passed towards the path that Madam Anggita pointed at.

When he reached the door leading to the back garden terrace, Delano heard Mikayla's voice speaking in her window. Delano abandoned his intention to say hello to Mikayla because he did not want to interrupt the conversation which sounded serious. Delano decided to wait until Mikayla was done with her conversation.

Sayups accidentally Delano can hear the conversation.

Mikayla: "Gina, you yourself know that I can't yet .. and will probably never be able to replace the name Delon from my heart. I don't know what to do when I meet Delon. What would she say if she knew I was going to marry her brother? I don't want Delon to think that I want revenge on him!"

Silent. Mikayla was listening to the voice across from her.

Mikayla: "Is that what you said? Do you know where Delon is under stress?"

Silent.

Mikayla: "What? So when he got drunk, he called my name? How humiliating!"

Silent.

Mikayla: "She said that she still loves me? Wait...wait... not wrong? My parents don't agree I'm the same as Delon. My parents didn't like her attitude so I was fooled by Delano."

Silent.

Mikayla: "Delano is nice. Anyway very different with Delon even though I am the same he often quarrels. We don't fit. Maybe because our age is so different. I'm definitely not his type."

Silent.

Mikayla: "Son! I'm the same Delon is done! He betrayed me, even though I still can't forget."

Silent.

Mikayla: "Yes. Next week I'm marrying Delano. I'm sorry, I don't hurt anybody. All are close family. I don't want my married life exposed. How humiliating! I never wanted any of this. Want to run away from home and disappear but I can't afford to live on the street!"

Silent.

Mikayla: "Alright. Let's talk at night. I have an appointment this afternoon. Bye."

Hearing that Mikayla had ended her conversation, Delano was forced to pretend to go back inside the house. He waited a few minutes and then walked back to Mikayla, who was still sitting behind him.

"Met morning, Kayl." said Delano, which made Mikayla immediately turn towards the arrival of the sound.

"Are you ready for the studio? Crew make up is ready to wait for us." said Delano in a flat tone.

Mikayla just nodded without spirit. He stood up and took his bag.

Delano followed Mikayla from behind. They then say goodbye to Mrs Anggita and pass from there to the studio.

Both Mikayla and Delano were silent during the trip. Each with his own thoughts. Mikayla was still thinking about Gina's words about Delon, while Delano was thinking about Mikayla's words about her sister. Delano was still a little shocked to learn that the girl he was going to marry was his sister's ex-lover. What makes it even more unpleasant is that both Mikayla and Delon both still have feelings.

The conversation that Delano had heard earlier now brought a bright spot as to why his sister had always come home drunk ever since she knew that she was about to marry Mikayla!

#In the photo studio

Delano could only stare at the beautiful and dazzling figure before him. A simple yet elegant wedding dress really accentuates the charming side of a Mikayla. Her mother's choice of dress made the girl look very sexy and alluring. Mikayla's minimalist make-up adds to her charm as a real woman.

But all of that was not so enjoyed by Delano. The guilt in his heart towards his sister had made him fret.

"I have taken away the girl he loves! Why didn't Delon ever tell me this?" muttered Delano while tidying up his Tuxedo. He realized that his relationship with Delon had not been so close since he moved to America. Plus their parents who often compare them have made Delon increasingly keep a distance with him.

"Gee.... Mas Delano and Mbak Mikayla are a great couple! Both are handsome and beautiful." said a crew member at Delano and Mikayla who had finished dressing up.

Both Mikayla and Delano were just small smiles.

"Come to the photo room" said the crew as they walked in front of them to the photo studio room.

The photo session went well. Although both are somewhat forced, they do well.

During the road together that day, they only talked potluck. Both are trying to cover up their feelings. Mikayla tried to behave normally by asking things about the two of them.

"Delan, if we're married, where are we going to live? I don't want to live in my parents' house or yours. Really!"

Delano just took a breath. "We're moving to America. That's also if you want. I work there, so it's impossible to stay here." replied Delan with origin.

Mikayla was silent for a moment. "Great dong. I'll be lonely there. I don't have any friends!"

"Quiet down. Later I will introduce to his girlfriend my assistant, Leony.he is Indonesian peranakan so can speak Indonesian fluently. You can be friends with him." said Delano while putting on his sunglasses because the sunlight dazzled his eyes while driving.

Delano glanced at Mikayla from the mirror above. The girl looked uneasy while biting her lips.

"After marriage, we will live in my new apartment I bought. For a while we were there waiting for the date of our return to America. I don't want to live with my parents either. It's not good if they hear us fighting later. I've prepared everything. You just have to bring your clothes."

Hearing Delano's words, Mikayla felt relieved. At least he will not feel hesitant and uncomfortable if he quarrels with Delano.

"You have thought through and prepared everything. At least our parents don't have to watch our stupidity in front of them."

In Mikayla's mind he did not have to sleep in a room with Delano later because if he lived in a house with parents, inevitably they had to room!
