My Crazy Lady's
Chapter 22 (MCL)
The day that the entire Jhonson family is waiting for arrives. Maybe not all, because one of the members is not too confusing tonight's event. That person is Hanna.
True, she did not care at all whether the event tonight would happen or not, but now she was sitting on a mirror after wearing a beautiful dress, and again the result of his own design.
Two weeks ago, a tailor sent by Alex came to their house. Carrying a lot of cloth to be sewn into clothes. Hanna chose some sheets that she thought were very good, after all she was being watched by her mother.
Filled with indecision, the tailor begins to measure Hanna's body. However, after that, Hanna asked for the size, and said she would make her own clothes later.
"Don't joke, you're gonna embarrass yourself, '" attacked Ema, who wouldn't accept anything that would embarrass the Jhonson family or the Claymore. They could not repay the kindness of Margaret who had been a sponsor for Hanna's debut later.
"Just calm down, Ma. I also did not want to embarrass myself in front of the 200 hundred invited guests," he muttered still weighing which color of the cloth he would sew first.
Ema and Stuart are excited about tonight's event for introducing their eldest daughter, and that's one way to dismiss the assumption of local people who say that Hanna was cursed to become a weak girl and just locked herself in the room.
For Catherine, her brother's debut was a way for her to secure her position as Alex's future wife. If this event is successful, then there will be many honorable men, either from this village or the next village, who glanced at Hanna, and who knows the proposal to come to their home immediately.
According to Lady Margaret, many guests will also come from London. Alex's friend and colleague, who wants a vacation to the village, said they were willing to meet the invitation.
If Hanna is good with makeup on the face and also chooses clothes, Mery is an expert in hair styling. Look at the work of the girl, deftly twisting Hanna's hair into beautiful curls wrapped around diamond strands.
As the lipstick applied to her lips, the door to Hanna's room opened, Ema walked in saying it was time.
Two days before her debut, Lady Margaret asked them to come and live in their home where the event took place.
It was at first incriminating for Hanna to come, but it turned out that nature was still on her side, Alex during that day was also in London, taking care of the land she had just bought. Hanna listen, the man is now venturing into the hospitality business. So until now they have not met.
Hanna even hoped, if the pretentious master was not present that night, let him in London alone during this event. However, 20 minutes before Mery did his haircut, the girl brought news of the Duke's arrival in this house.
"You're perfect, honey. I'm proud of you. May the stars shine tonight, and there will be men who will want you" Ema said. A tear in the corner of his eye.
Mom just calm down. Not because even tonight, I've been proposed to by an Earl!
That thought made him smile. Ema thought it was a reply to her words until she replied with a smile.
The two came out of the room. Although it does not care about this event, but it cannot be denied, Hanna is very stubborn. He had never been faced with an event like this.
Well, he may have read a little bit in British history and culture, but to jump right in, there is no picture at all.
Step by step Hanna was accompanied by the pounding of her own heart. Just as she was at the top of the stairs, all pairs of eyes were on her, making Hanna even more nervous.
Music has been played. The strains of violin and piano accompanied Hanna's graceful steps at her father's side. Full of courage, Hanna challenged those hundreds of pairs of eyes, without even trying to blink an inch.
Just below the last rung of stairs, the first person Hanna saw was Alex. Smile at him with a proud look. Hanna's face heated up just being stared at by the man. It was as if only the opinion of the man was important.
Lady Margaret came forward, approached Hanna and began to speak. A series of sentences introduces Hanna, the eldest daughter of the Jhonson family, her age as well as some of the girl's favorites.
Hanna looked enthusiastically at the people who were starting to approach, wanting to see Hanna's very different appearance. Starting from how to dress, makeup, all look foreign, however, very beautiful charming. Whispers began, some expressed positive things but, not a few who sneered, especially from their neighboring families in the village, who envies Stuart and Ema for getting a sponsor as big as the Claymore family for their son's debut.
"I don't remember if you had a daughter this beautiful, Mr. Jhonson," said the mayor, who happened to know Jhonson.
"Oh, thank you for your compliment, and thank you for coming to Hanna's party" Stuart replied politely.
"Right the mayor said, I didn't expect any beautiful jewels from the Holy village to surface," said the man from Hanna's judgment, who was an important person and a respected noble.
The longer, the more men who approached Hanna, old, young, single or married, scrambling to get acquainted and take the girl's sympathy.
From his place, Alex just lurks. They can get close, just touch Hanna's hand, more than that, then the punishment they will get.
A bored face is also shown by the girl. He knows his bad girl character. Hanna must be eager to get rid of all those men. The music brings the idea to Alex, just as someone invites Hanna to dance.
"I'm sorry, sir. My luck tonight as the son of a sponsor is, getting the honor of being the man who danced with lady Hanna for the first time. This girl's hand was handed over to me to accompany her to the dance" Alex said, taking Hanna to the middle of the dance floor. All eyes were on them.
"Just relax, don't be nervous, I'll take care of you" Alex whispered with a teasing smile.
"You're so kind, My Lord. But I'm sorry, you have to be tormented because I can't dance. If your foot gets stepped on, then smile for me!"
